Read the Bible like a mystic : contemplative wisdom and the word / by McColman, Carl,author.(CARDINAL)705769;

Includes bibliographical references."There is a better way to read the Bible: with the eyes of a mystic and the heart of contemplation. Can the Bible be saved? More and more Christians are troubled by how difficult passages in the Bible can be used to promote sexism, homophobia, hostility to other faiths, and other problems--but a sterile, "academic" reading of the sacred text seems spiritually unfulfilling. Carl McColman, author of The New Big Book of Christian Mysticism, reminds us that there is an ancient "third way" of approaching the Bible: reading scripture like a mystic. This contemplative approach to the Bible understands that much of the sacred text was never meant to be taken literally, yet this approach maintains that spiritual wisdom, guidance in prayer, and encouragement for meditation are encoded throughout the sacred text. Read the Bible Like a Mystic will help Christians find an expanded relationship with their sacred textbook, and it will also invite all people--Christian and non-Christian alike--to bring together the wisdom of the written word with the wisdom of the contemplative life and the call to foster peace, justice, and equality in our world. Whether you come to the Bible from a preexisting interest in Christianity or mysticism, this book shows how contemplative wisdom unlocks the liberating power of the Word for our time"--

Invisible women : data bias in a world designed for men / by Criado-Perez, Caroline,author.(CARDINAL)789446;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 322-391) and index."Data is fundamental to the modern world. From economic development to health care to education and public policy, we rely on numbers to allocate resources and make crucial decisions. But because so much data fails to take into account gender, because it treats men as the default and women as atypical, bias and discrimination are baked into our systems. And women pay tremendous costs for this bias, in time, money, and often with their lives. Celebrated feminist advocate Caroline Criado Perez investigates this shocking root cause of gender inequality in Invisible Women. Examining the home, the workplace, the public square, the doctor's office, and more, Criado Perez unearths a dangerous pattern in data and its consequences on women's lives. Product designers use a 'one-size-fits-all' approach to everything from pianos to cell phones to voice recognition software, when in fact this approach is designed to fit men. Cities prioritize men's needs when designing public transportation, roads, and even snow removal, neglecting to consider women's safety or unique responsibilities and travel patterns. And in medical research, women have largely been excluded from studies and textbooks, leaving them chronically misunderstood, mistreated., and misdiagnosed. Built on hundreds of studies in the US, the UK, and around the world, and written with energy, wit, and sparkling intelligence, this is a groundbreaking, highly readable exposé that will change the way you look at the world"--Dust jacket.

Extra bold : a feminist inclusive anti-racist nonbinary field guide for graphic designers / by Lupton, Ellen,author.(CARDINAL)207052; Halstead, Josh A.,author.; Kafei, Farah,author.; Sales, Kaleena,author.; Tobias, Jennifer,author.; Vergara, Valentina,author.; Xia, Leslie,author.; Container of (work):Lupton, Ellen.Giving and taking credit.;

Includes bibliographical references and index."Extra Bold is the design manual for everyone. Part textbook and part comic book, zine, manifesto, and survival guide, Extra Bold is filled with stories and ideas that don't show up in other career books or design overviews. Written collaboratively by a diverse team of authors, the book begins with essays connecting design to feminism, anti-racism, disability, and nonbinary thinking. Capsule histories open the design canon to overlooked people and practices. Interviews, typefaces, and projects created by dozens of contributors deliver multiple points of view, informed by a variety of abilities, gender identities, and racial and ethnic backgrounds. Useful and informative, Extra Bold explores power structures and how to navigate them. Interviews showcase people at different stages of their careers, and biographical sketches uncover the lives and work of creative producers marginalized by sexism, racism, and ableism. Illustrations by Jennifer Tobias bring warmth and narrative depth to each section."--back cover.
