In the summer of 2013 the Central Intelligence Agency and the Clinton Presidential Library made an unprecedented declassification of more than 300 documents showing the role of intelligence in supporting American decision-making on Bosnia in the 1990s, and in particular the 1995 Dayton Peace Agreement, which brought an end to the fighting in Bosnia. The following spring, James Madison University hosted a conference in which scholars from all over the world assessed what the documents show about what is needed for the complex process of making peace. Aspects covered included military, political, diplomatic, and religious, among others. Timothy R. Walton's The Role of Intelligence in Ending the War in Bosnia in 1995 offers a collection of papers presented at the conference; several of the authors were participants in the events of the time.

Diodorus Siculus, Greek historian of Agyrium in Sicily, ca. 80-20 BCE, wrote forty books of world history, called "Library of History, " in three parts: mythical history of peoples, non-Greek and Greek, to the Trojan War; history to Alexander's death (323 BCE); history to 54 BCE. Of this we have complete Books I-V (Egyptians, Assyrians, Ethiopians, Greeks) and Books XI-XX (Greek history 480-302 BCE); and fragments of the rest. He was an uncritical compiler, but used good sources and reproduced them faithfully. He is valuable for details unrecorded elsewhere, and as evidence for works now lost, especially writings of Ephorus, Apollodorus, Agatharchides, Philistus, and Timaeus.

The Loeb Classical Library edition of Diodorus Siculus is in twelve volumes.

This book will be invaluable for those in the academic library who want to understand how best to serve students on the autism spectrum and how those students can contribute to the library. As a large number of students on the autism spectrum come of age and enter college, increased awareness of autism spectrum disorder is necessary among those who work in academic libraries so that they can respond to and meet the unique needs of these students. This book fills a scholarship gap while serving as a practical resource for working with the neurodivergent student population in academic libraries. McMullin and Walton explain issues that are likely to arise when interacting with students on the autism spectrum and offer practical solutions for handling them. They discuss how to work with neurodiverse students in different contexts, including at service points, in the classroom, as employees, and through outreach programs. They highlight possible concerns about the physical environment of the library and demonstrate ways that the library can be an especially positive place for students with ASD.

Modern methods of evangelism have propelled the church into an era of reaching people on their terms instead of continually throwing religion and doctrine in their path. The church has been compelled to reach outward in an unprecedented fashion. This outward focus was birthed in the mind of God and is the purpose that He came to the earth, the reason He started THE church. However, have man's attempts to further God's agenda become counter productive? Man's first priority is to God, preserving and building that relationship. Has a focus on evangelism robbed the church of the power, authority, and anointing that God equipped it with in order to reach the lost? Is Evangelism hindering the restoration of men's hearts, souls, and minds toward God by focusing elsewhere? Is evangelism killing revival? On the other end of the spectrum, others cling to traditional truths and doctrinal stances, refusing to embrace culture on its terms. This causes many to remain ineffective at serving their primary purpose. In this case, God remains locked inside church buildings, never able to move among the masses like He desires. Jesus remains a Savior of the saved, not being allowed to embrace sinners as He intended. Is revival hurting the churches ability to reach non-Christians because it is to internally focused? Is revival killing evangelism? Prisons With Stained Glass Windows explores the heart of God concerning the lost. It encourages every church, every believer to embrace evangelism and revival together. It explains the importance of navigating the marginal difference between compassion and compromise, urging the church to stop debating traditions at the expense of souls, while encouraging it to stop compromising the TRUTH to reach others. Lives will be changed by the principles of this book, as the church embraces God like never before while completing His mission of reaching a lost and dying world.

A family shattered. A kingdom in turmoil. Only one hope for salvation. Weeks after reaching the Fortress, Hayden, Darius, and the rest of the their band of misfits have remained in the City of Refuge, fearful for their lives from the wrath of Babylon after the death of Captain Abaddon Dearth. However, the protection of the city is short-lived, as Hayden is privately informed that Darius' life is in danger because of his ties to the throne of the Akumsite Empire. Hayden and his group must risk their lives to help their friend, bringing them on an adventure across the sea toward the ancient city of Jerusalem. With several teams of assassins pursuing them, and the world on the verge of entering a one world alliance behind the leadership of a dark sorcerer, Hayden unknowingly moves toward his destiny, an encounter with a baby who will change his life forever. In the real world, Hayden still barely clings to life. Detective Torben Mayes' investigation leads him to an international conspiracy involving key U.S. political figures. He discovers that Hayden's past is part of a series of events that could bring about the end of the world. Battling corrupt politicians, crooked cops, and a mysterious group of mercenaries intent on killing him, Torben unravels the truth one hair-raising revelation at a time. The Sin Cloud is an edge of your seat thriller sure to make you laugh, cry, and desire to change your world against the forces of darkness.

This paper examined how well does the integration of Military, Other Government Agencies (OGA), and International Organizations (IO) economic functions reduce the operational risks in achieving contingency campaign objectives. It investigated how economic development models and economic theory are incorporated into national strategy and military contingency operations. This analysis provided an understanding of how the functions performed by the Department of Defense, Department of State Coordinator for Reconstruction and Stabilization, United States Agency for International Development, Department of Commerce, Department of the Treasury, United Nations Development Program, World Bank, and International Monetary Fund shape the global economic environment and influence economic balance and development factors during each phase of contingency operations.

The U.S. Department of Defense predicts that ground forces of the future will wage tomorrow 19s wars by replacing large numbers of personnel and organic firepower for advanced technology and superior maneuverability. Those forces must be prepared to face an unconventional enemy who will operate in small, lethal units interspersed with the civilian population rather than facing coalition forces with massed formations. This scenario of blurred lines of battle and difficulty determining friend from foe resembles very closely what the U.S. military faced in Vietnam. This paper will address the successes and failures of United States airborne FACs, particularly in Vietnam, and whether combat lessons learned were passed from service to service or historically from conflict to conflict. The FAC mission has not significantly changed since the end of the Vietnam War, and a thorough study of operational and tactical lessons learned by those aircrew will significantly enhance today 19s FACs ability to find and destroy dispersed enemy forces in a wide array of environments.

Feminist liturgy began in the midst of a broad human quest for justice in the late twentieth century. The Civil Rights Movement and the Anti-Vietnam War movement added momentum for women's struggle for justice. Within this ferment, women addressed the limits placed on them in secular and religious institutions as well. Feminist liturgies developed as one of a number of attempts to discover and claim a more truthful telling and embodying of the stories that shape our religious consciousness. In Feminist Liturgy: A Matter of Justice, Walton offers a partial account" of feminist liturgies to encourage both discussion and action so that our liturgies will be "true" for all of us. Walton explains that liturgies typically described as "feminist" emerged in the late 1960s when women and some men realized that what they were experiencing in the liturgies not only wasn't *enough - but, in fact, wasn't *true. - a liturgical process that centers on an encounter - an engaged, embodied dialogue with God - cannot be true when females are left out of the dialogue. To make the liturgies more accurate, people joined together to discover how to use symbols, texts, and forms that expressed relationships with God more authentically. Walton examines four aspects of feminist liturgies: the historical context in which they developed, the tasks and principles that guide them, the possibilities they offer, and application to regular institutional liturgies. In examining these aspects, Walton responds to questions, clarifies hunches, alleviates doubts, and encourages more people to contribute to the development of feminist liturgies. Janet R. Walton is professor of worship at Union Theological Seminary in New York. She is the author of Art and Worship: A Vital Connection published by The Liturgical Press.

These diverse but unified descriptions of original ceremonies, liturgies, and rites offer suggestions for revitalizing traditional liturgical expressions in relation to women's experiences. The works collected here are drawn from the perspectives of Christian, Jewish, African-American, Native American, and Hispanic women.

Teachers, students, composers, performers, and other practitioners of sacred sound will appreciate this volume because, unlike any book currently available on sacred music, it treats the history, development, current practices, composition, and critical views of the liturgical music of both the Jewish and Christian traditions. Contributors trace Jewish music from its place in Hebrew Scriptures through the nineteenth-century Reform movement. Similar accounts of Christian music describe its growth up to the Protestant Reformation, as well as post-Reformation development. Other essays explore liturgical music in contemporary North America by analyzing it against the backdrop of the continuous social change that characterizes our era.
