Book Description

King Manasseh of Judah is one of the most intriguing characters in the Bible. 2 Kings presents him as the wickedest of monarchs. In 2Kgs 24:3–4, he is accused of having provoked God to destroy Judah on account of the innocent blood he had shed in Jerusalem (cf. 2Kgs 21:16). In his study Krzysztof Kinowski investigates this accusation, viewing it against the biblical and ancient Near East backgrounds, and casts a new light upon Manasseh's role in the fall of Jerusalem. The mention of bloodshed in this affair appears to be the outcome of a process of scapegoating of Manasseh, ongoing in 2 Kings and reflecting both the legal and the cultic paradigms governing the biblical historiography. The link between Manasseh's bloodshed and the destruction of Judah on account of the cultic land's blood-defilement points towards a group of priestly scribes involved in the production of the 2Kgs 21 and 24 narratives. This assumption lies behind the scholarly discussion about the Priestly-like strata and priestly touches in the Books of Kings.

Book Description

In his deeply penetrating and educational book,Bloodshed Before Birth—America's ChoiceMallard E. Guy, Jr., sets out to prove to the world that a fetus is a life, and taking that life through abortion is murder. Though abortion has always been a controversial topic, Mallard's extensive research brings a new viewpoint to the table. With faith-based reasoning, biblical references, an examination of the infamous Roe v. Wade case, and hard science, Mallard's writing will truly make even the most hard and fast pro-choice advocate think about the injustice involved in this issue. By persuading the misinformed and uninformed with his logical reasoning, millions of Americans can soon call themselves pro-life. And once all the evidence has been presented, Mallard calls those who haven't spoken on this issue to come to action. Without a voice against abortion, it can never be stopped.'Unless those who are silent join with those already actively opposing abortion, we will be outnumbered. Further, our acceptance of legalized abortion has placed us on a downward path toward more legalized murders. Now is the time to take a stand for the sanctity of all human life, especially the lives of unborn children. Are you going to stand up?'

Book Description

Through studying images of blood in film from the mid-1950s to the end of the 1960s, this path-breaking book explores how blood as an (audio)visual cinematic element went from predominately operating as a signifier, providing audiences with information about a film’s plot and characters, to increasingly operating in terms of affect, potentially evoking visceral and embodied responses in viewers. Using films such as The Return of Dracula, The Tingler, Blood Feast, Two Thousand Maniacs, Color Me Blood Red, Bonnie and Clyde, and The Wild Bunch, Rødje takes a novel approach to film history by following one (audio)visual element through an exploration that traverses established standards for film production and reception. This study does not heed distinctions regarding to genres (horror, western, gangster) or models of film production (exploitation, independent, studio productions) but rather maps the operations of cinematic images across marginal as well as more traditionally esteemed cinematic territories. The result is a book that rethinks and reassembles cinematic practices as well as aesthetics, and as such invites new ways to investigate how cinematic images enter relations with other images as well as with audiences.

Book Description

This book is the first to recover and analyse at length the extent, complexity, and character of African American responses to the Nigerian Civil War (1967–1970). Far from having only marginal significance, the Nigerian Civil War collided at full velocity with the conflicting discourses and ideas by which black Americans sought to understand their place in the United States and the world in the late 1960s. Black civil rights leaders offered their service as agents of direct diplomacy during the conflict, seeking to preserve Nigerian unity; grassroots activists organised food-drives, concerts, and awareness campaigns in support of humanitarian aid for victims of famine in the warzone; while other black activists warned of an imminent genocide and called for an united response from black Americans. Drawing on private papers, activist literature, government records, and especially the black press, it charts the way the civil war shaped, as well as challenged, the worldview of African Americans regarding black internationalist solidarities, territorial sovereignty and political viability, humanitarian compassion, and the political trajectory of postcolonial Africa. With a chronological approach, this study is the ideal resource for all those interested in the Nigerian Civil War and the history of black internationalism.

Puzzles are a great way to learn about a subject, and what could be better during a presidential election year than crosswords about America’s leaders and their spouses? Because they’re so much fun to do, kids will easily absorb and remember the historical facts each one conveys. And these crosswords have a smart twist: instead of solving clues to come up with the right words, children are actually given words to fit into the grid. Their challenge is to figure out where the answer goes. Every puzzle features an entertaining story with phrases that appear in ALL CAPS and bold type. These are the words that belong in the grid, and by counting the letters, kids can begin to place them correctly.
