This is the story of one of the great literary rows of the nineteenth century, between one of its greatest historians and one of its sharpest critics. The quarrel began in the House of Commons during the debates of 1831-2 on parliamentary reform and was continued in the quarterly reviews. Even in a political setting, it had a historical dimension. Croker taunted Macaulay for being ignorant of the French Revolution. Macaulay replied by pouring scorn on Croker's accuracy as editor of Boswell's Johnson. The bitterness of the clash made subsequent compromise impossible. Sixteen years later, Croker wrote a long damning review of the first two volumes of Macaulay's History of England. Posterity admires success, and as Macaulay's writings have eclipsed Croker's it has usually been assumed that Croker was moved by mere political spite. In this highly readable study, William Thomas shows that this verdict is unfair, that Croker's political opinions were both less rancorous and more interesting, and that Macaulay's own scholarship was far from faultless. He also considers each man's historical writing alongside his politics and argues that, while Croker's critical method was sharpened by his politics, Macaulay's political opinions were much more independent of party, and that he is not the typical Whig historian of legend. William Thomas illustrates how the two men actually had many ideas in common, and the commentators who have seen only political dislike have missed the real purpose of the History of England and what made it the most successful historical work in English literature.

Unix is a portable, multitasking, multi-user, time-sharing operating system (OS) originally developed in 1969 by a group of employees at. Unix was first programmed in assembly language but was reprogrammed in C in. Unix has been ported to more machine families than any other operating system. As a result, it has come to be identified with the concept of open systems. Unix operating systems are widely used in PCs, servers and mobile devices. The Unix environment was also an essential element in the development of the Internet and networking

Is it enough to insist that Germans were free, ultimately, either to refuse or go along with the Nazification of their society -- holding up as evidence of this freedom the relatively few who did attempt to subvert the process? Should the Holocaust itself be attributed to ideologically-driven will, on individual and collective levels? Can the conditions for its occurrence be traced to political "choices" made in the course of Germany's development, in its national character-formation? In short, is there a moral culpability here that can be identified and set into its proper categories, the roots of the evil named and thereby differentiated from forces of "Life"? Or is the Final Solution in fact a window onto some more fundamental or general catastrophe? In these Notes, William Thomas examines how interpretation of the Holocaust usually functions as a conceptual-moral buffering, e.g., in using it as an occasion for the reaffirmation of favored ideological or philosophical views -- as if we might after all gain a certain benefit from it... But there is no benefit, Thomas suggests; the catastrophe is endless -- thus no affirmation of life is possible now, without "euphemizing" the impact of the Final Solution and what was revealed in it...

John's vision of the resurrected Jesus Christ in Revelation is both inspiring and challenging. What message does he have for the church? The modern church finds herself in a peculiar time; she struggles to continue her eternal purpose, carry on her calling, and maintain relevance in a world that is changing rapidly. The church's struggle today is not all that different from the difficulties the church faced in the first century. That is why Bill Thomas wrote Dear Church; to analyze Jesus' message to the seven first-century churches of Asia on how to overcome their challenges. The nine lessons included within this book act as a roadmap, helping readers to question whether their church is portraying the teachings of the risen Christ. This book can be used by anyone who wishes to grow in both spirit and knowledge, as well as those seeking spiritual clarity. Lessons include: - Letter to the church at Smyrna: The Persecuted Church (Revelation 2:8-11)- Letter to the church at Sardis: The Dead Church (Revelation 3:1-6)- Letter to the church at Laodicea: The Lukewarm Church (Revelation 3:14-22)

Every marathon has two lines. We usually focus on the Finish Line; that is where the crowd gathers, that is where medals are awarded. We see crossing the Finish Line as the victory. But there is a second line: the Starting Line. Sometimes, getting to that line and crossing it is even harder. Once you do, though, life can get pretty amazing. William Thomas only began running at age 42, and ran his first marathon nine months later. Looking for a new goal, he set out to complete The Marathon Grand Slam: running a marathon on all 7 continents and at the North Pole. In addition to running marathons in the United States, his Grand Slam journey took him to Singapore, France, Brazil, South Africa, Australia, Antarctica, and ultimately, the North Pole. CROSS THE LINES is the story of the multi-year journey that put him onto a very different path from anything he could have imagined before.

It was a hot humid day and as Deal looked down at the flower covered coffin he could feel the sweat running down his forehead and temples. All the while wishing the minister would hurry and end the service. Deal hates funerals and does everything he can to avoid them including this one, his mother's funeral. Life didn't turn out the way Deal expected. His life is in shambles. Something in his past is deeply embedded in his soul that makes him unable to cope with everyday life. Most people reminisce about a time when they were young, but Deal is obsessed with it. It's his escape from reality. After the funeral at his mother's home he drifts into a deep sleep. It all comes back, all the adventures he and Benny had the year he turned eleven and Benny turned nine, back when life was so much simpler. The story is an amusing account of Deal and Benny's adventures, trials and tribulations filled with plenty of nostalgia to remind the reader about the simple life of the 1950's before the onslaught of technology.
