British Generals in the War of 1812

High Command in the Canadas

By: Wesley B. Turner

In British Generals in the War of 1812 Wesley Turner takes a fresh look at five British Generals - Sir George Prevost, Isaac Brock, Roger Sheaffe, Baron Francis de Rottenburg, and Gordon Drummond - who held the highest civil and military command in the Canadas. He considers their formative experiences in the British Army and on active service in European and West Indian theatres and evaluates their roles in the context of North American conditions, which were very different from those of Europe. Turner answers questions about the quality of each general's leadership, particularly that of Isaac Brock, the best known of these five generals. He argues that Brock's charge up Queenston Heights - the basis for his heroic stature - was brave but hardly a demonstration of competent leadership. Turner also shows us that while the other generals displayed courage in combat, they had to face problems raised by American military successes and by the strains of warfare on the civilian population. British Generals in the War of 1812 explores why these commanders succeeded or failed and why, except for Brock, they are all but forgotten.

Sky Shamans of Mongolia

Meetings with Remarkable Healers

By: Kevin B. Turner

Part travelogue, part experiential spiritual memoir, Kevin Turner takes us to visit with authentic shamans in the steppes and urban centers of modern-day Mongolia. Along the way, the author, a practicing shaman himself, tells of spontaneous medical diagnoses, all-night shamanic ceremonies, and miraculous healings, all welling from a rich culture in which divination, soul-retrieval, and spirit depossession are a part of everyday life. Shamanism, described in the 1950s by Mircea Eliade as "archaic techniques of ecstasy," is alive and well in Mongolia as a means of accessing "nonordinary realities" and the spirit world. After centuries of suppression by Buddhist and then Communist political powers, it is exploding in popularity in Mongolia. Turner gives compelling accounts of healings and rituals he witnesses among Darkhad, Buryat, and Khalkh shamans, and goes on to provide us with his insights into a universal shamanism, principles that lie at the heart of shamanic traditions worldwide. This astounding, inspiring book will appeal to shamans and shamanic therapists, students of Mongolian culture and comparative religion, and fans of off-grid travel memoirs.

The Learning of Love

A Journey Toward Servant Leadership

By: William B. Turner

In this highly personal book, William B. Turner of Columbus, Georgia, chronicles his life and the spiritual journey that led him to embrace the concept of servant leadership. The journey began on his eighth birthday when his grandfather industrialist W.C. Bradley, anointed him the head of two large corporations. He resisted the expectations that were set upon him and was led by the examples of his predecessors (grandfather and father) and by God to adopt the principle of servant leadership.

The War of 1812

The War That Both Sides Won

By: Wesley B. Turner

Tragedy and farce, bravery and cowardice, intelligence and foolishness, sense and nonsense - all these contradictions and more have characterized the War of 1812. The real significance of the series of skirmishes that collectively made up the war between 1812 and 1814 is the enormous impact they have had on Canadian and American views of themselves and of each other. The publication of The War of 1812: The War That Both Sides Won in 1990 provided a contemporary look at the period, and included such developments as the 1975 discovery of the Hamilton and Scourge on the bottom of Lake Ontario, and the 1987 discovery of the skeletons of casualties at Snake Hill. Now, a decade later, Wesley B. Turner has updated The War of 1812 to include the volumes of new research that have come to light in recent years. All this new material has been incorporated into this interesting and informative overview of a crucial period in Canada’s history.

No Matter What You Face in Life, Trust God... A 28 Day Devotional

By: Tre'Neshia B. Turner

Proverbs 3:5 (paraphrased) says: Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. The struggles of life may overpower your mind, but in this book, you’ll learn how to face trials and restore power over your circumstances once again. By not only reading the word, but following God’s word physically in your day-to-day life, you’ll learn how to trust Him more. At times, we tend to leave God out of our lives and forget Him. When we’re in the midst of a horrible mess, we stop trusting Him, believing that He is not here for us when truly, He never left and is working out for our greatest good, whatever situation we are going through. God loves you! He is so amazing and He is wonderful! There is nobody like Him. It is so important that we trust God. The greatest affirmation you can say in any situation is, “Lord, I trust You.” With God anything is possible so, let nothing steal your faith or rob you of your joy and trust in the Lord.

Friendship

How we lose friends and alienate people

By: Merle B. Turner

Merle B. Turner earned degrees in psychology and philosophy at Willamette University, Stanford University and the University of Colorado, Boulder. His PhD thesis reported on experiments in perception which he found were paramount to ones preferences. Regarding friendship, he realized that one’s perception of another was the root of the forming and dissolving of friendships. Throughout his life, but especially in the post-war years, as a student at Stanford and the University of Colorado, as a professor at San Diego State University, and as an ocean cruiser on his sailboat, he was led to observe himself, his colleagues, fellow adventurers and his family in the context of how friendships are made, how they disintegrate, and how alienation may occur following some critical incident. He decided he could construct a model of friendship, including the role of critical incidents which might be useful not only to himself but to others. He presents his model in this book.

Kenya's Changing Landscape

By: Raymond M. Turner,H. Awala Ochung',Jeanne B. Turner

Botanist Homer L. Shantz took photographs of the Kenyan landscape in the early 1920s as part of his effort to document the natural plant cover of Africa. He returned there with B. L. Turner in the late 1950s to repeat the photographs. In 1990, Raymond Turner traveled to Kenya under the auspices of the National Geographic Society in order to match the photographs made by Shantz and B.L. Turner and to show the changes that have occurred over the decades since Shantz's initial journey. Turner's comparative photos and research into the botanical record dramatically reflect the encroachment of woody plants in arid areas and the increasing human impact in more humid locales. Turner's discussions of the photographs and the conclusions he draws provide an important reference for ecologists, geographers, botanists, and other researchers attempting similar studies. By documenting vegetation change in a region broadly similar climatically to North America's subtropical deserts and grasslands but different in its wildlife and its human culture, the book shows that the endpoints of landscape status are similar despite the vastly different histories of these two regions of the world.

The (In)Coherence of Divine Mercy

A Discourse-Linguistic Analysis of Hosea 12–14

By: Ian B. Turner

How do texts of Scripture make sense or hold together as a unity? This question is especially germane to the Masoretic Text of Hosea, which is often seen as an unintegrated composition by some, or an artful literary whole by others. Such judgments often come without clear definitions and criteria for (in)coherence. This book brings descriptive clarity to this issue through a discourse analysis of cohesion and coherence in Hosea 12–14 based on Systemic Functional Linguistics. This study showcases the theme of divine mercy in Hosea 12–14 and gives readers tools for discourse-linguistic analysis of the Hebrew Bible.

The Astonishing General

The Life and Legacy of Sir Isaac Brock

By: Wesley B. Turner

Winner of the 2011 OHS Donald Grant Creighton Award This book is about Major General Sir Isaac Brock (1769 - October 13, 1812). It tells of his life, his career and legacy, particularly in the Canadas, and of the context within which he lived. One of the most enduring legacies of the War of 1812 on both the United States and Canadian sides was the creation of heroes and heroines. The earliest of those heroic individuals was Isaac Brock who in some ways was the most unlikely of heroes. For one thing, he was admired by his American foes almost as much as by his own people. Even more striking is how a British general whose military role in that two-and-a-half-year war lasted less than five months became the best known hero and one revered far and wide. Wesley B. Turner finds this outcome astonishing and approaches the subject from that point of view.

Rhetorics of Welfare

Uncertainty, Choice and Voluntary Associations

By: K. Brown,S. Kenny,B. Turner,J. Prince

The book explores comparatively the role of non-profit organizations in conditions of social and economic change. The focus of the study is an investigation of the proposition that non-profit organizations provide sites and processes for enhancing active citizenship, invigorating the public sphere and extending political participation. The study explores the economic constraints on voluntary associations and argues that they can function as 'schools of democracy'. This book is the first national study of the third-sector in Australia, but its conclusions have a general relevance to deregulated welfare societies in Europe and North America.
