Evocative photographs and essay illuminate early American gravestones. Gravestones are colonial America's earliest sculpture and they provide a unique physical link to the European people who settled here. Carved in Stone book is an elegant collection of over 80 fine duotone photographs, each a personal meditation on an old stone carving, and on New England's past, where these stones tell stories about death at sea, epidemics such as small pox, the loss of children, and a grim view of the afterlife. The essay is a graceful narrative that explores a long personal involvement with the stones and their placement in New England landscape, and attempts to trace the curious and imperfectly documented story of carvers. Brief quotes from early New England writers accompany the images, and captions provide basic information about each stone. These meditative portraits present an intimate view of figures from New England graveyards and will be enjoyed by anyone with an interest in early Americana and fine art photography.

Rational Choice Marxism

Rational choice Marxism began with promises of clarity and rigour in the construction of historical explanations and social theories. Later it took a 'political turn' in addressing issues of class and production, and the prospects for electoral socialism. Rational Choice Marxism moves from founding classics -Erik Olin Wright's 'What is Analytical Marxism?' and Alan Carling's spirited challenge to the Marxist establishment — to the critical responses detailed by Ellen Meiksins Weod and Michael Burawoy in previously uncollected debates from New Left Review and Socialist Review. In 'Class, Production and Politics' Adam Przeworski puts rational choice methodology to work on the problem of contemporary electoral socialism. The collection contains critical response's to this from Desmond King and Mark Wickham-Jones (‘Social Democracy and Rational Choic~ Marxism'), and Michael Goldfield and Alan Gilbert ('The Limits of Rational Choice Theory'). Mark Warren writes definitively about 'Marx and Methodological Individualism', and Alan Carling tries to put rational choice Marxism and postmodern feminism into 'A More Meaningful Incomprehension'. In their introduction the editors argue that the clarity and rigour originally promised by the rational choice Marxists were never in fact achieved, but that rational choice Marxism has considerably enhanced the theoretical treatment of class and production in a world of commodification and difference.
Be like me While many parents and leaders are understandably hesitant to utter such words, they are vitally needed today in a world where positive role models are often few and far between. Yet in these Cycle A epistle texts, the Apostle Paul is not bashful about challenging Christians to follow his example and live distinctively different lives -- lives that reflect the image of the risen Christ. Gary Carver shares that vision, and these outstanding messages lay out for readers the belief that we can grow every day to be more like Jesus. Gary Carver preaches at a way station on an ancient pilgrim road, offering comfort and hope to the weary traveler.... In these compelling sermons, Gary preaches to the mixed band of pilgrims jostling our way along toward the goal of spiritual discovery, and he speaks to our fears and doubts, our longings and our need, and most of all to our hunger to be closer to one whose presence forms the end of our restless trek.... Read these wonderful sermons and enjoy them. But, more important, read these sermons and take courage as you move faithfully along the pilgrim way. (from the Foreword) Thomas G. Long Bandy Professor of Preaching Candler School of Theology, Emory University Someone has said that preaching is presenting the gospel through human personality. In this collection of well-crafted lectionary sermons, Gary Carver has ably presented the gospel -- his personality is evident in the richness of examples and illustrations. June McEwen Chair, Baptist Joint Committee on Public Affairs Washington DC Distinctively Different is a very contemporary collection of spirited and spiritual reflections. In a quiet dialogue with Gary Carver, you are invited to revive your theological commitments, reflect on difficult questions, and renew your faith perspective. Share these motivational and innovative thoughts with your Bible study or your prayer group. Claudia Highbaugh Chaplain Harvard Divinity School Preaching effectively to the same people week after week is one of the great challenges in Christian ministry. Gary Carver shows how it is done: biblical exposition, effective illustration, and relevant application. The power of these messages is that intellectual integrity is matched with passion.

Selbstbestimmung wurde in den 1990er Jahren zum einflussreichsten Konzept im Bereich der Entwicklungsst rungen in den Vereinigten Staaten. Von den experimentellen Anf ngen im s dwestlichen New Hampshire im Jahr 1993 arbeiteten im Jahr 2000 19 Bundesstaaten mit gro en Zusch ssen der Robert Wood Johnson Foundation - der Nationalen Initiative zur Selbstbestimmung von Menschen mit Entwicklungsst rungen - und 23 weitere mit kleinen Zusch ssen oder eigenen staatlichen Mitteln. Ziel dieser Arbeit war es, die Macht, die Autorit t und die Ressourcen des Einzelnen zu st rken, damit er sein Schicksal selbst in die Hand nehmen kann. Dieses Buch zeichnet die Urspr nge dieses revolution ren Konzepts anhand der Schriften von Tom Nerney und einigen seiner Kollegen nach. Es zeigt, dass die Art und Weise, wie wir bisher ber B rger mit Entwicklungsst rungen dachten und sie behandelten, sch dlich war - und dass eine echte B rgerrechtsbewegung notwendig war. Mehr als zwei Jahrzehnte strenger wissenschaftlicher Studien haben gezeigt, dass die Ergebnisse dieser Machtverschiebung darin bestehen, dass sich die Lebensqualit t deutlich verbessern wird, w hrend die Kosten sinken oder gleich bleiben. Langfristig wird dies als der beste Weg akzeptiert werden, menschliche Dienstleistungen und Unterst tzungssysteme zu organisieren.
Negli anni '90 l'autodeterminazione diventata il concetto pi influente nel campo delle disabilit dello sviluppo negli Stati Uniti. Dai suoi inizi sperimentali nel New Hampshire sud-occidentale nel 1993, nel 2000 c'erano 19 Stati che lavoravano con grandi sovvenzioni della Robert Wood Johnson Foundation - l'Iniziativa nazionale sull'autodeterminazione per le persone con disabilit dello sviluppo - e altri 23 con piccole sovvenzioni o fondi statali propri. Questo lavoro stato progettato per aumentare il potere, l'autorit e le risorse degli individui per controllare il proprio destino. Questo libro ripercorre le origini di questo concetto rivoluzionario attraverso gli scritti di Tom Nerney e di alcuni suoi colleghi. Dimostra che il modo in cui in passato abbiamo pensato e trattato i cittadini con disabilit dello sviluppo stato pernicioso e che era necessario un vero e proprio movimento per i diritti civili. Pi di due decenni di studi scientifici rigorosi hanno dimostrato che i risultati di questo spostamento di potere sono che la qualit della vita migliorer nettamente, mentre i costi diminuiranno o rimarranno invariati. A lungo termine, questo sar accettato come il modo migliore per organizzare i servizi umani e i sistemi di supporto.
