Stories from the Street is a theological exploration of interviews
with men and women who had experienced homelessness at some stage
in their lives. Framed within a theology of story and a theology of
liberation, Nixon suggests that story is not only a vehicle for
creating human transformation but it is one of God's chosen means
of effecting change. Short biographies of twelve characters are
examined under themes including: crises in health and
relationships, self-harm and suicide, anger and pain, God and the
Bible. Expanding the existing literature of contextual theology,
this book provides an alternative focus to a church-shaped mission
by advocating with, and for, a very marginal group; suggesting that
their experiences have much to teach the church. Churches are
perceived as being active in terms of pastoral work, but reluctant
to ask more profound questions about why homelessness exists at
all. A theology of homelessness suggests not just a God of the
homeless, but a homeless God, who shares stories and provides hope.
Engaging with contemporary political and cultural debates about
poverty, housing and public spending, Nixon presents a unique
theological exploration of homeless people, suffering, hope and the
human condition.

This book is a theological reflection about the process and event
of Brexit: Britain's departure from the European Union. Within a
framework of liberation and postmodern theology, it examines Brexit
against a history of the EU, with themes of community, identity,
marriage, and divorce. It considers the emotional reactions which
have been generated, and places Brexit in the context of
contemporary populism and the politics of the United States. The
book concludes with a call for reconciliation via new imaginaries
of solidarity and inclusion.

In 1984 President Ronald Reagan gave NASA the go-ahead to build a
Space Station. A generation later, the International Space Station
is an established and highly successful research centre in Earth
orbit. The history of this extraordinary project is a complex weave
of powerful threads - political, diplomatic, financial and
technological among them - but none is more fascinating than the
story of its design. This book provides the first comprehensive
account of the Station's conception, design, development and
assembly in space. It begins in 1979 with early NASA concepts based
on the use of the Space Shuttle and ends with the final Space
Shuttle mission in 2011. As a highly accessible chronicle of a
complex piece of design and engineering, it is a book that will
appeal to readers far beyond the space field.
