Trinity and Election in
Contemporary Theology
2011
This work showcases the writings of several prominent voices in
contemporary theology on the theology of Karl Barth's
interpretation of the relation between the Trinity and the doctrine
of election. Is the Trinity complete in and of itself from all
eternity, or is the Trinity of God constituted through God's
historical relations with God's creatures? This book brings
together some of the leading international experts in Karl Barth's
theology to debate this important issue for our time. |

Finding Salvation in Christ: Essays
on Christology and Soteriology in Honor of William P. Loewe
2011
Finding Salvation in Christ brings together some of the most
important figures in contemporary theology to honor the work of
William Loewe, systematic theologian and specialist in the theology
of Bernard Lonergan, SJ. For over three decades Loewe's writings
have sought to make classic christological and soteriological
doctrines comprehensible to a Catholic Church that is working to
integrate individual subjectivity, communal living, and historical
consciousness in the wake of the Second Vatican Council. Essays
included in this volume assess Loewe's reinterpretation of
patristic and medieval Christology from Irenaeus to Anselm of
Canterbury, and explain the significance of the theology of
Lonergan and Loewe for the fields of soteriology, economics, family
life, and interreligious theology. |

Protecting One’s Turf
2005
This book is a community study of Greenpoint, Brooklyn. It
focuses on how in the course of their everyday lives, residents
engage in racial exclusion and segregation. The book analyzes the
informal strategies used in the process, which include: an informal
housing network; local surveillance; and social segregation through
local institutions. This revised edition discusses gentrification
as the most recent change in Greenpoint, and how it took hold in
such a strongly defended neighborhood.

 | | Gender in an Urban World
2008
This book is an edited collection of articles with a global and
interdisciplinary urban focus analyzed through a gendered lens. It
contributes to a school of feminist urban theory by bringing the
analysis of gender to the center of the discourse. This book also
participates in an ongoing dialogue with regard to gender within
the context of urbanism and urbanization. |

 | | Gentrification and Inequality in
Brooklyn: The New Kids on the Block
2009
This book is a sociological analysis of the process of
gentrification in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The study focuses on the
ways in which working class residents and new gentrifiers are
socially segregated forming parallel cultures within the
neighborhood. The investigation arrives at urban theory, which
argues that through local dynamics, social inequality is
reproduced. |

The World in Brooklyn:
Gentrification, Immigration, and Ethnic Politics
2012
This is a collection of contemporary research studies on Brooklyn,
New York. “This book is a collection of demographic, ethnographic,
and comparative studies, which focus on urban dynamics in Brooklyn.
The chapters investigate issues of social class, urban development,
immigration, race, ethnicity and politics within the context of
Brooklyn.
As a whole, this book considers both theoretical and practical
urban issues. In most cases, the scholarly perspective is on
everyday life. With this in mind, there are also social justice
concerns. Issues of social segregation and attendant homogenization
are brought to light. Moreover, social class and race advantages or
disadvantages, as part of urban processes, are underscored through
critiques of local policy decisions throughout the chapters. A
common thread is the assertion by contributors that planning the
future of Brooklyn needs to include multi-ethnic, racial, and
economic groups, those very residents who make up Brooklyn.”

Ordinary Poverty: A Little Food and
Cold Storage
2006
In this trenchant and groundbreaking work, DiFazio presents the
results of welfare reform—from ending entitlements to diminished
welfare benefits—through the eyes and voices of those who were most
directly affected by it. Ordinary Poverty concludes with a program
to guarantee universal rights to a living wage as a crucial way to
end poverty. Ultimately, DiFazio articulates the form a true poor
people's movement would take—one that would link the interests of
all social movements with the interests of ending poverty. |

Anger Disorders Scale:
Technical Manual
2005
Despite the problems that it causes in people’s lives, anger
has
not been considered a clinical phenomenon in psychology.
This
manual represents the development of the Anger Disorder Scale to
assess dysfunctional aspects of anger in clinical populations.
Research on more than 1,100 normal individuals and more than 500
patients or prison inmates is described to establish the
reliability and validity of the test. |

 | | Understanding Anger
Disorders
2007
Since classical times, philosophers and physicians have
identified anger as a human frailty that can lead to violence and
human suffering, but with the development of a modern science of
abnormal psychology and mental disorders, it has been written off
as merely an emotional symptom and excluded from most accepted
systems of psychiatric diagnosis. Yet despite the lack of
scientific recognition, anger-related violence is often in the
news, and courts are increasingly mandating anger management
treatment. It is time for a fresh scientific examination of one of
the most fundamental human emotions and what happens when it
becomes pathological, and this thorough, persuasive book offers
precisely such a probing analysis. |
