With their messages of doom and judgment, the Minor Prophets have
not been popular subjects in the history of biblical
interpretation. In this exegetical and expository commentary, noted
scholars remedy this neglect by offering an authoritative,
evangelical treatment on the prophets. This volume, the third of
three, features commentary by J. Alec Motyer (Zephaniah and
Haggai), Thomas McComiskey (Zechariah), and Douglas Stuart
(Malachi). The authors not only provide meticulous exegesis of the
Hebrew text but also relate the message of the ancient prophets to
contemporary life in practical and meaningful ways.

A Welsh poet recalls the celebration of Christmas in Wales and the feelings it evoked in him as a child.
This remarkable anthology is meant, in the words of its editor,
for all those 'who like a book that can always lighten some of
their burdens or give wings to their delight, whether in the open
air by day, or under the roof at evening; for I have gathered into
it much of the finest English poetry'. Already established as the
leading young critic of contemporary verse, Edward Thomas used this
volume to further a longstanding aim - to present English
literature to a new audience.
First published in 1907, the collection draws among others on
Thomas's contemporaries Yeats, de la Mare, T. Sturge Moore,
Masefield, Noyes, Davies and Housman. The volume remained in print
until 1950 in Jonathan Cape's "Travellers' Library" series, and, in
the words of his biographer R. George Thomas, 'remains an
expression of one side of Thomas - boon companion and ready singer
of songs among friends - that has often been overlooked'.
The authors have provided an overview of the relationships between
hormones that are physiologic constituents of the body as well as
their pharmacologic use in replacement therapies and related
endocrine dys function. Principles of Endocrine Pharmacology
concerns itself with the ther apeutic use of hormones, and hormone
like substances, or drugs that can act either by suppressing or
enhancing the metabolism of certain glands of internal secretion.
Other drugs used for nonendocrine ther apies can likewise affect
the endocrine system. Endocrine pharmacology emerged in the early
1900s with the use of crude pituitary extracts. By the mid-1900s
several investigators had isolated and begun to synthesize hormones
or hormonelike substances. Recognizing the limited supply of
hormones that could be obtained both from animal sources and human
autopsy material, the search for so called hormone substitutes also
began early in the 1900s. Recently, re combinant DNA technologies
have been used to provide alternative therapeutic sources of human
insulin and human growth hormone. Aside from insulin, perhaps no
other use of hormonally-active sub stance is better exemplified by
those drugs which affect fertility. The synthesis of an
orally-effective steroid represented one of the first major
breakthroughs in the chemical suppression of ovulation. Since the
orally active 19-norsteroids were introduced in the 1950s, several
oral contra ceptive steroid preparations have been marketed.
Indeed, the advent of oral contraceptives for birth control has led
to a renewed interest in endocrine pharmacology."
Walter Lippmann was arguably the most recognized and respected
political journalist of the twentieth century. His "Today and
Tomorrow" columns attracted a global readership of well over ten
million. Lippmann was the author of numerous books, including the
best-selling A Preface to Morals (1929) and U.S. Foreign Policy
(1943). His Public Opinion (1922) remains a classic text within
American political philosophy and media studies. Lippmann coined or
popularized several keywords of the twentieth century, including
"stereotype," the "Cold War," and the "Great Society." Sought out
by U.S. Presidents and by America's allies and rivals around the
world, Lippmann remained one of liberalism's most faithful
proponents and harshest critics. Yet few people then or since
encountered the "real" Walter Lippmann. That was because he kept
crucial parts of himself hiding in plain sight. His extensive
commentary on politics and diplomacy was bounded by his sense that
America had to adjust to the loss of a common faith and morality in
a "post-Christian" era. Over the course of his life, Lippmann
traded in his fame as a happy secularist for the stardom of a
grumpy Western Christian intellectual. Yet he never committed
himself to any religious system, especially his own Jewish
heritage. Walter Lippmann: American Skeptic, American Pastor
considers the role of religions in Lippmann's life and thought,
prioritizing his affirmation and rejection of Christian
nationalisms of the left and right. It also yields fresh insights
into the philosophical origins of modern American liberalism,
including liberalism's blind spots in the areas of sex, race, and
class. But most importantly, this biography highlights the
constructive power of doubt. For Lippmann, the good life in the
good society was lived in irreconcilable tension: the struggle to
be free from yet loyal to a way of life; to recognize the dangers
yet also necessity of a civil religion; and to strive for a just
and enduring world order that can never be. In the end, Lippmann
manufactured himself as the prophet of limitation for an
extravagant American Century.
