An introduction to the principles of microeconomics and macroeconomics that establishes strong links between theoretical principles and real-world experience, while incorporating clear and consistent international focus throughout the text.
Introducing the principles of economics as the study of choice, renowned economists and teachers Tim Tregarthen and Libby Rittenberg provide students with an accessible, straightforward overview of the field. Combining the clarity and writing of Tregarthen's The Margin with dramatic teaching insight, Tregarthen and Rittenberg guide students to an understanding of basic economic principles to help them understand how real individuals work with economics. In the completely revised Second Edition, the authors illustrate the practicality and relevance of economics with a variety of new student-friendly features and applications. The combination of student-oriented activities, examples and real-world applications with a host of new supplemental tools make Tregarthen/Rittenberg's Economics a teaching tool without parallel.
As human pressures on land intensify, land-use decisions in response to the new demands become increasingly critical. Thus, the fate of the little-known Running Creek Watershed assumes a broad importance. Running Creek Watershed is a 150-kilometer strip of land lying just east of the rapidly expanding urban corridor of Colorado's front range. The land in the watershed is devoted primarily to the production of food, and includes pasture, dry crop, and irrigated crop operations. Two sources of demand suggest dramatic future changes in this land-use pattern: advancing urbanization, and energy demands for the coal available in a large deposit 25 kilometers east of Denver. In this volume Timothy Tregarthen presents a synthesis of discussions and papers presented at a 1976 conference that focused on the trade-offs implicit in the land-use alternatives of food production, urbanization, and energy development. Sponsored by the Wright-Ingraham Institute, the conference brought together a wide range of scientists, humanists, public officials, representatives of industrial and agricultural organizations, and interested citizens concerned not only about this important regional problem, but about the broader implications of competing land-use needs. Conference participants examined factors important to changes in land use, giving particular attention to the natural, economic, political, and value systems at work on the watershed in terms of how these systems affect and will be affected by changing land-use patterns.

The human transformation available at the 'limen' (literally: the edge or threshold), noticed across different cultures by anthropologists, is at the heart of the Gospel. Indeed the liminal place is the place of transformation and change par excellence. We live in age of enormous and rapid change to which we do not yet see an end. There is therefore a 'kairos' moment here for the church to understand the importance of liminality through this unique book. Reading this book will offer new 'lenses' to understand humanity, God's world, the shape of Christian discipleship, the church and its mission differently. The authors believe engaging with liminality can help both readers' faith and the church to be re-imagined - and have included case studies, exercises and questions in each chapter to help this process.
Who do you declare yourself to be when your identity is fractured and you’re left in your wilderness as you navigate between two altars? The issues of life come upon us in various ways and varying stages, and knowing who we are at those times is vital. The Broken Cross seeks to speak to those issues from a personal and spiritual perspective. Written by a soul that has seen both victories and failures in life, this study offers insight on personal identity and the ways in which God has prepared us mentally and spiritually to survive during our own self-imposed failures and our sense of feeling lost between callings. When we fail to know our identity beyond our name, we face a constant struggle with our life’s assignment. Only when we embrace our God-given identity can we return to destiny’s path. Encompassing both personal narrative and biblical study, this guide explores self-awareness in relation to mental and spiritual conditions and consider the question of our God-given identity.
