Summary

Ancient Covenants explores the pivotal role of negotiated agreements between humanity and the divine in shaping faith communities.It challenges the traditional view of faith as solely spiritual, arguing that legally-binding religious contracts have significantly influenced religious thought, social structures, and ethical frameworks.These "divine agreements," often overlooked, provide a new lens for understanding how religious beliefs evolved across cultures.

 
Did you know that covenants aren't just symbolic gestures, but rather define the terms of the relationship between the divine and humanity?The book systematically progresses, beginning with an overview of covenant theology.It then examines specific examples within Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.The book later broadens its scope to include covenants in ancient Near Eastern religions.

 
By drawing upon textual exegesis, historical research, and comparative theology, Ancient Covenants offers a multidisciplinary perspective on religious law and its profound impact on faith communities.

Make to Know - From spaces of...

Lorne Buchman

A journey through the minds of some of the most creative people on the planet reveals that creativity is rarely a “lightbulb moment” and instead arrives through a process of making and self-understanding. The creative process is winding. It involves entertaining uncertainty and improvising new paths to knowing. In this insightful and informed book, Lorne M. Buchman, an international leader in art and design education and president of ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena, California, guides readers through stories of a diverse and talented group of artists, entrepreneurs, innovators, and designers. Including such luminaries as Yves Béhar, Chris Kraus, Zack Snyder, Paula Scher, and Frank Gehry and businesses like Apple and Tesla who have changed the world as we know it, Buchman focuses on the revelatory nature of the creative journey itself. Michelangelo is said to have seen the angel in the stone and carved away until he set him free. Make to Know is about making as a path to knowing?presenting creativity as a “carving away” toward a revelation, not as a fully formed epiphany gleaned from a mysterious ether. As Buchman reveals throughout this provocative book, uncertainty is the space where discovery happens and where creators can be both playful and imaginative. Whether you’re an artist, designer, writer, daydreamer, or doodler, anyone can learn from these lessons on the varied paths to self-expression.

The Leaving Season - A Memoir in...

Kelly McMasters

Kelly McMasters found herself in her mid-thirties living her fantasy: she'd moved with her husband, a painter, from New York City to rural Pennsylvania, where their children roamed idyllic acres in rainboots and diapers. The pastoral landscape and the bookshop they opened were restorative at first, for her and her marriage. But soon, she was quietly plotting her escape. 
 
 
 
In The Leaving Season, McMasters chronicles the heady rush of falling in love and carving out a life in the city, the slow dissolution of her relationship in an isolated farmhouse, and the complexities of making a new home for herself and her children as a single parent. She delves into the tricky and often devastating balance between seeing and being seen; loss and longing; desire and doubt; and the paradox of leaving what you love in order to survive. 
 
 
 
Whether considering masculinity in the countryside through the life of a freemartin calf, the vulnerability of new motherhood in the wake of a car crash, or the power of community pulsing through an independent bookshop, The Leaving Season finds in every ending a new beginning.

Racism - The Enduring Battle for...

Marcus Klein

Racism has been a persistent and destructive force throughout human history, shaping societies, cultures, and institutions in ways that continue to reverberate today. It manifests in myriad forms—through prejudice, discrimination, systemic inequities, and violence—targeting individuals and groups based on their race or ethnicity. While strides have been made in confronting this global scourge, the fight for equality and human dignity remains far from over. This enduring struggle is deeply rooted in historical injustices and perpetuated by contemporary systems of power and privilege.
Understanding racism requires a close examination of its origins, evolution, and the ways it impacts communities worldwide. Its foundations can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where societal hierarchies and prejudices began to form, later crystallizing during the eras of slavery and colonialism. These periods institutionalized racial inequality, embedding it into economic, social, and political structures. Even as humanity has progressed, racism has evolved, adapting to modern contexts while retaining its insidious influence.
The importance of addressing racism lies in the profound consequences it has on individuals and societies alike. At an individual level, it strips people of their dignity, identity, and opportunities, often leaving scars that last generations. On a societal level, racism undermines social cohesion, fosters economic inequality, and perpetuates cycles of marginalization and violence. In the face of these challenges, activists, leaders, and everyday citizens have worked tirelessly to dismantle racist systems, foster inclusion, and champion equality.
