This new monograph tells a compelling story of injustice and passionate resistance to religious persecution in the last years of Queen Elizabeth's reign. Through an analysis of a sensational series of demonic possessions and exorcisms, it highlights the existence of controversies in print in the late Elizabethan period of the kind that would one day lead to civil war. This book is the first full-length, analytical study of the pamphlet controversy surrounding John Darrell, a rebellious 'puritan', and his group of exorcists.
Well-researched coloring book dramatically captures the danger, hardships, tedium, and lighter moments in the life of a Civil War soldier. 45 realistically rendered illustrations depict new recruits saying good-bye to loved ones, trying on uniforms, spending a relaxed evening in camp, posing for a photographer, facing a cavalry attack, and much more.
This book examines the notion of a law of obligations as a conceptual category in itself; and, in doing this, it presents the foundational material in a context that draws on some comparative and theoretical ideas while, at the same time, emphasising the special characteristics of the common law. The book is specifically designed to act as an introduction to the legal research skills of reasoning and method. It also looks at the foundations of civil liability in a way that emphasises the interrelationship of source materials, problem solving and conceptual analysis and justification.
The Long Shadow of the Civil War: Southern Dissent and Its Legacies
In The Long Shadow of the Civil War, Victoria Bynum relates uncommon narratives about common Southern folks who fought not with the Confederacy, but against it. Focusing on regions in three Southern states--North Carolina, Mississippi, and Texas--Bynum introduces Unionist supporters, guerrilla soldiers, defiant women, socialists, populists, free blacks, and large interracial kin groups that belie stereotypes of the South and of Southerners as uniformly supportive of the Confederate cause.
A look at the operational art of war as practised in the Gulf conflict, as seen through the eyes of General Frederick M. Francks, Jr. General Francks commanded the armour and infantry of VII Corps, the main coalition force that broke the back of Iraq's Republican Guard. He is also the first amputee active-duty general since the American Civil War. This book tells the story of the transformation of an army traumatized by the legacy of Vietnam, and the metamorphosis of a man devastated by the loss of a leg in that war.
