The Face Of Forgiveness: Salvation And Redemption
Steven Katzman , and Anthony Bannon Manufacturer: powerHouse Books ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 1576872505 |
Book Description
"[Katzman's photographs] are as striking and powerful as anything brought back from a Vodoun ceremony in Haiti, or a primitivist church in Sicily. Yet they make no pretense of the documentarian's ethnological distance; they're snapped right there in the midst of the actionin the center of the mosh pit, let's sayand convey a raw, uncensored passion clearly indicating that the photographer himself has felt something of the experience that has swept these people up." (New York Press) Responding with intrigue to a newspaper ad that pleaded, "Come to the Miracle Tent. Come witness the blind see, the crippled walk, the deaf hear," photographer Steven Katzman, raised a conservative Jew, began photographing Christian revivals around his hometown of Sarasota, Florida. Katzman was then invited to visit the revival center of Christian Americathe Brownsville Assembly of God, in Pensacola. There, Katzman found a pious evangelical community where God's presence is constantly witnessed in the immeasurable force of the congregation's expressions of religious ecstasy: the laying of hands, the screams and tears of joy and anguish and love as men and women are purged of suffering and sin. The congregation would rise to the point of collapse, lamenting and praying for those less fortunate in the world, being healed by the ever-present love of the faithful and the Lord. As Katzman peered through the lens of his camera, he also heard the desperate calls of the preacher: "Faith has no religion. Do I hear an Amen?" Katzman found what no one had expectedhis faith. With sumptuous black-and-white photographs that recall the religious fervor of El Greco and the anguish of Francis Bacon, The Face of Forgiveness: Salvation and Redemption takes us inside evangelical meetings across the world and bears witness to the driving emotional faith of Christian revival, where emotion and love pours from the eyes and mouths of the faithful, praying and thanking the Lord.Customer Reviews:

Breaking Away: Coleridge in Scotland
Carol Kyros Walker Manufacturer: Yale University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items: ASIN: 0300096410 |
Book Description
When Samuel Taylor Coleridge set out on a tour of Scotland with his friends William and Dorothy Wordsworth in the summer of 1803, his wits were as sharp as ever but his health, professional career, marriage, and friendship with William and his sister Dorothy were in a deteriorating state. On the fifteenth day of their travels, the Wordsworths and Coleridge parted ways, ostensibly so that Coleridge could return home. Instead he pursued his own Scottish tour, finding pleasure in his solitude, speed, and endurance.This book draws on Coleridge's letters and notebooks to look at his travels with the Wordsworths from his own point of view and to record and photograph the journey he experienced after he parted from them. Carol Kyros Walker, editor of Dorothy Wordsworth's own Recollections of a Tour Made in Scotland, now retraces Coleridge's very different Scottish tour and recounts his adventures there. In a remarkable photographic and literary essay, she argues that Coleridge's speed (263 miles in eight days), energy, reflections, notes, and letters all betray a man of great talent who was breaking away -- from the Wordsworths, from his wife, from his life in the Lake District, and from a dry phase in his writing career.

Reshaping Fatherhood: The Social Construction of Shared Parenting (Understanding Families series)
Anna Dienhart Manufacturer: Sage Publications, Inc ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Accessories:
ASIN: 0761909788 |
Book Description
Current research on fatherhood often focuses on minimal changes men have made in their participation in family life. Anna Dienhart argues that men have indeed made significant changes to their family roles, but those changes are often masked in existing discourses on fatherhood. In Reshaping Fatherhood, Dienhartâs qualitative study of 18 shared parenting couples explores both menâs and womenâs resourcefulness and shows how these couples have deliberately co-created alternatives to traditional parenting roles. Using these narrative accounts, Dienhart offers several options for creating a family structure that allows both mothers and fathers to participate actively in parenting.
Dienhart emphasizes that "tag-team parenting," a common technique that couples use to juggle the responsibilities of a hectic family life, relies on both the interchangeability of parental tasks as well as the specialization by preference. Dienhart compares shared parenting to a dance that demands continuous revision of the perceptions and activities of fatherhood and motherhood. She challenges family researchers to move beyond deficit and comparative model perspectives about the complexities of gendered family life as she offers alternative ideas about division-of-labor patterns, menâs relational capabilities in child care, the preeminence of menâs provider role, and traditional notions about gender and politics in families.
This timely book is ideal for professionals and students in family studies, sociology of the family, family psychology, and gender studies.

Military Justice in America: The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, 1775-1980
Jonathan Lurie Manufacturer: University Press of Kansas ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0700610804 |
Book Description
A unique but largely neglected part of the American legal system, the United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces marks its fiftieth anniversary in 2001. In Military Justice in America, Jonathan Lurie chronicles the struggles leading to the Court's creation, as well as its subsequent efforts to fulfill a difficult and sometimes controversial mission. Illuminating and fairminded, Lurie's work provides a new and valuable perspective on the uneasy relations between civil and military authority.Both comprehensive and detailed, Military Justice in America explores the history of the Court, which finally emerged in the wake of the national debates over the confrontation between civilian commitment to due process and individual rights and the military's demand for discipline. Deftly summarizing the Court's prehistory, Lurie then examines the Court's performance during its early years, amidst a growing civil rights movement and an increasingly unpopular war in Vietnam. He also shows how the Court matured as an institution, with its own procedures and personality, and analyzes its stormy relationship with the office of the Judge Advocate General. Along the way, he gives due attention to civilian control of the military, the essential differences between civilian and military jurisprudence, the ongoing interplay between law and politics.
Drawing on a wide range of manuscript collections, court files, and personal interviews, Lurie's work also critically assesses the Court's overall effectiveness. In particular, Lurie looks closely at the Court's efforts to maintain its independence, to insulate the courts-martial process from improper influence, and to fashion a just jurisprudence based on the Bill of Rights. He argues that, despite its undeniable achievements, the Court's performance has not lived up to its full potential and, further, has been seriously compromised by its continued accountability to the Senate Armed Services Committee. In the end, however, he points to the Court as an essential example (and reminder) of how, in our democracy, even the military must, in theory at least, answer to civilian authority.
Military Justice in America substantially abridges and revises two previous and heavily annotated volumes--Arming Military Justice and Pursuing Military Justice--originally commissioned by the Court for a much more limited readership. This new one-volume paperback edition has been prepared with a considerably wider readership in mind. Much more accessible and affordable than its predecessors, it will be especially appealing for anyone interested in American law, military history, and civil-military history.
This book is part of the Modern War Studies series.

The File on the Tsar
Anthony Summers , and Tom Mangold Manufacturer: Orion mass market paperback ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0752849379 |
Book Description
The world was told that the last Tsar of Russia and his family were butchered in the 'cellar massacre' at Ekaterinburg in 1918. Yet diplomats and reporters did not believe it. And the longest court case of the century failed to explode Anna Anderson's claim to be the Tsar's youngest daughter, Grand Duchess Anastasia. Anthony Summers and Tom Mangold spent five years tracking down witnesses and long-lost documents. The search led to Moscow, Tokyo and Washington and their persistence finally paid off when they found a suppressed official dossier - the File on the Tsar. It shows that the public was fed a lie. The Romanovs did not all die at Ekaterinburg, but became pawns in an international power game, involving Lenin, the Kaiser, the British Royal Family and British Intelligence. And in London, over 80 years later, the cover-up goes on.Customer Reviews:

"Plots have I laid".......2001-11-12
This book is a fine example of the fog and questions which surronunded the death (or disappereance) of the russian imperial family. However, as time has moved along, we now know that most of the ideas the authors suggest never occured.
That said I liked the book and felt that it gave a good treatmeant of the context within which the last Tsar and his family met their tragic end. The reader must always exercise caution about the conclusions even as you enjoy the text.

S. K., Ed. Chapman Manufacturer: Humana Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Plastic Comb ASIN: 0896037347 |
Book Description
This collection of the most important methodologies for the analysis of the structure and function of flavoproteins ranges from wet to dry chemistry. These step-by-step methods-developed by leading experimentalists to work reliably-include the most commonly used techniques as well as a wide range of spectrophotometric protocols that allow direct monitoring of flavins in real time, in the steady state, or as reaction intermediates. Among the techniques detailed are freeze-quench methods, EPR spectroscopy, CD spectroscopy, vibrational spectroscopy (SERRS), and nuclear magnetic resonance. Also discussed are a variety of therapeutic applications for flavins and flavoproteins that go far beyond the use of riboflavin as a vitamin supplement. Flavoprotein Protocols offers to both experts in the field and to those working on a flavin-containing protein for the first time a wealth of proven methods and laboratory experience that will enhance their understanding of structure/function relationships in the proteins and of the effects of the protein environment on flavin chemistry.Books:
