Smith tries to redress the balance with a comprehensive history of
mission that highlights the critical contributions of women, as
well as the theological developments that influenced their role.
Beginning with an examination of the New Testament record, Smith
goes on to review the long period between the apostolic church and
the Second Vatican Council. Following a survey of critical
developments since 1965 in both Catholic and other churches, she
concludes with a magisterial chapter entitled "A Feminist
Missiology for Contemporary Missionary Women. "Women in Mission" is
a landmark in women's history and essential reading for anyone
engaged in historical, theological, mission, and women's studies.
Howard Thurman (1900-1981), minister, philosopher, civil rights
activist, has been called "one of the greatest spiritual resources
of this nation." His encounters with Gandhi in India helped instill
his commitment to nonviolence. His identification of Jesus as one
of the disinherited helped shape the thinking of Martin Luther
King, Jr. His embrace of wisdom from other religious traditions
emboldened interfaith cooperation and understanding.

""Skylark Three"", though a complete story in itself, continues the
adventures of Richard Seaton, Marc DuQuesne, Dunark of Kondal and
others introduced in ""The Skylark of Space"". Strange beings on
strange worlds are created by the tacile pen and fertile
imagination of Dr. Smith. Scientific wonders and adventures merge
in a tale that is certain to hold the reader's interest from the
very first page. Basically, ""Skylark Three"" is the story of Dr.
Richard Seaton's quest for knowledge with which to combat the
vastly superior science of the Fenachrone, a semi-human race of
beings from a distant solar system, who threaten the very existence
of countless civilized worlds. Somewhere, Seaton believes, must
live a cure whose knowledge is greater than that of the invaders.

This book examines the judicial opinions and criminal justice
policy impact of Justice John Paul Stevens, the U.S. Supreme
Court's most prolific opinion author during his 35-year career on
the nation's highest court. Although Justice Stevens, a Republican
appointee of President Gerald Ford, had a professional reputation
as a corporate antitrust law attorney, he immediately asserted
himself as the Court's foremost advocate of prisoners' rights and
Miranda rights when he arrived at the Court in 1975. In examining
Justice Stevens's opinions on these topics as well as others,
including capital punishment and right to counsel, the chapters of
the book connect his prior experiences with the development of his
views on rights in criminal justice. In particular, the book
examines his relevant experiences as a law clerk to Justice Wiley
Rutledge in the Supreme Court's 1947 term, a volunteer attorney
handling criminal cases in Illinois, and a judge on the U.S. court
of appeals to explore how these experiences shaped his
understanding of the importance of rights in criminal justice. For
many issues, such as those affecting imprisoned offenders, Justice
Stevens was a strong defender of rights throughout his career. For
other issues, such as capital punishment, there is evidence that he
became increasingly protective of rights over the course of his
Supreme Court career. The book also examines how Justice Stevens
became increasingly important as a leading dissenter against the
diminution of rights in criminal justice as the Supreme Court's
composition became increasingly conservative in the 1980s and
thereafter. Because of the nature and complexity of Justice
Stevens's numerous and varied opinions over the course of his
lengthy career, scholars find it difficult to characterize his
judicial philosophy and impact with simple labels. Yet in the realm
of criminal justice, close examination of his work reveals that he
earned a reputation and an enduring legacy as an exceptionally
important defender of constitutional rights.
