Book Description
The increasing atomization of modern society has been accompanied by an enduring nostalgia for the idea of community as a source of security and belonging in an increasingly insecure world. Far from disappearing, community has been revived by transnationalism and by new kinds of individualism. Gerard Delanty begins this stimulating critical introduction to the concept with an analysis of the origins of the idea of community in Western utopian thought, and as a theme in classical sociology and anthropology. He goes on to chart the resurgence of the idea within communitarian thought and postmodern philosophies, the complications and critiques of multiculturalism, and new manifestations of community within a society where changing modes of communication produce both fragmentation and possibilities of new social bonds. Contemporary community, he argues, is essentially a communication community based on belonging and sharing, and can be a powerful voice of political opposition. The communities of today are less spatially bounded than those of the past, but they cannot dispense with the need for a sense of belonging. The communicative ties and cultural structures of contemporary societies have opened up numerous possibilities for belonging based on religion, nationalism, ethnicity, lifestyle and gender.

Book Description
Winner of the Kiriyama Pacific Rim Book Prize A New York Times Notable Book of the Year Winner of the Whiting Writers' Award A Seattle Post-Intelligencer Best Book of the Year Catfish and Mandala is the story of an American odyssey--a solo bicycle voyage around the Pacific Rim to Vietnam--made by a young Vietnamese-American man in pursuit of both his adopted homeland and his forsaken fatherland. Andrew X. Pham was born in Vietnam and raised in California. His father had been a POW of the Vietcong; his family came to America as "boat people." Following the suicide of his sister, Pham quit his job, sold all of his possessions, and embarked on a year-long bicycle journey that took him through the Mexican desert, around a thousand-mile loop from Narita to Kyoto in Japan; and, after five months and 2,357 miles, to Saigon, where he finds "nothing familiar in the bombed-out darkness." In Vietnam, he's taken for Japanese or Korean by his countrymen, except, of course, by his relatives, who doubt that as a Vietnamese he has the stamina to complete his journey ("Only Westerners can do it"); and in the United States he's considered anything but American. A vibrant, picaresque memoir written with narrative flair and an eye-opening sense of adventure, Catfish and Mandala is an unforgettable search for cultural identity.

Book Description
When we examine the Bible we find that God has always desired that we would One God, One Lord, One Church all be one with one another as He and Jesus are one. Jesus Himself prayed that we would all be one, John 17:11, 21, 23. God has desired that we the Church would operate from one law and one ordinance, Numbers 15:15. It is crucial that the Church come together as one because divided we fall and together we shall stand and the gates of hell shall not prevail against the Church.

Book Description
Unprecedented crises challenge humanity on all fronts, threatening to tear us apart, however, if past crises have taught us anything, it is that we are stronger in unity. Only then, can we learn from one another, grow, and shine even brighter. Together We Shine is a collection of real stories that demonstrates what happens when everyday people tear down walls and build deep, meaningful relationships with their neighbors. You'll meet a Buffalo firefighter, a retired priest, a former inmate, a refugee, a custodian, a deli owner and so many more amazing people who made a lasting, significant difference in their communities and in the lives of others. You'll also meet leaders, such as Dr. Claire Crane who, through grit and determination, brought a divided community together to spur profound change." "Little good deeds by individuals make a big difference in our community. Little good deeds done by a unified group can change the world." These stories prove that every one of us has the power to make the world a better place--if we're willing to open our hearts and connect with others. As we build those connections, new worlds are revealed to us, enlivening, enlightening, and strengthening communities."Human beings are capable of incredible things when they come together! People want to help and contribute to their community. It feels good! When we encourage partnerships, we are giving people opportunities." Tom Costin, former Mayor and Postmaster General of Lynn, MA

Book Description
This book provides a unified account of the connection between justice and the good life. It argues that the virtues of character require institutions, while good institutions enable persons to live together virtuously. Although virtue ethics and political philosophy are rich and sophisticated philosophical traditions, there has been an unfortunate divergence, in theory and practice, between the virtues of character and the virtues of institutions. This book has two primary purposes. First, it reorients political philosophy around the concept of the good life. To do so, the author addresses the problem of political authority from a virtue ethics perspective. He also considers whether a political theory oriented around the good life is compatible with Rawls’s notion of reasonable pluralism. Second, the book explains the relationship between the virtues of institutions and the virtues of character. The author shows how institutions support the development and exercise of the virtues of character, while examining specific other-regarding virtues such as justice and friendship. The Authority of Virtue will appeal to scholars and advanced students working in virtue ethics, social and political philosophy, ancient philosophy, and political theory.
