What Does the Lord Require?: How American Christians Think about Economic Justice
ISBN: 9780813523255 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this engaging and lively book, Stephen Hart paints a rich portrait of how everyday Christians connect their faith to political issues like economic equality, government intervention, and the rights of private enterprise. Drawing on interviews with forty-seven "ordinary" Christians--Roman Catholics, Evangelical and Pentecostal Protestants, mainline Protestants, and others--Hart argues that Christians do not always learn a conservative political perspective from their religion, as is often the stereotype. Rather, Christian traditions provide a reservoir of resources that supports such varied...

Medieval Church Window Tracery in England
ISBN: 9781843837602 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 154 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. While the terms used to describe the tracery of medieval church windows are familiar (Early English, Decorated, Perpendicular), there has been no really detailed attempt to examine it as a distinct, stylistic architectural form, a gap which this book seeks to address. Based upon a visual catalogue of over 250 images of surviving types and styles from churches throughout England, it traces the progression of ideas and the continuity of motifs and themes in tracery patterns from the thirteenth to the sixteenth centuries, showing how different themes emerged within the main architectural styles;...

Montgomery and Colossal Cracks: The 21st Army Group in Northwest Europe, 1944-45
ISBN: 9780275961626 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. A reinterpretation of the British Army's conduct in the crucial 1944-45 Northwest Europe campaign, this work examines systematically the Colossal Cracks operational technique employed by Montgomery's Anglo-Canadian 21st Army Group and demonstrates the key significance that morale and casualty concerns exerted on this technique. To ensure a full understanding of the campaign, one needs to look not only at Montgomery's methods but at those of his army commanders, Dempsey and Crerar; thus, this study addresses the scant attention to date paid to these two figures. Hart suggests that... A reinterpretation of the British Army's conduct in the crucial 1944-45 Northwest Europe campaign, this work examines systematically the Colossal C... |

In the United States modern knowledge-based economy, a quality education is a basic prerequisite for success. However, troublesome achievement and opportunity gaps persist throughout the entire education spectrum.

Educators worry that the systems are reproducing class structures, not breaking them down. Credible research suggests that too many capable youth are not reaching their full academic potential. Unable to overcome deficits in economic, social and cultural capital,...

Cultural Dilemmas of Progressive Politics: Styles of Engagement Among Grassroots Activists
ISBN: 9780226318189 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Why have conservatives fared so much better than progressives in recent decades, even though polls show no significant move to the right in public opinion? "Cultural Dilemmas of Progressive Politics" highlights one reason: that progressives often adopt impoverished modes of discourse, ceding the moral high ground to their conservative rivals. Stephen Hart also shows that some progressive groups are pioneering more robust ways of talking about their issues and values, providing examples other progressives could emulate.
Through case studies of grassroots movements particularly the economic... Why have conservatives fared so much better than progressives in recent decades, even though polls show no significant move to the right in public opi...
