Women on Campus
Women on Campus is a collection of compelling essays from the staff of Change, the foremost monthly magazine on American higher learning. This widely praised collec-tion of essays on the feminist struggle for greater participation in American academic life presents a portrait that was rarely reflected in the academic journals. In this classic volume, now available in paperback, a wide spectrum of distinguished, outspoken authors discuss what, when it was originally published, was one of the major goals of American women: full equality in campus life. This widely praised collec-tion of essays on the feminist struggle for greater participa-tion in American academic life presents a portrait rarely re-flected in the academic jour-nals. In this volume, a wide spectrum of distinguished, outspoken authors discuss one of the major goals of American women: full equality in campus life. "Academia," says Elizabeth Janeway in her introduction to Women on Campus, "has been getting on without half the research talent and teach-ing skill it might have laid claim to just by ignoring women.

Keynes' General Theory of Interest
In Keynes' General Theory of Interest Fiona Maclachlan rehabilitates the largely discredited liquidity preference theory of interest, providing an original and rigorously reasoned restatement of the theory. Her provocative book draws on the methodological tenets of the Austrian school and is grounded firmly both in the history of economic thought and in real world economic institutions.

Rethinking Catholic Theology
Rethinking Catholic Theology: From The Mystery of Existence to the New Creation provides readers with an intelligent, informed, critical grasp of at least the central truths of the Catholic/Christian tradition. It aims to help readers to rethink more deeply these essential truths, and moreover, in what specific ways the understanding of the Catholic faith has changed and/or remained the same since Vatican II. The first part centers on Jesus Messiah and the mystery of existence. It delineates how his life, death, resurrection as “transformed physicality,” and ascension usher in the kingdom of God and best answer the questions: Who am I? Who are we? Where did we come from and where are we ...
Mission and the Cultural Other
Mission and the Cultural Other is a decolonial critique of a too often failed missionary enterprise. Rev. Dr. Randy Woodley, a former missionary and missiologist, writes both as an insider and an outsider. As an Indigenous person, a missionary among Native Americans, and a decolonial theologian with over thirty years of experience in various missionary movements, he has seen the best and worst that American mission has to offer. Before change can be made in a guarded system such as Christian mission, the critique must be pervasive and cut to the core of the problem. To truly understand the weakness of modern mission, we need to hear from those who have been its casualties.
Catholic Schools in the Public Interest
This book is a study of the contributions of Catholic K-12 schools in the United States to the public interest from the 1800’s to the present. It presents seven strategies that have the possibility of leading Catholic schools in positive, new directions. Outsiders often misunderstand the mission, purpose, and inclusivity of Catholic schools. This book brings a new focus on Catholic schools from the perspective of their service to this country through the education of Catholics and non-Catholics. In 16 chapters, a variety of scholars examine these schools across three periods: echoes of the past, realities of the present, and future directions. The intention of the editor and authors of thi...
Christian missions and Indian assimilation
„Christian Missions and Indian Assimilation“ was originally written as a Master thesis paper in Geography and was completed in 2001 at the Karl-Franzens-University in Graz, Austria. It is one of the most accurate and comprehensive books there are on Lakota history & culture as well as intercultural contact and its implications. Driven by the idea of culture clash and its consequences Andrea Schmidt was curious to find out how two seemingly so very different or even contradictory cultural and religious systems, the Oglala Lakota cultural system and the (European) system of Christian belief and mission, can exist, side by side, within the Lakota individuals, tribes and within the reservati...
