This book is one of four substantial volumes designed to demonstrate the range of interests of the several Protestant Nonconformist traditions from the time of their Separatist harbingers to the end of the twentieth century. In this volume we are concerned with the eighteenth century. It was a period in which Old Dissent-the Congregationalists, Baptists, Presbyterians, and Quakers-had to face challenges from Enlightenment thought on the one hand and Evangelical Revival enthusiasm on the other. Largely in their own words, though with introductions contributed by the editors, we enter into the philosophical world of Isaac Watts, Richard Price, and others; we overhear doctrinal disputes over the doctrine of the Trinity; we meet such new arrivals on the religious scene as the Moravians, Sandemanians, Swedenborgians, and Methodists (Calvinistic and Arminian). We consider the Nonconformists' views on the Church, the ministry, and the sacraments; on Church, state, and society; and on Christian nurture, piety, and church life. From philosophical tomes to hymns, from sacramental questions to prison reform, from the most strait-laced Presbyterian to the most enthusiastic Jumper, this volume will remind scholars of the intellectual excitements, the practical witness, and the worship of the eighteenth-century Nonconformists.

Counterculture, while commonly used to describe youth-oriented movements during the 1960s, refers to any attempt to challenge or change conventional values and practices or the dominant lifestyles of the day. This fascinating three-volume set explores these movements in America from colonial times to the present in colorful detail. "American Countercultures" is the first reference work to examine the impact of countercultural movements on American social history. It highlights the writings, recordings, and visual works produced by these movements to educate, inspire, and incite action in all eras of the nation's history. A-Z entries provide a wealth of information on personalities, places, events, concepts, beliefs, groups, and practices. The set includes numerous illustrations, a topic finder, primary source documents, a bibliography and a filmography, and an index.

Protestant nonconformity was one of the most significant aspects of 19th-century Britain. Focusing on some of the lesser known ministers of dissenting denominations, Brown recreates the lives, both private and professional, of an influential but heretofore anonymous group of religious leaders.

The celebrated radical journalist presents a selection of his World War II columns, celebrating the times' great men and deeds and castigating corruption, prejudice, self-interest, and stupidity

The nature of Vladimir Putin's Russia and how to deal with it is one of the very rare topics in International Relations where there is virtually no disagreement within the American establishment. In 'Foreign Affairs' and other professional journals, we see that opinion is divided over possible responses to Iran and its nuclear policy. Opinion is divided on managing relations with rising China. Only the Russian case appears to be frozen in time, without any public controversy. That is an unnatural state of affairs. For America's national interests to be properly served, for opportunities to lower the transaction costs of managing global affairs to be properly exploited, there must be rigorous debate over relations with Russia, alongside other major foreign policy challenges. The author of these essays has chosen to 'step out of line' and step up to bat. The Bush administration closed and the Obama administration opened amidst global tensions of a New Cold War with the Kremlin. Notwithstanding 'reset,' the four years since have failed to bring about a significant rapprochement. 'Stepping Out of Line' is a collection of journalistic reports chronicling the ups and downs in relations; the author's polemical ripostes to leading figures in the American foreign policy establishment over responsibility for the missed opportunity to improve relations; and his scholarly essays on American Russianists from the past who demonstrated that profound knowledge of the object of their studies and sympathy for the country were not always at odds.

Move over, Moneyball -- a cutting-edge look at major league baseball's next revolution: the high-tech quest to build better players. As bestselling authors Ben Lindbergh and Travis Sawchik reveal in The MVP Machine, the Moneyball era is over. Fifteen years after Michael Lewis brought the Oakland Athletics' groundbreaking team-building strategies to light, every front office takes a data-driven approach to evaluating players, and the league's smarter teams no longer have a huge advantage in valuing past performance.Lindbergh and Sawchik's behind-the-scenes reporting reveals:How the 2017 Astros and 2018 Red Sox used cutting-edge technology to win the World SeriesHow undersized afterthoughts José Altuve and Mookie Betts became big sluggers and MVPsHow polarizing pitcher Trevor Bauer made himself a Cy Young contenderHow new analytical tools have overturned traditional pitching and hitting techniquesHow a wave of young talent is making MLB both better than ever and arguably worse to watchInstead of out-drafting, out-signing, and out-trading their rivals, baseball's best minds have turned to out-developing opponents, gaining greater edges than ever by perfecting prospects and eking extra runs out of older athletes who were once written off. Lindbergh and Sawchik take us inside the transformation of former fringe hitters into home-run kings, show how washed-up pitchers have emerged as aces, and document how coaching and scouting are being turned upside down. The MVP Machine charts the future of a sport and offers a lesson that goes beyond baseball: Success stems not from focusing on finished products, but from making the most of untapped potential.
