nidottu
Mustard Seeds is a collection of essays by L. Brent Bozell, Yale Law School graduate, former editor at National Review, founding editor of Triumph magazine, and, in 1985, founder of MisiÛn Guadalupe, a program devoted to the assistance and evangelization of Hispanic immigrants. Section I, Early Sowings, begins with Bozell's early work with National Review; Section II, The Triumph Years, chronicles Bozell's development as a Catholic and as a Catholic thinker who formed an entire generation of Catholic thinkers; Section III, Heading Home, and Section IV, MisiÛ Guadalupe, include more recent essays, including Bozell's current writings about Christ's mercy. Throughout, Bozell's ideas are illuminated by a beautifully personal style which makes even the most difficult concepts strike home with life-changing force. Originally published in 1987 by Trinity Communications.

The Conscience of a Conservative

Barry Goldwater; L. Brent Bozell

nidottu
Published in 1960 under the name of Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater, "The Conscience of a Conservative" is a widely influential and important book on the American conservative political movement. While the book was published under Goldwater's name, it was ghostwritten by L. Brent Bozell Jr., the brother-in-law of William F. Buckley and Goldwater's speech writer in the 1950s. The book was instantly popular and catapulted Goldwater, a Senator from Arizona when the book was published, into the national spotlight and helped him became the Republican nominee for President in 1964. Bozell's concise and thorough work details the conservative social and political positions on topics including education, labor unions, taxation, farming and agriculture policies, and civil rights. The book reignited the conservative movement and led to the rise of Reagan-style Republicanism in the 1980s. "The Conscience of a Conservative" defines what it means to be a modern political conservative in a way that is very accessible and understandable and continues to influence American political writers to this day. It remains an essential read for any student of political science and post-war American political history. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Historical Dictionary of Homosexuality

Historical Dictionary of Homosexuality

Brent L. Pickett

Scarecrow Press
2009
sidottu
The history of sexuality is central to social history, the history of ideas, the realization or repression of human rights, and other areas of focus. This is also true about those who have had, or do have, what could be called minority sexualities. Same-sex attraction has generally been a minority sexuality; it has been the object of tremendous repression and vociferous complaint but also one of praise by talented poets and philosophers. The Historical Dictionary of Homosexuality provides a comprehensive survey of same-sex relations from ancient China and Greece to the contemporary world. It covers the gay rights movement from its origins in 19th century Europe to the nascent global network today. Philosophic treatments, such as natural law and queer theory, along with legal issues and court decisions are included. Global in its coverage of the variety of same-sex relations, their legal treatment, and social norms concerning same-sex attraction, this reference includes a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and cross-referenced dictionary entries on specific countries and regions, influential historical figures, laws that criminalized same-sex sexuality, various historical terms that have been used to refer to aspects of same-sex love, and contemporary events and legal decisions.

Patterns of American Terrorism

Patterns of American Terrorism

Brent L. Smith; Kelly R. Damphousse; Jeff Gruenewald

Routledge
2023
sidottu
Patterns of American Terrorism provides a detailed empirical examination of the patterns of behavior exhibited by persons indicted in federal criminal courts for "terrorism-related activities" in the United States over the past 35 years. Not intended to be a theoretical treatise on the etiology of terrorism, nor to be an indictment of federal counterterrorism efforts, this book seeks to provide a definitive guide to what we know about the behavior of terrorists who have targeted the United States and the country’s efforts to prosecute and punish them. Utilizing data from the American Terrorism Study, this volume provides an in-depth analysis of the temporal and spatial patterns that shaped the manner in which terrorists in the United States planned and carried out their attacks; how terrorists are investigated, prosecuted, and punished in federal courts; and how counterterrorism efforts have affected the behavior of individual terrorists and groups. Smith, Damphousse, and Gruenewald delve into the demographic characteristics and geospatial and temporal patterns of terrorist behavior as an outgrowth of research they conducted over many years in the American Terrorism Study. Building on this foundation, the authors compare "lone actor" or "lone wolf" terrorists with the patterns of behavior exhibited by groups or cells and examine more recent behaviors of ISIS conspiracies in the United States with those of terrorists from other types of groups. Providing a comprehensive overview of the nature and evolution of modern international and domestic terrorism, this book offers a wealth of findings that will be useful in setting policy and developing guidelines for counterterrorism efforts as well as in formulating hypotheses to test theoretical models. The book will be of interest to scholars and students of terrorism and political violence, criminology, sociology, international security, and political science.

Do Good Fences Make Good Neighbors?

Do Good Fences Make Good Neighbors?

Brent L. Sterling

Georgetown University Press
2009
sidottu
A number of nations, conspicuously Israel and the United States, have been increasingly attracted to the use of strategic barriers to promote national defense. In "Do Good Fences Make Good Neighbours?", defense analyst Brent Sterling examines the historical use of strategic defences such as walls or fortifications to evaluate their effectiveness and consider their implications for modern security. Sterling studies six famous defences spanning 2,500 years, representing both democratic and authoritarian regimes: the Long Walls of Athens, Hadrian's Wall in Roman Britain, the Ming Great Wall of China, Louis XIV's Pre Carre, France's Maginot Line, and Israel's Bar Lev Line. Although many of these barriers were effective in the short term, they also affected the states that created them in terms of cost, strategic outlook, military readiness, and relations with neighbours. Sterling assesses how modern barriers against ground and air threats could influence threat perceptions, alter the military balance, and influence the builder's subsequent policy choices. Advocates and critics of strategic defences often bolster their arguments by selectively distorting history. Sterling emphasizes the need for an impartial examination of what past experience can teach us. His study yields nuanced lessons about strategic barriers and international security and yields findings that are relevant for security scholars and compelling to general readers.

Other People's Wars

Other People's Wars

Brent L. Sterling

Georgetown University Press
2021
sidottu
Case studies explore how to improve military adaptation and preparedness in peacetime by investigating foreign wars Preparing for the next war at an unknown date against an undetermined opponent is a difficult undertaking with extremely high stakes. Even the most detailed exercises and wargames do not truly simulate combat and the fog of war. Thus, outside of their own combat, militaries have studied foreign wars as a valuable source of battlefield information. The effectiveness of this learning process, however, has rarely been evaluated across different periods and contexts. Through a series of in-depth case studies of the US Army, Navy, and Air Force, Brent L. Sterling creates a better understanding of the dynamics of learning from “other people’s wars,” determining what types of knowledge can be gained from foreign wars, identifying common pitfalls, and proposing solutions to maximize the benefits for doctrine, organization, training, and equipment. Other People’s Wars explores major US efforts involving direct observation missions and post-conflict investigations at key junctures for the US armed forces: the Crimean War (1854–56), Russo-Japanese War (1904–5), Spanish Civil War (1936–39), and Yom Kippur War (1973), which preceded the US Civil War, First and Second World Wars, and major army and air force reforms of the 1970s, respectively. The case studies identify learning pitfalls but also show that initiatives to learn from other nations’ wars can yield significant benefits if the right conditions are met. Sterling puts forth a process that emphasizes comprehensive qualitative learning to foster better military preparedness and adaptability.

In the 1950s, North Dakota experienced its first oil boom in the Williston Basin, on the western side of the state. The region experienced unprecedented social and economic changes, which were carefully documented in a 1958 report by four researchers at the University of North Dakota. Since then, western North Dakota has undergone two more booms, the most recent from 2008 to 2014. Sixty Years of Boom and Bust republishes the 1958 report and updates its analysis by describing the impact of the latest boom on the region's physical geography, politics, economics, and social structure.Sixty Years of Boom and Bust addresses topics as relevant today as they were in 1958: the natural and built environment, politics and policy, crime, intergroup relations, and access to housing and medical services. In addition to making hard-to-find material readily available, it examines an area shaped by resource booms and busts over the course of six decades. As a result, it provides unprecedented insight into the patterns of development and the roots of the challenges the region has faced.
