Beschreibung

"Markets Before Money" explores the fascinating economic landscape of pre-monetary societies, revealing sophisticated systems of barter, trade networks, and resource allocation. It examines how early societies managed economic exchange before coinage, challenging the common assumption that money is essential for a thriving market. The book demonstrates that barter, often viewed as simple, involved complex social dynamics and innovative solutions to overcome limitations like the "double coincidence of wants." The book meticulously charts the evolution of ancient trade routes, highlighting their crucial role in spreading resources, ideas, and technologies across cultures. It also investigates community resource exchange, focusing on systems like communal ownership and reciprocal obligations which ensured stability. Drawing from archaeological evidence, anthropological studies, and historical records, the book adopts a narrative non-fiction style to present complex economic concepts in an accessible way. Beginning with a theoretical framework, the book progresses through case studies from regions like ancient Mesopotamia and pre-Columbian America, offering insights into diverse forms of pre-monetary exchange. Ultimately, it connects pre-monetary practices to the development of early monetary systems, informing contemporary debates about alternative currencies and sustainable resource management.

    How should Christians faithfully engage with politics in an increasingly polarized and complex society?
    Faithful Politics by Miranda Zapor Cruz offers a thoughtful and balanced road map for navigating this challenging question. Rather than prescribing easy answers or simplistic checklists, this book invites readers into a reflective exploration of ten distinct approaches to Christian political engagement, providing meaningful tools for deeper understanding.
    In this book Cruz guides readers in forming a vision of citizenship that brings Christian convictions into political engagement while avoiding common pitfalls. Cruz also provides a measured, nonpartisan overview of different ways Christians have approached political participation. These ten views represent a range of theological approaches to the relationship between the kingdom of God and the country, including Anabaptist, social gospel, principled pluralist, and Christian nationalist. Cruz describes strengths and weaknesses of each view, with a focus on Christian faithfulness.
    In Faithful Politics, you'll find
    
    - Thorough Scholarship: Presents ten distinct approaches to politics, ranging from separatist to dominionist and more
    - A Balanced Presentation: Offers a nonpartisan perspective while addressing strengths and weaknesses
    - Scriptural and Theological Insights: Establishes guiding principles grounded in Scripture to help shape faithful political participation
    Cruz observes that in the United States Christians with shared faith convictions can often reach differing political conclusions. However, Scripture and theology provide guiding principles that shape our thinking and remind us that our ultimate citizenship is in the kingdom of God. Faithful Politics invites readers to learn from Christians of the past as we discern how to be salt and light in our own time and place.

    In 2018, police announced that they had finally arrested the "Golden State Killer," a man responsible for over 140 burglaries, fifty rapes, and at least thirteen murders committed in California throughout the 1970s and '80s. That man turned out to be a former California police officer, Joseph James DeAngelo Jr. 
     
     
     
    Just two months earlier, the publication of I'll Be Gone in the Dark by Michelle McNamara had rocked the world of true crime. Published two years after her death, the book charts McNamara's obsessive search for the prolific criminal who had been known over the years as the East Area Rapist, the Original Night Stalker, and the Visalia Ransacker, among other epithets. McNamara is credited with coining the "Golden State Killer" moniker and heightening public awareness of the—at the time—still unsolved case. 
     
     
     
    William Thorp dives into the investigation, exploring the dark side of sunny California, the advances in forensic innovation that made solving this case possible, and the story inside the story—one of an amateur sleuth who dedicated the last years of her life to understanding how one of the country's worst criminals could have spent so many decades undetected.
