Send My Roots Rain: A Spirituality of Justice and Mercy

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: McKenna, Megan, PUBLISHER: Doubleday Religion, Megan McKenna has long been well known in the Catholic community as a writer, speaker, and teacher. In her lectures and writings, McKenna focuses on the central place of storytelling in the spiritual life and on the role of the storyteller as a teacher. She explores the illuminating power of stories, examining both traditional and contemporary tales that are integral parts of Christian, Zen, Jewish, Sufi, Native American, and many other spiritual traditions. "Send My Roots Rain" makes it clear that she is a masterful storyteller and teacher herself. A collection of both previously published and unpublished writings, "Send My Roots Rain" features parables that will lead readers to the discovery of timeless truths. Through engaging tales of love, friendship, freedom, peace, and loss, she brings to light the life-enhancing qualities of having a relationship with God, and shows that spiritual fulfillment can only be found through justice and mercy. Sometimes spare and stark, often richly warm and humorous, and always refreshingly provocative, McKenna's writings transcend particular traditions and practices to reveal the teachings at the heart of all faiths. In the tradition of Merton and Nouwen, McKenna offers a contemporary, progressive perspective on age-old beliefs. "Send My Roots Rain" will attract the many people already familiar with McKenna's writings and teachings, and introduce a fresh and exciting voice to millions of new readers.

Stalking Irish Madness: Searching for the Roots of My

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Tracey, Patrick, PUBLISHER: Bantam, In this powerful, sometimes harrowing, deeply felt story, Patrick Tracey journeys to Ireland to track the origin and solve the mystery of his Irish-American family's multigenerational struggle with schizophrenia. For most Irish Americans, a trip to Ireland is often an occasion to revisit their family's roots. But for Patrick Tracey, the lure of his ancestral home is a much more powerful need: part pilgrimage, part investigation to confront the genealogical mystery of schizophrenia-a disease that had claimed a great-great-great-grandmother, a grandmother, an uncle, and, most recently, two sisters. As long as Tracey could remember, schizophrenia ran on his mother's side, seldom spoken of outright but impossible to ignore. Devastated by the emotional toll the disease had already taken on his family, terrified of passing it on to any children he might have, and inspired by the recent discovery of the first genetic link to schizophrenia, Tracey followed his genealogical trail from Boston to Ireland's county Roscommon, home of his oldest-known schizophrenic ancestor. In a renovated camper, Tracey crossed the Emerald Isle to investigate the country that, until the s, had the world's highest rate of institutionalization for mental illness, following clues and separating fact from fiction in the legendary relationship the Irish have had with madness. Tracey's path leads from fairy mounds and ancient caverns still shrouded in superstition to old pubs whose colorful inhabitants are a treasure trove of local lore. He visits the massive and grim asylum where his famine starved ancestors may have lived. And he interviews the Irish research team that first cracked the schizophrenic code to learn how much-and how little-we know about this often misunderstood disease. Filled with history, science, and lore, Stalking Irish Madness is an unforgettable chronicle of one man's attempt to make sense of his family's past and to find hope for the future of schizophrenic patients.

Roots of North Indian Shi'ism in Iran and Iraq: Religion and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Cole, Juan / Cole, J. R. I., PUBLISHER: University of California Press, In this pioneering study of the Twelver Shi'i branch of Islam prevalent in Iraq and Iran, J. R. I. Cole traces the influence of Shi'i rule on the development of religious communalism and conflict in the North Indian State of Awadh (Oudh). He also examines the relationship of the Shi'i clergy to the state and the clerical reaction to British imperialism and capitalism. Based on research in rare manuscripts and in archives, the book reveals that the Shi'i clergy advocated policies that caused resentment among Sunnis and Hindus, thereby promoting religious communalism and setting the stage for modern communal conflict. The Shi'i learned men took government posts in support of Awadh's Shi'i nawabs and shahs; Awadh state support, in turn, helped transform Shi'ism from a persecuted "sect" to a dominant, if still minority, religious establishment. Sociologically, the book draws attention to the specific role of the state in defining "sect" and "church." It also argues the importance of class divisions within the Shi'i community, showing that the dominant clerical ideology was often not accepted by the laboring strata. Cole's study supports the view that Muslim communalism in Northern India had genuine historical roots and was not simply an elite strategy of modern Muslim politicians. Contrary to the arguments of some writers and to the image projected by Iran's current ayatullahs, he claims that most Shi'i clergy did not play a role of opposition to the state.

Student Handbook of Criminal Justice and Criminology

Edited by Muncie and Wilson. Great book for students studying criminology and / or criminal justice. Used it a lot in the summer before I started university and in my first year and did reference it in the second year. Gave a good overview of topics. At the end of each chapter there is seminar discussion questions, these were useful to ponder myself and write my answers down, it did help to clarify what I had read and make sure I'd understood it. Was also very helpful to apply what I learnt / read to situation - a key skill for graduates. Acceptable condition. No highlighting or annotating, however there are a couple of pen dots beside things I wanted to remember or copy (refer to picture). There is general wear on the spine. There is a small mark on the top of pages - I think it was from a fly or insect, it looks like I'd slammed the book shut on something small (please refer to picture). It's not over the text (it's right at the top), but want to give a good description of the condition. It has a general 'feel' of being second hand, and this is reflected in asking price. Item description: Written by some of the leading criminologists in the country, this new title is a 'one-stop shop' for those who teach, study or are interested in criminology and the criminal justice systems of the UK. RRP: £ Please note postage and packaging is at buyers expense. I am selling several criminology textbooks and can post several at once. Read More

The Key to My Neighbor's House: Seeking Justice in Bosnia

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Neuffer, Elizabeth, PUBLISHER: Picador USA, Examining competing notions of justice in Bosnia and Rwanda, award-winning "Boston Globe" correspondent Elizabeth Neuffer convinces readers that crimes against humanity cannot be resolved by talk of forgiveness, or through the more common recourse to forgetfulness As genocidal warfare engulfed the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, the international community acted too late to prevent unconscionable violations of human rights in both countries. As these states now attempt to reconstruct their national identities, the surviving victims of genocide struggle to come to terms with a world unhinged. Interviewing victims and aggressors, war orphans and war criminals, Serbian militiamen and NATO commanders, Neuffer explores the extent to which genocide erodes a nation's social and political environment, just as it destroys the individual lives of the aggressor's perceived enemies. She argues persuasively that only by achieving justice for these people can domestic and international organizations hope to achieve lasting peace in regions destroyed by fratricidal warfare.
