Sinopsis

The Puppet Masters: The United States and the Philippine Political Landscape explores the intricate and often overlooked relationship between the United States and the Philippines. In this thought-provoking analysis, William Ubagan delves into the historical and contemporary forces that have shaped the political landscape of the Philippines, with a particular focus on the U.S.’s influential role as a hidden "puppet master."
 
From the colonial era to the present day, the United States has been a dominant force in Philippine politics, often steering key decisions and shaping policies that serve both its strategic and economic interests. This book uncovers the ways in which U.S. influence has molded Philippine governance, examining the effects of military alliances, economic dependencies, and political interventions on the sovereignty and self-determination of the Filipino people.
 
With a sharp eye for detail and a critical perspective, The Puppet Masters highlights the ongoing consequences of this relationship, offering readers an in-depth understanding of how foreign powers continue to influence the Philippines’ political trajectory. It’s a compelling exploration of power, independence, and the struggle for control in an ever-evolving global landscape.
 
Ideal for those interested in geopolitics, history, and Philippine affairs, this book invites readers to critically assess the dynamics between the U.S. and the Philippines and to reflect on the future of this complex relationship.

Becoming ProGrace - Expanding the Abortion Conversation Beyond Life Versus Choice - cover

Becoming ProGrace - Expanding...

United in Grace, Beyond Debate
Conversations about abortion often center on the question: Are you pro-life or pro-choice?
But what if that's the wrong question?
Drawing upon the life and teachings of Jesus, Becoming ProGrace invites Christians to ask new questions, such as:

- What if conversations about abortion didn't have to feel so tense, divided, or dehumanizing?
- What does it mean to affirm the image of God in every person involved?
- How do we navigate tension we may feel when our deepest Christian values seem to conflict?
- What would it take for Christian communities to become spaces of empathy, listening, and grace?

Including insights and personal stories from Christians of diverse denominational backgrounds and political perspectives, Becoming ProGrace articulates a uniquely Christian response to abortion that calls us to take on the character of Christ rather than trying to change others, offering a much-needed message of hope for our divided world.
Jesus led with grace. As we reimagine our approach to the abortion conversation, so can we.

“Fromm’s developing thought merits the critical attention of all concerned with the human condition and its future.” —The Washington Post The essays in this fascinating volume examine present-day psychological and cultural problems with the keen insight and humanistic sympathies characteristic of Erich Fromm’s work.The Dogma of Christ provides some of the sharpest critical insights into how the contemporary world of human destructiveness and violence can no longer separate religion, psychology, and politics. The book brilliantly summarizes Fromm’s ideas on how culture and society shape our behavior. “It’s the new post-religious theme song. The Fromm exhortations are imaginative and he has a definite audience.” —Kirkus Reviews “Of all the psychological theorists who have tried to formulate a system better than Freud’s to approach problems of contemporary life, no one has been more creative or influential than Erich Fromm. He is the most articulate advocate on the role of social forces in molding our character and on our manner of relating to others. This volume is an expansion of his systematic doctrine.” —Louis L. Lunsky, MD, Archives of Internal Medicine

In late 2024 Ireland, a nation of just 7 million people, stood at the top of rugby union's world rankings. 
 
Ireland's rise to such an exalted position has been the great triumph of rugby's professional era. For a nation that fought tooth and nail to keep the game amateur, their progress since 2000 has been extraordinary. The trophies, once so rare in Irish rugby hands, have become almost commonplace. Grand Slams, Six Nations Championships, Triple Crowns have all stood in the IRFU offices in Dublin. 
 
But that is the top tier of the game. What is the health of the sport at other levels all around Ireland? In this book award-winning international rugby writer Peter Bills seeks to take the pulse of the game at every level - schools, clubs, provinces - as well as the fast-expanding women's game. For if rugby at grassroots level withers, the decline will affect everyone. And how can rugby learn to live side by side with the ubiquitous GAA? 
 
Featuring interviews with some legendary names of Irish rugby, such as Keith Wood, Willie John McBride, Tony Ward, Bill Mulcahy, Gordon D'Arcy, Trevor Ringland, Nigel Carr and Tommy Bowe, we also hear from men and women from junior and club rugby, at clubs like Dingle, Kinsale, Monkstown, Boyne, Westport, City of Derry, Donegal Town, Omagh and Oughterard. All of them are doing stirring work behind the scenes for their local clubs and communities as Bills goes in search of the soul of Irish rugby.

This bundle offers a compelling and deeply insightful look into the complex and often harsh realities faced by both settlers and Indigenous peoples in Australia and New Zealand. This three-part volume captures the resilience, conflict, and cultural endurance that shaped these lands during their formative years of colonization and nation-building.  
The first section, Surviving the Frontier: Australia’s Harsh Beginnings, explores the brutal and unforgiving conditions faced by early European settlers, convicts, and Indigenous Australians, shedding light on the challenges of survival, frontier violence, and the clash of civilizations.  
The second section, New Zealand: A Nation’s Journey, traces New Zealand's path from a Māori homeland to a British colony and eventually an independent nation, while examining the cultural encounters, land disputes, and social changes that defined the nation's early years.  
The third section, Aboriginal Australia: Land, People, and Culture, dives into the rich and enduring heritage of Australia's First Nations, exploring their profound connection to the land, complex social systems, and the ongoing struggle for cultural survival and recognition.  
Together, these three perspectives provide a nuanced understanding of the human experience on the frontiers of Australia and New Zealand — highlighting both the resilience of Indigenous peoples and the challenges of colonial settlement. This book is essential for those seeking to understand the historical intersections of survival, resistance, and cultural identity in these two remarkable nations.
