The general councils of the fifteenth century constituted a
remarkable political experiment, which used collective
decision-making to tackle important problems facing the church.
Such problems had hitherto received rigid top-down management from
Rome. However, at Constance and Basle, they were debated by
delegates of different ranks from across Europe and resolved
through majority voting. Fusing the history of political thought
with the study of institutional practices, this innovative study
relates the procedural innovations of the general councils and
their anti-heretical activities to wider trends in corporate
politics, intellectual culture and pastoral reform. Alexander
Russell argues that the acceptance of collective decision-making at
the councils was predicated upon the prevalence of group
participation and deliberation in small-scale corporate culture.
Conciliarism and Heresy in Fifteenth-Century England offers a
fundamental reassessment of England's relationship with the general
councils, revealing how political thought, heresy, and collective
politics were connected.
First published in 1914, as the second edition of a 1904 original,
this book forms part one of a two-volume series written to provide
a guide to the more general mathematical theorems used by
electricians in their everyday work. Illustrative figures are
incorporated throughout the text. This book will be of value to
anyone with an interest in electricity, physics and the history of
science.

"The Teachings of Modern Roman Catholicism on Law, Politics,
and Human Nature" examines how modern Catholic thinkers have
answered the most pressing political, legal, and ethical questions
of our time. It discusses the enduring teachings of important
Catholic intellectuals of the late nineteenth and twentieth
centuries. Leading contemporary scholars analyze these thinkers'
views on the nature and purpose of law and authority, the limits of
rule and obedience, the care of the needy and innocent, the ethics
of war and violence, and the separation of church and state, among
other themes. A diverse and powerful portrait of Catholic legal and
political thought, this volume underscores the various ways
Catholic intellectuals have shaped modern debates over the family,
the state, religion, and society. The book focuses on the writings
of Pope Leo XIII (1810-1903); Jacques Maritain (1882-1973); John
Courtney Murray (1904-1967); Pope John XXIII (1881-1963); Gustavo
Guti?rrez (b. 1928); Dorothy Day (1897-1980); and Pope John Paul II
(1920-2005).
