Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Jesus told his disciples to go to a town and to find someone who
would receive them as a guest. They were encouraged to eat within
the community, build friendships, make contacts and teach the
gospel. In this exciting book, Andrew Francis urges us to notice
the order. The disciples were to seek the welfare of others by
praying for and healing them - in other words, by meeting their
obvious needs. It was only then that teaching and telling about the
'reign of God' would begin. This was Jesus' strategy for mission.
Andrew Francis suggests that it should be ours today.
How you eat affects the planet - and everyone else on it. What you
eat might literally cost the earth. It also has implications for
your health, for the grower or producer, and for the way you think
about the world. What in God's Name Are You Eating? faces what many
of us choose to ignore in the Western world: we, as adults, have
allowed a childlike innocence to mask the real cost of the
environment in which we are cocooned, while thousands elsewhere
find themselves drought-stricken and starving. 'What in God's name
are they not eating?' 'Enough' is the simple answer and we are part
of the reason why. The price of 'life', as we know it, is high. To
those of us who have 'life', there is a moral imperative to enable
others to share it rather than suppress them. With its advocacy of
a globally responsibly discipleship, What in God's Name Are You
Eating? enables us to see how the world's peoples can have life and
a long future. While the reflection is rooted in radical Mennonite
Christianity, the challenge is to those of faith - and those of
none.
This book is a study of the treatment of New Zealand’s
German-speaking settlers during the course of the Great War. As
with Britain’s other dominions, New Zealand’s German and
Austro-Hungarian residents were subject to a raft of legislation
which placed restrictions on their employment and activities, while
those considered a danger to domestic security found themselves
interned for the duration of the conflict. This book examines
public, press and political responses to their presence, and
describes how patriotic associations, trade organizations,
xenophobic politicians and journalists undertook a vigorous
anti-alien campaign resulting, in a number of instances, in
anti-German riots. Central to this book is an examination of the
extent to which proimperial sentiment, concepts of citizenship and
national identity, increasing European settlement and a
progressively volatile European scene set the tone for the manner
with which the dominion’s British settlers treated its enemy
alien counterparts. Themes discussed include the public’s
reaction to war; the government’s internment policy; the
establishment of anti-German trade organizations; and the
challenges facing Prime Minister William Massey, whose wish to
remain fair and just towards enemy aliens often brought him into
direct conflict with the more hostile anti-German elements within
New Zealand society.
Following significant changes in the legal profession since the
1980s, how do new organizational forms and actors at the edge of
the law impact upon our understanding of the changing nature of the
core values of mainstream legal professionalism? This
methodological approach brings together a series of case studies
built on original empirical research and focuses on those operating
at the margins of legal professionalism in England and Wales. Also
including comparative material on the US and Canada, the issues
discussed are relevant for common law countries more generally and
the analysis reveals the ways in which an increasingly fluid,
fragmented and heterogeneous legal profession is responding to the
challenges it faces in the early twenty-first century.
Paganism has often looked to forest groves or mountain tops for
inspiration and spiritual transformation. Deep Blue plunges deep
into sacred waters through thirteen essays by leading writers in
the expanding academic field of nature religion. Amongst others,
the book will be of interest to nature religion academics,
environmental researchers and activists, as well as practitioners
and students of paganism and religion, faith and spirituality
studies and those involved in the intersection between religion and
ecology. From anthropologic and mythological understandings of
archetypal mind structure, through to sociological and
psychological levels of analysis, academic theory and inquiry are
blended with grounded accounts of experience and understanding from
writers spiritually connected with water. The book aims to explore
dimensions of the human spiritual relationship with river, sea and
pool with a view to developing further understandings of the
interrelationships between spiritual practice, academic nature
religion discourse and environmental concern. Ancestral cultures
invest watery places with spiritual power. With this deep
connection comes respect, understanding and sustainable
relationship. Deep Blue reconnects contemporary Western culture to
these roots, exposing the vital significance of salt and fresh
waters to humankind and making a call to arms for the development
of holistic, sustainable relationships with waterways.

students of paganism and religion, environmental researchers and
activists, and all those involved in the intersection between

During the 20th century, catatonia all but dropped off the agenda
of mainstream psychiatric research. However, several dedicated
research groups, represented in this volume, continued to report
original data highlighting catatonia as a relevant and ideal
subject for clinical study. This book, which exemplifies the
unparalleled breadth of the knowledge gained, will benefit
clinicians managing catatonic phenomena as well as researchers
interested in pursuing further investigations.
This book covers in great detail the psychopathology and
neurobiology of catatonia, focusing on the history, epidemiology,
etiology, diagnosis and treatment of the disorder. This
comprehensive volume Offers a wide representation of the historical
and worldwide literature on the many variants of catatonia in a
single, well-organized text. Includes work presented by the
original investigators, many of whom work outside the United States
and have had their previous studies published only in non-English
journals. Covers alternative opinions and perspectives on
catatonia, contributing novel and illuminating perspectives on the
syndrome. Addresses areas of controversy& mdash;including
disagreements over treatment and the nosologic status of
catatonia& mdash;head-on, in a balanced, evidence-based
presentation. Balances practical clinical material with the
underlying neurobiology, presenting clinical aspects in the context
of history, epidemiology, cross-cultural perspectives, and
neurobiological findings and highlighting the richness and
intellectual attraction of the study of the disorder.
"Catatonia" is unique in offering a diverse, international
group of contributors and such a comprehensive, up-to-datereview of
the clinical and scientific literature, spanning the breadth of
contemporary understanding about the nature, meaning, and
importance of the syndrome.
