And DeLarouge will do whatever it takes to ensure that Gremlaw agrees. Forced into a dangerous mission, Gremlaw unknowingly takes the first steps of his hero's journey, willing to risk his life in order to protect the only two people he loves. The Spaces in Between is a fantasy adventure full of magic and intrigue, testing the boundaries of the human mind and the complexities of the heart.

But he soon learns that gifts can also be curses, and when he is abducted and imprisoned by the Lavashians, his power may in fact be the end of him. A solid read that surprises and inspires, Gremlaw's tale will keep you guessing and hoping until the final page.

As he runs back to inform the hunting pack, he formulates a plan that just might save them all from annihilation but in so doing he stakes a claim to being one of the tribe's new leaders and incurs deadly jealousies. Torn between love and loyalty, Dau-Laki becomes an integral player in a chain of events which will eventually lead to one of the greatest discoveries of pre-history.

Gavin Hyman explores in depth two antithetical schools of postmodern theology--the "radical orthodoxy" of John Milbank and the "nihilist textualism" of Don Cupitt. Hyman critiques Milbank's influential project from a postmodern perspective, and then points out the major difficulties with Cupitt's approach. Finally, he explores the work of Mark C. Taylor and Michael de Certeau to articulate a "third way" that leads beyond the responses of both Cupitt and Milbank.
Winner of the Alice Hanson Jones Prize, Economic History AssociationA Choice Outstanding Academic Title of the YearThe civil rights movement was also a struggle for economic justice, one that until now has not had its own history. Sharing the Prize demonstrates the significant material gains black southerners made—in improved job opportunities, quality of education, and health care—from the 1960s to the 1970s and beyond. Because black advances did not come at the expense of southern whites, Gavin Wright argues, the civil rights struggle was that rarest of social revolutions: one that benefits both sides.“Wright argues that government action spurred by the civil-rights movement corrected a misfiring market, generating large economic gains that private companies had been unable to seize on their own.”—The Economist“Written…with the care and imagination [Wright] displayed in his superb work on slavery and the southern economy since the Civil War, this excellent economic history offers the best empirical account to date of the effects the civil rights revolution had on southern labor markets, schools, and other important institutions…With much of the nation persuaded that a post-racial age has begun, Wright’s analytical history…takes on fresh urgency.”—Ira Katznelson, New York Review of Books
