He had already published more than one book on this same section of Scripture but the forceful, spoken-style of these pages, and the simplicity with which he presents his final thoughts on the key issue in Genesis 1-3, makes this one of the most readable and important of all his writings. Nothing was of greater concern to him than that the Church should speak plainly and boldly on the inspired record of man's creation and fall, and he demonstrates how a full acceptance of the divine authority of the Bible is essential to the proper interpretation of the Genesis narrative. - Back cover.".

Chesterton are famous, it avoids explicit advocation for that economic system. This book lays out, in very broad outline, Belloc's version of European economic history: starting with ancient states, where slavery was critical to the economy, through the medieval economies based on serf and peasant labor, to capitalism. Belloc argues that the development of capitalism was not a natural consequence of the Industrial Revolution, but a consequence of the earlier dissolution of the monasteries in England, which then shaped the course of English industrialization.".

The conference emphasized urban areas that had or were having success in implementing TSM actions. Three major issues were highlighted in the presentations as well as during the discussion of implementation of individual TSM actions. The issues are: TSM as a planning process and the role of metropolitan planning organizations in that process, perceived conflict between short-term and long-range transportation objectives and public involvement and acceptance of TSM actions.".

The book focuses on the activities of Southern liberals between the First World War, when Jim Crow was at its zenith, and the celebrated 1954 Supreme Court decision, Brown v. Board of Education, which banned school segregation. This period witnessed an upsurge of lynchings in 1919, the Great Depression, the New Deal, World War II, the Cold War, and the development of an organized civil rights movement, all of which profoundly affected the way Southern liberals perceived their region's racial dilemma.".

- catalog abstract "This book, written by a police psychiatrist, stresses the importance of selecting the best possible candidates for police work and the need for openly confronting personnel and recruitment problems. It is important to talk about inherent difficulties of police work, the lack of proper selection procedures and adequate supervision, and the lack of appropriate administrative procedures. A major problem is that police recruitment officials do not select the best possible individuals for police duty. Approximately 35 percent of all police officers are estimated to be psychologically unsuited for police work and should never have been hired. When weaknesses inevitably develop in police departments, officers encountering problems are often not assisted by department administrators. Interviewing entry-level candidates for police work is referred to as the psychotherapeutic interview, and this type of interviewing requires the use of psychiatrists in all phases of personnel selection and promotion and inservice counseling if it is to be successful. The first part of the book contains a chronological account of the author's work with members of a municipal police department and city council in California. The second part of the book deals with police officers and their families, departments, and profession and with the role of police in crime prevention. An appendix explores psychological dynamics and the rescue fantasy motivation aspect of police work. A bibliography, a reader's guide, and an index are included.".

- catalog abstract "Qu'était la philosophie et qui étaient les philosophes pour le fondateur de la psychanalyse? D'un côté, Freud n'a pas de formules assez tranchantes pour débouter la philosophie de ses prétentions comme "vision du monde" et souligner son primat de la conscience, incompatible avec le savoir de l'inconscient ; d'autre part, on observe la récurrence, tout au long de son uvre, de références aux philosophes comme anticipant les découvertes analytiques. L'auteur se propose donc de sonder la critique freudienne de la philosophie en s'appuyant sur l'ensemble des occurrences, puis de dégager son "explication", voire son diagnostic sur la "chose philosophique". En un second temps, se trouve examinée la "galaxie philosophique" freudienne, soit le sens de la référence philosophique dans la démarche métapsychologique ainsi que son rapport privilégié à Platon et à Kant, à Schopenhauer et à Nietzsche. Enfin, se trouve analysé l'ensemble des allusions aux figures philosophiques qui permet de situer Freud au regard de l'histoire de la philosophie. -- Publisher description.".

- catalog abstract "This book presents a sequence of rereading and reading skills deemed essential for individuals at the pre-reading and early reading levels. Beginning with the elements of language development, it moves through basic decoding and comprehension skills. While this book could be used as a cookbook, hopefully it will not be. The skills and methods are the warp and woof of the philosophy of reading and are supported by research evidence to encourage a deeper understanding of the reading process and of the most effective means of helping children to master that process. Much of this book is devoted to an explanation of the why of instruction. Unless we as teachers constantly evaluate why, we get into a rut and continue doing what we have always done and only because we have always done it. The contents are limited to reading and reading related activities. - Introduction.".
