Assertive Religion Religious Intolerance in a Multicultural World

Assertive Religion Religious Intolerance in a Multicultural World

Questions about religions and religious institutions have changed dramatically since they first arose many years ago. In the beginning of the twenty-first century the link of religion with extreme ideologies captures our attention. Such questions have been the focus of a steadily growing number of books. What does Assertive Religion add to the debate?Emanuel de Kadt discusses the relationship of religion to wider social issues such as human rights and multiculturalism. He traces the growth during the religious revival over the past decades of assertive and even coercive forms of religion notably but not exclusively fundamentalist varieties. He deals with these questions as they relate to the three major Abrahamic religions thereby addressing a readership wider than that made up of persons interested exclusively in Judaism Christianity or Islam. The author takes on issues such as the effects of the Jewishness of Israel on the rights of Palestinians; the consequences of the centralized authority structure of the Roman Catholic Church; and the implications of the failure of reform-oriented Muslims to make their voices heard in an organized Islamic reform movement. He is even-handed focusing on both positive and negative features of each religious perspective though he does have a clear viewpoint. Assertive Religion adds to increasingly sharp political discussions on issues arising out of religion. It is a must read for anyone interested in how religion is shaping the world of tomorrow. | Assertive Religion Religious Intolerance in a Multicultural World

Debate and Dialogue Christian and Pagan Cultures c. 360-430

Debate and Dialogue Christian and Pagan Cultures c. 360-430

This book explores the construction of Christian identity in fourth and fifth centuries through inventing fabricating and sharpening binary oppositions. Such oppositions for example Christians - pagans; truth - falsehood; the one true god - the multitude of demons; the right religion - superstition served to create and reinforce the Christian self-identity. The author examines how the Christian argumentation against pagans was intertwined with self-perception and self-affirmation. Discussing the relations and interaction between pagan and Christian cultures this book aims at widening historical understanding of the cultural conflicts and the otherness in world history thus contributing to the ongoing discussion about the historical and conceptual basis of cultural tolerance and intolerance. This book offers a valuable contribution to contemporary scholarly debate about Late Antique religious history and the relationship between Christianity and other religions. | Debate and Dialogue Christian and Pagan Cultures c. 360-430

Gestational Diabetes Origins Complications and Treatment

Gestational Diabetes Origins Complications and Treatment

Given the rapid increase in the worldwide incidence of gestational diabetes the need for defining the risks and effects associated with raised glucose concentrations in pregnancy is great. Recent large studies are helping to define the risks as well as identify the benefits of reducing glucose intolerance. Written by an esteemed list of international authors Gestational Diabetes: Origins Complications and Treatment presents timely reviews relating to some of the most important aspects of gestational diabetes specifically its causes consequences and treatments. Divided into five sections the book begins with a section on metabolism in pregnancy and gestational diabetes dealing with maternal and foetal glucose metabolism and the controversial area of what actually constitutes gestational diabetes. The next section examines risk factors and causes of gestational diabetes including the obvious but often overlooked factors—being female and pregnant. The text also outlines environmental and genetic risk factors. The third section deals with the potential complications of gestational diabetes for both mother and offspring considering short-term and long-term effects. The largest section in the book addresses treatments in an effort to improve the outcome for the mother and the baby. Chapters describe the nutritional approach considered the cornerstone of treating gestational diabetes as well as evidence for the role of exercise in its treatment and a useful strategy for treating gestational diabetes pharmacologically.

Intellectual Disability and Being Human A Care Ethics Model

Intellectual Disability and Being Human A Care Ethics Model

Intellectual disability is often overlooked within mainstream disability studies and theories developed about disability and physical impairment may not always be appropriate when thinking about intellectual (or learning) disability. This pioneering book in considering intellectually disabled people's lives sets out a care ethics model of disability that outlines the emotional caring sphere where love and care are psycho-socially questioned the practical caring sphere where day-to-day care is carried out and the socio-political caring sphere where social intolerance and aversion to difficult differences are addressed. It does so by discussing issue-based everyday life such as family relationships media representations and education in an evocative and creative manner. This book draws from an understanding of how intellectual disability is represented in all forms of media a feminist ethics of care and capabilities as well as other theories to provide a critique and alternative to the social model of disability as well as illuminate care-less spaces that inhabit all the caring spheres. The first two chapters of the book provide an overview of intellectual disability the debates surrounding disability and outline the model. Having begun to develop an innovative theoretical framework for understanding intellectual disability and being human the book then moves onto empirical and narrative driven issue-based chapters. The following chapters build on the emergent framework and discuss the application of particular theories in three different substantive areas: education mothering and sexual politics. The concluding remarks draw together the common themes across the applied chapters and link them to the overarching theoretical framework. An important read for all those studying and researching intellectual or learning disability this book will be an essential resource in sociology philosophy criminology (law) social work education and nursing in particular. | Intellectual Disability and Being Human A Care Ethics Model

Internal Displacement and Conflict The Kashmiri Pandits in Comparative Perspective

Internal Displacement and Conflict The Kashmiri Pandits in Comparative Perspective

Grounded in multidisciplinary research this book presents a methodical understanding of those displaced within their national borders the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). The IDP phenomenon remains less understood than that of refugees due to the internal nature of the crisis linked to a nation’s sovereignty which assigns the responsibility for care to the national actors as opposed to an international body. However the IDP phenomenon poses an international humanitarian challenge with upwards of 40 million people currently in internal displacement across the globe. This book helps answer the most perplexing questions surrounding conflict-induced protracted displacements: namely how do positions embraced by key actors inform/influence IDP policies and why despite the promise of robust return packages do families remain reluctant to return to home communities and equally reluctant to embrace new host communities? Capitalizing on the diagnostic tool kit known as Dugan’s Nested Model uniquely adapted to the Kashmiri Pandit displacement this book also analyzes issues of the similarly displaced communities of Nagorno-Karabakh Abkhazia and South Ossetia Kosovo and Darfur regions. This book will be of much interest to students of peace and conflict studies humanitarianism Asian politics and International Law in general. | Internal Displacement and Conflict The Kashmiri Pandits in Comparative Perspective
