Strong Sons: The Tunnel Journey will simplify the process for young
men becoming the strong sons that God intends them to be, as well
as redeem those who have fallen short of God's purpose for
salvation. The foundation of this book is scripturally based and
will shape our young men for a better future. Since Adam, our
society has progressively become more liberated and disapproving of
sanctified living. The few who choose to take a stand for God are
labeled as "weird" or "odd" and it is even more challenging if you
are a young man who has abstained from sexual gratification until
marital bonds are sewed. Regrettably, virginity has taken on a
whole different interpretation yet paradoxically, it is a man's
greatest gift to his wife. God expects chastity so when young men
become change agents for their peers, for society, and for God, it
is pleasing. Ultimately, young men driven by purpose and moral
passion will optimize their social and spiritual goals but they
will also subdue the unseemly impulses that have come to dominate
the human psyche. Finding purpose and associating with like-minded
persons, will be powerful factors in reinforcing desirable conduct
and negating the risk of unhealthy living standards. The role of
men in society is huge. Not only are they the backbone of society
or breadwinners, but they are leaders who must lead with conviction
and purpose. They must stand when no one else will. What defines
you? What are you known as? If you asked your friend or a church
member to describe your character what would they say? Would you
walk away feeling melancholic or gleeful? No logical person would
deny that character counts and how we are perceived through other
people's eyes are important. That's all good and fine but the real
question one must ask is "What does God think of me?"

What is the role of human agency in Friedrich Hayek's thought? This
volume situates Hayek's writing as it relates to economic
organization and activity, particularly to assess what role Hayek
assigns to leaders in determining economic progress. Peart and Levy
explore the scope for policy makers leading the economy through
crisis, how much agency policy makers should assume, and the
leadership role that economists should legitimately play in the
development and implementation of new economic policy.Hayek held
that economists should take center stage in terms of advocating
economic policy but his was a quite different sort of advocacy. He
disagreed with some of his contemporaries on what economic policies
were best suited to promote economic expansion and stability,
seeing economic aggregation as fraught with methodological
difficulties and, therefore, that no scientist or policy maker had
the wherewithal to direct market transactions. The volume examines
the nature of these disagreements along with a number of other
themes that characterize Hayek's lifelong work.
William Stanley Jevons occupies a pivotal position in the history
of economic thought, spanning the transition from classical to
neo-classical economics and playing a key role in the Marginal
Revolution.
The breadth of Jevons's work is examined here which:
* includes a detailed consideration of a wide range of his
work-policy, theoretical, methodological, applied and
empirical
* relies on textual exegis
* takes account of a wide range of secondary sources
A new approach to the 'Jevonian revolution' is adopted, which
emphasizes the link between poverty and economics and focuses on
the nature and meaning of rationality in Jevonian economics.
John S. Peart-Binns brings us a fresh and distinctive view of
Herbert Hensley Henson, the eighty-sixth Bishop of Durham, who is
shown here to have formed his own character and forged his own way
amidst the chaos of the shifting and unpopular labour laws, two
World Wars, the abdication crisis of 1936 and the misconceptions of
those around him. Hensley Henson was an outspoken controversialist
who never feared to assert his opinion. Peart-Binns goes beyond the
traditional notions of biography - Hensley Henson's complex
childhood; education at Oxford; his ministry at Ilford and Barking,
Canon of Westminster and Bishop of Durham - and withal provides a
rich psychological insight into the nature of the indefatigable and
quick-witted though sharp-tongued figure. This perspective
illuminates the Bishop's often overlooked theological thoughts and
political views. The furore surrounding his appointment as Bishop
of Hereford is analysed and his volte face from being a solid
bulwark of the Establishment to being a trenchant advocate of
Disestablishment is evaluated. Hensley Henson emerges clearly as
differing from our familiar image of him, which can be found in
novels, newspapers and magazines of the time, and in his own
autobiography. Peart-Binns provides a permanent and deserved niche
for him in the history of the Church. 'Herbert Hensley Henson: A
Biography' examines the life and times of this formidable and
astute character of the twentieth century. This work will inform
those interested in the twentieth century, and delight any who are
intrigued by Hensley Henson's indomitable spirit. John S.
Peart-Binns was born and brought up in Bradford and now lives with
his wife Annis in the South Pennines. He has written twenty
biographies of Anglican bishops. His research has brought him a
large collection of material relating to over 400 bishops (past and
present) of the Church of England and of the other churches of the
Anglican Communion, which now forms The Peart-Binns Episcopal
Biography Archive at the University of Bradford. 'This study of
Hensley Henson is a splendid addition to the works of one who must
surely be considered the doyen of biographers of modern Anglican
leaders. Balanced and sensitive to subtlety in the complexities of
Henson's changing opinions, Peart-Binns gives an honest assessment
of a truly independent mind.' Edward Norman former Canon Chancellor
of York Minister and Emeritus Fellow of Peterhouse, Cambridge
University.
Best known for reviving the tradition of classical liberalism, F.
A. Hayek was also a prominent scholar of the philosopher John
Stuart Mill. One of his greatest undertakings was a collection of
Mill’s extensive correspondence with his longstanding friend and
later companion and wife, Harriet Taylor-Mill. Hayek first
published the Mill-Taylor correspondence in 1951, and his edition
soon became required reading for any study of the
nineteenth-century foundations of liberalism. This latest addition
to the Collected Works of F. A. Hayek series showcases the
fascinating intersections between two of the most prominent
thinkers from two successive centuries. Hayek situates Mill within
the complex social and intellectual milieu of nineteenth-century
Europe—as well as within twentieth-century debates on socialism
and planning—and uncovers the influence of Taylor-Mill on
Mill’s political economy. The volume features the Mill-Taylor
correspondence and brings together for the first time Hayek’s
related writings, which were widely credited with beginning a new
era of Mill scholarship.
Healthcare Ethics, Law and Professionalism: Essays on the Works of
Alastair V. Campbell features 15 original essays on bioethics, and
healthcare ethics specifically. The volume is in honour of
Professor Alastair V. Campbell, who was the founding editor of the
internationally renowned Journal of Medical Ethics, and the
founding director of three internationally leading centres in
bioethics, in Otago, New Zealand, Bristol, UK, and Singapore.
Campbell was trained in theology and philosophy and throughout his
career worked with colleagues from various disciplines, including
law and various branches of healthcare. The diversity of topics and
depth of contributors' insights reflect the breadth and impact of
Campbell's philosophical work and policy contributions to
healthcare ethics. Throughout his long academic career, Campbell's
emphasis on healthcare ethics being practice-oriented, yet driven
by critical reflection, has shaped the field in vital ways. The
chapters are authored by leading scholars in healthcare ethics and
law. Directly engaging with Campbell's work and influence, the
essays discuss essential questions in healthcare ethics relating to
its methodology and teaching, its intersection with law and policy,
medical professionalism, religion, and its translation in different
cultural settings. Chapters also grapple with specific enduring
topics, such as the doctor-patient relationship, justice in health
and biomedical research, and treatment of the human body and the
dead.
Offers a treatment of modern applications of modelling and
simulation in crop, livestock, forage/livestock systems, and field
operations. The book discusses methodologies from linear
programming and neutral networks, to expert or decision support
systems, as well as featuring models, such as SOYGRO, CROPGRO and
GOSSYM/COMAX. It includes coverage on evaporation and
evapotranspiration, the theory of simulation based on biological
processes, and deficit irrigation scheduling.
"Sara! You must come out! You're wanted downstairs right away,"
Lucie hissed through the keyhole on the locked bedroom door.
"Stepmama is furious and Father has sent word that he's coming home
early from the Exchange. She says he's in a rage over what you've
done!" "I haven't done anything! It's not my fault if those two
hotheads decide to fight a duel!" came her sister's indignant voice
from the other side of the door. "Oh, Sara, please!" Lucie pleaded.
"Father will be here any minute. You must do as you're told!" She
shook her head and sighed ruefully, "You're stubborn, Sara." "No,"
denied Sara. "I am strong." Thus begins the bittersweet story of
beautiful Sara Leighton, the headstrong heroine of Folly's Bride,
the fourth in the Brides of Montclair series. As with her
predecessors, happiness does not come painlessly to this newest
bride of Montclair. Her unusual beauty and her independent spirit
places her on a collision course with romance, frustration,
disappointment, and finally, true love.

The orthodox view of economic policy holds that public deliberation
sets the goals or ends, and then experts select the means to
implement these goals. This assumes that experts are no more than
trustworthy servants of the public interest. David M. Levy and
Sandra J. Peart examine the historical record to consider cases in
which experts were trusted with disastrous results, such as
eugenics, the regulatory use of security ratings, and central
economic planning. This history suggests that experts have not only
the public interest but also their own interests to consider. The
authors then recover and extend an alternative view of economic
policy that subjects experts' proposals to further discussion,
resulting in transparency and ensuring that the public obtains the
best insights of experts in economics while avoiding pitfalls such
as expert bias.
The first book-length study of lobbying prior to the Civil War.
Since the 2008 global economic crisis, historians have embraced the
challenge of making visible the invisible hand of the market. This
renewed interest in the politics of political economy makes it all
the more timely to remind ourselves that debates over free trade
and protection were just as controversial in the early United
States as they have once again become, and that lobbying, then as
now, played an important part in Lincoln's government "of the
people, by the people, for the people." In Lobbyists and the Making
of US Tariff Policy, 18161861, Daniel Peart reveals how active
lobbyists were in Washington throughout the antebellum era. He
describes how they involved themselves at every stage of the making
of tariff policy, from setting the congressional agenda, through
the writing of legislation in committee, to the final vote.
Considering policymaking as a process, Peart focuses on the
importance of rules and timing, the critical roles played by
individual lawmakers and lobbyists, and the high degree of
uncertainty that characterized this formative period in American
political development. The debate about tariff policy, Peart
explains, is an unbroken thread that runs throughout the pre-Civil
War era, connecting disparate individuals and events and shaping
the development of the United States in myriad ways. Duties levied
on imports provided the federal government with the major part of
its revenue from the ratification of the Constitution to the close
of the nineteenth century. More controversially, they also offered
protection to domestic producers against foreign competition, at
the expense of increased costs for consumers and the risk of
retaliation from international trade partners. Ultimately, this
book uses the tariff issue to illustrate the critical role that
lobbying played within the antebellum policymaking process.
In this sequel to Valiant Bride, Lorabeth Whitaker flees England
and an undesirable marriage engagement. Ransomed Bride is a
historical romance that brings to life a young couple's choice
between duty and love.

In this discipline-defining volume, some of the leading
international scholars in the history of economic thought
re-examine the concepts of "classical economics" and the "canon",
illuminating the roots of the contemporary discipline, and the
shape and form of its evolution. The investigation addresses three
related issues. Firstly, the contributors attempt to determine
which ideas are vital to classical economics, and whether these
ideas distinguish classical economics from other approaches to
economic questions. Secondly, the essays address the development of
"classical economics" over time through sociological and
intellectual processes, and attempt to determine why some writers
and works are elevated to the "canon", while others are not.
Thirdly, some contributions examine the intellectual consequences
of this inevitable process of canonization. The book includes
examinations of the work of major economists such as Marx, Smith,
Ricardo, Bentham, Malthus, Keynes and Mill. Offering new
perspectives on the way an intellectual discipine is constructed,
this book should be of essential interest to all scholars of the
history of economic thought.
