Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Short, plain, balding, neither soldier nor orator, low on charisma and high on intelligence, Madison cared more about achieving results than taking the credit. To reach his lifelong goal of a self-governing constitutional republic, he blended his talents with those of key partners. It was Madison who led the drive for the Constitutional Convention and pressed for an effective new government as his patron George Washington lent the effort legitimacy; Madison who wrote the Federalist Papers with Alexander Hamilton to secure the Constitution's ratification; Madison who corrected the greatest blunder of the Constitution by drafting and securing passage of the Bill of Rights with Washington's support; Madison who joined Thomas Jefferson to found the nation's first political party and move the nation toward broad democratic principles; Madison, with James Monroe, who guided the new nation through its first war in 1812, really its Second War of Independence; and it was Madison who handed the reins of government to the last of the Founders, his old friend and sometime rival Monroe"--

Download or read book David s Gift written by H. G. Keller and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2013-10 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barry and Susan Nelson's firstborn, David, is one of those very rare children who gets bored after having mastered quantum mechanics by his ninth birthday. Raising him in the Christian faith, they soon find that he is asking piercing theological questions concerning evolution vs Creation, and that they need expert help in providing him with answers. In the same way they sought out college professors to tutor him in advanced mathematics and physics, they turn to their church's pastor, who is both a medical doctor and a Doctor of Philosophy. Rev. Johnson's incredibly detailed discussions with David examine every facet of the debate. David's Gift is a fictional tale of an absolutely non-fiction issue, addressed comprehensively by an author who clearly has a deep understanding of what he refers to as Evolutionized Creation. There is, Keller contends in the Introduction, no reason to abandon your Creationist beliefs, especially not when the science so clearly supports the reality of a Creator.A story of new faith, lost faith renewed and the staggering complexity and ineradicable beauty of a perfect Creation. HG Keller was born in a small Nebraska town where he spent the first 38 years as a Medical Technologist, an engineer and sales assistant. He moved to Virginia to work as a sales representative and after 22 years retired and moved to Colorado to live closer to his children and grandchildren. Throughout his life he has studied evolutionary science and biology. He has wrestled with the idea of a creator and the theory of neo-Darwinism. He has been waiting for someone to come along and resolve the mystery of human creation. David's Gift is an effort to put forth ideas on how it all could have happened.

Download or read book Book of David written by David Steinberg and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2007-06-12 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From award-winning comedian, director, writer, and producer David Steinberg comes the totally original, utterly blasphemous, and hysterically funny memoir of a young man who emerged from a traditional Jewish childhood to become an international star—all because, it seems, he kept God in stitches. David Steinberg was raised in Winnipeg, Canada, by parents who expected little from him. And no wonder. Instead of studying Talmud in order to become a rabbi, he chose to major in Martin and Lewis with a minor in basketball. As David imagines the story of his life (since his success otherwise makes no sense), God one day spotted him on the playground and decided that this young man with no ambition could go far with His help. Sure enough, God soon had David on network TV and Broadway, and selling out nightclubs across the country—as well as being pursued by hot starlets. The Book of David is David Steinberg's hilarious trip down memory lane, assuming that the lane has a biblical address. This wild riff on the Old Testament is guaranteed laughter.

Download or read book Nachituti s Gift written by David M. Gordon and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2006-02-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nachituti’s Gift challenges conventional theories of economic development with a compelling comparative case study of inland fisheries in Zambia and Congo from pre- to postcolonial times. Neoclassical development models conjure a simple, abstract progression from wealth held in people to money or commodities; instead, Gordon argues, primary social networks and oral charters like “Nachituti’s Gift” remained decisive long after the rise of intensive trade and market activities. Interweaving oral traditions, songs, and interviews as well as extensive archival research, Gordon’s lively tale is at once a subtle analysis of economic and social transformations, an insightful exercise in environmental history, and a revealing study of comparative politics. Honorable Mention, Melville J. Herskovits Award, African Studies Association “A powerful portrayal of the complexity, fluidity, and subtlety of Lake Mweru fishers’ production strategies . . . . Natchituti’s Gift adds nuance and evidence to some of the most important and sophisticated conversations going on in African studies today.”—Kirk Arden Hoppe, International Journal of African Historical Studies “A lively and intelligent book, which offers a solid contribution to ongoing debates about the interplay of the politics of environment, history and economy.”—Joost Fontein, Africa “Well researched and referenced . . . . [Natchituti’s Gift] will be of interest to those in a wide variety of disciplines including anthropology, African Studies, history, geography, and environmental studies.”—Heidi G. Frontani, H-SAfrica

Book excerpt: "A masterpiece of contemporary Bible translation and commentary."—Los Angeles Times Book Review, Best Books of 1999 Acclaimed for its masterful new translation and insightful commentary, The David Story is a fresh, vivid rendition of one of the great works in Western literature. Robert Alter's brilliant translation gives us David, the beautiful, musical hero who slays Goliath and, through his struggles with Saul, advances to the kingship of Israel. But this David is also fully human: an ambitious, calculating man who navigates his life's course with a flawed moral vision. The consequences for him, his family, and his nation are tragic and bloody. Historical personage and full-blooded imagining, David is the creation of a literary artist comparable to the Shakespeare of the history plays.
