The Book of Family Prayer
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Webber, Robert E., PUBLISHER: Hendrickson Publishers, In an age where social isolation is as much a reality within our homes and families as it is in the outside world, Robert Webber invites us to turn off the television, and remember again what day this is, what season" to participate in a celebration of life's special occasions, joys, and difficulties as a family. With responsive readings of prayer and scripture such as are found in the widely used and revered "Book of Common Prayer, The Book of Family Prayer" provides a setting in which families can participate and grow in the often poetic and dynamically enriching discipline of household worship and devotion. Sections for all the seasons of the church year, special occasions, and non-festive seasons that include points of interest and discussion questions encourage families to grow in their awareness of the wonderful life around them and to mark the time that we might learn to be increasingly mindful of who we are as Christians and members of a family.

The Discretionary Economy: A Normative Theory of Political
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Tool, Marc R., PUBLISHER: Westview Press, The Discretionary Economy argues that we do in fact control our own political and economic destinies. As a community, we have discretion over policies that determine whether an economic process adequately provides for the necessities of life. We also determine who participates in normative public judgments and whether decisions distinguish between what is and what ought to be. Tool argues that we must continuously organize the institutional structures through which economic and political functions in the social process are carried on. We must exercise discretion by creating and modifying institutions that coordinate our behavior. To exercise discretion effectively requires that we employ distinctively American economic, political, and philosophical theory. In this volume, the pivotal twentieth-century contributors to this encompassing theory of political economy are Thorstein Veblen, John Dewey, Clarence Ayres, and R. Fagg Foster. This volume presents, in detail, their analytical and philosophical perspective on social change. A major purpose of this volume is to compare and contrast the American tradition with the traditions of capitalism, Marxism, and fascism, demonstrating that the former can resolve compelling economic and political problems and the latter two cannot. This book explains how to identify and analyze social, economic, and political problems confronted in all communities, and how to go about framing and implementing structural adjustments in the political economy. It will be of interest to students in non-traditional courses in political economy including institutional economics, contemporary social problems, economics and social policy, methodology, andcontemporary economic thought.
Star Trek Logs Nine and Ten
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Foster, Alan Dean, PUBLISHER: Del Rey Books, "SPACE. THE FINAL FRONTIER... These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise(TM)." Celebrate the fortieth anniversary of Star Trek(R) with the original mission logs chronicling some of the crew's most bizarre missions and strangest encounters with alien races across the galaxy... where no man has gone before(TM). Bem It seems a simple request. The Pandronians have petitioned to send a representative to observe a Federation crew carrying out a survey mission. So Commander Ari bn Bem joins Captain Kirk to evaluate aboriginal life forms of undetermined intelligence and accomplishments on planet Delta Theta Three. There, the trouble begins with an omniscient entity. Then disaster summons Bem to his home planet, with the Enterprise ordered to assist him in every way. The shocking theft of a priceless treasure threatens to reduce Pandronian civilization to anarchy-and bring the crew of the Enterprise to the brink of disaster. Slaver Weapon A billion years ago Slavers ruled the galaxy, but all that remains of their once awesome empire is concentrated in extraordinary cubes known as stasis boxes. Now the Enterprise must transport a stasis box containing the ultimate weapon, a war computer/handgun with settings that fire nuclear explosions. But the Kzin-violent, ferocious, catlike creatures-crave the weapon that will make the galaxy a smorgasbord for their insatiable appetites. With ruthless cunning they lure the unsuspecting starship to an icy planet, where a cataclysmic fate awaits them-and the universe.
Silence and Freedom
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Seidman, Louis Michael, PUBLISHER: Stanford University Press, "You have the right to remain silent." These words, drawn from the Supreme Court's famous decision in "Miranda v. Arizona," have had a tremendous impact on the public imagination. But what a strange right this is. Of all the activities that are especially worthy of protection, that define us as human beings, foster human potential, and symbolize human ambition, why privilege silence? This thoughtful and iconoclastic book argues that silence can be an expression of freedom. A defiant silence demonstrates determination, courage, and will. Martyrs from a variety of faith traditions have given up their lives rather than renounce their god. During the Vietnam era, thousands of anonymous draft resisters refused to take the military oath that was a prelude to participating in what they believed was an immoral war. These silences speak to us. They are a manifestation of connection, commitment, and meaning. This link between silence and freedom is apparent in a variety of different contexts, which Seidman examines individually, including silence and apology, silence and self-incrimination, silence and interrogation, silence and torture, and silence and death. In discussing the problem of apology, for example, the author argues that although apology plays a crucial role in maintaining the illusion of human connection, the right to not apologize is equally crucial. Similarly, prohibition against torture--so prominent in national debate since the events of Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib--is best understood as a right to silence, essential in preserving the distinction between mind and body on which human freedom depends.

The Other American Drama
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Robinson, Marc, PUBLISHER: Johns Hopkins University Press, The Other American Drama proposes an alternative to the received history of American drama, the Eugene O'Neill-Arthur Miller-August Wilson line of development so familiar to readers of standard drama surveys. Marc Robinson begins his book with a study of Gertrude Stein, whose prolific career as a playwright has been unjustly overshadowed by that of O'Neill. Subsequent essays rethink familiar figures such as Tennessee Williams and Sam Shepard, and make the case for such undervalued writers as Maria Irene Fornes, Adrienne Kennedy, and Richard Foreman. An afterword suggests new directions in the work of several younger playwrights. Robinson's book is the first to discuss Stein, Fornes, Kennedy, and Foreman as essential members of modern American theater rather than as curious fringe figures. He shows how these writers direct attention away from plots, experiment with form, redefine emotion and psychology, and search for the essences of theatrical notions usually taken for granted, such as presence, speech, and movement. Taken together, his essays trace the evolution of a truly innovative American drama. "Robinson has produced a work that will be viewed not only] as an important contribution to American theatre, but also as a significant book about the place of drama in American literature."--Theatre Studies "At a time when a new generation of critics is under increasing pressure to 'theorize' drama, often before having had a chance to experience at first hand this most performative of the performing arts, Marc Robinson's The Other American Drama stands out as a bright and informed work."--American Theatre " Robinson's] range is impressive and his insights penetrating."--TheatreJournal

Post-Bellum, Pre-Harlem: African American Literature and
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: McCaskill, Barbara / Gebhard, Caroline, PUBLISHER: New York University Press, The years between the collapse of Reconstruction and the end of World War I mark a pivotal moment in African American cultural production. Christened the "Post-Bellum-Pre-Harlem" era by the novelist Charles Chesnutt, these years look back to the antislavery movement and forward to the artistic flowering and racial self-consciousness of the Harlem Renaissance. Post-Bellum, Pre-Harlem offers fresh perspectives on the literary and cultural achievements of African American men and women during this critically neglected, though vitally important, period of our nation's past. Using a wide range of disciplinary approaches, the sixteen scholars gathered here offer both a reappraisal and celebration of African American cultural production during these influential decades. Alongside discussions of political and artistic icons such as Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. Du Bois, Henry Ossawa Tanner, and James Weldon Johnson are essays revaluing figures such as the writers Paul and Alice Dunbar-Nelson, the New England painter Edward Mitchell Bannister, and Georgia-based activists Lucy Craft Laney and Emmanuel King Love. Contributors explore an array of forms from fine art to anti-lynching drama, from sermons to ragtime and blues, and from dialect pieces and early black musical theater to serious fiction. Contributors include: Frances Smith Foster, Carla L. Peterson, Gwendolyn DuBois Shaw, Audrey Thomas McCluskey, Barbara Ryan, Robert M. Dowling, Barbara A. Baker, Paula Bernat Bennett, Philip J. Kowalski, Nikki L. Brown, Koritha A. Mitchell, Margaret Crumpton Winter, Rhonda Reymond, and Andrew J. Scheiber.
Salvation City
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Nunez, Sigrid, PUBLISHER: Riverhead Books, From the critically acclaimed author of "The Last of Her Kind," a breakout novel that imagines the aftermath of pandemic flu, as seen through the eyes of a thirteen-year-old boy uncertain of his destiny. His family's sole survivor after a flu pandemic has killed large numbers of people worldwide, Cole Vining is lucky to have found refuge with the evangelical Pastor Wyatt and his wife in a small town in southern Indiana. As the world outside has grown increasingly anarchic, Salvation City has been spared much of the devastation, and its residents have renewed their preparations for the Rapture. Grateful for the shelter and love of his foster family (and relieved to have been saved from the horrid, overrun orphanages that have sprung up around the country), Cole begins to form relationships within the larger community. But despite his affection for this place, he struggles with memories of the very different world in which he was reared. Is there room to love both Wyatt and his parents? Are they still his parents if they are no longer there? As others around him grow increasingly fixated on the hope of salvation and the new life to come through the imminent Rapture, Cole begins to conceive of a different future for himself, one in which his own dreams of heroism seem within reach. Written in Sigrid Nunez's deceptively simple style, "Salvation City" is a story of love, betrayal, and forgiveness, weaving the deeply affecting story of a young boy's transformation with a profound meditation on the meaning of belief and heroism.

The Marine Mammals of the Gulf of Mexico
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Wursig, Bernd G. / Jefferson, Thomas A. / Schmidly, David J., PUBLISHER: Texas A&M University Press, The Gulf of Mexico teems with a much greater number and range of whales, dolphins, and other mammalian species than was suspected only a few years ago. In The Marine Mammals of the Gulf of Mexico, Bernd Wursig, Thomas A. Jefferson, and David J. Schmidly provide information on all known species, valuable identification tools, and up-to-date research on behavior, group sizes, reproduction, and underwater calls. The introduction presents an overview of the whales, dolphins, pinnipeds, and other marine mammals of the world, discussing their basic biology and outlining their differences. The authors then describe the characteristics of the Gulf that affect the marine mammal species that inhabit it or occasionally enter its waters. The main body of this important new guide provides a checklist of the species, keys to identification, and species descriptions of the marine mammals known or believed to occupy the Gulf. More than thirty color plates by marine artist Larry Foster and thirty-two color photographs illustrate these creatures. Another unique feature of this volume is a set of drawings of the skulls of all the Gulf species; these skull keys will at last enable individuals involved in the Gulf Stranding Network, a volunteer operation that rescues and recovers beached or stranded marine mammals, to easily identify species along the Gulf Coast. Finally, the book also discusses environmental problems of the Gulf as they affect marine mammals and considers the conservation and management tools needed to preserve them in their habitats. The Marine Mammals of the Gulf of Mexico will prove a useful reference for marine biologists, volunteers with scientific and rescueorganizations, and anyone else interested in further study of these animals.
A Message to the Overcomer
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dozier, Rosita, PUBLISHER: Xulon Press, A Message to the Overcomer is a collection of messages originally written for a weekly e-mail ministry. The intent of each message is to encourage Christians to experience a deeper life in Christ. Each message offers a practical approach to overcoming lifes issues. The book has six categories and they include principles to live by, Christian living, old and new, salvation and exhortation. The first category is the introduction and it gives the reader a scriptural reference for the overcoming message. The purpose of the book is to share with the body of Christ the practical application of Gods word. As they apply the word in their lives they will begin experiencing the overcoming life. My desire is to see Gods people grow in grace and in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. I pray God will open up the eyes of your understanding as you enter into the world of the overcomer. Rosita Doziers life changed August when she gave her life to Christ. That event set her life on a path of studying and learning all that she could about God and his son the Lord Jesus Christ. The first six years were set aside for intensive spiritual training, which included learning how to pray, how to study the scripture, outreach, teaching and full time ministry. The overall focus of the training was to overcome the world, the flesh and the devil. Thus living the overcoming life is more than a concept to Rosita, it is a way of life. Teaching women is her top priority, and she has conducted bible studies for over twenty years. Shes written articles for church newsletters, helped pastors put oral messages into print and edited several books. She writes often and looks forward to writing many more books tothe glory of God.
The Jewel and the Sword
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Jones, Marjorie, PUBLISHER: Medallion Press, Following the ensuing battle with the Earl of Ravenstone's forces, Meghan Douglas tends to the wounds of her father's men, the Laird of Clan Douglas. Among the fallen, she finds a sorely wounded English knight. Though he is an enemy, Meghan takes pity on the handsome, burly stranger and has him taken to a chamber. There, once he has been securely bound to her father's bed, she attempts to save his life, attending to the most intimate details of his care. When Devlin Barnett regains consciousness at last, it is only to find himself tied to a bed, being cared for by a beautiful young woman. Not just any young woman, however, but the daughter of his treacherous foster brother, the Laird of the keep, for whom he is now being held as ransom. To make matters worse, he finds his traitorous, vulnerable body responding to Meghan's tender ministrations in a most alarming, and conspicuous, manner. Meghan cannot deny the powerful attraction she feels for the captive in her bed... the captive who so stubbornly refuses to give up his name. She knows only that he is one of the Earl of Ravenstone's knights. Devlin finally manages to escape, both his imprisonment and the danger to his heart. He has not gone far, however, when he realizes he is being followed. His emotions are in peril once again, for the lovely Meghan insists he take her to Ravenstone's castle that she might plead for her father's release. She has no idea of her former prisoner's true identity. Or the forces of evil that will be unleashed to separate and destroy.

American Empire: The Realities and Consequences of U.S.
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bacevich, Andrew J., PUBLISHER: Harvard University Press, In a challenging, provocative book, Andrew Bacevich reconsiders the assumptions and purposes governing the exercise of American global power. Examining the presidencies of George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton--as well as George W. Bush's first year in office--he demolishes the view that the United States has failed to devise a replacement for containment as a basis for foreign policy. He finds instead that successive post-Cold War administrations have adhered to a well-defined "strategy of openness." Motivated by the imperative of economic expansionism, that strategy aims to foster an open and integrated international order, thereby perpetuating the undisputed primacy of the world's sole remaining superpower. Moreover, openness is not a new strategy, but has been an abiding preoccupation of policymakers as far back as Woodrow Wilson. Although based on expectations that eliminating barriers to the movement of trade, capital, and ideas nurtures not only affluence but also democracy, the aggressive pursuit of openness has met considerable resistance. To overcome that resistance, U.S. policymakers have with increasing frequency resorted to force, and military power has emerged as never before as the preferred instrument of American statecraft, resulting in the progressive militarization of U.S. foreign policy. Neither indictment nor celebration, "American Empire" sees the drive for openness for what it is--a breathtakingly ambitious project aimed at erecting a global imperium. Large questions remain about that project's feasibility and about the human, financial, and moral costs that it will entail. By penetrating the illusions obscuring the reality of U.S. policy, this book marks an essential first step toward finding the answers.
Closer: Performance, Technologies, Phenomenology
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kozel, Susan, PUBLISHER: MIT Press (MA), In "Closer, " Susan Kozel draws on live performance practice, digital technologies, and the philosophical approach of phenomenology. Trained in dance and philosophy, Kozel places the human body at the center of explorations of interactive interfaces, responsive systems, and affective computing, asking what can be discovered as we become closer to our computers--as they become extensions of our ways of thinking, moving, and touching. Performance, Kozel argues, can act as a catalyst for understanding wider social and cultural uses of digital technology. Taking this one step further, performative acts of sharing the body through our digital devices foster a collaborative construction of new physical states, levels of conscious awareness, and even ethics. We reencounter ourselves and others through our interactive computer systems. What we need now are conceptual and methodological frameworks to reflect this. Kozel offers a timely reworking of the phenomenology of French philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty. This method, based on a respect for lived experience, begins by listening to the senses and noting insights that arrive in the midst of dance, or quite simply in the midst of life. The combination of performance and phenomenology offered by "Closer" yields entwinements between experience and reflection that shed light on, problematize, or restructure scholarly approaches to human bodies using digital technologies. After outlining her approach and methodology and clarifying the key concepts of performance, technologies, and virtuality, Kozel applies phenomenological method to the experience of designing and performing in a range of computational systems: telematics, motion capture, responsive architectures, and wearable computing. The transformative potential of the alchemy between bodies and technologies is the foundation of "Closer." With careful design, future generations of responsive systems and mobile devices can expand our social, physical, and emotional exchanges.
