"Sunday Dinners" brings readers to the kitchen and dining-room tables of fourteen of <strong>Americastrong>'s favorite pastors and their families as they share their Sunday traditions, mealtime blessings, inspiring stories, strong family values, and favorite recipes. Research shows that eating dinner together strengthens a family's bond, and Sunday dinners are especially sacred. They are a time to bring everyone together, catch up, teach children manners and social skills, stay connected with teens, learn about family history and values, and nourish our bodies and souls. In "Sunday Dinners," the pastor-families who share their experiences are known not just for their successes in the pulpit and in their communities, but also for the strong families they have built. They preach it, and they live it, and that's inspiring. This is a cookbook to be read and savored, to remind us that no matter how busy we think we are, we can still take time to come together, break bread, and connect with family and good friends.

The Cooperative Solution: Toward a Just Economy

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Williams, Richard C. / Lederach, John Paul, PUBLISHER: University Press of <strong>Americastrong>, All over the world, poverty is gradually giving way to cooperative economic activity. At the same time, there are signs that standard competitive 'free' markets are failing. Empirical evidence shows that cooperation works <strong>betterstrong> than competition and that cooperatives succeed more often than standard corporations. Assumptions underlying the competitive system are that competition results in equity for all and that poverty can be eliminated through the market. These assumptions simply are not true. On the contrary, the rich get richer; the poor, poorer. Cooperatives, where each member holds one share and one vote, are more democratic than hierarchical corporations. Poverty is actually eliminated through a combination of microfinance and cooperation. Examples include Muhammed Yunus' Grameen Bank, Indonesia's People's Bank, and the cooperative adventure of Mondragon in Spain. These examples provide a vision of true globalization from below, a vision of a just and sustainable world. The 'how-to' is right here.

What Is America?: A Short History of the New World Order

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Wright, Ronald, PUBLISHER: Knopf Canada, From the award-winning, #1 bestselling author of A Short History of Progress comes another surprising, frightening and essential book. The USA is now the world's lone superpower, whose deeds could make or break this century. For <strong>betterstrong> and worse, <strong>Americastrong> has <strong>Americastrong>nized the world. How did a marginal frontier society, in a mere two centuries, become the de facto ruler of the world? Why do <strong>Americastrong>'s great achievements in democracy, prosperity and civil rights now seem threatened by forces within itself? Brimming with insight into history and human behaviour, and written in Wright's captivating style, What Is <strong>Americastrong>? shows how this came to pass; how the United States, which regards itself as the most modern country on earth, is also deeply archaic, a stronghold not only of religious fundamentalism but of "modern" beliefs in limitless progress and a universal mission that have fallen under suspicion elsewhere in the west, a rethinking driven by two World Wars and the reckless looting of our planet. A fresh, passionate look at the past and future of the world's most powerful nation, What Is <strong>Americastrong>? will reframe the debate about our neighbour and ourselves.

By Popular Demand

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gastil, John, PUBLISHER: University of California Press, John Gastil challenges conventional assumptions about public opinion, elections, and political expression in this persuasive treatise on how to revitalize the system of representative democracy in the United States. Gastil argues that <strong>Americastrong>n citizens have difficulty developing clear policy interests, seldom reject unrepresentative public officials, and lack a strong public voice. Our <strong>growingstrong> awareness of a flawed electoral system is causing increased public cynicism and apathy. The most popular reforms, however, will neither restore public trust nor improve representation. Term limits and campaign finance reforms will increase turnover, but they provide no mechanism for improved deliberation and accountability. Building on the success of citizen juries and deliberative polling, Gastil proposes improving our current process by convening randomly selected panels of citizens to deliberate for several days on ballot measures and candidates. Voters would learn about the judgments of these citizen panels through voting guides and possibly information printed on official ballots. The result would be a more representative government and a less cynical public. <strong>Americastrong> has a long history of experimentation with electoral systems, and the proposals in "By Popular Demand" merit serious consideration and debate.
