A vivid and disquieting narrative of Jesuit slaveholding and its
historical relationship with Jesuit universities in the United
States The Society of Jesus, commonly known as the Jesuits, is
renowned for the quality of the order’s impact on higher
education. Less well known, however, is the relationship between
Jesuit higher education and slavery. For more than two hundred
years, Jesuit colleges and seminaries in the United States
supported themselves on the labor of the enslaved. “Let Us Go
Free” tells the complex stories of the free and enslaved people
associated with these Catholic institutions. Walker Gollar shows
that, in spite of their Catholic faith, Jesuits were in most
respects very typical slaveholders. At times, they may have been
concerned with the spiritual and physical well-being of the
enslaved, but mostly they were concerned with the finances of their
plantations and farms. Gollar traces the legacies of the Jesuits’
participation in the slaveholding economy, portrays the experiences
of those enslaved by the Jesuits, and shares the Jesuits’
attempts to come to terms with their history. Deeply based on
original research in Jesuit archives, “Let Us Go Free” provides
a vivid and disquieting narrative of Jesuit slaveholding for the
general reader interested in the historical relationship between
slavery and universities in the United States.
A solid knowledge base and good clinical skills don't necessarily
guarantee examination success in the long case OSCE. This book is
the ultimate guide for medical students needing to combine their
knowledge and skills with an ability to interpret the clinical
findings, the proficiency to present them clearly and the
confidence to deal with the examiners questions. Adopting a proven,
highly effective approach, this revision aid uses role play with
simulated patients to hone clinical examination and presentation
skills. The fifty cases are divided into six areas: cardiology,
respiratory, abdomen, neurology, musculoskeletal and surgery.
Written by successful candidates and examiners, the guide poses a
number of important and commonly asked examination questions for
each case to assist in preparation and confidence, and model
answers are provided to ensure an understanding of exactly what is
required. Working in groups or independently, students will welcome
the large, colourful format, the breakdown of marking schemes, an
overview of examiners expectations, a guide to presenting clinical
findings and innumerable 'insider' tips throughout. See

specially-priced Arguments of the Philosphers Collection.
Examining the twelve-decade legal conflict of government bans on
religious garb worn by teachers in U.S. public schools, this book
provides comprehensive documentation and analysis of the historical
origins and subsequent development of teachers' religious garb in
relation to contemporary legal challenges within the United Nations
and the European Union. By identifying and correcting factual
errors in the literature about historical bans on teachers' garb,
Walker demonstrates that there are still substantial and unresolved
legal questions to the constitutionality of state garb statutes and
reflects on how the contemporary conflicts are historically rooted.
Showcased through a wealth of laws and case studies, this book is
divided into eight clear and concise chapters and answers questions
such as: what are anti-religious-garb laws?; how have the state and
federal court decisions evolved?; what are the constitutional
standards?; what are the establishment clause and free exercise
clause arguments?; and how has this impacted current debates on
teachers' religious garb?, before concluding with an informative
summary of the points discussed throughout. The First Amendment and
State Bans on Teachers' Religious Garb is the ideal resource for
researchers, academics, and postgraduate students in the fields of
education, religion, education policy, sociology of education, and
law, or those looking to explore an in-depth development of the
laws and debates surrounding teachers' religious garb within the
last 125 years.

America's 754 million acres of forest constitute more than a major geographical feature. They are intricately woven into the national economy and culture-providing a fifth of the nation's industrial raw material, protecting and regulating its watersheds, providing grazing range for a sizeable portion of livestock, producing most of its game and much of its nonsport wildlife, and attracting millions of tourists annually. The Southern Forest: Geography, Ecology, and Silviculture examines in-depth the forests of the South, providing a comprehensive description of the region from which most of the nation's wood for housing and paper will be grown and harvested in the future. Closing the old-growth forests of the Northwest and reduction of harvests in the tropics necessitate the U.S. South intensifying tree growth to accommodate society's requirements. This book provides the information for practicing foresters, researchers, and students to increase forest growth dramatically for the many forest types and in the various subregions without detrimentally affecting soil, species diversity, or long-term aesthetics. The four factors of site-edaphic, biotic, climatic, and physiographic-are given special attention. Over 200 photographs; an extensive listing of literature citations; and appendixes of tree, insect, and disease agents are included. With files of field notes and photographs, Walker and Oswald revisit-and take the reader along to grasp-the South's rich forests. A land manager will need no other reference to the soils, biotic components, climate or physiology of the region.
Marriage, Writing, and Romanticism studies marriage in two sets of
literary texts from the Regency decade: the novels of Jane
Austen-who avoided marriage in her own life but seems to have
written about nothing else-and a set of non-canonical and generally
unfamiliar poems by William Wordsworth, who seems never to turn to
the subject of his own marriage.With other Romantic writers who
also figure in this study, Austen and Wordsworth confronted the
impossibility of writing about anything other than marriage and the
imperative either to celebrate or condemn it. Thanks to the latest
scholarly editions of Wordsworth, Walker introduces previously
undiscussed material.Walker reads conjugality as the compulsory
ground of modern identity, an Enlightenment legacy we still grapple
with today, and offers new perspectives on literature through the
writing of Austen and Wordsworth and theories of marriage in
Godwin, Wollstonecraft, Hegel, Kierkegaard, and, in our time, Adam
Phillips and Stanley Cavell.

This book explores and exemplifies some of the subtler links
between opinion, governance and law in early modern England by
investigating moral panics. Modern media-driven 'law and order'
panics may have originated in eighteenth-century England, with the
development of the press and government sensibility to opinion, but
there were earlier panics about witchcraft and popery. Essays by an
experienced team of scholars discuss broadly episodes of moral
panic before and after 1689, and consider their implications for
changes in governance.
In God and Elizabeth Bishop Cheryl Walker takes the bold step of
looking at the work of Elizabeth Bishop as though it might have
something fresh to say about religion and poetry. Going wholly
against the tide of recent academic practice, especially as applied
to Bishop, she delights in presenting herself as an engaged
Christian who nevertheless believes that a skeptical modern poet
might feed our spiritual hungers. This is a book that reminds us of
the rich tradition of religious poetry written in English, at the
same time taking delicious detours into realms of humour, social
responsibility, and mysticism.
This timely study analyzes the 17th century revival of monasticism by English women who founded convents in France and the Low Countries. Examining the nuns' membership of both the English Catholic community and the continental Catholic Church, it argues that despite strict monastic enclosure and exile, they nevertheless engaged actively in the spiritual and political controversies of their day. The book will add much to our understanding of women's power in early modern Europe, and offer an insight into a previously ignored section of English society.

Discourse Perspectives in Organizational Communication brings
together researchers from the social sciences and humanities to
look at discourse and how it shapes organizations and their social
actors. Unlike others in the field, this book assumes that language
creates and constitutes reality, rather than simply mirroring or
describing it. This collection illustrates the variety of
organizational phenomena that might be studied and the range of
epistemological and methodological approaches that might be used in
discourse analysis techniques.
An exploration of links between opinion and governance in Early
Modern England, studying moral panics about crime, sex and belief.
Hypothesizing that media-driven panics proliferated in the 1700s,
with the development of newspapers and government sensibility to
opinion, it also considers earlier panics about cross-dressing and
witchcraft.
