The CIA and the Congress for Cultural Freedom in the Early Cold War

The Limits of Making Common Cause

By: Sarah Miller Harris

This book questions the conventional wisdom about one of the most controversial episodes in the Cold War, and tells the story of the CIA's backing of the Congress for Cultural Freedom. For nearly two decades during the early Cold War, the CIA secretly sponsored some of the world’s most feted writers, philosophers, and scientists as part of a campaign to prevent Communism from regaining a foothold in Western Europe and from spreading to Asia. By backing the Congress for Cultural Freedom, the CIA subsidized dozens of prominent magazines, global congresses, annual seminars, and artistic festivals. When this operation (QKOPERA) became public in 1967, it ignited one of the most damaging scandals in CIA history. Ever since then, many accounts have argued that the CIA manipulated a generation of intellectuals into lending their names to pro-American, anti-Communist ideas. Others have suggested a more nuanced picture of the relationship between the Congress and the CIA, with intellectuals sometimes resisting the CIA's bidding. Very few accounts, however, have examined the man who held the Congress together: Michael Josselson, the Congress’s indispensable manager—and, secretly, a long time CIA agent. This book fills that gap. Using a wealth of archival research and interviews with many of the figures associated with the Congress, this book sheds new light on how the Congress came into existence and functioned, both as a magnet for prominent intellectuals and as a CIA operation. This book will be of much interest to students of the CIA, Cold War History, intelligence studies, US foreign policy and International Relations in general.

Byzantium and the Crusades

By: Jonathan Harris

This new edition of Byzantium and the Crusades provides a fully-revised and updated version of Jonathan Harris's landmark text in the field of Byzantine and crusader history. The book offers a chronological exploration of Byzantium and the outlook of its rulers during the time of the Crusades. It argues that one of the main keys to Byzantine interaction with Western Europe, the Crusades and the crusader states can be found in the nature of the Byzantine Empire and the ideology which underpinned it, rather than in any generalised hostility between the peoples. Taking recent scholarship into account, this new edition includes an updated notes section and bibliography, as well as significant additions to the text: - New material on the role of religious differences after 1100 - A detailed discussion of economic, social and religious changes that took place in 12th-century Byzantine relations with the west - In-depth coverage of Byzantium and the Crusades during the 13th century - New maps, illustrations, genealogical tables and a timeline of key dates Byzantium and the Crusades is an important contribution to the historiography by a major scholar in the field that should be read by anyone interested in Byzantine and crusader history.

This Restless House

an adaptation of Aeschlyus' Oresteia

By: Zinnie Harris

Electrifying . . . This four-hour epic of ambition and power is a sinewy reworking of Aeschylus that explodes into a cacophonous climax.' GUARDIAN ***** Aeschylus' Oresteia opens with Agamemnon sacrificing his daughter to the gods; an act which sets in motion a bloody cycle of revenge and counter-revenge. When he in turn is killed at the hands of his wife Clytemnestra, their son Orestes takes up the mantle of avenging his father, continuing the bloodshed until peace is ultimately found in the rule of law. Zinnie Harris reimagines this ancient drama, using a contemporary sensibility to rework the stories, placing the women in the centre. Orestes' leading role is replaced by his sister Electra, who as a young child witnesses her father's murder and is compelled to take justice into her own hands until she too must flee the Furies. Winner: Best New Play, Critics' Awards for Theatre in Scotland This Restless House premiered at the Citizens Theatre, Glasgow, in April 2016 in a co-production with the National Theatre of Scotland.

Words Born of Silence

Unexpected Gifts of Autism

By: Ruth Harris Swaner

There were sounds, though they did not come from Michaels bedroom. They were coming from outside. I ran to the window and saw Michael outside in the garden, crying and cold under a shivering moon. In the summer, he would sit in the garden for hours sifting dirt through his delicate fingers. But this night the ground was frozen. Michaels hands were almost frostbitten. We must put a lock on his bedroom door. Words Born of Silence: Unexpected Gifts of Autism is a powerful story of one womans challenging journey with an autistic son. She finds her path made easier and her burden lighter when she is later joined by a friend on the same journey. As she deals with the challenges that her sons autism brings to her daily life, she begins another journey that is also life-defining: the gradual loss of her mother. Through her poignant journal entries, she reveals her first discovery of the extent of her mothers illness and the daily demands of her sons illness. As her mother begins to fade rapidly, she turns to her faith to learn how to trust, to love, and to deal with lifes unexpected lessons.

Vampire Secrets

By: Melinda Harris

I´d never really given much thought as to the precise moment that I´d fall in love with the person that I would one day give up my humanity for or to the myth about vampires being real and if someone had told me then that I´d not only discover the truth but that I would fall completely and undeniably in love with a vampire I would have told them that they were crazy. Vampires are some urban legend that people use to explain things that otherwise have no rational explanation but Lucian is a vampire and he is very real and everything that I could ever want or need and so much more. Lucian is so completely in love with me that he would die for me or kill for me if it was needed and that scares me a little. Unfortunately for us he carries with him a deep, dark secret that he´s been hiding from everyone for years. A secret that could very well destroy us both. Vampires from Lucian´s past are hunting him and now that he has devoted his immortal life to me they have finally found him and will stop at nothing to punish him for his past crimes. I love Lucian more than I thought someone was capable of loving another person. But then there’s Matt who is a vampire spy and has come here to find Lucian and create even more problems for us than we can handle. Matt is the most forth-coming vampire that I’ve ever met and maybe that’s what draws me to him but whatever Matt’s charm is ----- it has captured me, we share a connection that Lucian and I don´t and every time that Matt is near me it is becoming impossible for me to resist him any longer. I´ve finally admitted to myself that I’m in love with him and then there is my best friend Josh who is a human and whom I’ve also fallen in love with recently so now I’m caught in the middle of this mess and soon I’ll have to choose between them. In the meantime I´m caught in the middle of a mess with Lucian and a vampire named Michael from his past out for revenge who will stop at nothing to hurt Lucian including turning my friend Jill into a vampire and her hatred for me could easily end up getting me killed. Now I can only hope that Lucian can find me before my captor has a chance to replace my life with an immortal one full of darkness and blood. I don´t know if I´ll be able to choose between the two vampires and the human who are competing for my heart and if I’ll survive what has happened to me or if I´m doomed to spend forever as a vampire with the evil vampire who came back from the past looking to destroy Lucian‘s new life. Follow my story and see who will survive the events that unfold in Vampire Secrets----- a story of what happens when a vampire who has a dark past to hide, a vampire with another motive, and a human who is just trying to stay alive fall in love with a human girl who has everything to live for and possibly everything to lose including friends, family, love and possibly the ultimate sacrifice that a human can give --- my soul.

Lord's Day Cry

By: Robert Harris

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Lord's Day Cry

By: Robert Harris

Greetings-I'm Robert Harris; in writing Lord's Day Cry I've combined doctrinal readiness with the fact of Christ's Bridegroom Return. Suitably, this work makes plain Christ's initial return, which is not an at-once redemption-whether it be the at-once Rapture, or the Second Coming.Actually, both above teachings negate large portions of Scripture. Indeed, if either of these teachings represented the whole truth, then there wouldn't be a need to watch, or a need to prepare. No Tribulation Night? No Midnight Cry? No four watches? No doors? No knocking? No Jewish wedding? No Wedding Feast? No Bridegroom Return with two male witnesses? No first fruits? No Like Manner Return? No partial Summer Harvest? No early and latter rains? No thief like coming in That Night? No place prepared for us? No, we are not bought with a price? In perceiving Christ's first coming, these many Scriptural references all intricately link to a Jewish nighttime wedding. No, these many references are not all just allegoric and meaningless, as many would have us believe.Now Jesus warned, "Take heed to yourselves, lest at anytime your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting (overindulgence), and drunkenness, and the cares of this life, so that day come upon you unawares. . . .Watch you therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things . . . ." (Luke 21:34-36). Here, in praying always, it is the Christian that is to be sober in doctrine, and not to be overtaken with overindulgence and the cares of this life-not the unbeliever (1 Thess. 5:6-8). Sadly, the need to look for the Day of our Redemption, not to mention the need of preparedness for Christ's Bridegroom Return, isn't widely being taught in the Body of Christ. It's time to change that!

Smiley-Man Chronicles

By: Jeff Harris

Smiley-Man Chronicles is the true story and reminiscences of Michael Mulholland, Tahni Jones, Eddy Boros, Kevin Donnelly, the Lefty Jones Band, Edwardo, Pancho Rosie, et al. Technically your author has been more of an archivist and editor than story-teller. He has also tried to hold the price down on this volume so that it will not cost you too much--either spiritually or financially. It reads easily in order, or out, and is about going to the moon, literally & figuratively. Though parts are fiction, the chronicles are largely non-fiction, and they are dedicated to both Nathan Harris, who gave your author everything, and Tahni Jones, who told his sister Georgi shortly before he died that he had been "playing life by ear." Reviews: "Essential reading...a tour de force!" --Stewart Allen, author The Devil's Cup, In the Devil's Garden "I couldn't have written a better book without dropping out of school...." --Saul Fisher, Ph.D. "Thank God for The Lefty Jones Band...long live the Smiley-Man Chronicles..." --Andy Malm, Drummer, Lefty Jones Band "This book is serious fun, thoughtful, and revolutionary." --Nina Feldman, President, Sweet Bella.

Paul V. Dynamo Sporting Goods, Dillon, and Hanson

A Motion Practice Case Study, Materials for Faculty

By: Morgan Cloud,Mary Pat Dooley,Terre Rushton,Nancy Harris Vaidik

When two entrepreneurs clash over women’s sportswear, the spandex flies. Michelle Paul sold her start-up company, Sportslifeware, to Arthur Dillon for $6 million. Dillon paid the first $500,000 at closing, but failed to pay the remaining $5.5 million when it was due. Paul is suing for that sum, but Dillon claims that Paul breached their contract by starting Sportique, a new sportswear company and luring away two of her former employees. Worse, one of the employees brought along the highly confidential customer list—one of Sportslifeware’s most valued assets. Dillon is countersuing for the damage he alleges Paul inflicted when she breached the contract. The third edition of this popular casefile introduces Internet and social media exhibits, and updates the exhibits for a real world feel. Paul v. Dynamo focuses on motion practice, an expanding portion of all law suits, and frequently the work that resolves a case. Self-encapsulated, with all the legal research participants need included in the book, Paul v. Dynamo teaches students fact-finding, researching, and writing motions.

Gender and Modern Irish Drama

Gender and Modern Irish Drama

By: Susan Cannon Harris

Gender and Modern Irish Drama argues that the representations of sacrificial violence central to the work of the Abbey playwrights are intimately linked with constructions of gender and sexuality. Susan Cannon Harris goes beyond an examination of the relationship between Irish national drama and Irish nationalist politics to the larger question of the way national identity and gender identity are constructed through each other. Radically redefining the context in which the Abbey plays were performed, Harris documents the material and discursive forces that produced Irish conceptions of gender. She looks at cultural constructions of the human body and their influence on nationalist rhetoric, linking the production and reception of the plays to conversations about public health, popular culture, economic policy, and racial identity that were taking place inside and outside the nationalist community. The book is both a crucial intervention in Irish studies and an important contribution to the ongoing feminist project of theorizing the production of gender and the body.

Penny Lane has lived in her new world, Elysium Sphere for over a year now. She has left her death far behind her and now rules alongside her handsome soulmate, Avery. The residents, made up of aliens, ancients and angels, are all slowly settling in to their new roles as assistants to Earth's replacement, Virtus. Peace seems to fill the air until one day Penny wakes with a feeling of dread, and her intuition is always right. That very day she bumps into one of her dearest friend's brothers and soon discovers it is Lucifer and he wants her to help him in his quest.

Having been forced to return to the afterlife after Earth was destroyed, he has nowhere to go and he is not going to surrender lightly. With the cherubim and seraphim not agreeing to his demands, Lucifer is eager to start a war and Elysium Sphere is where he takes his army!

Waking God

By: Brian Doe,Philip Harris

And he agreed, and from Him was taken the Vessel, the Chalice, which was to contain all that was created. With this taking came the knowledge in the form of Wisdom, and from Wisdom they went forth and multiplied. When It saw what had happened, It said, This is good. And It placed a fiery pillar before this place of rest that none should disturb the slumber. If he awoke, all of creation would thus end and Wisdom would be lost. Being the seventh day, It rested. He closed the journal, not bothering to read the words he'd written. He knew the idea by now, was familiar with the message, though he comprehended none of it beyond an academic capacity. He only needed to find some way to understand why it was happening, and what in God's name it had to do with him.

Folklore and the Fantastic in Nineteenth-century British Fiction

By: Jason Marc Harris

Arguing that the tensions between folk metaphysics and Enlightenment values produce the literary fantastic, Jason Marc Harris demonstrates that a negotiation with folklore was central to the canon of British literature. He uncovers the ideological agendas articulated using folkloric elements in works by James Barrie, William Carleton, James Hogg, Sheridan Le Fanu, George MacDonald and Robert Louis Stevenson, among others, and reveals the rhetorical strategies for applying superstition in both folkloric and literary contexts of the supernatural.

Midnight's Cry

By: Robert C. Harris

Midnight's Cry

By: Robert C. Harris

The night, or the possibility of Christ returning, begins when the night of the seven year Tribulation begins. To deny this, is to deny the earlier watches of the night (Mark 13:33 37), and the night itself the Day of the Lord. In this vein, the Day of the Lord is pictured as nighttime (1 Thess. 5:2), that is, before it dawns (2 Pet. 1:19). If the chapter division between 1 Thessalonians 4 & 5 is taken out, which doesn=t exist in the original manuscripts, we find that it is not a pre night Rapture that we are to be ready for, but a coming of the Lord as a thief in the night, wherein we are commanded to watch (1 Thess. 5:6 8) and keep our garments (Rev. 16:15). Ironically, the seven year Tribulation and the Day of the Lord both begin with birth pangs (Matt. 24:8; 1 Thess. 5:3) they are one in the same! Now Christians are told to earnestly expect the Day of the Lord in 2 Pet. 3:12 (The word hasting is really to earnestly expect in the Greek.). In suit, since Christians are still here once the Day begins the night (Christ also comes as a thief in the night: in Rev. 16:15), we are told to provoke one another to love and good works, even more so as we see the Day approaching (Heb. 10:24 25). Moreover, it is impossible for the literal salvation to take place before the Day of Jesus Christ (1 Cor. 5:5; Philip. 1:6, 10; 2 Thess. 2:2 3), being before the Day of our Redemption (Eph. 4:30). The pre trib Rapture teaches that Christ=s initial coming will happen before the Day of the Lord; before the night (imminently), but conversely, the Word tells us, "Let no man deceive you by any means, for that Day shall not come (speaking of the Day of Christ) until there is a falling away and the man of sin is revealed. The point is, That Day will begin the beginning of the Tribulation; and again, both the Day of the Lord and the Tribulation begin the night, just as we find in Scripture (1 Thess. 5:1-3). Thus the Trump of God in 1 Thessalonians 4:16 is not an anytime trump before the night, but the Last Trump of the Last Day (John 6:40), being the traditional Second Coming. Even the idea of the Lord returning with a shout, and the Trump of God, and the voice of Michael the Archangel clearly also testify of this, and these represent a battle cry. The irony is, that there is no battle at Christ's initial appearance (1 John 3:2), wherein again, we are COMMANDED to watch (1 Thess. 5:6 8) for His appearing and keep our garments (Rev. 16:15). The Day of the Lord, wherein Christ initially returns, again, has the attributes of nighttime (Luke 17:34; Mark 13:35; 1 Thess. 5:2; 2 Pet. 3:10 14; Rev. 2:1, 16:15), that is, before it dawns (2 Pet. 1:19). Thus Christ is the Bright and Morning Star, the sign of the Son of man at the traditional Second Coming or the first light after the NIGHT the dawning of the That Day (2 Pet. 1:19) when the God man returns at the Second Coming with all of His saints (1 Thess. 3:13, 4:14; Jude 14). Indeed, it is That Day, that is, its prior night segment that we are to look for (Heb. 10:24 25), that will come upon the world and much of the Church as a thief in the night (Luke 21:36; 1 Thess. 5:3). Indeed, it is That Day, as Peter Greek-wise tells us, to earnestly expect (1 Pet. 3:12). Indeed, it is That Day when literal redemption will take place (1 Cor. 5:5). Indeed, it is the Day of Christ (2 Thess. 2 3), being the Day of Jesus Christ (Philip. 1:6, 10)BBbeing the Day of our Redemption (Eph. 4:30)! Speaking of the Day of the Lord, it begins when there is a Great Apostasy, and that the Man of sin is revealed to the Body of Christ (2 Thess. 2:2 3), that is, when the Antichrist confirms (Hebrew: insolently prevails) the Old Covenant and/or the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple in a peace movement (Such will cause great

Safeguarding Black Children

Good Practice in Child Protection

By: Claudia Bernard,Perlita Harris

Providing an exploration of the key issues, this book offers practical advice on how to improve the safeguarding and welfare of black children and young people in need. With contributions from academics, researchers and practitioners, it promotes an understanding of the particular cultural and social issues that affect black children in relation to child protection. It highlights how race and racism, as well as culture, faith and gender, can influence the ways need and risk are interpreted and responded to. Drawing on insights from research evidence, case examples and practice guidelines, it outlines the range of factors that contribute to the vulnerability of black children and describes how to improve techniques of working with minority ethnic families. The book covers issues such as the effects of parental mental health problems, living with domestic violence, child maltreatment, and demonstrates how these might be understood differently for black children and young people. There are also chapters on topics such as female genital mutilation, witchcraft and forced marriage. Essential reading for all social workers and child protection workers, as well as students and support managers, Safeguarding Black Children provides the tools and understanding needed to better support these children.

Irish Drama and the Other Revolutions

Playwrights, Sexual Politics and the International Left, 1892-1964

By: Susan Cannon Harris

The first modern Irish playwrights emerged in London in the 1890s, at the intersection of a rising international socialist movement and a new campaign for gender equality and sexual freedom. Irish Drama and the Other Revolutions shows how Irish playwrights mediated between the sexual and the socialist revolutions, and traces their impact on left theatre in Europe and America from the 1890s to the 1960s. Drawing on original archival research, the study reconstructs the engagement of Yeats, Shaw, Wilde, Synge, O'Casey, and Beckett with socialists and sexual radicals like Percy Bysshe Shelley, William Morris, Edward Carpenter, Florence Farr, Bertolt Brecht, and Lorraine Hansberry.

Children as Citizens

Engaging with the child's voice in educational settings

By: Pauline Harris,Harry Manatakis

This book discusses how consultations with young children could signal a change of thinking about how children might influence policy and shape the development of a child-friendly state. While the consultations in this study were germane to political decisions, they took place as multi-modal dialogue with children in their educational settings. Framed by Australia’s national early years learning framework which focuses on children’s belonging and identity, the consultations saw unique partnerships formed among children, educators, families and policy officers, providing ways in which children’s voices may be engaged in educational spaces throughout the world. Using a qualitative case study approach, these consultations were documented through observations, interviews, artefact collection and document analyses, allowing the authors to construct a framework for engaging children as citizens that is transferable to a variety of settings. Chapters provide: • an insight into the various aspects involved in children’s consultations from conceptualizing and planning consultations with young children, to implementation and documentation, through to the uptake and consequence of children’s messages; • factors that contribute to the effectiveness of consultations, challenges that arise, and areas for improvement when engaging with children’s voices; • implications for children’s participation as valued citizens and a framework for considering young children’s voices in decision-making processes. This book offers fresh ideas for working with young children in the decision making process and will appeal to early childhood researchers, educators, policymakers and practitioners across various sectors, agencies and disciplines.
