At a particularly urgent world-historical moment, this volume
brings together some of the leading researchers of social movements
and global social change and other emerging scholars and
practitioners to advance new thinking about social movements and
global transformation. Social movements around the world today are
responding to crisis by defying both political and epistemological
borders, offering alternatives to the global capitalist order that
are imperceptible through the modernist lens. Informed by a
world-historical perspective, contributors explain today's
struggles as building upon the experiences of the past while also
coming together globally in ways that are inspiring innovation and
consolidating new thinking about what a fundamentally different,
more equitable, just, and sustainable world order might look like.
This collection offers new insights into contemporary movements for
global justice, challenging readers to appreciate how modernist
thinking both colors our own observations and complicates the work
of activists seeking to resolve inequities and contradictions that
are deeply embedded in Western cultural traditions and
institutions. Contributors consider today's movements in the longue
duree-that is, they ask how Occupy Wall Street, the Arab Spring,
and other contemporary struggles for liberation reflect, build
upon, or diverge from anti-colonial and other emancipatory
struggles of the past. Critical to this volume is its exploration
of how divisions over gender equity and diversity of national
cultures and class have impacted what are increasingly
intersectional global movements. The contributions of feminist and
indigenous movements come to the fore in this collective
exploration of what the movements of yesterday and today can
contribute to our ongoing effort to understand the dynamics of
global transformation in order to help advance a more equitable,
just, and ecologically sustainable world.

The purpose of marketing is to make selling superfluous. That sums
up my philosophy, which I promote as Strategic Marketing. And this
book will start you on your journey to that goal. Even though I
truly believe we are all one or two great marketing ideas away from
more sales opportunities than we can fully imagine, I believe the
first two chapters are as important as the following eight. The
strategies in this book - when strategically implemented with care
- are guaranteed to make you more money with less effort. These are
strategies that have helped businesses just like yours make
hundreds of thousands in additional profits - including your
competitors.
A creature or being out of mankind's most ancient mythos. A concept
that combines all of the unconscious fears that have haunted our
species since its very beginnings. How would this nightmare
manifest in our own day and age? And more importantly, what would
IT be frightened of? The terrifying answers to these and many more
creepy questions can be found in John Manning's chilling anthology,
WHAT SCARES THE BOOGEY MAN?

Here there be New Creatures (Novus Creatura) who will become the
new Frankenstein Monsters and Draculas. Mirroring society, they
reach from within these pages to clutch at your throat, your very
soul. Don't open this collection without first lighting your room
and locking your doors, because the new masters of horror and
fantasy await within these pages to carve their words into your
brain, to share their creatures with you: spider-children and
environmental horrors; gene-spliced monstrosities and black worms;
shadow-people and midnight drivers. All these wait beneath the
fabric of society to crawl into your mind by the turning of the
page.

The Oxford Handbook of Natural Theology is the first collection to
consider the full breadth of natural theology from both historical
and contemporary perspectives and to bring together leading
scholars to offer accessible high-level accounts of the major
themes. The volume embodies and develops the recent revival of
interest in natural theology as a topic of serious critical
engagement. Frequently misunderstood or polemicized, natural
theology is an under-studied yet persistent and pervasive presence
throughout the history of thought about ultimate reality - from the
classical Greek theology of the philosophers to twenty-first
century debates in science and religion. Of interest to students
and scholars from a wide range of disciplines, this authoritative
handbook draws on the very best of contemporary scholarship to
present a critical overview of the subject area. Thirty eight new
essays trace the transformations of natural theology in different
historical and religious contexts, the place of natural theology in
different philosophical traditions and diverse scientific
disciplines, and the various cultural and aesthetic approaches to
natural theology to reveal a rich seam of multi-faceted theological
reflection rooted in human nature and the environments within which
we find ourselves.
