The Call of the Yukon is comprised of two stories, both set in the late 1800’s in the wilderness of Canada’s far north. Rudy is the heart-warming story of a wolf cub abandoned by its mother, who is rescued from sure death when found by an Indigenous man named Steward. Initially rejected by Steward’s sled dogs, Rudy grows into a strong animal the team learns to fear, eventually becoming the alpha male. Rudy’s leadership is demonstrated during the annual Dawson City dogsled race, a high-spirited competition. This is a wilderness tale of a wolf who learns to place his trust in one man, until the call of the wild eventually beckons him to return to the forests of the Yukon, where he belongs. Quest for Gold and Fur is a fascinating tale about a young couple and their life together in the Yukon wilderness. Joe and Mary share their adventures in this heart-warming tale of survival in their adopted forest community. Read about how Rudy’s short life ended after he followed his heart and returned to the wild. Experience an encounter between a black bear and a wolverine, fighting over who is going to eat Joe and Mary’s pack animal. Follow the couple as they find riches hidden by old trappers in the most unlikely places. These two stories depict the courage and bravery of early fur-trappers in Canada’s north, which will not to be easily forgotten by its readers.

Circling the Table

The Spirit and Practice of Roundtable Worship

By: William Johnson Everett

What if Christian worship took place as a conversation at a round table spread with elements of earth’s gifts of nurture and beauty? This book describes such a practice—Roundtable Worship—and lays out a fresh and challenging theological foundation for it. Central to this foundation is the struggle to reconstruct the images of governance and justice that have always lain at the heart of a worship shaped by biblical traditions. Drawing on the practice of circle conversations at the heart of movements for reconciliation and restorative justice, Everett presents a theological vision rooted in biblical covenant-making, a social image of the Trinity, and an understanding of the church as “the covenanted public of Christ’s Spirit.” Roundtable worship provides a hospitable setting where people can begin to give deeper voice to their life, listen appreciatively to each other’s longing for reconciliation, and anticipate in imagination and action a renewed public life beyond the angry and violent polarizations of our age.

The Ironware Store

By: William Stanley

The Ironware Store is set in Dawson City shortly after the start of the twentieth century. The book is the last in a series written by this author, which depicts the adventures of an extended family of fur trappers as they struggle to survive in the Yukon Territory. Samuel, an adventurer from Seattle who moved to Dawson City to open a business selling products such as woodstoves, axes, ironware for cooking, and dog sled runners, managed to earn a profit in his first year of operation. Looking to increase his income, he opens a fur brokerage business in a small building constructed behind his ironware store. Samuel’s close relationship with the patriarchal couple of the family provides him with a glimpse of what true survival entails as he becomes acquainted with the members of this close network of friends and relatives. The Ironware Store depicts daily life in the Yukon, and the struggle to exist in a harsh but stunning environment. Discover what chilling event drastically changes the lives of the men and women who have made the wilds near Dawson their home, an ending no one was expecting.

Parables as Subversive Speech

Jesus as Pedagogue of the Oppressed

By: William R. Herzog II

William Herzog shows that the focus of the parables was not on a vision of the glory of the reign of God but on the gory details of the way oppression served the interests of the ruling class. The parables were a form of social analysis, as well as a form of theological reflection. Herzog scrutinizes their canonical form to show the distinction between its purpose for Jesus and for evangelists. To do this, he uses the tools of historical criticism, including form criticism and redaction criticism.

A Reasonable Belief

Why God and Faith Make Sense

By: William Greenway

A Reasonable Belief

Why God and Faith Make Sense

By: William Greenway

Insofar as the essence of this philosophical spirituality is continuous with the essence of Christian spirituality, I am able to specify how . . . we can be utterly confident that it is wholly reasonable and good to affirm, give thanks for, live, and testify to faith in God."from the preface While it's clear that a lot of people believe in God, whether they should is a matter of loud debate. Since the Enlightenment, and especially in the last 150 years, a consensus has been building in Western philosophy that belief in a transcendent orderand especially in a supreme beingis unreasonable and should be abandoned. The result of this trend has been to delegitimize religious belief, to claim that those who believe do so against scientific evidence and rational thought. In this confident and sensitive book, William Greenway carefully guides the reader through the developments in Western intellectual life that have led us to assume that belief is irrational. He starts by demonstrating that, along with belief in God, modern definitions of human rationality have also rejected free will and moral agency. He then questions the Cartesian assumption that it is our ability to think that makes us most human and most real. Instead, Greenway explains, it is our capacity to be grasped by the lives and needs of others that forms the heart of who we are. From that vantage point we can see that faith is not a choice we make in spite of evidence to the contrary; it is, rather, wholly rational and in keeping with that which makes us most human. Every person who either has faith or is contemplating faith can be assured that belief in God is both reasonable and good. Greenway embraces both contemporary philosophy and science, inviting readers into a more confident experience of their faith.

Leslie A. White

Evolution and Revolution in Anthropology

By: William J. Peace

Few figures in modern American anthropology have been more controversial or influential than Leslie A. White (1900?1975). Between the early 1940s and mid-1960s, White?s work was widely discussed, and he was among the most frequently cited American anthropologists in the world. After writing several respected ethnographic works about the Pueblo Indians, White broke ranks with anthropologists who favored such cultural histories and began to radically rethink American anthropology. As his political interest in socialism grew, he revitalized the concept of cultural evolution and reinvigorated comparative studies of culture. His strident political beliefs, radical interpretive vision, and often combative nature earned him enemies inside and outside the academy. His trip to the Soviet Union and participation in the Socialist Labor Party brought him to the attention of the FBI during the height of the Cold War, and near-legendary scholarly and political conflicts surrounded him at the University of Michigan. ø Placing White?s life and work in historic context, William J. Peace documents the broad sociopolitical influences that affected his career, including many aspects of White?s life that are largely unknown, such as the reasons he became antagonistic toward Boasian anthropology. In so doing, Peace sheds light on what made White such a colorful figure as well as his enduring contributions to modern anthropology.

Prices and Wages in England

By: William Beveridge

Prices and wages are the social phenomena most susceptible of objective statistical record over long periods of time. They reflect and measure the influence of changes in population, in supply of precious metals, in industrial structure and agricultural methods, in trade and transport, in consumption and in the technical arts. Forming part of publications of the International Committee on Price History, this is Volume I of data from the twelfth to the nineteenth century. It was originally published in 1939 and almost the entire stock was destroyed during an air-raid. The present volume is a facsimile of that edition. This volume looks at the Mercantile era.
