Religion, Economics, and Public Policy

Ironies, Tragedies, and Absurdities of the Contemporary Culture Wars

By: Andrew D. Walsh

As Americans seem bent on dismantling the safety net of the New Deal era, the most popular version of the culture wars' thesis paints an arguably cosmic battle between defenders of religious orthodoxy who embrace laissez-faire capitalism and secular elites who have imposed a Marxist welfare state upon an unsuspecting populace. Walsh shows that this thesis ignores the role of religious leaders in legitimizing the types of programs embodied in America's approach to the welfare state. Walsh explores the arguments of William Jennings Bryan, America's foremost fundamentalist who opposed the Social Darwinism often associated with the defense of laissez-faire capitalism, John Ryan, the Catholic priest whose writings foreshadowed Roosevelt's New Deal legislation, Reinhold Niebuhr, the influential mainstream Protestant leader who defended America's Cold War strategy of containment while opposing laissez-faire capitalism, and the arguments of influential African American Protestant and Jewish leaders. Finally he looks at the role of religious leaders in the contemporary debates over issues such as health care and welfare reform. Whenever possible, the relationship between the official views of the religious leaders is analyzed in light of the opinions and voting patterns of their constituents. The opinions and voting patterns of secular Americans are also contrasted to those of religious Americans. Of particular interest to scholars, students, and general readers concerned with the role of religion in American politics.

Spain in Our Hearts: Espana en el corazon (New Directions Bibelot)

By: Pablo Neruda,Donald D. Walsh

Neruda's epic hymn against fascism, Spain in Our Hearts, now available in this pocket Bibelot edition. In 1936, Pablo Neruda was Chile's consul in Madrid, and so horrified by the civil war and the murder of his friend, Federico Garcia Lorca, that he started writing what became his most politically passionate series of poems, Spain in Our Hearts. The collection was printed by soldiers on the front lines of the war, and later incorporated into the third volume of Neruda's revolutionary collection, Residence on Earth. This bilingual New Directions Bibelot edition presents Spain in Our Hearts as a single book as it was first published, a tribute to Neruda's everlasting spirit.

Playing Against the House

The Dramatic World of an Undercover Union Organizer

By: James D. Walsh

In the tradition of Barbara Ehrenreich’s classic Nickel and Dimed, a talented young journalist goes undercover as a casino labor-union organizer in this rare inside look at the ongoing struggle of hourly-wage service workers to survive in America. “Salting” is a simple concept—get hired at a non-union company, do the job you were hired to do, and, with the help of organizers on the outside, unionize your coworkers from the inside. James Walsh spent two years as a “salt” in two casinos in South Florida, working as a buffet server and a bartender. Neither his employers nor the union knew of Walsh’s intentions to write about his experience. Now he reveals hard-won and little-known truths about how unions fight to organize service workers, the vigorous corporate opposition against them, and how workers get caught in the middle. As a salt, Walsh witnessed the cultish nature of labor organization and was constantly grilled by his union organizer as to whether he had enough grit and determination to win converts to the cause while remaining undercover. At work, Walsh witnessed the oddities of casino life and management’s stunning mistreatment of service industry employees, most of whom were hanging on to economic survival by their fingernails. His meticulous reporting reveals supervisors berating workers for the smallest infractions, even as employees submit to relentless scrutiny, ever-changing work schedules, and the callous behavior of casino customers. A clear-eyed and balanced account, Playing Against the House explores the trials of day-to-day life for the working poor and the face of twenty-first-century union organizing and union busting in unprecedented detail.

Bloody Sunday and the Rule of Law in Northern Ireland

By: D. Walsh

Drawing on original research into explosive evidence which had been concealed for twenty-five years, this book offers a devastating critique of the official Widgery Inquiry into the massacre of innocent and unarmed civilians by British soldiers on Bloody Sunday. It exposes the Inquiry as a gross denial of justice and the rule of law. Expert analysis of the subordination of law to security policy in Northern Ireland reveals that the Bloody Sunday experience is an integral part of a sustained pattern. Belated prospects for a restoration of justice and the rule of law are found in the Good Friday Peace Agreement and the unprecedented establishment of a second Tribunal of Inquiry into Bloody Sunday.

Electrical Properties of Materials

By: Laszlo Solymar,Donald Walsh,Richard R. A. Syms

An informal and highly accessible writing style, a simple treatment of mathematics, and clear guide to applications have made this book a classic text in electrical and electronic engineering. The fundamental ideas relevant to the understanding of the electrical properties of materials are emphasized; in addition, topics are selected in order to explain the operation of devices having applications (or possible future applications) in engineering. The mathematics, kept deliberately to a minimum, is well within the grasp of undergraduate students. This is achieved by choosing the simplest model that can display the essential properties of a phenomenom, and then examining the difference between the ideal and the actual behaviour. The whole text is designed as an undergraduate course. However most individual sections are self contained and can be used as background reading in graduate courses, and for interested persons who want to explore advances in microelectronics, lasers, nanotechnology, and several other topics that impinge on modern life.

Lofton

Journal of an American Woman

By: Kent D. Walsh

Born to Austrian immigrant parents in 1901, Lofton Fox entered the world on the brink of unimaginable shifts in society, industry, and the world order. She was the first generation of her family born in America, the land of opportunity. During her 98-year lifetime, she would witness two world wars, The Great Depression, womens suffrage, the Civil Rights Movement, and the advent of the technological age, among other wonders of a society in rapid progress. Through all of this, she remained faithful to her strong belief in God, and she adored her husband Melvin. She was left to run her and her husbands chicken farm by herself, and she suffered the loss of their only child, Patty Ann. She embodied the values of endurance, hard work, and hope that characterized the best of her remarkable generation. Based on her own roughly typed journals, handwritten notebooks, and miscellaneous documents, Lofton: Journal of an American Woman is the testimonial of a true twentieth-century American working woman.

EPA Protection of Drinking Water from Injection of Fluids Used in Oil and Gas Production

EPA Protection of Drinking Water from Injection of Fluids Used in Oil and Gas Production

By: Courtney D. Walsh

Every day in the United States, at least 2 billion gallons of fluids are injected into over 172,000 wells to enhance oil and gas production, or to dispose of fluids brought to the surface during the extraction of oil and gas resources. These wells are subject to regulation to protect drinking water sources under EPA's UIC class II program and approved state class II programs. Because much of the population relies on underground sources for drinking water, these wells have raised concerns about the safety of the nation's drinking water. This book examines EPA and state roles, responsibilities, and resources for the program; safeguards to protect drinking water; EPA oversight and enforcement of class II programs; and the reliability of program data for reporting. GAO reviewed federal and state laws and regulations.

Misneach

A Story of Kidnap, Enslavement, and Colonialism

By: D Walsh Gilbert

Without warning, an Englishman's hand cups Aoife McGuire's mouth, silencing her before the chance to utter a word. So begins the verse-story of Aoife McGuire, a midwife in Ireland 1650, kidnapped by Oliver Cromwell's men, and sent into the New World. The next years of her life trace the harrowing trajectory of many others stolen for the benefits of nationalism and economic superiority. Their voices are finally heard in the poetic imagery of one young woman's unconscionable capture and the bravery-the misneach-needed to survive.
