"A lighthearted yet high-minded exploration of failure's ability to serve as a gateway to grace. Readers will find this a balm."—Publishers Weekly Many of us spend our days feeling like we're the only one with problems, while everyone else has their act together. But the sooner we realize that everyone struggles like we do, the sooner we can show grace to ourselves and others. In Low Anthropology, popular author and theologian David Zahl explores how our ideas about human nature influence our expectations in friendship, work, marriage, and politics. We all go through life with an "anthropology"—an idea about what humans are like, our potentials and our limitations. A high anthropology—thinking optimistically about human nature—can breed perfectionism, anxiety, burnout, loneliness, and resentment. Meanwhile, Zahl invites readers into a biblically rooted and surprisingly life-giving low anthropology, which fosters hope, deep connection with others, lasting love, vulnerability, compassion, and happiness. Zahl offers a liberating view of human nature, sin, and grace, showing why the good news of Christianity is both urgent and appealing. By embracing a more accurate view of human beings, readers will discover a true and lasting hope.

Founded by Siberian Cossacks in 1824, Astana was a fortified town isolated in the central arid steppe of Kazakhstan, on the Ishim River. Winters there are very harsh, temperatures can fall as low as -35°C, with summers being very hot (up to 40°C) and Astana has been turned from an unfinished administrative empty city into a XXIst Century version of Babylon. Originally inhabited by impoverished Russian farmers, it has been entirely re-built after a presidential decree with the purpose of being the administrative ruling center. The capital city was officially transferred to this newly built city from Almaty in 1997, in order to be in greater proximity to people of Russian decent, mainly settled in the North. Thousands of government employees had to move north as the administrations were transferred there so they could keep their work. With very expensive and luxurious buildings, Astana looks like a utopian city based upon the central power’s delusions of grandeur. There are plenty of forms and colors in the architecture, making Astana look like a patchwork suited for a multi-ethnic society. The post-modernist giantess architecture led to some failures: a building was called “Titanic” after huge cracks appeared in its foundations. The extension of the capitalist model has raised the construction of shopping malls, restaurants and cafés in a western style, but so far big chains like Mc Donald’s and Starbucks are still being prohibited. Religious buildings, XL-sized of course, have grown in less than a decade amidst the administrative complexes. The largest synagogue in Central Asia has opened in 2004, and the biggest Mosque in central Asia funded by Qatar, with its golden domes and sixty up meter-high minarets can host up to 5,000 worshipers (the president himself is a Muslim worshiper). The pyramid-shaped Palace of peace glass construction even contains a golf course! There also lots of cultural centers, sports areas and museums, all evoking the magnificence and greatness of the nation. Eventually it was obtained by the petrodollars and it hides a high contrast of richness, as the majority of people in the country remain poor. © Eric Lafforgue www.ericlafforgue.com

The Jat - one of the hidden tribes in Gujarat (India). Dhaneta Jat girl. The Jats who live in Kutch are particularly conscious of their identity as a group and their sense of unity comes from a perception of shared historical traditions and a belief in common ancestry. Originally the Jats were herders who lived in an area called Half in Iran. Five hundred years ago these shepherds migrated from Half and came to Sindh and Kutch to search for new grazing lands. They crossed the Rann of Kutch and settled there taking up farming, they became known as Dhaneta Jats. Some have devted themselves to the study of the Koran and are known as the Fakirani Jats. All the Jats in Kutch are Muslims and have similar marriage and dowry customs. The Dhanetas are the largest of the Jat Communities. They live throughtout north western Kutch.

Living in the Mediterranean, daily life in ancient Rome revolved around the climate. Unlike the more northern Europeans of the past and today, the ancient Romans started their days early in the morning and finished work by the early afternoon, as it would have been much too hot to continue their work later into the day.
