The nail-biting story of when the hardhats of downtown Manhattan
beat scores of hippies bloody in May 1970, four days after Kent
State, and how the nation reacted. In May 1970, four days after
Kent State, construction workers chased students through downtown
Manhattan, beating scores of protestors bloody. As hardhats clashed
with hippies, it soon became clear that something larger was
happening; Democrats were at war with themselves. In The Hardhat
Riot, David Paul Kuhn tells the fateful story-how chaotic it was,
when it began, when the white working class first turned against
liberalism, when Richard Nixon seized the breach, and America was
forever changed. It was unthinkable one generation before: FDR's
"forgotten man" siding with the party of Big Business and,
ultimately, paving the way for presidencies from Ronald Reagan to
Donald Trump. In the shadow of the half-built Twin Towers, on the
same day the Knicks rallied against the odds and won their first
championship, we relive the schism that tore liberalism apart. We
experience the tumult of Nixon's America and John Lindsay's New
York City, as festering division explodes into violence. Nixon's
advisors realize that this tragic turn is their chance, that the
Democratic coalition has collapsed and that "these, quite candidly,
are our people now." In this nail-biting story, Kuhn delivers on
meticulous research and reporting, drawing from thousands of pages
of never-before-seen records. We go back to a harrowing day that
explains the politics of today. We experience the battle between
two tribes fighting different wars, soon to become different
Americas, ultimately reliving a liberal war that maimed both sides.
We come to see how it all was laid bare one brutal day, when the
Democratic Party's future was bludgeoned by its past, as if it was
a last gasp to say that we once mattered too.

Many readers of the Bible believe that interpreting the Scriptures
well simply involves a two-way dialogue between themselves and the
text. Implied in this view is the idea that we can simply jump over
two thousand years of biblical interpretation. However, if we
believe that God has been speaking through the Bible to devout
believers throughout history it would seem that we should find a
way to identify the insights they perceived in the text so that we
can learn to read these sacred texts with them. Drawing on
resources from Reception Theory, the goal of 'Reading the Bible
with the Giants' is to enable the contemporary reader to interpret
the Bible in dialogue with those who have gone before us.
David Moessner proposes a new understanding of the relation of
Luke's second volume to his Gospel to open up a whole new reading
of Luke's foundational contribution to the New Testament. For
postmodern readers who find Acts a 'generic outlier,' dangling
tenuously somewhere between the 'mainland' of the evangelists and
the 'Peloponnese' of Paul-diffused and confused and shunted to the
backwaters of the New Testament by these signature corpora-Moessner
plunges his readers into the hermeneutical atmosphere of Greek
narrative poetics and elaboration of multi-volume works to inhale
the rhetorical swells that animate Luke's first readers in their
engagement of his narrative. In this collection of twelve of his
essays, re-contextualized and re-organized into five major topical
movements, Moessner showcases multiple Hellenistic texts and
rhetorical tropes to spotlight the various signals Luke provides
his readers of the multiple ways his Acts will follow "all that
Jesus began to do and to teach" (Acts 1:1) and, consequently, bring
coherence to this dominant block of the New Testament that has long
been split apart. By collapsing the world of Jesus into the words
and deeds of his followers, Luke re-configures the significance of
Israel's "Christ" and the "Reign" of Israel's God for all peoples
and places to create a new account of 'Gospel Acts,' discrete and
distinctively different than the "narrative" of the "many" (Luke
1:1). Luke the Historian of Israel's Legacy combines what no
analysis of the Lukan writings has previously accomplished,
integrating seamlessly two 'generically-estranged' volumes into one
new whole from the intent of the one composer. For Luke is the
Hellenistic historian and simultaneously 'biblical' theologian who
arranges the one "plan of God" read from the script of the Jewish
scriptures-parts and whole, severally and together-as the saving
'script' for the whole world through Israel's suffering and raised
up "Christ," Jesus of Nazareth. In the introductions to each major
theme of the essays, this noted scholar of the Lukan writings
offers an epitome of the main features of Luke's theological
'thought,' and, in a final Conclusions chapter, weaves together a
comprehensive synthesis of this new reading of the whole.
Within the stunning landscape of Derbyshire lies a wealth of
historic churches. These buildings have borne witness to the
changes that have taken place in the county through the centuries.
Towns, villages and cities all have their church buildings, many
dating from the Middle Ages. In this book author David Paul surveys
the historic churches of Derbyshire. They range from the plague
village church of St Lawrence in Eyam, the famous crooked spire of
St Mary and All Saints at Chesterfield, Bakewell's medieval church
of All Saints with its Saxon crosses and carved stones, and many
more. The text is accompanied throughout by attractive photographs
of these captivating places of worship. This fascinating picture of
an important part of the history of Derbyshire over the centuries
will be of interest to all those who live in or are visiting this
county in England.
The historic county of Yorkshire is the largest county in England,
with 157 Grade I listed churches alone in the whole region. This
book will cover a selection of churches throughout the southern
half of Yorkshire, both well-known and those waiting to be
discovered by a wider audience, showing a wide range of styles
through the centuries. It covers a huge range of places and
landscapes, and its churches reflect this variety, as well as
representing the history of this section of Yorkshire. Some of the
medieval churches reflect the wealth of their local area at the
time, often from trade or monasteries nearby, or the importance of
the local town or city, but others served more remote communities
and still stand out in the landscape today. Later centuries also
made their mark on Yorkshire churches, both in their structures and
furnishings, from Georgian simplicity to often spectacular
Victorian and twentieth-century architecture in the county’s
industrialised towns and cities. In Churches of Southern Yorkshire,
author David Paul explores a cross-section of historical churches
throughout the county, both the well known and those waiting to be
discovered by a wider audience. This fascinating picture of an
important part of southern Yorkshire’s history will be of
interest to all those who live in or are visiting this splendid
county in England.
Enhance your OT skills with the only book to focus on activity
demands of occupation and the biomechanics of sensory organs!
Greene and Roberts' Kinesiology: Movement in the Context of
Activity, 3rd Edition uses a comprehensive, client-centered
approach to occupational therapy, including sensory-motor
performance skills and socio-cultural contexts related to solving a
clinical problem. It covers kinesiologic and biomechanical
principles, and shows techniques for producing positive outcomes
when clients face challenging activity demands in all areas of
occupation. Written by OTs for OTs, this reference helps you learn
how to treat clinical diagnoses as personal experiences encountered
in real-life situations. Client-focused approach presents
information in the same order an OT practitioner would follow to
solve a clinical problem, emphasizing kinesiologic and
biomechanical principles rather than mathematics and trigonometry.
Nearly 300 detailed, colorful illustrations make it easier to
understand how human movement relates to occupational performance.
Coverage of the entire body shows how biomechanical principles
apply to activity demands on the head and trunk, as well as to the
upper and lower extremities. Case studies present real-life client
situations, allowing you to apply concepts and solve problems.
Critical thinking questions, physical activities, and interactive
exercises stress clear, conceptual thinking and an understanding of
real client situations. Lab Manual for Kinesiology: Movement in the
Context of Activity at the back of the book offers hands-on
activities including movement of the human musculoskeletal system,
wheelchair stability and transfers, sensory receptors, movements of
the upper extremities, and positioning of the hip, knee, and ankle.
Closer Look boxes examine key topics that are complicated or need
further explanation, and add information relevant to practice. NEW!
Utilizing the Sensory Environment: Integrating Physics into Sensory
Interventions chapter explores how the forces used in the
application of hands, tools, or equipment activate the sensory
receptor cells, leading to more reliable assessments and outcomes.
Lancashire is a county of contrasts, with heavily industrialised
and urbanised areas, remote mountain and moorland and an extensive
coastline. These contrasts are reflected in its churches, from
buildings that have stood from the Middle Ages in historic towns
and villages including the county town of Lancaster, Nonconformist
chapels and Georgian structures, to the churches built during the
industrial and Victorian age where the wealth and population of
Lancashire grew massively and people flocked to popular new leisure
destinations such as Blackpool, into the modern era of the last
century. In Churches of Lancashire, author David Paul explores a
cross-section of historical churches throughout the county, both
the well known and those waiting to be discovered by a wider
audience. This fascinating picture of an important part of the
history of Lancashire over the centuries will be of interest to all
those who live in or are visiting this attractive county in
England.
