Hardback. Condición: Very Good. Why do heroes fight each other? Why do villains keep trying even though they almost never win? Why don't heroes simply take over the world? Economics and comics may seem to be a world apart. But in the hands of economics professor and comic book hero aficionado Brian O'Roark, the two form a powerful alliance. With brilliant deadpan enthusiasm he shows how the travails of superheroes can explain the building blocks of economics, and how economics explains the mysteries of superhero behavior.

Paperback. Condición: Good. WHAT SOCIAL IDENTITY CAN TEACH US ABOUT CHURCH UNITYOur attempts to foster church unity typically don't turn out the way we'd hoped. Why? Because we fail to understand how community and identity interact. People form groups; it's part of what it means to be human. Once formed, groups come into conflict with each other--even within the church. It's not a question of if, but how. Simply focusing on our commonalities isn't enough. Trying to stop people from forming groups won't work. We need to get to the heart of the issue: identity.Drawing from Scripture and social identity theory, All Together Different will teach you what moves people from us vs. them to we together, while maintaining diverse group identities. Whether you're dealing with racial tensions, gender divides, generational gaps, or cultural preferences, you'll learn how to promote unity and prevent conflict for the glory of God.…
