Disability's Challenge to Theology uses insights from disability studies to understand in a deeper way the ethical implications that genetic technologies pose for Christian thought. Theologians have been debating genetic engineering for decades, but what has been missing from many theological debates is a deep concern for persons with genetic disabilities. In this ambitious and stimulating book, Devan Stahl argues that engagement with metaphysics and a theology of nature is crucial for Christians to evaluate both genetic science and the moral use of genetic technologies, such as human genetic engineering, gene therapy, genetic screenings, preimplantation genetic diagnosis, and gene editing. Using theological notions of creation ex nihilo and natural law alongside insights from disability studies, Stahl seeks to recast the debate concerning genetic well-being. Following the work of Stanley Hauerwas, Stahl proposes the church as the locus for reimagining disability in a way that will significantly influence the debates concerning genetic therapies. Christianity has all too frequently been complicit in excluding, degrading, and marginalizing people with disabilities, but the new Christian metaphysics developed here provides normative, theological guidance on the use of genetic technologies today. Only by heeding the voices of people with disabilities can Christians remain faithful to the call to find Christ in "the least of these" and from there draw closer to God.

Sometimes the best man isn't even in the wedding party...Gavin Greene is a hopeless romantic. He's also a professional one: he writes the wedding column for a Pulitzer Prize-winning newspaper, covering spectacular parties from coast to coast. But there's a thin line between being a hotshot reporter on assignment...and being a single guy alone on a Saturday night at someone else's wedding.Everything changes on New Year's when Gavin meets Melinda, a travel writer with enchanting dimples. A moonlit stroll across a Manhattan rooftop seals the deal. Until an Aussie with attitude swoops in and whisks her away before Gavin gets her number.Gavin crisscrosses New York City to find her again. And he learns that there's something worse than losing the woman of his dreams: Having to write an article about her wedding.
Take a delightful detour with this novel by the author of The Wedding Beat and a writer of The New York Times's "Vows" column... The shortest distance between soul mates isn't always a straight line.... When Austin Gittleman first met Naomi Bloom, they were grammar school classmates and she pasted pictures of him in her Barbie Dreamhouse. Those days are long gone. Austin is a Midwestern doctor who always tries to do the right thing--even if it often turns out wrong. Naomi is a Miami pastry chef with a taste for adventure. They seem to have nothing in common. But that doesn't stop Austin from falling head over heels when they reconnect at a mutual friend's seaside wedding. Only, falling hard doesn't guarantee happily ever after, or even a second date. Tropical storms and mechanical malfunctions contribute to a series of miscommunications and missed connections that lead Austin and Naomi away from each other and back again. In The Scenic Route, life is what happens on the way to where you're going. It's unpredictable and inconvenient, but it can be pretty wonderful when you bring the right person along for the ride.

A broken man is found in the arctic and becomes the leader in a world expedition. Clairvoyant tracks the many chapters in one man's experience. As tragedy and adventure weave through the course of his life, he is taken where he never expected and most likely, where he'll never return from.
Now, it's been said that superstitions will always remain preeminent over facts. That a rumor will linger far after its owner is dead and gone. Some have even said that legends sell more papers than facts. It makes sense then, why there are so many legends about the short lived, yet explosive, era of the Wild West. But I am here to testify that truth is stranger than fiction.This is the story, as orderly as I can tell, about the events of Superstition Mountain and the gold mine therein. This story has only three characters: the godforsaken mine, every fool that died goin' after it, and me. In the South-west of what is now Arizona, lies a mountain. It's not a mountain in the most traditional sense of the word. There's no triangular peak, certainly no snow. It looked kind of like a razorback hog, all jagged with stacks and piles of rock. It was full of thorns and cactus as if the ground were never meant to be lived on...

Ecology of Fire-Dependent Ecosystems

Ecology of Fire-Dependent Ecosystems is brimming with intriguing ecological stories of how life has evolved with and diversified within the varied fire regimes that are experienced on earth. Moreover, the book places itself as a communication between students, fire scientists, and fire fighters, and each of these groups will find some familiar ground, and some challenging aspects in this text: something which ultimately will help to bring us closer together and enrich our different approaches to understanding and managing our changing planet.-- Sally Archibald, Professor, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South AfricaMost textbooks are as dry as kindling and about as much fun to sink your teeth into. This is not that kind of textbook. Devan Allen McGranahan and Carissa L. Wonkka have taken a complex topic and somehow managed to synthesize it into a comprehensive, yet digestible form. This is a book you can read cover to cover – I know, I did it. As a result, I took an enlightening journey through the history and fundamentals of fire and its role in the natural and human world, ending with a thoughtful review of the evolving relationship between humans and wildland fire.-- Chris Helzer, Nebraska Director of Science, The Nature Conservancy, and author of The Prairie Ecologist blogEcology of Fire-Dependent Ecosystems: Wildland Fire Science, Policy, and Management is intended for use in upper-level courses in fire ecology and wildland fire management and as a reference for researchers, managers, and other professionals involved with wildland fire science, practice, and policy. The book helps guide students and scientists to design and conduct robust wildland fire research projects and critically interpret and apply fire science in any management, education, or policy situation. It emphasizes variability in wildland fire as an ecological regime and provides tools for students, researchers, and managers to assess and connect fire environment and fire behaviour to fire effects. Fire has not only shaped social and ecological communities but pushed ecosystems beyond previous boundaries, yet understanding the nature and effects of fire as an ecological disturbance has been slow, hampered by the complexity of the dynamic interactions between vegetation and climate and the fear of the destruction fire can bring. This book will help those who study, manage, and use wildland fire to develop new answers and novel solutions, based on an understanding of how fire functions in natural and social environments. It reviews literature, synthesizes concepts, and identifies research gaps and policy needs. The text also explores the interaction of fire and human culture, demonstrating how fire policy can be made adaptable to cultural and socio-ecological objectives.
