it all happen? Dr. Stephenson's book, Denominational Stew: American
Style answers these questions and more

Section Two carries us through the Colonial period, through two
Great Awakenings and introduces us to the Great Revivalist of early
America. The reader will walk alongside Pilgrims, Puritans,
Separatists, and Reformists, as they tame a new world and form a
government while seeking freedom of religion, "the freedom to
worship God without being told 'how to' by leaders on a distant
continent."
As early Americans learned and grew, they imported old
movements, old denominations, and then created their own. These
ideas will go on to influence denominations yet to be born Each
movement-some lasted and grew strong, while others faded away into
theological dust-produced the roots for many of our Christian
denominations today.

intended for adult study groups, home group study, and even for a
better secular understanding of Christianity in America; for
everyone seeking to understand the history and role of Christian
denominations in America today.Texas.
This book brings together and makes easily accessible data on flash
points pres- ently listed in the standard references, plus many
values measured in American indus- trial laboratories and European
data as represented by the Fluka catalog and by values given in
Nabert and Schoen. It is a collection that should be useful to
those involved in manufacturing, handling, and shipping the many
organics and organometallics now in production. The author would
like to thank David Harvey, President, and Chuck Pouchert, of
Aldrich Chemical Company, for permission to use their material and
for provid- ing a computer printout of some six thousand chemicals
listed in the Aldrich cata- log. Flash points for most of these
chemicals were measured in the Aldrich laboratories and are not
available elsewhere. Thanks are due also to Dr. Marjan Bace of
Elsevier Science Publishing Co., Inc., who recognized the need for
a handbook on flash points and handled the pub- lishing
arrangements. Particular thanks go to my wife, Mary, who prepared
the entire camera-ready manuscript. Richard M. Stephenson The
University of Connecticut Storrs, Connecticut December, 1986 v
Introduction Flash points are of particular importance to those
involved with the handling and ship- ping of organics and
organometaliics. As each country has its own shipping regula-
tions, this can be a real problem for international shippers. Many
flash points have been determined by individual chemical
manufacturers in answer to their own needs.

Secrets of Becoming brings into conversation modes of thought
traditionally held apart: Whitehead's philosophy of the event,
Deleuze's philosophy of multiplicity, and Judith Butler's
philosophy of gender difference. Why should one try to connect
these strains of thinking? What might make the work of these
thinkers negotiable with one another? This volume finds that bridge
in an emphasis on "becoming" that secretly defines the philosophies
of Whitehead, Deleuze, and Butler. Its three sections investigate
their surprising confluence in a "philosophy of becoming" in
relation to the question of the event, bodies and societies, and
immanence and divinity. A substantial Introduction gives an
extended comparison of the three thinkers.
