Same-Sex Marriage and Religious Liberty explores the religious
freedom implications of defining marriage to include same-sex
couples. It represents the only comprehensive, scholarly appraisal
to date of the church-state conflicts virtually certain to arise
from the legal recognition of same-sex marriage. It explores two
principal questions. First, exactly what kind of religious freedom
conflicts are likely to emerge if society embraces same-sex
marriage? A redefinition of marriage would impact a host of laws
where marital status affects legal rights-in housing, employment,
health-care, education, public accommodations, and property, in
addition to family law. These laws, in turn, regulate a host of
religious institutions-schools, hospitals, and social service
providers, to name a few-that often embrace a different definition
of marriage. As a result, church-state conflicts will follow. This
volume anticipates where and how these manifold disputes will
arise. Second, how might these conflicts be resolved? If the
disputes spark litigation under the Free Speech, Free Exercise, or
Establishment Clauses of the First Amendment, who will prevail and
why? When, if ever, should claims of religious liberty prevail over
claims of sexual liberty? Drawing on experience in analogous areas
of law, the volume explores whether it is possible to avoid these
constitutional conflicts by statutory accommodation, or by
separating religious marriage from civil marriage.
In his exceptionally thought-provoking and moving memoir,
neurosurgeon Joseph D. Stern explores how personal loss influences
the way physicians relate to patients and their families. How does
a doctor who deals with the death of patients on a regular basis
confront his own loss when his beloved family member is living out
her last days? Despite a career as a neurosurgeon, Joseph Stern
learned more about the nature of illness and death after his
younger sister Victoria developed leukemia than his formal medical
training ever taught him. Her death broke down the self-protective
barriers he had built to perform his job and led to a profound
shift in his approach to medicine. During the year of her illness,
Dr. Stern developed a greater awareness of the needs of patients
and their families; of the burdens they carry; of the importance of
connection, communication, and gratitude; and of what it means to
ask the right questions. Grief Connects Us intimately explores the
impact of personal loss on physicians and the ways in which they
integrate it into their professional lives, providing a blueprint
for change that places compassion and empathy at the centre of the
practice of medicine.
At first glance, Orthodox Judaism is not compatible with the
prevailing world view of equal treatment for all people, regardless
of their race, gender or religion. But modern Orthodox Jews share
the sense that egalitarianism is a positive moral value, so they
cannot simply dismiss this contemporary ethos as incompatible with
their faith. In a range of ways and variety of perspectives from
the leading Orthodox scholars in the field, this collection of
essays explores the affinities and disaffinities between
egalitarianism and Jewish tradition.

Looking at infrastructure in the context of project development,
this book examines existing infrastructure -- how it was built and
paid for -- to illuminate the tools being used to fund and finance
these investments as well as the shape they are taking. Eight case
studies that highlight the infrastructure for redevelopment efforts
from across the country are featured. As American suburbs build in
more compact ways -- with higher-density development clustered in
nodes or along corridors, and with increasing options for getting
around without a car -- reworking or rethinking infrastructure can
be essential and this book fills that information gap.
Career Academies explains the unique design and functioning of the
career academy--a vigorous school-within-a-school that focuses on
career preparation--and shows how it goes beyond traditional
vocational programs to integrate academic and vocational
curriculum, raise student ambitions, increase career options, and
provide a meaningful learning context for both potential dropouts
and college-bound youth.This book provides step-by-step guidance
for setting up career academies. It offers advice on handling
staffing, budgeting, student selection, and parent involvement. It
explains how to build effective school-business partnerships by
using employers as curriculum advisers, speakers, field trip hosts,
and student job supervisors.
Grow your company and add to the bottom line without increasing
your sales staff or operating costs.
