Rene Girard holds up the gospels as mirrors that reveal our broken
humanity, and shows that they also reflect a new reality that can
make us whole. Like Simone Weil, Girard looks at the Bible as a map
of human behavior, and sees Jesus Christ as the turning point
leading to new life.
The title echoes Jesus' words: "I saw Satan falling like
lightning from heaven". Girard persuades us that even as our world
grows increasingly violent the power of the Christ-event is so
great that the evils of scapegoating and sacrifice are being
defeated even now. A new community, God's nonviolent kingdom, is
being realized -- even now.
How was it an entire cultured nation allowed their children to be
raised by a political party with an ideology of hate? Stories of
the fanatical bravery of the young men and children of the Reich on
the battlefields of Europe are abundant.It is easy to admire the
courage of the Hitler Youth as they battled relentlessly against
the Allied and Soviet armies. But when one looks at it in the cold
light of day, one cannot fail to be overwhelmed with the senseless
loss of life. Millions butchered for an old man's nightmare vision
of a world he hated and wanted to see burn. His failure to face the
facts, combined with the Allies demand for unconditional surrender
resulted in an entire generation consumed to the abyss. The
Wehrmacht, the Hitler Youth, the Volkssturm and the children were
all in the end just gristle for the Reich's mill. This book covers
the whole story of a generation of young Germans, from the rebirth
of a Nation to its consignment to the abyss and their role in this
calamity.Includes many photos.
There is an old saying, "There's a WHORE in every woman, but the
right woman never unleashes it." This book borders on the flip side
of Hagar, the concubine of Abraham and how she was put in a
position of being used as whore and then dismissed. The modern day
Hagar runs to the one place where she's told she can receive help.
Here she is told she can be loosed. Here she is told she doesn't
have to hide behind sheets, only to find there is no room for her.
This place is the CHURCH This book is designed for every woman who
carries this pain around inside of her silently pleading, "What
about me?" My question to you dear reader is, "Who will be the
voice for these women?" This book is for the overcoming woman, YOU

Why did the world's strongest power intervene militarily in the
tiny Commonwealth Caribbean island of Grenada in October 1983? This
book focuses on United States-Grenada relations between 1979 and
1983 set against the wider historical context of US-Caribbean Basin
relations. It presents an in-depth study of US policy during the
Carter and Reagan presidencies and the deterioration of relations
with the Marxist-Leninist People's Revolution Government (PRG) of
Grenada. It considers in detail the murderous internal power
struggle that destroyed the PRG and the decisionmaking process that
resulted in a joint US-Caribbean military intervention.
This volume presents a network of social power, indicating that
theories inspired by C.Wright Mills are far more accurate views
about power in America than those of Mills's opponents.
Dr. Domhoff shows how and why coalitions within the power elite
have involved themselves in such policy issues as the Social
Security Act (1935) and the Employment Act (1946), and how the
National Labor Relations Act (1935) could pass against the
opposition of every major corporation. The book descri bes how
experts worked closely with the power elite in shaping the plansfor
a post-World War II world economic order, in good part realized
during the past 30 years. Arguments are advanced that the fat cats
who support the Democrats cannot be understood in terms of narrow
self-interest, and that moderate conservatives dominated
policy-making under Reagan.

Distinguished psychologist G. William Domhoff brings together-for
the first time-all the necessary tools needed to perform
quantitative studies of dream content using the rigorous system
developed by Calvin S. Hall and Robert van de Castle. The book
contains a comprehensive review of the literature, detailed coding
rules, normative findings, and statistical tables.
Plant reproductive biology has undergone a revolution during the
past five years, with the cloning, sequencing and localization of
the genes important in reproduction. These advantages in plant
molecular biology have led to exciting applications in plant
biotechnology, including the genetic engineering of male sterility
and other reproductive processes. This book presents an interesting
and contemporary account of these new developments from the
scientists in whose laboratories they have been made. The chapters
focus on two areas: the molecular biology of self-incompatibility,
which is the system of self-recognition controlled by the S-gene
and related genes; and the cellular and molecular biology of pollen
development and genetic dissection of male sterility. Some chapters
feature Arabidopsis, with its unique genetic system. Reproduction
is vital for seed production in crop plants, and this book presents
new approaches to manipulate plant breeding systems for the 21st
century.
