Hardcover. Condition: Good. There are so many contradictory potraits of Jesus now available that the ordinary Christian cannot help but be confused. Often the wildest theological speculations have obscured the humanity of Jesus which is essential to Christian faith. This book sets out to awaken the reader to the Bible's focus on forming a community of peace and justice, and not a community of academicians debating scholastic theories.

Softcover. Condition: Good. Diego Rivera (illustrator). From their stick-and-mud village far up the mountains, the Indians can look across the wide Mexico that was once theirs and look down upon the houses and fields where they now do enforced labor for the mestizos and whites. Once proud and powerful, the tribe has added their conquerors to the natural perils of forest and jungle, famine and plague, as evils against which they and their witchcraft are powerless. Here, within this bounded and embattled world, a quietly moving story unfolds of a tragic people caught in the tail wind of a civilization both alien and hostile to them, a tale of brave men and lovers, of prophets and violence, of the tribal secrets put on every child's lips and impossible to forget.

Book
Softcover. Condition: Good. The groundbreaking Audio Culture: Readings in Modern Music (Continuum; September 2004; paperback original) maps the aural and discursive terrain of vanguard music today. Rather than offering a history of contemporary music, Audio Culture traces the genealogy of current musical practices and theoretical concerns, drawing lines of connection between recent musical production and earlier moments of sonic experimentation. It aims to foreground the various rewirings of musical composition and performance that have taken place in the past few decades and to provide a critical and theoretical language for this new audio culture.Via writings by philosophers, cultural theorists, and composers, Audio Culture explores the interconnections among such forms as minimalism, indeterminacy, musique concrte, free improvisation, experimental music, avant-rock, dub reggae, Ambient music, HipHop, and Techno. Instead of focusing on the putative "crossover" between "high art" and "popular culture," Audio Culture takes all of these musics as experimental practices on par with, and linked to, one another. While cultural studies has tended to look at music (primarily popular music) from a sociological perspective, the concern here is philosophical, musical, and historical.Audio Culture includes writing by some of the most important musical thinkers of the past half-century, among them John Cage, Brian Eno, Glenn Gould, Umberto Eco, Ornette Coleman, Jacques Attali, Simon Reynolds, Pauline Oliveros, Paul D. Miller, David Toop, John Zorn, Karlheinz Stockhausen, and many others. The book is divided into nine thematically-organized sections, each with its own introduction. Section headings include topics such as "Modes of Listening," "Minimalisms," and "DJ Culture." In addition, each essay has its own short introduction, helping the reader to place the essay within musical, historical, and conceptual contexts. The book concludes with a glossary, a timeline, and an extensive discography.

Book
Softcover. Condition: Good. First Thus Used. Many people today have a spiritual thirst and hunger for silence and for prayer that is as urgent in its way as the material needs of the world. Modern people need a way to return to this health, a way that must be new and old: a traditional way that meets people where they are.In The Selfless Self, Laurence Freeman looks at the essential elements of meditation: silence, stillness, simplicity. He expands on the power of meditation to transform the way in which we see our place and our responsibilities in the world and how it can help us to resist the pressure to conform to materialistic standards. As Freeman writes, "The wonderful thing about meditation, the spiritual journey into the cave of the heart, is that once we have taken each successive step of faith and the light has shone in that dark place, then that place is enlightened. Fear and the primal fear of death is transcended".

Book
Hardcover. Condition: used. That one of the dominant prose genres of our era is the jeremiad indicates how widespread is the sense of contempt and disdain for the modern age. We are told in screed after screed that the contemporary world is an arena of moral chaos and turpitude that can be redeemed only by a return to the putatively more virtuous world of the past - the latter usually defined in terms of the "classical" polis as described by Aristole and elaborated by Aquinas.The current most vigorous exponent of this view is the ethician, Alasdair MacIntrye, whose "story" of Western society is that original "innocence" (Greece) was followed by the "fall" (bourgeois society and the Enlightenment), culminating in "apocalypse" (the modern age).What Ruprecht persuasively shows is that this romanticizing of the past is based on a misprision of classical texts - Greek drama in its original forms and as reread by Hegel and Nietzsche, and the story of Jesus - so that one must conclude that tragedy is a permanent feature of human life, but not beyond redemption. Thus apocalyptic faddism has both misunderstood tragedy and trivialized it. It has done both particularly with regard to the Jesus story in Mark, which illustrates that classical tragedy and Christian faith are not incompatible.The major achievement of Tragic Posture and Tragic Vision is to show that the massive literature about "classical" glories and about modernity's malaise has been written by those who have done little primary work with the texts of earlier ages."Narratology" has also become a buzzword among contemporary authors of jeremiads; it is the validation of tragic posturing. But what Ruprecht shows is that people begin stories (Greek civility) in such a way that the stories go where their authors want them to go (modern apocalypse). But, this book affirms, if the beginning of the story is wrong or misread, then so may be the intuition about the End.

Hardcover. Condition: used. Gay Wilde to Stonewall both illuminates significant works of literature and helps chart an evolving tradition of gay male literature. Focusing on Anglo-American fiction written in the advent and aftermath of the Wilde scandal of 1895 and in the period following World War II but before the Stonewall Inn riots of 1969, Gay Fictions aims not so much at establishing a canon of modern gay literature as exploring important representative texts that simultaneously reflect and reflect on the status of gay people during these crucial decades. Among the texts examined are works by Oscar Wilde, Willa Cather, E. M. Forester, Gore Vidal, Truman Capote, Tennessee Williams, Mary Renault, James Baldwin, and Christopher Isherwood. The novels and stories explored in Gay Fictions are products of particular and immediate social contexts, but they also transcend their historical moments and continue to speak to the question of what it means to be homosexual, a question that is important not only to gay people but also to all who value justice and diversity. By focusing on these works, this book shows the changing face of this experience and itself makes a vital contribution to the literature of gay liberation.

Hardcover. Condition: used. Odyssey with the Goddess depicts a spiritual journey from death and despair to healing and rebirth. At its deepest level, it is a story with universal resonance. But it is also a woman's story and a spiritual quest from a particular point of view. It begins with a very simple experience of despair - abandonment in a love relationship. What follows is a journey not willingly or consciously chosen. The author is present as her mother dies and glimpses the mystery of love. She is taken to Crete, a land where the Goddess once reigned in peace and harmony. There she descends into the darkness of a cave, finds the tree of life in the center of a garden, and dances to the strange rhythms of mountain goat songs. Eventually she comes to understand that life is not a goal to be achieved by effort and will. It is a dance along a serpentine path offering many gifts at every turn.

Softcover. Condition: Good. With Pedagogy of Hope, Freire explores his best-known analytical themes - with even deeper understanding and a greater wisdom. Certainly, all of these themes have to be analyzed as elements of a body of critical, liberationist pedagogy. In the present book, we come to understand the author's pedagogical thinking even better, through the critical seriousness, humanistic objectivity, and engaged subjectivity which, in all of Freire's books, are always wedded to a unique creative innovativeness.

Is genetic engineering a modern magic wand, responsible for producing fantastic crops to feed the world's hungry and a miracle cure-all for human disease? Or, as this book claims, is it an untried and inadequalty researched technology that is out of control with nightmarish results? The author aims to show how genetic determinism is at odds with the reality of scientific findings; gives rise to misguided practices and projects that are unethical and exploitative; and is hazardous to human and animal health and the ecological environment.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. This title tells the saga of popular music of Cuban origin, and its major artists from the 1920s to today. Afro-Cuban music derives its richness from the fusion of various cultures. On the island of tobacco, rum and coffee, the marriage of sacred and secular African musical genres with Spanish and French melodies has given rise to numerous genres which have gained international son, rhumba, guaracha, conga, mambo, cha-cha-cha, pachanga, nueva timba. In the US, Cubans have settled alongside other Hispanic communities. In New York, the boogaloo, salsa and Latin jazz, created by musicians such as Machito, Dizzy Gillespie and Chano Pozo emerged from contact with Puerto Ricans and African-Americans, and the rhythms of Puerto Rico and Santo Domingo were integrated into salsa and Latin jazz.
