Book Description
The authors of this book look at the relationships in different provincial settings, focusing on Ontario, Quebec and Saskatchewan, examining the defining influence of government welfare programmes on the lives of two local religious orders in Atlantic Canada. The authors argue that both the public and the nonprofit sectors are changing. In the public sector, the traditional dominance of central governments has given way to a governance system that interweaves action at the global, national, regional and local levels. In the nonprofit sector, groups are assuming new organizational forms and engaging in public policy more centrally, both as advocates and service providers. Not surprisingly, relations between these two sectors involve a complex series of delicate dances, in which mis-steps by either partner can produce tangled confusion.

Book Description
Drawing on data gathered through a three-year autoethnography, A Delicate Dance couples the author's experiences teaching multicultural education and learning to zydeco dance in order to explore semblances of intimacy across self and other. More specifically, the book looks at semblances of intimacy embodied on the dance floor and the implications such intimacy might have for thinking about curriculum and qualitative research. This lively narrative encourages readers to consider what it might mean to envision curriculum as an embodied locale - much like zydeco dancing - where the play of epistemological forces replaces technocratic force; and where students experience the relative weight of desire, fear, and knowledge, the reciprocal touch of self and other, and the mysterious momentum of the semblance of intimacy.

Book Description
The Delicate Dance: Living White Being Black A Memoir By: Paula Heariold-Kinney Societal forces that shaped her life as a black woman impact Paula’s life. She finds herself attempting to fit into a dominant white society. She describes events from childhood to present that contributed to her life experiences. She addresses her parents’ endeavors to teach her how to assimilate and to value the white culture in order to succeed in life. She finds herself concealing her cultural identify when she is in an all-white environment. A hurtful childhood encounter shaped her mindset in believing being black was a negative attribute. As a four-year-old, she experienced a very negative situation, which launched the beginning of a trajectory that compelled her to transform her life, by assiduously working diligently to assimilate into a white society. She captivates the love and strong foundation of growing up in a black family. Yet the complexity of doing a “delicate dance” between two cultures was not without anguish. Paula shares both her outward journey and her inward journey. Although she becomes a successful professional woman, it was fraught with experiencing emotional, mental, and psychological consequences.

Book Description
"As they move into their middle years, women and men religious and clergy find that their needs for intimacy escalate. Their earlier understandings of sexuality and intimacy, taught to them during the time of pre-Vatican II Church and society, no longer answer their questions. This compassionate book lays bare their struggles, exposes their questions, and offers answers by vowed celibates themselves in their search for authenticity." "Based on her fifteen years of experience with vowed celibates, combined with original research with 333 individuals, psychologist Sheila Murphy sheds new light on the practice of intimacy among women and men who were expressly forbidden to develop "particular friendships," and shows what they are now thinking and doing to incorporate a meaningful understanding of sexuality and intimacy into their personal lives. In so doing, the author also reveals how in many ways these individuals are psychologically healthier in their relationships than women and men in other life situations." "A Delicate Dance is filled with scores of personal stories that bring to life the doubts and convictions, the humanity and the love of Catholic clergy and religious today. It is an honest open forum that invites other vowed celibates to begin talking more freely about these important but previously unspoken topics."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Description
Human and demon, heaven and hell, battle for the fate of the world . . . The demons that could control stones and elementals have been defeated, but the most powerful of Simon Wong’s associates still remains to create almost undetectable copies of humans and Shen. This demon allies with Kitty Kwok to prepare a torturous trap for Emma and Simone, from which they may never return. Wudang Mountain is enveloped by dark foreboding as Xuan Wu begins to reappear—sometimes human, sometimes turtle, but always without memory. Emma and Simone are in a race against time as they try to rescue Xuan Wu . . . before the demons capture him.
