    This analysis for the International Labour Office (ILO), Geneva, Switzerland, studies how globalization affects the mobility of workers and whether existing labor institutions can safety-net their rights. After examining globalization in a socioeconomic context and modern migration patterns, the author concludes that present trends augur even greater migration pressures due to the disruptive impact of differential capitalist development and media's lubrication of the flow. Tables and figures show demographic and economic aspects of emigration and immigration. Includes a foreword by an ILO director. Paper edition (unseen), $17.95.

    In "The Preacher and His Models," James Stalker provides a comprehensive exploration of the art and science of preaching, offering a rich tapestry of insights drawn from a variety of historical and contemporary figures in the field. Stalker adopts a reflective and analytical literary style, meticulously weaving together examples from eminent preachers across eras to illustrate their techniques and theological underpinnings. This work situates itself in the broader context of homiletics, drawing particularly from the Protestant tradition while also recognizing the influence of other faiths on the preaching landscape, thereby enriching the discourse on effective communication of religious truths. James Stalker, a Scottish minister and theologian, was deeply influenced by the challenges of his own ministry, which included a keen awareness of the necessity for impactful and relatable preaching. His extensive background in theology and pastoral work uniquely positions him to dissect preaching from both a practical and theoretical standpoint. Stalker's academic pursuits were fueled not only by his personal faith but also by a longing to equip aspiring ministers with the tools necessary to engage their congregations meaningfully. For readers, particularly those engaged in ministry, theological studies, or public speaking, "The Preacher and His Models" serves as an invaluable resource. Stalker's insights are rife with practical wisdom, offering timeless principles that encourage not only effective preaching but also a deepened understanding of the sacred task of conveying spiritual truths to diverse audiences.

     · 2022

    Recognizing and Overcoming Temptation We are out of Paradise now, but the tree of temptation still stands in our life where it stood then – in the middle, where all the roads meet, where we must pass it every day. Every person’s success or sorrow de­pends on the attitude to it that he adopts. There are six attitudes we can have in regard to temptation: 1. We may be tempted. 2. We may have fallen before temptation. 3. We may be tempting others. 4. We may be successfully resisting temptation. 5. We may have outlived, or overcome, certain temptations. 6. We may be assisting others to overcome their temptations. In this short book, James Stalker explores each of these six attitudes we can have towards temptation, and how to best overcome the temptations we face.
