The title PARVA NATURALIA goes back to the Latin Middle Ages, and though the traditional grouping doesn't include the treatise ON THE MOTION OF ANIMALS, it is included here, since there is strong manuscript evidence, as well as solid substantive reasons, that it ought to be included. For those who wish to study the PARVA NATURALIA with care, it offers access that has hitherto been unavailable in English to the precise meaning of Aristotle's text.

The First World War, or the Great War as known at the time, was fought over a century ago. Its pursuit by the European powers in 1914 was utterly reckless and its ending was of great consequential misfortune for humanity. Despite its enormity and global reach, four generations later it is neglected today in the United States.

America's first appointed woman missionary kept a journal recording her experiences in a multi-ethnic, multi-lingual, religiously pluralistic world. Charlotte Atlee White Rowe's 1815-1822 journal recounts her cross-cultural work among Hindus, Muslims, Eurasians, and Europeans in British India. Most of her entries come from her first years and reveal a ministry being shaped by experience and reflection. An introduction and conclusion sketch her life before and after India. It is a remarkable addition to mission, women's, and Baptist studies.

Baptists historically have shared common beliefs, including believer's baptism, congregational governance, and separation of church and state. This book addresses the question of why Baptists differ in various parts of the world. A central component of the answer lies in part in the variety of cultures where Baptists have planted churches. In order to document the diversities, this study has intentionally sought contributions from Baptist scholars across the world, including Africa, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Latin America, and eastern Europe as well as from western Europe and North America where Baptist presence is more common.

SINCLAIR LEWIS: THE 1920s AND THE SHAPING OF AMERICAN IDENTITY argues the importance of words, ideas, and values in sculpting twentieth-century identity. Here, Agran encourages literary scholars and all students of American culture to recognize that Lewis's reception in the twenties was formidable because of his sensitivity to the nation's history, its promise, and at points its troubling trajectory.

Until now, a daily account (1,630 days) of Georgia's social, political, economic, and military events during the Civil War did not exist. During the 160 years since the conflict's termination, many fine accounts of wartime Georgia have rolled off various presses. Each daily entry derives from a quill scrolling the parchment or a press imprinting type on the day the activity occurred. Maps, footnotes, a detailed index, and bibliographical references will aid those wanting more.

Through the intimacy of personal letters, this primary-source exploration of the Civil War era tells the compelling story of the young men and women of a North Georgia farming family of modest means as they seek places in their quiet communities in the 1850s, live the trauma of the Civil War on the battlefield and at home, and for those who survive, strive to regain peace in a changed world and begin life anew. Their writing concerns Baptist camp meetings, courting rituals, war-rousing speeches, dashes across battlefields, Tories on the home front, and night riders of the Ku Klux Klan.
