Sinossi

Urban Growth explores the pervasive phenomenon of cities expanding and the resulting challenges to sustainability and equity. It examines the drivers and patterns behind urban sprawl, demonstrating how unchecked growth leads to environmental degradation and social inequity. For example, the book shows how globalization and technological advancements have shaped urban landscapes since the Industrial Revolution.

 
The book argues that through sustainable development strategies and innovative planning, cities can enhance residents' quality of life while minimizing environmental impact. Beginning with core principles and historical context, it progresses through factors driving urban expansion, consequences of rapid urbanization, and strategies for sustainable growth, such as transit-oriented development.

 
What makes this work unique is its emphasis on practical solutions and a focus on equity and inclusion.

The Greatest Story Ever Retold -...

Jeannine K. Brown, John Anthony...

From Scripture to Screen: Understanding How We All Direct Our Own Jesus Story 
 
In this innovative book, two respected New Testament scholars explore the ways the Jesus story has been told and retold from the earliest Gospel writings to contemporary film adaptations. John Anthony Dunne and Jeannine Brown highlight what later narratives can teach us about the hermeneutical process we employ, knowingly or unknowingly, as we read the Gospels. 
 
In this book, you will 
 
● learn how we visualize the Jesus story in particular ways as we read the Gospels, inevitably casting actors, blocking scenes, and interpreting dialogue as we imagine our own Jesus film; 
● journey through two thousand years of storytelling to discover how humanity has grappled with the Jesus narrative, from Gospel harmonizations to modern cinema; 
● discover how Jesus films illuminate the interpretive choices we make when reading Scripture, from filling narrative gaps to characterizing Judas, Pilate, and Jesus himself; and 
● benefit from rigorous New Testament scholarship made accessible through engaging analysis of contemporary film adaptations. 
 
The Greatest Story Ever Retold accounts for the ways humanity has been grappling with the Jesus story for two millennia, often casting it in a way that forms to our own questions and identities. The authors show that Jesus films can help us think through how and why we direct our own film in the way that we do when we read or hear the story of Jesus. 
 
This book is essential reading for students, scholars, and anyone interested in how we interpret Scripture, create meaning from biblical narratives, and participate in the ongoing retelling of Christianity's central story.

Jefferson Glassie
