Global Christianity and the Early Letters of Horace G. Underwood

By: James Jinhong Kim

Who was Horace G. Underwood, and what possible significance could another missionary of the nineteenth century have to help us rethink our approach to global Christianity and mission in the twenty-first century? As the first Protestant missionary to set foot in Korea, “the last hermit kingdom,” Underwood is regularly credited with Christianity’s unparalleled success and continuing fervent presence in Korea today, including its corps of over 27,000 fulltime missionaries in 170 countries around the globe, second only to the US in the number of missionaries sent to foreign lands. But as extraordinary as his journey to Korea may have been for this arguably most under-recognized Protestant missionary of all time, it may be his journey from it that offers us vital insights for the future of missions. From the making of Underwood through his formative years in England, France, and America, to the Neo-Confucian culture he encountered among the people in Korea, this book culminates with the presentation and analysis of his previously unknown private letters from the years between 1884 and 1898, showing us the gradual process of interculturation he himself underwent as a missionary that allowed him to discover and encourage glocal—global yet local—expression of faith in Korea.

Historical Dictionary of the Republic of Korea

By: James E. Hoare

The Korean Peninsula lies at the strategic heart of East Asia, between China, Russia, and Japan, and has been influenced in different ways and at different times by all three of them. Across the Pacific lies the United State, which has also had a major influence on the peninsula since the first encounters in the mid-nineteenth century. Faced by such powerful neighbors, the Koreans have had to struggle hard to maintain their political and cultural identity. The result has been to create a fiercely independent people. If they have from time to time been divided, the pressures towards unification have always proved strong. This third edition of Historical Dictionary of the Republic of Korea covers its history through a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 500 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the Republic of Korea.

Sanguine Fluid

Double Novel Edition

By: James Spade

Have you ever read a book or saw a movie that left you thankful such horrible things don?t happen in quiet neighborhoods like yours or to good people like you? But, at night, you lock your doors and windows anyway, right? Why?I?ll tell you why. It?s because you know that, every once and a while, the blood from malevolent metropolitans spills into suburban and even rural havens. It?s never anything you?ve said or done wrong, nor is it retribution for some past sin. You?ve just been chosen to die, and there isn?t a thing you can do about it.

Presidents in Florida

How the Presidents Have Shaped Florida and How Florida Has Influenced the Presidents

By: James C Clark

U.S. Presidents have played a major role in shaping Florida, whether waging wars, protecting the environment, seeking votes, or just drawing media attention to the state's attractions. Thomas Jefferson set out to buy Florida, but ended up making the Louisiana Purchase instead. Andrew Jackson came to fight Indians when La Florida was still a Spanish colony and then became the first territorial governor. Abraham Lincoln came up with the plan to get Florida back into the Union in 1864 to help his reelection chances. Ulysses S. Grant came to promote steamships on the St. Johns River. Warren G. Harding played golf with an elephant as a caddie, and Chester Arthur went fishing in Orlando. Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders sailed to glory from Tampa, but nearly missed the boat. Herbert Hoover came to Florida to spend time with his friends, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and Harvey Firestone, and held the Florida record for catching the largest bonefish. Days before his inauguration, an assassination attempt was made on Franklin Roosevelt as he spoke in a Miami park. Roosevelt's yacht was anchored at Fort Lauderdale when a massive hurricane swept it inland. Roosevelt tried to sell it as a hunting lodge. Harry Truman launched a campaign to defeat a Florida Senator, and had a house in Key West called the Little White House. Nixon killed the Cross Florida Barge Canal, becoming a hero to environmentalists. After winning election, he purchased a home in Florida and was there during the Watergate burglary. George W. Bush launched his political career in Florida, working for a successful Senate candidate. And of course it was the contested Florida vote, with its "hanging-chad" ballots, that gave him reelection in 2000. Learn about all of these men and more in this unique take on Florida history.

Civil War Stories from the Buffalo Trace

By: James R. Columbia

The Buffalo Trace area - Mason, Bracken, Fleming, Robertson & Lewis counties in northeastern Kentucky, and Adams, Brown & Clermont counties in southwestern Ohio - occupies a unique place in Civil War history.

Whose Fair?

Experience, Memory, and the History of the Great St. Louis Exposition

By: James Gilbert

The 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair was a major event in early-twentieth-century America. Attracting millions of tourists, it exemplified the Victorian predilection for public spectacle. The Fair has long served as a touchstone for historians interested in American culture prior to World War I and has endured in the memories of generations of St. Louis residents and visitors. In Whose Fair? James Gilbert asks: what can we learn about the lived experience of fairgoers when we compare historical accounts, individual and collective memories, and artifacts from the event? Exploring these differing, at times competing, versions of history and memory prompts Gilbert to dig through a rich trove of archival material. He examines the papers of David Francis, the Fair’s president and subsequent chief archivist; guidebooks and other official publications; the 1944 film Meet Me in St. Louis; diaries, oral histories, and other personal accounts; and a collection of striking photographs. From this dazzling array of sources, Gilbert paints a lively picture of how fairgoers spent their time, while also probing the ways history and memory can complement each other.

In his exploration of insect societies that don't fit the eusocial schema, James T. Costa gives these interesting phenomena their due. He synthesizes the scattered literature about social phenomena across the arthropod phylum: beetles and bugs, caterpillars and cockroaches, mantids and membracids, sawflies and spiders.

Twits, Nitwits, and Misfits

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Twits, Nitwits, and Misfits

By: James O. Robinson

Real-life twits, nitwits, and misfits (TNMs) tend to annoy, antagonize, and alienate anyone with whom they associate. They can't help it. But the fictional oddball personalities featured in Twits, Nitwits, and Misfits - the book - could never inflict real-life trauma on anyone. So they're safe, and often even amusing, for the book's readers to hang out with page to page. TNM's behavioral patterns and habits often overlap and interlace. Even the author can't always distinguish twits from nitwits and misfits. That's because twits often behave like nitwits. Then, with minimal practice and some coaxing, they morph easily into lifelong societal misfits. The few average Joes depicted in this book are, of course, readily recognizable as welcome company. As an aside, the person who composed this book's foreword appears to be working at cross-purposes with the book's author. Although usually (ostensibly) written to tout a book's own merits, this foreword tends instead to tout and extensively catalogue it's own writer's talent, experience, and accomplishments. But, whatever the purpose, readers may believe this foreword could have been written by one of the fictional twits, nitwits, or misfits (or perhaps even one of the average Joes on a bad day) who populate the book itself. This book's 82 vignettes introduce a minihorde of dysfunctional or malfunctioning males and females. Desperation, turmoil, strife, conflict, despair, and instability - but thankfully, not yet pestilence - burden or perhaps even seem to overwhelm or traumatize their lives. Included among the book's dozens of fictional, difficult-to-cope-with characters are: Two sets of cross-dressing spouses... A 350-lb giant with chronic fatigue syndrome... Harry the Heister, who doubles as a panhandling pickpocket and a pickpocketing panhandler... Eddie Rostovitch and his very serious foot fetish... A horny goat-weed addict... The woman who wants to stuff her dead husband...

The Sigel Regiment

A History of the Twenty-Sixth Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, 1862-1865

The Sigel Regiment

A History of the Twenty-Sixth Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, 1862-1865

By: James S. Pula

The 26th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry was quietly mustered into service in Milwaukee on September 17, 1862-the bloodiest day in American history. Composed primarily of German immigrants and Americans of German descent, the 26th fought and bled its way into the record books as one of FoxÕs ÒFighting 300Ó regiments. James S. PulaÕs The Sigel Regiment: A History of the 26th Wisconsin Volunteers, 1862-1865, is the first book to examine this regimentÕs storied yet overlooked history. The 26thÕs service spanned three years and three theaters of war. The ÒSigel Regiment,Ó named after German General Franz Sigel, was initially absorbed into the Army of the Potomac, and attached to the 2nd Brigade, 3rd Division, HowardÕs 11th Army Corps. Its bloody battlefield debut took place at Chancellorsville on May 2, 1863, where the Wisconsin soldiers found themselves on the receiving end of one of the most successful surprise attacks in military history. Outnumbered, outflanked, and caught in a crossfire, the battling regiment and its Colonel William Jacobs refused to fall back before the onslaught until twice ordered to do so. Similar ill-luck two months later ensconced the regiment north of Gettysburg, where the Badger State troops, this time under Lt. Col. Hans Boebel, left another 250 men on the field. By the time the 26th Wisconsin shipped out that fall for service in the Western Theater, hardened combat veterans who had seen the worst war has to offer populated its ranks. Service in Tennessee with the Army of the Cumberland lessened the regimentÕs exposure to hard combat only temporarily. Burdened with political strife and facing a cold winter, the Wisconsin men marched and skirmished their way through the fall and early winter campaigns of Chattanooga and Knoxville. The spring of 1864 brought with it another season of bloodshed when General William T. Sherman determined to drive deep into Georgia and capture Atlanta. Fighting now as part of the 20th Corps, the 26th Wisconsin distinguished itself on a number of fields, including Resaca, New Hope Church, Kennesaw Mountain, and Peach Tree Creek. The thinning German regiment achieved a special distinction at Peach Tree Creek by capturing the flag of the 33rd Mississippi Infantry. After the fall of Atlanta, the men of the 26th tramped to Savannah on the March to the Sea, and north into the Carolinas, where more hard fighting at Averasboro and Bentonville awaited them. By the end of the war, 1,089 men had served in the 26thÕs ranks; more than 17% were killed or mortally wounded. PulaÕs gracefully written and superbly researched The Sigel Regiment: A History of the 26th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, 1862-1865, is a distinguished study of a fighting ethnic regiment.

All but Forgotten

By: James L. Emch

On a cold wet May day in 1813, during the War of 1812, Colonel William Dudley led a green regiment of Kentucky militia against the British and their Indian allies in an effort to relieve the siege of Fort Meigs. Their effort to capture the British cannons on the shore opposite Fort Meigs proved to be a success. Their failure to follow orders and return to their boats and cross over to the safety of Fort Meigs would lead to what would become known as Dudleys Defeat or the Dudley Massacre. Base on several years of research, James Emch has pieced together a chronological running narrative of the Dudley Massacre based on military reports, accounts of those present, family histories, old manuscripts, and diaries. The result of his effort is the first book ever written about those fateful events on May 5, 1813, that helped changed the old Northwest Territory forever.
