The Middle English Bible

A Reassessment

By: Henry Ansgar Kelly

In the last quarter of the fourteenth century, the complete Old and New Testaments were translated from Latin into English, first very literally, and then revised into a more fluent, less Latinate style. This outstanding achievement, the Middle English Bible, is known by most modern scholars as the "Wycliffite" or "Lollard" Bible, attributing it to followers of the heretic John Wyclif. Prevailing scholarly opinion also holds that this Bible was condemned and banned by the archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Arundel, at the Council of Oxford in 1407, even though it continued to be copied at a great rate. Indeed, Henry Ansgar Kelly notes, it was the most popular work in English of the Middle Ages and was frequently consulted for help in understanding Scripture readings at Sunday Mass. In The Middle English Bible: A Reassessment, Kelly finds the bases for the Wycliffite origins of the Middle English Bible to be mostly illusory. While there were attempts by the Lollard movement to appropriate or coopt it after the fact, the translation project, which appears to have originated at the University of Oxford, was wholly orthodox. Further, the 1407 Council did not ban translations but instead mandated that they be approved by a local bishop. It was only in the early sixteenth century, in the years before the Reformation, that English translations of the Bible would be banned.

Developmental Group Care of Children and Youth

Concepts and Practice

By: Jerome Beker,Henry W Maier

A recognized leader in the professional development of the child and youth care field presents--in this single volume--a collection of his work related to group care work with children and youth. Henry Maier shares his observations about human development in the group care context, the perceptions of children and youth, the environments in which we work with them, the role of the worker, and the preparation of child and youth care workers. Dr. Maier’s practical approaches reflect the most recent research and thinking in human development. This book is a practical text for courses in the child and youth field, as well as a useful handbook for child and youth caseworkers already on the job. BACKCOVER COPY In what way can group care--non-familial living--assure children a developmental progress similar to that of children growing up within regular family care settings? In his practical new text, Henry Maier--one of the most vibrant, creative, and humane figures in child and youth care work today--answers that question for child care professionals using a developmental perspective in his approach to residential group care. He focuses on the developmental requirements of children and adolescents in relation to the care they receive while they are in no-familial, group living situations and also highlights training for the caregivers in order that they can effectively provide the kind of caring involvement that children and youth require. “The real contribution of this book . . . is that it cuts throught the confusion of competing values and competing points of view to focus on the care at the heart of child care work,” attests Richard W. Small, PhD, Executive Director of the Walker Home and School, Needham, Massachusetts (from the Preface).

Swimming with Sharks

By: Henry Foreman

When Henry graduated from college, like most students, he was still innocent and idealistic. After he joined the FBI, and they assigned him to undercover work at a Mafia casino, his attitude changed forever. Also his understanding of interpersonal relationships grew by the same proportions when the service teamed him with the female agent, Bessie. Three years later his team solved the murder of John F. Kennedy and his understanding of the inside workings of government was truly complete. If you are among the eighty percent of citizens, who never believed the Warren commissions report, you get to learn you were right all the time.

Giantkillers

The Team and the Law that Help Whistle-blowers Recover America's Stolen Billions

By: Henry Scammell

In 1986, with contractors stealing an estimated 10 percent of the total federal budget by fraud, Congress passed a newly strengthened anticorruption law. Ordinary citizens could file lawsuits on behalf of the government to recover money stolen from the public treasury, and they would share in the result. In the years since, the False Claims Act has emerged as one of the nation's most potent weapons against corporate greed. Giantkillers is the story of that law: why it was needed, how it works, who brought it back to life, how it has survived the many attempts to kill it, and what it has accomplished. Charged with intrigue and courtroom drama, Giantkillers describes how an unlikely team--a conservative senator, a liberal congressman, and a crusading public interest attorney--revitalized one of America's oldest public interest laws that was gutted by lobbyists and almost forgotten. Recounting the battles for justice with a novelist's eye for their human drama, Scammell tells how the trailblazing firm of Phillips and Cohen gave the law back its teeth and made triumphant heroes out of those previously scorned as whistle-blowers.

Journey of a Man

Packing Sneakers and a Gun

By: Henry Morales

When Henry Morales was orphaned at six years of age, he left home carrying sneakers and a bag of toy guns. This memoir follows Morales lifeas a black Puerto Rican-American child funneled through the institutional system of America, to his survival on the streets of Brooklyn, to his twenty-year incarceration, and his life after release. A true story of abandonment, abuse, robbery, and murder, Journey of a Man follows Morales as he loses his family, fights for survival, and evolves into manhood without love or conscience. Born a New York Rican, Morales was sent to a convent after his mother died. Stripped of his identity, he began a quest for acknowledgement of his experiences and his unique existence as a black-Latino. Without personal affection and attention, he turned his institutional homes and the streets of America up-side-down. He did terrible things and experienced vengeful joys. An urban survival story, Journey of a Man records the triumph of the human spirit after spending years floundering on the edge of societys throwaways. This memoir shows how Morales overcame the horrors of his childhood and his criminal past and discovered the peace and beauty of life.
