THE LEGEND OF GILI THE CHRISTMAS KID
This is a beautifully illustrated children's story about how an ordinary kid goat becomes a Christmas kid after spending time with a very special baby. After his mother is driven into the wilderness because of a sad custom, a kid goat called Gili is forced to make sense of the world without her love and guidance. He struggles to be kind and good, but everything changes after strangers arrive to share his stable. Before he knows it, he becomes a witness to a series of life-changing events.
Breaking Anger's Embrace
Everywhere we turn, people are expressing anger about the things they don’t like in their personal lives, at work or school, in their communities and countries, or in our world in general. Sometimes that anger is more like righteous indignation, and motivated people find ways to way channel their anger into constructive actions intended to change their lives and the lives of others.

It is a lucid and affectionate portrait, yet far from uncritical, as revealing of its author as its subject. With a...

Secular Foundations of the Liberal State in Victorian Britain
Examines the entanglement of secularity and liberality in the foundation of the modern state in Britain. "Modern" Britain emerged from the outcome of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars. The rather standard Whig account of the long nineteenth century is one of growing stability, progress and improvement. And yet nothing was preordained or inevitable about the period's stability. Ruling elites felt the constant anxieties of revolutionary terrorism. As Lubenow argues, it was a period of disorganization seeking organization. The great nineteenth-century reform acts against religious monopoly were aspects of this process of political organization. While religion did not disappear, thes...
