Sinossi

In "The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals," Charles Darwin explores the intricate ways in which emotions manifest across species, weaving together observations from natural history, physiology, and psychology. Employing a method that blends scientific rigor with literary finesse, Darwin articulates his theories on emotional expression through vivid descriptions and meticulously detailed illustrations. Situated within the framework of 19th-century scientific inquiry, the work not only reflects Darwin's evolutionary perspective but also serves as a forerunner to contemporary studies in ethology and psychology, emphasizing the unity of emotional expression across biological forms. Darwin, renowned for his foundational contributions to the theory of evolution, draws on his extensive travels and meticulous observations to inform this work. His background in natural history, coupled with an intense curiosity about the interconnectedness of life, motivated him to investigate a topic that had only begun to receive scholarly attention. Understanding the emotive capabilities of both humans and animals was, for Darwin, a critical endeavor that illuminated broader implications for understanding our shared descent and the continuity of life. Recommended for scholars, students, and general readers alike, this compelling exploration invites readers to reconsider the emotional landscapes we share with other animals. Darwin's nuanced insights into human and animal behavior foster a deeper understanding of our own emotional experiences and connections to the natural world, marking this book as an essential read for anyone interested in the evolution of emotions.

    The final installment in the groundbreaking The Venture of Islam series, “a monumental three-volume interpretation of Islamic civilization” (Review of Middle East Studies).   The Venture of Islam has been honored as a magisterial work of the mind since its publication in early 1975. In this three-volume study, illustrated with charts and maps, Hodgson traces and interprets the historical development of Islamic civilization from before the birth of Muhammad to the middle of the twentieth century. This work grew out of the famous course on Islamic civilization that Hodgson created and taught for many years at the University of Chicago. In this concluding volume of The Venture of Islam, Hodgson describes the second flowering of Islam: the Safavi, Timuri, and Ottoman empires. The final part of the volume analyzes the widespread Islamic heritage in today’s world.Praise for The Venture of Islam  “This is a nonpareil work, not only because of its command of its subject but also because it demonstrates how, ideally, history should be written.” —The New Yorker   “In placing Islamic society in a context encompassing not only Islam outside the Middle East proper but contemporary societies such as western Europe and China, he provides a prospective sorely missed in most works on the subject.” —Linda C. Rose, History

    It's time to move past talk. 
 
 
 
It's no longer news to most of us that our society has a deep-seated racism problem. Christians of all ethnic and economic backgrounds are tired of seeing the ugly legacy of racism play out before their eyes and feeling ill-equipped to respond. They watch as friends and family members leave the visible church over this issue, or fall prey to a gospel of White nationalism that is an affront to the cross of Christ. Racism presents itself as an undefeatable foe—a sustained scourge on the reputation of the church. 
 
 
 
In Faithful Antiracism, Christina Barland Edmondson and Chad Brennan take confidence from the truth that Christ has overcome the world, including racism, and offer clear analysis and interventions to challenge and resist its pernicious power. Drawing on brand-new research from the landmark Race, Religion, and Justice Project led by Michael Emerson and others, this book represents the most comprehensive study on Christians and race since Emerson's own book Divided by Faith (2001). It invites listeners to put this data to immediate practical use, applying it to their own specific context. Compelled by our grievous social moment and by the timeless truth of Scripture, Faithful Antiracism will equip listeners to move past talk and enter the fight against racism in both practical and hopeful ways.

    Most bereavement materials are focused on the first year of the grieving experience. We have often been asked, "What do you have for after the first anniversary?" In response to this need, Doug Manning has written this book, Grief's Second Mile: Life Beyond the First Year. 
Grief's Second Mile addresses some of the specific losses such as the death after extended illness, death of a child, suicide, violent or unresolved deaths, and why those may lengthen or stall the person's ability to approach the necessary transitions of grief in a healthy or complete manner. He provides insights and suggestions for developing ways to express feelings and cope with the loss and how to seek the help that is vital. Doug focuses on allowing the reader to feel "normal" in their search and to discover the answers that are right for them. 
A valuable resource for those families who are struggling or would appreciate something that speaks to their grieving beyond the first year.
