Paperback. Condición: Good. The Blue Sweater is the inspiring story of a woman who left a career in international banking to spend her life on a quest to understand global poverty and find powerful new ways of tackling it. It all started back home in Virginia, with the blue sweater, a gift that quickly became her prized possession-until the day she outgrew it and gave it away to Goodwill. Eleven years later in Africa, she spotted a young boy wearing that very sweater, with her name still on the tag inside. That the sweater had made its trek all the way to Rwanda was ample evidence, she thought, of how we are all connected, how our actions-and inaction-touch people every day across the globe, people we may never know or meet. From her first stumbling efforts as a young idealist venturing forth in Africa to the creation of the trailblazing organization she runs today, Novogratz tells gripping stories with unforgettable characters-women dancing in a Nairobi slum, unwed mothers starting a bakery, courageous survivors of the Rwandan genocide, entrepreneurs building services for the poor against impossible odds. She shows, in ways both hilarious and heartbreaking, how traditional charity often fails, but how a new form of philanthropic investing called "patient capital" can help make people self-sufficient and can change millions of lives. More than just an autobiography or a how-to guide to addressing poverty, The Blue Sweater is a call to action that challenges us to grant dignity to the poor and to rethink our engagement with the world.…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. The urban landscape is changing and, as a result, urban ministries are at a crossroads. If the Church is to be an effective agent of compassion and justice, Robert Lupton notes, we must change our mission strategies. In this compelling book, Lupton asks the tough questions about service providing and community building to help ministries enhance their effectiveness. What are the dilemmas that caring people encounter to faithfully carry out the teachings of Scripture and become personally involved with the least of these? What are some possible alternatives to the ways we have traditionally attempted to care for the poor? How do people, programs, and neighborhoods move towards reciprocal, interdependent relationships? To effect these types of changes will require new skill sets and resources, but the possibilities for good are great.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. Today, genes are called upon to explain almost every aspect of our lives, from social inequalities to health, sexual preference and criminality. Based on Darwin's theory of evolution and natural selection, Evolutionary Psychology with its claim that 'it's all in our genes' has become the most popular scientific theory of the late 20th century. Books such as Richard Dawkins's The Selfish Gene, Edward O.Wilson's Consilience and Steven Pinker's The Language Instinct have become bestsellers and frame the public debate on human life and development: we can see their influence as soon as we open a Sunday newspaper. In recent years, however, many biologists and social scientists have begun to contest this new biological determinism and shown that Evolutionary Psychology rests on shaky empirical evidence, flawed premises and unexamined political presuppositions. In this provocative and ground-breaking book, Hilary and Steven Rose have gathered together the most eminent and outspoken critics of this fashionable ideology, ranging from Stephen Jay Gould and Patrick Bateson to Mary Midgley, Tim Ingold and Annette Karmiloff-Smith. What emerges is a new perspective on human development which acknowledges the complexity of life by placing at its centre the living organism rather than the gene.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. The Wireless Elephant in the Room concisely conveys the well-established risks from cell phones and wireless technologies, the tremendous biological stress that acute and chronic exposures create, especially to children, and the big plans wireless companies have to blanket us even further in this inescapable, harmful radiation throughout our homes and neighborhoods, and even from space, all the while deliberately addicting us to electronic technologies and driving up health costs. The author, one of America's leading health advocates, expert in the biological and health effects of electromagnetic fields, asks, Why should we, in essence, be agreeing to be the collateral damage of the wireless industry's misguided values that are damaging humans, animals and nature, and especially children, on an unprecedented scale, for their commercial gain? The Wireless Elephant in the Room is a highly informed synopsis of society's new public health predicament and a powerful contribution to public education on this topic. It is chock full with research citations and quotes from leading scientific experts, including from Harvard, Columbia, Yale and other universities. The Wireless Elephant in the Room is a 'must have' for couples hoping to conceive, expectant mothers, parents, teachers, school administrators, employers, health insurers, social workers, psychologists and psychiatrists, and everyone with a chronic illness, including cancer patients, and their doctors. No one taught doctors about the biological and health effects of electromagnetic fields in medical school. It is a new public health issue. Best to give them all copies. Sometimes the solution to a mysterious or never-resolving health problem (including learning problems) can be as simple as using technology in a safer way. Learn what conditions have been linked to wireless radiation, where you can go for help to measure and minimize exposures, and how to quickly get further up to speed on the basics of safer living in a wireless world. Start with The Wireless Elephant in the Room and begin the process of empowering yourself to proactively protect health. Big Brother is not looking out for our best interests, as it also did not with tobacco, asbestos, glyphosate, lead paint, DDT and more. We need to learn and spread the truth about this subject at the grassroots among health conscious Americans. The Wireless Elephant in the Room is a quick read and riveting.…
