Living with Moral Disagreement: The Enduring Controversy about Affirmative Action
by Michele S. MosesHow to handle affirmative action is one of the most intractable policy problems of our era, touching on controversial issues such as race-consciousness and social justice. Much has been written both for and against affirmative action policies--especially within the realm of educational opportunity. In this book, philosopher Michele S. Moses offers a crucial new pathway for thinking about the debate surrounding educational affirmative action, one that holds up the debate itself as an important emblem of the democratic process. Central to Moses's analysis is the argument that we need to understand disagreements about affirmative action as inherently moral, products of conflicts between deeply held beliefs that shape differing opinions on what justice requires of education policy. As she shows, differing opinions on affirmative action result from different conceptual values, for instance, between being treated equally and being treated as an equal or between seeing race-consciousness as a pernicious political force or as a necessary variable in political equality. As Moses shows, although moral disagreements about race-conscious policies and similar issues are often seen as symptoms of dysfunctional politics, they in fact create rich opportunities for discussions about diversity that nourish democratic thought and life.

Lizzie and Emma: The Buggy Spoke Series, Book 2 (The Buggy Spoke Series #2)
by Linda BylerIn Little Amish Lizzie, the first book in the Buggy Spoke series, five-year-old Lizzie moves to a new home with her family and must adjust to a new school, new house, and lots of new people. But some things stay the same, including her spunky, sensitive, and mischievous personality. It feels like her big sister Emma is just the opposite—she is sweet, respectful, and good at just about everything that Lizzie isn’t. When Lizzie and Emma begins, Lizzie is eight years old and it’s not that she wishes she weren’t the kind of girl who loves hiding for hours to read a good book or racing down too-steep hills on her sled or eating lots of doughnuts. But she does wish she could make herself walk instead of running once in awhile so she wouldn’t get in trouble at school, and she knows no one thinks she’s as pretty or as good as Emma is. Times are hard for the Glick family—Dat’s business is still not doing well and his cheerful optimism is beginning to wear thin. Lizzie and Emma are young, but they begin to understand that Dat and Mam don’t have enough money and their family might be in trouble. Will the sisters be able to put aside their differences to support each other through their family’s financial struggles, tragedy in their community, and yet more changes? This is the second book in the Buggy Spoke series, which follows Lizzie through her tumultuous teenage years as she struggles to mesh her hot temper and willful ways with her Amish faith. These books are the prequels to Linda Byler’s bestselling Lizzie Searches for Love Trilogy, geared to a younger audience (ages 8-10). Reminiscent of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House series, these books are delightful accounts of another way of life; each chapter is filled with vivid descriptions of Amish food, farms, and traditions. The series explores themes of respecting parents, not fitting in, sibling rivalry, recognizing your own shortcomings and gifts, and reconciling a strong personality with an abiding faith.
Lizzie Zipmouth
by Jacqueline WilsonLizzie refuses to speak. She doesn't want to talk to Rory or Jake, her new stepbrothers. Or to Sam, their dad. Or even to her mum. She's completely fed up with having to join a new family, and nothing can convince her to speak to them. Not football, not pizza, not a new bedroom. That is, until she meets Great-Gran - a member of the new family who is even more stubborn than she is . . .
Lizzie's Carefree Years: The Buggy Spoke Series, Book 3 (Buggy Spoke Series)
by Linda BylerBestselling Amish novelist Linda Byler’s third book in the Buggy Spoke series for young readersLizzie is nine years old now and adjusting her new home in Jefferson County. There’s so much to get used to—a new school, new friends, new ways of dressing and speaking. Mostly Lizzie loves her new life, but it’s not easy getting used to so many changes at once. Perhaps the hardest part is growing up itself. Suddenly her older sister Emma expects Lizzie to “act her age,” but what does that even mean? Is it wrong to want to splash in slush puddles, play games with friends, and run through the woods? Lizzie wants to be a good girl, but it’s confusing to know when it’s ok to have fun, how she should pray, and why she still does naughty things. Mam and Dat seem to have enough money now—there’s plenty of food and the kids even get extra special Christmas gifts. Mam smiles more and Dat seems more relaxed. But when Lizzie and Emma wake up to a room full of smoke, they realize danger can strike even when things feel the most secure. Will their new community come to their aid after the fire? And why does God allow such scary things to happen? This is the third book in the Buggy Spoke series, which follows Lizzie through her tumultuous teenage years as she struggles to mesh her hot temper and willful ways with her Amish faith. These books are the prequels to Linda Byler’s bestselling Lizzie Searches for Love Trilogy and are geared to a younger audience (ages 8–10). Reminiscent of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House series, these books are delightful accounts of another way of life; each chapter is filled with vivid descriptions of Amish food, farms, and traditions.

Lo eterno sin disimulo
by C. S. LewisLo eterno sin disimulo, es una recopilación de nueve ensayos y varias cartas anteriormente publicados en los que Lewis hace un despliegue de su capacidad para razonar con rigor y escribir con lucidez sobre el cristianismo.Hablar de lo eterno, sin caretas, sin disimulos, sin trampas, esa es la tarea a la que se entrega Lewis en este libro sustancioso. Y para ello utiliza muy distintos medios: una conferencia docta, un coloquio, un debate, una conversación entre amigos, un artículo de prensa, una carta...Toda ocasión es buena para dar testimonio de la fe y la verdad intemporal, "para mostrar a todos una noticia inaudita de plenitudes", con un afán apostólico que nos interpela. Y Lewis lo aborda con su proverbial claridad, lucidez y agudeza.Timeless at HeartTimeless at Heart, is a compilation of nine essays and several letters previously published in which Lewis displays his ability to reason rigorously and write lucidly about Christianity.Talking about the eternal, without masks, without dissimulation, without traps, that is the task to which Lewis gives himself in this substantial book. And for this he uses very different means: a learned conference, a colloquium, a debate, a conversation between friends, a press article, a letter...Every occasion is a good one to bear witness to the faith and the timeless truth, "to show everyone unprecedented news of fullness", with an apostolic eagerness that challenges us. And Lewis approaches it with his proverbial clarity, lucidity, and sharpness.
