Описание: When the 1952 presidential election campaign began, many assumed it would be a race between Harry Truman, seeking his second full term, and Robert A. Taft, son of a former president and, to many of his fellow partisans, “Mr. Republican.” No one imagined the party standard bearers would be Illinois governor Adlai E. Stevenson II and Supreme Allied Commander in World War II, Dwight D. Eisenhower.. I Like Ike tells the story of a critical election fought between two avowedly reluctant warriors, including Truman’s efforts to recruit Eisenhower as the candidate of the Democrat Party—to a finish that, for all the partisan wrangling, had more to do with the extraordinary popularity of the former general, who, along with Stevenson, was seen to be somehow above politics.In the first book to analyze the 1952 election in its entirety, political historian John Robert Greene looks in detail at how Stevenson and Eisenhower faced demands that they run for an office neither originally wanted. He examines the campaigns of their opponents—Harry Truman and Robert Taft, but also Estes Kefauver, Richard B. Russell, Averell Harriman and Earl Warren. Richard Nixon’s famous “Checkers Speech,” Joseph McCarthy’s anti-Communist campaign, and television as a new medium for news and political commercials—each figured in the election in its own way; and drawing in depth on the Eisenhower, Stevenson, Taft and Nixon papers, Greene traces how.I Like Ike is a compelling account of how an America fearful of a Communist threat elected a war hero and brought an end to twenty years of Democrat control of the White House. In an era of political ferment, it also makes a timely and persuasive case for the importance of the election of 1952 not only to the Eisenhower Administration, but also to the development of presidential politics well into the future.

Описание: Even before Professor Whitehead taught us to speak of the seventeenth century as the "century of genius," many of us looked with wonder on the creativity of the men who produced religious and philosophical literature in that period of contro- versy and of power.
Описание: This pioneering book explores for the first time how ordinary women of the early modern period in England understood and experienced their bodies. Using letters, popular literature, and detailed legal records from courts that were obsessively concerned with regulating morals, the book recaptures seventeenth-century popular understandings of sex and reproduction. This history of the female body is at once intimate and wide-ranging, with sometimes startling insights about the extent to which early modern women maintained, or forfeited, control over their own bodies. Laura Gowing explores the ways social and economic pressures of daily life shaped the lived experiences of bodies: the cost of having a child, the vulnerability of being a servant, the difficulty of prosecuting rape, the social ambiguities of widowhood. She explains how the female body was governed most of all by other women--wives and midwives. Gowing casts new light on beliefs and practices of the time concerning women's bodies and provides an original perspective on the history of women and gender.
Описание: An interdisciplinary study examining the newspaper industry in Argentina during the regime of Juan Domingo Peron. Traces how Peron managed to integrate almost the entire Argentine press into a state-dominated media empire.
What does it mean to be one of the elect? Am I one of the elect? How can I know if I am one of God's elect? Believers are filled with questions like these because God has placed the sense of eternity in the heart of every human being. We all think about our place in eternity, which leads us to contemplate the mysteries of election and predestination.
If you've ever wondered if you are part of God's elect, then this book will be very meaningful to you. Drawing from a lifetime of research and Scripture study, the author invites you on a journey of discovery of the spiritual lostness of mankind, where God's redemptive grace answers every question and what-if. In this book you will read about
- the background of election and predestination throughout church history,
- the many supporters and preachers of the doctrine throughout the ages, and
- the personal examples and illustrations from ongoing spiritual struggles in people's lives.
Students of the Word will recognize that God's primary mercy and compassion in the gift of redemption and salvation is displayed in individuals through the majesty of election and predestination in every generation.
