Together the essays in this brilliantly conceived collection reveal the strengths of global activism. While presenting indigenous and local wisdom, these essays document the effectiveness of engaged local community through a myriad of lenses – whether indigenous food sovereignty, or environmental groups, or climate, economic and social justice movements. Along with glimpses of an innovative, potential and future well-being for us all, these pages give us a wide and fertile ground for change. Susan Griffin, author Woman and Nature (2016). 

"Think globally, act locally"—there’s a lot of wisdom in that slogan, but what is the difference between globalism and globalization? Can localization work for the wellbeing of the whole planet? The contributors to this volume look at these issues through the complementary lenses of economic and environmental justice, racism, ecopsychology, permaculture, indigenous rights, digital technology, and mobilization strategies. The result is a thoughtful and useful response to the social and ecological crises that challenge us today. David Loy, author of Ecodharma: Buddhist Teachings for the Ecological Crisis (2019)

A provocative collection of diverse climate justice voices from the ground that engages globalism as one of the most important paradigms of our time and analyzes how globalization has the potential to destroy our sense of place, belonging, and location. As our increasingly globalized world thrusts and displaces individuals and collective societies beyond our locations into larger unfamiliar and abstract spaces occupied by market profiteers, transnational corporations, and state governments, these authors offer perspectives, emergent solutions, and hope for our social and ecological crisis. Advocating and reclaiming a paradigm of localization could be truly transformative. This is an important book to read. Suzanne Benally, Executive Director, Cultural Survival

From the first word of the "Dedication" to the last sentence of the final chapter, this book’s radical thinkers open vistas to the futures we want. They do this via a relational understanding of the meanings of social justice and their deep and nuanced intersectional engagements with climate justice, indigenous struggles, food sovereignty, the promises and perils of digital organizing, living better (as in buen vivir) and transforming selves and worlds at the same time. This book’s heart is in just the right place, the space where ordinary people’s activism reaches toward total liberation, from the community just down the street to the ends of the pluriverse and everywhere between and betwixt. John Foran, Scholar-Activist, and Professor of Sociology, University of California, Santa Barbara

‘"Community punishments" are characteristic of criminal justice systems everywhere, but as this new volume vividly illustrates, the nature of these measures varies markedly from place to place and from time to time. Drawing on specially-commissioned expert accounts of community penalties in eleven European nations, Robinson and McNeill provide a fascinating, indispensable guide to the problems, trends and controversies that affect community-based punishment in Europe today. The result is a deepened theoretical understanding of the important issues at stake.’ - David Garland, Professor, School of Law and the Department of Sociology, New York University, USA　
‘Notwithstanding new interest in comparative criminology, and descriptions of what is available in Europe, we know relatively little about how community punishments and interventions are conceived, so this is a hugely welcome book. The editors and contributors have put together a scholarly collection of European case studies which not only locate different forms of community punishments in different contexts, but reveal adaptations over time, and in particular the interplay of managerial, punitive, rehabilitative, reparative and technological pushes and pulls. This is an insightful and rich text which addresses how community punishments have evolved and survived in late modern social and penal conditions; it is a wholly　interesting and original book of real importance.’ - Loraine Gelsthorpe, Professor of Criminology & Criminal Justice, University of Cambridge and President of the British Society of Criminology, UK
"Community Punishment: European Perspectives, edited by Fergus McNeill and Gwen Robinson, goes beyond simply charting patterns of community punishment across Europe to also explore how they are underpinned by social, political, historical and cultural factors. It considers how and why community punishment has been legitimized and evolved across Europe in response to differing local context and offers an engaging account of the contributions and limitations (methodological and theoretical) of comparative criminological research. For all of these achievements, it forms a very welcome addition to the study of both community supervision and comparative criminology… Such rich and theoretically informed accounts of penal variation and change are essential if we are to understand, and ultimately reimagine, community punishment." - Katrina Morrison, University of Napier, Edinburgh, UK, Criminology and Criminal Justice

"[Godoy] provides an excellent analysis of free trade and human rights as parallel global paradigms....While targeting an audience of human rights and health advocates, this well-organized book is suitable for courses on political and legal anthropology, human rights, globalization, and social movements. Sophisticated theoretical discussion makes this book most appropriate for graduate level seminars or advanced undergraduate courses, and ideally readers should have some background knowledge about Latin America."

This lovely tale told in rhyme makes a great read-aloud as it shares the woodland legend behind fairy stones&mdash;real cross-shaped rocks said to have formed from tears of fairies when they learned that Jesus had died. Fairies of all sorts grace the book's pages and protect against ghouls, trolls, fools, and more. Also includes facts about real-life Fairy Stones, and gorgeous illustrations hide fairy stones throughout. &mdash;Kristen Kemp, Mother, Yoga Instructor, and Author of over a dozen books for teens, including Breakfast at Bloomingdale's and Redemption. Jesus told us that stones could cry out to honor him, and indeed, fairy rocks send us a message that is ages old. Kelly White brings us an enchanting legend of small fairy rocks shaped like crosses to connect a child&rsquo;s imagination to the true treasure that comes with faith in Jesus. &mdash;Karen Whiting&nbsp;(www.karenwhiting.com) award-winning author, international speaker, writing coach, and treasurer, Christian Authors Network Board of DirectorsI'd never heard of staurolite before reading Kelly's beautiful book. I am captivated by her magical prose coupled with centuries of art tying the legend of the fairy stones to the death—and resurrection—of Christ. -Nathan Whitaker, New York Times best-selling author (Through His Eyes with Tim Tebow, Uncommon and The Mentor Leader with Tony Dungy, Role of a Lifetime with James Brown, and many other book titles) The Legend of the Fairy Stones breathes fresh life into a little-known, ages-old fairy tale. Author and collage artist Kelly Anne White cleverly wraps rhythmic verse around an astounding collection of artwork from the public domain. Although anchored in visual and oral tradition, this truly beautiful reimagining of a folkloric legend remains rich in originality. -Kim Childress, book reviewer and editor, Girls' Life magazine
The rhyming verses add to the magical feel of the story and make it captivating and enthralling to young readers. The images are as beautiful as the verses and for all readers who love magic, fairies, and enchantment, this book is a perfect read. I like the way the author weaves educational and informative content into the book, along with folklore and staurolite crystals in a way that is endearing and appealing. The book is not only for children because adults will also find it interesting and engaging. The legend of the fairy stones, and the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ have been tied together beautifully, making readers aware of staurolite crystals and the folklore associated with them.

A unique stand-alone picture book, "The Legend of the Fairy Stones" by Kelly Anne White shares the fictional legend of how real-life fairy stones were formed. Woodland lore has it that the cross-shaped stones came from the solidified tears of forest fairies the day they heard that Jesus died. "The Legend of the Fairy Stones" takes young readers ages 4-10 on an upbeat journey through a land filled with joyful fairies of all varieties before twisting and turning into a world of evils and ill wills combated by a sense of fearlessness found in the spirit of the fairy stones. It's been deemed that fairy stones repel witches, ghosts, goblins, ghouls, and all other types of ghastly fools. With its rhythmic text and classic fairy-tale style, "The Legend of the Fairy Stones" cleverly integrates fantastical folklore in a collage-style montage of amazing artwork from the public domain. These very real stone crosses, officially called Staurolite, form naturally through a geothermal process known as "cruciform penetration twinning". Alongside its elements of fantasy and whimsy, "The Legend of the Fairy Stones" remains grounded in educational content with back matter that focuses sharply on STEAM and Common Core Standards, making it an ideal and recommended addition to both community and elementary school library collections.

The Legend of the Fairy Stones

Letters of Matthew Arnold, 1848-1888; Volume 2

Winner of the 2021 Suraj Mal and Shyama Devi Agarwal Book PrizeThe Prize Committee found the winning book to be highly original in its treatment of the relationship between neoliberalism, religiously structured patriarchy, and gender in Turkey. The authors trace the evolution of Islamist conservative thought, which had initially stood in contradiction to neoliberal policies and values, but has now evolved to incorporate neoliberal values, with deep negative impacts on education, employment and health inequality by gender.
