Описание: Emory Upton (1839-1881) is widely recognized as one of America's most influential military thinkers. His works - The Armies of Asia and Europe and The Military Policy of the United States - fueled the army's intellectual ferment in the late nineteenth century and guided Secretary of War Elihu Root's reforms in the early 1900s. Yet as David J. Fitzpatrick contends, Upton is also widely misunderstood as an antidemocratic militaristic zealot whose ideas were ""too Prussian"" for America. In this first full biography in nearly half a century, Fitzpatrick, the leading authority on Upton, radically revises our view of this important figure in American military thought. A devout Methodist farm boy from upstate New York, Upton attended the United States Military Academy at West Point and served in the Civil War. His use of a mass infantry attack to break the Confederate lines at Spotsylvania Courthouse in 1864 identified him as a rising figure in the U.S. Army. Upton's subsequent work on military organizations in Asia and Europe, commissioned by Commanding General William T. Sherman, influenced the army's turn toward a European, largely German ideal of soldiering as a profession. Yet it was this same text, along with Upton's Military Policy of the United States, that also propelled the misinterpretations of Upton - first by some contemporaries, and more recently by noted historians Stephen Ambrose and Russell Weigley. By showing Upton's dedication to the ideal of the citizen-soldier and placing him within the context of contemporary military, political, and intellectual discourse, Fitzpatrick shows how Upton's ideas clearly grew out of an American military-political tradition.Emory Upton: Misunderstood Reformer clarifies Upton's influence on the army by offering a new and necessary understanding of the military's intellectual direction at a critical juncture in American history.

I am a member of Christian Stronghold Church, located at 4701 Lancaster Avenue, Philadelphia, where Dr. Willie Richardson is Senior Pastor and Pastor Christopher Bell Sr. is Assistant Pastor.
I crossed over from darkness to light on January 22, 1975, in Atlanta, Georgia. I have been walking the streets of many of our major cities for over forty years, sharing the gospel with primarily young black men.
Inside the pages of this book, I share with you much of the statistics and data on the condition of the black man of America. I believe there are many factors involved in shaping him into the condition he is in today. The findings and experience I have undergone don't speak to the condition of all black men, but rather to those who were left fatherless and raised by a single parent or grandparents.
Covered also is the gross disparity of the justice system, mass incarceration of black men, why black men are attracted to the Islamic religion, and the failed educational system, which all in many ways contributed to the condition of the fatherless men.
I have a deep passion in my soul to help these young men see through the hearing of gospel. They can be delivered from the power of darkness into the kingdom of God (Acts 26:18). In most of the ministries that I serve in, my church consists of working with young problematic men. I teach evangelism in our church institute, teach in drug and alcohol rehabilitation houses, prison ministries, and am leader of a team of men called Urban Soul Warriors, a ministry that goes out in the nighttime hours, reaching out to drug addicts and dealers. We focus our ministry work primarily in the hood, which I consider the most neglected mission field in America.

Conservatism in the Black Community examines the contemporary meanings of Black Conservatism and its influence on black political behavior, providing a basis for understanding the impact this phenomenon has on black political behavior. Lewis analyzes conservatism within the black ideological framework, while also explaining the meaning of conservatism in the black community.
While scholars have argued that the level of support for conservatism among blacks is minimal because conservatism is antithetical to black interest, there are a cadre of conservative political intellectuals and political elites in America. Do their views influence those of the wider Black population? Or does the media merely amplify their voices but with little support? What part of contemporary Black conservatism has found a home in the Tea Party movement?
Focusing on what conservatism means to Blacks at the grassroots level and in what issue areas Blacks as a whole tend to have more conservative views, this work neither critiques nor praises Black Conservatism. The results of Lewis's mix of quantitative and qualitative methodologies will be of strong interest to students and scholars of Black politics, Black studies, and political behavior more generally.

Описание: This book focuses on the political economy of the environment in Asia, examining the economic and political forces that have generated the problems, the political efforts to find solutions, and the economic and political contexts of proposed solutions.
During the Cold War, the U.S. built a series of alliances with Asian nations to erect a bulwark against the spread of communism and provide security to the region. Despite pressure to end bilateral alliances in the postCold War world, they persist to this day, even as new multilateral institutions have sprung up around them. The resulting architecture may aggravate rivalries as the U.S., China, and others compete for influence. However, Andrew Yeo demonstrates how Asia's complex array of bilateral and multilateral agreements may ultimately bring greater stability and order to a region fraught with underlying tensions.
Asia's Regional Architecture transcends traditional international relations models. It investigates change and continuity in Asia through the lens of historical institutionalism. Refuting claims regarding the demise of the liberal international order, Yeo reveals how overlapping institutions can promote regional governance and reduce uncertainty in a global context. In addition to considering established institutions such as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation, he discusses newer regional arrangements including the East Asia Summit, Trans-Pacific Partnership, and the Belt and Road Initiative. This book has important implications for how policymakers think about institutional design and regionalism in Asia and beyond.
