This book describes a mentoring relationship that began in 1999 between a forty-year-old, white, upper-class physician and an eight-year-old African American boy from the inner city. It is told in parallel; we each wrote our recollections without reading each other's. This was done so that neither of our writings would influence those of the other. In some cases, the memories actually differ or even conflict. This is exactly the point that the book hopes to convey. Due to our background an...

Once recalled only for The Whig Interpretation of History (1931) and Christianity and History (1949), Sir Herbert Butterfield's contribution to western culture has undergone an astonishing revaluation over the past twenty years. What has been left out of this reappraisal is the man himself. Yet the force of Butterfield's writings is weakened without some knowledge of the man behind them: his temperament, contexts and personal torments. Previous authors have been unable to supply a rounded ...

Do ecology, Judaism, and philosophy work together, or are they at odds with each other in confronting the current crisis? Yaffe's extensive introduction analyzes and appraises the antholo...
