A Passion for Birds: American Ornithology after Audubon by Mark V. Barrow Jr. English | January 12, 1998 | ISBN: 0691044023, 0691049548 | True EPUB/PDF | 326 pages | 21.9/41.96 MB In the decades following the Civil War-as industrialization, urbanization, and economic expansion increasingly reshaped the landscape-many Americans began seeking adventure and aesthetic gratification through avian pursuits. By the turn of the century, hundreds of thousands of middle-and upper-class devotees were rushing to join Audubon societies, purchase field guides, and keep records of the species they encountered in the wild. Mark Barrow vividly reconstructs this story not only through the experiences of birdwatchers, collectors, conservationists, and taxidermists, but also through those of a relatively new breed of bird enthusiast: the technically oriented ornithologist. In exploring how ornithologists struggled to forge a discipline and profession amidst an explosion of popular interest in natural history, A Passion for Birds provides the first book-length history of American ornithology from the death of John James Audubon to the Second World War.

 Stephen C.W. Graves, "A Crisis of Leadership and the Role of Citizens in Black America: Leaders of the New School" English | ISBN: 0739197908 | 2016 | 202 pages | EPUB | 1041 KB A theoretical examination of the concepts of the citizen, citizenship, and leadership, A Crisis of Leadership and the Role of Citizens in Black America: Leaders of the New School proposes to develop a prototype or model of effective Black leadership. Furthermore, it examines "citizenship habits" of the Black community based on their economic standing, educational attainment, participation in the criminal justice system, and health and family structure. It tracks data in these four categories from 1970 to today, measuring effective leadership by the improvement or decline in the majority of African Americans standing in these four categories. This book concludes that African Americans have negative perceptions of themselves as U.S. citizens, which thus produce "bad citizenship habits." Additionally, ineffective Black leaders since the Civil Rights era have been unwilling to demonstrate the purpose and significance of service, particularly to the poor and disadvantaged members of the Black community. Contemporary Black leaders (post-Civil Rights Era) have focused primarily on self-promotion, careerism, and middle-class interests. A new type of leader is needed, one that stresses unity and reinforces commitment to the group as a whole by establishing new institutions that introduce community-building.

It will not be the church in a bunker or a fortress, striving for its own comfort. Rather, it will be the church that is willing to abandon its own interests in favour of God's Kingdom, willing to make good on its words that Jesus must increase even as it decreases, ready to trade in the decorations of this world for the honours that God bestows in His Kingdom. This book brings home the everyday reality and consequences of spiritual warfare, shows how to recognize and combat the works of the enemy against Jesus's church, and equips us with practical tools with which to engage the enemy as individuals, families and churches.
