Описание: LoMoving to River's Edge was supposed to be a fresh start.Away from chaos.Away from bad influences and worse relationships.All I wanted was to give my little brother more of a chance than I ever had.It should've been simple.I didn't count on my transgressions following me.And I definitely didn't count on meeting Dare.Tall, tortured, and tattooed.A Lost Boy through and through.Falling for someone like him was asking for heartache.But I was a sucker for punishment.DareI had a routine.Eat, work, sleep, repeat, only ever doing the bare minimum to keep up appearances.I kept my circle small and my guard high.I spent years making sure I didn't repeat the mistakes of my past, forming an impenetrable layer of ice around my heart.Then Logan showed up in my town, in my tattoo shop, testing my patience along with my self-control.She was fire and I was ice.I should've stayed away.But I had been cold for far too long.

Описание: This book was written for Christians in particular, but you don't need to be a Christian to understand and appreciate everything it says about economics. The stories of the Bible show that economic principles are timeless and universal. What applies now applied then. That is why we can relate to them. Church leaders regularly use the Bible to justify many of their recommendations for political intervention in critical areas of our lives, interventions that often have negative, even disastrous consequences. Why is it that so many programs promoted by so many well-meaning people turn out to have no lasting positive effect or, in fact, such negative results? This book explores why.

The world is filled with people who have good or even great intentions about the things they would like to do and who they would like to become. But good intentions are never enough to change your life. Overweight people have good intentions about losing weight. Unemployed people have good intentions about getting a job. A cheating husband or wife have good intentions about quitting the affair. Yet for all of these good intentions, these individuals are still where they are; while hoping to get to where they desire to be, all the while wondering how to get out of the rut. The answer is in moving from good intentions to Intentional living. In Joshua Chapter one verse 8, God tells Joshua "If you observe to DO whatsoever I have commanded you, then you shall make your way prosperous and have good success." / DESIRE / DECISION/ DELIBERATE ACTION/ DISCIPLINE.

Название: The Price of Nice: How Good Intentions Maintain Educational Inequity ISBN: 1517905672 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781517905675 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 23410.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: How being “nice” in school and university settings works to reinforce racialized, gendered, and (dis)ability-related inequities in education and society Being nice is difficult to critique. Niceness is almost always portrayed and felt as a positive quality. In schools, nice teachers are popular among students, parents, and administrators. And yet Niceness, as a distinct set of practices and discourses, is not actually good for individuals, institutions, or communities because of the way it maintains and reinforces educational inequity. In The Price of Nice, an interdisciplinary group of scholars explores Niceness in educational spaces from elementary schools through higher education to highlight how this seemingly benign quality reinforces structural inequalities. Grounded in data, personal narrative, and theory, the chapters show that Niceness, as a raced, gendered, and classed set of behaviors, functions both as a shield to save educators from having to do the hard work of dismantling inequity and as a disciplining agent for those who attempt or even consider disrupting structures and ideologies of dominance.

The 2016 presidential election was unlike any other in American history. Polls tell us that millions of American Catholics who care about moral issues and who descended from immigrants supported Donald Trump. Why didn't Trump's rhetoric on immigration and his promises to close the borders trouble more American Catholics?
In a first, Steven P. Millies here uncovers the history of how and why the so-called "Catholic Vote" went the way it did in 2016 and offers some practical reflections on ways to put Catholic faith to better use in American politics
From Glee to gay marriage, from lesbian senators to out gay Marines, we have undoubtedly experienced a seismic shift in attitudes about gays in American politics and culture. Our reigning national story is that a new era of rainbow acceptance is at hand. But dig a bit deeper, and this seemingly brave new gay world is disappointing. For all of the undeniable changes, the plea for tolerance has sabotaged the full integration of gays into American life. Same-sex marriage is unrecognized and unpopular in the vast majority of states, hate crimes proliferate, and even in the much vaunted “gay friendly” world of Hollywood and celebrity culture, precious few stars are openly gay.
In The Tolerance Trap, Suzanna Walters takes on received wisdom about gay identities and gay rights, arguing that we are not “almost there,” but on the contrary have settled for a watered-down goal of tolerance and acceptance rather than a robust claim to full civil rights. After all, we tolerate unpleasant realities: medicine with strong side effects, a long commute, an annoying relative. Drawing on a vast array of sources and sharing her own personal journey, Walters shows how the low bar of tolerance demeans rather than ennobles both gays and straights alike. Her fascinating examination covers the gains in political inclusion and the persistence of anti-gay laws, the easy-out sexual freedom of queer youth and the suicides and murders of those in decidedly intolerant environments. She challenges both “born that way” storylines that root civil rights in biology, and “god made me that way” arguments that similarly situate sexuality as innate and impervious to decisions we make to shape it. A sharp and provocative cultural critique, this book deftly argues that a too-soon declaration of victory short-circuits full equality and deprives us all of the transformative possibilities of full integration. Tolerance is not the end goal, but a dead end. In The Tolerance Trap, Walters presents a complicated snapshot of a world-shifting moment in American history—one that is both a wake-up call and a call to arms for anyone seeking true equality.

Описание: Why is it that so many organizations, seeking to do good in the world, miss opportunities to do so - and indeed sometimes exacerbate the very problem they seek to address? The Business of Doing Good reveals six insights for microfinance and other social purpose organizations using the marketplace to tackle a range of pressing social challenges. To deliver on good intentions, we need to do more than simply deliver "good products," and become organizations designed to do good.
The insights focus on creating a business model that moves beyond conventional wisdom about clients and marketplace. This means getting to grips with the realities of clients' lives, and delivering products that address their real needs (rather than simply chasing market demand). It also means recognizing that our vision is realized through our people. By tapping into their potential, and supporting them to do difficult work, we can do quality work - and innovate to constantly do it better. Finally, the insights challenge us to make our social value proposition work from a business perspective - defining our own trade-offs, and evolving our approach to respond to a fast-changing world.
The Business of Doing Good charts the course of one remarkable and profitable social enterprise (AMK) that has, with single-minded purpose, made radical choices and reached deep into rural Cambodia, touching the lives of almost 2million people living in poverty. This book is important reading for microfinance and development practitioners, social entrepreneurs, impact investors, philanthropists, researchers, and students of international development.
