This classic text in American Philosophy by one of the foremost
figures in American philosophy offers a concise analysis of the
various factors in human nature which go toward forming a religion,
to exhibit the inevitable transformation of religion with the
transformation of knowledge and to direct attention to the
foundation of religion on our apprehension of those permanent
elements by reason of which there is a stable order in the world,
permanent elements apart from which there could be no changing
world.
Daniel was written during a time when God s people were
struggling to discern how to remain faithful, even as their lives
were dominated by the political and cultural forces of the Empire.
Daniel s central themes have remained relevant ever since: the
challenge of remaining loyal to God despite the alternately
seductive and threatening voices of imperial powers; the
indispensability of humility before God; the perpetual problem of
human arrogance and failure to recognize the overarching power of
God; the insatiable and life-denying human thirst for power and
control; and the call to find in God the source of just, joyful and
abundant living. As people today try to make sense of a newly
emerging global reality, Daniel continues to speak an important
word about faithful living. Who truly controls our lives? To what
or whom do we owe ultimate allegiance? To whom do the kingdom, the
power and the glory belong? This book invites readers to consider
the questions that Daniel raises and then live out the answers.

Demonstrating that it is essential to be sensitive to the cultural
backgrounds of people with dementia in order to provide truly
person-centred care, this book shows that it is possible to create
culturally appropriate outdoor spaces and experiences that resonate
with people with dementia on a fundamental level and are a source
of comfort and wellbeing. Contributors drawn from a variety of
backgrounds describe the significance of nature in the lives of
people with dementia from diverse cultures, faiths, traditions and
geographical locations, providing helpful insights into how access
to the natural world may be achieved within different care
settings. There are contributions from the UK (Scottish island,
urban North East England and Norfolk farming communities), Canada,
Norway, Japan, Australia, Sudan and South Africa, as well as a
chapter on the specific difficulty of providing access to nature
for people with dementia in hospitals. The voices of people with
dementia and their carers are prominent throughout, and the book
also contains evocative poetry and photographs of people with
dementia enjoying nature and the outdoors in different contexts. A
rich source of information and ideas for all those interested in
creating culturally appropriate outdoor spaces and experiences for
people with dementia, including dementia care practitioners,
especially those at managerial level, policy makers, commissioners
and those involved in designing and commissioning buildings and
services.
Fifty years after the Moors Murders and 15 years since Myra Hindley
died in prison, after one of the longest sentences served by a
woman, The Monstering of Myra Hindley raises some delicate and
searching questions.They include: "Why was Hindley treated
differently?", "Why do we need to create demons?" and "What impact
does this have on our whole notion of crime, punishment and
justice?" Set against the political backlash of one of the most
noto-rious cases in English criminal history, this is a perceptive,
first-hand portrayal of the most talked-about and maligned of
women. The Monstering of Myra Hindley is written by one of the
closest people to her, Nina Wilde. Wilde not only sets the record
straight on certain matters, she also provides new insights about
one of the most infamous women in Britain. It contains until now
private information, 'home-truths' and describes a journey charting
a special relationship. Everyone, the author included, recognises
the plight of the victims but this should not be allowed to mask
other wrongs that, with hindsight, become increasingly apparent in
Hindley's case.

From the legendary editor who helped shape modern cookbook
publishing-one of the food world's most admired figures-comes this
evocative and inspiring memoir.
Living in Paris after World War II, Jones broke free of bland
American food and reveled in everyday French culinary delights. On
returning to the States she published Julia Child's "Mastering the
Art of French Cooking." The rest is publishing and gastronomic
history. A new world now opened up to Jones as she discovered, with
her husband Evan, the delights of American food, publishing some of
the premier culinary luminaries of the twentieth century: from
Julia Child, James Beard, and M.F.K. Fisher to Claudia Roden, Edna
Lewis, and Lidia Bastianich. Here also are fifty of Jones's
favorite recipes collected over a lifetime of cooking-each with its
own story and special tips. "The Tenth Muse" is an absolutely
charming memoir by a woman who was present at the creation of the
American food revolution and played a pivotal role in shaping it.
