Adventures of a Church Historian
Adventures of a Church Historian details how Leonard J. Arrington opened up archival resources and presided, for a time, over an unprecedented era of enlightenment as he and those working under his aegis produced path-breaking works of Mormon scholarship. Arrington was the first professional historian and the first noncentral authority to serve as church historian of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a position he held from 1972 to 1982. Arrington's church appointment came at a crucial point in LDS history, when the institution was being transformed from a regional church whose ecclesiastical hierarchy directly presided over its congregants into a modern, worldwide church with an elaborate bureaucracy. His description of conducting research in the LDS Church Archives in the days of Elder Joseph Fielding Smith and Brother A. Will Lund provides a rare glimpse into the inner workings of the LDS First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. Riveting chapters on the actions of the controversial Historical Department reveal details of Arrington's release and replacement as the old system gave way to the new.
Reflections of a Mormon Historian
For more than a century the history of the American Frontier, particularly the West, has been the speciality of the Arthur H. Clark Company. We publish new books, both interpretive and documentary, in small, high-quality editions for the collector, researcher, and library.
Power and the Inattention to Obstacles and Social Constraint
Four experiments explore the psychological effects that power has on the possessor of power. Recent studies have suggested that power activates the behavioral approach system (Keltner, Gruenfeld, & Anderson, in press) and leads directly to action (Galinsky, Gruenfeld, & Magee, 2003). The current research shows that power assists individuals in overcoming natural inhibitions and constraints that exist in the social environment and can lead to disobedience, nonconformity, and even dissonance. Power can thus free a person from internal conflict in some cases (e.g., allowing for the expression of attitudes that don't conform to the pressure from others) and create internal conflict in others (e.g., arousing dissonance and leading to shifts in attitudes). The discussion focuses on how the social consequences of inattention to social constraint can either be prosocial and antisocial.
