As sales of fair-trade goods explode across the globe, Fair Trade
and the Citizen-Consumer provides a timely analysis of the
organizations, institutions and grassroots networks behind this
growing movement. Drawing on examples from the UK, Sweden and USA,
this book moves away from models of individualized consumer choice
and instead explores the collective cultures and practices that
motivate and sustain fair-trade consumer behaviour. Although the
fair-trade citizen-consumer has been called to action and publicly
represented as an individual 'voting' in the marketplace, this book
reveals how market interventions are editing the choices available
to consumers, at the same time as 'Fairtrade Town' consumer
networks are flourishing. Offering new and critical insights into
the fair-trade success story, this book also contributes to debates
about sustainable consumption behaviour and the growth of 'new'
forms of political participation and citizenship.

Learning that someone you love is involved in sexual sin is
heart-breaking and confusing. Even though an estimated 30-40% of
Christian men struggle with some sort of sexual compulsion or
addiction that is negatively affecting their lives, the awkwardness
and shame surrounding this topic make it difficult for their loved
ones to find the information, answers and hope that they so
desperately need. Written especially for the spouses of those
struggling with pornography, masturbation, affairs and other sexual
compulsions, When Sex Causes Heartbreak addresses the very private
issues relating to sexual compulsions and addiction, honestly,
directly and confidentially in an easy-to-read, easy-to-understand
question and answer format. This biblically-based resource will
provide a deeper understanding of your husband's struggle and help
calm your fears, alleviate your anger and empower you to address
this very real threat to your marriage and self-esteem head-on with
new confidence and strength.

Now Choose Life is very different than other faith-based sexual
addiction books. Each chapter offers a unique balance of personal
testimony, practical information and spiritual truth as we follow
the down-to-earth story of the escalation of one man's addiction;
the impact of his compulsive behaviors on his wife and marriage;
and the trials and triumphs of his recovery. Through poignant
glimpses into his thirty-year battle with sexual addiction
interwoven with easy-to-understand professional commentary, Now
Choose Life dispels many of the rampant myths and misconceptions
about this little-understood addiction and provides indispensable
education, empowering hope and a proven way out of the grip of
sexual sin for every struggler. This book will benefit not only sex
addicts and their spouses, but any Christian who seeks a deeper
understanding of sexual addiction and the path to lasting freedom.

therein, eager to determine their dimensions, carried along by

question, and what has kept us awake now sings us back to sleep.

Kathleen Wheeler's critical guide analyzes in 135 essays the
narrative practices and stylistic devices of fiction from all over
the English-speaking world. Eleven further chapters focus on the
influence of early psychological writings on fiction, the rise of
international English literature, fiction from the rich post-war
period (when the novel was supposed to be dead), post-structuralist
theory, postmodernism and magic realism, and feminist theory.
The guide also discusses dozens of further writers from across
the world in a geographically arranged chapter, while a final
chapter guides readers through the vast range of available research
resources. The bibliography covers thoroughly the secondary
criticism available, in separate listings for each of the 135
entries, and in a list of both general criticism and
anthologies.
This study sets out the literary, critical and philosophical
origins of deconstruction. It presents a background of romanticism
as formulated by Coleridge, Shelley, and the German Romantic
Ironists in which the "tyranny of reason" is rejected in favor of
an anti-dualist philosophy. Against this background, the challenges
to the philosophy of William James and John Dewey are examined, in
an attempt to clarify later post-structuralist deconstructions of
metaphysics and traditional literary theory. Dewey's philosophy and
his insights into language are discussed in relation to Coleridge
and Derrida, while Derrida's writings are related both to
romanticism and pragmatism. The reaction against
post-structuralism, the "new historicism," is examined as a return
to dualistic thinking and a "forgetting" of the liberating
critiques of philosophy.
