Many scholars posit distinct European and American approaches to public policy, with the European approach more likely to have a generous social safety net, tougher regulations on businesses, and stronger protections for animals. Via a comparative analysis of several policies, In Search of Canine Justice asks whether this conventional wisdom holds in the area of canine welfare. While there is much vindication of these two distinct approaches, the reality is more complex when the behavior of particular states is taken into account. In short, European laws are more likely to advance canine welfare, but there are not only exceptions but places where practices deviate from the laws. At the state level in the United States, the trend is toward more protective laws and practices in this area as well. In Search of Canine Justice is a valuable resource for students of comparative politics, animal studies, animal law, and public policy, as well as anyone with a general interest in canine welfare or a specific interest in the regulation of commercial breeding, euthanasia, commercial greyhound racing, scientific experimentation, and/or unnecessary surgeries for cosmetic reasons.

The skull, the cross, the drink-the symbols of the death of Christ might have their precursors in one of the first heroine stories of the Bible. Jesus Christ's crucifixion and resurrection is the most widely known story of the New Testament-indeed, the foundational narrative in Christianity itself, one that has been retold and examined endlessly. Even though the accounts of events given by the four Evangelists have been at the center of academic research for centuries, scholars have rarely considered intertextual evidence connecting them to the Old Testament. In this revelatory book, The Cross and the Tent Peg: How Jesus Retraced Jael's Story, Julie Walsh explores new links between Jael from the Book of Judges and the crucifixion and resurrection and persuasively argues why this nexus is a fulfillment narrative pattern. Many scholars of Genesis have considered the "protoevangelium" of God's declaration to the serpent in the Garden of Eden as the first messianic prophecy, which was fulfilled in the death of Christ. Walsh, however, invigorates this discourse by taking a fresh look at the story of Jael as evidence of a link between these two events. Although Jael was a member of the Kenite tribe, which was at peace with King Jabin, Jael killed Sisera, the general leading Jabin's army against Israel, driving a tent peg through his skull. Walsh delves deep into this oft-overlooked chronicle to detail twelve striking similarities connecting this gruesome murder to the crucifixion narrative, thus casting both in a new light. The Cross and the Tent Peg is an eye-opening work of assiduous scholarship, drawing on a wealth of existing literature and distinguished by an astute, original analysis of Biblical verses. By demonstrating that Jesus saw a woman's action as having significance for his own death, Walsh raises crucial questions about the traditional roles of women in the family, in society, and within the church. The Cross and the Tent Peg is Walsh's second book, and the first theological text of a promising new author in the field of egalitarian research. Julie Walsh (Th. M., Regent University, M. A.

Why Bodybuilding? You may be reading this and thinking that exact question. First of all lets define bodybuilding for our purposes. Bodybuilding - Any person changing or wishing to change the shape of their body through diet and exercise particularly but not solely through the use of progressive resistance training with weights.
