Practical and theoretical instruction for mainline church planting.
The Episcopal Church has recognized that planting new churches is a
high priority through the Mission Enterprise Zones initiative,
which provides grant funding for new worshiping communities, in
partnership with dioceses. While there is significant literature
and training available for church planters in evangelical contexts,
very little is available for planters in the Episcopal/mainline
context. This book addresses how to rise up and train leaders for
the difficult task of planting new churches in the twenty-first
century. It answers the essential questions, such as why should we
plant churches, what models of church planting are most successful,
what kinds of leaders are necessary, and what problems can be
expected. Through the author's personal experience and interviews
with diocesan experts and leaders in mainline denominations, it
provides strategies, approaches, and problem-solving techniques.
In "The Politics of Individualism "L. Susan Brown argues for a
new vision of human freedom which incorporates the insights of
feminism and liberalism into a form of anarchism based on what she
calls "existential individualism."
The work focuses specifically on the similarities and
differences of these political philosophies, by critically
examining the liberal feminist writings of John Stuart Mill, Betty
Friedan, Simone de Beauvoir and Janet Radcliffe Richards, paying
special attention to the issues of employment, education, marriage
and the family, and governmental politics. These works are, in
turn, compared and contrasted to the anarcho-feminism of Emma
Goldman.
Finally, as feminism as a whole movement is subjected to a
rigorous critique, in terms of its overall liberatory potential,
what emerges is a compelling look at feminist anarchism, describing
"what ought to be--and what could be."
"One of the refreshing points about this analysis is the fact
that it makes sense of a lot of modern history."--"Kick It
Over"
"The merit of this book rests in the intention to examine
critically liberal feminism and to infuse feminism with a dose of
individualism."--"Canadian Journal of Political Science"
"An eloquent exploration of the philosophical territory
encompassing anarchist, feminist and liberal thought...this book
provides a mind-tingling analysis of individualist
philosophies."--"Kitchener-Waterloo Record"
"Brown argues for a new vision of human freedom."--"Peace
News"
"A brisk, neatly argued book that carves out a compelling
version of feminist anarchism."--"Literary Review of Canada"
L. Susan Brown holds a Ph.D. from the University of Toronto
where she is currently teaching in the Department of Political
Science. She has published many articles on the political
philosophy of anarchism and feminism, and has had her work
translated into French and German.
This edited volume explores and extends themes in contemporary
educational research on teacher preparation and the evolution in
social justice education to antiracist pedagogy. These times call
for teacher education to reconsider how the work devoted to social
justice is explicit and intentional about its commitment to a
racially just society. What does it mean for teacher education to
seize this moment to confront racism and inequities that continue
to perpetuate in society and school? The book highlights efforts
that are being augmented to prepare teacher candidates and future
faculty to address systemic racism in their teaching practices.
In the multi-billion dollar sport industry that captures the
interest of a global audience, opportunities abound on the front
lines and behind the scenes for those who have the education,
skill, and drive to succeed. Often the biggest hurdles for those
who want to work in the sport industry is breaking through with an
initial opportunity. Experiential Learning in Sport Management:
Internships and Beyond, 2nd Edition, presents aspiring sport
practitioners with a wealth of information about the industry and
provides professors within sport management programs a framework
for how to lead students through the experiential learning
experience. Authors Susan Brown Foster and John E. Dollar draw from
more than 50 years of combined experience in teaching, research,
and internship supervision in writing a comprehensive yet concise
manual for students preparing for a career in sport. This new
edition includes enhanced content on trending topics such as social
media and eSports.
In the last few years, researchers around the world have
increasingly reported the importance of acid-alkaline balance. A
perennial bestseller, 'The Acid Alkaline Food Guide' was designed
as an easy-to-follow guide to the most common foods that influence
your body's pH level. This second edition has been expanded to
include dozens of additional foods. Updated information, also,
explores (and refutes) the myths about pH balance and diet and
guides the reader to supplements that can help the body achieve a
healthy pH level.
The first major publication devoted to weaver and designer Dorothy
Liebes, reinstating her as one of the most influential American
designers of the twentieth century At the time of her death,
Dorothy Liebes (1897–1972) was called “the greatest modern
weaver and the mother of the twentieth-century palette.†As a
weaver, she developed a distinctive combination of unusual
materials, lavish textures, and brilliant colors that came to be
known as the “Liebes Look.†Yet despite her prolific career and
recognition during her lifetime, Liebes is today considerably less
well known than the men with whom she often collaborated, including
Frank Lloyd Wright, Henry Dreyfuss, and Edward Durrell Stone. Her
legacy also suffered due to the inability of the black-and-white
photography of the period to represent her richly colored and
textured works. Extensively researched and illustrated with
full-color, accurate reproductions, this important publication
examines Liebes’s widespread impact on twentieth-century design.
Essays explore major milestones of her career, including her close
collaborations with major interior designers and architects to
create custom textiles, the innovative and experimental design
studio where she explored new and unusual materials, her use of
fabrics to enhance interior lighting, and her collaborations with
fashion designers, including Clare Potter and Bonnie Cashin.
Ultimately, this book reinstates Liebes at the pinnacle of modern
textile design alongside such recognized figures as Anni Albers and
Florence Knoll. Published in association with Cooper Hewitt,

Specially commissioned essays offer revisionary readings of
canonical poets and bring into focus rediscovered writers. The
specially commissioned essays in Victorian Women Poets, written by
scholars from Britain and North America, offer revisionary readings
of canonical poets and bring into focus re-discovered writers. The
volume both engages critically with the political and aesthetic
agenda behind the project of recovery, and also presents a
pioneering approach to reading poets who have slipped out of the
canon. The work of Elizabeth Barrett Browning and ChristinaRossetti
is re-assessed and given surprising and innovative literary,
political and intellectual contexts that will change the way we
interpret their poetry. Writers of emerging significance, such as
Theodosia Garrow Trollope, Augusta Webster, Mathilde Blind, Michael
Field and Margaret Veley, are given prominence in groundbreaking
analysis that situates their writing within the wider debates of
the period. The themes interwoven throughout the essays - literary
history and canonicity, political poetics, nationhood, print
culture, and genre - provide a radically new understanding of
Victorian women's poetry that maps an agenda for future research.

Martin Kemp stars as serial killer George Joseph Smith in this
made-for-TV crime drama based on a true story. In order to
accumulate wealth Smith commits bigamy under various pseudonyms and
kills three of his wives between 1910 and 1915. He tries to make it
look as though the women died by accidentally drowning in their
bathtubs but the deaths are eventually linked with Detective
Inspector Arthur Neil (Alan McKenna) working to solve the case.
The brightly colored, playful prints of Lilly Pulitzer's clothing
were a staple of American fashion in the 1960s, '70s, and
'80s--worn by members of society from Palm Beach to Nantucket,
actresses, models, and stylish housewives. One could always spot a
Lilly with its undeniable characteristics: clean, comfortable
lines; bright and vivid colors; and the fantastical design of its
fabrics. Whether at the beach or a cocktail party, these simple
shifts for women and girls and jackets and trousers for the gents
were a preppy rite of passage. The majority of Pulitzer's fabric
designs from 1962 through 1985 were based on artwork by Key
West-based artist Suzie Zuzek. These designs--monkeys sipping
martinis, dancing flowers, colorful seashells, op-art
geometrics--were all the rage and attracted the eye of such ladies
as Jackie Kennedy, Happy Rockefeller, and Dina Merrill. This
book--which is a treasure trove of the iconic prints and
contextualizes the purely American label--is a must-have for the
libraries of those who love fashion and social history.
Traces the story of India's expansion that is woven into the
