One of the challenges of reading 1 Corinthians these days is that its style seems foreign to us and many of its passages seem irrelevant to us today. On the other hand, many of the passages have become too familiar, overly authoritative and too oppressively close for comfort in the lives of many Christians. Cyss uses the insights of hermeneutics and other critical methods to offer a new reading of Paul's letter for our day. since much of the letter discusses decisions that have been made or ought to be made by the Corinthians about people, beliefs, behaviours, and situations, Cyss reads 1 Corinthians in terms of discernment and judgement.

Eben Venter: Cornelia Fick is a writer who is mastering the art of observation to give us stories that throw open the lives of the hidden, the down-trodden and the lesser people.Set in contemporary South Africa, Eye of a Needle investigates the complex relationships between men and women, and among women.

What we don’t know can hurt us—and does so every day. Climate change, health care policy, weapons of mass destruction, an aging infrastructure, stem cell research, endangered species, space exploration—all affect our lives as citizens and human beings in practical and profound ways. But unless we understand the science behind these issues, we cannot make reasonable decisions—and worse, we are susceptible to propaganda cloaked in scientific rhetoric. To convey the facts, this book suggests, scientists must take a more active role in making their work accessible to the media, and thus to the public. In Am I Making Myself Clear? Cornelia Dean, a distinguished science editor and reporter, urges scientists to overcome their institutional reticence and let their voices be heard beyond the forum of scholarly publication. By offering useful hints for improving their interactions with policymakers, the public, and her fellow journalists, Dean aims to change the attitude of scientists who scorn the mass media as an arena where important work is too often misrepresented or hyped. Even more important, she seeks to convince them of the value and urgency of communicating to the public.Am I Making Myself Clear? shows scientists how to speak to the public, handle the media, and describe their work to a lay audience on paper, online, and over the airwaves. It is a book that will improve the tone and content of debate over critical issues and will serve the interests of science and society.
A Los Angeles Times Book Prize FinalistMost of us learn about science from media coverage, and anyone seeking factual information on climate change, vaccine safety, genetically modified foods, or the dangers of peanut allergies has to sift through an avalanche of bogus assertions, misinformation, and carefully packaged spin. Cornelia Dean draws on thirty years of experience as a science reporter at the New York Times to expose the tricks that handicap readers with little background in science. She reveals how activists, business spokespersons, religious leaders, and talk show hosts influence the way science is reported and describes the conflicts of interest that color research. At a time when facts are under daily assault, Making Sense of Science seeks to equip nonscientists with a set of critical tools to evaluate the claims and controversies that shape our lives.“Making Sense of Science explains how to decide who is an expert, how to understand data, what you need to do to read science and figure out whether someone is lying to you… If science leaves you with a headache trying to figure out what’s true, what it all means and who to trust, Dean’s book is a great place to start.”—Casper Star-Tribune“Fascinating… Its mission is to help nonscientists evaluate scientific claims, with much attention paid to studies related to health.”—Seattle Times“This engaging book offers non-scientists the tools to connect with and evaluate science, and for scientists it is a timely call to action for effective communication.”—Times Higher Education
The geopolitics of American law enforcement and how it changed corporate criminal accountability in other countriesOver the past decade, many of the world’s biggest companies have found themselves embroiled in legal disputes over corruption, fraud, environmental damage, tax evasion, or sanction violations. Corporations including Volkswagen, BP, and Credit Suisse have paid record-breaking fines. Many critics of globalization and corporate impunity cheer this turn toward accountability. Others, however, question American dominance in legal battles that seem to impose domestic legal norms beyond national boundaries. In this book, Cornelia Woll examines the politics of American corporate criminal law’s extraterritorial reach. As governments abroad seek to respond to US law enforcement actions against their companies, they turn to flexible legal instruments that allow prosecutors to settle a case rather than bring it to court. With her analysis of the international and domestic politics of law enforcement targeting big business, Woll traces the rise of what she calls “negotiated corporate justice” in global markets.Woll charts the path to this shift through case studies of geopolitical tensions and accusations of “economic lawfare,” pitting the United States against the European Union, China, and Japan. She then examines the reactions to the new legal landscape, describing institutional changes in the common law countries of the United Kingdom and Canada and the civil law countries of France, Brazil, and Germany. Through an insightful interdisciplinary analysis of how the prosecution of corporate crime has evolved in the twenty-first century, Woll demonstrates the profound transformation of the relationship between states and private actors in world markets, showing that law is part of economic statecraft in the connected global economy.

The Wreck of the Saginaw: The Account Left by her Captain, Montgomery Sicard

It started with a manuscript left in a desk... October 29, 1870: A 155-foot Navy steam sloop has just completed her mission - widen the entrance to a harbor for ships in the China trade. Before returning to San Francisco, however, her captain decides to make a detour. To the most remote island in the Hawaiian chain, to be sure no one is shipwrecked there. But they hit a reef in the dark; now, they're shipwrecked themselves. When they don't turn up in San Francisco a rescue ship will be sent out, but they'll be looking for the crew in the wrong place - on the island they left the day before. This is a survivor's account of the crew's desperate attempts to save themselves, given by the captain to his cousin and left in a desk drawer. A true story, published a century and a half after the wreck by members of the captain's family. Relevant today because where the men were shipwrecked was like the ends of the earth in 1870; they may as well have been shipwrecked on Mars. This book includes George H. Read's THE LAST CRUISE of the SAGINAW. For information about the authors' other books and behind-the-scenes photos, please visit www.SinghaBooks.com.

During the post-cold war world, the world's only superpower has encountered an unprecedented challenge: a non-state enemy that is challenging its hegemony and is using violence as a strategic means. Given the international nature of this phenomenon, a structured explanation such as this is given added necessity and urgency. Cornelia Beyer provides a structured explanation for terrorism and its links with the 'Global War on Terror' as it relates to the latter's broader context, causes and implications. She offers a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon of international terrorism and proposes effective policies to counter it. She also remedies the current undertheorized nature of the subject area, and in doing so opens up new modes of thinking about and struggling against global terrorism.
