Beginning Ministry Together is about the transition period between
the announcement that one pastor is leaving and the time when
another pastor is well settled. The message brought by Roy Oswald
and colleagues Jim and Ann Heath is that this is not an impossible
time to be survived only with a lot of expert help. Rather, even
though the task is complex, committed congregational leaders can
handle it with the help of people who have been on this journey
before. Oswald describes how clergy and congregations can better
end and begin pastorates. He shows them how to say good-bye and
discern their needs for the future how to use the open space
between pastorates for evaluation and preparation for a new day."

A breathtaking collection of work celebrating 125 years of San
Francisco's legendary museum The de Young is San Francisco's oldest
art museum, treasured in a unique verdant setting. Beginning as the
Golden Gate Park Memorial Museum in 1895, the museum has been a
valued center of world art and culture, serving the Bay Area and,
increasingly, national and international visitors and scholars. A
city museum since 1924, it joined the Legion of Honor in 1972 to
become part of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, together
preserving and exhibiting the most widely inclusive art collections
in the city. Over the years, the de Young buildings changed in
telling ways, transforming to protect and present a continuously
expanding array of objects and their histories. Published to mark
the 125th anniversary of the de Young, this volume offers a new
path to artworks from across its departmental disciplines: art from
Africa, Oceania, and the Americas; American art; contemporary art
and programming; costume and textiles; and works on paper. Poetic
themes, curatorial insights, brief institutional histories, and an
expanded historical timeline are accompanied by lavish new
photography, presenting this beloved museum to audiences today. de
Young 125 features a selection of 125 works from around the world
that span more than two millennia and convey a shared human
experience and creative achievement.
Provides the most up-to-date information on transgender science and
its applications, for gender-diverse people, their supporters, and
the professionals who assist them to lead healthy, happy, and
successful lives. The number of people presenting at gender clinics
worldwide for assistance has increased exponentially in the last
decade. Transgender people also have become much more prominent in
the media. An increase in political populism, however, has brought
unprecedented attacks on trans* people. Covering a wealth of topics
relevant to transgender people and their supporters, both social
and professional, Heath and Wynne help readers to see through the
flawed arguments of those who wish to inflict damage on the trans*
community. The content of this book ranges from theoretical ideas
about the origin of gender diversity to practical solutions for
trans* people to enjoy life in their chosen gender. Physical health
topics include hormone therapy, puberty blockers, breast
augmentation/reduction, gender confirmation surgery, and speech
therapy. Mental health topics include dealing with discrimination,
bullying, and transphobia. The text is presented so that it can be
understood with no scientific background, but is also highly
relevant to the health professional. Copious footnotes and
references allow those wishing to delve more deeply into the topics
to do so easily. The book is also supported by readily accessible
resources available online and on social media. Covers the full
spectrum of current knowledge on trans* health and issues Surveys
transgender history and defines transgender terminology Addresses
new developments for young and elder transgender people Includes
copious footnotes and references Lists further resources available
online and on social media
People born with one gender's sexual organs who are drawn
physically, psychologically, and spiritually to life as a member of
the opposite gender, are more common than is generally realized. In
this unprecedented book, Heath introduces the transsexual mindset,
explaining how identity discord develops and what the most recent
research shows about a potential biological basis. She details the
history of transsexuality, the psychological, social, and family
issues transsexuals face, and the associated legal and human rights
issues. Diagrams depicting the major elements in Gender
Reassignment Surgery are included, as are explanations of the
physiological and psychological effects of hormone therapy and
associated procedures for transsexuals, their outcomes, and
potential complications. Appendices offer lists of support groups
and other resources for transsexual men, women, and family members,
a link to a list of surgeons worldwide performing GRS, and a
glossary of terms. When the movie Transamerica—about a
pre-operative man in the week before he became a woman—won two
Golden Globe Awards and was nominated for an Academy Award in early
2006, cheers went up around the world from the real and growing
transsexual community. In fact, people born with one gender's
sexual organs who are drawn physically, psychologically, and
spiritually to life as a member of the opposite gender, are more
common than is generally realized. Gender reassignment surgery is
being performed worldwide, from Beverly Hills to New York, and from
Canada to England, Switzerland, Australia, Thailand and Hong Kong.
In this unprecedented book, Professor Heath introduces the
transsexual mindset, explaining how identity discord develops and
what the most recent research shows about a potential biological
basis. She details the history of transsexuality, the
psychological, social, and family issues transsexuals face, and the
associated legal and human rights issues. Diagrams depicting the
major elements in Gender Reassignment Surgery are included, as are
explanations of the physiological and psychological effects of
hormone therapy and associated procedures for transsexuals, their
outcomes, and potential complications. The book covers pioneers in
gender reassignment such as sexologist Harry Benjamin, M.D., and
famous transsexed people including Christine Jorgenson, who made
headlines worldwide in 1952 and 1953. Appendices offer lists of
support groups and other resources for transsexual men, women, and
family members, a link to a list of surgeons worldwide performing
GRS, a glossary of transsexed terms, and a summary of the Harry
Benjamin Gender Dysphoria Association, the largest international
organization focused on transsexuality.
Premodern architecture and built environments were fluid spaces
whose configurations and meanings were constantly adapting and
changing. The production of transitory meaning transpired whenever
a body or object moved through these dynamic spaces. Whether
spanning the short duration of a procession or the centuries of a
building's longue duree, a body or object in motion created
in-the-moment narratives that unfolded through time and space. The
authors in this volume forge new approaches to architectural
studies by focusing on the interaction between monuments, artworks,
and their viewers at different points in space and time.

In our restless, confused society, there is a yearning for a
connection to the land; for the sound of the human voice; for
simple, natural truth. Cowboy poetry, says the Portland Oregonian,
"is sort of like country music: It's straight talk, dealing with
fundamentals, using images that you can touch. . . . In this
beautifully presented book, Anne Heath Widmark has compiled the
works of twelve Western bards who excel at the form. "These twelve
poets, through biographical and photographic portraits and their
own poems, acquaint us with a diverse tradition tied to the rhythms
of land, animals, and seasons. Among the cowboy poets who make up
this book, we meet Wally McRae, a third-generation rancher from
Forsyth, Montana; Paul Zarzyski, a former bronc rider with a
master's in literature; and Linda Hussa, a buckaroo who ranches
with her husband in the "sagebrush corner" of northeastern
California. Their poems ride free over the range of human
experience.
