A Reason To Live

A Reason To Live

James T Brown

pokkari
407 AD, the once mighty invincible Empire of Rome, was threatened, the wind of change was gathering. Rebellion was rife, the Goths galvanised by King Alaric, usurpers rose, eager to claim the purple. The isle of Britannia was itself a constant threat, led by the fanatical Druids. From out of the turmoil and bloody conflict in Britannia, an unlikely band of survivors became united. Masada, a young Druid Apostolate, Julia a beautiful Roman maiden, General Albinus a loyal servant of Rome, and four ex slaves. Politics dictated their future; a perilous journey lay before them. New friends were made, old acquaintances renewed, to each Masada gave them a reason to live, it would be surely tested. A Gothic Warlord to be subdued, a Visigoth King to be pacified, pirates to overcome, oceans to be tamed, courage, fortitude, but above all, hope, would be their companions.

Employers Large and Small

Employers Large and Small

Charles Brown; James T. Hamilton; James Medoff

Harvard University Press
1990
sidottu
Small business has captured the imagination of both the popular press and politicians. The tradition that has created sympathy for the small entrepreneur has been strengthened in recent years by images of small firms as dynamic, growing, and flexible and of large firms as struggling, outdated, and intractable in the face of changing competitive environments. There is, it appears, an added fervor for America’s support of “the little guy.”Employers Large and Small draws on existing data and new research to create a more complete picture of the roles of large and small employers, challenging much of the conventional wisdom. It argues that the oft-cited achievement of small firms in generating new jobs is primarily a reflection of the fact that industries in which the typical firm is small have grown rapidly in recent years.The authors show that there are striking differences between large and small employers—that in fact large employers pay higher wages, offer better fringe benefits, and on average offer a more attractive package of working conditions and compensation. These differences reflect real challenges faced by small firms: they pay more for their nonlabor inputs and for many fringe benefits if they choose to offer them.Employers Large and Small also goes beyond the workplace, examining the role of large and small employers in politics. Despite the typical portrayal of small business as the underdog in policy disputes, the political resources of small employers are substantial. The PAC contributions of small business, for example, are as large as those of labor unions and nearly two-thirds those of big business.The authors show that the economic and political differences between large and small employers are sizable, are significant influences in the working lives of Americans, and are at odds with current policy assumptions.

Questions Christians Aren't Supposed to Ask

Questions Christians Aren't Supposed to Ask

James V Brownson

William B Eerdmans Publishing Co
2021
nidottu
Why should anyone believe in God in a world with so much pain? How can I be part of the church when it's so full of hypocrisy? Isn't "spiritual but not religious" enough? What makes Jesus more important than Muhammad, Buddha, or other religious leaders? Why should I trust Christianity when it's hurt so many people? What if it hurt me? Most Christians have found themselves in conversations with nonbelieving friends and family where these kinds of questions have come up. In fact, most Christians have probably found themselves asking these questions too. But everyone who has ever wondered about such complicated things knows that this is dangerous territory--after all, what if there's no easy answer?This book welcomes and encourages these questions that Christians "aren't supposed to ask." In each chapter, James Brownson introduces a particular question and then reframes it with a relevant passage from the Bible, bringing to bear his expertise as a biblical scholar. Rather than providing dogmatic (and ultimately unsatisfying) "Sunday school answers," he explores the questions in provocative ways that often challenge the status quo of American Christianity. Fittingly, each chapter closes with discussion questions and suggestions for further reading, so that the conversations begun here can continue among the book's readers in fruitful ways.

The Changing Politics of Federal Grants

The Changing Politics of Federal Grants

Lawrence D. Brown; James W. Fossett; Kenneth T. Palmer

Brookings Institution
1984
nidottu
"The design and use of federal grants-in-aid to state and local governments have posed policy choices for every presidential administration since that of Lyndon B. Johnson. The papers in this volume describe the decisions these administrations have made, analyze why only some of these choices prevailed politically, and explain how large amounts of federal aid have affected local governments.These studies mark the final chapter in a major research effort carried out by the Brookings Governmental Studies program to evaluate the effects of general revenue sharing and other broad-based forms of aid that were introduced in the early 1970s.Kenneth T. Palmer traces the major steps in the evolution of grants-in-aid since the Johnson administration. Lawrence D. Brown's essay on the politics of devolution examines the successes and failures of innovative grant policies such as revenue sharing and block grants. James W. Fossett, writing on the politics of dependence, analyzes the effect of the massive expansion of federal grants to the large cities in the 1970s."

James T. Farrell and Baseball

James T. Farrell and Baseball

Charles DeMotte

University of Nebraska Press
2019
sidottu
James T. Farrell and Baseball is a social history of baseball on Chicago’s South Side, drawing on the writings of novelist James T. Farrell along with historical sources. Charles DeMotte shows how baseball in the early decades of the twentieth century developed on all levels and in all areas of Chicago, America’s second largest city at the time, and how that growth intertwined with Farrell’s development as a fan and a writer who used baseball as one of the major themes of his work. DeMotte goes beyond Farrell’s literary focus to tell a larger story about baseball on Chicago’s South Side during this time-when Charles Comiskey’s White Sox won two World Series and were part of a rich baseball culture that was widely played at the amateur, semipro, and black ball levels. DeMotte highlights the 1919–20 Black Sox fix and scandal, which traumatized not only Farrell and Chicago but also baseball and the broader culture. By tying Farrell’s fictional and nonfictional works to Chicago’s vibrant baseball history, this book fills an important gap in the history of baseball during the Deadball Era.
