Bird habitats play a critical role in supporting avian populations, and understanding their importance is essential for anyone interested in creating a bird-friendly garden. Healthy habitats provide birds with the resources they need to thrive, including food, water, shelter, and nesting sites. By designing a space that caters to these needs, you not only enhance your enjoyment of birdwatching but also contribute to the conservation of local species. A well-planned garden can serve as a sanctuary for both native and migratory birds, offering them a safe haven amidst urban development and changing landscapes.

Sanctuary Regions and the Struggle for Belonging Undocumented Immigrants in the United States


Free Download Zeina Sleiman-Long, "Sanctuary Regions and the Struggle for Belonging: Undocumented Immigrants in the United States"
English | 2020 | pages: 143 | ISBN: 3030448878, 3030448843 | PDF | 1,5 mb
This book argues that local governments and institutions across the state of California that offer various forms of sanctuaries to undocumented immigrants create "sanctuary regions." These regions are safe zones for undocumented immigrants and facilitate their ability to make claims for human rights. The book also argues that these regions create an important form of resistance to federal state authority in terms of immigration and the management of borders – something that is typically attributed to state power in the study of International Relations (IR). This book includes overviews of how undocumented immigrants make claims for human rights as well as the ways in which sanctuary regions facilitate "acts of citizenship" and resist anti-immigrant policies.

The Sanctuary in the Psalms Exploring the Paradox of God’s Transcendence and Immanence


Free Download Steven Dunn, "The Sanctuary in the Psalms: Exploring the Paradox of God’s Transcendence and Immanence"
English | ISBN: 1498507999 | 2016 | 130 pages | EPUB | 1018 KB
This book is an exploration and interpretation of the diverse symbols and images that represent the sacred presence of God in the Book of Psalms. These images of sacred spaces and objects represent diverse conceptions of "the sanctuary" or sacred spaces, objects and texts that mediate God’s presence and bridge the gap between the ineffable nature of God as transcendent and beyond human comprehension and as immanently and intimately present in human experience. I explore the multivalent ways in which images of sacred spaces and objects facilitate prayer and contemplation. This book represents a valuable contribution to the study of Psalms and biblical theology, spirituality and prayer.
