The astonishing story of Dr. Josephine Janina Mehlberg--a Jewish
mathematician who saved thousands of lives in Nazi-occupied Poland
by masquerading as a Polish aristocrat--drawing on Mehlberg's own
unpublished memoir. World War II and the Holocaust have given rise
to many stories of resistance and rescue, but The Counterfeit
Countess is unique. It tells the remarkable, unknown story of
"Countess Janina Suchodolska," a Jewish woman who rescued more than
10,000 Poles imprisoned by Poland's Nazi occupiers. Mehlberg
operated in Lublin, Poland, headquarters of Aktion Reinhard, the SS
operation that murdered 1.7 million Jews in occupied Poland. Using
the identity papers of a Polish aristocrat, she worked as a welfare
official while also serving in the Polish resistance. With guile,
cajolery, and steely persistence, the "Countess" persuaded SS
officials to release thousands of Poles from the Majdanek
concentration camp. She won permission to deliver food and
medicine--even decorated Christmas trees--for thousands more of the
camp's prisoners. At the same time, she personally smuggled
supplies and messages to resistance fighters imprisoned at
Majdanek, where 63,000 Jews were murdered in gas chambers and
shooting pits. Incredibly, she eluded detection, and ultimately
survived the war and emigrated to the US. Drawing on the manuscript
of Mehlberg's own unpublished memoir, supplemented with prodigious
research, Elizabeth White and Joanna Sliwa, professional historians
and Holocaust experts, have uncovered the full story of this
remarkable woman. They interweave Mehlberg's sometimes harrowing
personal testimony with broader historical narrative. Like The
Light of Days, Schindler's List, and Irena's Children, The
Counterfeit Countess is an unforgettable account of inspiring
courage in the face of unspeakable cruelty.
This ground-breaking book provides an in-depth analysis of the
theory and practice of sports chaplaincy in a global context.
Written in an accessible style, yet based on academic evidence and
theory, the contributors include those leading major national
chaplaincy organisations located in the UK, US, Australia and
Continental Europe, as well as chaplains and sport psychologists
working in elite and amateur sport and those involved in teaching
pastoral theology. Providing a rich and informative source of
knowledge and inspiration for practitioners, athletes, academics
and those interested in the general relationship between sport and
faith, contributors also address the provision of sports chaplaincy
at sporting mega-events, including the Olympic Games. This much
needed overview of chaplaincy provision in sport across a range of
national and international contexts and settings, including both
catholic and protestant perspectives, is the first collection of
its kind to bring together leading scholars in sports chaplaincy
with a view to providing professional accreditation and training
amidst the fast-emerging field of sports theology.
Systemically Treating Autism provides a unique resource for family
therapists and other mental health professionals who want to
increase their understanding of families with children with autism
spectrum disorder (ASD). Through a combination of research,
practical interventions, and case vignettes, this text covers the
diagnosis of ASD, how ASD impacts the family, systemic theories
that can be used when treating families with children with ASD,
spirituality and cultural dynamics, and collaboration with other
professionals. Providing a systemic framework for conceptualizing a
diagnosis that is typically discussed from an individual
perspective, this book guides mental health clinicians toward a
better understanding of how they can help the entire family unit.
This comprehensive volume explores the interface between sport and
religion, or more broadly, sport and spirituality. While most of
the contributions come from Western and Christian traditions, the
volume raises broader questions about the kinds of impact that
spirituality can and should have on sport, and equally, that sport
can and should have on spirituality. The authors put forth an
anti-dualistic message, one that argues against any vision of sport
and religion existing in separate domains. Mind interpenetrates
body, faith and love interpenetrate competition, spirituality and
the Divine can interpenetrate secular games. This positive book has
powerful implications for reforming contemporary sport,
particularly crass, extrinsically-driven, win-at-all-cost versions
of competition. It is a book about the incarnation, the paradoxical
existence of the spirit in the flesh, love in competition, the
myth-making power and meaning of games to engage the world,
transcendent hope found in kicking a ball around, and how sport as
a liturgy can mediate divine presence. This book was originally
published as a special issue of the journal Sport, Ethics and
Philosophy.

In the rural immigrant community of Istanbul, poor women spend up
to fifty hours a week producing goods for export, yet deny that
they actually 'work'. Money Makes Us Relatives asks why Turkish
society devalues women's work, concealing its existence while
creating a vast pool of cheap labor for the world market. Drawing
on two years of ethnographic fieldwork among family producers and
pieceworkers, and using fascinating case studies throughout, Jenny
B. White shows how women's paid work is viewed in terms of kinship
relations of reciprocity and obligation - an extension of domestic
work for the family, which is culturally valued but poorly
compensated. Whilst offering the benefits of social identity and
long-term security, women's work also reflects global capitalism's
ability to capture local cultural norms, and to use these to lower
production costs and create exploitative conditions.
This fully revised second edition includes a new introduction and
conclusion, updated references, comparative material on women's
labor elsewhere in the world, and brand new material on Islam,
globalization, gender and Turkish family life. It is an important
contribution to debates about women's participation in late global
capitalism.

Between 1917 and 1919 women enlisted in the Women's Land Army, a
national organisation with the task of increasing domestic food
production. Behind the scenes organisers laboured to not only
recruit an army of women workers, but to also dispel public fears
that Britain's Land Girls would be defeminized and devalued by
their wartime experiences.

The departmentalism of American universities has doubtless much to
recommend it. It indicates that exuberance is not a sufficient sub
stitute for scholarship, that, for better or for worse, every
scholar today must be something of a specialist. But when any great
writer and great thinker reaches out and grasps the whole of human
life, the study of his work transcends specialization. And while
exuberance may not replace scholarship, it may accompany it. Most
of my work has been done in the history of political philosophy. I
have dared to overstep departmental boundaries, because I believe
that Shakespeare has something to say to political philosophy. I am
not the first to express this view. Whether I express it well or
badly, I shall not be the last. I want to thank Leo Strauss, my
teacher. He has read the manus cript and given me the benefit of
his insight and judgment. I want to thank Richard Kennington, who
has taken so much time from his own work to comment meticulously
and constructively on this work as on other things I have written.
His help has been generous, and my appreciation is deep. I must, in
particular, thank my colleague, Adolph Lowe. He has perused this
study, much of it in several versions. Through long walks in
Manchester, Vermont, we have discussed my work and his comments.
Usually his comments have been compelling. I can regret only that I
am completely unqualified to reciprocate."
It was probably Rousseau who first thought of dreams as ennobling
experiences. Anyone who has ever read Reveries du Promeneur
Solitaire must be struck by the dreamlike quality of Rousseau's
meditations. This dreamlike quality is still with us, and those who
experience it find themselves ennobled by it. Witness Martin Luther
King's famous "1 have a dream. " Dreaming and inspiration raise the
artist to the top rung in the ladder ofhuman relations. That is
probably the prevailing view among educated people of our time.
Rousseau made that view respectable and predominant. Yet in another
sense, the problem is much older. It is the problem of political
philosophy and poetry, the problem of Socrates and Aristophanes, of
Plato and Homer. Yet, while antiquity usually gives the crown to
philosophy, since Rous seau, the alternative view tends to prevail.
The distinction is not, however, a formal one. Sir Philip Sidney
enlisted Plato on the side of poetry. The true distinction is
between imagination and reason. If reason is to rule, as Aristotle
points out, l the most architectonic of the sciences, that is
political science, should rule. It is political philosophy which
must determine the nature of the arts which will help or which will
hinder the good of the city or the polity. That does not mean that
a mere professor should stand in judgment of Shake speare, Bacon,
and Rembrandt. It means that ifhe studies these three great
artists, he is not over-stepping disciplinary limits."

A fantastic niche, psychic espionage. Think Legion season one meets
The Men Who Stare at Goats, or the X-Men in the X-Files. A must
read for anyone who loves a good laugh, a great read, and
implausible but completely engaging characters.
