New Releases by Eric Thomas

"This final report was prepared by Bruno Losch, Sandrine Fraeguin-Gresh and Eric White (World Bank), with contributions of Thierry Giordano and Jean-Franocois Baeliaeres (Cirad). It was peer-reviewed by Derek Byerlee, Don Larson (World Bank), and Andrae Pouilles-Duplaix (AFD). The report draws extensively on two sets of seven country reports and data work developed by the national teams during the two phases of the RuralStruc Program."

Informed by the pragmatism of John Dewey, this book argues the practical benefits for public policy of a rigorous experimentalist approach to applying moral theory.

From homeless high school dropout to one of the most sought after motivational speakers in the country, Eric Thomas has truly found the Secret 2 Success. In this, his debut autobiography, Eric shares that secret with the rest of the world. By chronicling his days sleeping in abandoned buildings in the unforgiving Detroit winters, to his rise as a successful husband, father, CEO, educator and motivational speaker, Eric inspires the masses to reach greatness. In 2009 one of Eric?s speeches entitled Secrets 2 Success surfaced on YouTube and quickly went viral reaching over 1 million views. It was the response to this video and the subsequent thousands of emails and phone call from viewers ranging from high school teachers and students, to professional athletes and CEO?s of fortune 500 companies seeking Eric?s advice on how to reach their maximum potential that ultimately led to the writing of this book. In the book, Eric not only details his struggles and successes, he also provides invaluable advice on how anyone can take their life from its current state to places they never dreamed imaginable.

"Contre le poison de l''Afrique, il n''y a qu''un remède : Vichy". Ainsi se prononçait une publicité pour la station thermale de l''Allier en 1924. Ce livre s''appuie sur des archives sur quatre continents pour retracer le lien étroit, pourtant resté largement oublié jusqu''ici, entre colonisation française et thermalisme. En effet, dès le XIXe siècle, sinon avant, le thermalisme est apparu en France comme un moyen d''enrayer les taux de mortalité élevés dans les pays chauds, niais aussi de "ressourcer" les coloniaux, soit par des cures thermales dans des Vichys malgaches, réunionnais, antillais, tunisiens etc, soit en rapatriant les coloniaux vers des villes d''eaux métropolitaines. Cela entraîna un impressionnant système de rapatriements, de permissions, et de congés sanitaires. L''ouvrage conjugue l''histoire de la médecine, des pratiques coloniales, des mentalités, des sciences et de l''administration, et s''intéresse à plusieurs cas d''études : la Guadeloupe (Dolé-les-Bains, la Ravine chaude, notamment), la Réunion (Chaos, Salazie), Madagascar (Antsirabe), la Tunisie (Korbous), ainsi que trois stations métropolitaines : Vals-les-Bains, Encausse-les-Thermes et Vichy.

In Rawls, Dewey, and Constructivism, Eric Weber examines and critiques John Rawls'' epistemology and the unresolved tension - inherited from Kant - between Representationalism and Constructivism in Rawls'' work. Weber argues that, despite Rawls'' claims to be a constructivist, his unexplored Kantian influences cause several problems. In particular, Weber criticises Rawls'' failure to explain the origins of conceptions of justice, his understanding of "persons" and his revival of Social Contract Theory. Drawing on the work of John Dewey to resolve these problems, the book argues for a rigorously constructivist approach to the concept of justice and explores the practical implications of such an approach for Education.

Traditionally, Christians and church leaders compartmentalize their lives into growing spiritually and serving other people. One studies the Bible, worships or serves others without much thought for how these spiritual disciplines of formation and missional living impact and influence one another. Through a designed pastoral experiment involving twenty-four individuals in three community groups, this project proves that missional living combined with spiritual practices increases the spiritual growth in the members of The Baptist Church of Beaufort (SC)..

In July of 1947, Superlative Publications, based in Streator, Illinois, released a new pulp magazine by the name of Superlative Tales. Due to unmitigated and coincidential circumstances, the publication was only on newsstands for less than a month. There has been much spectulation as to why it was pulled form the shelves. Whatever the reason, this publication has not been seen by anyone until it was rediscovered once again in 2000 by Anthony Feinman. Now, for the first time in 59 years, Ink & Feathers Comics is releasing the pulp that time forgot! Complete with original ads, art, and layouts, Superlative Tales is truly a blast from the past! Featuring stories by Maxwell Wild, Judith Blank, Arthur Ford, Gordon Cabot, Thomas Egan, and "Barky" McBarkton with permission by their decendents, Myke Feinman, Valerie McCann, Andy Bowers, Andy Hall, Jay E Dickerson, Eric T Gradberg, and Anthony Feinman.

Sulfolobus turreted icosahedral virus (STIV) was isolated from acidic hot springs of Yellowstone National Park and was the first hyperthermophilic virus described with icosahedral capsid architecture. Structural analysis of the STIV particle and its major capsid protein suggests that it belongs to a lineage of viruses that predates the division of the three domains of life. Functional predictions of the viral proteins are hindered because they lack similarity to sequences of known function. Protein structure, however, may suggest functional relationships that are not apparent from the sequence. Thus, we have initiated crystallographic studies of STIV and expect to gain functional insight into its proteins while illuminating the viral life cycle. These studies may also provide genetic, biochemical, and evolutionary insight into its thermoacidophilic host and the requirements for life in these harsh environments. The first three proteins studied in structural detail are A197, B116, and F93. As anticipated, these structures suggest possible functions. The structure of A197 reveals a glycosyltransferase GT-A fold.

Argues that Wagner''s Tristan and Isolde is a musical and dramatic exposition of metaphysical ideas inspired by Schopenhauer. The book is a critical account of Tristan, in which the drama is shown to develop through the music.

Leading scholars discuss ideology and hotly contested post-structuralist theory.

Quel fut le sort des colonies françaises restées loyales à Vichy ? Cet ouvrage exceptionnel analyse l''enthousiasme réservé à la Révolution nationale en milieu colonial, et les adaptations, mutations, ramifications qu''y connut cette idéologie. Jusqu''ici, les historiens du régime de Vichy et les spécialistes du colonialisme n''avaient pas apprécié l''impact de la Révolution nationale outre-mer. Plus qu''un simple choc psychologique, la défaite de 1940, puis l''avènement de Vichy marquèrent un durcissement des pratiques coloniales, depuis le travail forcé jusqu''au racisme affiché, en passant par l''introduction d''un " folklore authentique ". Juifs et Francs-maçons furent persécutés jusqu''aux confins de l''océan Indien ou de la mer de Chine. En Guadeloupe, l''épuration ode la culture républicaine fut entreprise entre 1940 et 1943... En Indochine, 600 000 jeunes furent embrigadés dans les Chantiers de jeunesse pétainistes. En étudiant pour la première fois la Révolution nationale " sous les tropiques ", cet ouvrage, basé sur un travail d''archives effectué sur quatre continents, ouvre des perspectives inédites : tant sur l''histoire de Vichy que sur celle du colonialisme et de la décolonisation française. Il répond ainsi à une question clef : à quoi aurait ressemblé un régime de Vichy affranchi de toute présence allemande ?

Annotation In this book, noted Bach expert Eric Chafe combines theological, historical, analytical, and interpretive approaches to the cantatas to offer readers and listeners alike the richest possible experience of these works.

Chester (former college economics instructor and current activist and author) makes extensive use of recently declassified documents to show how President Lyndon Johnson used the CIA, the Pentagon, and the State Department to suppress the 1965 popular rebellion in the Dominican Republic in order to insure an outcome favorable to US interests. c.
