Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Evolved Christianity represents something of a middle ground
between the "nothing should be retained" and "everything should be
retained" positions typically held by those researching the
religion. There is a need for a new and improved form of
Christianity based on careful consideration of the results of
several kinds of research and the application of critical thinking
to both apologetic and revisionist arguments that have been
advanced over many years. Implications of an Evolved Christianity
in the Modern World is a cutting-edge research publication that
examines the essence of Christianity and its role in the world as
well as a comprehensive evaluation of traditional Christian
principles in the context of modern society. The book uses a
critical thinking and research approach to decide which of the core
principles of the traditional Christian paradigm should be
retained, which should be revised, and which should be eliminated,
thus resulting in the Evolved Christian paradigm. The book then
details a few of the implications that embracing such a paradigm
could entail. Featuring a wide range of topics such as biblical
studies, evolutionary theory, and psychology, this book is ideal
for researchers, religious leaders, sociologists, theologians,
academicians, policymakers, and students.

Punishing Corporate Crime: Legal Penalties for Criminal and
Regulatory Violations provides a practical discussion of criminal
punishment trends directed at the corporate entity. Corporate
punishment, for the most part, has traditionally occurred either in
the form of a fine or, in the extreme, a heavy sanction that
terminates the business. This timely book analyzes the historical
and statutory bases of corporate punishment and reviews the latest
remedies now employed by the government, including receivership and
monitoring, disgorgement of profits, restitution, integrity
agreements, and disbarment from regulated fields. Punishing
Corporate Crime explores the new and evolving area of corporate
criminal punishment that has emerged in the post- Enron era. This
book offers key advice in addressing the new and evolving
punishments that face corporations, as well as a consideration of
preventative programs.

In the four provinces of Ireland there are thirty-two counties.
Each county and its people have their own traditions, beliefs and
folklore - and each one is also inhabited by the Sidhe: an ancient
and magical race. Some believe they are descended from fallen
angels, whilst others say they are the progeny of Celtic deities.
They go by many names: the good folk, the wee folk, the gentle
people and the fey, but are most commonly known as 'the fairies'.
These are not the whimsical fairies of Victorian and Edwardian
picture books. They are feared and revered in equal measure, and
even in the twenty-first century are spoken of in hushed tones. The
fairies are always listening. Storyteller Steve Lally and his wife
singer-songwriter Paula Flynn Lally have compiled this magnificent
collection of magical fairy stories from every county in Ireland.
Filled with unique illustrations that bring these tales to life,
Irish Gothic Fairy Stories will both enthral and terrify readers
for generations to come.
In 1861, Colonel Grenville Dodge organized the Fourth Iowa
Volunteer Infantry Regiment and led them off to war. They had few
uniforms or weapons and were more of a mob than a military unit,
but Dodge shaped them into a fighting force that won honors on the
battlefield and gained respect as one of the best regiments in the
Union Army. Promoted to the rank of Major-General, Dodge became one
of the youngest divisional, corps and departmental commanders in
the Army. A superb field general, he also organized a network of
more than 100 spies to gather military intelligence and built
railroads to supply the troops in the Western Theater. This book
covers Dodge's Civil War career and the history of the Fourth Iowa,
who fought at Pea Ridge, Vicksburg, Chattanooga and Atlanta.
Born on November 10, 1810, John Todd grew up in the rural area
surrounding Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The most formative experience
of his life was attending college in Oberlin, Ohio. A one-of-a-kind
educational institution, Oberlin College was fully integrated -
allowing men and women, black and white, to attend the same classes
- at a time when the entire country was in a racial upheaval. As a
result, Oberlin turned out a group of men and women almost devoid
of racial prejudice. It was from this pool of graduates that the
many of the founders of Tabor, Iowa, were drawn. They were
determined to found an Oberlin-like college in the westernmost
territory of the United States, so it was no surprise that this
group quickly became active in the Underground Railroad and other
abolitionist activities. This biography details the life of the
Reverend John Todd and presents the story of the Underground
Railroad Station in Tabor. With the life of Todd as a common
thread, the book explores how the station began and the noble
purposes behind its birth. From the beginning of Todd's career at
Oberlin College, the book follows him from an unsatisfying first
pastorate to the site of his life's work in Tabor, where he would
provide spiritual guidance and leadership, along with friend George
Gaston, for the settlement. With a singleness of purpose spurred on
by Todd and Gaston, the residents of Tabor joined in the
abolitionist movement through participation not only in the
Underground Railroad but in the Jim Lane Trail and Kansas Free
State Movement as well. Todd's service in the Union Army and
jubilation with the Federal victory are also discussed. Finally,
the work covers the postwar construction of the Tabor Literary
Institute, which was beset by financial and administrative
difficulties from the beginning. An appendix contains various
letters and documents pertaining to the Todd family, the
Underground Railroad and other abolitionist activities.
Science fiction is a field of literature that has great interest
and great controversy among its writers and critics. This book
examines the roots, history, development, current status, and
future directions of the field through articles contributed by
well-respected science fiction writers, teachers, and critics. The
articles 'speculate' on what is science fiction, is science fiction
serious literature, which writers are considered good science
fiction writers, and where the genre of science fiction is headed
with 21st-century writers. Contributors include Brian W. Aldiss,
Kathryn Cramer, Samuel R. Delany, David G. Hartwell, Ursula K. Le
Guin, Barry N. Malzberg, Darko Suvin, Michael Swanwick, and many
other outstanding authors. Examining all genres and subgenres of
science fiction writing, this book provides differing viewpoints on
science fiction, making it a great basis for dynamic classroom
discussions.
Despite the impact local school board members have on public
education, little has been written about them and the experiences
and motivations they bring to the board table, particularly from a
board member's perspective. Report Card: The Weekly Education of an
American School Board Member fills that void. Authored by James
Patrick Hussey, it includes 100 essays ranging from surprisingly
interesting treatises on budgets and bond levies to impassioned
articles underscoring the role of public education in a free
society. Each essay serves as a catalyst for classroom discussions
or independent writing assignments that engage students
intellectually and often emotionally, in the topic it explores.
Hussey uses his extensive experiences in education and journalism
to create a work that is intellectually rigorous, but accessible to
a wide audience. Unlike some books exploring public policy, Report
Card rarely shouts at its readers. Instead, Hussey writes with the
humility of someone required to live in his community after the
newspaper columns from which these essays are adapted, were
published. It will be of special interest to persons with current
or anticipated roles in America's public schools, particularly
administrators, teachers, education students, and elected
officials. This book will also make an excellent supplemental text
for teacher preparation or educational leadership classes, from
introductory courses to doctoral seminars.
X Flight was designated the task of giving close air support to the
desert army formed and commanded by Lawrence of Arabia. It flew
from advanced desert landing grounds on reconnaissance, liaison,
bombing and ground attack missions. The existence and deeds of the
flight were kept secret, so much so that even the RFC Paymaster was
unaware of their existence. George Hynes was an aircraft mechanic
and became responsible for keeping the flights somewhat elderly
aircraft airworthy whilst working in the most difficult desert
conditions on hastily constructed landing strips and living and
working under canvas in temperatures that froze at night and rose
to 100 degrees plus at noon. His diary gives a clear insight into
the conditions endured, the actions that took place and the many
almost insurmountable problems that occurred as they followed
Lawrences steady advance against the numerically superior Turkish
Army and Air Force. George personally encountered Lawrence on many
occasions and maintained contact with him after the war. The diary
is supported with the Flights weekly operational records,
perspectives of the battle scenarios and other background
