Julian of Norwich, a "simple creature unlettered" and the achoress of St. Julian Church in Norwich, received a revelation from God in 1373 that inspired her to write A Revelation of Love in two forms, commonly called the long and short texts. The short text, written after the revelation, reflects the immediacy of Julian's experience, whereas the long text shows the fruit of two decades of reflection. This book provides a close and historically sensitive reading of Julian's Revelation of Love that addresses the question of the relationship between our understanding of God and our vision of human community. By examining Julian's images of Christ's body, this book looks for the political implications of Julian's visions. A must read for the Christian political scientist.

One effect of European Romanticism in America was the advent of a fictional account of the American Founding. Beginning c. 1830, many Americans, principally in the Whig Party, explained the American constitution as the work of "one people." Virginia, where the Jeffersonians and, later, the Jacksonians were dominant, remembered things the way they actually had been: 13 states had each ratified the constitution for itself on the basis of its own understanding of that document. In this book, Thornton Miller, whose title shows that he accepts the Whig account, explores the effects of Virginians' opposition to the _ipse dixit_ constitutionalism of John Marshall, Joseph Story, Daniel Webster, and their ilk. Despite Miller's mistaken suppositions, this is an excellent book.

This is a good introduction to the Hopi and their reaction to the influence of white culture, focusing on the effects on the Katsina religion. This is not so much a book about Katsina dolls, but about the religion and how it has changed under the pressure of white culture. Very nice illustrations, well written.

This is the most comprehensive book on the Kachina to date. This book is the only one where the illustrator has depicted not only the front of the figure, but also the back and this makes this book a must to own for anyone who studies the Kachina or who is an artist and wants to be completely accurate in the depiction of the figure. The figures are historically and spiritually exact and are certainly meant as a tribute to the figure as a revered being.Truly a fine publication and well worth the cost.

This is the fourth volume of the massive 50 volume undertaking started by International Publishers of New York in 1975. The entire 50 volume set attempts to collect in one place an English version of everthing written by Karl Marx and Frederick Engels.

Marx and Engels writing in the nineteenth century had vastly more impact on the twentieth century than on their own century. The Collected Works provides the reader with not only a description and analysis of events as they happened, the 1848 revolutionary upsurge across Europe, the Crimean War, the Paris Commune and even the United States Civil War, but also provides ample background into the thoughts of Marx and Engels through the publication of their letters to each other as well as to third parties.

The fourth volume itself, covering the years 1844-1845, contains the classic article "The Holy Family" on which both writers collaborated and Engels' article "The Condition of the Working Class in England." These articles alone are worthy additions to the library of a person attempting to understand Marxism.

This is the eighth volume of the massive 50 volume set of all the writings of Karl Marx and Frederick Engels started in 1975 by International Publishers of New York. This volume contains many of the articles Mars and Engels wrote for the Neue Rheinische Zeitung describing and analyzing the events of the great revolutionary upsurge which swept the nations of Europe in 1848. Everyone of the 50 volumes are extensively footnoted which effectively provides the reader with the necessary background information needed to assure a complete understanding of the events and people described in the articles contained those volumes. This is truly a historic and well-organized undertaking on the part of the editors at International Publishers.

This is the 3rd volume of the 50 volume set of the Collected Works of Marx and Engels. The entire 50 volume set is mamouth collection of everything ever written by Karl Marx and Frederich Engels.

Volume 3 covers the years 1843-1844 and contains the important article "Contribution to the Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Law" as well as the "Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts of 1844." Also contained in this volume is Engel's "Letters from London" and "Outlines of a Critique of Political Economy" which laid the foundation from his significant series of articles called "The Condition of the England." which later became "The condition of the Working Class in England" published in Volume 4 of this edition.

This is the first of the massive 50 volume set of everything ever written by Karl Marx and Frederick Engels.

This volume contains the Doctoral Disertation and other early works of Karl Marx. It is a very interesting view into the early beliefs of the great nineteenth century thinker and economist.

This is the secnond of the huge 50 volume undertaking of International Publishers to collect and translate into English everything ever written by Karl Marx and Frederick Engels into one set of books.

This is truly an historic and valuable contribution to reseach into history and political economy. The second volume contains the earliest writings of Frederick Engels. It is a very interesting tool in studying the development of the journalistic style of Engels. Engels' writing was always easier to read that Marx's. The entire 50 volume set is a worthy addition to the library of any one attempting to understand the development of Marxism from its earliest roots.

This is Volume 4 of the historic 50 volume set of everything ever written by Karl Marx and Frederick Engels. The mammoth undertaking was initiated by International Publishers of New York City in 1975 and continued until all 50 volumes were published.

Volume 4 covers the years 1844 thru 1845 and contains "The Holy Family" written by Marx and Engels jointly and "The Condition of the Working Class in England" written by Engels alone and which was drawn from his series of articles called "The Condition in England" published in Volume 3 of this edition.
