Responding to Global Poverty
This book explores whether affluent people in the developed world have stringent responsibilities to help fight poverty abroad.
International Trade and Labor Standards
Progressive governments in poor countries fear that if they undertake measures to enhance real wages and working conditions, rising labor costs would cause wealthier countries to import from and invest elsewhere. Yet if the world trading system were designed to facilitate or even reward measures to promote labor standards, poor countries could undertake them without fear. In this book, Christian Barry and Sanjay G. Reddy propose ways in which the international trading system can support poor countries in promoting the well-being of their peoples. Reforms to the trading system can lessen the collective-action problem among poor countries, increasing their freedom to pursue policy that better ...
Christianity Explored
The Christianity Explored course has explained the good news of Jesus Christ to thousands of people. Christianity Explored the book takes the reader through the Gospel of Mark to introduce who Jesus was, what He came to do and why. It further focuses on the identity of Jesus Christ, defining the concept of 'grace' and explaining the nature of Christianity and Christian relationships. The reader is left with a clear choice: who do we say Jesus Christ is? And what will we do with His claims to divinity? Chapters on James, John, Bartimaeus and Herod further present the stark contrasts between the choices made by those who have either rejected or accepted Jesus as Lord. The book ends with an explanation of how God equips people to live the Christian life, preparing the reader to begin this great adventure of faith.
Love Kindness
Kindness is not what we have been taught it is. It isn’t a soft virtue, expressed only by sweet grandmothers or nice Boy Scouts. Kindness is neither timid nor frail. Instead, it is brave and daring, willing to be vulnerable with those with whom we disagree. It is the revolutionary way that Jesus himself called us to live. The way of selfless risks. The way of staggering hope. The way of authenticity. Dr. Barry Corey, president of Biola University, believes we tend to devalue the importance of kindness, opting instead for caustic expressions of certainty that push people away. We forget that the essence of what God requires of us is to “love kindness.” In this book, filled with stories from his travels around the globe, Barry shows us the forgotten way of kindness. It is a life that calls us to put ourselves at risk. A life that calls us to hope. A life of a firm center and soft edges. It is the life Christ invites us to follow, no matter what the cost. This new paperback edition has an added chapter and a foreword from Steven Curtis Chapman.
The Vampire's Craving
Earn your Black Card with vampire Christian Stewart... Maggie Jarrett is innocent. She runs her mouth every now and then but she's never really been kissed. Scratch that. She's been kissed, but not in that heart-pounding, mind-numbing, pelvis-shocking way her friends keep talking about. And now, with her new job as a feeder for a brooding billionaire vampire, she doubts she'll ever get swept away. Not when she's tainted. But Christian Stewart doesn't see her that way. To him, she's effing perfect. He has to have her. He has to be the one to claim her. This whole love at first sight thing doesn't fly in the vampire world. Now that he's tasted her, he can't get enough. There's something about her blood that makes him addicted to her. It's different. It tastes like sunshine. It tastes like something he's never had before. Something supernatural. But Maggie is as human as she is innocent. Or is there more to her than either of them realize? And is it her blood that gives Christian these feelings or is it more than just physical?
Global Ethics
Global ethics addresses some of the most pressing ethical concerns today, including rogue states, torture, scarce resources, poverty, migration, consumption, global trade, medical tourism, and humanitarian intervention. It is both topical and important. How we resolve (or fail to resolve) the dilemmas of global ethics shapes how we understand ourselves, our relationships with each other and the social and political frameworks of governance now and into the future. This is seen most clearly in the case of climate change, where our actions now determine the environment our grandchildren will inherit, but it is also the case in other areas as our decisions about what it is permissible for humans beings to do to each other determines the type of beings we are. This book, suitable for course use, introduces students to the theory and practice of global ethics, ranging over issues in global governance and citizenship, poverty and development, war and terrorism, bioethics, environmental and climate ethics and gender justice.
Outrageous Behavior Modification
The second edition of this unconventional handbook is a revised, expanded, and even more powerful version of the first controversial work. Developed by eccentric school psychology practitioners, this outrageous text introduces such methods as planned confusion, disruptive word pictures, unconscious suggestion, double-bind predictions, off-the-wall interpretations, and even some straight-face paradoxical assignments. It's perfect for educators who have had enough behavior management theory but not enough success in managing difficult students. Many of the methods presented are powerfully hypnotic and strategic in nature and are intended to effectively neutralize student resistance at a deeper...

Political Theory Without Borders
POLITICAL THEORY WITHOUT BORDERS Political theory has traditionally focused on governance within the confines of a specific polity, but with the recent proliferation of environmental realities and national decisions that have global repercussions, political theory must now be re-imagined to confront globalization head-on. Political Theory Without Borders presents a collection scholarship that does just that. Each chapter focuses on answering specific questions that have arisen from issues of global spillover – like climate change and pollution – and the increasingly unrestricted flow of people, products, and financial capital across borders. With contributions from emerging scholars alongside key texts from some of the most well-known theorists of previous generations, this collection illustrates how the classic concerns of political theory – justice and equality, liberty and oppression – have re-emerged with a renewed significance at the global level.
Liberal Rights and Responsibilities
In this book, Christopher Heath Wellman offers original theories of political legitimacy and our obligation to obey the law, and then, building upon these accounts, defends a number of distinctive positions concerning the rights and responsibilities individual citizens, separatist groups, and political states have regarding one another.
