Unearthing the writings of African American Communists and the forgotten promise of radical politics through primary sources
Although healing constitutes both a major theme of biblical literature and a significant practice of biblical communities, healing themes and experiences are not always conspicuous in presentations of biblical theology. Walter T. Wilson adopts an interdisciplinary approach to the healing narratives in the Gospel of Matthew, combining the familiar methods of form, redaction, and narrative criticisms with insights culled from medical anthropology, feminist theory, disability studies, and ancient archaeology. His focus is the New Testament's longest and most systematic account of healing, Matthew chapters 8 and 9, which he investigates by situating the text within a broad range of ancient healing traditions. The close exegetical readings of each healing narrative culminate in a final synthesis that pulls together what can be said about Matthew's understanding of healing, how Matthew's narratives of healing expose the distinctive priorities of the evangelist, and how these priorities relate to the theology of the Gospel as a whole.

Intercropping is a method of sustaining or improving soil structure by growing two or more crops on the same field. It is a technique of wide application and of growing importance for both commercial and subsistence farmers. This textbook provides a comprehensive survey of the design and analysis of intercropping experiments. Its main themes are that techniques such as relative indices make it possible to cover a wide variety of conditions, and that statistical models for density-yield relations enable recommendations to be made to growers of crops. As a result, graduate students and researchers in statistics, biometry, and agriculture whose study involves intercropping will find this an invaluable text and reference.

Intercropping is an area of research for which there is a desperate need, both in developing countries where people are rapidly depleting scarce resources and still starving, and in developed countries, where more ecologically and economically sound ways of feeding ourselves must be developed. The only published guidelines for conducting such research and analyzing the data have been scattered about in various journal articles, many of which are hard to find. This book condenses these methods and will be immensely valuable to agricultural researchers and to the statisticians who help them design their experiments and interpret their results.
The history of a tiny plot of ground on which the renowned St. Jude Children's Research Hospital exists holds a truly remarkable story of suffering, happiness and intrigue. Since Hernando de Soto arrived there in 1541 AD and claimed the area in the name of Spain and the Catholic Church, events have occurred within this half mile that lead us to refer to it as "hallowed ground." The crowning glory came from afar in recent years when the son of Lebanese immigrants in Detroit, Danny Thomas, prayed to St. Jude Thaddeus for direction in his life and promised to build a shrine to the Saint. Why he chose to build his shrine as St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and why he placed it on our hallowed half mile in Memphis will enhance the faith of the most hardened heart.

"Baseball has long been designated the great American pastime. However, when baseball is considered from a legal perspective it becomes more than sport, recreation, or entertainment, and it differs greatly from other examples of these. The only textbook of its kind, Baseball and the Law explains why baseball is different - legally - and examines baseball-specific regulations and laws. Each chapter focuses on a distinctive legal aspect of the sport beginning with contracts and laws related to injuries sustained by spectators. The material addresses salary arbitration and grievances, gambling, steroid use, the reserve clause and antitrust exemption, and intellectual property. Students also learn about free agency, the luxury tax, the baseball commissioner's power, strikes and lockouts, and defamation and privacy. The book underscores the importance of baseball's history, from segregation and the Negro league to its current global popularity. Filled with real-world examples and cases, as well as expert commentary, Baseball and the Law will be of interest for those studying law, sports management, and popular culture. Walter T. Champion, Jr. is the George Foreman Professor of Law at the Thurgood Marshall School of Law, Texas Southern University. He holds a J.D. from Temple University in Philadelphia and has been admitted to practice in both Pennsylvania and Texas. Professor Champion teaches courses in sports law and recreational injuries and he has written and spoken extensively on topics related to sports and the law. He is a member of the Texas Bar Association and the American Bar Association."
Hasta la Vista Europe!: What you're not being told about the refugee crisis and how it's destroying Europe

Europe is doomedThe old-fashioned-controlled-media is covering up a massive, cataclysmic travesty - the so-called "refugee crisis" in Europe. The fairytale is that millions of innocent peace-loving families are fleeing war and death.Nothing could be further from the truth. And the truth is nothing short of savage.It's all here, from crimes to cover-ups, from media spins to actual events, from horrific diseases to restricted info. Just facts. Eyewitness accounts. And links to the sources so you can see it, hear it, or read it for yourself.A look at each of the 51 countries and independent states that make up Europe today, full of hair-raising unthinkable acts. FAIRYTALE from the old-fashioned-controlled-media: refugees are scared, pitiful families fleeing war. TRUTH from Hasta la Vista EUROPE : most "refugees" (75% or more) are young fighting-age males in search of economic opportunities.FAIRYTALE: these refugees just want to be safe, fit in and assimilate, and want to become productive members of their new nations. TRUTH: many new "refugees" have no intention of integrating, can be violent, and have an air of entitlement never before seen - complaining about food and slow internet, launching lawsuits within days of arriving, and even refusing to shake hands with "unclean" women. FAIRYTALE: Sweden is a leading example of multicultural success. TRUTH: Setting aside the regular grenade attacks and bomb explosions, Sweden is the new rape capital of Europe, with migrants leading the way in vicious criminal activity. Don't believe it? There are at least 55 migrant neighborhood areas (NO-GO zones) that the police simply don't dare respond to without multiple units. FAIRYTALE: Germany has led the way by taking in and welcoming more than a million refugees in 2015 and everything is working fine. TRUTH: During a "Welcome Refugees" event in November 2015, large groups of male asylum seekers surrounded German coeds and sexually assaulted them. Terrified women fled the event as organizers covered up assaults. Then, 1,000+ refugees, migrants, asylum seekers assaulted (including rapes and gang rapes) over 800 women on New Year's Eve 2016 in just one town in Germany (Cologne). Similar attacks, on lesser scales, occurred across Europe. FAIRYTALE: Syrian children refugees need special attention. TRUTH: Yes, but many are NOT Syrian or children. Many are much older than they claim to be - adult males pretend to be Syrian children in order to get faster asylum, and far lesser, if any, punishment when they commit crimes including rape. Does any of this sound like a plan that is working? If you want to know what is brewing in Europe, if you or your family came from Europe, if you love Europe, if you have relatives in Europe, if anyone you know is planning to travel to Europe, you need to read Hasta la Vista EUROPE today "If Europe opens its gates, soon millions will come through, and while living among us, will start exercising their own customs, including beheading." -Lech Walesa, Nobel Peace Prize (1983), Polish President (1990-1995) "Sweden is falling apart..." -G ran Persson, Former Swedish Prime Minister (1996-2006) "Everything which is now taking place before our eyes threatens to have explosive consequences for the whole of Europe, and is now causing alarm throughout the world... there are millions more intending to set out for Europe, driven by economic motives." -Viktor Orban, Hungarian Prime Minister "Freedom does not mean being free of something, but to be free to do something." -Angela Merkel, German Chancellor"I used to think that Merkel was some sort of strong leader. What Merkel has done in Europe is insane." -Donald Trump, American Billionaire & US Presidential Candidate Get your copy of Hasta la Vista EUROPE
In 1862, Nashville became the first Southern state capital to be captured by the Union Army; that occupation would not end until after the Civil War's conclusion in 1865. In two incisive books, first published more than twenty years ago and available once more for a new generation of readers, Walter T. Durham traces occupied Nashville's reluctant transition from Rebel stronghold to partner of the Union. Together, Nashville and Reluctant Partners highlight the importance of local history within Civil War scholarship and assess the impact of the war on people other than combat soldiers and places other than battlefields. Nashville examines the first seventeen months of the Union occupation, showing how the local population coped with the sudden presence of an enemy force. It also explores the role of military governor Andrew Johnson and how he asserted his authority over the city. Reluctant Partners depicts a city coming to grips with the rapidly fading prospect of a Confederate victory and how, faced with this reality, its citizens began to cooperate with Johnson and the Union. Their reward was a booming economy and scant battle damage. With new prefaces discussing the two decades of scholarship that have emerged since these books' original appearance, these volumes offer an absorbing view of Union occupation at the most local of levels. Durham's volumes remain at the forefront of reconsidering the Civil War in the Upper South. Students and scholars of the Civil War-particularly in its social dimensions-as well as devotees of Tennessee history will find these new editions invaluable. Walter T. Durham is the author of seventeen books, including Balie Peyton of Tennessee: Nineteenth-Century Politics and Thoroughbreds and Volunteer Forty-niners: Tennesseans and the California Gold Rush. He has been the Tennessee state historian since 2002.
