The Defender's Dilemma
National security threats facing the West are fundamentally changing. In this book, Elisabeth Braw offers the first sustained analysis of how new tactics in the gray zone between war and peace dangerously weaken liberal democracies. She discusses the breadth of gray-zone aggression and presents strategies for better defense against it.
Framing School Violence and Bullying in Young Adult Manga
This book closely examines the ways in which many popular, internationally-published Japanese young adult manga graphic novel titles frame instances of K-12 school-situated violence and bullying. Manga is a Japanese literary medium that has grown worldwide as an increasingly visible fixture of young adults’ recreational reading habits. The author uncovers the medium’s most prevalent patterns of defining, depicting, and discussing school-situated violence and bullying. Through the lens of socio-cultural media frame analysis, he explores what these patterns might indicate about young adults' preexisting views and beliefs about occurrences of violence and bullying within their own school environments. This in-depth investigation of manga literature provides important information pertaining to the pedagogies and practices of K-12 teachers and school administrators, as well as detailed advice for parents of young adult manga fans.
The Arctic and World Order
The Arctic, long described as the world’s last frontier, is quickly becoming our first frontier—the front line in a world of more diffuse power, sharper geopolitical competition, and deepening interdependencies between people and nature. A space of often-bitter cold, the Arctic is the fastest-warming place on earth. It is humanity’s canary in the coal mine—an early warning sign of the world’s climate crisis. The Arctic “regime” has pioneered many innovative means of governance among often-contentious state and non-state actors. Instead of being the “last white dot on the map,” the Arctic is where the contours of our rapidly evolving world may first be glimpsed. In this book, scholars and practitioners—from Anchorage to Moscow, from Nuuk to Hong Kong—explore the huge political, legal, social, economic, geostrategic and environmental challenges confronting the Arctic regime, and what this means for the future of world order.
Ãngeles de Luz Divina (Angels of Divine Light Spanish edition)
La extraordinaria autobiografía de uno de los sanadores y terapeutas espirituales más importantes del mundo. Aidan Storey creció en Dublín feliz y rodeado de su familia y de sus amigos del barrio. Pero había una gran diferencia entre Aidan y sus amigos: Cuando él se quedaba solo, los Ángeles lo visitaban. Sin temor alguno a los bellos espíritus luminosos que velaban por él, no fue hasta mucho más adelante en su vida cuando Aidan se dio cuenta de que no todo el mundo podía ver a los Ángeles, ni tenía su mismo don excepcional para la curación. En este extraordinario libro, Aidan recuerda vívidamente cómo la presencia de los Ángeles lo sostuvo durante años de gran sufrimiento cuando fue sujeto de abuso sexual y mental a manos de dos maestros en su escuela primaria católica. Aidan cuenta cómo los Ángeles lo ayudaron a encontrar su camino de regreso a la felicidad y, a través del poder divino de la sanación, le enseñaron a llevar luz y amor a su vida y a la de muchos otros. Profundamente conmovedor, Ángeles de la Luz Divina es un libro de memorias sobre la esperanza y el perdón, y un testimonio inolvidable del poder curativo de los Ángeles.

Mi historia con Dios
Escribir un libro es una de las cosas que mucha gente describe como algo que tenemos que hacer antes de morir. Es curioso; la verdad es que para las personas que no tienen el hábito de leer no es algo “así como que muy cierto”, pero los que tienen el amor por la lectura te podrían decir ¡claro! Pues la mayor parte del tiempo creemos, pensamos y actuamos, con- forme a lo que, a lo largo de nuestra vida, vimos, o nos enseñaron, como “lo correcto”. Lo más difícil para mí a la hora de escribir un libro es atraparte con las primeras líneas, y te prometo que me puse a pensar mucho sobre cómo iniciarlo, ¡hasta que lo descubrí! Te contaré una anécdota. Los que hemos...
