'David Clough describes and evaluates the ethical thought of Karl Barth clearly, knowledgeably, and originally.  He makes a formidable case that the concepts of crisis and dialectic Barth offered in the 1922 version of his Epistle to the Romans remain critical for interpreting the later Church Dogmatics, and for engaging a twenty-first century crisis in theological ethics.  Clough's book displays both painstaking scholarship and constructive power.  I recommend it heartily.' Gene Outka, Dwight Professor of Philosophy and Christian Ethics, Yale University  'In this book David Clough gives us both a fresh reading of the development of Barth's ethical thought from the second edition of the RÃ¶merbrief to the Church Dogmatics, and an original demonstration of the continuity between them.  Against those who hanker after human self-sufficiency in ethics - whether by way of postmodernist relativism or rationalist system - Clough re-presents Barth's constant assertion of a salutary, if uncomfortable dialectic: because God does command, there is something that we may hear (and reason from); but because it is God who commands, we should never cease to listen, and to listen again.  Clearly and sometimes vividly written, Ethics in Crisis will reward not only the student of Barthiana but anyone who yearns for a theological ethic that takes God seriously.' Nigel Biggar, Professor of Theology, Trinity College Dublin  '... this is an excellent book that will quickly become a definite and reliable guide to Karl Barth's ethics.  Not only that, it is a fine piece of constructive theology.  Clough's work is no mere explication of Barth.  It moves beyond Barth and does not simply offer corrections to Barth's work.'  Princeton Theological Seminary  '... recent addition to Ashgate's excellent Barth Studies series... David Clough's Ethics in Crisis offers both significant contribution to the interpretation of Barth's development, and a sharp and suggestive proposal for our contemporary

Ethics in Crisis

&ldquo;Gripping. . . . We&rsquo;ll always have Paris, but we may not feel quite the same about it after reading And the Show Went On.&rdquo;&mdash;The New York Times Book Review&ldquo;Riding paints a riveting portrait of how Paris&rsquo;s glittering, politically diverse cultural elite . . . worked and played during the dark days of the Nazis&rsquo; occupation.&rdquo;&mdash;Vanity Fair &ldquo;Meticulously researched. . . . Riding&rsquo;s book is an impressively comprehensive survey of the occupation years.&rdquo;&mdash;The Economist&#160;&ldquo;An arresting and detailed account. . . . A big story and insidiously troubling.&rdquo;&mdash;Los Angeles Times&#160;&ldquo;Evocative. . . . A carefully constructed and sympathetic account. . . . Riding is very good at pointing to the complexities and ambiguities of the situation.&rdquo;&mdash;The Wall Street Journal&#160;&ldquo;Fascinating.&rdquo;&mdash;The New York Review of Books&ldquo;Certainly one of the finest works of serious popular history since the heyday of Barbara Tuchman. . . . Riding&rsquo;s triumph lies in refusing to affirm any simplistic answers. Instead, he plunges the reader into the French cultural scene of the 1930s and &lsquo;40s and shows us how real men and real women dealt with the devil.&rdquo;&mdash;The Washington Post&#160;&ldquo;Lively. . . . Compelling and complex. . . . Most interesting are the complicated stories of artists who were neither heroes nor traitors, who made decisions about how to live and work during the occupation.&rdquo;&mdash;The Boston Globe&#160;&ldquo;The world of the arts in Nazi-occupied Paris is brought to life in this meticulous chronicle. . . . [Riding] provides vivid character sketches and narratives.&rdquo;&mdash;The New Yorker&#160;&ldquo;Broad-ranging. . . . Riding&rsquo;s detailed and well-researched account is sure to appeal to Francophiles, admirers of French culture and readers seeking to heighten their understanding of an emotionally charged and morally complex aspect of World War II. More than that, it offers insights into the ethical dilemma that many of France&rsquo;s luminaries faced during a critical time in their nation&rsquo;s history and the different ways in which they chose to respond.&rdquo;&mdash;The Associated Press&#160;&ldquo;A book of transcendent relevance. . . . Splendidly informed.&rdquo;&mdash;Fritz Stern, author of Gold and Iron&#160;&ldquo;[A] monumentally researched, vividly written and troubling account of how the cultured citizens of Paris behaved while the Nazi swastika fluttered above the Eiffel Tower.&rdquo;&mdash;Newark Star-Ledger&#160;&ldquo;Full-blooded and meticulously researched.&rdquo;&mdash;Financial Times&#160;&ldquo;In this highly readable book, Alan Riding presents a thorough, balanced account of the ways French artists and writers responded to Nazi occupation, ranging from active resistance to enthusiastic collaboration. . . . Riding marshals details with the verve and care of a great reporter.&rdquo;&mdash;Susan Suleiman, C. Douglas Dillon Professor of the Civilization of France and Professor of Comparative Literature, Harvard University&#160;&ldquo;Riveting. . . . This fine book reminds the reader of the many shades of collaboration in an occupied country.&rdquo;&mdash;The Washington Times &#160;&ldquo;A tale of betrayal and resistance, patriotism, and bold opportunism&mdash;and in the end, vengeance and forgetfulness.&rdquo;&mdash;The Jewish Exponent&#160;&ldquo;A superb account of intellectuals under pressure. . . . Alan Riding, deeply versed in French politics and culture, is the ideal guide to Parisian life under the Nazis. He has written a wonderful book.&rdquo;&mdash;Ward Just, author of An Unfinished Season and Echo House&#160;&ldquo;A remarkable cultural history of the City of Lights at its darkest hour. . . . A work of intellectual history in its purest form.&rdquo;&mdash;Jewish Journal&#160;&ldquo;This book raises many questions about degrees of guilt, unjust accusations, and changing sides. It successfully shows that, for many, the occupation was rarely black and white.&rdquo;&mdash;Sacramento Book Review&#160;&ldquo;Only someone as deeply versed in French culture as is Alan Riding, and as completely in command of his subject, could have written this magisterial account. . . . It is star-studded and makes fascinating reading.&rdquo;&mdash;David Fromkin, author of A Peace to End All Peace

There's no pretense to making teachers health experts or therapists...just solid resources based on Heyman&rsquo;s decades of experience and study.&rdquo;&mdash;Matthew J. Taylor, PT, PhD, C-IAYT.

From the reviews:
"Dror Paley has written a remarkable book that, perhaps for the first time, permits complete fulfillment of Andry's standard for alignment in the correction of complex limb deformities... just as a NASA lunar flight manual provides the terms needed to explore new worlds, so too will Paley's Principles of Deformity Correction offer the dedicated reader new perspectives on lower limb deformities." (Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery)
"Dror Paley has written a remarkable book … . Principles of Deformity Correction evolved from a course taught by Paley and his coworkers in Baltimore. The book, which deals exclusively with lower limb deformities, is divided into two parts. The first ten chapters present a step-by-step technique for deformity analysis … . The second part of the book describes various surgical techniques designed to correct the deformities once they have been fully analyzed." (Stuart A. Green, The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, Vol. 84-A (7), 2002)
