Anthropology is particularly well suited to explore the contemporary predicament in the coming of age of young men. Its grounded and comparative empiricism provides the opportunity to move beyond statistics, moral panics, or gender stereotypes in order to explore specific aspects of life course transitions, as well as the similar or divergent barriers or opportunities that young men in different parts of the world face. Yet, effective contextualization and comparison cannot be achieved by looking at male youths in isolation. This volume undertakes to contextualize male youths' circumstances and to learn about their lives, perspectives, and actions, and in turn illuminates the larger structures and processes that mediate the experiences entailed in becoming young men. The situation of male youths provides an important vantage point from which to consider broader social transformations and continuities. By paying careful attention to these contexts, we achieve a better understanding of the current influences encountered and acted upon by young people.

Every new season in your life announces itself through difficulty, confusion, or a sense of being uprooted. To navigate this change, you must find your inner resource, an anchor that can be used to maintain connection to “self” while being fully present and available to what’s happening now. In Finding Balance in Uncertain Times, author Nancy Sanks, offers a resource—through the practice of yoga—for those struggling with uncertainty and change. This guide reaches students who want to take their practice to the next level. It provides tools to create space around whatever it is you are facing and breathe new life and possibility into it. Using breath (pranayam), movement and poses (asanas), and mindfulness (meditation), she leads you to a path of physical, mental, and spiritual balance. Exploring ways to move forward in the midst of turmoil and to help you find inner peace, Sanks makes the teachings of yoga available to anyone with a desire to embody lovingkindness and a healthy lifestyle.

They'll learn how to be sensitive individually and corporately to the effort of the Spirit, exploring the trustworthy principles by which the Lord longs to guide each congregation toward its own distinctive mission.
