'Track Two Diplomacy and Jerusalem' is the first in a series of
three books which collectively present the work of the Jerusalem
Old City Initiative, or JOCI, a major Canadian-led Track Two
diplomatic effort, undertaken between 2003 and 2014. JOCI's raison
d'etre was to find sustainable governance solutions for the Old
City of Jerusalem, arguably the most sensitive and intractable of
the final status issues dividing Palestinians and Israelis. 'Track
Two Diplomacy and Jerusalem' includes a series of studies that
place JOCI within its historical setting and explain the
theoretical context of Track Two diplomacy. The book then proceeds
to present the Initiative's culminating documents, which outline in
detail its proposed Special Regime governance model. Until now, the
proposals have remained unpublished and available only to a limited
audience of key stakeholders. Presenting the information in an
accessible format, this book will contribute positively to the
wider conversation on Jerusalem, especially with respect to the
longstanding conflict over control and governance of this holy
city. It will therefore be of value to several audiences, from the
policy-making community to the various traditions found in
academia.

Governance and Security in Jerusalem is the second in a series of
three books which collectively present in detail the work of the
Jerusalem Old City Initiative, or JOCI, a major Canadian-led Track
Two diplomatic effort, undertaken between 2003 and 2014. The aim of
the Initiative was to find sustainable governance solutions for the
Old City of Jerusalem, arguably the most sensitive and intractable
of the final status issues dividing Palestinians and Israelis. This
book presents a collection of studies commissioned by the
Initiative in aid of its work on the Special Regime. It is split
into three parts, Part I provides background papers on governance
and security issues; Part II presents Palestinian and Israeli
partner perspectives on governance options for a special regime,
and the Part III delivers partner perspectives on security studies
for a special regime. The studies written by the Israeli and
Palestinian partners provide important background and historical
context for JOCI's work on security and governance. The position
papers, presented in their original form, greatly influenced the
development of the Special Regime governance model. Offering a
unique insight on a range of governance and security issues in
Jerusalem, this book will be of great significance to the
policy-making community and students and scholars with an interest
in Middle East politics, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the
Middle East peace process.

Over the past decade, many major advances have been made in the field of graph colouring via the probabilistic method. This monograph provides an accessible and unified treatment of these results, using tools such as the Lovasz Local Lemma and Talagrand's concentration inequality.The topics covered include: Kahn's proofs that the Goldberg-Seymour and List Colouring Conjectures hold asymptotically; a proof that for some absolute constant C, every graph of maximum degree Delta has a Delta+C total colouring; Johansson's proof that a triangle free graph has a O(Delta over log Delta) colouring; algorithmic variants of the Local Lemma which permit the efficient construction of many optimal and near-optimal colourings.This begins with a gentle introduction to the probabilistic method and will be useful to researchers and graduate students in graph theory, discrete mathematics, theoretical computer science and probability.
Contested Sites in Jerusalem is the third and final volume in a
series of books which collectively present in detail the work of
the Jerusalem Old City Initiative, or JOCI, a major Canadian-led
Track Two diplomatic effort, undertaken between 2003 and 2014. The
aim of the Initiative was to find sustainable governance solutions
for the Old City of Jerusalem, arguably the most sensitive and
intractable of the final status issues dividing Palestinians and
Israelis. This book examines the complex and often contentious
issues that arise from the overlapping claims to the Temple
Mount/Haram al-Sharif, the role of UNESCO, and the major
implications of the JOCI Special Regime for such issues as
archaeology, property, and the economy. Part I is dedicated to holy
sites - ground zero of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, a point
reinforced by the autumn 2014 disturbances which threatened to
spiral out of control and engulf Palestinians and Israelis in yet
another wave of violence. Parts II-IV of the volume contain studies
on archaeology, property, and economics that were written after the
completion of the Special Regime model, specifically to address in
depth how a Special Regime would deal with each of these three
important areas. Contested Sites in Jerusalem offers an insightful
explanation of the enormous challenges facing any attempt to find
sustainable governance and security arrangements for the Old City
in the context of a peace agreement between the Israelis and the
Palestinians. It will therefore be of immense value to the
policy-making community, as well as anyone in academia with a focus
on Middle East politics, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the
Middle East peace process.

How do we study Christian life and thought? How have political and
cultural events influenced the experiences of Christians in
different places, at different times? How has the world's largest
religion been lived in varied parts of the world? The Christian
Experience is the first textbook to unite traditional approaches to
Christianity with special attention to art, music, architecture,
and lived experiences. The material, individual, and personal sides
of Christianity are brought to the fore throughout this
chronological survey. Every chapter begins with a "first encounter"
in order to bring the subject matter to life for students,
mirroring the author's approach in his successful book Experiencing
the World's Religions. This book on Christianity features over 100
color images, maps, and diagrams, and each chapter ends by pointing
to additional print and electronic resources. Michael Molloy
considers practices, insights, and artistic creations of Christians
across the centuries. The book shows how Christian belief is being
practiced in our own time, and it invites readers to imagine how
Christianity might evolve in the future.

Michael Molloy's multi-dimensional examination of religions,
combined with Connect Religion's skills-based activities, provides
an intimate learning experience for students. "Experiencing the
World's Religions" integrated program supports today's students and
provides skills that extend beyond the Introduction to Religion
course, engaging both non-majors and majors in the subject.
The goal of the 6th edition is to better meet the Introduction to
Religion course challenges of building student engagement,
developing critical analysis skills, and building writing skills.
The 6th edition of "Experiencing the World's Religions" continues
to include primary sources, current examples, and coverage of
women, to ensure students are introduced to unfamiliar religions in
ways that are accessible, inviting, and intriguing.
Experiencing these concepts and cultures is the hallmark of
Michael Molloy's approach. His pedagogy and activities are now
fully integrated and assessable within Connect Religion, to make
for an increased understanding of the most important and memorable
elements of each religion. Writing activities in Connect Religion,
tied to chapter narrative, offer students the chance to develop
their critical analysis skills and put their informed opinions on
religion into writing. The result is greater student engagement and
greater course success.
