"The Who's Who of West Bromwich Albion" looks at the varied
experiences of the Baggies through the club's lifeblood - the
players. Here are details of the careers of all the players,
including the number of appearances they made, the number of goals
they scored, the position they played in and their transfer
records. This comprehensive volume is a valuable addition to the
bookshelves of all West Brom fans. This comprehensive book consists
of detailed biographies of every player ever to take part in a
first-team game for the Baggies since the club entered the FA Cup
in November 1883. Author Tony Matthews has meticulously researched
the history of West Brom to uncover such details as when a player
joined the club and where from, how many appearances he made, which
positions he played in, how many goals he scored and where he went
to when he left the Hawthorns. International and FA Cup
performances are also recorded. Other staff of the club are not
forgotten, and within these pages are biographies of all the
managers, chairmen, directors, secretaries, trainers and coaches
that have worked behind the scenes to shape the history of this
proud club. The book is illustrated throughout with a fine
collection of pictures, many of them from the club's own archives.
The result is a book that is a must-have for every Baggies fan that
is sure to find its way onto the bookshelves of supporters young
and old.
An impressive array of activists, scholars, government officials,
journalists, and landmine victims themselves are gathered here to
tell the dramatic and inspiring story of the International Campaign
to Ban Landmines (ICBL). Organized in the early 1990s, the ICBL is
a network of more than one thousand nongovernmental organizations
worldwide, working for a global ban on landmines. It was an
important force behind the treaty to ban antipersonnel landmines
that was signed in Ottawa in 1997, and which led to its being
awarded the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize, along with its coordinator.
Heresy and Dissent in the Carolingian Empire recounts the history
of an exceptional ninth-century religious outlaw, Gottschalk of
Orbais. Frankish Christianity required obedience to ecclesiastical
superiors, voluntary participation in reform, and the belief that
salvation was possible for all baptized believers. Yet Gottschalk-a
mere priest-developed a controversial, Augustinian-based theology
of predestination, claiming that only divine election through grace
enabled eternal life. Gottschalk preached to Christians within the
Frankish empire-including bishops-and non-Christians beyond its
borders, scandalously demanding they confess his doctrine or be
revealed as wicked reprobates. Even after his condemnations for
heresy in the late 840s, Gottschalk continued his activities from
prison thanks to monks who smuggled his pamphlets to a subterranean
community of supporters. This study reconstructs the career of the
Carolingian Empire's foremost religious dissenter in order to
imagine that empire from the perspective of someone who worked to
subvert its most fundamental beliefs. Examining the surviving
evidence (including his own writings), Matthew Gillis analyzes
Gottschalk's literary and spiritual self-representations, his modes
of argument, his prophetic claims to martyrdom and miraculous
powers, and his shocking defiance to bishops as strategies for
influencing contemporaries in changing political circumstances. In
the larger history of medieval heresy and dissent, Gottschalk's
case reveals how the Carolingian Empire preserved order within the
church through coercive reform. The hierarchy compelled Christians
to accept correction of perceived sins and errors, while punishing
as sources of spiritual corruption those rare dissenters who
resisted its authority.
