It is widely understood that good, affordable eco-housing needs to be at the heart of any attempt to mitigate or adapt to climate change. This is the first book to comprehensively explore eco-housing from a geographical, social and political perspective. It starts from the premise that we already know how to build good eco-houses and we already have the technology to retrofit existing housing. Despite this, relatively few eco-houses are being built. Featuring over thirty case studies of eco-housing in Britain, Spain, Thailand, Argentina and the United States, Eco-Homes examines the ways in which radical changes to our houses – such as making them more temporary, using natural materials, or relying on manual heating and ventilation systems – require changes in how we live. As such, it argues, it is not lack of technology or political will that is holding us back from responding to climate change, but deep-rooted cultural and social understandings of our way of life and what we expect our houses to do for us.

Since 1993, forty-nine theological seminaries have created opportunities for high school students to participate in on-campus High School Theology Programs (HSTPs) that invite them to engage in serious biblical and theological study. Many of the young people who take part in these programs go on to become pastoral or lay leaders in their churches. What has made these programs so successful — especially given the well-documented “crisis of faith” among young people today? In this book thirteen contributors — many of whom have created or led one of these innovative theology programs — investigate answers to this question. They examine the pedagogical practices the HSTPs have in common and explore how they are contributing to the leadership of the church. They then show how the lessons gleaned from these successful programs can help churches, denominations, and seminaries reimagine both theological education and youth ministry.

The widely celebrated, research-based marital therapy program—now updated and revised. The highly influential book The Marriage Clinic presented a complete marital therapy program based on John Gottman’s much-heralded research on marital success and failure. Since then, Dr. Gottman has collaborated with his wife, clinical psychologist Dr. Julie Gottman, to conduct their well-known Love Lab studies, allowing the pair to design a highly successful couples’ workshop and develop their Sound Relationship House theory. Now, in the book’s first-ever revision, Dr. Gottman and Dr. Gottman incorporate the results of their studies and their most powerful interventions. In addition to its original, celebrated marital therapy program, The New Marriage Clinic includes findings on the dynamics of same-sex couples, interventions for couples recovering from situational domestic violence, strategies for couples rebuilding their marriages after an affair, and much more. No relational therapist’s bookshelf is complete without this vital update to the groundbreaking guide on marital therapy.

Welcome to the vibrant and whimsical land of Femeroon, where time seems to pulsate with an energy all its own, moving so swiftly even the fastest hummingbird would struggle to keep up. This enchanting realm is unlike any other woven from the threads of fleeting moments. In Femeroon, every creature—be it the industrious dung beetle scurrying along with a load of dung, the melodious bird flitting through the trees, or the tiny, colourful bugs darting about in the air—lives under an extraordinary truth: each has a mere 24 hours to live. Here, each day is not just a series of hours; it's a lifetime packed with experiences, joys, and sorrows, urging all to savour every fleeting second. The world sparkles with vibrant urgency as creatures hustle to explore, connect, and leave their mark. The landscape reflects this intensity, with dazzling flora blooming and fading within hours, creating a kaleidoscope of colours and scents that leaves an indelible impression. Into this whirlwind of life steps Gardiff, a character with an insatiable zest for living. From the moment his wings stretch out at dawn, glinting in the morning light, Gardiff is ready to seize the day. He's not just any gadfly; he's an enthusiast, a social butterfly of sorts—except, well, he's a gadfly with an artist’s soul and a wanderer’s heart. Femeroon reveals a breathtaking patchwork of meadows, enchanted forests, and babbling brooks. Life bustles in myriad forms—furry creatures dart between the underbrush, birds flit overhead, and insects hum busily. The air is alive with sound—the melodic hum of wings, the cheerful chatter of creatures, and the rustling of leaves in the gentle breeze. Each moment is a reminder of the fleeting nature of time, urging all beings to make the most of the day ahead. Next is The Art of the Bite; something that Gardiff finds utterly fascinating and downright cheeky. With a grin and a twinkle in his eye, Gardiff dives into the nitty-gritty of the gadfly's infamous bite. “Oh, my deadly! Nearly forgot the highlight of our existence: The bite,” Gardiff chortles. “It's our claim to fame, isn’t it? Female gadflies, bless them, have mouthparts specifically designed to pierce the skin of our unsuspecting hosts. We're not like those dainty mosquitoes who just nudge their way in; no, we carve our paths with the finesse of a master chef. Think of it as a surgical procedure, really. Once we've tapped into a blood vessel, we inject our spit, which is loaded with anticoagulants to keep the good stuff flowing. This ensures we get a splendid, uninterrupted feast, though it leaves our hosts with a bit of an itch—a small price to pay, if you ask me.” Gardiff’s tone turns more serious as he continues, “Our bites aren’t just a minor annoyance; they can be quite perilous. We're purveyors of diseases like tularaemia, splenic fever, and loa loa filariasis. This dual nature of being both fascinating and hazardous has kept scientists intrigued for ages.” So, let us now step into the enchanting world of Femeroon with "The Gadfly" by Dandy Ahuruonye. In this whimsical land, time moves at a breathtaking pace, and every creature has just 24 hours to live a lifetime. Join Gardiff, a gadfly with an insatiable zest for life, as he embarks on a whirlwind adventure from dawn to dusk. "The Gadfly" is a celebration of life's brief but brilliant moments, a tale that will leave you enchanted and inspired. Don't miss this extraordinary story of adventure, wonder, and the surprises of living in the moment. But why? Because our life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away!

This new edition of Couples Therapy tackles four challenges currently facing the field: (1) accountability and the increasing demands for demonstrating effectiveness as a condition for reimbursement, (2) the need for practitioners to reconfigure their practice patterns in an ever-involving health-care system, (3) training mental health practitioners who have not completed marital and family therapy (MFT) programs, and (4) integrating new couples approaches and interventions into everyday clinical practice. The book offers a focused vision and successful strategies for working effectively with couples, both today and tomorrow. It incorporates the best insights from the neurosciences as well as new couples theories, research, and evidence-based interventions, introducing approaches including psychoanalytic, systemic, cognitive behavioral, Adlerian, constructivist, third wave, integrative, and mindfulness-based. Chapters also present practical applications and professional considerations, with a comprehensive look at how to work with diverse issues in couples therapy, such as substance abuse, domestic violence, sexual dysfunction, infidelity, aging, and much more. This third edition of Couples Therapy is an essential resource for students as well as mental health practitioners, social workers, and family counselors who are keen to better meet the needs of couples and the demands of the changing healthcare landscape.

Stereotypically, science and emotion are diametric opposites: one is cold and unfeeling, the other soft and nebulous; one is based on proven facts while the other is based on inexplicable feelings and “never the twain shall meet,” until now. John Gottman delves into the unquantifiable realm of love, armed with science and logic, and emerges with the knowledge that relationships can be not only understood, but also predicted as well. Based on research done at his Love Lab and other laboratories, Gottman has discovered that the future of love relationships can be predicted with a startling 91% success rate. These predictions can help couples to prevent disasters in their relationships, recognize the signs of a promising relationship, and perhaps more importantly, recognize the signs of a doomed one. Principia Amoris also introduces Love Equations, a mathematical modeling of relationships that helps understand predictions. Love Equations are powerful tools that can prevent relationship distress and heal ailing relationships. Readers learn about the various research and studies that were done to discover the science behind love, and are treated to a history of the people, ideas, and events that shaped our current understanding. They also learn about: • The “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse” • 45 natural principles of love • 5 couple types • 5 recipes for good relationships • And much more! Just as science helped us to understand the physical world, it is helping us to understand the emotional world as well. Using the insights in this book, mental health professionals can meaningfully help their distressed clients, as well as better understand why a relationship is failing or succeeding. Appropriate for the curious non-mental health professional as well, Principia Amoris is a must-have on any bookshelf!

Say the words "evangelical worship" to anyone in the United States -- even if they are not particularly religious -- and a picture will likely spring to mind unbidden: a mass of white, middle-class worshippers with eyes closed, faces tilted upward, and hands raised to the sky. Yet despite the centrality of this image, many scholars have underestimated evangelical worship as little more than a manipulative effort to arouse devotional exhilaration. It is frequently dismissed as a reiteration of nineteenth-century revivalism or a derivative imitation of secular entertainment -- three Christian rock songs and a spiritual TED talk. But by failing to engage this worship seriously, we miss vital insights into a form of Protestantism that exerts widespread influence in the United States and around the world. Evangelical Worship offers a new way forward in the study of American evangelical Christianity. Weaving together insights from American religious history and liturgical studies, and drawing on extensive fieldwork in seven congregations, Melanie C. Ross brings contemporary evangelical worship to life. She argues that corporate worship is not a peripheral "extra" tacked on to a fully-formed spiritual, political, and cultural movement, but rather the crucible through which congregations forge, argue over, and enact their unique contributions to the American mosaic known as evangelicalism.
