A useful tool for practitioners, researchers, theorists, and
advanced students, Handbook of Sexual Assault analyzes the nature
and extent of the problem of sexual offending and classifies the
types of offenders according to an empirically developed system. In
addition, contributors present the theories of the etiology and
maintenance of sexual offending; offer various perspectives and
factors relevant to accurate assessment; and detail contemporary
treatment procedures.
A guide for the design and implementation of treatment programs,
this book emphasizes clinical issues over research and offers
valuable suggestions for dealing with problems that arise in
treatment. Contributors describe their work in prisons, psychiatric
institutions, and community settings. Special attention is given to
culturally sensitive treatments and to special populations,
including professionals, clergy, juveniles, women, and the
physically challenged.
This is a survey of current debates over the significance and role
of Puritanism in 17th-century England. It is intended for
undergraduate courses on 17th-century England.
For students new to the subject of history there are many books on
the "theory" of writing history but fewer on how history is
actually "practised". This work by a team of historians from the
University of Sussex fills this gap. The first half of the book
examines a number of notable controversies that have been, and
still are, the subject of historical debate - for example, race in
South Africa, the legacy of the French Resistance, the origins of
the Welfare State. These illustrate the issues involved in "doing"
history. The second half of the book focuses upon the historians
themselves - such as Tawney, Carr, Buckhardt, Weber, Thompson - and
demonstrates how the historian puts his/her own spin on historical
interpretation. Together the study of controversies and historians
shows with clarity the practical issues of historical method.
"Historical Controversies and Historians" should be a useful primer
for any student embarking on a course in history.
On three successive mornings in February 1652, God spoke to a
London tailor by the name of John Reeve. Consequently he and his
cousin Lodowicke Muggleton believed that they were the Last Two
Witnesses prophesied in the Book of Revelation. Over the next six
years the pair attracted a small but dedicated band of followers
that, following the death of Reeve, became known as the
Muggletonians. In this lively and engaging history, the origins of
the sect during the religious turmoil and freedoms of the 1650s are
described in detail. Their unique theology, beliefs and practices
are described and traced throughout the changing circumstances of
the centuries. Yet the book offers much more than a history of
another puritan sect, for unlike many of their contemporaries, the
Muggletonians persisted until the latter years of the twentieth
century. Moreover, they preserved a comprehensive archive, rescued
from the Blitz by a Kent farmer who transported the papers in empty
apple boxes on his way back from market. Discovered by E.P.
Thompson in 1974, this archive paints a vivid picture of the
Muggletonians from their earliest days until the death of their
last member in 1979. By following the history of the Muggletonians
from the heady post-civil war days through to the 1970s, this work
offers a unique perspective on radical Christian belief and
practice, and how it adapted to the changing world around it. More
than this, however, it tells the fascinating story of how a small
religious group, which eschewed active proselytising and believed
in the mortality of the soul, managed to overcome persecution and
obscurity, to survive for 320 years.

A Holy Commonwealth was written in 1659 by the Puritan minister
Richard Baxter (1615-91), and proved to be the most controversial
of all his works. He publicly repudiated it in 1670, and in 1683
the Oxford University authorities ordered it to be part of a
book-burning that included the works of Hobbes and Milton. The
scandal that surrounded it has obscured its merits as the most
candid of confessions as to why a conservative Puritan fought for
Parliament in the Civil War and gave his support to the Cromwells.
The views it expresses are at variance with the cautious
explanations given in Baxter's later memoirs (now seen as a less
reliable source than past commentators have presumed). This edition
of A Holy Commonwealth makes available to modern readers a work
which offers a unique perspective on the relation between church
and magistrate and the origins of the English Civil War.
