This book, first published in 1982, takes the interaction between
the domestic economy and the international trade in oil and,
through the use of a consistent microeconomic framework, examines
the conditions under which energy and related policies may or may
not improve the performance of the U.S. economy, during both normal
periods and old supply disruptions. This title will be of interests
to students of environmental management.

Originally published in 1983, Broadman and Montgomery present an
agenda for further research into deregulated natural gas markets by
relating natural gas production, transmission and distribution with
the economic function of contracts and local distribution
companies. This work raises fundamental issues that could arise
with the deregulation of the natural gas industry and outlines
analytical methods that could be used to predict any problems that
might arise and possible changes to policy. This title is of
interest to students of Environmental Studies and professionals.

The salmon that symbolize the Pacific Northwest's natural splendor
are now threatened with extinction across much of their ancestral
range. In studying the natural and human forces that shape the
rivers and mountains of that region, geologist David Montgomery has
learned to see the evolution and near-extinction of the salmon as a
story of changing landscapes. Montgomery shows how a succession of
historical experiences -first in the United Kingdom, then in New
England, and now in the Pacific Northwest -repeat a disheartening
story in which overfishing and sweeping changes to rivers and seas
render the world inhospitable to salmon. In "King of Fish,"
Montgomery traces the human impacts on salmon over the last
thousand years and examines the implications both for salmon
recovery efforts and for the more general problem of human impacts
on the natural world. What does it say for the long-term prospects
of the world's many endangered species if one of the most
prosperous regions of the richest country on earth cannot
accommodate its icon species? All too aware of the possible bleak
outcome for the salmon, "King of Fish"concludes with provocative
recommendations for reinventing the ways in which we make
environmental decisions about land, water, and fish.
Central Asia is a diverse and complex region of the world often
characterized in the West as being difficult to access. Central
Asia: Contexts for Understanding offers the most comprehensive
introduction to the region available. Combining thematic chapters
with case studies, readers will learn to appreciate the
interconnected aspects of life in Central Asia. These wide-ranging,
easy-to-understand contributions from some of the leading scholars
in the field provide the context needed to understand Central Asia
and presents a launching-off point for further research.
Elder McCutcheon's masterful treatise on the very important subject
of discipleship and growing in the knowledge of grace and Christian

We at the Primitive Baptist Heritage Corporation are honored and
humbled to be the new custodians of ""The Good Old Songs."" We
dearly love this hymnal and are deeply rooted in its heritage. Over
the past year, we have been prayerfully laboring to provide a new
generation with the next volume of ""The Good Old Songs."" In a
desire to make the second volume as perfect as possible, we decided
to make this ""little book"" as a first attempt to practice
formatting. In this book you will most likely find publishing
errors. If you do happen to find such errors, whether in the notes
or words, please let us know. We beg an interest in your input.
Beyond these logistics, we feel confident that this book will be
greatly beneficial to God's people as a supplement hymnal for
worship, singings, and singing schools. It is our prayer that the
music contained within this book will be satisfying to the ear and,
most importantly, bring glory to God.
This book was written as an attempt to help the writer move to a
closer walk with God. Life is full of sadness, disappointment, and
tragedy. During one of my life's worst moments, I read the
wonderful book, "Thoughts for Everyday Living" by Mr. Maltbie B.
Babcock, who was pastor of Brown Memorial Presbyterian Church in
Baltimore, Maryland. He was acclaimed for his oratory and use of
colorful metaphors in his sermons. His book changed my life for the
better and I hold him and his writings in the highest esteem. I
thank the Lord that I was blessed to read after him and publicly
acknowledge his influence on my feeble attempts at writing. I
dedicate this book to his memory and to the God that he served.
In this challenging and thought-provoking book, author James David
Montgomery points out that although churches dot almost every
street corner in America, many have strayed from God's original
design. He believes too many churches today stand in stark contrast
to the first century church that turned the world upside down. Rev.
Montgomery calls on Christians of every denomination to return to
their roots and rediscover what made the early church great. He
reminds us of the building-shaking, great-grace,
fear-of-God-preaching, Pharisee-defying,
souls-added-to-the-church-daily explosions of God's glory in the
book of Acts.

With unprecedented subtlety, compassion and richness of detail,
Susan Porter Benson takes readers into the budgets and the lives of
working-class families in the United States between the two world
wars. Focusing on families from regions across America and of
differing races and ethnicities, she argues that working-class
families of the time were not on the verge of entering the middle
class and embracing mass culture. Rather, she contends that during
the interwar period such families lived in a context of scarcity
and limited resources, not plenty. Their consumption, Benson
argues, revolved around hard choices about basic needs and provided
therapeutic satisfactions only secondarily, if at all.Household
Accounts is rich with details Benson gathered from previously
untapped sources, particularly interviews with women wage earners
conducted by field agents of the Women's Bureau of the Department
of Labor. She provides a vivid picture of a working-class culture
of family consumption: how working-class families negotiated funds;
how they made qualitative decisions about what they wanted; how
they determined financial strategies and individual goals; and how,
in short, families made ends meet during this period. Topics
usually central to the histories of consumption-he development of
mass consumer culture, the hegemony of middle-class versions of
consumption, and the expanded offerings of the
marketplace-contributed to but did not control the lives of
working-class people. Ultimately, Household Accounts seriously
calls into question the usual narrative of a rising and inclusive
tide of twentieth-century consumption.

August Sartorius von Waltershausen (1852-1938) was an eminent
German economist who visited the United States at the beginning of
the 1880s and wrote a series of articles on the US labor movement,
which were published in Germany. His training in the historical
school of economics provided him with a different perspective from
that of laissez-faire economists or socialists of his time. The
articles are translated in this book, and presented with a
biographical essay by Marcel van der Linden and Gregory Zieren and
with an essay on his contribution to the writing of American labor
history by David Montgomery. This book provides rich insights into
the character of American workers' organizations as they recovered
from the depression of the 1870s, before the establishment of
strong national institutions.
Neither an autobiography nor a scholarly analysis, Labor's
Struggles, 1945-1950: A Participant's View is a skilful blend of
both genres. Informative and original in its insights and analyses,
this book provides the reader with information available from no
other source. These insights must be included in any subsequent
efforts to interpret this period in labour history. Richter based
this account largely on his own experience as legislative
representative for the United Auto Workers - C.I.O. from 1943 to
1947, as well as on documents and conversations from that period,
supplemented with historical research. This study of policy making
in union headquarters and in Washington focuses on the 1945 splits
within the C.I.O. as well as the sharp divisions between the
'social' C.I.O. and the 'opportunistic' A.F.L. In addition, it
focuses on the Labour Management (Taft-Hartley) Act of 1947 which
divided an already fragmented movement.
