Описание: An epic struggle over land, water, and power is erupting in the American West and the halls of Washington, DC. It began when a 4,000-square-mile area of Arizona desert called Black Mesa was divided between the Hopi and Navajo tribes. To the outside world, it was a land struggle between two fractious Indian tribes; to political insiders and energy corporations, it was a divide-and-conquer play for the 21 billion tons of coal beneath Black Mesa. Today, that coal powers cheap electricity for Los Angeles, a new water aqueduct into Phoenix, and the neon dazzle of Las Vegas.

Journalist and historian Judith Nies has been tracking this story for nearly four decades. She follows the money and tells us the true story of wealth and water, mendacity, and corruption at the highest levels of business and government. Amid the backdrop of the breathtaking desert landscape, Unreal City shows five cultures colliding -- Hopi, Navajo, global energy corporations, Mormons, and US government agencies -- resulting in a battle over resources and the future of the West.

Las Vegas may attract 39 million visitors a year, but the tourists mesmerized by the dancing water fountains at the Bellagio don't ask where the water comes from. They don't see a city with the nation's highest rates of foreclosure, unemployment, and suicide. They don't see the astonishing drop in the water level of Lake Mead -- where Sin City gets 90 percent of its water supply.

Nies shows how the struggle over Black Mesa lands is an example of a global phenomenon in which giant transnational corporations have the power to separate indigenous people from their energy-rich lands with the help of host governments. Unreal City explores how and why resources have been taken from native lands, what it means in an era of climate change, and why, in this city divorced from nature, the only thing more powerful than money is water.

Описание: The Catholic Epistles and Apostolic Tradition asks two questions: Can the Catholic Epistles from James to Jude be fruitfully examined in relation to each other, without contrasting them with the Pauline Epistles? And, if so, will we learn something new about them and early Christianity? The essayists here answer ""yes"" and ""yes,"" offering provocative perspectives on James, the Johannine epistles, the Petrine epistles, and Jude.Additional contributors are Ernst Baasland (Church of Norway), Lutz Doering (University of London--King's College), Reinhard Felmeier (University of Guttingen), J??rg Frey (University of Munich), Scott J. Hafemann (Gordon-Conwell Seminary), Patrick J. Hartin (Gonzaga University), John S. Kloppenborg (University of Toronto), Matthias Konradt (University of Berne), David R. Nienhuis (Seattle Pacific University), and John Painter (Charles Sturt University).

Описание: Rent Your Way to Freedom peels back the layers of discussion in the Rent vs. Buy decision - covering both: financial implications and soft factors. Is our house the asset and investment we've been conditioned to believe? Is renting for second-class citizens? Can renting be the alternate path to freedom? Esteemed financial advisers are found on both sides of the Rent vs. Buy argument in the biggest financial (and lifestyle) decision most people ever make. We're taught to believe that: ""renting is just throwing money away"". We don't consider that owning a house is also ""throwing money away"" ...to the bank in mortgage interest, to the government in taxes, and to the time-consuming and expensive world of housing maintenance. Over time, bricks and mortar appreciate less than we think and ownership has many constraining liabilities - with opportunity costs and real cash flow implications.
