An Invitation to Christian Yoga
Although yoga is increasingly popular as a source of spiritual and physical well being, few Christians know that it is also a unique way to worship God through the ancient practices and disciplines of body prayer. Nancy Roth's An Invitation to Christian Yoga offers an introduction to the practice of yoga as a Christian discipline of prayer, followed by simple poses and exercises that are clearly explained and helpfully illustrated by line drawings. Roth offers a short biblical text, often from the psalms, to accompany each pose as basis for meditation. This book is ideal for beginners as well as more advanced practitioners who wish to incorporate yoga into their life of daily prayer.

Circuit
The title of T. C. Gardstein ́s debut novel describes both its structure and its psychology: the book resembles a circuit in that the final chapter sets up events realized in the first one, while the chapters in between reveal distinct patterns in the life of its youthful protogonist. Circuit is a coming-of-age tale without redemption. Nancy Roth is hardly a heroine; she is more of a female, suburban Holden Caulfield for Generation X. Critical and criticized, precocious and privileged, Nancy comes of age during America ́s post-Watergate era of cynicism, materialism, and cut-throat competition. Nancy manages to be an underachiever while burning with creative ambition. In several chapters of Circuit, Nancy takes over in her own voice, ushering the reader into her thoughts and dreams as well as her nightmares. In all chapters, sensitive topics are dealt with gracefully yet unflinchingly. Although Circuit encapsulates the mood of a particular time and place, Nancy is a character who will resonate with outcasts and rebels of all backgrounds and generations.

A Philosophy of Luxury
In this thought-provoking book Lambert Wiesing asks simply: What is luxury? Drawing on a fascinating range of examples, he argues that luxury is an aesthetic experience. Unlike experience gained via the senses, such as seeing, hearing or tasting, he argues that luxury is achieved by possessing something – an aspect of philosophy that has been largely neglected. As such, luxury becomes a gesture of individual defiance and a refusal to conform to social expectations of restraint. An increasingly rational and goal-oriented ethos in society makes the appeal of luxury grow even stronger. Drawing on the ideas of philosophers such as Immanuel Kant, Friedrich Schiller, Martin Heidegger and the novelist Ernst Jünger, as well as sociologists such as Thorstein Veblen and Theodor Adorno, A Philosophy of Luxury will be of great interest to those in philosophy, art, cultural studies and literature as well as sociology.
American Students Organize
The founding of the U.S. National Student Association (NSA) in September of 1947 was shaped by the immediate concerns and worldview of the "GI Bill Generation" of American Students, returning from a world at war to build a world at peace. The more than 90 living authors of this book, all of whom are of that generation, tell about NSA's formation and first five years. The book also provides a prologue reaching back into the 1930s and an epilogue going forward to the sixties and beyond.
