In this superb cultural history, John R. Hall presents a reasoned analysis of the meaning of Jonestown--why it happened and how it is tied to our history as a nation, our ideals, our practices, and the tension of modern culture. Hall deflates the myths of Jonestown by exploring how much of what transpired was unique to the group and its leader and how much can be explained by reference to wider social processes.
Women in Pentecostal and Charismatic Ministry: Informing a Dialogue on Gender, Church, and Ministry, co-edited by Margaret English de Alminana and Lois E. Olena, concerns women and Pentecostalism. It introduces the way the Pentecostal/charismatic movement has been shaped by and has shaped women from its beginning and offers a wide variety of responses to the opportunities and limitations women have experienced in their commitment to religious service. Scholars, activists, leaders, and exemplars from a variety of disciplines reflect on the question: How have women responded to a religious context that has depended upon their gifts while, at the same time, limited their voices and perspectives...
When over 900 followers of the Peoples Temple religious group committed suicide in 1978, they left a legacy of suspicion and fear. Most accounts of this mass suicide describe the members as brainwashed dupes and overlook the Christian and socialist ideals that originally inspired Peoples Temple members. Hearing the Voices of Jonestown restores the individual voices that have been erased so that we can better understand what was created—and destroyed—at Jonestown, and why. Piecing together information from interviews with former group members, archival research, and diaries and letters of those who died there, Maaga describes the women leaders as educated political activists who were pass...
Research into the cytoskeleton has produced a long list of polypeptides, whose properties "in vitro" have been studied in varying degrees of detail. The aim of this book is to introduce students to this array of proteins.
What are the filaments responsible for the texture of cytoplasm and what are their roles in eukaryotic cells? To examine these questions, this volume describes the properties of the individual proteins of the cytoskeleton and their assembly into the filamentous structures that are responsible for the remarkably stiff consistency of cytoplasm. By covering the nature of the cytoskeleton at a molecular level, the book provides the reader with insight into the interactions responsible for the form and motility of the cytoskeleton. Further, it presents analysis and critical discussion on current theories of how such components interact during such processes as intracellular transport, translocation of whole cells, and subdivision. Ideal for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate classes, MOLECULES OF THE CYTOSKELETON provides questions at the end of each chapter to help students test their understanding of the main points. The book also serves as a useful summary of the field for anyone working on cell motility or other aspects of the cytoplasm.

William Amos (ca1690-1759) came from England to Maryland as a young man. He married Ann in January 1713 at Joppa Maryland. His children are Thomas (1713-1763), Elizabeth (1715-ca1759) and William (1718-1814). This book traces their descendants to the present in Maryland, North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania and elsewhere in the United States.
