In his new book, Richard Fenn looks at the way in which we experience time in a secular society. He argues that secularization is virtually synonymous with individualism. Fenn shows that the Church created the idea of individualism through its demysitification of the universe, its insistence on individual self-discipline, and its intensification of individual responsibility for the use of time. Required to take responsibility for his or her own standing in the eyes of God, the individual emerged from the protection of the Church into the full current of time. No longer protected by Providence or connected to Eternity, our lives have become radically temporal and contingent. Fenn explores the modern experience of time, as expressed in such phrases as "wasting time" and "making up for lost time." In particular, he is interested in the idea of waiting, which he believes is a defining characteristic of modern life. He also argues that the secularization of time produced anxiety about death, and shows the various strategies we have created for dealing with this anxiety. Beautifully written and thoughtfully argued, this volume raises the secularization debate to a new level of depth and sophistication.

This is the story of a love affair with a place. In the late 1950s, the author was the first West Ender to move to Limehouse, and he then ran a pub there, the Waterman's Arms, on the Isle of Dogs.

Editor Gregory Baum poses the question, "Why do you think the way you do?" to some of the most influential North American Catholic thinkers. A provocative insight into modern theological patterns and into the men and women responsible for some of the most influential writing in Catholic life in the late 20th century. Baum believes that, as there isa "sociology of knowledge" relating concepts and truth to the social background in which they emerge and prosper, so there ought to be a "psychology of knowledge" connecting people's intellectual approach to the significant events of their biography.

"John Bell Hood's Advance and Retreat is a passionate book by an officer who experienced both triumph and tragedy in full measure. A prominent participant throughout the conflict, Hood wrote an account of enduring importance for readers interested in Civil War military campaigns or postwar controversies among former Confederates."--Gary W. GallagherWhen John Bell Hood entered into the services of the Confederate Army, he was 29 years old, a handsome man and courageous soldier, loyal to the ideal of Confederate Independence and eager to fight for it. He led his men bravely into the battles of Second Manassas, Gaines's Mill, Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, and Chickamauga. He rose fast, attaining the temporary rank of full general, only to fall faster. Hood emerged from the war with his left arm shattered and useless, his right leg missing, his face aged far beyond his 33 years, and with his military reputation in disgrace. Blamed by contemporaries for contributing to the defeat of his beloved Confederacy, Hood struggled to refute their accusations. His most vehement critic, General Johnston, charged Hood with insubordination while serving under him and, after succeeding him in command, of recklessly leading Confederate troops to their "slaughter" and "useless butchery." Sherman, too, in his Memoirs, took a harsh view of Hood. Born of controversy, Advance and Retreat is of course a highly controversial book. It is also full of invaluable information and insights into the retreat from Dalton in early 1864, the fighting around Atlanta, and the disastrous Tennessee Campaign in winter of that year. Far from being a careful, sober, objective account, this book is the passionate, bitter attempt of a soldier to rebut history's judgment of himself as general and man.With an introduction by Richard M. McMurry

Prisons and Prisoners is the autobiography of aristocratic suffragette Constance Lytton. In it, she details her militant actions in the struggle to gain the vote for women, including her masquerade and imprisonment as the working-class “Jane Warton.” As a member of a well-known political family (and grand-daughter of the famous novelist Edward Bulwer-Lytton), Lytton's arrests garnered much attention at the time, but she was treated differently than other suffragettes because of her class―when other suffragettes were forcibly fed while on hunger strikes, she was released. “Jane Warton,” however, was forcibly fed, an act that permanently damaged Lytton’s health, but that also became a singular moment in the history of women’s and prisoner’s rights. This Broadview edition includes news articles, reviews, and illustrations on women’s suffrage from the periodicals of the time.

From the people who lived through extraordinary and terrible times--the air raid wardens, the Home Guard, the Land Army, the families pulled apart and the communities brought together--real life stories of Britain under fire during World War II. Revisiting an era brought to life with the vivid re-telling of events, this is a book written by the people who survived the war from their own homes and in their own workplaces. From the cities come stories of the bomb shelters and munitions factories; recollections of getting on with life when everything was in tatters. From the coasts and the countryside the Britons who worked to keep the nation fed and who took in the children of stangers when they were evacuated to safety, tell their story. Here too are tales of liasons with American Gis, and the relationship of the public with Italian POWs. Voices from the Home Front offers a collection of viewpoints that will strike a chord of familiarity for all those that share these living memories. It is also an opportunity to reflect on the resilience of a nation at war, the humor and the strength that such times inspired even in the face of hardship and tragedy.

The Battle of Arnhem remains a much-studied and discussed battle, with an uninterrupted flow of books being published about it. Helion are bringing back into print a fascinating eyewitness account that has remained overlooked since it was last published shortly after the battle itself. The 1st Polish Parachute Brigade played both an important and controversial role at Arnhem. The author, a Pole himself, was attached to the Brigade, saw action at Arnhem and managed to escape capture and return to Allied lines. He penned his account within weeks of returning, and as a result With the Red Devils at Arnhem has a tremendous freshness and appeal sometimes lacking in material written years afterwards. He offers a vivid insight into the experiences of the Poles at Arnhem, written in an exciting and lively manner. The Helion reprint has been expanded by airborne forces' expert and author Niall Cherry's additional notes providing further information and context. This book is a forgotten gem within the canon of Arnhem literature.

Jane Dunlap's book is an account of a series of experiments, conducted through the medium of LSD-25, then a recently discovered and extremely powerful hallucinogenic drug. The author of this book volunteered to be the subject of an early experiment employing lysergic acid diethylamide, or LSD-25. Her duty was to record in detail her visions while under the drug. She used the pseudonym Jane Dunlap for reasons that became obvious when her true identity was revealed. LSD-25 is simply the long form of the drug LSD. There is no difference between LSD and LSD-25. LSD has been used with apparent success by many famous people. Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Inc., said, "Taking LSD was a profound experience, one of the most important things in my life."
