This Great Struggle

America's Civil War

Referring to the war that was raging across parts of the American landscape, Abraham Lincoln told Congress in 1862, "We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope on earth." Lincoln recognized what was at stake in the American Civil War: not only freedom for 3.5 million slaves but also survival of self-government in the last place on earth where it could have the opportunity of developing freely. Noted historian Steven E. Woodworth tells the story of what many regard as the defining event in United States history. While covering all theaters of war, he emphasizes the importance of action in the region between the Appalachians and the Mississippi River in determining its outcome. Woodworth argues that the Civil War had a distinct purpose that was understood by most of its participants: it was primarily a conflict over the issue of slavery. The soldiers who filled the ranks of the armies on both sides knew what they were fighting for. The outcome of the war—after its beginnings at Fort Sumter to the Confederate surrender four years later—was the result of the actions and decisions made by those soldiers and millions of other Americans. Written in clear and compelling fashion, This Great Struggle is their story—and ours.

JOHN BROWN'S HARPERS FERRY RAID AND THE ELECTION OF 1860
hroughout the decade of the 1850s, the momentum seemed to shift constantly
back and forth between politics and practical action, between the men in frock
coats and other men who would not hesitate at all to dirty their hands in any
number of ways. John Brown was one such man. He had perpetrated the
Pottawatomie killings in Kansas back in 1856. He had also led antislavery militia
in battle there against ...

Movie Stars and Sensuous Scars

Essays on the Journey from Disability Shame to Disability Pride

"Steve Brown takes us on a profound journey of his many steps, the many turnings of the wheels that have borne him through his life to the present moment. His shock, his anger, his bitterness, and, ultimately, his courage in the face of adversity, not only educate but remind us of his fine humanity as well as our own. His advocacy doesn't preach but teaches. With words describing his life and the lives of those close to him, he opens a wide door through which any who can read or care to grow can pass." -Mark Medoff, Author of Children of a Lesser God "Disability culture is at the heart and soul of the disability movement, and in Steve Brown's writings we see that culture shining in all its glory. " -Mary Johnson, Editor, Ragged Edge magazine "Movie Stars and Sensuous Scars is a powerful book. I strongly relate to Steve's writing and ideas. The writing is clear and flows well. The ideas are beautifully radical. He gives true insight into disability and people with disabilities. His is a voice demanding to be heard." -David Pfeiffer, Disability Studies Quarterly editor

Essays on the Journey from Disability Shame to Disability Pride Steven E. Brown.
A. HEALING. JOURNEY. [I conclude this collection, as I began, with an essay
about my own health, my perspectives about Gaucher Disease, and how it is all
intertwined throughout my life. After years of writing and talking about pain, I felt
compelled to describe this journey once more a few years ago. Many changes
had occurred in my life, including interactions with a variety of alternative healers.

Experimental Design and Analysis

This volume introduces the reader to one of the most fundamental topics in social science statistics: experimental design. The authors clearly show how to select an experimental design based on the number of independent variables and the number of subjects. Other topics addressed include variability, hypothesis testing, how ANOVA can be extended to the multi-group situation, the logic of the t test and completely randomized designs.

Steven R. Brown, Lawrence E. Melamed. SERIES EDITOR'S INTRODUCTION
Social science methods can be divided in two, nonexperimental and
experimental. A key principle of experimental work is manipulation of a treatment
variable (X), followed by observation of a response variable (Y). If I change X,
and Y changes in the hypothesized way, then I am tempted to say X causes Y
However, this causal inference rests on soft ground, unless the experiment has
been properly ...

Implementation of Christian theology in the context of pluralist Indonesia; collection of articles.

Teologi rakyat tidak Identik dengan teologi pembebasan. Referensi teologi rakyat
adalah hasil analisis budaya, sedangkan referensi teologi pembebasan adalah
hasil analisis sosial. Meskipun analisis sosial penting, tekanan teologi
pembebasan pada analisis sosial semata-mata tidak akan mencukupi dalam
menangkap keluasan realitas budaya. Itulah kritik kita terhadap teologi
pembebasan yang berlaku di Indonesia, yang sering dianggap sebagai teologi
