And That Was ... Derek Davis
Household name Derek Davis presents here a collection of his popular RTÉ radio broadcasts. Never complacent and always questioning, they describe a changing society and its changing concerns: the treatment of the elderly, the shirking of duties and opportunities by those in public office at home and abroad, the tribulations of the Irish motorist and the troubles - both north and south of the border. Derek speaks about topics he knows well and feels strongly about. His passion and joie de vivre, as well as his distinctive voice and turn of phrase, are all retained from the original transcripts. Perfect for those who've listened to and enjoyed the radio columns, and also those who haven't had the opportunity.
From Then and Now
From Then and Now is a collection of poems written by the author from the time Derek Davis started writing to now. There is a special plus added towards the end of the book. If you purchase this book, you can see just what makes this book special!
Not Exactly the Finest Kind
Do you like a good ghost, alien, angel, rock n roll coming of age story thats really screwed up? This may be your type of tale! More than two decades following his fifteen seconds of fame, former 1980s rock star Steve Finney now entertains in the Florida Keys as a part-time lounge act and full time bartender. Old friends drag Steve out of the tropical hideout back up to his old home state of Maine for, of all things, a high school reunion and a funeral. But then the inevitable trip back in time and to his old hometown up north gets weird as ancient aliens, angels, and ghosts from the past and present (are they all the same?) try to guide Steve on and off the path. Joining the former rockers coming-of-age journey are some equally confused old friends. The restaurant manager who hates people. A medium who chaotically misinterprets the latest cause he is involved with and the voices he hears, and another buddy whose family is dying off like an endangered species. All of these events come to a head during another summer in the small tourist trap town of Acorn Bay, Maine. Oh yeah, and theres a thirty-eight-pound talking lobster.
Putting Faith in Partnerships
Putting Faith in Partnerships addresses a major conceptual change in American domestic policy, begun by Reagan and now fully realized by the Bush administration: the shift of responsibility for social services from the federal government to states and communities. In this groundbreaking study of a politically controversial topic---the debut offering in Alan Wolfe's Contemporary Political and Social Issues series---author Stephen Monsma avoids overheated rhetoric in favor of a careful, critical analysis of the hard evidence on whether public-private partnerships really work. The book is based on in-depth studies of social service programs in Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Dallas. By ...
Private Consciences and Public Reasons
Within democratic societies, a deep division exists over the nature of community and the grounds for political life. Should the political order be neutral between competing conceptions of the good life or should it be based on some such conception? This book addresses one crucial set of problems raised by this division: What bases should officials and citizens employ in reaching political decisions and justifying their positions? Should they feel free to rely on whatever grounds seem otherwise persuasive to them, like religious convictions, or should they restrict themselves to "public reasons," reasons that are shared within the society or arise from the premises of liberal democracy?

New Religious Movements and Religious Liberty in America
New nontraditional religious movements are the most likely groups to offend mainstream culture and the least likely to have representatives in government to ensure that their liberty is protected. These new religious movements are sometimes ostracized and subject to various forms of discrimination. As America becomes increasingly pluralistic, with more and more groups contributing to the nation's religious mosaic, new religious movements may well play an increasing role in the course of religious liberty in America, just as groups such as the Jehovah's Witnesses did formerly. This book explores the problems and possibilities posed by new religious movements for religious liberty in America.
