Greening China

The Benefits of Trade and Foreign Direct Investment

By: Ka Zeng,Joshua Eastin

“The authors make some very critical interventions in this debate and scholars engaged in the environmental ‘pollution haven’ and ‘race to the bottom’ debates will need to take the arguments made here seriously, re-evaluating their own preferred theories to respond to the insightful theorizing and empirically rigorous testing that Zeng and Eastin present in the book.” —Ronald Mitchell, University of Oregon China has earned a reputation for lax environmental standards that allegedly attract corporations more interested in profit than in moral responsibility and, consequently, further negate incentives to raise environmental standards. Surprisingly, Ka Zeng and Joshua Eastin find that international economic integration with nation-states that have stringent environmental regulations facilitates the diffusion of corporate environmental norms and standards to Chinese provinces. At the same time, concerns about “green” tariffs imposed by importing countries encourage Chinese export-oriented firms to ratchet up their own environmental standards. The authors present systematic quantitative and qualitative analyses and data that not only demonstrate the ways in which external market pressure influences domestic environmental policy but also lend credence to arguments for the ameliorative effect of trade and foreign direct investment on the global environment.

Long, Obstinate, and Bloody

The Battle of Guilford Courthouse

By: Lawrence E. Babits,Joshua B. Howard

On March 15, 1781, the armies of Nathanael Greene and Lord Charles Cornwallis fought one of the bloodiest and most intense engagements of the American Revolution at Guilford Courthouse in piedmont North Carolina. In Long, Obstinate, and Bloody, the first book-length examination of the Guilford Courthouse engagement, Lawrence E. Babits and Joshua B. Howard piece together what really happened on the wooded plateau in what is today Greensboro, North Carolina, and identify where individuals stood on the battlefield, when they were there, and what they could have seen, thus producing a new bottom-up story of the engagement.

The Skeletons in God's Closet

The Mercy of Hell, the Surprise of Judgment, the Hope of Holy War

By: Joshua Ryan Butler

How can a loving God send people to hell? Isn’t it arrogant to believe Jesus is the only way to God? What is up with holy war in the Old Testament? Many of us fear God has some skeletons in the closet. Hell, judgment, and holy war are hot topics for the Christian faith that have a way of igniting fierce debate far and wide. These hard questions leave many wondering whether God is really good and can truly be trusted. The Skeletons in God's Closet confronts our popular caricatures of these difficult topics with the beauty and power of the real thing. Josh Butler reveals that these subjects are consistent with, rather than contradictory to, the goodness of God. He explores Scripture to reveal the plotlines that make sense of these tough topics in light of God’s goodness. From fresh angles, Josh deals powerfully with such difficult passages as: The Lake of Fire Lazarus and the Rich Man The Slaughter of Canaanites in the Old Testament Ultimately, The Skeletons in God's Close uses our toughest questions to provoke paradigm shifts in how we understand our faith as a whole. It pulls the “skeletons out of God’s closet” to reveal they were never really skeletons at all.

Wrestling With Angels

What Genesis Teaches Us About Our Spiritual Identity, Sexuality and Personal Relationships

By: Naomi H. Rosenblatt,Joshua Horwitz

Wrestling with Angels For over twenty years, psychotherapist, lecturer, and Bible teacher Naomi H. Rosenblatt has been leading some of the nation's best and brightest minds through the Bible, from Wall Street boardrooms to weekly sessions in the U.S. Congress, in what William Safire has called "the best Bible class for the layman." Drawing upon insights into human nature gleaned from decades of private practice and a lifelong study of the Bible, she sifts through the Bible's epic stories, filled with vivid characters in dramatic circumstances, to show how the lessons of their lives empower us today as parents, spouses, businesspeople, citizens, and lovers. In Wrestling with Angels, she and her co-author Joshua Horwitz retell and interpret the multigenerational saga of the first family of the Bible, showing how their all-too-human struggles are decidedly relevant to the issues confronting us today. The Bible? Relevant today? Many readers will be surprised by how truly relevant the Book of Genesis is. It discusses, among other things, the first recorded case of sexual harassment; surrogate parenting and the problems it raises; siblings battling over the love of a parent; rape and its consequences; and vigilante justice. The issues faced by Adam and Eve, Abraham and Sarah, and their descendants are remarkably similar to those that arise in all of our lives, including: The strenuous demands of adulthood The challenges of faith The joys of sexuality The nature of leadership and heroism The responsibilities of parenting The role of values in building character The empowerment of a spiritual identity In this extraordinary book of timeless and profound wisdom, Naomi Rosenblatt invites both Christians and Jews to revisit our common spiritual heritage: "For the humanist, the religious, the agnostic, or the merely inquisitive, Wrestling with Angels is an open invitation to probe the mystery, the miracle, and the drama of adult life in an imperfect world." A book to be read again and again, Wrestling with Angels is a poignant and pragmatic guide to the bestselling self-help book of all time.

Heaven Quest: A Detour Home

By: Joshua Ledesma

Our life is broken up into three main parts: the past, the present, and the future. If you looked at a map of your life's journey, you'd see where you've been, where you are, and where you're going to be. Where we've been is deceived. Where we are is lost. And where we're going to be depends on what we learn from this point forward. Being lost doesn't exactly mean you're going the wrong way; it just means you need help getting pointed in the right direction. Heaven Quest will help you understand your place in God's world by first reviewing your past, then pointing out your current location and pointing you in the direction God wants you to be headed. Not only will you better understand where and who you are at this point in your life, it will show you how to become who God intended you to be. By looking at some of the greatest Bible heroes, you'll better understand the small things they did that helped them accomplish great tasks. Consider reading this book to be like the halftime of a big game. Only difference is, no matter how bad you were losing at the end of the first half, now the score is reset. You are starting with a clean slate. Using quoted Bible scriptures and easy-to-understand explanations, Heaven Quest is sure to open your eyes to what you've been missing in your Christian walk.

The Resistance

Becoming a Servant Leader Through the Beatitudes

By: Joshua Staton

The Resistance began as a small group study that focused on character development of leaders as Jesus taught in the Sermon on the Mount. Over time, the project narrowed the scope to address one of the primary roles of leadership: relationship building and improvement, not only in the workplace but in our homes and communities. This is done by taking an in-depth and objective based look at the qualities of character that Jesus taught in the Beatitudes and apply real life action steps to take regarding the various arenas we operate in on a daily basis. If you are a Christ follower, then you are a leader. Any area that you have a role of influence must be looked at thoroughly and an accurate assessment must be made. The goal of The Resistance isn't to build up already strong areas, but rather to confront weak areas and apply a gospel perspective to it in hopes of growth and a progressing spiritual maturity.
