In this feminist investigation into the art of preaching—one of the oldest and least studied rhetorical traditions—Roxanne Mountford explores the relationship between bodies, space, race, and gender in rhetorical performance and American Protestant culture. Refiguring delivery and physicality as significant components of the rhetorical situation, The Gendered Pulpit: Preaching in American Protestant Spaces examines the strategies of three contemporary women preachers who have transgressed traditions, rearranged rhetorical space, and conquered gender bias to establish greater intimacy with their congregations.

Mountford’s examinations of the rhetoric inherent in preaching manuals from 1850 to the present provide insight into how "manliness" has remained a central concept in American preaching since the mid-nineteenth century. The manuals illustrate that the character, style, method of delivery, and theological purpose of preachers focused on white men and their cultural standing. Mountford uses the concept of rhetorical space to illustrate how even church architecture bears the mark of a masculine history, which has left contemporary women preachers searching for ways to accommodate themselves to the physicality of preaching.

Three case studies of women preachers who have succeeded or failed in rearranging rhetorical space provide the foundation for the volume. These contemporary examples have important implications for feminist theology and also reveal the importance of gender, space, and bodies to studies of rhetoric in general. Mountford explores the geographies of St. John’s Lutheran Church and the preaching of Rev. Patricia O’Connor who reformed rhetorical space through the delivery of her sermons. At Eastside United Church of Christ, Mountford shows, Rev. Barbara Hill employed narrative style and prophetic utterance in the tradition of black preaching to address gender bias and institute change in her congregation. The final case study details the experiences of Pastor Janet Moore and her struggles at Victory Hills United Methodist Church, where the fractured congregation could not be united even with Pastor Moore’s focus on theological purpose and invention strategies.

As the study of written discourse continues to dominate the humanities and social sciences, The Gendered Pulpit: Preaching in American Protestant Spaces emphasizes the role of physicality, space, and oral performance in rhetoric scholarship. Although rhetoricians have largely neglected physical components, this multifaceted ethnography highlights the importance of the material elements that constitute rhetorical space and performance, showing how theological purpose, arrangement, and style are all forms of spatial strategy.

Miniatury morskie EWM 1-1 - Michał Ozóg - Surigao, ostatni bój gigantów (2006).jpg

Wczesnym rankiem 24 października 1944 r. nad zatoką Leyte, wypełnioną amerykańską flotą Inwazyjną, pojawił się samotny, rozpoznawczy wodnosamolot. Na kadłubie maszyny lśniły symbole czerwonego, wschodzącego słońca - hinomam znaki rozpoznawcze japońskiego lotnictwa. Przestronna, bogato oszklona kabina samolotu mieściła trzy osoby - pilota, radiooperatora oraz obserwatora, który pośpiesznie zaczął zliczać i klasyfikować dostrzeżone okręty. Pośpiech był konieczny - w każdej chwili wodnopłatowiec mógł zostać zauważony przez amerykańskie myśliwce patrolujące niebo nad zatoką. Los powolnego wodnosamolotu byłby wtedy przesądzony. Co więcej, czas odgrywał rolę, ponieważ informacje o pozycji amerykańskich okrętów miały dla Japończyków kluczowe znaczenie. W przeciągu następnych 48 godzin na okalających zatokę wodach Archipelagu Filipińskiego miała rozegrać się bitwa, decydująca o losach Cesarstwa Japońskiego.

James M. Goldgeier, Michael McFaul - Power and Pur pose; U.S. Policy Toward Russia After the Cold War (2003).jpg

Russia, once seen as America’s greatest adversary, is now viewed by the United States as a potential partner. This book traces the evolution of American foreign policy toward the Soviet Union, and later Russia, during the tumultuous and uncertain period following the end of the cold war. It examines how American policymakers—particularly in the executive branch—coped with the opportunities and challenges presented by the new Russia.
Drawing on extensive interviews with senior U.S. and Russian officials, the authors explain George H. W. Bush’s response to the dramatic coup of August 1991 and the Soviet breakup several months later, examine Bill Clinton’s efforts to assist Russia’s transformation and integration, and analyze George W. Bush’s policy toward Russia as September 11 and the war in Iraq transformed international politics. Throughout, the book focuses on the benefits and perils of America’s efforts to promote democracy and markets in Russia as well as reorient Russia from security threat to security ally.
Understanding how three U.S. administrations dealt with these critical policy questions is vital in assessing not only America’s Russia policy, but also efforts that might help to transform and integrate other former adversaries in the future.

National Research Council - Minerals, Critical Min erals, and the U.S. Economy (2008).jpg

This book develops such a methodology and suggests an enhanced federal initiative to collect and analyze the additional data needed to support this type of tool.

Minerals are part of virtually every product we use. Common examples include copper used in electrical wiring and titanium used to make airplane frames and paint pigments.
The Information Age has ushered in a number of new mineral uses in a number of products including cell phones (e.g., tantalum) and liquid crystal displays (e.g., indium). For some minerals, such as the platinum group metals used to make cataytic converters in cars, there is no substitute. If the supply of any given mineral were to become restricted, consumers and sectors of the U.S. economy could be significantly affected.
Risks to minerals supplies can include a sudden increase in demand or the possibility that natural ores can be exhausted or become too difficult to extract. Minerals are more vulnerable to supply restrictions if they come from a limited number of mines, mining companies, or nations. Baseline information on minerals is currently collected at the federal level, but no established methodology has existed to identify potentially critical minerals.

Roby C. Barrett - The Greater Middle East and the Cold War; US Foreign Policy Under Eisenhower and K ennedy (2007).jpg

O USA - Roby C. Barrett - The Greater Middle East and the Cold W...War US Foreign Policy Under Eisenhower and Kennedy 2007.jpg

At the height of the Cold War, the US sought to maintain power and influence in the Greater Middle East – the region from Morocco to India –in the context of a growing threat from Russia and the decline of British imperialism. This original and important study illuminates this tense period in international relations, offering many new insights into the global situation of the 1950s and 1960s.
Roby Barrett casts fresh light on US foreign policy under Eisenhower and Kennedy, drawing on extensive research in archives and document collections from Kansas to Canberra and numerous interviews with key policy makers and observers from both the Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations. He explores the application of the Cold War containment policy through economic development and security assistance, highlighting the fundamental similarities between the goals and application of foreign policy in the Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations as well as the impact of British influence on the process. And in the process this book draws some unexpected conclusions, arguing that Eisenhower’s policies were ultimately more successful than Kennedy’s, and offers an important and revisionist contribution to our understanding of the Cold War and the Middle East.

Charles E. Kirkpatrick - Omar Nelson Bradley; The Centennial (1992).jpg

Omar Nelson Bradley is a commemorative biography of one of America's great military leader. A product of the interwar Army, Bradley honed his leadership and warfighting skills during the 1920s and 1930s and then led America's Army through war and peace in the difficult decades of the 1940s and 1950s. Written in remembrance of the centennial anniversary of Bradley's birth (February 1983), this publication by Charles E. Kirkpatrick traces the young Bradley through the prewar period, follows his rapid transition to positions of greater authority during the war years, and concludes with his assumption of greater responsibilities in the changing postwar world. The biography gives us some valuable insights into the life of a truly legendary figure.

Chris Vials - Realism for the Masses; Aesthetics, Popular Front Pluralism, and U.S. Culture, 1935-19 47 (2009).jpg

Realism for the Masses,is an exploration of how the concept of realism entered mass culture, and from there, how it tried to remake "America." The literary and artistic creations of American realism are generally associated with the late nineteenth century. But this book argues that the aesthetic actually saturated American culture in the 1930s and 1940s and that the left social movements of the period were in no small part responsible. The book examines the prose of Carlos Bulosan and H. T. Tsiang; the photo essays of Margaret Bourke-White in Lifemagazine; the bestsellers of Erskine Caldwell and Margaret Mitchell; the boxing narratives of Clifford Odets, Richard Wright, Nelson Algren; and the Hollywood boxing film, radio soap operas, and the domestic dramas of Lillian Hellman and Shirley Graham, and more. These writers and artists infused realist aesthetics into American mass culture to an unprecedented degree and also built on a tradition of realism in order to inject influential definitions of "the people" into American popular entertainment. Central to this book is the relationship between these mass cultural realisms and emergent notions of pluralism. Significantly, Vials identifies three nascent pluralisms of the 1930s and 1940s: the New Deal pluralism of "We're the People" in The Grapes of Wrath; the racially inclusive pluralism of Vice President Henry Wallace's "The People's Century"; and the proto-Cold War pluralism of Henry Luce's "The American Century."

Elmer Thomas, Richard Lowitt and Carolyn G. Hannem an - Forty Years a Legislator (2007).jpg

Elmer Thomas (1876-1965) represented the people of Oklahoma in the state's first legislature and in Congress. This memoir, written shortly after he left the U.S. Senate in 1951 but never before published, chronicles his long career and offers a wealth of information on people and events that helped shape the development of the state and the course of American history.
Thomas became one of Oklahoma's first state senators in 1907 and was involved with financing the construction of public works. As a member of the U.S. Congress, he made it his business to understand the Federal Reserve System, and as the farm crisis of the 1920s worsened during the Great Depression, he consistently argued for inflating the currency to stimulate the economy--a struggle that became central to his career and that he eventually won.

US Naval Aviation Training (1987).jpg

Every student who pursues the golden wings of Naval Aviation enters the gates of the flight training command with fair measures of trepidation and joyful anticipation. Fear of failure runs in tandem with visions of adventure ahead. There is virtually no way to avoid an encounter with these emotions. Even the most stout of heart or those with lots of flight time beforehand get caught up in them.

James M. Gillispie - Andersonvilles of the North; The Myths and Realities of Northern Treatment of C ivil War Confederate Prisoners (2008).jpg

O USA - James M. Gillispie - Andersonvilles of the North The Myt...thern Treatment of Civil War Confederate Prisoners 2008.jpg

Soon after the close of military operations in the American Civil War, another war began over how it would be remembered by future generations. The prisoner-of-war issue has figured prominently in Northern and Southern writing about the conflict. Northerners used tales of Andersonville to demonize the Confederacy, while Southerners vilified Northern prison policies to show the depths to which Yankees had sunk to attain victory.
Over the years the postwar Northern portrayal of Andersonville as fiendishly designed to kill prisoners in mass quantities has largely been dismissed. The "Lost Cause" characterization of Union prison policies as criminally negligent and inhumane, however, has shown remarkable durability. Northern officials have been portrayed as turning their military prisons into concentration camps where Southern prisoners were poorly fed, clothed, and sheltered, resulting in inexcusably high numbers of deaths.
Andersonvilles of the North, by James M. Gillispie, represents the first broad study to argue that the image of Union prison officials as negligent and cruel to Confederate prisoners is severely flawed. This study is not an attempt to "whitewash" Union prison policies or make light of Confederate prisoner mortality. But once the careful reader disregards unreliable postwar polemics, and focuses exclusively on the more reliable wartime records and documents from both Northern and Southern sources, then a much different, less negative, picture of Northern prison life emerges. While life in Northern prisons was difficult and potentially deadly, no evidence exists of a conspiracy to neglect or mistreat Southern captives. Confederate prisoners' suffering and death were due to a number of factors, but it would seem that Yankee apathy and malice were rarely among them.
In fact, likely the most significant single factor in Confederate (and all) prisoner mortality during the Civil War was the halting of the prisoner exchange cartel in the late spring of 1863. Though Northern officials have long been condemned for coldly calculating that doing so aided their war effort, the evidence convincingly suggests that the South's staunch refusal to exchange black Union prisoners was actually the key sticking point in negotiations to resume exchanges from mid-1863 to 1865.
Ultimately Gillispie concludes that Northern prisoner-of-war policies were far more humane and reasonable than generally depicted. His careful analysis will be welcomed by historians of the Civil War, the South, and of American history.

Steve Bickerstaff - Lines in the Sand; Congression al Redistricting in Texas and the Downfall of Tom DeLay (2007).jpg

O USA - Steve Bickerstaff - Lines in the Sand Congressional Redi...edistricting in Texas and the Downfall of Tom DeLay 2007.jpg

The events of 2003 in Texas were important to the political history of this country. Congressman Tom DeLay led a Republican effort to gerrymander the state's thirty-two congressional districts to defeat all ten of the Anglo Democratic incumbents and to elect more Republicans; Democratic state lawmakers fled the state in an effort to defeat the plan. The Lone Star State uproar attracted attention worldwide. The Republicans won this showdown, gaining six additional seats from Texas and protecting the one endangered Republican incumbent. This outcome has undeniably affected national policy-making and has made it more difficult for Democrats to regain a majority in the U.S. House of Representatives. Some of the methods used by DeLay to achieve this result, however, led to his criminal indictment and ultimately to his downfall.
With its eye-opening research, readable style, and insightful commentary, Lines in the Sand provides a front-line account of what happened in 2003, often through the personal stories of members of both parties and of the minority activist groups caught in a political vortex. Law professor Steve Bickerstaff provides much-needed historical perspective and also probes the aftermath of the 2003 redistricting, including the criminal prosecutions of DeLay and his associates and the events that led to DeLay's eventual resignation from the U.S. House of Representatives.
