These 'Viking hot spots' in North West England exhibit many archaeological and historical features proving them to have had a clear Viking presence. The book explains—with the help of full color illustrations—what DNA is and how DNA methods can be used to probe both individual and population ancestry, and how information such as Henry VIII’s tax rolls can be used to help establish the volunteer base for specific regions of northern England.

He was Jerry Falwell's first ministry mentor. He became a leader in the largest organization of independent Baptists in the world. His preaching ministry took him to six continents.He left behind a legacy of churches, colleges-and multiplied thousands of faithful followers of Jesus Christ.Cry Aloud, Spare Not: The Story of W. E. Dowell explores the life of an extraordinary leader, from his humble Texas roots, to his first ministry experiences during the depths of The Great Depression, to his work as a broadcaster and early televangelist, to his leadership of the largest church in the State of Missouri. This book also examines Dowell's relationship with the controversial and enigmatic Texas preacher, J. Frank Norris. Norris was the original independent Baptist and the pastor of the nation's first mega-church, but he had a dark side, one that Dowell ultimately witnessed firsthand. Dowell's decision to oppose and break with Norris demonstrated Dowell's character and courage as an authentic servant-leader. Dowell was fearless in the controversial stands he took on the moral and political issues of his day. With these, he helped to pave the way for the eventual formation of movements such as the Moral Majority, as well as the rise of the religious right in America.This story is brought to life by Dowell's own grandson, Stephen E. Dowell. It is saturated with details gleaned from personal interviews, recordings, and letters. Though an exhaustive and thoroughly researched study, this is no "dry-as-dust" biography. It is filled with captivating dialogue and vivid descriptions that will capture the reader's imagination and reveal a man of God who, like the Apostle Paul, "fought a good fight" and "finished his] course." Cry Aloud, Spare Not: The Story of W. E. Dowell is sure to inspire.

Band of Brothers: E Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne from Normandy to Hitler's Eagle's Nest

Band of Brothers: E Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne from Normandy to Hitler's Eagle's Nest

Stephen E. Ambrose

SIMON SCHUSTER
2017
nidottu
Stephen E. Ambrose's classic New York Times bestseller and inspiration for the acclaimed HBO series about Easy Company, the ordinary men who became the World War II's most extraordinary soldiers at the frontlines of the war's most critical moments. Featuring a foreword from Tom Hanks. They came together, citizen soldiers, in the summer of 1942, drawn to Airborne by the $50 monthly bonus and a desire to be better than the other guy. And at its peak--in Holland and the Ardennes--Easy Company was as good a rifle company as any in the world. From the rigorous training in Georgia in 1942 to the disbanding in 1945, Stephen E. Ambrose tells the story of this remarkable company. In combat, the reward for a job well done is the next tough assignment, and as they advanced through Europe, the men of Easy kept getting the tough assignments. They parachuted into France early D-Day morning and knocked out a battery of four 105 mm cannon looking down Utah Beach; they parachuted into Holland during the Arnhem campaign; they were the Battered Bastards of the Bastion of Bastogne, brought in to hold the line, although surrounded, in the Battle of the Bulge; and then they spearheaded the counteroffensive. Finally, they captured Hitler's Bavarian outpost, his Eagle's Nest at Berchtesgaden. They were rough-and-ready guys, battered by the Depression, mistrustful and suspicious. They drank too much French wine, looted too many German cameras and watches, and fought too often with other GIs. But in training and combat they learned selflessness and found the closest brotherhood they ever knew. They discovered that in war, men who loved life would give their lives for them. This is the story of the men who fought, of the martinet they hated who trained them well, and of the captain they loved who led them. E Company was a company of men who went hungry, froze, and died for each other, a company that took 150 percent casualties, a company where the Purple Heart was not a medal--it was a badge of office.

Words of a Century

Words of a Century

Stephen E. Lucas; Martin J. Medhurst

Oxford University Press Inc
2009
nidottu
This is an anthology of the top 100 American speeches of the twentieth century, as determined in the nationwide survey of communication scholars conducted at the end of 1999. Respondents were asked to judge speeches on two main criteria: rhetorical artistry and historical impact. The survey received considerable press coverage, and the website that houses the survey results gets hundreds of hits weekly. The major attraction of the book for an academic/higher education market - full, accurate texts of all 100 of the top speeches of the 20th century - should make it at least equally appealing for the trade market. It should remain the authoritative volume of 20th century speeches well into the 21st century.

Market Power Politics

Market Power Politics

Stephen E. Gent; Mark J.C. Crescenzi

Oxford University Press Inc
2021
nidottu
A new theory of market power politics that explains when and why states will delay cooperation or even fight wars in pursuit of this elusive goal. How are the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, the Russian incursions into Ukraine and Georgia, and China's occupation of islands in the South China Sea related? All three of these important moments in modern history were driven by the motivation to capture market power. Whether it was oil for Iraq, natural gas for Russia, or rare earth elements for China, the goal isn't just the commodities themselves--it is the ability to determine their price on the global market. In Market Power Politics, Stephen Gent and Mark Crescenzi develop a new theory of market power politics that explains when and why states will delay cooperation or even fight wars in pursuit of this elusive goal. Empirically examining case studies from different regions of the world, they explore how competition between states over market power can create disruptions in the global political economy and potentially lead to territorial aggression and war. They also provide clear policy recommendations, urging international institutions to establish norms that reduce the potential for open conflict. Ultimately, Market Power Politics shows that nations' desire to increase their market power means that the push for territorial expansion will continue to shape the trajectory of world politics.

The Gold Leaf Lady and Other Parapsychological Investigations

The Gold Leaf Lady and Other Parapsychological Investigations

Stephen E. Braude

University of Chicago Press
2007
sidottu
For over thirty years, Stephen E. Braude has studied the para-normal in everyday life, from extrasensory perception and psychokinesis to mediumship and materialization. "The Gold Leaf Lady and Other Parapsychological Investigations" is a highly readable and often amusing account of his most memorable encounters with such phenomena. Here, Braude recounts in fascinating detail five particular cases - some that challenge our most fundamental scientific beliefs and others that expose our own credulousness. Braude begins with a south Florida woman who can make thin gold-colored foil appear spontaneously on her skin. He then travels to New York and California to test psychokinetic superstars like Joe Nuzum, who claims to move objects using only his mind. Along the way, Braude also investigates the startling allegations of K. R., a policeman in Annapolis who believes he can transfer images from photographs onto other objects - including his own body - and Ted Serios, a deceased Chicago elevator operator who could make a variety of different images appear on Polaroid film. Ultimately, Braude considers his wife's surprisingly fruitful experiments with astrology, which she has used to guide professional soccer teams to the top of their leagues, as well as his own personal experiences with synchronicity - a phenomenon, he argues, that may need to be explained in terms of a refined, extensive, and dramatic form of psychokinesis. Heady, provocative, and brimming with eye-opening details, "The Gold Leaf Lady and Other Parapsychological Investigations" will intrigue both adherents and detractors of its controversial subject matter.

Revel with a Cause

Revel with a Cause

Stephen E. Kercher

University of Chicago Press
2006
sidottu
We live in a time much like the postwar era. A time of arch political conservatism and vast social conformity. A time in which our nation's leaders question and challenge the patriotism of those who oppose their policies. But before there was Jon Stewart, Al Franken, or Bill Maher, there were Mort Sahl, Stan Freberg, and Lenny Bruce - liberal satirists who, through their wry and scabrous comedic routines, waged war against the political ironies, contradictions, and hypocrisies of their times. "Revel with a Cause" is their story. Stephen Kercher here provides the first comprehensive look at the satiric humor that flourished in the United States during the 1950s and early 1960s. Focusing on an impressive range of comedy - not just standup comedians of the day but also satirical publications like "MAD" magazine, improvisational theater groups such as Second City, the motion picture "Dr. Strangelove", and TV shows like "That Was the Week That Was" - Kercher reminds us that the postwar era saw varieties of comic expression that were more challenging and nonconformist than we commonly remember. His history of these comedic luminaries shows that for a sizeable audience of educated, middle-class Americans who shared such liberal views, the period's satire was a crucial mode of cultural dissent. For such individuals, satire was a vehicle through which concerns over the suppression of civil liberties, Cold War foreign policies, blind social conformity, and our heated racial crisis could be productively addressed. A vibrant and probing look at some of the most influential comedy of mid-twentieth-century America, "Revel with a Cause" belongs on the short list of essential books for anyone interested in the relationship between American politics and popular culture.

2012
nidottu
This classic Cold War-era history looks at the way President Dwight Eisenhower managed America's secret operations as general and as commander in chief and is based on privileged access to the president and his private papers--from bestselling historian Stephen E. Ambrose. During his time in office, Eisenhower projected the image of a genial bureaucrat, but behind that public face, he ran the most efficient espionage establishment in the world, overseeing assassination plots, the growth of the CIA, and the overthrow of governments. This book gives a behind-the-scenes look at some of the most ambitious secret operations in American history, including the 1954 overthrow of Jacobo Arbenz Guzm n's government of Guatemala; Operation AJAX, which toppled Iran's Mossadegh; and the U-2 flights over Russia. Some of Ike's most conspicuous intelligence missteps are also discussed, including the failure to predict the German attack during the Battle of the Bulge and the tragic encouragement of freedom fighters in Hungary, Indonesia, and Cuba. Ike's Spies is indispensible to anyone interested in the development of America's Cold War spy operations.
