Gangs and militias have been a persistent feature of social and
political life in Indonesia. During the authoritarian New Order
regime they constituted part of a vast network of sub-contracted
coercion and social control on behalf of the state. Indonesia's
subsequent democratisation has seen gangs adapt to and take
advantage of the changed political context. New types of populist
street based organisations have emerged that combine predatory
rent-seeking with claims of representing marginalised social and
economic groups. Based on extensive fieldwork in Jakarta this book
provides a comprehensive analysis of the changing relationship
between gangs, militias and political power and authority in
post-New Order Indonesia. It argues that gangs and militias have
manufactured various types of legitimacy in consolidating localised
territorial monopolies and protection economies. As mediators
between the informal politics of the street and the world of formal
politics they have become often influential brokers in Indonesia's
decentralised electoral democracy. More than mere criminal
extortion, it is argued that the protection racket as a social
relation of coercion and domination remains a salient feature of
Indonesia's post-authoritarian political landscape. This
ground-breaking study will be of interest to students and scholars
of Indonesian and Southeast Asian politics, political violence,
gangs and urban politics.

The Seven Laws of Teaching by John Milton Gregory Foreword "The
Seven Disciplines of Highly Effective Teachers" by Douglas Wilson
Evaluation Tools and Study Questions by Dr. Larry Stephenson Don't
miss this vital book for teachers For decades, John Milton
Gregory's The Seven Laws of Teaching has been an essential guide
for classical educators everywhere, whether in schools, at home, in
co-ops, or online. You've never seen an edition like this: In 1954,
Baker Book House published a revised edition of the text that
"abridged" much of the Christian content and emphasis: we've
restored The Seven Laws of Teaching to its original 1886 text. Not
only does your Canon Press version give the unabridged first
edition text, but we've also added a number of invaluable tools not
available anywhere else: A powerful forward by Douglas Wilson, "The
Seven Disciplines of Highly Effective Teachers," Study Questions
after each chapter by Dr. Larry Stephenson and five helpful
appendices: Appendix A: List of the Seven Laws of Teaching.
Appendix B: Self-Assessment Tool for Teachers by Dr. Stephenson

Historical Figures
In "Five Cities that Ruled the World," theologian Douglas Wilson
fuses together, in compelling detail, the critical moments birthed
in history's most influential cities --Jerusalem, Athens, Rome,
London, and New York.
Wilson issues a challenge to our collective understanding of
history with the juxtapositions of freedom and its intrinsic
failures; liberty and its deep-seated liabilities. Each revelation
beckoning us deeper into a city's story, its political systems, and
how it flourished and floundered.
You'll discover the significance of:
- Jerusalem's complex history and its deep-rooted character as
the city of freedom, where people found their spiritual
liberty.
- Athens' intellectual influence as the city of reason and
birthplace of democracy.
- Rome's evolution as the city of law and justice and the
freedoms and limitations that come with liberty.
- London's place in the world's history as the city of literature
where man's literary imagination found its wings.
- New York's rise to global fame as the city of commerce and how
it triggered unmatched wealth, industry, and trade throughout the
world.
"Five Cities that Ruled the World" chronicles the destruction,
redemption, personalities, and power structures that altered the
world's political, spiritual, and moral center time and again. It's
an inspiring, enlightening global perspective that encourages
readers to honor our shared history, contribute to the present, and
look to the future with unmistakable hope.
Though most Christians refrain from predicting exactly when our
world will end, many believe that when earth's finale does arrive,
it will be a catastrophe. They expect that before Christ comes back
to reclaim His own, Satan will escape his chains and return to
wreak havoc on our planet. Details vary, but the general assumption
is the same: things will get much, much worse before they get
better.But is this really what the Bible teaches?Leaving aside the
theological terms that often confuse and muddle this question,
Douglas Wilson instead explains eschatology as the end of the
greatest story in the world-the story of mankind. He turns our
attention back to the stories and prophecies of Scripture and
argues for "hopeful optimism": the belief that God will be true to
His promises, that His will shall be done on earth as it is in
heaven, and that the peace and good will we sing about at Christmas
will one day be a reality here on earth.
Fatherlessness is a "rot that is eating away at the modern
soul," writes Douglas Wilson, and the problem goes far beyond
physical absence. "Most of our families are starving for fathers,
even if Dad is around, and there's a huge cost to our children and
our society because of it." "Father Hunger "takes a thoughtful,
timely, richly engaging excursion into our cultural chasm of
absentee fatherhood. Blending leading-edge research with incisive
analysis and real-life examples, Wilson:
- Traces a range of societal ills―from poverty and crime to
joyless feminism and paternalistic government expansion―to a vacuum
of mature masculinity
- Explains the key differences between asserting paternal
authority and reestablishing true spiritual fathering
- Uncovers the corporate-fulfillment fallacy and other mistaken
assumptions that undermine fatherhood
- Extols the benefits of restoring fruitful fathering, from
stronger marriages to greater economic liberty
Filled with practical ideas and self-evaluation tools, "Father
Hunger" both encourages and challenges men to "embrace the high
calling of fatherhood," becoming the dads that their families and
our culture so desperately need them to be.
"Wilson sounds a clarion call among Christian men that is
pointedly biblical, urgently relevant, humorously accessible, and
practically wise." ―Richard D. Phillips, author of "The Masculine
Mandate: God's Calling to Men"
""Father Hunger" illulstrates one of the greatest influences or
lack thereof on the identity of a man: a father. Read a book that
will strike an invisible chord in the lives of men both lost and
found." ―Dr. Eric Mason, pastor of Epiphany Fellowship,
Philadelphia
A blimp that saves souls. A college student who flies. A conflicted
southern preacher in the wake of a local lynching. A mysterious
stranger at a corporate Christmas party who turns water into wine.
Beginning in the late 1950s, Joe Bayly made it his business to
expose the blind spots of American Christianity. How did he do it?
He wrote parables or, as Joe put it, stories on target. And, as it
turns out, he did a pretty good job at it. Here in one collection
are Joe s wisest and funniest stories. These are stories about
sinners, bumblers, fools, and hypocrites. In other words, they are
stories about normal, everyday people. The kind you might find on
the other side of a mirror. And, really, if you re not looking in
the mirror you re missing the point. Not that Joe was mean.
Satirists needn t always be scoffers or cynics. Joe just saw people
the way they were and loved them enough to say so. And he had a
knack for saying so with wit, charm, and a healthy dose of good
humor.
The ERAS (R) Society Handbook for Obstetrics & Gynecology
covers all aspects of enhanced recovery care for disciplines of
general gynecology, gynecologic oncology, urogynecology and
obstetrical surgery. Written by renowned experts in the field,
chapters discuss foundational knowledge on ERAS and provide
specific worked examples, ERAS order sets, and practical
implementation tools. This book is an indispensable resource to
researchers interested in ERAS, but it is also ideal for
anesthesiologists, gynecologists and obstetricians interested in
initiating an ERAS program. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS)
is a global surgical quality improvement initiative that originated
in colorectal surgery and has now spread to numerous other
disciplines, including gynecology (benign and malignant) and
obstetrics (caesarean delivery). ERAS is associated with
improvements in clinical outcomes (reduction in length of hospital
stay, complications, readmissions), cost savings for the healthcare
system, and patient satisfaction, hence the addition of this
comprehensive resource on the topics is a welcomed addition to the
available literature.
