Obey

The Power of Love and Surrender

By: Alec C. Zacaroli

Jesus is very candid about what He calls us to do, whether its prayer, love, confession, judgment, or even just to trust in Him. But often the last thing we do is the first thing He requires, which is to simply obey. Obey is a candid look at the way Jesus calls us to live through His words and commands. It is a reflection of one followers journey, beginning on a mission in poor, rural South Africa, to fully appreciate the power of obedience to Jesus. What he found was that Jesus never gave unclear, ambiguous instructions for lifeHe was very straightforward. While His commands are not always easy, they are life-changing for those who choose to listen, pray, and act on them. Obey provides a challenging, but inspirational, starting point to achieving the power of the obedient life.

Managing the Literacy Curriculum

By: Michael Beveridge,Malcolm Reed,Alec Webster

This book focuses on a critical period for pupils between the ages of nine and thirteen when the demands made on children's literacy change fundamentally, and when children establish life-time patterns of reading and non-reading. It provides a framework for teachers and managers to help set up a whole-school approach to literacy, based on a series of steps which enable managers to find out how literacy is perceived by teachers and effectively used within classroom contexts. Practical guidance on how schools can help pupils who have literacy difficulties, on methods of assessment and reporting, and on how outside agencies can be involved will be particularly helpful to teachers and heads of department.

This One!

By: Alec Aylat

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

This One!

By: Alec Aylat

This One! is a personal report by journalist and former Reuters correspondent Alec Aylat. Replete with scores of amusing anecdotes, it portrays a man with five (and a half) identities and a wry sense of humor, who has decided to reveal all. Recent reviews: in the nationally circulated monthly "Hadassah Magazine" (Feb. 2002 issue): "Aylat tells his story with wit and insight.... A good and funny memoir." In the New Jersey Jewish News (Jan. 22, 2002): "The value of Aylat ́s work lies in his hilarious recollections of life in Israel." Now also an historical document, This One! is in the library of the Palmach museum in Tel Aviv. (The Palmach was the striking force of the pre-state Haganah). This One! covers the author’s youth in Scotland, his dramatic role with the BBC in England, service with the Jewish Brigade Group of the British Army in World War II and the actions of the underground Haganah in the Brigade in spiriting displaced Jews to Palestine, his participation in Israel’s struggle for independence, and his provocative activities in Israel, Canada and America. This One! opens in a kibbutz in pre-state Israel where he is known by a name other than his original Scottish one. It already is his third identity which he will change yet again. Aylat ́s report covers his joust with the Admiralty in London, his years as partner, creative director and copywriter in Israel’s leading advertising agency, and his acting career, the latter experience saving him from a court-martial. Prior to the establishment of the State of Israel he is shot at by Arab marauders, besieged by Arabs in his kibbutz and goes to the defense of another kibbutz under Arab attack. He participates in the founding of a new kibbutz at dead of night in British Mandatory Palestine, and describes the Haganah ́s planning, work and deception which go into building an illegal bridge across the River Jordan. His detailed revelations of the infamous “Black Sabbath” operation, in which he was involved, when the Mandate’s army and police forces raided Jewish homes in towns and kibbutzim, arresting thousands of men and women, discloses incidents never before made public. As a newspaperman he covers events in Israel’s capital and goes to the U.S. where he lectures for Israel ́s information office. He returns to Jerusalem where he chases a monkey through the streets of the capital, and is suspected of spying by Israel’s Shin Bet. His aliases mount as he switches identities to conceal his past and his present. Now a marketing strategist, he is sent to Canada for a two-year stint on behalf of Haifa University, and goes back to the U.S. to foster good relations between the AFL-CIO and Israel’s labor federation. Reporting on the local New Jersey community near Princeton, where he is living and commuting between Israel and the States, he writes satirical articles, and brings This One! to its incredible conclusion.

The Penguin History of the Church

The Church in an Age of Revolution

By: Alec Vidler

The French Revolution dealt a fatal blow to the alliance of Church and State. The Christian church had to adapt to great changes - from the social upheavals of the Industrial Revolution to the philosophical speculations of Kant's 'Copernican revolution', to Darwin's evolutionary theories. Some Christians were driven to panic and blind reaction, others were inspired to re-interpret their faith; the results of this conflict within the fabric of the Church are still reverberating today. In this masterly appraisal of a doubt-ridden and turbulent period in Christianity Alec Vidler concludes with a discussion of the position of the Church in modern times and expertly answers the question: 'Has the Church stood up to the Age of Revolution?

Empires of the Imagination

A Critical Survey of Fantasy Cinema from Georges Melies to The Lord of the Rings

By: Alec Worley

The warlocks and ghosts of fantasy film haunt our popular culture, but the genre has too long been ignored by critics. This comprehensive critical survey of fantasy cinema demonstrates that the fantasy genre amounts to more than escapism. Through a meticulously researched analysis of more than a century of fantasy pictures--from the seminal work of Georges Melies to Peter Jackson's recent tours of Middle-earth--the work identifies narrative strategies and their recurring components and studies patterns of challenge and return, setting and character. First addressing the difficult task of defining the genre, the work examines fantasy as a cultural force in both film and literature and explores its relation to science fiction, horror, and fairy tales. Fantasy's development is traced from the first days of film, with emphasis on how the evolving genre reflected such events as economic depression and war. Also considered is fantasy's expression of politics, as either the subject of satire or fuel for the fires of propaganda. Discussion ventures into the subgenres, from stories of invented lands inhabited by fantastic creatures to magical adventures set in the familiar world, and addresses clashes between fantasy and faith, such as the religious opposition to the Harry Potter phenomenon. From the money-making classics to little-known arthouse films, this richly illustrated work covers every aspect of fantasy film.

John Kasper and Ezra Pound

Saving the Republic

By: Alec Marsh

John Kasper was a militant far-right activist who first came to prominence with his violent campaigns against desegregation in the Civil Rights era. Ezra Pound was the seminal figure in Anglo-American modernist literature and one of the most important poets of the 20th century. This is the first book to comprehensively explore the extensive correspondence - lasting over a decade and numbering hundreds of letters - between the two men. John Kasper and Ezra Pound examines the mutual influence the two men exerted on each other in Pound's later life: how John Kasper developed from a devotee of Pound's poetry to an active right-wing agitator; how Pound's own ideas about race and American politics developed in his discussions with Kasper and how this informed his later poetry. Shedding a disturbing new light on Ezra Pound's committed engagement with extreme right-wing politics in Civil Rights-era America, this is an essential read for students of 20th-century literature.

Growing Up in Cambridge

From Austerity to Prosperity

By: Alec Forshaw

It is said that, however long you live, and however far you travel, the streets and fields where you played as a child will always be home to you. So Cambridge is for Alec Forshaw. This is a story of a childhood in Cambridge in the 1950s and '60s, followed by three undergraduate years and three decades of frequent and regular visits until the ties of the parental home were broken. These are memories set down before they too disappear and they recall a Cambridge which for many will have faded. Those who have read Gwen Raverat's Period Piece: A Cambridge Childhood will have seen in her description of the town and its society a different world. The reminiscences herein may rekindle more recent recollections, or simply entertain and amuse.

An Autoethnography of Becoming A Qualitative Researcher

A Dialogic View of Academic Development

By: Trude Klevan,Alec Grant

An Autoethnography of Becoming a Qualitative Researcher chronicles Trude Klevan's personal experiences of her doctoral journey, with Alec Grant as an external academic resource and friend, and her subsequent entry into the neoliberal higher education environment. It gives a personal and intimate view of what it's like to become an academic. This book is constructed as an extended dialogue which frequently utilizes email exchanges as data. Firmly grounded in the epistemic resource of friendship, it tells the story of the authors’ symbiotic academic growth around their critical understanding and knowledge of qualitative inquiry and the purposes of such knowledge. The tale told is of the unfolding of a close and mutually beneficial relationship, entangled within sometimes facilitative, sometimes problematic, environmental contexts. It uses these experiences to describe, explore, and critically interrogate some underlying themes of the philosophies, politics, and practices of qualitative inquiry, and of higher education. Disrupting conventional academic norms through their work, friendship, and correspondence, Trude and Alec offer a critical and epistemological view of what it's like to become a qualitative researcher, and how we can do things differently in higher education. This book is suitable for all researchers and students, their supervisors, mentors, and teachers, and academics of qualitative research and autoethnography, and those interested in critiques of higher education.

A History of Children's Reading and Literature

The Commonwealth and International Library: Library and Technical Information Division

By: Alec Ellis

A History of Children's Reading and Literature presents the pattern of educational activity in relation to the methods undertaken in the schools, and the extent to which books are used in the advancement of literacy. This book describes the factors that are contributory or detrimental to the growth of literacy, including educational provision, the availability of school and public libraries, the use of books in schools, and the parallel evolution of recreational literature of all kinds. Organized into 22 chapters, this book starts with an overview of the educational activity during the years of economic depression wherein economic factors resulted in a national state of social unrest that both State and Church came to recognize could be controlled only by the extension of education. This text then describes the successive educational legislation and other factors that contributed to the advancement of public libraries in the last three decades of the 19th century. This book is a valuable resource for teachers, parents, and students.

Ezra Pound's Washington Cantos and the Struggle for Light

Ezra Pound's Washington Cantos and the Struggle for Light

By: Alec Marsh

The instalments of Ezra Pound's life-project, The Cantos, composed during his incarceration in Washington after the Second World War were to have served as a "Paradiso" for his epic. Beautiful and tormented, enigmatic and irascible by turns, they express the poet's struggle to reconcile his striving for justice with his extreme Right politics. In heavily coded language, Pound was writing activist political poetry. Through an in-depth reading of the "Washington Cantos" this book reveals the ways in which Pound integrated into his verse themes and ideas that remain central to American far-right ideology to this day: States' Rights, White-supremacy and racial segregation, the usurpation of the Constitution by the Supreme Court, and history as racial struggle. Pound's struggle was also personal. These poems also celebrate his passion for his muse and lover, Sheri Martinelli, as he tries to teach her his politics and, in the final poems, mount his legal defence against the unresolved treason charges hanging over his head. Reading the poetry alongside correspondence and unpublished archival writings, Ezra Pound's Washington Cantos and the Struggle for Light is an important new work on a poet who stands at the heart of 20th-century Modernism. Building on his previous book John Kasper and Ezra Pound: Saving the Republic (Bloomsbury, 2015), Alec Marsh explores the way the political ideas revealed in Pound's correspondence manifested themselves in his later poetry.

The Judicial Construction of Europe

By: Alec Stone Sweet

The law and politics of European integration have been inseparable since the 1960s, when the European Court of Justice rendered a set of foundational decisions that gradually served to 'constitutionalize' the Treaty of Rome. In this book, Alec Stone Sweet, one of the world's foremost social scientists and legal scholars, blends deductive theory, quantitative analysis of aggregate data, and qualitative case studies to explain the dynamics of European integration and institutionalchange in the EU since 1959. He shows that the activities of market actors, lobbyists, legislators, litigators, and judges became connected to one another in various ways, giving the EU its fundamentally expansionary character. He then assesses the impact of Europe's unique legal system on the evolutionof supranational governance, tracing outcomes in three policy domains: free movement of goods, sex equality, and environmental protection. The book integrates diverse themes, including: the testing of hypotheses derived from regional integration theory; the 'judicialization' of legislative processes; the path dependence of precedent and legal argumentation; the triumph of the 'rights revolution' in the EU; delegation, agency, and trusteeship; balancing as a technique of judicial rulemaking andgovernance; and why national administration and justice have been steadily 'Europeanized'.Written for a broad audience, the book is also recommended for use in graduate and advanced undergraduate courses in law and the social sciences.

Yakuza

Japan's Criminal Underworld

By: David E. Kaplan,Alec Dubro

Known for their striking full-body tattoos and severed fingertips, Japan's gangsters comprise a criminal class eighty thousand strong--more than four times the size of the American mafia. Despite their criminal nature, the yakuza are accepted by fellow Japanese to a degree guaranteed to shock most Westerners. Yakuza is the first book to reveal the extraordinary reach of Japan's Mafia. Originally published in 1986, it was so controversial in Japan that it could not be published there for five years. But in the west it has long served as the standard reference on Japanese organized crime and has inspired novels, screenplays, and criminal investigations. This twenty-fifth anniversary edition tells the full story or Japan's remarkable crime syndicates, from their feudal start as bands of medieval outlaws to their emergence as billion-dollar investors in real estate, big business, art, and more.

Your Kingdom Come

Experience the Glory and Beauty of God’S Kingdom! Right Here! Right Now!

By: Alec N. Capay

In this book, you will discover Gods will and purpose in bringing heaven to earth. For too long, we have desired and yearned to leave earth, along with all its problems and complications, without ever longing to see Gods kingdom and will established on earth. Jesus prayed, "Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." This was not necessarily the model prayer, but what we should literally be praying. We must pray that His kingdom comes to invade the earth and our lives. We must pray that His will be done. The author explains and answers several key questions pertaining to the Kingdom of God, such as: what is Gods Kingdom? Is Gods Kingdom here and now? What is my role in this Kingdom? And so on. Alec unveils hidden truths from Scripture and challenges modern day theology concerning Gods Kingdom. As you open its pages, you will begin to understand and experience a different meaning of our mandate and responsibility as children and citizens of God. Come along as we discover the power, majesty, and beauty of Gods Kingdom that will revolutionize your life and ministry.

Worship and the Parish Church in Early Modern Britain

Worship and the Parish Church in Early Modern Britain

By: Alec Ryrie

The Parish Church was the primary site of religious practice throughout the early modern period. This was particularly so for the silent majority of the English population, who conformed outwardly to the successive religious upheavals of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. What such public conformity might have meant has attracted less attention - and, ironically, is sometimes less well documented - than the non-conformity or semi-conformity of recusants, church-papists, Puritan conventiclers or separatists. In this volume, ten leading scholars of early modern religion explore the experience of parish worship in England during the Reformation and the century that followed it. As the contributors argue, parish worship in this period was of critical theological, cultural and even political importance. The volume's key themes are the interlocking importance of liturgy, music, the sermon and the parishioners' own bodies; the ways in which religious change was received, initiated, negotiated, embraced or subverted in local contexts; and the dialectic between practice and belief which helped to make both so contentious. The contributors - historians, historical theologians and literary scholars - through their commitment to an interdisciplinary approach to the subject, provide fruitful and revealing insights into this intersection of private and public worship. This collection is a sister volume to Martin and Ryrie (eds), Private and Domestic Devotion in Early Modern Britain. Together these two volumes focus and drive forward scholarship on the lived experience of early modern religion, as it was practised in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

“HELLO AND GOODBY EFERDINAND DE LESSEPS IT’S BEING NICE KNOWING YOU” A short story By Alexander Gogonelis A Query Letter The time: The Fifties. The most turbulent decade in the history of modern Egypt. A corrupt king, an inept government, the inability to prevent the formation of the State of Israel, the ever presence of the British Military Forces in the Suez Canal Zone were all perfect ingredients for revolt. Our story unfolds during that period. Taking advantage of the Montreux convention that gave foreigners preferential legal rights, two hundred thousand Greek expatriates lived and worked in Egypt. Some of them amassed wealth of mythical proportions. A Greek, sole heir to one of the biggest and richest fortunes in Cairo, is caught between a sizzling love affair with an Egyptian belly dancer and a woman of his own race whom he intended to marry. Being forced to choose between sin and righteousness brought him in direct conflict with the Holy Sacraments of his Christian faith. The 1952 riots that left Cairo burning provided the background to a most unpredictable ending.
