The World Transparent

A Catechesis at the Movies

By: Nina Butorac

The World Transparent examines the spiritual themes that have populated our Western and Christian tradition for many centuries. From a sacramental standpoint, and using forty well-loved films as illustrations, The World Transparent endeavors to guide the reader through a process of formation and towards a mature understanding of the Christian faith; not only as an intellectual exploration, but as a spiritually lived experience. Its focus is on the virtues, as they help to form us to live purposeful lives and attain happiness; on conscience, as it directs our judgment and moral actions; on grace, as it lifts up our nature and works to perfect it; on the sacraments, as they confer the graces that enable us to meet life's struggles; and on the theological virtues of faith, hope, and love, as they immerse us in the order of grace and direct us to the source of our redemption in Christ. Each of these sacred themes is augmented by beauty and by the sacramental qualities found in great art, in powerful stories, and shot through, eminently, by classic, masterful film.

Beyond the Sea

Annie's Journey into the Extraordinary

By: Nina Purtee

Reduced to a state of grief and loss of direction, Annie Harrison is offered an opportunity to board her grandfather's lavish sailing vessel, the Porto Banus, in Marbella, Spain, and begin an international adventure to restore her confidence and sense of balance. Along the way, Annie encounters two dashing suitors, a brave and romantic Spanish matador and a mesmerizing and generous Moroccan businessman. Her gifted ability to mesh architectural style with layers of historical elements is enhanced by the places she visits, and her inner horizons are expanded by the new friends she makes. However, intrigue surfaces with the reappearance of her father, serving in the British secret service, after two years missing, and Annie questions who she can trust to save her father. And to find true happiness, Annie must learn to conquer her fear. The story is so fabulous, found myself crying and laughing during various points in the story! It's so awesome to be able to see pictures of the actual people who were written about in the story! Nina, keep them coming! -Craig Williams I highly recommend this book. I was privileged to be one of the first to read this book when it was in it infancy. Only getting a few chapters at a time as they were being written all I could say was more, more, more... I was so caught up in the travel, the culture, romance and mystery. I felt like I was on the journey experiencing each country, food, and fashion with Annie. Now that it has all come together it is an amazing book filled with inspiration. Can't wait to have the finished book in hand and a sequel! -Bonnie Lins "Beyond the Sea" by Nina Purtee is a must read! It is a novel full of travel, adventure, friendship, romance and choices! I was amazed by the beautiful places Annie travels to, the friends she makes along her journey and the many different cultures she experiences. Nina's writing is influenced by her own love of travel and adventure. Her writing style is so descriptive I felt like I was right there with Annie enjoying a fabulous dinner, sightseeing or giggling with her while shopping in Paris! I found myself swept away in the excitement of Annie's journey and I can't wait for the sequel so I can find out what happens next! -Lisa Dunn Nina Purtee's novel "Beyond the Sea" is written in such a manner and style of descriptiveness and detail that it makes the reader feel as if they're actually right there experiencing it and not just reading it. You'll find many twists and turns as you turn the pages, all of which will keep you captivated that you will not want interruptions that would delay you from finding out what is next going to happen. I'm truly hoping Nina will write a sequel to this novel and look forward to reading all of her books in the future. -Michele Ryder Nina Purtee's passion for travel is what makes her novel so moving. It is a captivating blend of romance, travel, personal growth, intrigue and more. I'm excited to see its official publication in February 2023. -Ana Hernandez "Beyond the Sea" is such a wonderful adventure, so beautifully written by Nina Purtee. As I read along, I feel like I am traveling with Annie to exotic destinations and joining her in her love of life and adventure. The mix of new destinations, friends, beautiful scenery and history, love of sailing, and the excitement, with such fun characters make us feel we are part of her journey. Looking forward for the adventure to continue and for more books to enjoy. -Mickie Schuerger The book is exciting, heart wrenching, action packed, and adventurous. It makes you have empathy and fall in love with the characters from the start. It is vividly descriptive creating imagery awakening all your senses while reading. I would love to follow Annie's path of travels even though I felt like I was there. -Charlotte Kennedy

Occupied Lives

Maintaining Integrity in a Palestinian Refugee Camp in the West Bank

By: Nina Gren

Intense media coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict does not necessarily enhance one's knowledge or understanding of the Palestinians; on the contrary they are more often than not reduced to either victims or perpetrators. Similarly, while many academic studies devote considerable effort to analyzing the political situation in the occupied territories, there have been few sophisticated case studies of Palestinian refugees living under Israeli rule. An ethnographic study of Palestinian refugees in Dheisheh refugee camp, just south of Bethlehem, Occupied Lives looks closely at the attempts of the camp inhabitants to survive and bounce back from the profound effects of political violence and Israeli military occupation on their daily lives. Based on the author's extensive fieldwork conducted inside the camp, including a year during 2003-2004 when she lived in Dheisheh, this study examines the daily efforts of camp inhabitants to secure survival and meaning during the period of the al-Aqsa Intifada. It argues that the political developments and experiences of extensive violence at the time, which left most refugees outside of direct activism, caused many camp inhabitants to disengage from traditional forms of politics. Instead, they became involved in alternative practices aimed at maintaining their sense of social worth and integrity, by focusing on processes to establish a 'normal' order, social continuity, and morality. Nina Gren explores these processes and the ambiguities and dilemmas that necessarily arose from them and the ways in which the political and the existential are often intertwined in Dheisheh. Combining theoretical readings with field-based case study, this book will be invaluable to scholars and students of social anthropology, sociology, international relations, refugee studies, religious studies, and Middle East studies, as well as to anyone with an interest in the Israeli-Palestinian issue.

Cemberlitas Hamami in Istanbul

Biographical Memoir of a Turkish Bath

By: Nina Macaraig

Bathhouses (hamams) play a prominent role in Turkish culture, because of their architectural value and social function as places of hygiene, relaxation and interaction. Continuously shaped by social and historical change, the life story of Mimar Sinan's Cemberlitas HamamA in Istanbul provides an important example: established in 1583/4, it was modernized during the Turkish Republic (since 1923) and is now a tourist attraction. As a social space shared by tourists and Turks, it is a critical site through which to investigate how global tourism affects local traditions and how places provide a nucleus of cultural belonging in a globalized world. This original study, taking a biographical approach to tell the story of a Turkish bathhouse, contributes to the fields of Islamic, Ottoman and modern Turkish cultural, architectural, social and economic history.

Optimal Macroprudential Policy and Asset Price Bubbles

By: Nina Biljanovska,Lucyna Gornicka,Alexandros Vardoulakis

An asset bubble relaxes collateral constraints and increases borrowing by credit-constrained agents. At the same time, as the bubble deflates when constraints start binding, it amplifies downturns. We show analytically and quantitatively that the macroprudential policy should optimally respond to building asset price bubbles non-monotonically depending on the underlying level of indebtedness. If the level of debt is moderate, policy should accommodate the bubble to reduce the incidence of a binding collateral constraint. If debt is elevated, policy should lean against the bubble more aggressively to mitigate the pecuniary externalities from a deflating bubble when constraints bind.

The Gallery of Lost Species

A Novel

By: Nina Berkhout

Edith grows up in her big sister Vivienne's shadow. While the beautiful Viv is forced by the girls' overbearing mother to compete in child beauty pageants, plain-looking Edith follows in her father's footsteps: collecting oddities, studying coins, and reading from old books. When Viv rebels against her mother's expectations, Edith finds herself torn between a desire to help her sister and pursuing her own love for a boy who might love her sister more than he loves her. When Edith accepts a job at the National Gallery of Canada, she meets an elderly cryptozoologist named Theo who is searching for a bird many believe to be extinct. Navigating her way through Vivienne's dark landscape while trying to win Liam's heart, Edith develops an unlikely friendship with Theo when she realizes they might have more in common than she imagined; they are both trying to retrieve something that may be impossible to bring back to life. Nina Berkhout's The Gallery of Lost Species is about finding solace in unexpected places - in works of art, in people, and in animals that the world has forgotten.

Hurdles in the Halls of Science

The Israeli Case

By: Nina Toren

Hurdles in the Halls of Science examines three main factors that capture the nature of women scholars' experience and shape the particular pattern of their careers in academe: gender stereotypes, numbers, and discrimination. Based on extensive research on women in Israeli universities, Toren extrapolates from the findings and compares situations and attitudes faced in Israel with those confronted by women around the world. Toren finds that, at the dawn of the twenty-first century, the academic profession is still sex-segregated and male-dominated. Women are a minority of the total faculty in universities, they advance less rapidly than their male colleagues, attain lower ranks, and are concentrated in the "softer" fields of science. Toren observes that this pattern is trans-national and cross-cultural and is evident in many Western nations. Although Israel has frequently been portrayed as a relatively gender-equal society, the pattern Toren finds prevails in that country as well.

Navigating the Cultures of Health Care and Health Insurance

Highly skilled migrants in the U.S.

By: Nina Zeldes

What are the barriers preventing migrants from accessing and successfully utilizing health care in their new home country? Do these barriers vary across different migrant origin countries? And are they still a problem for highly skilled migrants, who often have well-paid jobs and health insurance provided by their employers? Based on field research conducted in the Washington D.C. area, Navigating the Cultures of Health Care and Health Insurance takes a mixed methods, qualitative and quantitative approach to the study of foreign patients’ utilization and assessment of health care in the US. Through interviews with both health care providers and patients, attitudes towards US health insurance and medical treatment are compared for migrants from three countries with very different cultural backgrounds and health insurance systems: Germany, India and Japan. Combined with an in-depth literature review, historical and contemporary surveys of health care across countries and analysis of health-related terms in the media, the results of this research indicate that foreign patients’ barriers to good health care persist despite access to health care services and insurance coverage, and reveal recurring transnational care seeking patterns, such as bringing medicines from abroad, delaying treatment for medical visits, insurance juggling and more. By describing their difficulties in integrating into the US health care system, the migrants in this study show the challenges and the potential for improvements in providing the care that migrants need in their new home.

Persecuted

The Global Assault on Christians

By: Paul Marshall,Lela Gilbert,Nina Shea

Christians are the world’s most widely persecuted religious group, according to studies by the Pew Research Center, Newsweek, and the Economist, among others. A woman is caught with a Bible and publicly shot to death. An elderly priest is abducted and never seen again. Three buses full of students and teachers are struck by roadside bombs. These are not casualties of a war. These are Christian believers being persecuted for their faith in the twenty-first century. Many Americans do not understand that Christians today are victims in many parts of the world. Even many Western Christians, who worship and pray without fear of violent repercussions, are unaware that so many followers of Christ live under governments and among people who are often openly hostile to their faith. They think martyrdom became a rarity long ago. Persecuted soundly refutes these assumptions. This book offers a glimpse at the modern-day life of Christians worldwide, recounting the ongoing attacks that rarely make international headlines. As Western Christians pray for the future of Christ’s church, it is vital that they understand a large part of the world’s Christian believers live in danger. Persecuted gives documented accounts of the persecution of Christians in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and former Soviet nations. It contains vivid stories of men and women who suffer abuse because of their faith in Jesus Christ, and tells of their perseverance and courage.. Persecuted is far more than a thorough and moving study of this global pattern of violence—it is a cry for freedom and a call to action.
