Five Loaves, Two Fish, Twelve Volunteers
Sixty-two percent of food pantries and meal programs in the United States are faith-based. Most of these ministries are transactional; people needing food interact with church volunteers to earn access to direct service. Elizabeth Magill advocates relational ministry as a better model for food ministry. People donating food or money eat with the people who need food and get to know them as they serve alongside them. Those needing food share all aspects of the ministry, including planning, setting up, leading, serving, and cleaning. As volunteers become better acquainted with those they serve, they can form deep, meaningful relationships, creating a new way to be the church. Five Loaves, Two Fish, Twelve Volunteers tells the stories of eight churches that share food ministry with people who need their services. Full of practical advice, this book emphasizes that building relationships and offering radical welcome is more important work for churches than efficiency or order. It helps congregations evaluate their outreach and advises them on how to do it differently.
Unsettling Landscapes
This book reveals a thread of unsettling takes on the British landscape stretching from paintings, prints and photographs made by Paul Nash in the aftermath of the First World War to contemporary artists exploring themes of memory, belonging, hauntology, dislocation and human impact on nature.

Horror specialises in confrontation and aggression; the eerie in intimation and intimidation.? Macfarlane suggests that eerie art has often flourished at times of crisis, as seen in th...
Defining Sexism
Culturally, we treat sexism as if it is debatable, and we overlook or misunderstand its relationship to institutionalized power. Our cultural misunderstandings make it difficult, if not impossible, for us to embrace diversity and achieve social justice as a nation-even as we work to solve problems involving sex, gender, race, age, ability, and class. As the first in a series about sexism in the United States, Defining Sexism in the U.S. allows readers to explore the relationship between sexism, intersecting forms of discrimination (such as racism and homophobia), and power. Questions such as "Does Sexism Affect All Women Identically?", "How is Sexism Connected to Beauty?", and "Does Sexism Affect Men?" lay the groundwork for understanding how and why sexism functions within our society. This knowledge can lead to empowerment and healing-for individuals, local communities, and our nation as a whole.
Preventing Regulatory Capture
Leading scholars from across the social sciences present empirical evidence that the obstacle of regulatory capture is more surmountable than previously thought.
Internet Architecture and Innovation
A detailed examination of how the underlying technical structure of the Internet affects the economic environment for innovation and the implications for public policy. Today—following housing bubbles, bank collapses, and high unemployment—the Internet remains the most reliable mechanism for fostering innovation and creating new wealth. The Internet's remarkable growth has been fueled by innovation. In this pathbreaking book, Barbara van Schewick argues that this explosion of innovation is not an accident, but a consequence of the Internet's architecture—a consequence of technical choices regarding the Internet's inner structure that were made early in its history. The Internet's origi...
