In "Little Gidding and its Inmates in the Time of King Charles I: With an Account of the Harmonies," John Edward Acland explores the intricate web of social, religious, and artistic life at the renowned Little Gidding community. Drawing from historical records and contemporaneous writings, Acland weaves a narrative rich in detail, revealing how this Anglican sanctuary became a site of intellectual and spiritual refuge during a turbulent era in English history. His literary style melds anecdotal evidence with scholarly analysis, offering readers not just a historical account, but a vivid portrayal of the ideals and struggles that shaped the values of the 17th century. John Edward Acland, a noted historian and scholar of early modern England, was deeply influenced by his own background in Puritan thought and the socio-political currents of his time. His academic pursuits often intersected with an interest in the intersection of spirituality and scholarship. Acland''s own experiences in the broader cultural landscape of England likely provided the impetus for his meticulous examination of Little Gidding, a notable example of a spiritual community striving for harmony amidst societal discord. This book is a vital read for anyone interested in the nuanced interplay between faith, art, and societal change during the English Civil War. Acland''s insightful analysis not only broadens our understanding of Little Gidding but also invites us to consider the broader implications of such communities within the tapestry of English history. It is a must-read for historians, theologians, and literary enthusiasts alike.

This second volume completes a critical history of the social, political, and theoretical forces behind Marxian economics--the only work in English to offer such comprehensive treatment. Beginning with Marxian analyses of the Great Depression and Stalinism, it explores the theories developed to explain the "long boom" in Western capitalism after the Second World War. Later chapters deal with post-Leninist theories of imperialism and continuing controversies in value theory and the theory of exploitation. After outlining recent work on the "second slump," the integration of rational-choice theory into Marxism, and the political economy of socialism, the book concludes with a review and evaluation of Marxian theory over the whole period since Marx''s death. Praise for the first volume: "Howard and King have done an excellent job... One comes away with the impression of Marxian economics being a vibrant subject, relevant to the problems of these times and useful in practical matters."--Meghnad Desai, The Times Higher Education Supplement Originally published in 1992.

The Tornado gives account of one of the world’s most terrifying natural disasters. Twisters have left their wake of freakish consequences throughout the United States and the world, and The Tornado vividly describes some of the most bizarre from around the country—houseboats sailing through the air; cars flown to a landing half a cornfield away; an entire house lifted and demolished, leaving only a divan holding the uninjured family. The most detailed description of a tornado and the violence it can bring comes from the author’s focus on the tragedy of one American town in 1953. John Edward Weems was an eyewitness reporter of a funnel that hit Waco, Texas, on May 11 of that year. In gripping narrative, he portrays the events of that day: a man clinging to a guard rail while a mailbox, plate glass, bricks, and assorted debris whizzed past his head; automobiles rolling end on end down the street; buildings falling like blocks knocked down by an angry child; a movie theater crumbling on the terrified patrons. When the storm had passed, 114 people were dead and hundreds injured; property damage ran in the tens of millions of dollars. Research in news reports, government weather documents, and books flesh out this account, which Pulitzer-prize winner Annie Dillard called “wonderfully exciting. It is full of people, and the thousands of details that make up their lives—and deaths. [It is] a story of enormous power.” John Banta, writing in the Waco Tribune-Herald, described it as “a gripping story of human drama and tragedy.” Kirkus Reviews said, “. . . the events still chill face to face with a power that defies reason.” Royalties from the sale of The Tornado will benefit the book fund of the Waco-McLennan County Public Library.
