Holocaust, Israel, and Canadian Protestant Churches
Genizi (history, Bar Ilan U., Israel) explores the reasons and content of discourse on Israel of Canada's major Protestant churches, with special attention to the editorial opinions of the vocal church leader A.C. Forrest, editor of the United Church Observer. Genizi, who spent an extended period in Canadian archives for his research, details the stance on Israel of the United Church and the Canadian Council of Churches through the 1990s. He devotes an initial chapter to the traditional negative view of Jews common to Christian theology. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
The New Engineering Contract
The introduction of the New Engineering Contract (NEC) encourages a systematic approach to contracting which is multidisciplinary in nature and fully interlocked in form. The NEC is intended by its supporters to be more flexible and easier to use than any current leading traditional standard forms of contract. It is believed that these features reduce adversariality and disputes. The NEC seeks to achieve this aim primarily through co-operative management techniques and incentives built into the NEC's procedures. This commentary analyses and evaluates these and related claims of innovation. The New Engineering Contract: A legal commentary examines the background to the NEC, its design objecti...
White Ethics and Black Power
The disparity between the ideal, a democratic America, and the reality, racial oppression and poverty, is so great that serious voices among blacks, students, and others challenged the ethical foundations of the nation in the 1960s. Local political organizations emerging out of black ghettos led a black revolt, asserting a revolutionary black nationalism rather than social reform and integration. For those blacks, white America could no longer dictate right and wrong, and certainly could no longer tell blacks how best to pursue their goals. This feeling was so strong among the adherents of the new militant movements formed under the political symbolism of "black power" that they questioned a...
Satan's Child
Why do educated people allow other’s to manipulate them? It is astonishing when people follow blindly, without thinking for themselves. Some believe everything they read or allow other’s to tell them how to think and feel. Although this is a fictional story, it was based on a true, but bizarre occurrence. SATAN’S CHILD is a story of a small child who was murdered by her mother and of how god-fearing people allowed this to occur. This is a story about a sociopathic woman who the local church tried to save from the clutches of Satan, only to be manipulated by her into believing a child has to die to earn them glory with God. Sue Vaughn, the mother of six-year-old namesake, Susie Vaughn, falls in love with her dentist and sets out to get him. The dentist who is a womanizer sets about to draw Sue into his church. Together they manipulate the town’s people and use them for there own gains. Moral corruption runs amuck thought the small town.
Remembering for the Future
Focused on 'The Holocaust in an Age of Genocide', Remembering for the Future brings together the work of nearly 200 scholars from more than 30 countries and features cutting-edge scholarship across a range of disciplines, amounting to the most extensive and powerful reassessment of the Holocaust ever undertaken. In addition to its international scope, the project emphasizes that varied disciplinary perspectives are needed to analyze and to check the genocidal forces that have made the Twentieth century so deadly. Historians and ethicists, psychologists and literary scholars, political scientists and theologians, sociologists and philosophers - all of these, and more, bring their expertise to bear on the Holocaust and genocide. Their contributions show the new discoveries that are being made and the distinctive approaches that are being developed in the study of genocide, focusing both on archival and oral evidence, and on the religious and cultural representation of the Holocaust.
Domestic Battleground
Few international issues have aroused as much passionate interest and political activity among Canadians. The contest on "the domestic battleground" has been decisive in determining Canada's policies in the Middle East. The Domestic Battleground provides the history and background needed to understand Canadian attitudes toward both the explosive unrest occurring in the West Bank and Gaza Strip and the participants in the conflict - Israel, the Palestinians, and the rest of the Arab world. Taras and Goldberg analyse the struggles over the levers of decision making in Ottawa and the battle between moral stances and convictions that has taken place among concerned Canadians. The Domestic Battle...
Cryptozoology A To Z
The ultimate quest for the world's most mysterious creatures The Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, the Abominable Snowman -- these are the names of the elusive beasts that have caught the eye and captured the imaginations of people around the world for centuries. Recently, tales of these "monsters" have been corroborated by an increase in sightings, and out of these legends a new science has been born: cryptozoology -- the study of hidden animals. Cryptozoology A to Z, the first encyclopedia of its kind, contains nearly two hundred entries, including cryptids (the name given to these unusual beasts), new animal finds, and the explorers and scientists who search for them. Loren Coleman, one of the world's leading cryptozoologists, teams up with Jerome Clark, editor and author of several encyclopedias, to provide these definitive descriptions and many never-before-published drawings and photographs from eyewitnesses' detailed accounts. Full of insights into the methods of these scientists, exciting tales of discovery, and the history and evolution of this field, Cryptozoology A to Z is the most complete reference ever of the newest zoological science.
