Boomerang ethics : how racism affects us all<\/a> \/Joseph Mensah & Christopher J. Williams.
\n<\/strong>A must read, this book argues that ethics of altruism and social justice are inadequate to curb racism because they neglect the impact of racism on whites. Just like a boomerang, acts of hatred and racism against people of colour and even unsolicited and sometimes unconscious exertions of white privilege ultimately come back to harm almost everyone in society.<\/p>\n

Engaging Japanese philosophy : a short history<\/a> \/Thomas P. Kasulis.
\n<\/strong>For readers new to Japanese studies, Kasulis provides a simplified guide to understanding the Japanese language and how its syntax, orthography, and linguistic layers can serve the philosophical purposes of a skilled writer and subtle thinker. For those familiar with the Japanese cultural tradition, Kasulis clarifies philosophical expressions and problems, Western as well as Japanese.<\/p>\n

\"\"Gaming masculinity : trolls, fake geeks, and the gendered battle for online culture<\/a> \/Megan Condis.
\n<\/strong>This book explains how the term \u201cgamer\u201d has been constructed in the popular imagination by a core group of male online users in an attempt to shore up an embattled form of geeky masculinity. Condis demonstrates that, despite the supposedly disembodied nature of life online, performances of masculinity are still afforded privileged status in gamer culture. Condis asks what this moment can teach us about the performative, collaborative, and sometimes combative ways that American culture enacts race, gender, and sexuality.<\/p>\n

The Greek of the Pentateuch : Grinfield Lectures on the Septuagint 2011-2012<\/a> \/John A. l. Lee.
\n<\/strong>This volume builds on Lee’s previous work on the vocabulary of the Pentateuch and explores topics such as the use of evidence, language variation, educated language, the presence of Greek idiom, the translators’ collaboration, and freedom of choice in dealing with Hebrew text. The book presents a wide range of examples, comprising both vocabulary and syntax, from the Septuagint, Greek papyri of the period found in Egypt, and Classical and Koine Greek literature.<\/p>\n

Humanizing the education machine : how to create schools that turn disengaged kids into inspired learners<\/a> \/Rex Miller, Bill Latham, Brian Cahill.
\n<\/strong>This book describes how the education system has become ineffective by not adapting to fit students’ needs, learning styles, perspectives, and lives at home. The authors explain how schools can evolve to engage students and involve parents, and how to equip educators, administrators, and communities.<\/p>\n

\"\"Message of Psalms 1-72 : songs for the people of God<\/a> \/Michael Wilcock.
\n<\/strong>Wilcock has written a travel guide to the Psalms, being one of the most popular books in the Bible. Yet, not many understand that the individual psalms arose from an assortment of times, experiences and settings, and that the book is composed in a deliberate pattern, not as a random anthology. Wilcock guides the reader into the meaning of the Psalms as discovered in their particular patterns and order.<\/p>\n

Nursing research : generating and assessing evidence for nursing practice<\/a> \/Denise F. Polit
\n<\/strong>\u00a0A must read for nursing students, this updated 10th<\/sup> edition, incorporates new methodological advances and substantive examples used to illustrate concepts.<\/p>\n

Tattoo culture : theory and contemporary contexts<\/a> \/Lee Barron.
\n<\/strong>This book explores why so many social actors choose to wear tattoos through examining the historical, cultural and media perspectives surrounding tattoos. Barron also examines the ways in which tattoos alter social actors\u2019 sense of being and their relationship with time in the semiotic ways with which they communicate, to themselves or to the wider world, key elements of their bodily and personal identity and sense of being.<\/p>\n

\"\"Trans kids : being gendered in the twenty-first century<\/a> \/Tey Meadow.
\n<\/strong>Trans Kids is an ethnographic and interview-based study of the first generation of families affirming and facilitating gender nonconformity in children. Meadow depicts the intricate social processes that shape gender acquisition.\u00a0 This book\u00a0<\/em>underscores the centrality of ever more particular configurations of gender in both our physical and psychological lives, and the increasing embeddedness of personal identities in social institutions.<\/p>\n

Why Indigenous literature’s\u00a0matter<\/b><\/a> \/Daniel Heath Justice.<\/b>
\nThis book asserts the vital significance of literary expression to the political, creative, and intellectual efforts of Indigenous peoples today. In considering the connections between literature and lived experience, this book contemplates four key questions at the heart of Indigenous kinship traditions: How do we learn to be human? How do we become good relatives? How do we become good ancestors? How do we learn to live together? Justice argues that Indigenous writers engage with these questions in part to challenge settler-colonial policies and practices that have targeted Indigenous connections to land, history, family, and self.<\/p>\n
