Reverence: Renewing A Forgotten Virtue
by Paul WoodruffReverence is an ancient virtue that survives among us in half-forgotten patterns of civility and moments of inarticulate awe. Reverence gives meaning to much that we do, yet the word has almost passed out of our vocabulary. <p><p> Reverence, says philosopher and classicist Paul Woodruff, begins in an understanding of human limitations. From this grows the capacity to be in awe of whatever we believe lies outside our control -- God, truth, justice, nature, even death. It is a quality of character that is especially important in leadership and in teaching, although it figures in virtually every human relationship. It transcends religious boundaries and can be found outside religion altogether. <p><p> Woodruff draws on thinking about this lost virtue in ancient Greek and Chinese traditions and applies lessons from these highly reverent cultures to today's world. The book covers reverence in a variety of contexts -- the arts, leadership, teaching, warfare, and the home -- and shows how essential a quality it is to a well-functioning society. <p><p> First published by Oxford University Press in 2001, this new edition of Reverence is revised and expanded. It contains a foreword by Betty Sue Flowers, Distinguished Teaching Professor Emeritus at the University of Texas at Austin, a new preface, two new chapters -- one on the sacred and one on compassion -- and an epilogue focused on renewing reverence in our own lives.

Co-Occurring Mental Illness and Substance Use Disorders
by Jonathan D. Avery John W. BarnhillCo-occurring Mental Illness and Substance Use Disorders: A Guide to Diagnosis and Treatment presents an evidence-based approach to patients with at least two psychiatric disorders, one of which relates to substance use. Because co-occurring disorders are more the rule than the exception in psychiatry, the editors emphasize that patients should be carefully evaluated for a broad range of disorders, which should then be addressed clinically. The range of psychiatric disorders and the number of substances of abuse create complexity that can feel overwhelming to clinicians, and the book addresses this challenge by providing straightforward strategies for diagnosing and treating people with complicated presentations. The chapters are case-based and written in an accessible style that highlights commonalities, thus making it easy to understand and apply. Co-occurring Mental Illness and Substance Use Disorders: A Guide to Diagnosis and Treatment tackles a complicated subject area with rigor and real-world expertise, improving the standard of care delivered by clinicians who work with this population as well as the lives of the many people who suffer with these co-occurring disorders.
Camping with Kierkegaard: Faithfulness as a Way of Life
by J. Aaron SimmonsIn this book, Aaron Simmons takes us on a trip to the mountains to reflect on the meaning of life. In a world too often defined by a quest for “success” that leaves us empty, alone, and anxious, Simmons seeks “faithfulness“ outdoors with thinkers and artists from Aristotle to Kierkegaard, Sartre to Anne Lamott, and Kendrick Lamar to Donovan Woods. Simmons invites us to rethink what it means to make choices, take risks, be alone and silent while cultivating friendships, and to find our calling by facing our vulnerability. In the end, Simmons shows that faithfulness is more than a religious concept. It is about living a life of risk with direction.

Consuming Crisis: Commodifying Care and COVID-19 (Social Science for Social Justice)
by Francesca SobandeConsuming Crisis is a crucial account of how consumer culture capitalized on Coronavirus (COVID-19). Sobande explores how brands claim to care while they encourage people to ‘keep calm and consume’. This critical analysis of the power and politics of marketing examines an eclectic mix of campaigns, content, and experiences.
