Setters get their name from their ability to crouch low, or set, as
they point their bodies toward game. Learn about the different
setter breeds and what makes them great hunting companions and
loyal friends.
Liverpool Sectarianism: the rise and demise is a fascinating study
that considers the causes and effects of sectarianism in Liverpool,
how and why sectarian tensions subsided in the city and what
sectarianism was in a Liverpool context, as well as offering a
definition of the term 'sectarianism' itself. By positioning
Liverpool amongst other 'sectarian cities' in Britain, specifically
Belfast and Glasgow, this book considers the social, political,
theological, and ethnic chasm which gripped Liverpool for the best
part of two centuries, building upon what has already been written
in terms of the origins and development of sectarianism, but also
adds new dimensions through original research and interviews. In
doing, the author challenges some longstanding perceptions about
the nature of Liverpool sectarianism; most notably, in its denial
of the supposed association between football and sectarianism in
the city. The book then assesses why sectarianism, having been so
central to Liverpool life, began to fade, exploring several
explanations such as secularism, slum clearance, cultural change,
as well as displacement by other pastimes, notably football. In
analysing the validity of these explanations, key figures in the
Orange Order and the Catholic Church offer their viewpoints. Each
chapter examines a different dimension of Liverpool's divided past.
Topics which feature prominently in the book are Irish immigration,
Orangeism, religion, politics, racism, football, and the advance of
the city's contemporary character, specifically, the development
and significance of 'Scouse'. Ultimately, the book demonstrates how
and why two competing identities (Irish Catholic and Lancastrian
Protestant) developed into one overarching Scouse identity, which
transcended seemingly insurmountable sectarian fault lines.

In this book you will find all "true" poems. I call the poems in
this book "true" poems because anyone anywhere could relate to
them. Theses poems are also very raw and straightforward. There are
not too many that are confusing or hard to decipher like many poems
written in the past and written today.
The essays in Pragmatist and American Philosophical Perspectives on
Resilience offer a survey of the ways that "resilience" is becoming
a key concept for understanding our world, as well as providing
deeper insight about its specific actual and proposed applications.
From climate change preparedness to mental health, resilience has
recently emerged as a central focus of a variety of disciplines
grounded in theoretical approaches as disparate as environmental
philosophy, psychology, safety engineering, political science, and
urban planning. As an emerging concept with multiple theoretical
and practical meanings, "resilience" promises considerable
explanatory power. At the same time, current uses of the concept
can be diverse and at times inconsistent. The American
philosophical tradition provides tools uniquely suited for
clarifying, extending, and applying emerging concepts in more
effective and suggestive ways. From cultural figures such as
Benjamin Franklin and Wendell Berry to philosophers such as Jane
Addams and William James, this collection explores the usefulness
of theoretical work in American philosophy and pragmatism to
practices in ecology, community, rurality, and psychology.
