The Greek & Latin Doctors

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Wand, J. W., PUBLISHER: Wyndham Hall Press, Today, when not only the Anglican Communion specifically but the Church Catholic generally seem in such desperate need of historical moorings for meaningful and productive theological discussions, it seems nothing less than fitting that this classic treatise on the Doctors of the church be brought back into general circulation in order that all those who truly wish to be accurately informed about the origins of the Church's great thoughts might have that opportunity. Today's tragedy in too many theological discussions is two-fold -- the consistent absence of a deep appreciation and understanding of the historical roots of our faith, and the general presumption that the present experience of the Church should automatically be valued more highly than the past experience of the Church. If this little classic does nothing more than contribute to the re-education of the Church Today about the origin and value of the Church Yesterday, then the effort will have been well worthwhile.

Scandalous Behavior: Advice on Dating for Women and Love

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Carroll, Richard, PUBLISHER: PublishAmerica, I have hung out with girls all my life, who I think are more intelligent than men, and the only form of communication I had where I could learn anything of substance was from women. When you are always in the company of women, you always hear both sides of the real story, not the macho and overly exaggerated facts that men give. So really, in essence, women made me the womanizer that I became. I learned so much about women being around them on a constant basis. It's like a wolf among sheep. Women have an overwhelming desire to mother you or to think that they can mold you and try to change you into the imaginary man or husband that they really want, when most women themselves don't really know. That's the principal reason I wrote this novel.

The Healing Land: The Bushmen and the Kalahari Desert

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Isaacson, Rupert, PUBLISHER: Grove/Atlantic, Brought up on stories and myths of the Kalahari Bushmen, Rupert Isaacson journeys to the dry vast grassland -- which stretches across South Africa, Botswana, and Namibia -- to find out the truth behind these childhood stories. Deep in the Kalahari, Isaacson meets the last groups of Bushmen still living the traditional way, caught between their ancient culture and the growing need to protect and reclaim their dwindling hunting grounds. Little by little he is drawn into the fascinating web of ritual and prophecy that make up the Bushman reality. He hears of shamans who turn into lions, sees leopards conjured from the landscape as though by magic. He attends trance-inducing dances and witnesses incredible healings. But he also sees the heart-wrenching social problems of a dispossessed people. What follows is an adventure of an intensity he never could have predicted. The Healing Land records Isaacson's personal transformation amid these extraordinary people, and his passionate contribution to their political struggle. It captures his enchantment with the character, corruption, kindness, and confusion of a place that has wrenched itself from the Stone Age into the new millennium. " This] story... has never been told... by a narrator so openhearted, optimistic, and vulnerable to enchantment.... Highly recommended." -- Rian Malan "A more clear-sighted view of the Bushmen] is long overdue -- which makes Rupert Isaacson's book most welcome." -- The Economist "This is a traveller's book as well as a memoir.... It is well written, engaging, and enlightening." -- Johannesburg Citizen "A beautifully written account that simultaneously intrigues, educates, and fascinates." -- Marie Claire

The Permanent Revolution

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Trotsky, Leon / Schachtman, Max, PUBLISHER: Gutenberg Publishers, Reprint of American Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Trotsky put forward his conception of 'permanent revolution' as an explanation of how socialist revolutions could occur in societies that had not achieved advanced capitalism. Part of his theory is the impossibility of 'socialism in one country' - a view also held by Marx, but not integrated into his conception of permanent revolution. Trotsky's theory also argues, first, that the bourgeoisie in late-developing capitalist countries are incapable of developing the productive forces in such a manner as to achieve the sort of advanced capitalism which will fully develop an industrial proletariat. Second, that the proletariat can and must, therefore, seize social, economic and political power, leading an alliance with the peasantry.
