In Union Made, Heath W. Carter advances a bold new interpretation
of the origins of American Social Christianity. While historians
have often attributed the rise of the Social Gospel to middle-class
ministers, seminary professors, and social reformers, this book
places working people at the very center of the story. The major
characters-blacksmiths, glove makers, teamsters, printers, and the
like-have been mostly forgotten, but as Carter convincingly argues,
their collective contribution to American Social Christianity was
no less significant than that of Walter Rauschenbusch or Jane
Addams. Leading readers into the thick of late-19th-century
Chicago's tumultuous history, Carter shows that countless
working-class believers participated in the heated debates over the
implications of Christianity for industrializing society, often
with as much fervor as they did in other contests over wages and
the length of the workday. Throughout the Gilded Age the city's
trade unionists, socialists, and anarchists advanced theological
critiques of laissez faire capitalism and protested "scab
ministers" who cozied up to the business elite. Their criticisms
compounded church leaders' anxieties about losing the poor, such
that by the turn-of-the-century many leading Christians were
arguing that the only way to salvage hopes of a Christian America
was for the churches to soften their position on "the labor
question." As denomination after denomination did just that, it
became apparent that the Social Gospel was, indeed, ascendant-from
below.

The poignant true story of a Jewish family who hid in an attic for
two years before they were captured by the Nazis. The film follows
the life of celebrated diarist Anne Frank (Millie Perkins), as
remembered in hindsight by her father Otto (Joseph Schildkraut).
Shelley Winters won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, and the
film also garnered Oscars for Best Black and White Cinematography
and Best Art Direction, in addition to receiving a further five
nominations.
For centuries, philosophers have been puzzled by the fact that
people often respect moral obligations as a matter of principle,
setting aside considerations of self-interest. In more recent
years, social scientists have been puzzled by the more general
phenomenon of rule-following, the fact that people often abide by
social norms even when doing so produces undesirable consequences.
Experimental game theorists have demonstrated conclusively that the
old-fashioned picture of "economic man," constantly reoptimizing in
order to maximize utility in all circumstances, cannot provide
adequate foundations for a general theory of rational action. The
dominant response, however, has been a slide toward irrationalism.
If people are ignoring the consequences of their actions, it is
claimed, it must be because they are making some sort of a mistake.
In Following the Rules, Joseph Heath attempts to reverse this
trend, by showing how rule-following can be understood as an
essential element of rational action. The first step involves
showing how rational choice theory can be modified to incorporate
deontic constraint as a feature of rational deliberation. The
second involves disarming the suspicion that there is something
mysterious or irrational about the psychological states underlying
rule-following. According to Heath, human rationality is a
by-product of the so-called "language upgrade" that we receive as a
consequence of the development of specific social practices. As a
result, certain constitutive features of our social
environment-such as the rule-governed structure of social
life-migrate inwards, and become constitutive features of our
psychological faculties. This in turn explains why there is an
indissoluble bond between practical rationality and deontic
constraint. In the end, what Heath offers is a naturalistic,
evolutionary argument in favor of the traditional Kantian view that
there is an internal connection between being a rational agent and
feeling the force of one's moral obligations.
World Wonders is a three-level series for 9-11 year olds that
capitalises on National Geographic photography and facts via
reading texts and DVD clips. It also features an exciting adventure
cartoon story for Levels 1 & 2. The course is structured around
the Student's Books that contain twelve eight-page core units plus
six review units.
Ever wondered how to make a garden attractive in December? Or what
to do with that corner by the dustbin? Answers to these questions
can be found in this compact and charming book of tips for the
green-fingered, accompanied by Heath Robinson's highly inventive
and humorous cartoons. First published in 1938, the book gives an
insight into gardening trends on the eve of the Second World War
while also addressing common concerns faced by gardeners. It
features many typically elaborate contraptions such as the Combined
Telescopic Spaderake for digging and raking at the same time, the
Inebriate Roller for making wobbly garden paths and the Osoeezi
Slugsticker. While some are patently ridiculous - a lawn is
de-thistled and resown with the help of a barrel of grass seed
strapped onto a small donkey - others are before their time, such
as a special pump that can divert your bathwater into your garden
hose, a contraption that is not wildly dissimilar to gadgets on the
market today. Finally, the growing of vegetables inspires some sage
advice: 'with the right kind of upbringing, a marrow will attain
astonishing dimensions, and can be used for boasting purposes.'
Poking gentle fun at a British obsession with a detailed
illustration on almost every page, this book will delight both
aspiring and experienced gardeners alike.
