Teresa of Calcutta

Teresa of Calcutta

Jon M. Sweeney

Liturgical Press
2022
pokkari
Most people living in the last quarter of the twentieth century knew Mother Teresa by name and appearance. They could also identify her as the saint of the gutters of Calcutta. Two years after her death, she was still recognized as “the most admired person of the century.” So, what is there still to say about her? Quite a bit, as it turns out. The story of both her public and private lives remains little known, and we continue to grapple with the extraordinary things she did, as well as the way that she interpreted the vocation of any would-be follower of Jesus. This biography shows Mother Teresa as the first great saint of television. We came to know her on the screen, and, as such, we felt we knew her in a way that we could not have known the saints before her. Presented in three parts, this biography looks at the preparation, the call, and the legacy of the extraordinary woman whom Pope Francis named Saint Teresa of Calcutta in 2016.

The New Colored People

The New Colored People

Jon M. Spencer; Richard E. Vander Ross

New York University Press
1997
sidottu
With a foreword by Richard E. Vander Ross In recent years, dramatic increases in racial intermarriage have given birth to a generation who refuse to be shoehorned into neat, pre-existing racial categories. Energized by a refusal to allow mixed-race people to be rendered invisible, this movement lobbies aggressively to have the category multiracial added to official racial classifications. While applauding the self-awareness and activism at the root of this movement, Jon Michael Spencer questions its ultimate usefulness, deeply concerned that it will unintentionally weaken minority power. Focusing specifically on mixed-race blacks, Spencer argues that the mixed-race movement in the United States would benefit from consideration of how multiracial categories have evolved in South Africa. Americans, he shows us, are deeply uninformed about the tragic consequences of the former white South African government's classification of mixed-race people as Coloured. Spencer maintains that a multiracial category in the U.S. could be equally tragic, not only for blacks but formultiracials themselves. Further, splintering people of color into such classifications of race and mixed race aggravates race relations among society's oppressed. A group that can attain some privilege through a multiracial identity is unlikely to identify with the lesser status group, blacks. It may be that the undoing of racial classification will come not by initiating a new classification, but by our increased recognition that there are millions of people who simply defy easy classification.

Phyllis Tickle

Phyllis Tickle

Jon M. Sweeney

CHURCH PUBLISHING INC
2018
sidottu
The definitive biography of one of the most beloved and respected figures in American religious life.In this comprehensive biography, Jon Sweeney, official biographer of Tickle’s literary estate, explores every aspect of her life, a more than 50-year legacy of poetry; plays; literary, spiritual, and historical/theological work; and advocacy. Sweeney examines Tickle’s personal and professional roots, from her family, long marriage, and life on The Farm in Lucy, Tennessee, to early academic career and move into book publishing, where her role as founding editor of the Religion Department at Publishers Weekly influenced the growth of spiritual writing and interfaith understanding during the 1990s. Sweeney also looks at pivotal relationships with John Shelby Spong, Marcus Borg, and Brian McLaren, as well as her great influence on the increasing number who adopted fixed-hour prayer, the Episcopal Church as a whole, and the Emerging Church, for which she served as historian, forecaster, and champion. A look at her early, passionate advocacy for the LGBT community, lecture circuit controversies, and projects left unfinished completes the picture.

Who Owns the Crown Lands of Hawai'i?

Who Owns the Crown Lands of Hawai'i?

Jon M.Van Dyke

University of Hawai'i Press
2008
sidottu
The 1846 Mahele (division) transformed the lands of Hawai'i from a shared value into private property, but left many issues unresolved. Kauikeaouli (Kamehameha III) agreed to the Mahele, which divided all land among the mo'i (king), the ali'i (chiefs), and the maka'ainana (commoners), in the hopes of keeping the lands in Hawaiian hands even if a foreign power claimed sovereignty over the Islands. The king's share was further divided into Government and Crown Lands, the latter managed personally by the ruler until a court decision in 1864 and a statute passed in 1865 declared that they could no longer be bought or sold by the mo'i and should be maintained intact for future monarchs. After the illegal overthrow of the monarchy in 1893, Government and Crown Lands were joined together, and after annexation in 1898 they were managed as a public trust by the United States. At statehood in 1959, all but 373,720 acres of Government and Crown Lands were transferred to the State of Hawai'i. The legal status of Crown Lands remains controversial and misunderstood to this day. In this engrossing work, Jon Van Dyke describes and analyzes in detail the complex cultural and legal history of Hawai'i's Crown Lands. He argues that these lands must be examined as a separate entity and their unique status recognized. Government Lands were created to provide for the needs of the general population; Crown Lands were part of the personal domain of Kamehameha III and evolved into a resource designed to support the mo'i, who in turn supported the Native Hawaiian people. The question of who owns Hawai'i's Crown Lands today is of singular importance for Native Hawaiians in their quest for recognition and sovereignty, and this volume will become a primary resource on a fundamental issue underlying Native Hawaiian birthrights.

As part of a 10-year long collaborative effort by all of the local chiropractors, Dr. Ketcham contributed articles once or twice a year to The Meadville Tribune's monthly HealthBeat column. Then, following the submission of his article, simply titled, "Success," he was invited to pen a column of his own, in the forthcoming "Active for Life" quarterly supplement to The Meadville Tribune, and given free reign to philosophize. Those articles, which ran from 2009 until 2013, supplemented by a few select, newer thoughts, form the basis of this work.

The Reach for the Ring

The Reach for the Ring

Jon M Ketcham

Abiyd Publishing Company
2020
pokkari
When I began my journey 42 years ago, there was no internet. Everything I learned about bodybuilding and weight training came from reading muscle magazines and any books I could lay my hands on, personal experimentation and listening to the experiences of others. Much of what I read and listened to was based more upon myths and folklore than actual reality. With the advent of the internet and literally unlimited amounts of information at our fingertips, sadly, very little has changed. The more things change, the more they stay the same actually. This is not your basic "how to" guide to exercising. The Reach for the Ring assumes a fundamental understanding of weight training, bodybuilding, etc. I will not be covering basic terminology like sets and reps nor will I be covering most exercises and their proper performance. There are a plethora of books and internet websites that already cover those topics in far greater detail and much more eloquently than I could ever hope to. What The Reach for the Ring has to offer that the others do not is my 42 years of experience in the realms of bodybuilding and weight training, the nuances and tidbits that can take your training to the next level, along with numerous stories and anecdotes that I have accumulated over the years that can make your training more meaningful and productive. Packed with routines and diets from my competitive career through to today, The Reach for the Ring is a treasure trove of useful information.

How AI, Metaverses, Crypto, and Cyber will Upend the 21st Century

Jon M. Garon

EDWARD ELGAR PUBLISHING LTD
2024
sidottu
This book explores the metamorphosis of fundamental social interactions and communal experiences, fuelled by technologies such as artificial intelligence, immersive online environments, augmented reality, blockchain, crypto and FinTech. It examines the competitors, regulators and governments who are locked in a struggle to control the economic and social future shaped by these technologies. Jon M. Garon tracks the evolution of the internet, video games, AI and emerging technologies as they converge into the transformative communications and commercial platform now known as the metaverse. He explains how each transformation in media influences and reshapes culture, and proposes ways in which metaverse platforms could operate in the public sphere. The book also discusses the efforts of governments across China, Europe and the United States to regulate the multinational companies responsible for these technologies, as well as comparing the conflicting views among states on what the metaverse should be. Providing practical guidance on the adoption of regulations in employment and educational settings, this book is essential reading for students, scholars and practitioners of antitrust and competition law, cyberspace law, finance and banking law, internet studies, and regulation and governance.
