The Torah on One Foot
"This clearly written commentary on the Torah, The Five Books of Moses, comes with a glowing recommendation from The Rev'd Canon Andrew White, better known as The Vicar of Baghdad. Written on a simpler level than most existing commentaries, it is ideal for those Jews who are on the first rung of the ladder of Torah study and for Christians who want to view the first five books of the Old Testament through Jewish eyes. Hillel, the great Rabbinic teacher who was born in Babylonia around 110 B.C.E. (Before the Common Era) was once asked by a gentile who wanted to convert to Judaism but had little patience for studying, "Teach me the whole law while I stand on one foot." Hillel replied, "What is hateful to you do not do to your fellow. That is the whole law, the rest is the interpretation of it. Go and learn!" "

Keyport in the 20th Century
The twentieth century can truly be said to have been America's century. As the nation reached the position of world leader, her towns and cities changed at an unprecedented pace. With the approach to the millennium, the topic of change is on everyone's mind--how our communities and lifestyles have changed over the past century, and how we can endeavor to preserve the past while facing the future in which the world seems to change ever faster. The American Century series documents and celebrates our most recent history--featuring images of faces and places which were taken within living memory and yet that already seem to belong to a long-past era.
Recognition and Power
The topic of recognition has come to occupy a central place in debates in social and political theory. Developed by George Herbert Mead and Charles Taylor, it has been given expression in the program for Critical Theory developed by Axel Honneth in his book The Struggle for Recognition. Honneth's research program offers an empirically insightful way of reflecting on emancipatory struggles for greater justice and a powerful theoretical tool for generating a conception of justice and the good that enables the normative evaluation of such struggles. This 2007 volume offers a critical clarification and evaluation of this research program, particularly its relationship to the other major development in critical social and political theory; namely, the focus on power as formative of practical identities (or forms of subjectivity) proposed by Michel Foucault and developed by theorists such as Judith Butler, James Tully, and Iris Marion Young.
