feelings... Letting everyone know that I think more than most
people know or could ever expect. Thank you to everyone who has had
my back over the years. Best wishes to everyone!
This book deals with the forgotten history of the civil rights
movement. The American Left played a significant part in the
origins of that movement, whose history has traditionally been
focused on the later 1940's and early 1950's. This approach needs
serious re-thinking in light of what took place in the later 1930's
with the organization and activity of groups like the Southern
Negro Youth Congress that brought both African-American and white
workers and students together in the fight for economic and social
justice. Thanks to the post-World War II Red Scare such groups as
well as Left African-American leaders like Esther and James Jackson
have been overlooked or excised from an exciting, controversial,
and important story. With all due credit to the churches which
played such a pivotal role in finally winning Blacks their civil
rights, the early history involving the Left, workers of both
races, and the labor unions must be assimilated into America's
memory, for there were important continuities between what they did
and the later church-based struggle. This book was published as a
special issue of American Communist History.

Is it not generally believed that our town is a healthy place . . .
a place highly com mended on this score both for the sick andfor
the healthy? . . And then these Baths - the so-called 'artery' of
the town, or the 'nerve centre' . . . Do you know what they are in
reality, these great and splendid and glorious Baths that have cost
so much money? . . A most serious danger to health! All that filth
up in Melledal, where there's such an awful stench - it's all
seeping into the pipes that lead to the pump-room! Henrik Ibsen, An
Enemy of the People, 1882 Henrik Ibsen gave the 'truth about
mineral water' more than 100 years ago in An Enemy of the People.
His examples came not from the decadent bathing spas of Bohemia or
Victorian Britain, but from the very edge of polite society,
subarctic Norway! His masterpiece illustrates the central role that
groundwaters and, in particular, mineral waters have played in the
history of humanity: their economic importance for towns, their
magnetism for pilgrims searching for cures, the political
intrigues, the arguments over purported beneficent or maleficent
health effects and, finally, their contami nation by anthropogenic
activity, in Ibsen's case by wastes from a tannery. This book
addresses the occurrence, properties and uses of mineral and
thermal groundwaters. The use of these resources for heating,
personal hygiene, curative and recreational purposes is deeply
integrated in the history of civilization.
Herbert Hoover's "magnum opus"--at last published nearly fifty
years after its completion--offers a revisionist reexamination of
World War II and its cold war aftermath and a sweeping indictment
of the "lost statesmanship" of Franklin Roosevelt. Hoover offers
his frank evaluation of Roosevelt's foreign policies before Pearl
Harbor and policies during the war, as well as an examination of
the war's consequences, including the expansion of the Soviet
empire at war's end and the eruption of the cold war against the
Communists.
A compelling and urgent case for Jesus Christ as the one and only
way to salvation. Today, professing that Jesus Christ is the only
way to approach God and receive his salvation may seem to some like
a form of intolerance or arrogance. A growing number of Christian
intellectuals, pastors, and leaders are favoring a more inclusive
view of a person's path to salvation. But what does this mean in
practice? Are there biblical or theological means of defending
inclusivism or pluralism, or do these views simply pay tribute to
modern ethical standards? The fact is that unity among Christians
on this fundamental issue has disappeared. Many people of faith
choose among three fundamentally different answers to the question,
"Is Jesus the only Savior?" Stated succinctly, these answers are:
No! (Pluralism) Yes, but... (Inclusivism) Yes, period!
(Exclusivism) In Is Jesus the Only Savior?, Ronald Nash explores
the divergent views of pluralism and inclusivism in depth, laying
out the reasoning, history, and major supporters behind them; and
making a resounding case for exclusivism based on firm theological
standards. Christians of all walks of life will find their faith in
Christ affirmed and strengthened by this vital treatise, written in
accessible terms and a readable style.
American Exceptionalism provokes intense debates culturally,
economically, politically, and socially. This collection, edited by
Charles W. Dunn of Regent University's Robertson School of
Government, brings together analysis of the idea's origins, history
and future. Contributors include: Hadley Arkes, Michael Barone,
James W. Ceasar, Charles W. Dunn, Daniel L. Dreisbach, T. David
Gordon, Steven F. Hayward, Hugh Heclo, Marvin J. Folkertsma,
William Kristol, and George H. Nash. While many now argue against
the policies and ideology of American Exceptionalism as antiquated
and expired, the authors collected here make the bold claim that a
closer reading of our own history reveals that there is still an
exceptional aspect of American thought, identity and government
worth advancing and protecting. It will be the challenge of the
coming American generations to both refine and examine what we mean
when we call America "exceptional," and this book provides readers
a first step towards a necessary understanding of the exceptional
purpose, progress and promise of the United States of America.
Willmoore Kendall: Maverick of American Conservatives provides the
first book-length study of a man long regarded as a founding father
of American intellectual conservatism. This edited collection
brings together a diverse range of perspectives on Kendall's life
and work and places the post-World War II political theorist in the
context of modern American conservatism. Far from providing a
monolithic view of Kendall's thought, the contributions illuminate
an unconventional, often contradictory, thinker. The book traces
the development of Kendall's body of political thought from his
early years in Oxford, through his work on John Locke, to the later
speculation that produced The Basic Symbols of the American
Political Tradition , and analyzes the influence of Leo Strauss on
his later work. Including, for the first time in print, the
complete correspondence between Kendall and Strauss that
significantly shaped Kendall's later work, Willmoore Kendall is a
vital contribution to American intellectual history.

"The Concept of God is an excellent treatment of an increasingly
critical issue in philosophical theology. With characteristic
clarity and forthrightness, Dr. Nash judiciously evaluates
competing conceptions of deity, and in the end recommends an
understanding of God that is both theologically sound and
philosophically acceptable." -Michael L. Peterson, Ph. D. "Nash's
book brings together for the general reader the intense and
wide-ranging discussions now taking place among philosophers on the
attributes of God. Without being simplistic, he admirably succeeds
in making these discussions accessible to those who are not
specialists in philosophy. It's a book that needed to be written, a
fine contribution." -Nicholas Wolterstorff "The strength of The
Concept of God is in its excellent balance of technical issues and
lucid explanation. It makes for illuminating reading both for the
beginning student and for the professional philosopher...Because of
its clear explanations, numerous examples, brevity and breadth, the
book will make an excellent component of introductory courses in
philosophy." -V. James Mannoia, Jr. "This book is relevant,
interesting, and fresh in its treatment...It will be an important
supplemental text to theology classes and philosophy of religion
classes." -Alan Johnson "The suitability of Nash's book as a text
for philosophy of religion is obvious. It is also useful for
apologetics because of its concern to vindicate and validate the
Christian doctrine of God against attacks on its coherence. In
addition, it will be a most welcome text for the section of
theology proper that deals with God's attributes." -Cornelius
Plantinga, Jr.
What do the terms 'freedom' and 'justice' mean? What is the State?
Is the existence of the State justified? What are the proper limits
of the power of the State? What about the intervention of the State
in economic matters that gives rise to the disputes between
advocates of capitalism, socialism, and the welfare state? These
are some of the broader questions addressed in this book.
Christians should not have an inferiority complex regarding the
academic or intellectual integrity of their faith and should
understand that Christian faith is also a rational faith. Faith and
Reason has two major purposes. First, it is designed to introduce
readers to the more important questions that link philosophy and
religion. It explores philosophical questions. It is also written
for pastors, Christian workers, and educated laypeople who want to
know how to defend the Christian faith. The book includes
discussion questions.
This world is a battlefield in the arena of ideas. The prize is the
heart and mind of humankind. In this book, Ronald Nash outlines the
Christian way of looking at God, self, and the world. He holds that
worldview up against the tests of reason, logic, and experience,
particularly discussing the problems of evil and the alleged
"nonsense" of the historic Christian doctrines and of Jesus'
incarnation and resurrection. He finds the Christian worldview
sound and urges Christians to equip themselves intellectually to
defend the faith on that battlefield. He particularly hits the
attractions to our generation of naturalism and the New Age
movement, pointing out their weaknesses and pitfalls as well as
those of older worldviews. "Christian theism," he writes, "is a
system that commends itself to the whole person"; but he stresses
that a great difference exists between "belief that" and "belief
in."
Lichens are symbiotic organisms in which fungi and algae and/or
cyanobacteria form an intimate biological union. This diverse group
is found in almost all terrestrial habitats from the tropics to
polar regions. In this second edition, four completely new chapters
cover recent developments in the study of these fascinating
organisms, including lichen genetics and sexual reproduction,
stress physiology and symbiosis, and the carbon economy and
environmental role of lichens. The whole text has been fully
updated, with chapters covering anatomical, morphological and
developmental aspects; the contribution of the unique secondary
metabolites produced by lichens to medicine and the pharmaceutical
industry; patterns of lichen photosynthesis and respiration in
relation to different environmental conditions; the role of lichens
in nitrogen fixation and mineral cycling; and the use of lichens as
indicators of air pollution. This is a valuable reference for both
students and researchers interested in lichenology.

As human populations escalate and urbanization increases at
alarming rates, the need for clean water is creating greater
pressures than ever before. Groundwater quality monitoring and
testing is of paramount importance both in the developed and
developing world. This book presents a series of papers
illustrating the varied nature of current research into groundwater
quality.
"Is my baby with God now?" What does the Bible say to such a
question? What hope does it offer parents grieving the loss of a
precious child? The answers are merciful. However, the implications
are not simple. Is God a Universalist? Is there salvation after
death? What is the role of infant baptism? And what about the
doctrine of depravity? If a baby is born into sin, then what? What
happens to the unborn -- to the miscarried and the aborted? For
pastors looking for biblical grounds to offer comfort and
assurance, and for parents seeking solace for their grief, When a
Baby Dies offers insights that are rich in hope and grounded
solidly in Scripture.
Voted one of Christianity Today's Books of the Year What is the
fate of those who die never hearing the gospel? Do Hindus, Jews,
agnostics and others who do not profess faith in Christ really
suffer damnation after death? These and similar questions have long
been contemplated by people from every religious persuasion and
every walk of life. But in a culture of increasing diversity and
growing doubt in the existence of "objective truth," it seems ever
more pressing. In this Spectrum Multiview volume three scholars
present the span of evangelical conviction on the destiny of the
unevangelized. Ronald Nash argues the restrictivist position, that
receptive knowledge of Jesus Christ in this life is necessary to
salvation. Gabriel Fackre advocates divine perseverance, with the
expectation that those who die unevangelized receive an opportunity
for salvation after death. And John Sanders sets forth the
inclusivist case-asserting that though God saves people only
through the work of Jesus Christ, some may be saved even if they do
not know about Christ. As each scholar presents his own case and
responds to strengths and weaknesses of differing positions,
readers are treated to a lively and informative debate. What About
Those Who Have Never Heard? is a truly helpful book on one of
today's-and every day's-most crucial questions. Spectrum Multiview
Books offer a range of viewpoints on contested topics within
Christianity, giving contributors the opportunity to present their
position and also respond to others in this dynamic publishing
format.
