ref. B9780567705211Paperback / softback. New. In this new ecological commentary on the letter to the Hebrews Jeffrey S. Lamp makes use of approaches developed in the relatively new field of Ecological Hermeneutics to shed light upon the connection of Hebrews with Earth. Hebrews is frequently characterized as portraying a dualistic cosmology that diminishes the material world muting the voice of Earth. Conversely Lamp argues that though Hebrews cannot be construed as an ecological treatise the contours of the letter's presentation may be subverted by reading from an ecological perspective such that cues provided by the author of Hebrews serve as opportunities to hear Earth's voice in the letter. Three movements corresponding to thematic interests of the author of Hebrews form the framework of this ecological reading: the Son as the agent of creation the Son depicted as the Second Adam and the New Jerusalem as the eschatological dwelling place of God. This ecological reading of Hebrews aims to shape its readers into those who fulfill the soteriological aims of God in and for the world. paperback

ref. A9780367741587Paperback / softback. New. Sport coaching has grown significantly as an area of research interest with an expanding number of sport coaching programs offered.

Game Sense for Coaching and Teaching provides an understanding of how an Australian approach to coaching has grown and developed as it is taken up across the globe. While the focus is on Game Sense it also offers insights into how any coaching or PE teaching approach changes as it is adapted to different contexts across the world examining the theoretical historical and philosophical foundations of sport coaching and teaching in schools.

ref. B9780271033266Paperback / softback. New. Development studies has not yet found a vocabulary to connect large structural processes to the ways in which people live love and labor. Producing Knowledge Protecting Forests contributes to such a vocabulary through a study of "local knowledge" that exposes the relationship between culture and political economy. Women's and men's daily practices and the meaning they give those practices show the ways in which they are not simply victims of development but active participants creating challenging and negotiating the capitalist world-system on the ground. Rather than viewing local knowledge as something to be uncovered or recovered in the service of development Light Carruyo approaches it as a dynamic process configured and reconfigured at the intersections of structural forces and lived practices. In her ethnographic case study of La Cienaga-a rural community on the edge of an important ecological preserve and national park in the Dominican Republic-Carruyo argues that Dominican economic development has rested its legitimacy on rescuing peasants from their own subsistence practices so that they may serve the nation as "productive citizens" a category that is both racialized and gendered. How have women and men in this community come to know what they know about development and well-being And how based on this knowledge do they engage with development projects and work toward well-being Carruyo illustrates how competing interests in agricultural production tourism and conservation shape collide with and are remade by local practices and logics. paperback
