Joseph Smith for President - Spencer W. (associate Managing Historian Mcbride - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

By the election year of 1844, Joseph Smith, the controversial founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, had amassed a national following of some 25,000 believers. Nearly half of them lived in the city of Nauvoo, Illinois, where Smith was not only their religious leader but also the mayor and the commander-in-chief of a militia of some 2,500 men. In less than twenty years, Smith had helped transform the American religious landscape and grown his own political power substantially. Yet the standing of the Mormon people in American society remained unstable. Unable to garner federal protection, and having failed to win the support of former president Martin Van Buren or any of the other candidates in the race, Smith decided to take matters into his own hands, launching his own bid for the presidency. While many scoffed at the notion that Smith could come anywhere close to the White House, others regarded his run—and his religion—as a threat to the stability of the young nation. Hounded by mobs throughout the campaign, Smith was ultimately killed by one—the first presidential candidate to be assassinated.Though Joseph Smith''s run for president is now best remembered—when it is remembered at all—for its gruesome end, the renegade campaign was revolutionary. Smith called for the total abolition of slavery, the closure of the country''s penitentiaries, and the reestablishment of a national bank to stabilize the economy. But Smith''s most important proposal was for an expansion of protections for religious minorities. At a time when the Bill of Rights did not apply to individual states, Smith sought to empower the federal government to protect minorities when states failed to do so.Spencer W. McBride tells the story of Joseph Smith''s quixotic but consequential run for the White House and shows how his calls for religious freedom helped to shape the American political system we know today.

The Humanistic Psychology of Carl Rogers - Stephen A. Joseph - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

The Humanistic Psychology of Carl Rogers - Stephen A. Joseph - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Carl Rogers, one of the most influential psychologists of all time, was a pioneer of humanistic psychology and the originator of the person-centered approach. The person-centered approach is characterized by a trust in people to find their own directions in life when they are in the right social environment: one that is genuine, empathic, and unconditionally accepting. Rogers called it a ''quiet revolution,'' realizing that what he had developed was a way of being in the world and with other people that challenged hierarchical structures of power and control. He sparked a revolution in practice that is still relevant today.Despite Rogers'' legacy, his ideas are often diluted, misrepresented, and misunderstood. The Humanistic Psychology of Carl Rogers positions Rogers'' humanistic approach clearly within contemporary psychology and the wider field of human flourishing. Stephen A. Joseph shows how it is applied to downstream activities such as therapy and coaching, as well as upstream activities such as education and organizational scholarship, and indeed how it can be applied to all human relationships. The book provides a holistic overview of Rogers'' approach, acknowledges its subversive and challenging elements, and details what it can look like in practice. Joseph shows that Rogers'' theory is not just of historical interest, but that its principles are grounded in current scholarship and increasingly recognized as important to solving the problems of the modern world.

Intelligence Success and Failure - Uri Bar Joseph - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Intelligence Success and Failure - Uri Bar Joseph - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

The study of strategic surprise has long concentrated on important failures that resulted in catastrophes such as Pearl Harbor and the September 11th attacks, and the majority of previously published research in the field determines that such large-scale military failures often stem from defective information-processing systems. Intelligence Success and Failure challenges this common assertion that catastrophic surprise attacks are the unmistakable products of warning failure alone. Further, Uri Bar-Joseph and Rose McDermott approach this topic uniquely by highlighting the successful cases of strategic surprise, as well as the failures, from a psychological perspective. This book delineates the critical role of individual psychopathologies in precipitating failure by investigating important historical cases.Bar-Joseph and McDermott use six particular military attacks as examples for their analysis, including: "Barbarossa," the June 1941 German invasion of the USSR (failure); the fall-winter 1941 battle for Moscow (success); the Arab attack on Israel on Yom Kippur 1973 (failure); and the second Egyptian offensive in the war six days later (success). From these specific cases and others, they analyze the psychological mechanisms through which leaders assess their own fatal mistakes and use the intelligence available to them. Their research examines the factors that contribute to failure and success in responding to strategic surprise and identify the learning process that central decision makers use to facilitate subsequent successes. Intelligence Success and Failure presents a new theory in the study of strategic surprise that claims the key explanation for warning failure is not unintentional action, but rather, motivated biases in key intelligence and central leaders that null any sense of doubt prior to surprise attacks.

The String Quartets of Joseph Haydn - Floyd Grave - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

The String Quartets of Joseph Haydn - Floyd Grave - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

A monumental accomplishment from the age of Enlightenment, the string quartets of Joseph Haydn hold a central place not only in the composer''s oeuvre, but also in our modern conception of form, style, and expression in the instrumental music of his day. Here, renowned music historians Floyd and Margaret Grave present a fresh perspective on a comprehensive survey of the works. This thorough and unique analysis offers new insights into the creation of the quartets, the wealth of musical customs and conventions on which they draw, the scope of their innovations, and their significance as reflections of Haydn''s artistic personality. Each set of quartets is characterized in terms of its particular mix of structural conventions and novelties, stylistic allusions, and its special points of connection with other opus groups in the series. Throughout the book, the authors draw attention to the boundless supply of compositional strategies by which Haydn appears to be continually rethinking, reevaluating, and refining the quartet''s potentials. They also lucidly describe Haydn''s famous penchant for wit, humor, and compositional artifice, illuminating the unexpected connections he draws between seemingly unrelated ideas, his irony, and his lightning bolts of surprise and thwarted expectation. Approaching the quartets from a variety of vantage points, the authors correct many prevailing assumptions about convention, innovation, and developing compositional technique in the music of Haydn and his contemporaries. Going beyond traditional modes of study, The String Quartets of Joseph Haydn blends historical analysis and factual information with critical appraisal in a way that will engage all Haydn enthusiasts.

The Challenge of Joseph H. Jackson - Jared E. Alcantara - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

The Challenge of Joseph H. Jackson - Jared E. Alcantara - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

In The Challenge of Joseph H. Jackson, Jared Alcántara offers a definitive biography of one of the most controversial, complex--and, eventually, forgotten--luminaries of the twentieth century. Alcántara chronicles Jackson''s rise to power as pastor of the largest Black church in the United States, the 15,000-member Olivet Baptist in Chicago, and as the longest-tenured president of the six-million-member National Baptist Convention, at one time the nation''s largest Black organization. Sociologist E. Franklin Frazier contended that holding an office like this was akin to being the president of a "nation within a nation," the president of Black America.Nicknamed the "Negro Pope" along with "Silver Tongue," Jackson was known foremost for his oratorical talents. But his significance to twentieth-century Black Christianity and U.S. history more broadly has not yet been fully understood. Alcántara here provides a compelling examination of Jackson''s humble beginnings, rise to power, and gradual fall from grace. The Challenge of Joseph H. Jackson examines Jackson''s political alliances, describes his controversial views on race, catalogues his global ecumenical work, explains his fallout with the family of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and connects his eloquence to the maintenance of power in a tradition that prizes sacred oratory. Drawing on extensive archival material from the Chicago History Museum, Alcántara deftly chronicles the life and legacy of one of the most complex figures in African American history.

American Conspiracy Theories - Joseph M. Parent - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

American Conspiracy Theories - Joseph M. Parent - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

We are living in an age of conspiracy theories, whether it''s enduring, widely held beliefs such as government involvement in the Kennedy assassination or alien activity at Roswell, fears of a powerful infiltrating group such as the Illuminati, Jews, Catholics, or communists, or modern fringe movements of varying popularity such as birtherism and trutherism. What is it in American culture that makes conspiracy theories proliferate? Who is targeted, and why? Are we in the heyday of the conspiracy theory, or is it in decline? Though there is significant scholarly literature on the topic in psychology, sociology, philosophy, and more, American Conspiracy Theories is the first to use broad, long-term empirical data to analyze this popular American tendency. Joseph E. Uscinski and Joseph M. Parent draw on three sources of original data: 120,000 letters to the editor of the New York Times and Chicago Tribune from between 1890 and 2010; a two-wave survey from before and after the 2012 presidential election; and discussions of conspiracy theories culled from online news sources, blogs, and other Web sites, also from before and after the election. Through these sources, they are able to address crucial questions, such as similarities and differences in the nature of conspiracy theories over time, the role of the Internet and communications technologies in spreading modern conspiracy theories, and whether politics, economics, media, war, or other factors are most important in popularizing conspiratorial beliefs. Ultimately, they conclude that power asymmetries, both foreign and domestic, are the main drivers behind conspiracy theories, and that those at the bottom of power hierarchies have a strategic interest in blaming those at the top-in other words, "conspiracy theories are for losers." But these "losers" can end up having tremendous influence on the course of history, and American Conspiracy Theories is an unprecedented examination of one of the defining features of American political life.
