American Literature and the Universe of Force
Traces the scientific and philosophical expansion of the concept of "force" in the 19th century, particularly in the work of Herbert Spencer, whose "Synthetic Philosophy" made the idea available to a wide range of writers. Details how Spencer helped to shape social ideals, ethical standards and the way people conceived of their place metaphysically in a period that was dominated by secular and scientific thought. Martin scrutinizes the force theory as it influenced the history of science, theological and philosophical discourse, popular culture and fiction. Also studies four American naturalists -- Henry Adams, Frank Norris, Jack London and Theodore Dreiser.

Globalisation, Poverty and Conflict
This state-of-the-art critical ‘development’ reader examines the inter-relationships between globalisation, poverty and conflict. It complements current debates in the field of development studies and, in an era in which development fatigue seems to have become more profound than ever before, it brings the importance of development once again to the forefront. The contributions represent current thinking on (and practice of) development policy, poverty reduction, the need for multi-level democratic institutions, and the containing and prevention of conflicts.

Julie Billiart, Woman of Courage
"Julie Billiart was born into the turmoil just before the French Revolution, and lived its horrors at the same time that she had to bear terrible personal physical handicaps. Yet she faced her circumstances with exceptional courage, profound faith, and a simple goodness that was the impetus for her unparalleled perseverance in the face of adversity." "Her example of trust in God against overwhelming odds drew many young women to her side, and she fought tirelessly to found and establish the great religious community of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. Two centuries later, still faithful to her vision of service to the poor and to women, it has spread in numerous branches throughout the world." "Julie experienced many elements of the problems we are facing today: violence, confusion of theologies, defections from religion, lack of priests and religious teachers, anti-Catholicism and misunderstandings regarding the role of women in the Church. But she became a saint through it all. Her fascinating story gives us hope."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
