Blair's community, available in paperback for the first time, is an exciting and timely book which challenges the accepted wisdom about the role of communitarian thought in the development of New Labour under Tony Blair. From the mid-1990s there has been a widespread view that Labour policies have reflected, or even been influenced by, the work of communitarian writers like Amitai Etzioni and John MacMurray, and philosophers such as Alasdair MacIntyre and Michael Sandel. The book begins by establishing that such a view was widely, and frequently unquestioningly, held, in both popular and academic forums. It then identifies reasons for the persistence of this impression, the evidence on which it was based, and the understandings of communitarianism used by commentators. The book argues that existing accounts of New Labour's communitarianism' fail to present an accurate picture because they are - in some cases explicitly - working with a generic or composite conception of communitarianism which bears little relation to the work of the communitarian writers whose names have been associated with the party.

Vad händer om vattnet tystnar?Föreställ dig en värld där regnet aldrig faller, där floder sinar och haven inte längre sjunger sin eviga sång. Vatten är livets puls, en urkraft som rör sig genom allt levande – men det är också en budbärare, en spegel av vår själ och en port till djupare insikter.I Utveckla din spiritualitet – Vatten tar vi oss in i vattnets dolda dimensioner och dess förmåga att hela, rena och transformera. Genom sex författares personliga resor får vi följa med på en flödande berättelse om livets ebb och flod – från djupa kriser till andligt uppvaknande, från rädsla till tillit, från stagnation till frihet.· Vad kan vattnet lära oss om att släppa kontrollen och följa livets flöde?· Hur kan vi använda vattnets energi för att balansera det feminina och maskulina inom oss?· Hur bär vatten vårt kollektiva minne och hur kan vi lyssna till dess budskap?Med inspiration från uråldrig visdom, vetenskap och spirituella ceremonier öppnar denna bok dörren till ett nytt sätt att se på vatten – inte bara som en fysisk substans, utan som en levande, medveten energi som kan vägleda oss.Låt denna bok bli din kompass i livets flöde – en påminnelse om att du alltid är en del av något större, alltid i rörelse.Välkommen att dyka djupare in i Utveckla din spiritualitet – Vatten!Medförfattare: Carina Brandberg, Emma Vendel, Hyun-Hee Malin Svensson, Mari Linderhielm, Sarah Hale, Yvonne Frank Månsson

Annabeth Lorton opened her red puffy eyes. Her wedding dress hung on the door of her closet, seemingly mocking her. The bouquet that looked so fresh last evening was limp and draping over the dressing table, headed for the floor. It was the perfect depiction of how she felt. Cast aside and thrown to the ground. The life drained from her.The events of last evening's near wedding played over in her head. How could this have happened? How could she have been so wrong? Jonathan Taylor had been a long-time friend; and when they began courting, it all seemed like a fairy tale. It quickly became a nightmare when a young woman in the crowd couldn't hold her peace and begged Jonathan not to go through with the wedding.What a fool Annabeth was. Well, she wasn't going to stay and be the laughing stock of Charleston's high society. She didn't belong there anyway. She belonged far away from the city. She belonged in the West. South Dakota would be the perfect place to start over and start her own business. In the vast open spaces, she could start anew and leave the past behind. Or could she?Settled in her new surroundings, Annabeth thrives, with her very own bakery and a new suitor. Soon her past meets up with her present when Jonathan follows her West to make amends. Both men pursue her love and trust, but could the drifter working in her bakery become her future?

Lachlan Kennedy removed his coat and settled into his seat. The train west would soon be leaving. He closed his eyes in silent prayer, dwelling on his favorite verse: "Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest unto your soul. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." He found the words to be true. The best decision of his life was to slip under the yoke of salvation. His burdens had been many, but God always provided rest. Life had dealt him yet another blow. He had plowed through, weathering the storm, and now he was seeking that promised rest in the home of his longtime friend in the Dakota Territory. Sitting just five seats away was Lachlan's next battle. The three unsuspecting Westgate girls were headed to the same place. They too were seeking rest and a new beginning. Jamie Westgate was finally able to break away from a past dominated by men. The teaching job out west was her ticket to freedom, and she was dragging her late husband's cousin Cathleen and her daughter Amelia with her. When a sudden confrontation on the train takes Lachlan by surprise, his response leaves the trio in a whirlwind of emotion. One detested him, one admired him, and one loved him with all her heart. Can the four reside in the same place and find the rest they need?
