Treasuring the Treasure: Exploring Spirituality
An inspirational guide to finding deeper spirituality and meaning in life, by Ronald N. Beshara, STL, JCL. While grounded in the author's Christian experience, this is a book for everyone who wants to explore a relationship with God, self and others, and to becoming a more active participant in one's own life. In his book, Monsignor Beshara urges us to celebrate the journey of life rather than anticipate the completion of some quest or goal. Whether in recovery from chemical dependency or not, readers will resonate with Msgr. Beshara's descriptions of spirituality within the Twelve Step Journey. In engaging style, the author explores such profound questions as "Is this all there is?" "What is Spirituality and how do I 'get' it?" With scripture, personal stories, and insights from philosophers, world history's religious leaders, authors and scholars, Msgr. Beshara vividly draws in the reader to explore spiritual fulfilment. He employs exercises and capsuled lessons at the end of each chapter. The seemingly simple is often the most illusive. To find spirituality, Msgr. Beshara leads us back to a truth that life itself in the treasure. In a society that is consumed with achievement and acquisition, there is little time for contemplation, self-knowledge or appreciation of the moment. The author shows that "love serves life," that service is ultimately fulfilling..

Rediscovering Palestine: Merchants and Peasants in Jabal Nablus, 1700-1900
Drawing on previously unused primary sources, this book paints an intimate and vivid portrait of Palestinian society on the eve of modernity Through the voices of merchants, peasants, and Ottoman officials, Beshara Doumani offers a major revision of standard interpretations of Ottoman history by investigating the ways in which urban-rural dynamics in a provincial setting appropriated and gave meaning to the larger forces of Ottoman rule and European economic expansion. He traces the relationship between culture, politics, and economic change by looking at how merchant families constructed trade networks and cultivated political power, and by showing how peasants defined their identity and formulated their notions of justice and political authority. Original and accessible, this study challenges nationalist constructions of history and provides a context for understanding the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. It is also the first comprehensive work on the Nablus region, Palestine's trade, manufacturing, and agricultural heartland, and a bastion of local autonomy. Doumani rediscovers Palestine by writing the inhabitants of this ancient land into history..

Academic Freedom after September 11
Are the attacks on academic freedom after 9/11 a passing storm, or do they represent a structural shift that undermines one of the pillars of democratic societies? This book brings together some of this nation's leading scholars to analyze the challenges to academic freedom posed by post-9/11 political interventions and the market-driven commercialization of knowledge, examining these issues in light of the major transformations in the system of higher education since the Second World War, including conflicting interpretations of what constitutes academic freedom. Following an analysis of the historical significance of the post-9/11 threats to academic freedom, three strongly argued and not easily reconcilable essays by Robert Post, Judith Butler, and Philippa Strum discuss what visions of academic freedom can be defended and the best strategies for doing so. Three case studies--Kathleen J. Frydl on the loyalty-oath and free-speech controversies at the University of California, Amy Newhall on the tortured relationship between universities and the government as seen in language acquisition programs, and Joel Beinin on the policing of thought in the academy in relation to the Middle East--deepen our understanding of what is at stake. In clear and powerful prose, these essays provide a solid platform for informed classroom and public discussions on the philosophical foundations, institutional practices, and political dimensions of academic freedom on the threshold of the twenty-first century..
