O século XX foi marcado pela facilitação de circulação de bens, capitais e pessoas entre países. A integração regional desenvolvida a partir dos blocos de integração regional como União Europeia e Mercosul acabaram por desenvolver economicamente os países que deles fazem parte, havendo ainda, na União Europeia um avanço grande no bloco com a instauração da moeda única. Toda essa facilitação de circulação a partir da relativização das fronteiras acabou também por trazer alguns efeitos nefastos, como o desenvolvimento da criminalidade transnacional e o deslocamento de bens, valores e pessoas ligados aos crimes, o que faz surgir a necessidade de desenvolvimento e aprimoramento dos meios de cooperação jurídica internacional em matéria penal com a finalidade de evitar ao máximo a impunidade e a máxima de que o crime não deve compensar.

This episodic novel chronicles the trials and tribulations of Peter Cherches, an obscure Brooklyn writer who suffers the slings and arrows of outrageous tormentors, most notably his next-door neighbor. Cherches's world is overrun with doppelgängers, doppelgängers' doppelgängers, malevolent technology, masks, doubts, and unreliable mirrors. Think of this as a kinder and gentler Book of Job, with New York attitude and borscht belt humor, as well as echoes of Kafka, Borges, and Serling. Rarely has one man's misery been so much fun.

This Orthodox Christian commentary is derived from a series of sermons given by His Eminence Metropolitan Youssef of the Coptic Orthodox Diocese of the Southern United States, where His Eminence has been serving since the early 90s. ABOUT THE BOOK: Corinth was a very important commercial center which made it easy for it to be a place for all sorts of vice and evil. Also, its closeness to Athens added the problem of intellectualism. Greece was known for its philosophers and philosophy. St. Paul established the church of Corinth during his second missionary trip. Unfortunately, the immoral environment found in the city adversely affected the church. Reports of the problems within the church reached St. Paul's ears, and so he wrote an earlier letter (1 Corinthians) to answer these reports, correcting sinful practices and refuting false doctrine. In this second letter, written only a few months after the first, St. Paul, as a caring father, wanted to make sure that his rebukes in the earlier letter were received positively, and that it actually encouraged them to repent. He also focuses his letter on defending his apostleship, rebuking ungodly behavior that still persisted in Corinth, and to encourage them to collect money for the needy in Jerusalem. This letter is one that is quite beneficial to those serving others for God, as it explains how service should be, as we learn from the example of St. Paul.

All of us, without exception, have gone through one period or another in our life wherein we felt lonely. Loneliness is a sweeping feeling of isolation, despite the person's being in the midst of a crowd. The feeling of loneliness does not require that a person be far from people, for a person might be living with others, and he nevertheless feels lonely. And a person may be surrounded by many people, yet his feeling of loneliness increases. For the feeling of loneliness springs from within. His Eminence Metropolitan Youssef, in this book, sheds light on loneliness, its definition, causes, and treatment.

This book emerges from an extensive research project into the area of transformative learning in theology in the Australian context. The project was stimulated by the recognition of the rich prior life experience of the typically older students enrolling in undergraduate theological degrees and the common claims made by various theological colleges that they provide a transformative educational experience. It set out to test these elements against the actual experience and aspirations of students, educators and stakeholders. Over 50 teaching campuses and 700 people provided input into the research by means of interviews, surveys, focus groups and documentary analysis.While located in the Australian context, the book reviews the wide global literature emerging recently in the field of transformative education as it pertains to theological education and analyses key concepts in relation to data derived from current institutional documents and individual observations. Accordingly, it educes principles governing transformative learning and identifies examples of innovative practices that facilitate such learning. The principal emphasis of the book is the crucial area of curriculum design and delivery that will take genuine cognizance of the students' prior life experience and facilitate authentic transformative learning.

Six separate compositions reflecting on different elements of society and the people wherein. 1) "The Secretary and the Pain," is about the U.S. Secretary of State's outstanding speech at the United Nations, the subsequent troop deployment of U.S. troops to Iraq and the suffering that followed. 2) "The Poor and Decrepit Old Men," looks into the minds of the poor, seemingly lost, and forgotten older men of America. 3) "Monument Avenue," speaks to the fact that there was a major thoroughfare in Richmond, Virginia, honoring the Confederate and how that avenue was the proud gathering site for many who worshiped the Confederate.4) "New Black Martyrs and New Black Heroes." In search of symbols of greatness, Black Americans create martyrs and heroes out of those who rarely deserve such a status. 5) "AWOL: Absent Without Leave." Black Americans have continually gone into battle for this country in an effort to allow others to be free, all the while enduring segregation, racism and brutality back home. "AWOL," looks at a Black soldier in Vietnam and his simplistic attitude. 6) "Eight to the Tenth Power," reflects upon abortions. This is one of my most controversial works. The questions raised and statements made are sure to generate anger, debate, obscenities, name-calling and denunciation.
