Ten years ago, resiliency theory was relatively new to the fields of prevention and education. Today, it is at the heart of hundreds of school and community programs that recognize in all young people the capacity to lead healthy, successful lives. The key, as Benard reports in this synthesis of a decade and more of resiliency research, is the role that families, schools, and communities play in supporting, and not undermining, this biological drive for normal human development. Of special interest is the evidence that resiliency prevails in most cases by far — even in extreme situat

Lisa’s having a hard time getting turned on, and when your job is to spearhead the Ministry of Thought’s effort to find more appropriate sexual fantasies for women, that’s a problem. Now that women have taken over the world, you see, the old lovesick, masochistic fantasies don’t cut it; everything from The Story of O to romance novels leaves post-revolutionary women like Lisa cold. Things with Brett, her SR (for Significant Relationship -- "boyfriend" is so pre-revolution), aren’t exactly heating up either. And Justin, her new assistant...well, he’s cute,

Does women’s participation in nation-building make a difference to the post-conflict trajectories of very volatile societies? Women and Nation-Building presents compelling findings for policymakers, practitioners, and scholars concerned with both the academic and pragmatic implementation of an engendered approach to nation-building. The book concludes that the steps necessary to strengthen nation-building activities include an emphasis on human security, establishing governance based on the principles of equity and the rule of law, and women’s early economic inclusion in reconstruc

Goddesses often are labeled as one-dimensional forces of nature or fertility. In examining a number of goddesses whose primary role is sovereignty, this volume reveals the rich diversity of goddess traditions. Drawn from a variety of cultural and historical settings, the goddesses described here include Inanna of ancient Sumer; Oshun of Nigeria; and Cihuacoatl of pre-historical America.

Singing in the Night is a collection of more than 50 inspiring prayers, poems, and prose, perfect for nighttime reading, worship, or personal reflection. Each meditation illustrates that faith is not to be taken for granted—it must be attended to, cared for, and practiced. The four writers who contribute to Singing in the Night offer hope, gratitude, and a sense of deep humility at day’s end: • Gordon McKeeman compares religion to a van that needs regular check-ups, even when it seems to be in good working order. • Kaaren Anderson imagines Eve, banished from the Garden of E
