A Philosopher Looks at Friendship, New Edition
by Sophie Grace Chappell
English | 2024 | ISBN: 1009255541 | 205 Pages | PDF | 1.1 MB

What is it to be a friend? What does the role of friend involve, and why? How do the obligations and prerogatives associated with that role follow on from it, and how might they mesh, or clash, with our other duties and privileges? Philosophy often treats friendship as something systematic, serious, and earnest, and much philosophical thought has gone into how 'friendship' can formally be defined. How indeed can friendship be good for us if it doesn't fit into a philosopher's neat, systematising theory of the good? For Sophie Grace Chappell, friendship is neither systematic nor earnest, yet is certainly one of the greatest goods of life. Drawing on well-known examples from popular culture, and examining these alongside recent philosophical, political, social, and theological debates, Chappell demystifies and redefines friendship as a highly untidy and many-sided good, and certainly also as one of the most central goods of human experience.

A Physical Education: How I Escaped Diet Culture and Gained the Power of Lifting by Casey Johnston
English | May 6th, 2025 | ISBN: 1538773252 | 272 pages | True EPUB | 1.73 MB
From the most visible woman writing about weightlifting today, a "profoundly engrossing" memoir and manifesto about how lifting helped dissolve her allegiance to diet culture; taught her to be at home in her body; and led her to grow every kind of strength (Elizabeth Greenwood).

InA Physical Education,Casey Johnston recounts how she ventured into the brave new world of weightlifting, leaving behind years ofrestrictive eating and endless cardio.Woven through the trajectory of how she rebuilt her strength and confidence is a staggering exposé of the damaging doctrine spread by diet and fitness culture.
Johnston's story dives deep into her own past relationships with calorie restriction, exercise, and codependency. As she progresses on her weightlifting journey, she begins to eat to fuel her growing strength-and her food cravings vanish. Her physical progress fuels a growing understanding of how mainstream messaging she received about women's bodies was about preserving the status quo. Previously convinced that physical improvement was a matter of suffering, she now knows it requires self-regard and patience. A little pushing at a time adds up to the reawakening of parts of herself she didn't even know were there.
A Physical Education asks why so many of us spend our lives trying to get "healthy" by actively making our bodies weaker. Casey Johnston is a voice for those of us who feel underdeveloped and unfulfilled in our bodies and are looking to come home to ourselves.

A Protest History of the United States
by Gloria J. Browne-Marshall
English | 2025 | ISBN: 0807010812 | 360 Pages | True ePUB | 2.4 MB

Exploring 400 years of protest and resistance in US history-and what the unsung heroes of social movements past can teach us about navigating our chaotic world
In this timely new book in Beacon's successful ReVisioning History series, professor Gloria Browne-Marshall delves into the history of protest movements and rebellion in the United States. Beginning with Indigenous peoples' resistance to European colonization and continuing through to today's climate change demonstrations, Browne-Marshall expands how to think about protest through sharing select historical moments and revealing the role of key players involved in those efforts.
Drawing upon legal documents, archival material, government documents and secondary sources, A Protest History of the United States gives voice to those who pushed back against the mistreatment of others, themselves, and in some instances planet Earth. Browne-Marshall highlights stories of individuals from all walks of life, backgrounds, and time periods who helped bring strong attention to their causes. Those examples of protest include those of Wahunsenacock, more commonly known to history as Chief Powhatan, who took on English invaders in pre-colonial America in 1607; legendary boxer Muhammad Ali's refusal to fight in Vietnam and appealed all the way to the US Supreme Court; and David Buckel, LGBTQ+ rights lawyer and environmental activist who protested against fossil fuels by committing self-immolation in 2018.
Regardless of whether these protests accomplished their end goals, Browne-Marshall reminds us that not only is dissent meaningful and impactful but is an essential tool for eliciting long lasting change.

A Relational Approach to NGOs in Global Politics: Beyond Cooperation and Competition
Maryam Zarnegar Deloffre, Sigrid Quack
English | 2025 | ISBN: 0198942729 | 285 Pages | True PDF | 3.86 MB

How do non-governmental organizations (NGOs) create the spaces in which they act, despite all the odds that are stacked against them? How do NGOs meet the requirements of the moment, often being in the right place at the right time? Why is the sum of NGO activity frequently greater than the parts?
To answer these questions, A Relational Approach to NGOs in Global Politics analyses the ways in which NGOs relate to each other as well as with states, intergovernmental organizations, businesses, and other actors. It considers NGOs as living organizations - flexible, adaptive, creative - to examine the various NGO relationships and how they are built to surmount challenges, manage complexity, and make progress. In doing so, it sheds light on their power and agency in global politics.
Maryam Zarnegar Deloffre and Sigrid Quack develop core conceptual building blocks, such as NGOing and typologies of social interactions and relational power, which are explored in empirical studies of NGOs on a range of topics. These include legal environmental conflicts, humanitarian assistance, and counterterrorism, as well as analyses of relational forms such as super-networks, meta-associations, and mergers and acquisitions.
With a broad conceptualization of NGO-NGO relationships and in-depth analysis of the forms and processes of NGO interactions, this volume expands the understanding of NGOing, promotes synthetic knowledge about the power and effects of NGO interactions, and reveals new perspectives on processes of global governing.

Tricia D. Olsen, Judith Schrempf-Stirling
English | 2025 | ISBN: 1802208976 | 242 Pages | PDF | 3.2 MB

Business and human rights (BHR) research is at a critical juncture, and this prescient Research Agenda illustrates the many nuances of historical, current, and future BHR scholarship. This volume includes chapters about relevant, pressing BHR issues; voices from practitioners; and pithy contributions from leading scholars and policymakers in the field about the future of BHR advocacy, practice, and scholarship. Utilising diverse interdisciplinary lenses, scholars and practitioners assess the many shifts and challenges BHR obligations present to traditional business operations and strategies. The editors and contributors masterfully engage with the following questions: what is BHR scholarship? How have debates about BHR evolved? What are the cutting-edge areas of research and practice that will inform the next decade and beyond of BHR research? Chapters examine these questions while investigating a wide variety of important, international case studies, from the Rana Plaza collapse to businesses weathering patterns of conflict and peace in Colombia. Ultimately, this timely Research Agenda provides a significant illustration of both the theoretical and empirical dimensions of BHR. Students and researchers of such disciplines as business ethics, diversity management, business law and human rights will find this book to be incredibly beneficial in understanding where BHR came from and where it might go to accomplish the goal of ending human rights abuses with a nexus to business. It is additionally useful for practitioners seeking to understand pressing BHR issues.

Davide Bianchi, "A Shrine to Moses: A Reappraisal of the Mount Nebo Monastic Complex Between Byzantium and Islam"
English | 2021 | ISBN: 3700186487 | PDF | pages: 291 | 247.7 mb
This book offers new insights into the Memorial of Moses on Mount Nebo, one of the most renowned coenobitic monasteries in the Byzantine period in Arabia. Between 2012 and 2014, the Studium Biblicum Franciscanum carried out new archaeological investigations in the southern wing of the monastery and in the church. The excavation in the central nave unearthed an empty tomb adorned with alabaster marble, placed on the highest point of the mountain. Starting from the archaeological data, the author critically reflects on the architectural phases of the basilica, how the monastery was run and its daily life. Special attention is also given to pilgrimages to the monastic shrines beyond the River Jordan and their progressive abandonment.

David Rhoads, "A Smaller God: On the Divinely Human Nature of Biblical Literature"
English | 2014 | ISBN: 1625644108 | EPUB | pages: 134 | 0.7 mb
The Bible is a perplexing book. It blends primitive beliefs with timeless truths, swings between compassionate love and ruthless violence, and forms a sympathetic heavenly father from the remains of a savage tribal god. What are we to make of it all? Petri Merenlahti takes an entertaining journey through biblical literature and returns with an original theology of imperfection. Looking at the Bible through the lenses of history, culture, literature, and psychology, he calls his readers to let go of an idealized image of the Christian Scriptures and embrace their limited human nature instead. This is vital, he argues, because false idealization and psychological splitting are major sources of religious fanaticism and violence. Merenlahti insists that we make a difference between the smaller God of human imagination and the transcendent God that should remain beyond it. We will then be rewarded with wisdom instead of fanaticism, mercy instead of moralism, and peace instead of hatred and guilt.

A Social Ecology of Capital
by Éric Pineault
English | 2023 | ISBN: 0745343775 | 176 Pages | PDF | 5.1 MB

An original theory of contemporary capitalist growth and its socio-ecological contradictions
'A timely and urgent analysis which seeks to comprehend our ecological plight through an elucidation of monopoly capital' - Gareth Dale, Reader in Political Economy, Brunel University
Capital is pushing into motion ever larger global material flows. In doing so it has come to depend on massive expenditures of energy, putting to work fossil fuels and the machines they animate to transform the world, accumulate power and grow the economy. The ecological relations and crises of today's societies are driven by the processes of extraction of the elements that come together as a throughput of material and energy flows controlled by capital and shaped by its imperative of valorization.
In A Social Ecology of Capital, Éric Pineault proposes an original model of the fossil social metabolism that has sustained the growth of advanced capitalism in the last century.
Drawing on ecological economics and critical political economy, the book analyses how the social structures of accumulation, production, consumption and waste determine and regulate the material flow and the accumulation of material artifacts. Showing how social relations shape the ecology of capital, the book highlights the contradictions humanity now faces.

A Soldier's Life: A Black Woman's Rise from Army Brat to Six Triple Eight Champion (The Black Soldier in War and Society) by Edna W. Cummings
English | May 8th, 2025 | ISBN: 0813953146 | 280 pages | True EPUB | 1.68 MB
One woman's extraordinary personal journey in the US military and her triumphant effort to honor her predecessors with the Congressional Gold Medal

Looking back on her remarkable career, Retired Army Colonel Edna W. Cummings can justly say that "the odds ain't good, but good stuff happens." Her story is as inspiring as it is improbable, but her memoir is about much more than herself. Chronicling Cummings's unlikely but successful path to leadership roles in the army and afterward, it also tells the story of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, known as the Six Triple Eight-a trailblazing African American World War II Women's Army Corps unit now the subject of a Netflix film and a Broadway-bound musical-and the grassroots campaign Cummings led to honor them.
In 2022, due in large part to Cummings's efforts, the Six Triple Eight was awarded the nation's highest civilian honor-the Congressional Gold Medal. Among the fewer than two hundred recipients, including the crew of Apollo 11 and the Navajo Code Talkers, the Six Triple Eight is the only women's unit to receive this prestigious decoration. In A Soldier's Life Colonel Cummings narrates her path from childhood to advocate and how she overcame incredible odds not only for herself but on behalf of those who had come before her.

A Theological Approach to Vulnerability: Towards a Humane Ethics
by Carolina Montero Orphanopoulos
English | 2025 | ISBN: 3031844157 | 245 Pages | True ePUB | 0.43 MB

This book explores the symbols of vulnerability, narratives of vulnerability, and ethical norms of vulnerability in the Bible. Focusing on the great Tradition of the Church―from Stoic and Neoplatonic influence to the Moral Systems―and the approach to the Second Vatican Council, the volume helps to comprehend, deepen and clarify the concept of vulnerability. As a theory, it addresses the construction of ethics of vulnerability, its characteristics, the fundamental categories it should include. Reinforced by "An Interdisciplinary Approach to Vulnerability: Towards a Humane Ethics (Vol I)", written by the same author, this book hopes to lead the discourse of Christian ethics towards a better understanding and ultimately build towards a greater integration of the vulnerability of the human being.

A Training School for Elephants by Sophy Roberts
English | April 22nd, 2025 | ISBN: 0802164862 | 400 pages | True EPUB | 55.60 MB
An informative, well-researched retracing of a colonial-era African expedition that brings alive the preposterous "grab for Africa," from the acclaimed author of The Lost Pianos of Siberia

In 1879, King Leopold II of Belgium launched an ambitious plan to plunder Africa's resources. The key to cracking open the continent, or so he thought, was its elephants - if only he could train them. And so he commissioned the charismatic Irish adventurer Frederick Carter to ship four tamed Asian elephants from India to the East African coast, where they were marched inland towards Congo. The ultimate aim was to establish a training school for African elephants.
Following in the footsteps of the four elephants, Roberts pieces together the story of this long-forgotten expedition, in travels that take her to Belgium, Iraq, India, Tanzania and Congo. The storytelling brings to life a compelling cast of historic characters and modern voices, from ivory dealers to Catholic nuns, set against rich descriptions of the landscapes travelled. She digs deep into historic records to reckon with our broken relationship with animals, revealing an extraordinary - and enduring - story of colonial greed, ineptitude, hypocrisy, and folly.
