Their Lives: The Women Targeted by the Clinton Machine
Candice E. Jackson
2005
Bill Clinton rose to the White House proclaiming himself a supporter of women's rights, but this shocking expose reveals a pattern of disturbing actions that render his rhetoric hollow. Combining in-depth research and first-hand accounts, Candice E. Jackson proves that Clinton used his political power to harass, intimidate and terrorize the women who got in his way. And while Jackson stops short of morally condemning the former president for his philandering, her research uncovers an undeniable link between his liberal beliefs and misogynistic behavior. It's a discovery that should concern women everywhere, given that Hillary Clinton, his eager accomplice, might one day occupy the Oval Office.

Value-Centered Ethics: a Proactive System to Shape Ethical Behavior

Hidden Treasures of the American West: Muriel H. Wright, Angie Debo, and Alice Marriott
Patricia Loughlin
2005
Scholars of the American West have largely overlooked the lives and work of three women public historians who, in the 1930s and 1940s, produced some of the most important writings about Oklahoma and the Southwest. In Hidden Treasures of the American West, Patricia Loughlin illuminates the contributions of Muriel H. Wright, Angie Debo, and Alice Marriott to the study of the West and American Indians.
Muriel Wright, an Oklahoma Choctaw, promoted Oklahoma history in her writings for the Chronicles of Oklahoma, a journal published by the Oklahoma Historical Society. Wright focused on the progress, strength, and endurance of American Indian cultures.
Angie Debo, Wright's contemporary, studied American Indian history and Oklahoma's distinct identity as a place of frontier possibilities and American Indian settlement. She participated in the larger, national discourse concerning the history of the United States and the history of the American Indians, revisiting issues she thought were misrepresented in previous accounts.
Alice Marriott, an anthropologist, was known within the discipline as a pioneer of experimental ethnography, but she never enjoyed the respect her output deserved. Marriott strove to convince collectors that Indian arts and crafts from Oklahoma were just as authentic and valuable as those from Arizona or New Mexico.
Patricia Loughlin sketches the biographies of these influential women including their significant texts that contributed greatly to Oklahoma historiography, their establishment of new methodologies, and their understanding of state and regional history, federal Indian policy, and interpretations of American Indian cultures.

The Constitutional Convention: A Narrative History from the Notes of James Madison
James Madison, Edward J. Larson, and Michael P. Winship
2005
In 1787, the American union was in disarray. The incompatible demands of the separate states threatened its existence; some states were even in danger of turning into the kind of tyranny they had so recently deposed. A truly national government was needed, one that could raise money, regulate commerce, and defend the states against foreign threats–without becoming as overbearing as England. So thirty-six-year-old James Madison believed. That summer, the Virginian was instrumental in organizing the Constitutional Convention, in which one of the world’s greatest documents would be debated, created, and signed. Inspired by a sense of history in the making, he kept the most extensive notes of any attendee.Now two esteemed scholars have made these minutes accessible to everyone.

The Force of Tradition: Response and Resistance in Literature, Religion, and Cultural Studies
Donald G. Marshall
2005
"How do we stand in relation to everything that comes down to us from the past? Is the very idea of tradition still useful in the wake of historical ruptures such as the Holocaust, changes in the canon, and the end of colonialism? Suspicion of tradition as culturally narrow and oppressive is a persistent theme of modernity and has increased with the resurgence of religious traditionalism around the globe. At the same time, various groups demanding recognition for their distinctive cultural identity have reclaimed their traditions.""The essays in this volume offer analyses of religious, literary, and cultural traditions and both responses and resistance to them including works by Hans-Georg Gadamer, Josiah Rayes, Alasdair MacIntyre, Jacques Derrida, Charlotte Bronte, Soren Kierkegaard, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Edith Wharton, Chinua Achebe, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Thomas Kuhn, Donald Davidson, antebellum, African-American women preachers, and Christian and Jewish thinkers in the wake of the Holocaust, among others."--Jacket.

Science Friction: Where the Known Meets the Unknown
Michael Shermer
2005
In each of the essays in Science Friction, psychologist and science historian Michael Shermer explores the barriers and biases that plague and propel science, especially when scientists push against the boundaries of the unknown. As Shermer puts it, the challenge we all face in distinguishing facts from fiction can be summed up with a twist on a well-worn bromide: "I wouldn't have seen it if I hadn't believed it." What do we know and what do we not know? How does science respond to controversy, attack, and uncertainty? Together, these fourteen essays probe the omnipresent clash between the known and the unknown, always employing Shermer's trademark wit and intelligence.

The Science of Good and Evil: Why People Cheat, Gossip, Care, Share, and Follow the Golden Rule
Michael Shermer
2005
From bestselling author Michael Shermer, an investigation of the evolution of morality that is "a paragon of popularized science and philosophy" The Sun (Baltimore) A century and a half after Darwin first proposed an "evolutionary ethics," science has begun to tackle the roots of morality. Just as evolutionary biologists study why we are hungry (to motivate us to eat) or why sex is enjoyable (to motivate us to procreate), they are now searching for the very nature of humanity. In The Science of Good and Evil, science historian Michael Shermer explores how humans evolved from social primates to moral primates; how and why morality motivates the human animal; and how the foundation of moral principles can be built upon empirical evidence. Along the way he explains the implications of scientific findings for fate and free will, the existence of pure good and pure evil, and the development of early moral sentiments among the first humans. As he closes the divide between science and morality, Shermer draws on stories from the Yanamamouml;, infamously known as the "fierce people" of the tropical rain forest, to the Stanford studies on jailers' behavior in prisons. The Science of Good and Evil is ultimately a profound look at the moral animal, belief, and the scientific pursuit of truth.

Falling Away: Why Christians Lose Their Faith & What Can be Done About It
Brian Simmons
2005
How can a son, raised in an authentically Christian home, reach adulthood and then make the choice to walk away from the faith he has learned since infancy...while his sister, raised in the same home and circumstances, grows into a sure, stable, and closely-treasured belief in God and his promises? Why do people from mixed marriages fall away from the church more often? What are the signs that an adolescent is having something more than a normal identity crisis? How can Christians respond to deep, probing questions of faith from those who are struggling, without closing the door on their return to the Christian fellowship?
Drawing on the latest sociological, psychological, and religious research - and most importantly, drawing on the wisdom of Scripture - Brian Simmons seeks to answer these and other important questions about the process, implications, and consequences of apostasy. A must-read for anyone who's ever questioned the faith - or loved someone who did.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom: Rebellion and the Blasphemy of Empire
Thomas H. Reilly
2004
"In this study, Reilly emphasizes the Christian elements of the Taiping faith, showing how Protestant missionaries built on earlier Catholic efforts to translate Christianity into a Chinese idiom. Prior studies of the rebellion have failed to appreciate how Hong Xiuquan's interpretation of Christianity connected the Taiping faith to an imperial Chinese cultural and religious context." "This book makes a major contribution to the study of the Taiping Rebellion and to our understanding of the ideology of both the rebels and the traditional imperial system they opposed. It will appeal to scholars in the fields of Chinese history, religion, and culture and of Christian theology and church history."--Jacket
