Quakers exist neither for themselves nor by themselves alone.
Therefore, they ought not to construct Quaker theologies but rather
quaker (verb) theology-to add their fingerprints to the larger
conversation. David Johns contributes to a Quaker way of thinking
theologically but also invites others to think through their
denominational identities into a more expansive and ecumenical
space. Placing contemporary Quaker thought in conversation with the
wider theological tradition, Johns shows that Quakers have
something important to contribute to the wider Christian family and
he demonstrates how other groups may enter this conversation as
well. Some themes explored may not spring immediately to mind as
'Quaker themes'-the saints, C.S. Lewis, sacraments, ritual, and
Shakespeare-but Johns argues these are precisely the kind of issues
that require Quaker fingerprints-that require quakering.

Focusing on stepwise development of concepts, pattern recognition
and integration with clinical practice, Reading EEGs: A Practical
Approach, 2nd Edition, is an easy-to-use, readable guide to
learning EEG for neurology residents, clinical neurophysiology
fellows, and electroneurodiagnostic students and technologists. The
emphasis on waveform recognition enables readers to interpret EEG
findings accurately and place them in clinical context. The new
landscape format accommodates larger high-quality images for
improved study, and the distinctive question-and-answer format is
highly effective for review at all levels of training. Presents
concepts of pattern recognition in a sequential, logical fashion
based on appearance rather than disease process. Covers simple,
intermediate, and advanced topics in EEG, epilepsy, and
neurophysiology. Includes several new chapters, including: The
pathophysiology of epileptiform activity covering the neuroscience
of seizure generation and the origins of pathological waveforms,
Separate chapters on subdural and stereotactic EEG recording,
Updated discussions of seizure semiology based on new terminology,
New chapters on epilepsy genetics and non-epileptic events.
Features expanded coverage of high density EEG, seizure detection
methods, magnetoencephalography and intraoperative monitoring.

International sporting events, including the Olympic Games and the
FIFA World Cup, have experienced profound growth in popularity and
significance since the mid-twentieth century. Sports often
facilitate diplomacy, revealing common interests across borders and
uniting groups of people who are otherwise divided by history,
ethnicity, or politics. In many countries, popular athletes have
become diplomatic envoys. Sport is an arena in which international
conflict and compromise find expression, yet the impact of sports
on foreign relations has not been widely studied by scholars. In
Diplomatic Games, a team of international scholars examines how the
nexus of sport and foreign relations has driven political and
cultural change since 1945, demonstrating how governments have used
athletic competition to maintain and strengthen alliances, promote
policies, and increase national prestige. The contributors
investigate topics such as China's use of sports to oppose Western
imperialism, the ways in which sports helped bring an end to
apartheid in South Africa, and the impact of the United States'
1980 Olympic boycott on U.S.-Soviet relations. Bringing together
innovative scholarship from around the globe, this groundbreaking
collection makes a compelling case for the use of sport as a lens
through which to view international relations.
This book explores how and why Vietnam loomed so large for Humphrey
as vice president from 1964 through the 1968 election campaign
against Richard Nixon. It assesses how Humphrey's loyalty to Lyndon
Johnson, who emerges as the villain of the story in many ways,
would negatively affect his political ambitions. And it engages the
disconnect between Humphrey's principles and the intricate politics
of his convoluted relationship with the president and his
unsuccessful presidential campaign. It is a complex and frustrating
narrative, the results of which would be tragic, not only for
Humphrey's presidential aspirations, but also for the war in
Southeast Asia and the future of the United States.
