This study provides the first systematic account of John Henry Newman's treatment of heresy and heretics in the early Church, and thus sheds light on an area hitherto unexplored in books about Newman.
The author of this book describes an important aspect of the young
John Henry Newman at Oxford: the close relationship between the
historical researches of his study, and the teeming world of early
19th century controversy. The setting Dr Thomas describes is Oxford
between the 1820s and the 1840s, when Newman made his ambitious and
doomed attempt to re-invent the catholicity of the Church of
England, and where party-grouping, enmity, and friendship were
inextricably meshed in the intense world of nascent tractarianism.
The author shows that in Newman's battle against the Protestant
wing of the Church of England, and the (to him) even more sinister
liberals, he saw parallels with the struggle of the early Church
against heresy. Newman's rediscovery of ancient Patristic writers
and heretics was thus part of a strategy to revive Catholicism
within the Anglican Church, where the past was read in light of the
present, and the present in light of the past. Thomas shows how
Newman's eventual conversion to Rome in 1845 may be understood as a
change in his perception of heresy, and a realisation of the
applicability of his own polemic to his Anglican self.
The authors argue clearly and convincingly in this book that the
debt crisis which has plagued the world economy for the past ten
years is due to the inherent fragility of financial markets.
Governments, financial institutions and borrowers, including
developing countries, have simply expected too much from these
markets. In a world of volatile interest rates, exchange rates and
uncertain government policy, it is virtually impossible for
financial institutions to effectively distinguish fundamental
shifts in economic activity from random shocks.
The conclusion reached in this book is that the debt crisis which
has plagued the world economy for the past ten years is due to the
inherent fragility of financial markets. Governments, financial
institutions and borrowers, including developing countries, have
simply expected too much from these markets. In a world of volatile
interest rates, exchange rates and uncertain government policy, it
is virtually impossible for financial institutions to effectively
distinguish fundamental shifts in economic activity from random
shocks. Therefore mistakes, when identified, are corrected only
with a long lag. In addition to a detailed analysis of this thesis,
the book contains an evaluation of recent proposals to harmonize
international bank regulations and an extensive discussion of how
financial markets are absorbing the huge losses which have emanated
from the inability of borrowers to meet their debt service
payments.
"McCloskey and Ziliak have been pushing this very elementary, very
correct, very important argument through several articles over
several years and for reasons I cannot fathom it is still resisted.
If it takes a book to get it across, I hope this book will do it.
It ought to."--Thomas Schelling, Distinguished University
Professor, School of Public Policy, University of Maryland, and
2005 Nobel Prize Laureate in Economics "With humor, insight,
piercing logic and a nod to history, Ziliak and McCloskey show how
economists--and other scientists--suffer from a mass delusion about
statistical analysis. The quest for statistical significance that
pervades science today is a deeply flawed substitute for thoughtful
analysis. . . . Yet few participants in the scientific bureaucracy
have been willing to admit what Ziliak and McCloskey make clear:
the emperor has no clothes."--Kenneth Rothman, Professor of
Epidemiology, Boston University School of Health "The Cult of
Statistical Significance" shows, field by field, how "statistical
significance," a technique that dominates many sciences, has been a
huge mistake. The authors find that researchers in a broad spectrum
of fields, from agronomy to zoology, employ "testing" that doesn't
test and "estimating" that doesn't estimate. The facts will startle
the outside reader: how could a group of brilliant scientists
wander so far from scientific magnitudes? This study will encourage
scientists who want to know how to get the statistical sciences
back on track and fulfill their quantitative promise. The book
shows for the first time how wide the disaster is, and how bad for
science, and it traces the problem to its historical, sociological,
andphilosophical roots. Stephen T. Ziliak is the author or editor
of many articles and two books. He currently lives in Chicago,
where he is Professor of Economics at Roosevelt University. Deirdre
N. McCloskey, Distinguished Professor of Economics, History,
English, and Communication at the University of Illinois at
Chicago, is the author of twenty books and three hundred scholarly
articles. She has held Guggenheim and National Humanities
Fellowships. She is best known for "How to Be Human* Though an
Economist "(University of Michigan Press, 2000) and her most recent
book, "The Bourgeois Virtues: Ethics for an Age of Commerce
"(2006).
The Western Front has become, once again, and after 100 years, an
important and increasingly popular tourist destination. The
Centenary is already encouraging large numbers of visitors to
engage with this highly poignant landscape of war and to
commemorate the sacrifice and loss of a previous generation.
Interest is also being sharpened in the 'places of war' as
battle-sites, trench-systems, bunkers and mine craters gain a
clearer identity as war heritage. For the first time this book
brings together the three strands of heritage, landscape and
tourism to provide a fresh understanding of the multi-layered
nature of the Western Front. The book approaches the area as a rich
dynamic landscape which can be viewed in a startling variety of
ways: historically, materially, culturally, and perceptually. To
illustrate these two dominant interpretations of the region's
landscape - commemorative and heritage - are highlighted and their
relationship to tourism explored. Tourism is a lens through which
these layers can be peeled away, and each understood and interacted
with according to the individual's own knowledge, motivation, and
degree of emotional engagement.Tourism is not regarded here as a
passive phenomenon, but as an active agent that can determine,
dictate and inscribe this evocative landscape. The Western Front:
Heritage, Landscape and Tourism is a timely addition to our
increasing interest in the First World War and the places where it
was fought. It will be indispensable to those who seek a deeper
understanding of the conflict from previously undervalued
perspectives.
In this engaging and deeply informed book, Knight looks at the
different manifestations of Robin Hood at different times and
places in a mythic biography with a thematic structure.
