A sound understanding of the global carbon cycle requires an
appreciation of the various physico-chemical and biological
processes that determine the production, distribution, deposition
and diagenesis of organic matter in the natural environment. This
book is a comprehensive interdisciplinary synthesis of this
information, coupled with an organic facies approach based on data
from both microscopy and bulk organic geochemistry.
This is an anthology of the writings of Charles Wesley. Best known for his hymns, such as `Hark! the Herald Angels Sing', and `Jesus, Lover of My Soul', Charles was the younger brother of John Wesley and the co-founder of Methodism. Despite his importance in the history of Protestantism, there is no collection of his writings in print, and indeed, little work has been done specifically on Charles in the last two generations. Tyson presents a chronologically arranged selection of the journals, sermons, letters, hymns, and poems in such a way as to both outline Wesley's life and illuminate the leading elements of his thought.

This new collection of essays explores the subject of conversion in
the Wesleyan tradition from biblical, historical, theological, and
practical points of view. Written by leading Wesleyan scholars, the
essays reinvoke the notion of conversion as an identifiable
experience in the Christian's life. The contributors, drawn from a
diversity of backgrounds, rightly call for a much needed, and
inclusive, balance: process and instantaneousness, nurture and
regeneration, holy living and vibrant faith. The recovery of
conversion as an illuminating paradigm of saving grace promises
both renewal and revitalization in the Wesleyan tradition.
In "Fighting for Recognition," R. Tyson Smith enters the world of
independent professional wrestling, a community-based entertainment
staged in community centers, high school gyms, and other modest
venues. Like the big-name, televised pro wrestlers who originally
inspired them, indie wrestlers engage in choreographed fights in
character. Smith details the experiences, meanings, and motivations
of the young men who wrestle as "Lethal" or "Southern Bad Boy,"
despite receiving little to no pay and risking the possibility of
serious and sometimes permanent injury. Exploring intertwined
issues of gender, class, violence, and the body, he sheds new light
on the changing sources of identity in a postindustrial society
that increasingly features low wages, insecure employment, and
fragmented social support. Smith uncovers the tensions between
strength and vulnerability, pain and solidarity, and homophobia and
homoeroticism that play out both backstage and in the ring as the
wrestlers seek recognition from fellow performers and devoted fans.
Charles Wesley (1707?1788) was the cofounder of Methodism and the
author of more than 9,000 hymns and sacred poems, including such
favorites as ???Hark! the Herald Angels Sing, ??? ???O for a
Thousand Tongues to Sing, ??? and ???Christ the Lord Is Risen
Today.??? John Tyson here traces the remarkable life of this
influential man from cradle to grave, using rare ? including
previously unpublished ? hymns, letters, and journal materials.
As the younger brother of John Wesley, Charles was a vital
partner in the Methodist revival. While often standing in the
shadow of his more famous brother, Charles Wesley was arguably the
founder of the Oxford Holy Club, and he actually experienced
evangelical conversion three days prior to John. In Assist Me to
Proclaim Tyson explores, among other things, behind-the-scenes
questions about the brothers??? sometimes-stormy relationship.
Notwithstanding all his accomplishments as an evangelist and
itinerant preacher, Charles is chiefly remembered for his startling
facility at writing hymns that show God at work in almost every
instance of life. His remarkable legacy endures around the world,
as hundreds of Charles Wesley hymns are still sung in churches
everywhere today.
Assist Me to Proclaim draws a picture of a man whose fidelity to
both the Church of England and the original vision of Methodism
energized his remarkable abilities as a revivalist and hymn writer.
Readers also get a glimpse into Wesley??'s heart and mind through
the window of his hymn texts. This is a biography that any student
of church history or hymnody will welcome.
