Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Alex Alterman is a "mystery worshipper"--hired by churches to experience their worship services as a member of the congregation and evaluate what works and what doesn't. Grass growing in the parking lot "Unkempt bathrooms "Bad sound systems" These may turn away people as much as the "singing and the sermon. To whom much is given, much is required. But when Alex and his dedicated band of nitpicking zealots are hired to evaluate a Florida church and its prominent pastor, they are presented with a set of mysteries: Who hired them And who hired their main competition And why are they being shadowed by a couple of atheists running a dirt-dealing blog Oil spills, dwarf spies, choir room surveillance, church league basketball cheats and parking lot security all combine in a splendid caper that stretches from Wall Street to the beachfront. As Alterman's group finds itself in the eye of the storm, the work takes on a new dimension as they untangle the reasons they believe in their work, and why they believe at all.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. This book and its companion reader (Violence: Do We Know It When We See It?) explore the many manifest ways in which violence is understood in contemporary society, treating questions that have not conventionally been associated with violence such as why are acts of social injustice, environmental degradation, and gross abuse of power not considered acts of violence per se. In addressing the leading questions about violence, the book introduces readers to the complexities related with its definition and measurement, its varying expressions in society, its trends of occurrence, its origins and patterns over time and across cultures, and its solutions and control. Along the way the book presents the state-of-the-art thinking and associated research base as well as a critical analysis of the interplay between popular views and the "disconnect" between the public's understanding of violence including official responses to violence and scientific evidence. The Teacher's Manual (in 3 parts--manual, multi-choice questions and true-false questions) is available electronically on a CD or via email.
