Can you really learn how to stay in love? 
Give up these destructive myths: 
• There is a natural gulf between men and women • Unconditional love is the ideal model for relationships • Relationships are a contest • Independence and freedom is the best path to happiness • Men don't want lasting love as much as women do • Real love depends on finding the right person 
Half of all marriages end in divorce. Staying in love is easier said than done. Too often we find ourselves exhausted by arguments, frustration and disappointment. What it takes is changing the way you think about love, and changing what you do about it! 
Find out how loving relationships can last for you— 
• Frustration is inevitable—and survivable • You can create and enjoy the benefits of emotional generosity • There is power in your relationship that you never knew was there • You can learn how to express emotion to support, not damage, your relationship • Learning from conflict is the smart alternative to arguing 
Take charge of your relationship instead of just letting it happen

Are the post-9/11 measures initiated by the government and law enforcement agencies the products of a totalitarian impulse, or panic?-or are they simply a prudent response to a seriously perilous world? Are our liberties likely to be narrowed down forever?-or will we restore them when the crisis is over? (How will we know when it's over?)   One way to begin thinking carefully about that is to consider how Americans have responded in the past. Our struggle to reconcile the conflicting claims of liberty and security is not an easy one-but it turns out to have a history. It is, in fact, one of the threads the historical fabric of our nation is woven from.   Here a lawyer and professor does what a lawyer does: he examines the precedents, from the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1799 through the Civil War, the forced relocation of Japanese Americans in World War II, the Red Scares of the 20th Century to our present "war on terror."   This work shows the balance of liberty and security from the Alien and Sedition Acts in the Adams administration through the creation of military commissions in the Mexican War, Lincoln's suspension of habeas corpus in the Civil War, the internment of Japanese Americans in World War II, the Red Scares of the twentieth century, to the "War on Terror."   About the author: Michael Geary is the Coordinator of the Criminal Justice Program at Albertus Magnus College, in New Haven, Connecticut. He joined the College's faculty in 2003 after retiring as a sergeant from the New York City Police Department. Professor Geary received his B.S. in Criminal Justice in 1983, his M.S. 1995, and his J.D. from Pace University School of Law in 1996.

Startling poems of incisive intelligence and deep compassion. Marie Ponsot finds The Touch "rich, lyrical, sharp, a big world well perceived, Cynthia Kraman's poems are alive with real ideas. . . . You have to read this. Pure pleasure." Bob Holman says, "The Touch, the long-awaited new book of poetry from medievalist and former punk-rocker Cynthia Kraman, tosses New Formalism on its ear, and is rock lyrics . . . resuscitates Wordsworth . . . a superb, extraordinary, shocking, unflinching, charming, hilarious, perfectly gem-cut book." The book is in two parts: My Heart Was Like A Sword has as its formal basis medieval number theory; Speak in the Dark's form refers to the days of Biblical creation and the weekly life of each of us. The poet writes, "I will leave it to the reader to find her and his own macro and micro readings of the poems' many days and nights, of nature created and creating, and the ongoing annihilations and regenerations of love and war." These are heights, when they are not depths. A rich vein in our new poetry.-Richard Howard This is a book to read and re-read, the real thing. -Thomas Beller

This second work in the ethnographic preservation of the traditions of Tibet follows the publication in 2008 of Life and Marriage in Skya rgya, a Tibetan Village. The book has three distinct sections: a brief historical introduction to Ne'u na Village, a detailed, sequenced description of a generalized Ne'u na wedding accompanied by related songs and speeches, and three interlinked case studies breathing life into and bringing specificity to the description. As background information, the author discusses the ethnic composition of the village, which in addition to Amdo Tibetans comprises both Han Chinese and Hui Muslim families.  Through Tshe dbang rdo rje's minute observation, description of pre-marriage deals and the actual wedding ceremony, readers can almost see it happening before their very eyes. Also, the detailed description of the actual wedding party as well as the careful rendering of each song, opens a door to the marriage ceremony. Song texts are given in free English translation, in oral Tibetan, literary Tibetan, IPA and as word by word renditions in English.  The third section contains the case studies. While the matchmaker in chapter three is a busy, anonymous figure shuttling messages and gifts between the prospective groom and bride's families, the results of Bka' dbang sgrol ma's visit in chapter six to her younger sister sets off a chain of events that forever influence fundamental aspects of the family's life.  The result is a multidisciplinary documentation of the wedding practices in the Amdo Tibetan village of Ne'u na, located in the present-day Qinghai (Mtsho sngon) Province, on the historical frontier between China and Tibet.

What have generations of New Testament scholars been hiding from us over all the ages? Harry and Paul Eberts challenge readers to rethink the New Testament.Most scholars have presumed there was a reasonably unified movement among the Christian churches led by Peter, Paul, James, and Philip immediately following Jesus' death and resurrection. The Eberts suggest that at least four parties vied with each other to attract converts to the belief that Jesus is the Christ: Peter/James/Stephen, Philip, and Apollos/ and Paul and Barnabas. Up to now, most scholars have presumed the Gospels to be at least somewhat "additive" in developing the character of Jesus. The Eberts suggest that each Gospel represents the viewpoint of one of the four parties, thus presenting differing views of the meaning of Jesus' life, his death, and his resurrection. There has been the regular presumption that St. Paul's letters were unified statements of his views of beliefs, behaviors, and practices in the early churches. The Eberts instead suggest that the letters show a shifting over time in Paul's theology and ethics as the apostles struggled with the other three Christian parties and with Gentiles to convert nonbelievers to Christianity. Harry and Paul Eberts are brothers devoted to researching the New Testament. Both are Yale Divinity School graduates.
