Change It Up
Where do you turn when problems overwhelm you? Surveys show we normally respond in avoidance patterns, some healthy and some not. We eat, shop, watch TV, go to the gym, gamble, take drugs, drink alcohol, and the list goes on.

Yes There is a way to break loose from the chains of those problems by asking the right questions. "CHANGE T UP" guides you through 5 lines of inquiry that help you create solutions in the now-not tomorrow, not when someone else decides for you, and you don't have to wait until ...

Crickets and Thunder
Getting to know the invisible God and hearing his voice in the big and little things of life, the author traces steps through 40 years of her life, from the burbs of Boston to the jungles of New Guinea and back to the corridors of brain cancer. From rock concerts to the rain forest, whether surrounded by an angry tribe or pounded by the pain of devastating loss, there is One who walks with us and shares the journey. He is our Redeemer, salvaging every broken bit from the ashes. As the title suggests, He is as near and intimate as our bare feet in the grass; as powerful and mysterious as the thunder in the heavens. He can raise the dead or pitch a lightning bolt from a clear blue sky. He shows up in the fire and speaks peace into every situation, and his whispers are more powerful than crashing waves. This is a collection of miracles and inspirational stories about learning to "hold unswervingly to hope... for He who promised is faithful."
Sexual Identities, Queer Politics
In this collection, political and public policy analysts explore the social concerns of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and the transgendered--what has come to be known as "lgbt" or "queer" politics. Compared to the humanities and to other social sciences, political science has been slow to address this phenomenon. Issues ranging from housing to adoption to laws on sodomy, however, have increasingly raised important political questions about the rights and status of sexual minorities, particularly within liberal democracies such as the United States, and also on an international level. This anthology offers the first comprehensive overview of the study of lgbt politics in political science across...

Female Circumcision
Bolokoli, khifad, tahara, tahoor, qudiin, irua, bondo, kuruna, negekorsigin, and kene-kene are a few of the terms used in local African languages to denote a set of cultural practices collectively known as female circumcision. Practiced in many countries across Africa and Asia, this ritual is hotly debated. Supporters regard it as a central coming-of-age ritual that ensures chastity and promotes fertility. Human rights groups denounce the procedure as barbaric. It is estimated that between 100 million and 130 million girls and women today have undergone forms of this genital surgery. Female Circumcision gathers together African activists to examine the issue within its various cultural and h...
The Political Geographies of Pregnancy
A searing study of how modern reproductive politics shapes women's bodily agency Pregnancy indisputably takes place within a woman's body. But as reproductive power finds its way into the hands of medical professionals, lobbyists, and policymakers, the geographies of pregnancy are shifting, and the boundaries need to be redrawn, argues Laura R. Woliver. The Political Geographies of Pregnancy is a vigorous analysis of the ways modern reproductive politics are shaped by long-standing debates on abortion and adoption, surrogacy arrangements, new reproductive technologies, medical surveillance, and the mapping of the human genome. Across a politically charged backdrop of reproductive issues, Wol...
Policing the National Body
This anthology explores the ways in which women of color are monitored, criminalized and regulated.
Shopping with Allah
Shopping with Allah illustrates the ways in which religion is mobilised in package tourism and how spiritual, economic and gendered practices are combined in a form of tourism where the goal is not purely leisure but also ethical and spiritual cultivation. Focusing on the intersection of gender and Islam, Viola Thimm shows how this intersection develops and changes in a pilgrimage-tourism nexus as part of capitalist and halal consumer markets. Based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork in Malaysia, the United Arab Emirates and Oman, Thimm sheds light on how Islam and gender frame Malaysian religious tourism and pilgrimage to the Arabian Peninsula, but she raises many issues that are of great ...
