There are over 130 million orphans worldwide. The pro-life/pro-choice debate continues to consume politics and everyday conversations. Readers want to know what they can do to make a difference on these issues. Wait No More tells Kelly and John Rosati's story of experiencing God more fully through the great blessings and challenges encountered during their journey to adopt four children from the U.S. foster care system. It is a story of God's faithfulness to grow a beautiful family, through adoption, from the ashes of child abuse, neglect, and abandonment. The Rosatis strongly believe that God's solution for orphaned children in the foster care system involves ordinary Christians desiring to live out an authentic pro-life commitment requiring action, not just words. Their story reveals how their beliefs challenged, enriched, and completely changed their family's life

Countries […] if they cannot have God on their side, at least would like to have the Pope there«, urteilte Stewart Stehlin schon 1983 pointiert über die Zeit der Pontifikate Benedikts XV. (1914–1922) und Pius' XI. (1922–1939). Tatsächlich schien der Heilige Stuhl mit dem Ersten Weltkrieg maßgeblich an politischer Bedeutung zu gewinnen, stieg doch die Zahl der bei ihm akkreditierten diplomatischen Vertretungen von 14 (1914) über 24 (1921) auf 37 (1938), darunter auch diejenigen der europäischen Mächte Frankreich, England, Italien und Portugal, die 1914 noch auf eigene Diplomaten verzichtet hatten. Doch welche Rolle spielte der Heilige Stuhl in den politischen Überlegungen der Mächte vor der »Urkatastrophe des 20. Jahrhunderts« (George F. Kennan)? Waren seine eigenen Vorstellungen von religiösen oder von politischen Überlegungen geleitet? Waren diese beiden Dimensionen überhaupt zu trennen? Und wie äußerte sich seine politische Macht in der europäischen Zwischenkriegszeit? Der Band geht der Rolle des Heiligen Stuhls in den internationalen Beziehungen zwischen 1870 und 1939 nach. Er fragt nach den Zielsetzungen einzelner Staaten genauso wie nach denen der römischen Kurie. Anhand ausgewählter Probleme werden neueste Forschungsergebnisse präsentiert, die z.T. auf der Verfügbarkeit der vatikanischen Akten für den gesamten Pontifikat von Pius XI. seit Herbst 2006 beruhen. So entsteht das Bild eines Akteurs, der wie kein anderer im Zentrum der internationalen Beziehungen stand und damit auch die jeweilige Politik der einzelnen Staaten nachhaltig beeinflusste.

Up to the twentieth century, Islamic charitable endowments provided the material foundation of the Muslim world. In Lebanon, with the fall of the Ottoman Empire and the imposition of French colonial rule, many of these endowments reverted to private property circulating in the marketplace. In contemporary Beirut, however, charitable endowments have resurfaced as mosques, Islamic centers, and nonprofit organizations. A historical anthropology in dialogue with Islamic law, God's Property demonstrates how these endowments have been drawn into secular logics—no longer the property of God but of the Muslim community—and shaped by the modern state and modern understandings of charity and property. Although these transformations have produced new kinds of loyalties and new ways of being in society, Moumtaz's ethnography reveals the furtive persistence of endowment practices that perpetuate older ways of thinking of one's self and one's responsibilities toward family and state.

Na 2013 dreigt de Europese landbouwpolitiek verder te worden afgebroken. Vanaf 2014 wil men vergaand liberaliseren; de markt moet dan alle landbouwproblemen oplossen. In 'De landbouw tussen voedselcrises en overschotten' wordt aangegeven dat dit niet de juiste weg is. Eerst wordt in het kort de geschiedenis en de achtergrond van de landbouwpolitiek beschreven. Daarnaast worden de eigenschappen van de landbouw met zijn miljoenen kleine gezinsbedrijven - zonder marktmacht - uiteengezet. Dit boek laat zien dat er een Europese landbouwpolitiek mogelijk is die veel minder kost, goede overlevingskansen biedt voor de Europese landbouw en beter is voor het milieu en de derde wereld. Harm Schelhaas is oud-voorzitter van het Productschap voor Zuivel; hij promoveerde in 2003 aan de Vrije Universiteit op het proefschrift: Liberalisatie in de landbouw. Cees van Bruchem is senior wetenschappelijk onderzoeker bij het Landbouw Economisch Instituut. Hij was een aantal jaren namens de ChristenUnie lid van de Eerste Kamer

Thanks to the machinations of the right, there is no dirtier word in American politics today than "liberal"--yet public opinion polls consistently show that the majority of Americans hold liberal views on everything from health care to foreign policy. In this feisty, accessible primer, journalist and scholar Alterman sets out to restore liberalism to its rightful honored place in our political life as the politics of America's everyday citizens. In a crisply argued though extensively documented counterattack on right-wing spin and misinformation, Alterman briskly disposes of such canards as "Liberals Hate God" and "Liberals Are Soft on Terrorism," reclaiming liberalism from the false definitions foisted upon it by the right and repeated everywhere else. This book brings clarity and perspective to what has often been a one-sided debate for nothing less than the heart and soul of America.--From publisher description

What is hate and why is there so much of it? How does it originate, and what can we do about it? This book opens with a discussion of how hate makes its presence felt in the real world, discussing various definitions and theories of hate. Next it describes a duplex - two-part - theory of hate. According to the first part of the theory, hate has three components: negation of intimacy, passion, and commitment. According to the second part of the theory, this structure of hate originates from stories people create about the target - that, say, a group comprises enemies of God, or monsters, or vermin, or power-crazy tyrants, or any of a number of other stories. The authors discuss hate in the context of interpersonal relationships, survey the role of propaganda in inciting hate and analyze the role of hate in instigating terrorism, massacres, and genocides
