By DAVID C. COOK III and JENNY WREN. David C. Cook III was unable
to complete his vision of a Bible story where the reader seemed to
be there to actually experience events. In this book Jenny Wren
(Lois Blaschak) continues his quest, adding her chapters to his
present tense chronicle. Go to www.reservebook.com for paperback
version.
"It is Unputdownable &rdquo
--Rev. Dawn Linder
"Compassion is indeed not pity; it is to believe in and live by
justice. Rev. Bob Cook's life and ministry, in so many ways, offers
the proof necessary to live by the only life that
counts--compassion: 'to suffer with.' To speak with Bob about those
in need and to have been given the grace, even for a short while,
to serve alongside him offers all of us a lesson in the only life
worth living. As Bob has changed so many lives, so will this book
change its readers. We live by compassion or we die. --Fr. Jim
Laurenzo, Leader of Drake University Student Delegation
"This book tells the story of a Presbyterian minister who truly
took the biblical call to do justice seriously. It tells of his
journey to serve the poor in El Salvador and, in doing so, his
learning more about what it means to be a follower of Jesus from
the people he served." --Frank Cordaro, Phil Berrigan Catholic

ISIAME 2000 was organized by the Condensed Matter and Materials
Physics Research Group at Old Dominion University, Norfolk,
Virginia. It brought together an international group of research
scientists and engineers from academia and industry to present
details of the most recent investigations on industrially related
topics and projects using Mossbauer Spectroscopy as a primary
analytical technique. These proceedings inciude the papers
presented under the broad topics of Chemistry, Surfaces, Materials
Processing, Industrial Processing, and Magnetic and Electronic
Materials. Specific research areas drawing much interest include
corrosion, catalysis, mechanical alloying, petrochemical, steel and
mineralogical processing, nano-phase materials and environmental
and pollution monitoring.
The book is of particular interest to university researchers and
a very broad range of industrial R&D groups who desire to
broaden their knowledge of the latest applications and methods of
highly resolved spectroscopic analysis of their products. "
Chris Cook lifts the lid on the 'third Party;' charting their
fascinating journey over the last century, from the landslide
victory of 1906 under Asquith, via their descent into divisions and
decline in the interwar years, to in-depth analysis of the 2010
British Election and their return to Government in the
Conservative-Lib Dem coalition.
From 1970 to 1977 a major project to uncover source material for
students of contemporary British history and politics was
undertaken at the British Library of Political and Economic
Science. Fiananced by the Social Science Research Council, and
under the direction of Dr Chris Cook, this project has attempted a
unique and systematic operation to locate, and then to make readily
available, those archives that provide the indispensable source
material for the contemporary historian. This volume (the fifth in
the series) provides a guide to the papers of propagandists who
were influential in British public life. Included in this volume
are the papers of such persons as newspaper editors, leading
economists, social reformers, socialist thinkers, trade unionists,
industrialists and a variety of theologians and philanthropists. In
all, this volume not only completes the findings of the project but
opens up the archive sources of a hitherto neglected area of
research into contemporary social and political history.

This new edition of the now well-established European Political Facts provides a wide-ranging and comprehensive work of reference on Europe in the 20th century. There are sections on heads of state and ministers, elections, political parties, constitutions, wars, and treaties, among many others (updated to January 1, 2000. Recent events, from developments in the European Union to conflicts in the Balkans, receive full attention. This latest edition of a pioneering reference work first published 25 years ago is an indispensable acquisition for all those studying 20th-century Europe.
From the ragtime one-step of the early twentieth century to the
contemporary practices of youth club cultures, popular dance and
music are inextricably linked. This collection reveals the intimate
connections between the corporeal and the sonic in the creation,
transmission and reception of popular dance and music, which is
imagined here as 'bodies of sound'. The volume provokes a
wide-ranging, interdisciplinary conversation that includes
scholarship from Asia, Europe and the United States, which explores
topics from the nineteenth century through to the present day and
engages with practices at local, national and transnational levels.
In Part I: Constructing the Popular, the authors explore how
categories of popular music and dance are constructed and
de-stabilized, and their proclivity to appropriate and re-imagine
cultural forms and meanings. In Part II: Authenticity, Revival and
Reinvention, the authors examine how popular forms produce and
manipulate identities and meanings through their attraction to and
departure from cultural traditions. In Part III: (Re)Framing Value,
the authors interrogate how values are inscribed, silenced,
rearticulated and capitalized through popular music and dance. And
in Part IV: Politics of the Popular, the authors read the popular
as a site of political negotiation and transformation.
This significant work records the history of the pioneering British
Home and Hospital for Incurables, founded in 1861. It examines the
social, political and medical climate through the years and charts
the fascinating and important changes over this time. It provides a
vital overview for historians of medicine, healthcare and social
development. Physicians, nurses and managers involved in care of
the elderly and long-term sick will find the research enlightening,
as will local historians and anyone with an interest in the history
of South London.
American literary realism burgeoned during a period of tremendous
technological innovation. Because the realists evinced not only a
fascination with this new technology but also an ethos that seems
to align itself with science, many have paired the two fields
rather unproblematically. But this book demonstrates that many
realist writers, from Mark Twain to Stephen Crane, Charles W.
Chesnutt to Edith Wharton, felt a great deal of anxiety about the
advent of new technologies - precisely at the crucial intersection
of ethics and language. For these writers, the communication
revolution was a troubling phenomenon, not only because of the ways
in which the new machines had changed and increased the circulation
of language but, more pointedly, because of the ways in which
language itself had effectively become a machine: a vehicle
perpetuating some of society's most pernicious cliches and
stereotypes - particularly stereotypes of race - in unthinking
iteration. This work takes a close look at how the realists tried
to forge an ethical position between the two poles of science and
sentimentality, attempting to create an alternative mode of speech
that, avoiding the trap of codifying iteration, could enable
ethical action.

This volume challenges the imagery of cities by looking through a
gendered lens at how women utilize urban space. Focusing on the
conceptual and methodological manner of boundaries, the book
reminds us that women are members of multiple and diverse groups
and as such, they can be active, creative, and powerful agents.
Multidisciplinary essays, contributed by urbanists, geographers,
political scientists, and historians, explore the ways in which
women confront, break down, resist, and form new boundaries and
interconnections, both visible and invisible. Arguing for a change
in the traditional agenda of cities, the authors investigate how
aspects of urban life and space would look considerably different
if the alternatives and options presented by women and other
marginalized groups were taken into account. They urge us toward a
better understanding of how diverse social groups interact, how
urban space can enhance such interaction, and what role formal and
informal laws, by-laws, policies, and other planning measures
should play.
Mao Zedong's Little Red Book (Quotations from Chairman Mao) - a
compilation of the Chinese leader's speeches and writings - is one
of the most visible and ubiquitous symbols of twentieth-century
radicalism. Published for the first time in 1964, it rapidly became
the must-have accessory for Red Guards and revolutionaries from
Berkeley to Bamako. Yet, despite its worldwide circulation and
enduring presence there has, until now, been no serious scholarly
effort to understand this seminal text as a global historical
phenomenon. Mao's Little Red Book brings together a range of
innovative scholars from around the world to explore the
fascinating variety of uses and forms that Mao's Quotations has
taken, from rhetoric, art and song, to talisman, badge, and weapon.
The authors of this pioneering volume use Mao's Quotations as a
medium through which to re-examine the history of the
twentieth-century world, challenging established ideas about the
book to reveal its remarkable global impact.
