In this sparkling romance, two professors with a complicated
past get a second chance to prove history won't repeat itself.
Assistant professor Clara Fernsby is nothing if not driven. She's
wanted to teach history since she was fourteen, and she hasn't let
anything stand in her way-not even the love of her life. And it all
paid off in the end, because she landed a well-paid position at a
private liberal arts college fresh out of grad school, and this year,
she's finally up for tenure.
When Theodore Harrison is brought on for the fall semester as a
visiting scholar, it's an unexpected blast from Clara's past. She
hasn't spoken to Teddy since rejecting him over a phone call ten years
ago. Now that he's here, she's reminded of their time together at every
turn: autumns spent at a sleepaway camp in the Blue Ridge Mountains,
trading battered history books and burned CDs with the quiet,
dark-haired boy she once fell in love with.
That boy might've been her best friend, but the man teaching HIST-322
is a total stranger-or so she thinks. As they spend evenings working on
a shared project and brainstorming over drinks at a college bar, Clara
realizes she's at risk of falling all over again. Given their history,
she knows there's every chance he's not interested. But history's all
down to interpretation, and this time around, she's got no intentions
of repeating it.

The Complete Gospels is the first publication ever to collect the
canonical gospels and their extracanonical counterpoints under one
cover. The selected extracanonical gospels date from the first and
second centuries, are independent of the canonical gospels, and
significantly contribute to our understanding of the developments
in the Jesus tradition leading up to and surrounding the New
Testament gospels. Two additional texts, the Gospel of Judas and
the Gospel of the Savior, and a new text of Q are found in this
fourth edition. Each gospel begins with an introduction that sets
the text in its ancient and historical contexts and discusses the
overall structure and central themes. Cross references point out
the numerous parallel passages, intratextual indicators, and
thematic parallels so the reader can see how the individual
passages of a gospel fit into the rich tapestry of Jewish and early
Christian texts. Notes explain important translation issues, supply
necessary background information, offer guidance to difficult
passages, and honestly indicate problems in the text or in our
understanding of them. This volume is the premier publication of
the Scholars Version translation of the gospels a fresh translation
from the original languages into living American English that is
entirely free of ecclesiastical control. The Scholars Version
intentionally drops the pretense that academics have all the
answers. It strives to avoid both talking down, and over the heads
of readers. The goal is to make these fascinating texts
intelligible and inviting to all who want to study them.

Economic development requires secure contract enforcement and
stable property rights. Normal majority-rule politics, such as
bargaining over distributive and monetary policies, generate
instability and frequently undermine economic development. Above
Politics argues that bureaucracies can contribute to stability and
economic development, but only if they are insulated from unstable
politics. A separation-of-powers stalemate creates the conditions
for bureaucratic autonomy. But what keeps delegated bureaucrats
from being more abusive as they become more autonomous? One answer
is the negotiation of long-term, cooperative relationships - that
(when successful) typically bind subordinates to provide more
effort in exchange for autonomy. Even more compelling is
professionalism, which embeds its professional practitioners in
professional norms and culture, and incidentally mitigates
corruption. Financial examples are provided throughout the book,
which ends with an analysis of the role played by professionalized
bureaucracies during the Great Recession.
Against a stark backdrop of territorial Arizona, a veteran fleeing
his past tries to outrun his destiny. Caught between nightmares of
past battles and visions of the future, Royal Healey is hired as
the marshal of a small town. His new life provides Royal with
happiness he can't quite accept. When the town is afflicted by
tragic events, Royal pursues a truth so dark and sinister it
threatens to destroy him. Sparse but lyrical in style, this is a
classic tale of opposing forces. Individual choices collide with
fate; past, future and present commingle; chaos evolves into darker
order. Themes of divisiveness and connectedness; fratricide and
patricide; and unnatural love give this small novel a vast and
compelling scope.
