Are you ready to fight for the gospel?
Since the beginning of Christ's ministry, the gospel of grace
has been under attack. At every turn throughout the ages, people
have sought to change the freeing truth of Jesus' good news into
mindless religious bondage. Today, the battle rages on...
What part will you play in the fight for grace? Is the gospel
that you believe and lead others to believe freeing, or is it
enslaving?
With an in-depth and freeing study of the gospel of grace,
Andrew Nelson asks you to leave your man-made religion at the door
and fight for the grace of God that Jesus so willingly gave His
life to reveal. If you don't do it, who will?
Journey without End chronicles the years-long journey of
extracontinentales-African and South Asian migrants moving through
Latin America toward the United States. Based on five years of
collaborative research between a journalist and an anthropologist,
this book makes an engrossing, sometimes surreal, narrative-driven
critique of how state-level immigration policy fails
extracontinental migrants. The book begins with Kidane, an Eritrean
migrant who has left his pregnant wife behind to make the four-year
trip to North America; it then picks up the natural
disaster-riddled voyage of Roshan and Kamala Dhakal from Nepal to
Ecuador; and it continues to the trials of Cameroonian exile Jane
Mtebe, who becomes trapped in a bizarre beachside resort town on
the edge of the DariEn Gap-the gateway from South to Central
America. Journey without End follows these migrants as their fitful
voyages put them in a semi-permanent state of legal and existential
liminality as mercurial policy creates profit opportunities that
transform migration bottlenecks-Quito's tourist district, a
Colombian beachside resort, Panama's DariEn Gap, and a Mexican
border town-into spontaneous migration-oriented spaces rife with
race, gender, and class exploitation. Even then, migrant solidarity
allows for occasional glimpses of subaltern cosmopolitanism and the
possibility of mobile futures.

While the world's refugee population reaches record high numbers,
countries offering third-country resettlement are increasingly
shifting toward policies of exclusion and austerity. This edited
volume envisions a more humane future for refugee resettlement.
Combining anthropology with a variety of professional perspectives
(education, health care, theology, administration, politics, and
social work) ethnography is used to demonstrate the efficacy of
programs and interventions that create and nurture social capital
in culturally specific and accessible ways. The contributors
present case studies of resettlement in the United States, England,
Australia, and Canada and contend that social networks have an
essential role-are the crux-in the reconfigurations of refugee
well-being, belonging, and place-making vis-a-vis the bureaucratic
limitations of state and institutional factors. This book includes
short contributions from refugees, representatives of resettlement
organizations, and government officials, including Jhuma N.
Acharya, Bimala Bastola, Khada Bhandari, Kiri Hata, Govin Magar,
Madhu Neupane, Natacha Nikokeza, Angela K. Plummer, Lance
Rasbridge, Chris Sunderlin, David Thatcher, and John Tluang.
The case studies provided in Case Studies for Advances in
Paleoimaging will provide the reader with real-world scenarios and
case examples that will help prepare researchers to discover new
ways to apply the various modalities associated with the
technology. This book is a follow-up to the Beckett and Conlogue's
classic work Paleoimaging (2009) and companion to their new
contribution Advances in Paleoimaging (2020). The case studies
outlined demonstrate the problem-solving nature of imaging research
and the application of critical thought to unique problems.
Further, Case Studies for Advances in Paleoimaging demonstrates the
incredible depth of application of these modalities including
photography, endoscopy, x-ray fluorescence, plane radiography,
digital radiography, and advanced imaging modalities like
multi-detector computed tomography, micro-computed tomography, and
magnetic resonance imaging. Of particular note, case study seven,
Contrast Media Injections, informs the researcher regarding methods
to bring out specific anatomic structures that may be the target of
a given research question. Intended for students, faculty, and
seasoned researchers, Case Studies for Advances in Paleoimaging
presents actual cases from the authors' vast experience in the
application of paleoimaging modalities in order to answer unique
research problems. The book also serves as a field manual for
current and future researchers as they approach similar or new
cases that present unique challenges. These cases demonstrate how
the varied imaging methodologies can provide data which greatly
enriches our understanding of the subject at hand, be it ancient
cultural remains, forensic recovery, museum holdings, or other
anthropological and archaeological artifacts.

From Destination Tokyo (1943) to The Battle of the Villa Fiorita
(1965), Delmer Daves was responsible for a unique body of work, but
few filmmakers have been as critically overlooked in existing
scholarly literature. Often regarded as an embodiment of the
self-effacing craftsmanship of classical and post-War Hollywood,
films such as Broken Arrow (1950) and 3:10 to Yuma (1957) reveal a
filmmaker concerned with style as much as sociocultural
significance. As the first comprehensive study of Daves's career,
this collection of essays seeks to deepen our understanding of his
work, and also to problematize existing conceptions of him as a
competent, conventional and even naive studio man.
