Matthew Fontaine Maury, Father of Oceanography
In becoming "a useful man" on the maritime stage, Matthew Fontaine Maury focused on the ills of a clique-ridden Navy, charted sea lanes and bested Great Britain's admiralty in securing the fastest, safest routes to India and Australia. He helped bind the Old and New worlds with the laying of the transatlantic cable, forcefully advocated Southern rights in a troubled union, and preached Manifest Destiny from the Arctic to Cape Horn. And he revolutionized warfare in perfecting electronically detonated mines. Maury's eagerness to go to the public on the questions of the day riled powerful men in business and politics, and the U.S., Confederate and Royal navies. He more than once ran afoul of Jefferson Davis and Stephen R. Mallory, secretary of the Confederate States Navy. But through the political, social and scientific struggles of his time, Maury had his share of powerful allies, like President John Tyler.

Gospel of Matthew, The
"This study guide is the second in a new Paulist Press series - The Bible: Question by Question. It provides an interactive, dynamic, and more engaging way to study the Bible by inviting the reader to read the entire Gospel of Matthew in the context of certain fundamental recurring themes. This distinctive guide also helps readers and group-discussion leaders to relate the gospel text to their own Christian experience and to that of the contemporary Church." "This unique format, which was initially developed by William Miller in his commentary on the Book of Genesis, engages the reader in thoughtful interaction with the actual text. The introduction and conclusion in each chapter also provide material found in no other traditional commentaries." "This book, along with the entire Bible: Question by Question series, is ideal for use by adult bible-study groups, by introductory scripture courses in colleges, universities, and seminaries, as well as by individuals interested in personal study."--BOOK JACKET.
