Kant's 'practical philosophy' comprehends a diverse group of his writings on ethics, politics, law, religion, and the philosophy of history and culture. Kristi E. Sweet demonstrates the unity and interdependence of these writings by showing how they take as their animating principle the human desire for what Kant calls the unconditioned - understood in the context of his practical thought as human freedom. She traces the relationship between this desire for freedom and the multiple forms of finitude that confront human beings in different aspects of practical life, and stresses the interdependence of the pursuit of individual moral goodness and the formation of community through the state, religion, culture and history. This study of Kant's approach to practical life discovers that doing our duty, itself the realization of our individual freedom, requires that we set for ourselves and pursue a whole constellation of social, political and other communal ends.

Aimed at readers of all levels--from student to classics buff to serious scholars--this sourcebook looks at sport and recreation in ancient Greece through translated accounts of ancient Greek and Latin authors. It examines such diversions as the ancient Olympic Games, athletic clothing, women in sports, dining, dancing, and fishing. Sport and Recreation in Ancient Greece offers a wide range of topics geared to students' interests, new translations into readable English that facilitate their introduction to the subject, and a rich assortment of illustrations. The questions following each translation help students understand the passages, while the presentation of contradictory evidence challenges them to evaluate different points of view, both in the study of ancient culture and in their own daily lives. Successfully tested in college classrooms for a ten years, this book provides an excellent springboard for the study of ancient Greek history, classical literature, or sports history.

Gloria Won is truly a celebration of the life of one woman who cherished every breath and lived every moment to the fullest of her ability. Her Christian faith enriched her and enriched the lives of all that knew her. She could not be defeated even in the face of the terrible disease of A. L. S., commonly known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. The author invites you to know her mother and to celebrate her life and to rejoice as she goes to meet her God. "I often say that Christians must not only show one another how to live, but also how to die. Honest and sometimes flatly dispassionate, this chronicling of the life, decline, and triumphant death of a woman of faith does just that. Danice Sweet's tender look at her mother will evoke strong memories in anyone who has ever lost a beloved relative or friend." --Latayne C. Scott, author, The Mormon Mirage, Latter-day Cipher, and The Hinge of Your History: The Phases of Faith.

Artist and songwriter Sweet's delightful children's book features watercolor drawings of her great-nephews on a trip to the zoo. The upbeat theme of the song and illustrations is that God makes everything.

Author, artist, song writer, singer, and art teacher, Danice E. Sweet, has done it again with her third inspirational book, I Will Speak His Name. This time she has added material for personal contemplation and prayer, in addition to her inspiring (usually humorous) stories, songs and illustrations. This book is recommended for use as a personal devotional or with Bible study groups. It could also be used with young adult church groups. Readers will find this treasure chest filled with uplifting, loving, vignettes of contemporary Christian life. This is a wonderful companion volume to Ms. Sweet's earlier publication, Consider It Joy and her beautiful, full-color, illustrated childrens book, Floating Zoo and the Whale Motel (two childrens songs about Noah and the Ark and Jonah and the Whale). The latter has been favorably reviewed by Midwest Book Reviews Childrens Book Watch. CDs of Ms. Sweets a cappella gospel group, Revival, singing the songs in each of her books are available to the reader for no additional cost from a coupon included inside the books.

In the autumn of 2007 more than 100 high school students were asked how they felt about global warming and worldwide environmental destruction. Coached by their award-winning teaching, Michael Sweet, these students responded poignantly through the medium of poetry, fiction, non-fiction and art. Their passionate responses were collected and published as Down to Earth.
Down to Earth features forewords by Canada's First Woman in Space Roberta Bondar and Justin Trudeau son of the legendary Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau.
Down to Earth has received rave reviews from many of Canada's leaders: "Nature has inspired poetry for centuries, and it is clear that it continues to do so today. It is inspiring to see how the students of Lester B. Pearson have responded to the environmental changes we are beginning to witness. There are important lessons here for all of us, especially adults. David Suzuki

"Writing for a cause is exactly what everyone should be doing. And, adolescence is the perfect place to start. It is wonderful that these young people (led by Michael Sweet) are able to burst out of the oppressive peer pressure of self-indulgence that has turned youth into market targets. Their ideas will crystallize and grow through this expression and they will be put to positive use, which will be urgently needed in the coming decades." Robert Bateman
Legendary Canadian Artist and Naturalist
