Green Households: Domestic Consumers, the Environment and
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Noorman, Klaas J. / Uiterkamp, Ton S., PUBLISHER: Earthscan Publications, Households are one of the main sources of waste and of other environmental impacts. Yet most attention to date has focused on the effects of business and industry, rather than on domestic consumption of goods, energy and resources and their resulting outputs.Green Households? is the first book to concentrate on this vital but neglected sector. Drawing on empirical research largely from The Netherlands, it takes households as consumer units and examines the entire household metabolism. This includes the way domestic demand can influence where and how goods and services are produced, resource flows through households, and the differential environmental impacts of different lifestyles.It shows both what would constitute sustainable domestic consumption and how far there is to go to achieve this in industrialised and affluent Western society. Those involved in planning and policy as it affects households and urban development, as well as students and researchers in social science and environmental studies will find it an invaluable source of information.

Kingdom Relationships: God's Laws for the Community of Faith
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Moseley, Ron, PUBLISHER: Messianic Jewish Resources International, Dr. Ron Moseley's Yeshua: A Guide to the Real Jesus and the Original Church has taught thousands of people about the Jewishness of not only Yeshua, but of the first followers of the Messiah. In this work, Moseley focuses on the teaching of Torah -- the Five Books of Moses -- tapping into truths that greatly help modern-day members of the community of faith. The first section explains the relationship of both the Jewish people and Christians to the Kingdom of God. The second section lists the laws that are applicable to a non-Jew living in the twenty-first century and outside of the land of Israel. This book is needed because these little known laws of God's Kingdom were, according to Yeshua, the most salient features of the first-century community of believers. Yeshua even warned that anyone breaking these laws would be least in the Kingdom (Matt. 5: 19). Additionally, these laws will be the basis for judgment at the end of every believer's life.

Diminishing Welfare: A Cross-National Study of Social
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Goldberg, Gertrude Schaffner / Rosenthal, Marguerite G. / Goldberg, Gertrude S., PUBLISHER: Praeger, Particularly in the s, social welfare programs have been cut back in a number of countries. Indeed, the phrases "ending welfare as we know it" or "dismantling the welfare state" have been used to describe this trend. In this analysis by well-recognized social welfare scholars, the nature and extent of changes in social welfare programs in key industrial or post-industrial countries is scrutinized. Determining if and how social welfare and employment rospects have been cut back in the United States, Canada, Sweden, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Hungary, and Japan helps to identify the population groups hardest hit by cutback. In the United States, for example, poor, single-mother families have suffered major reductions in income support, while more powerful groups have avoided major losses. This cross-national study not only sheds light on general trends in social welfare but also provides clues to what constitutes successful reform and what has failed. This major comparative analysis will be of interest to scholars, students, policy makers, and professionals as well as the general public concerned with social welfare issues, full employment, poverty, and economic inequality.
America's Undeclared War: What's Killing Our Cities and How
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lazare, Daniel, PUBLISHER: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH), "I view great cities as pestilential to the morals, the health, and the liberties of man," wrote Thomas Jefferson in , sounding a note that has echoed throughout American history. In this bracing reexamination, Daniel Lazare traces the progress of America's unwavering war on its cities and looks at the profound consequences. From Jefferson through Henry Ford and Franklin Roosevelt to the present, we have labored to wither our cities, simultaneously fouling our air and our landscape, depleting our energy resources to feed our automobiles and neglecting any form of community other than hollow, homogenous suburbs. And yet the average American has a smaller share of the country's wealth than the average European and less opportunity to improve his or her lot. Provocative and enlightening, America's Undeclared War exposes a prejudice both fundamental and destructive to American culture. With a mordant wit and a refreshing clarity, Lazare offers a vision that can re-invigorate us, our communities, and our future.

Quest for Harmony: Native American Spiritual Traditions
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Young, William A., PUBLISHER: Seven Bridges Press, If there were an "endangered religions list" the spiritual traditions of Native American nations would be on it. Fortunately, as "Quest for Harmony" makes very clear, not only are Native American spiritual traditions still very much alive, they are in the midst of a dramatic revival. The four nations on which this richly descriptive and fascinating book focuses---the Lenape (Delaware), Anm-yunm-wiya (Cherokee), Lakota (Sioux), and Dini (Navajo)---bear witness to the reality of Native American culture and its spiritual renewal and continuity amidst change. Each nation's traditional location and present population, the language, and social organization are described. At least one of the stories of origins of the people is presented. A historical survey of the nation, from the earliest documented times until recent decades is also included. The heart of each presentation is an introduction to the nation's spiritual worldview and rituals, including cosmology, and gods and spirits. Quest for Harmony is intended for anyone seeking a basic understanding of the cultures and spiritual teachings of Native American nations. It is sympathetic and respectful, presenting the views of Native Americans in their own voice wherever possible. Critical issues common to Native Americas such as the Pannational spiritual movements and the environment are also covered.
The Constant Gardener
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Le Carre, John, PUBLISHER: Hodder & Stoughton General Division, Now a major motion picture from Fernando Meirelles, the Academy Award-nominated director of "City of God" "The Constant Gardener" is a magnificent exploration of the new world order by one of the most compelling and elegant storytellers of our time. The novel opens in northern Kenya with the gruesome murder of Tessa Quayle--young, beautiful, and dearly beloved to husband Justin. When Justin sets out on a personal odyssey to uncover the mystery of her death, what he finds could make him not only a suspect among his own colleagues, but a target for Tessa's killers as well. A master chronicler of the betrayals of ordinary people caught in political conflict, John le Carre portrays the dark side of unbridled capitalism as only he can. In "The Constant Gardener" he tells a compelling, complex story of a man elevated through tragedy as Justin Quayle--amateur gardener, aging widower, and ineffectual bureaucrat--discovers his own natural resources and the extraordinary courage of the woman he barely had time to love.

No More Tears...: Struggles for Land in Mpumalanga, South
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Levin, Richard / Weiner, Daniel, PUBLISHER: Africa World Press, Three years after South Africa's first nonracial democratic elections, the difficult process of social and economic transformation continues. About one-half of South Africa's 41 million people -- and two-thirds of the African population -- still live in deep poverty. Eight million live in shacks. Land hunger is widespread. Land dispossession caused by colonialism's and apartheid's forced removals and alienation of land and water rights lie at the heart of the repressive regime which the national liberation movement struggled against. In South Africa, land and agrarian reform policy is presently being developed as a top-down exercise increasingly informed by a neo-liberal macroeconomic policy orientation. In the book, this elite driven transition is contrasted with a proposed popular program of radical transformation. The specific role of the World Bank is criticized, and the results of a uniquely participatory research and policy development project recently undertaken in the Eastern Transvaal are presented. The book demonstrates why incorporating extensive knowledge that exists in poor rural areas into development of land and reform policies is essential for truly democratic social and economic transformation. This is an important book that will be useful for policy-makers, academics and the general public alike.

Teaching and Its Predicaments
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Burbules, Nicholas C. / Hansen, David T. / *, Editor, PUBLISHER: Westview Press, Teaching is a complex and challenging endeavor. Teachers are continually faced with difficult choices in which competing values are set in tension with one another. The interests of all students, and of other groups and constituencies, can rarely be served at the same time. Different educational goals, each desirable in and of itself, often place incompatible demands on teachers, especially in light of the limited resources and time available to most of them. Of course, teaching does have its satisfactions and fulfillments, but increasingly those rewards must be sought in the context of challenges that reflect the competing expectations society places upon educators.These essays tackle important aspects of the complex, often conflicted contexts of teaching. Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of teaching, offering candid analysis of the difficulties and trade-offs inherent in teaching practice, while suggesting ways to productively address a given conflict. Together, the chapters speak honestly to the realities and challenges of teaching, without downplaying the ideals that draw teachers into education in the first place.

Gods and Heroes in Art
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Impelluso, Lucia / Zuffi, Stefano / Hartmann, Thomas Michael, PUBLISHER: J. Paul Getty Trust Publications, As archetypes of human virtue and vice, the gods and heroes of ancient Greece and Rome have figured prominently in Western culture. In art, they have been portrayed time and time again, especially during the Renaissance, Baroque, and Neoclassical periods. Gods and Heroes in Art aims to help museum patrons and art lovers recognize the legendary characters of classical antiquity in art. The characters are each described in entries summarizing their distinctive stories, their special attributes, and the ways in which artists have depicted them. Each entry is richly illustrated with reproductions of works of art in which the god or hero is pictured, giving readers a chance to examine images of the character and to understand the work of art better. The informative guide first surveys the pantheon of the Greco-Roman world, then focuses on characters from the Trojan War and The Odyssey. The next sections describe kings, philosophers, warriors, and other historical figures. The book concludes with useful indexes, including a list of iconographic symbols associated with the subjects, and a bibliography of essential resources.

A New Introduction to Poverty: The Role of Race, Power and
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Arditti, Joyce / Kushnick, Louis / Jennings, James, PUBLISHER: New York University Press, Since the end of the Second World War, poverty in the United States has been a persistent focus of social anxiety, public debate, and federal policy. This volume argues convincingly that we will not be able to reduce or eliminate poverty until we take the political factors that contribute to its continuation into account. Ideal for course use, A New Introduction to Poverty opens with a historical overview of the major intellectual and political debates surrounding poverty in the United States. Several factors have received inadequate attention: the impact of poverty on women; the synergy of racism and poverty; race and gender stratification of the workplace; and, crucially, the ways in which the powerful use their resources to maintain the economic status quo. Contributors include Mimi Abramovitz, Peter Alcock, Bonnie Thornton Dill, Raymond Franklin, Herman George Jr., Michael B. Katz, Marlene Kim, Rebecca Morales, Sandra Patton, Valerie Polakow, Jackie Pope, Jill Quadagno, David C. Ranney, Barbara Ransby, Bette Woody, and Maxine Baca Zinn.
Ogallala: Water for a Dry Land
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Opie, John, PUBLISHER: University of Nebraska Press, The Ogallala aquifer, a vast store of underground water reserves extending from South Dakota through Texas, is the product of eons of accumulated glacial melts, ancient Rocky Mountain snow melts, and rainfall, all percolating slowly through gravel beds hundreds of feet thick. Irrigation from the aquifer has allowed the High Plains region to prosper, but without revolutionary changes in the management of this resource, the future may bring a return to subsistence conditions. Focusing on the Ogallala aquifer, John Opie vividly portrays the south-central plains--its natural resources, the history of settlement and dryland farming, and the remarkable irrigation technologies that have industrialized farming in the region. He recounts state and local attempts to manage and conserve groundwater and describes the operations, insights, hopes, and fragile future of several families farming on the High Plains. In doing so, he illustrates that the aquifer is not merely a local resource, nor simply a regional treasure: its influence is felt in farming, food, and foreign trade issues at the national and international levels.
Self-Esteem Workbook
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Schiraldi, Glenn R. / McKay, Matthew / Fanning, Patrick, PUBLISHER: New Harbinger Publications, The Self-Esteem Workbook is based on the author's original new research, which has shown that self-esteem can be significantly improved through the use of self-help materials. Now psychologist and health educator Glenn Schiraldi has shaped these tested resources into a comprehensive, self-directed program that guides readers through twenty essential skill-building activities, each focused on developing a crucial component of healthy self-esteem. "This book is excellent. We are already using it in our self-esteem presentations. It's one of the first and finest self-esteem resource guide books that offers in-depth information in a grounded, useful way." -Jaqueline Miller, Maryland Governor's Task Force on Self-Esteem "As a former legislative aide to John Vasconcellos and the Self-Esteem effort, I found the book to be practical and impactful in its suggested activities. It can enlighten the thinking and enrich a person's experience of their own self-esteem." -Andy Michael, aide to Assemblyman John Vasconcellos, California Task Force on Self-Esteem
Foucault and Fiction: The Experience Book
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: O'Leary, Timothy, PUBLISHER: Continuum, Foucault and Fiction develops a unique approach to thinking about the power of literature by drawing upon the often neglected concept of experience in Foucault's work. For Foucault, an 'experience book' is a book which transforms our experience by acting on us in a direct and unsettling way. Timothy O'Leary develops and applies this concept to literary texts. Starting from the premise that works of literature are capable of having a profound effect on their audiences, he suggests a way of understanding how these effects are produced. Offering extended analyses of Irish writers such as Swift, Joyce, Beckett, Friel and Heaney, O'Leary draws on Foucault's concept of experience as well as the work of Dewey, Gadamer, and Deleuze and Guattari. Combining these resources, he proposes a new approach to the ethics of literature. Of interest to readers in both philosophy and literary studies, this book offers new insights into Foucault's mature philosophy and an improved understanding of what it is to read and be affected by a work of fiction.

Biofuel Power of the Future: New Ways of Turning Organic
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hayhurst, Chris, PUBLISHER: Rosen Publishing Group, Easy-to-understand Resources Provide Information on Sustainable Energy for Our Future Many scientists believe that the fossil fuels that make us comfortable also make us sick. This important new series helps kids understand what can be done to create healthy, sustainable energy for the future. Each of the eight titles explains a different type of energy, how it works, and how government and industry are developing new methods to use it so that it is affordable and clean. For readers of these fascinating, easy-to-understand books, turning on the TV or booting up the computer will never be quite the same. Biofuel can be made from many organic materials. Open wood fires like campfires are terribly inefficient and unhealthy, but producing bioenergy from corn, animal waste, and other kinds of natural materials is far safer, more ecological, and great for the economy. Kids will learn in this book why many scientists believe biofuel will provide important energy in the future.
