Steve McDonald's CREDO is an accomplished, thoughtful, and infinitely engaging book. The beautifully crafted poems of this, McDonald's second full-length collection, take us many places: correctional facilities, Catholic churches, Jeffers's Hawk Tower, and Costco, but above all remain deeply rooted in soil, like the poems of Seamus Heaney. Each of the twelve sections of the book--the twelve "steps"--moves between the conviction that all life is transitory and the equally strong conviction that there is "immortality," or as McDonald defines it, a "once more, one more breath." Intelligent, honest, straightforward, these poems are a joy to spend time with. Each one reaffirms the faith that poetry matters. --Gail Wronsky, author of IMPERFECT PASTORALSCREDO is an intimate and beautiful collection drawn from one man's life. But it goes far beyond that to show us the commonality of our lives, rooted in rich physicality, growing in failure and humility and the heart breaking open. Through vivid language and well-chosen images, these poems bring us closer together. In the opening poem, "Step 1," Steve McDonald writes about reading a child's storybook to inmates at a women's prison, and we too become those listeners, gathered round, "wide-open eyes of lifers / brimming at the well of story." --Ellen Bass, author of LIKE A BEGGARThese are the poems of idea and story, dense with the images of daily life, its tattoos and churches, its children and rain. They follow the pattern of a man's recovery, his laughter and grief, his landscape and hope, his nostalgia and his desire. --Joseph Millar, author of KINGDOM

Where the undead stay: Almost every Kindred has a haven, and those who don't are a sorry lot indeed. From a prince's sprawling estate to the steam-tunnel of a Nosferatu, a haven says much about its owner. This collection of unique havens looks at the specific needs of the Kindred who maintain them and gives advice on how to incorporate them into a story. Havens of the Damned includes: a folio of intersting havens that characterize the Cainites who dwell within; tips for Storytellers and players on how to use their characters' havens in stories; and the new Background Haven, which helps quantify this unique and indispensable resource.

The importance of social relationships at work has long been recognized in the social sciences. Interest in this topic has been renewed through scholarly and popular discussions of social capital as well as recent innovations in network data collection and analysis. These developments have allowed researchers to ask a variety of new questions about the role of networks in the world of work and a multitude of approaches to answering those questions. While several monographs have been written on issues related to networks and work, none has simultaneously brought together the range of approaches used to explore this topic. Furthermore, this volume is the first to merge this focus on networks and work with a sociological perspective on inequality. Specifically, the chapters illuminate the processes by which social networks in work organizations can effectively generate, sustain and ameliorate social inequalities across individuals, firms, and occupational fields. In doing so, this volume offers valuable insights that inform researchers and policy makers alike regarding issues of workplace discrimination, diversity and innovation.
