History illustrates the power of religion to bring about change. Mary Evelyn Tucker describes how world religions have begun to move from a focus on God-human and human-human relations to encompass human-earth relations. She argues that, in light of the environmental crisis, religion should move from isolated orthodoxy to interrelated dialogue and use its authority for liberation rather than oppression.

From the author of Whimsical Worldly Wonders comes an anthology of poems that provide lyrical rhythm and rhyme and evokes the imagination and wonder of childhood memories. It brings together a collection of a child's interaction with the natural world; spent running across an open meadow, days fishing in a creek, and seeing a menagerie of colors dancing playfully. It provides an oasis to find tranquility in our rapidly changing world. The book is meant to unleash the endless imagination and creativity that is developed during early childhood. It seeks to help build a foundation for phonemic awareness, rhyme, and phonetics, the precursors to developing strong readers. It provides an invitation for readers to make inferences to meaning of the author's intended message by creating strong images through words to encourage the reader's curiosity

The Earth needs our attention--the best of our intellectual, ethical, and spiritual wisdom and action. In this collection, written in honor of Elizabeth A. Johnson, scholars from the United States and around the world contribute their insights on how theology today can and must turn to the world in new ways in light of contemporary science and our ecological crisis. The essays in this collection advance theological visions for the human task of healing our destructive relationship with the earth and envision hope for our planet's future.

The people of the Kentucky mountains and the southern Appalachians preserved a language alive with colorful turns of phrase and whimsical wit and for their amusement they created a rich vein of oral lore—songs, tales, and games. James Still presents a varied and entertaining collection of riddles, whimsies, and verbal pranks, gathered through his long association with the mountain people of eastern Kentucky. This book includes in one volume two earlier books—Way Down Yonder on Troublesome Creek and The Wolfpen Rusties—that have been unavailable for several years. It contains the complete text of the original editions, including Still's explanatory notes for archaic or obscure expressions. Also included are the original lively illustrations by the noted artist Janet McCaffery.
