Meine Woche mit Gott
Zeit für mich – Zeit für Gott. Stille sein, beten, in der Bibel lesen, zur Ruhe kommen. Wie schön wäre das! Wohin aber mit dieser Sehnsucht mitten im turbulenten Alltag? Wie kann ich Gott erleben in einer ganz normalen Woche: Zwischen Wäschebergen und Supermarktkasse, auf dem Weg zur Arbeit, beim Mittagessen, den Hausaufgaben oder zwischen zwei Terminen? Meine Woche mit Gott: Das bedeutet ein Bibelabschnitt für eine Woche. Vielleicht lese ich ihn einmal, zweimal – oder auch jeden Tag. Zeit zu lesen, zu verweilen, zu verstehen. Dazu gibt es persönliche Auslegungen von verschiedenen Autorinnen mit Fragen und Impulsen für den Alltag. Mit der Bibel durchs Kirchenjahr: Als roter Faden...

Agency and Organization
Social theory and organization theory often exist in mutual isolation: social theory analyzes the individual actor and the grand social structure, while organization theory focuses on the dynamics of business enterprises and effective organizational forms. Drawing insights from both perspectives, G um oran Ahrne explores agency - individuals' actions - and organization within their social context. From this fruitful approach emerges the outline of an organizational theory of society. Working with a broad definition of organization - not only capitalist enterprises but also nation states, families and voluntary associations - the author investigates the role of organizations in regulating the...
The Pankhursts
The suffragettes outraged Victorian society but their personal lives were just as dramatic as their public actions. In this gripping and incisive account of the Pankhursts, Martin Pugh reveals the full story behind this unique family: Emmeline, the domineering mother; Christabel, the favourite daughter, who became an Adventist and admirer of Mussolini; Sylvia, the 'scarlet woman'; adn Adela, banished to Australia after a bitter rift. The result is a narrative that reads like a novel, and a brilliant insight into the history of a family that changed the face of British society for ever.
Civil Society
It is only a decade ago that the eighteenth-century distinction between civil society and the state seemed old-fashioned, an object of cynicism, even of outright hostility. In this important new book, John Keane shows how, in a wholly unexpected reversal of fortunes, this antiquated distinction has since become voguish among politicians, academics, journalists, business leaders, relief agencies and citizens' organizations. John Keane examines the various sources and phases of the dramatic world-wide popularization of the term. He traces its reappearance in a wide range of contexts - from China to Tunisia, from South Africa to the emerging European Union - and clarifies the conflicting gramma...
British Clubs and Societies 1580-1800
Modern freemasonry was invented in London about 1717, but was only one of a surge of British associations in the early modern era which had originated before the English Revolution. By 1800, thousands of clubs and societies had swept the country. Recruiting widely from the urban affluent classes, mainly amongst men, they traditionally involved heavy drinking, feasting, singing, and gambling. They ranged from political, religious and scientific societies, artistic and literary clubs, to sporting societies, bee keeping, and birdfancying clubs, and a myriad of other associations.
Organized Womanhood
In Organized Womanhood, Sandra Haarsager shows how women's organizations in the Pacific Northwest became a major social force, imposing education, culture, and political reform to counter others' vision of a Wild West. Meeting in clubs to study great literature or art, women soon found themselves lobbying for better social, legal, and economic status for women, from working women to widows. Their ideas about education and culture counterbalanced the pressures of fast-paced economic and political development in the Northwest. Through reference to a vast number of documents, most unpublished, Haarsager pieces together the history and influence of women's organizations. Profiles of club leaders interspersed throughout the text highlight the achievements of individual women.
Cultural Tourism in Latin America
Cultural tourism has become an important source of revenue for Latin American countries, especially in the Andes and Meso-America. Tourists go there looking for authentic cultures and artefacts and interact directly with indigenous people. Cultural tourism therefore takes place in close engagement with local societies. This book analyse the effects of cultural tourism and the processes of change it provokes in local societies. It analyses the intricacies of informal markets, the consequences of enforcing tourist policies, the varied encounters of foreign tourists with local populations, and the images and identities that result from the development of tourism. The contributors convincingly s...
