Apologia Pro Vita Sua and Six Sermons

By: John Henry Newman

This newly edited version of John Henry Newman's Apologia Pro Vita Sua sheds new light on Newman's celebrated account of his passage from the Church of England to the Roman Catholic Church and repositions his narrative within the context of transformative religious journeys of other Victorian intellectuals. Frank M. Turner is the first historian of Victorian thought, religion, and culture to edit Newman's classic autobiographical narrative. Drawing on extensive research in contemporary printed materials and archives, Turner's powerfully revisionist Introduction reevaluates and challenges the historical adequacy of previous interpretations of Newman's life and of the Apologia itself. He further presents Newman's volume as a response to ultramontane assertions of papal authority in the l860s. In addition to numerous explanatory textual annotations, the volume includes an Appendix featuring six important Anglican sermons that providesignificant insights into Newman's thought during the years recounted in the Apologia.

The Scientific Method

An Evolution of Thinking from Darwin to Dewey

By: Henry M. Cowles

The surprising history of the scientific method—from an evolutionary account of thinking to a simple set of steps—and the rise of psychology in the nineteenth century. The idea of a single scientific method, shared across specialties and teachable to ten-year-olds, is just over a hundred years old. For centuries prior, science had meant a kind of knowledge, made from facts gathered through direct observation or deduced from first principles. But during the nineteenth century, science came to mean something else: a way of thinking. The Scientific Method tells the story of how this approach took hold in laboratories, the field, and eventually classrooms, where science was once taught as a natural process. Henry M. Cowles reveals the intertwined histories of evolution and experiment, from Charles Darwin’s theory of natural selection to John Dewey’s vision for science education. Darwin portrayed nature as akin to a man of science, experimenting through evolution, while his followers turned his theory onto the mind itself. Psychologists reimagined the scientific method as a problem-solving adaptation, a basic feature of cognition that had helped humans prosper. This was how Dewey and other educators taught science at the turn of the twentieth century—but their organic account was not to last. Soon, the scientific method was reimagined as a means of controlling nature, not a product of it. By shedding its roots in evolutionary theory, the scientific method came to seem far less natural, but far more powerful. This book reveals the origin of a fundamental modern concept. Once seen as a natural adaptation, the method soon became a symbol of science’s power over nature, a power that, until recently, has rarely been called into question.

Another Spring

By: Henry Maxfield

Former WWII fighter pilot, Reed Hunter, married the daughter of a wealthy self-made millionaire. Though he adored her, the high life, paid for by her father, interfered with Hunter's serious intention to become a writer. Her accidental death freed him to get back to work. He chose a small summer resort in N H, rejected her estate and her father's offer of money and went to work living frugally he believed he could produce a publishable work within a year. His life as a recluse didn't last. Invitations from merchants' wives plus: the sudden appearance of Sarah Goodwin like a wood nymph ready, on the advice of her Aunt Pearl, to offer herself as housekeeper; Les Turner, an independent local handyman seeking Hunter's advice on his sexual dilemma with a summer person; Bea Lockwood, a summer person, a college English Instructor, frightened of her gorgeous body. All of that and many more interesting characters you will never forget plus a murder the local Sheriff seems determined not to solve sets Hunter and the Town at odds. Another Spring tells an unusual suspenseful story of high and low life in a rural community more than 50 years ago.
