Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made

Ever since Edwina Currie's salmonella, Britain has seemed cursed by major food safety scares, with E.coli and BSE particularly prominent. Amidst tabloid frenzy and recrimination, the public is dependent upon sober scientific risk assessment and rational evaluation of what went wrong. Hugh Pennington has been at the forefront of this as a scientist, expert witness and commentator, and this book is his accessible but rigorous account of these diseases and the events surrounding them. This is a disaster book for the general reader giving authoritative but non-technical accounts of BSE/variant CJD and E.coli O157 - what happened, what went wrong, the human interest, and the science - all in the context of disasters (like Piper Alpha, Aberfan, and rail crashes), history and politics.
This volume tells the story of the Churches of Christ, one of three
major denominations that emerged in the United States from a
religious movement led by Alexander Campbell and Barton W. Stone in
the early 19th century. Beginning as an effort to provide a basis
on which all Christians in America could unite, the leaders of the
movement relied on the faith and practice of the primitive church.
Ironically, this unity movement eventually divided precisely along
the lines of its original agenda, as the Churches of Christ rallied
around the restorationist banner while the Disciples of Christ
gathered around the ecumenical cause. Yet, having begun as a
countercultural sect, the Churches of Christ emerged in the 20th
century as a culture-affirming denomination. This brief history,
together with biographical sketches of major leaders, provides a
complete overview of the denomination in America. The book begins
with a concise yet detailed history of the denomination's
beginnings in the early 19th century. Tracing the influence of such
leaders as Stone and Campbell, the authors chronicle the triumphs
and conflicts of the denomination through the 19th century and its
reemergence and renewal in the 20th century. The biographical
dictionary of leaders in the Churches of Christ rounds out the
second half of the book, and a chronology of important events in
the history of the denomination offers a quick reference guide. A
detailed bibliographic essay concludes the book and points readers
to further readings about the Churches of Christ.
How to exit a relationship and get closure.
A collection which highlights "the range and richness of
scholarship on medieval warfare, military institutions, and
cultures of conflict that characterize the field". History 95
[2010] The journal's hallmark of a broad chronological, geographic,
and thematic coverage of the subject is underlined in this volume.
It begins with an examination of the brief but fascinating career
of an armed league of (mostly) commoners who fought to suppress
mercenary bands and to impose a reign of peace in southern France
in 1182-1184. This is followed by a thorough re-examination of
Matilda of Tuscany's defeat of Henry IV in 1090-97. Two pieces on
Hispanic topics - a substantial analysis of the remarkable military
career of Jaime I "the Conqueror" of Aragon (r. 1208-1276), and a
case study of the campaigns of a single Spanish king, Enrique II of
Castile (r. 1366-79), contributingto the active debate over the
role of open battle in medieval strategy - come next. Shorter
essays deal with the size of the Mongol armies that threatened
Europe in the mid-thirteenth century, and with a surprising
literary description, dating to 1210-1220, of a knight employing
the advanced surgical technique of thoracentesis. Further
contributions correct the common misunderstanding of the nature of
deeds of arms a outrance in the fifteenth century, and dissect the
relevance of the "infantry revolution" and "artillery revolution"
to the French successes at the end of the Hundred Years War. The
final note explores what etymology can reveal about the origins of
the trebuchet. Clifford Rogers is Professor of History, West Point
Military Academy; Kelly DeVries is Professor of History, Loyola
College, Maryland; John France is Professor of History at the
University of Swansea. Contributors: John France, Valerie Eads, Don

The dream of restoring primitive Christianity lies close to the
core of the identity of some American denominations---Churches of
Christ, Latter-day Saints, some Mennonites, and a variety of
Holiness and Pentecostal denominations. But how can a return to
ancient Christianity be sustained in a world increasingly driven by
modernization? What meaning might such a vision have in the modern
world? Twelve distinguished scholars explore these and related
questions in this provocative book.
This volume tells the story of the Churches of Christ, one of three
major denominations that emerged in the United States from a
religious movement led by Alexander Campbell and Barton W. Stone in
the early nineteenth century. Beginning as an effort to provide a
basis on which all Christians in America could unite, the leaders
of the movement relied on the faith and practice of the primitive
church. Ironically, this unity movement eventually divided
precisely along the lines of its original agenda, as the Churches
of Christ rallied around the restorationist banner while the
Disciples of Christ gathered around the ecumenical cause. Yet,
having begun as a countercultural sect, the Churches of Christ
emerged in the twentieth century as a culture-affirming
denomination. This brief history, together with biographical
sketches of major leaders, provides a complete overview of the
denomination in America. The book begins with a concise yet
detailed history of the denomination's beginnings in the early
nineteenth century. Tracing the influence of such leaders as Stone
and Campbell, the authors chronicle the triumphs and conflicts of
the denomination through the nineteenth century and its reemergence
and renewal in the twentieth century. The biographical dictionary
of leaders in the Churches of Christ rounds out the second half of
the book, and a chronology of important events in the history of
the denomination offers a quick reference guide. A detailed
bibliographic essay concludes the book and points readers to
further readings about the Churches of Christ.
Six myths lie at the heart of the American experience. Taken as
aspirational, four of those myths remind us of our noblest ideals,
challenging us to realize our nation's promise while galvanizing
the sense of hope and unity we need to reach our goals. Misused,
these myths allow for illusions of innocence that fly in the face
of white supremacy, the primal American myth that stands at the
heart of all the others.
