Growing up in the crime-ridden streets of Los Angeles' South Central, Darrell Gartrell could easily have become just another statistic. But a backpacking journey across Europe changed his fortunes forever. Eventually, he landed in Osaka. There, he became the first African-American to teach English focused primarily on urban culture. His academy, called Wisdom21, was an instant hit. But doing business in Japan was to come at a heavy price, and Darrell's unlikely success meant that he attracted, not only the upper echelons of polite society, but of the feared 'yakuza' (Japanese mafia) as well. Darrell shares his experiences here, in 21 Years of Wisdom - One Man's Extraordinary Odyssey in Japan. His story is a poignant African-American biography and penetrating Japan travel memoir; chronicling a fight for survival in a strange land; paving the way for those in search of wisdom--in the 21st century.

Reframing Disease Contextually will be of particular interest to philosophers of medicine, bioethicists, and philosophers. It may also be of value to medical professionals, historians of western medicine, and health policy makers who take interest in the conceptual foundations of medicine. This book: - provides an overview of key debates in the history of modern western medicine on the nature, knowledge, and value of disease; - illustrates how these debates relate; - provides a "contextual" or "localized" way of understanding disease; - includes case studies of e.g. AIDS, genetic disease, and gendered disease; - conveys the importance of the intersection and interrelation between and among factors that make up disease; - illustrates how bioethical discussions about disease naming, classification, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment are part of a much greater discussion in philosophy of medicine.
COUNTERPUNCH is a contemporary novel set in Chicago. Dominic is a boxing promoter with issues: he has integrity, and he's surrounded by people and situations lacking same. Yet the novel is funny. How could anyone not survive Chicago politics, boxing, disingenuous people and (spoiler alert) loss?

It is the early 1900's in rural Mississippi along Cohay Creek, where people are scarce and stately virgin pine timber is plentiful. Caleb Smitherlin, a talented blacksmith, has a wife dying of cancer and a teenage son who tries every way possible to please his critical father. Caleb is torn. On the one hand, he loves Mathilda with every bone in his body, but on the other, he needs the company of another woman.The Gypsies he allows to camp on his land near Cohay Creek receive hate and distrust from the people of Taylorsburg. Walthere, the Gypsy leader, and Rosalie, his wife, become close friends of the Smitherlin family, even though Gypsies rarely mix with people outside their clan and especially not gentiles. Esmeralda, the Gypsy fortune teller, encourages Red Felty's idea that his wife Ruby and Caleb Smitherlin are having an affair. The old Mayhew house on the edge of the slave cemetery is the perfect place for Ruby and her lover to meet. This story is filled with intrigue, adultery, drunkenness, bitterness, fights, sweetness, friendship, and some history-all woven together with phrases that will make you feel you are walking deep into the southern swamps of the Cohay Creek. You will find yourself listening for the sounds of the Cohay Swamp panther, wondering if there really is a slave cemetery and sharing the anger and desperation that Jeremy Smitherlin must feel with a dying mother and a father he cannot trust.Photo of Cohay Creek by David Dees, used with his permission.
Many of us are "always on"--scrolling through social media, checking email, or searching the web. New media spaces can be sites and instruments of God's unconditional love, but they can also nurture harmful conditions and become a source of anxiety, jealousy, and despondency. Always On provides useful tools for helping students and congregants understand the world of social media and engage it faithfully, enabling Christian communities to address its use in constructive, pastoral ways. The book includes discussion questions and sample exercises for each chapter.
- New Illustrated Edition.A fantasy? A fairy tale? An authentic, verifiable event? What really happened to fighter pilot John William Newman? A delicious dream, astral projection, a traumatic coma, a time/space distortion, an inter-dimensional bridge, a parallel universe, a dazzling hallucination; is he dead, or did it all really happen? A modern-day fairy tale In a realm where the real and metaphysical entwine, the fate of existence hangs in the balance. On a search-and-rescue mission, a fighter pilot encounters an Arctic disturbance and crash lands beneath the ice sheets of Greenland. He joins an elf, an oaf, and a feline knight on a quest to stop an amphibious madman from stealing the Omnipotent Indigo Orb. The creature obsesses night and day, yearning to use the sphere's potence to entomb all that is, all that was, and all that ever will be.
Ethical Choices in Contemporary Medicine

"Ethical Choices in Contemporary Medicine" jettisons the standard medical ethics models of "rights" language and shows how the bioethical problems that receive attention from the media and the public are related to and are explicable in terms of the epistemological foundations of science and medicine. These epistemological concerns include how medical knowledge is established (scientific validity), how medical protocols are administered (checks and balances), how medical certainty is evaluated (probability) and medical responsibility is framed (personal or collective), and how medical knowledge is transmitted (popular media versus professional journals) and how medical care is allocated (insurance policies and government subsides). The book examines the present predicaments of medicine within a broad cultural context and suggests that rational discourse and parochial ethical dialogue may be futile in the face of competing and incommensurable frameworks and agendas, attitudes and wishes. The authors show that, in the postmodern age, two interrelated issues surface when it comes to medicine. On the one hand, there is a strong critique of science and the privileges associated with the scientific discourse and, on the other, there is still a deep-seated quest for certainty in all medical matters.

The Spanish Civil War that began 17 July 1936 with Franco's military coup, did not end with the defeat of the supporters of the legal government 1 April 1939. From the moment the first shot was fired, the military insurgents embarked on a wave of massacre, torture and repression against half of the Spanish population that was terrorized, helpless for 40 years, until Franco's death in 1975. Aside from a brief lifting of the forced lid of silence in the 1950s, the rest of the world remains ignorant of the genocide that, closely modelled on Hitler's methods in Nazi Germany, led to the post-war slaughter of tens of thousands by firing squad or extra-legal methods buried, unidentified, by the hundreds in mass graves, many of which are only now being uncovered.Damnatio Memoriae, supported by dozens of eye-witness interviews, addresses this dark period in great detail as it sheds light on the repression that destroyed the lives of hundreds of thousands of dissenting men and women imprisoned for many years in more than 180 concentration camps, countless prisons and slave labour workers battalions where many died from torture, starvation and disease. Today, the surviving relatives of this half of the Spanish population, especially children who were taken from their parents to be re-educated, are attempting to identify the remains of the lost members of their families, give them some dignity in death, and obtain some closure to their pain.
