Download or read book Among Wolves written by Timothy Pachirat and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-09 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summoned by an anonymous Prosecutor, ten contemporary ethnographers gather in an aging barn to hold a trial of Alice Goffman’s controversial ethnography, On the Run. But before the trial can get underway, a one-eyed wolfdog arrives with a mysterious liquid potion capable of rendering the ethnographers invisible in their fieldsites. Presented as a play that unfolds in seven acts, the ensuing drama provides readers with both a practical guide for how to conduct immersive participant-observation research and a sophisticated theoretical engagement with the relationship between ethnography as a research method and the operation of power. By interpolating "how-to" aspects of ethnographic research with deeper questions about ethnography’s relationship to power, this book presents a compelling introduction for those new to ethnography and rich theoretical insights for more seasoned ethnographic practitioners from across the social sciences. Just as ethnography as a research method depends crucially on serendipity, surprise, and an openness to ambiguity, the book’s dramatic and dialogic format encourages novices and experts alike to approach the study of power in ways that resist linear programs and dogmatic prescriptions. The result is a playful yet provocative invitation to rekindle those foundational senses of wonder and generative uncertainty that are all too often excluded from conversations about the methodologies and methods we bring to the study of the social world.
Download or read book Wolf Among Wolves written by Hans Fallada and published by Melville House. This book was released on 2010-05-25 with total page 816 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hailed as “Fallada’s best book” (The New Yorker), this sprawling post-WWI is a portrait of Berlin in a time of great upheaval—and of the common man’s struggle to survive it all Set in Weimar Germany soon after Germany’s catastrophic loss of World War I, the story follows a young gambler who loses everything in Berlin, then flees the chaotic city, where worthless money and shortages are causing pandemonium. Once in the countryside, however, he finds a defeated German army that has decamped there to foment insurrection. Somehow, amidst it all, he finds romance—it’s The Year of Living Dangerously in a European setting. Fast-moving as a thriller, fascinating as the best historical fiction, and with lyrical prose that packs a powerful emotional punch, Wolf Among Wolves is the equal of Fallada’s acclaimed Every Man Dies Alone as an immensely absorbing work of important literature. “An unmissably brilliant portrait of Berlin before the Nazis.” —The Times of London
Download or read book Among Wolves written by Marybeth Holleman and published by University of Alaska Press. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alaska’s wolves lost their fiercest advocate, Gordon Haber, when his research plane crashed in Denali National Park in 2009. Passionate, tenacious, and occasionally brash, Haber, a former hockey player and park ranger, devoted his life to Denali’s wolves. He weathered brutal temperatures in the wild to document the wolves and provided exceptional insights into wolf behavior. Haber’s writings and photographs reveal an astonishing degree of cooperation between wolf family members as they hunt, raise pups, and play, social behaviors and traditions previously unknown. With the wolves at risk of being destroyed by hunting and trapping, his studies advocated for a balanced approach to wolf management. His fieldwork registered as one of the longest studies in wildlife science and had a lasting impact on wolf policies. Haber’s field notes, his extensive journals, and stories from friends all come together in Among Wolves to reveal much about both the wolves he studied and the researcher himself. Wolves continue to fascinate and polarize people, and Haber’s work continues to resonate.

Book excerpt: How do we turn passive participants into active disciple makers in an ever changing urban context? We have reduced Christianity to concerts, conferences, and church services.

Among Wolves seeks to help us move to obedience to the call of Christ to labor among wolves. You will walk through eight significant movements in the book of Matthew, beginning with Jesus establishing His presence with us, to Him mobilizing an army to go and make disciples of all nations. As we follow Jesus’ patterns and teachings in Matthew, you will be equipped to establish a thriving disciple making culture in your context as your burden to see your city reached moves toward reality.

They fled with the President to a long-abandoned bunker, even as the first of the bombs began to fall. Ten years have passed, and now Gabriel is almost grown. He still lives deep inside the mountain, waiting for the world to thaw. But outside the storms continue to rage, and supplies are running low. The President says it will be okay, because they are the Chosen Ones. But Gabriel isn't so sure. Gabriel's their scavenger, and he's seen what it's like out there. Then one day Gabriel finds a bloodstained map. The blood's not a problem, nor are the frozen remains of the person it once belonged to. Gabriel's used to seeing dead bodies. There's far worse to be found in any Walmart or Piggly Wiggly you care to wander into. Except this one he recognizes, and it shouldn't be all the way out here. Now all Gabriel can think is how he's going to make it back to the bunker and let the President know what he's found. But Gabriel's troubles are only just beginning.

Book Synopsis Pope Francis Among the Wolves by : Marco Politi
Download or read book Pope Francis Among the Wolves written by Marco Politi and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2015-09-15 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A behind-the-scenes view of the power struggles within the Vatican and “a look inside the byzantine halls of the institutional Catholic Church.”—Publishers Weekly A journalist who has long covered the Vatican, Marco Politi takes us deep inside the struggle roiling the Roman Curia and the Catholic Church worldwide, beginning with Benedict XVI, the pope who famously resigned in 2013, and intensifying with the unexpected election of Jorge Mario Bergoglio, archbishop of Buenos Aires, now known as Pope Francis. Politi’s account balances the perspectives of Pope Francis’s supporters, Benedict’s sympathizers, and those disappointed members of the laity who feel alienated by the institution’s secrecy, financial corruption, and refusal to modernize. Politi dramatically recounts the sexual scandals that have rocked the church and the accusations of money laundering and other financial misdeeds swirling around the Vatican and the Italian Catholic establishment, and how Pope Francis’s attempts to address these crimes has been met with resistance from entrenched factions. He writes of the decline in church attendance and vocations to the priesthood as the church continues to prohibit divorced and remarried Catholics from receiving Communion. He visits European parishes where women perform the functions of missing male priests—and where the remaining parishioners would welcome the ordination of women, if the church would allow it. Pope Francis’s emphasis on pastoral compassion for all who struggle with the burden of family life has also provoked the ire of traditionalists. He knows from experience what life is like for the poor in South America and elsewhere, and highlights the contrast between the vital, vibrant faith of these parishioners and the disillusionment of European Catholics. As Pope Francis and his supporters are locked in battle with the defenders of the traditional hard line and with ecclesiastical corruption, the future of Catholicism is at stake—and it is far from certain Francis will succeed in saving the institution from decline.

That man turns out to be Father Jack Cahill, a renegade exorcist who was unaware he’d fathered a child before taking his vows. Cyndi is soon drawn into Father Jack’s world, where demons from Hell are possessing humans and robbing Europe’s churches of sacred relics. From the cathedrals of Paris, through the graveyards of France, and into the sewers of Rome, they confront the possessed, battle risen corpses, and fight gang members sent to stop them.

Book Synopsis Among the Wolves of Court by : Lauren Mackay
Download or read book Among the Wolves of Court written by Lauren Mackay and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-09-30 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tragic story of Anne Boleyn has been retold over the centuries, yet two key figures in Anne's life-her father Thomas and brother George- are often relegated to the margins of Henry VIII's turbulent reign. Well before Anne's coronation in 1533, Thomas was regarded as one of Henry's most skilled and experienced ambassadors, and George was a talented young courtier on the rise. But Anne's downfall was to have a devastating effect on her family – ultimately costing her and her brother their lives. A family whose success and prestige had been shaped over generations was destroyed in a violent and brutal episode as the king sought a new wife and a male heir. In this first biography devoted to the Boleyn men, Lauren Mackay takes us beyond the stereotypes of Thomas and George to present a story that has almost been lost to history. This book follows the Boleyn men as they negotiated their way through the ruthless game of politics among the wolves of the court, and establishes their place in Tudor history.
Book Synopsis A Sheep Among Wolves by : R. Joseph Owles
Download or read book A Sheep Among Wolves written by R. Joseph Owles and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-12 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if we really believed that God is love? What if we really believed that God is patient, and kind, and humble, forgiving and accepting? What if we really believed that God asks us to be patient, and kind, and humble, forgiving and accepting toward God and toward the people in our lives? How would the world look if all of us who claim to be Christian just took that one, simple idea and made it the foundation of our lives? Would the world be a different place? Would the Church look the same? These are a few of the many questions Father R. Joseph Owles asks himself and his readers.A SHEEP AMONG WOLVES: One Man's Stubborn Commitment to the Idea That GOD IS LOVE is a collection of meditations (called “Blessays”) centered on that one, simple idea that God is love. Some of these Blessays are meditations on daily lectionary readings, some are the result of passing thoughts, and some are based on conversations and questions asked by others, as well as questions posited by Father R. Joseph Owles himself.Father Owles asserts .that if God is love, then love is not what God does, Love is what God is! If we really believe that God is really love, then whatever we do in the name of God must be done with love because if it is not done with love, then it is not done for God – who is love. If God is love, then Kingdom of God is really the Kingdom of Love; Jesus Christ is really the Son of Love; and we are all the People of Love.This is theology at its best – down to earth, accessible, practical, and applicable. It is a must read for all who strive to live as a faithful disciple of Jesus Christ regardless of church affiliation or tradition.

As the detectives track clues that could lead to an arrest, Sophia begins to question her own commitments, the motivations of those around her and her sanity.
