Red State Christians

A Journey into White Christian Nationalism and the Wreckage It Leaves Behind

By: Angela Denker

Winner of a 2019 Foreword INDIES Award Silver Medal In Red State Christians, readers will get an honest look at the Christians who gave the presidency to the unlikeliest candidate of all time. Veteran journalist Angela Denker spent a year traveling across the United States, interviewing the Evangelical Christian voters who supported the Trump presidency and exploring how their voting block continues to influence the landscape of modern conservative politics. From booming, wealthy Orange County megachurches to libertarian farmers in Missouri, to a church in Florida where the pastors carry guns, to an Evangelical Arab American church in Houston, to conservative Catholics on the East Coast--the picture Denker paints of them is enlightening, at times disturbing, but always empathetic. In this expanded edition, Denker reflects on the lasting impact of the Trump presidency, the Christian white nationalism it emboldened, the 2020 election and transfer of power, and the subsequent insurrection at the United States Capitol. A must-read for those hoping to truly understand what Trumpism means for the 2020s and beyond.

Disciples of White Jesus

The Radicalization of American Boyhood

By: Angela Denker

White boys and men are dangerous. White boys and men are struggling. Both of these statements are staggeringly true in America today. By far, most large-scale mass shooters are white men. White men also die by suicide more often than any other demographic. In this sensitive, searing, and unsparing look at American boyhood, journalist, mother, and pastor Angela Denker investigates the sometimes-tragic stories of boyhood across the United States. Disciples of White Jesus is a comprehensive look at the rise in radicalization among young white men in America, especially focused on the role of right-wing Christianity in the increase of religious-based hatred and violence. Denker goes deep into the online rabbit holes of right-wing Christian influencers and conservative Christian ideology to understand how the preaching of "traditional gender roles" and "submission of women" has led to anger, outrage, loneliness, depression, and limiting identities for young white Christian men across America. Casting her journalist's eye across the US, Denker retraces the steps of a racist South Carolina mass shooter and a Phoenix skinhead turned Evangelical pastor, interviews middle school teachers and coaches in the Midwest, and introduces us to young men across the country who will both confirm and confound our ideas about American boyhood--stories about boys and men who are forging new identities grounded in kindness, grace, respect, and even joy. A must-read for parents, grandparents, educators, coaches, faith leaders, researchers, and all who care about the state of American families, boys themselves, and the safety of American society at large.

Historical Dictionary of Hume's Philosophy

By: Angela Coventry,Kenneth R. Merrill

The philosopher David Hume was born in Edinburgh, Scotland on April 26, 1711. Known for his re-thinking of causation, morality, and religion, Hume has left a lasting mark on history. James Madison, the "father" of the U.S. Constitution, drew heavily on Hume's writing, especially his "Idea of Perfect Commonwealth," which combated the belief at the time that a large country could not sustain a republican form of government. Hume's writing also influenced Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations and the philosophy of Immanuel Kant. This edition attempts a broader picture of Hume’s philosophy including more detail on the elements of his psychology, aesthetics, social and political philosophy as well as his legacy in contemporary topics of race, feminism, animal ethics, and environmental issues. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of Hume's Philosophy contains a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 100 cross-referenced entries covering key terms, as well as brief discussions of Hume's major works and of some of his most important predecessors, contemporaries, and successors. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about David Hume.

Sophias Verlangen

Eine Deutsch-Deutsche Amerikanische Geschichte

By: Angela Thompson

Sophias Verlangen Eine deutsch-deutsche amerikanische Geschichte Sophia wird sich als kleines Madchen, umgeben von Frauen, ihrer selbst bewusst. Ihre Umwelt erlebt sie von dem Augenblick an ganz unmittelbar und wird im Nachkriegsdeutschland unter sowjetischer Besatzung Zeugin von Begebenheiten, uber die niemand spricht und die ihr niemand erklart. Es ist eine unheimliche, dustere Welt, aus der sie, alle Hindernisse beiseite schiebend, ausbricht. Die Einladung ihrer Lehrerin, den Jungen Pionieren beizutreten, ignoriert sie, ohne sich um irgendwelche Konsequenzen zu kummern. Hellhorig wird sie, als sie bemerkt, dass die Jungen eine ganz andere Sprache sprechen, mit der sich die Welt fur sie von selbst offnet, die jedoch Madchen ausschliesst und in die enge Welt der Frauen verweist. Bei Freundinnen und Freunden und in der Natur erfahrt Sophia ein ihr gemasseres, freies Leben. Von der Schule und der Gesellschaft fordert sie fur sich die gleiche Bildung und die gleichen Moglichkeiten, die bis dahin nur Jungen zustanden, und lernt darauf zu bestehen, ebenso direkt angesprochen zu werden, wie diese, und nicht nur mitgemeint zu sein. Diese Erkenntnisse reifen wahrend der Gymnasialzeit in Westdeutschland, ihren Aufenthalten in England und Wales und schliesslich in Kalifornien, wo sie sich ihren Traum erfullen kann und studiert. Vom Pazifik, dem aussersten Ende der westlichen Kultur aus, begreift sie sich und ihr geteiltes Land neu und beschreitet ganz ungeahnte Wege, was ihr letztlich ein Leben in zwei Welten beschert. Sophias Verlangen ist ein Buch, das aufzeigt, welche Krafte der Wunsch nach Selbstbehauptung in Madchen und Frauen freisetzt, die genauso gelernt werden muss wie lesen und schreiben.

The Romantic Performative

Language and Action in British and German Romanticism

By: Angela Esterhammer

The Romantic Performative" develops a new context and methodology for reading Romantic literature by exploring philosophies of language from the period 1785-1835. It reveals that the concept of the performative, debated by twentieth-century theorists from J. L. Austin to Judith Butler, has a much greater relevance for Romantic literature than has been realized, since Romantic philosophy of language was dominated by the idea that something "happens" when words are spoken. By presenting Romantic philosophy as a theory of the performative, and Romantic literature in terms of that theory, this book uncovers the historical roots of twentieth-century ideas about speech acts and performativity. Romantic linguistic philosophy already focused on the relationship between speaker and hearer, describing speech as an act that establishes both subjectivity and intersubjective relations and theorizing reality as a verbal construct. But Romantic theorists considered utterance, the context of utterance, and the positions and identities of speaker and hearer to be much more fluid and less stable than modern analytic philosophers tend to make them. Romantic theories of language therefore yield a definition of the "Romantic performative" as an utterance that creates an object in the world, instantiates the relationship between speaker and hearer, and even founds the subjectivity of the speaker in the moment when the utterance occurs. The author traces the Romantic performative through its diverse development in the moral, political, and legal philosophy of Reid, Bentham, Kant and the German Idealists, Humboldt, and Coleridge, then explores its significance in literary texts by Coleridge, Godwin, Holderlin, and Kleist. These readings demonstrate that Romantic writers mounted a deeper investigation than previously realized into the way the act of speaking generates subjective identity, intersubjective relations, and even objective reality. The project of the book is to read the language of Romanticism as performative and to recognize among its achievements the historical founding of the discourse of performativity itself.

California Natural

By: Angela Hynes

Brighton Doyle has a Los Angeles-based P.I. business that she’s inherited; an office on funky Venice boardwalk; a glamorous movie-star sister; and a hole in her life where her late fiancé used to be. Her missing persons business is starting to feel stale now that she can do much of her skip-tracing on the computer. Then her life is shaken up when she hauls in a couple of would-be desperadoes on the lam in the Arizona desert. Assuming her involvement with the inept siblings is over, she’s incredulous when their lawyer asks her to find their own kidnap victim who has vanished. All evidence to the contrary, the brothers swear they left Virginia Burgess alive. So where is she? Brighton’s search for the missing woman takes her from behind the false front of Hollywood to the mountain resorts of Southern California, where matters go down-hill fast. By the time she knows the truth, she’s encountered corruption, personal betrayal and murder. To make matters worse, every step of her investigation is dogged by tabloid news reporter, Rick McVee: a complication in more ways than one. From the wonderful opening chapter, with its hilarious bumbling heist artists, to the page-turner of an ending, with everyone chasing the Maguffin back and forth across the mountain communities above the L.A. basin, Hynes’ first detective novel California Natural will keep you glued to the page to find out who did what to whom. --John Shannon, author of The Poison Sky, the third of the Jack Liffey mysteries

pH Deregulation as the Eleventh Hallmark of Cancer

By: Tomas Koltai,Larry Fliegel,Stephan J. Reshkin,Fatima Baltazar,Rosa Angela Cardone,Khalid Omer Alfarouk,Julieta Afonso

pH Deregulation as the Eleventh Hallmark of Cancer presents key concepts about pH deregulation in a concise and straight-forward manner. The book discusses topics such as pH regulation and metabolism, sodium hydrogen exchanger, monocarboxylate transporter, V-ATPase proton pump, carbonic anhydrases, and voltage gated sodium channels. In addition, it covers clinical and therapeutic implications and future perspectives. This is a valuable resource for researchers, oncologists, students and members of the biomedical and medical fields who want to learn more about the role of pH deregulation in cancer treatment. pH deregulation can improve the outcome of classical treatments without adding toxicity to them, and the book shows that treating the pH peculiarities of cancer is simple and can be performed with existing drugs. Based on the classification of tumor malignancy in ten hallmarks, the authors put pH deregulation at the spotlight and separated from metabolic reprogramming due to its impact on all other hallmarks, proposing it as an additional characteristic to evaluate and fight cancer. Proposes that pH deregulation should be considered as an independent hallmark of cancer from metabolic reprogramming due to its impact on all other hallmarks (based on seminal work of Hanahan and Weinberg) Explains basic issues of cancer pH deregulation and its consequences in a simple and concise manner Discusses the subject from the start with very elementary concepts on pH and pH regulation to help readers understand key concepts without proper background Presents key concepts through original illustrations and table for easy comprehension
