Barnsley, South Yorkshire: Leo Cooper, 2000. 291 pp, large 8vo (9 7/16" H). B&w illustrations. "(E)xamines the often stormy relationships (of the generals and politicians of the Great War), portraying the decision-making process on both sides. Many of the individuals involved remain household names today over eighty years on: Douglas Haig, Ferdinand Foch, David Lloyd George, Woodrow Wilson and the German Kaiser, Wilhelm II. The results of their endeavours led to the now legendary carnage in Gallipoli, on the Somme, in the mud of Flanders and the frozen heights of the Alps. How did these great men conduct their relationships and decision-making? To answer this, the chapters range widely to look at the Home Front, the Western Front and America at war. They also deal with the role of royalty and sideshows such as Italy, where Britian and France came to the aid of faltering allies. In all of this, defeat or victory would be decided by the most forceful and dynamic leaders willing to listen to and accept the wisest counsel. (This book) brings together the works of distinguished authorities on this ever-fascinating period and adds significantly to our understanding of the often complex relationships at play."

Oxford University Press, USA, October 2005. Hardcover. Very Good. Enhancing the already-venerable series of three dozen or so Oxford Histories, this new addition typically exceeds expectations. The lead general editor, Geoffrey Wainwright, is one of the luminaries of the study of Christian worship; his <i>Doxology: The Praise of God in Worship, Doctrine, and Life</i> has for three decades reminded the world of academic theology that worship is the primary source of our knowledge of God, and the proper end of all theological exposition. Wainwright is appropriately the author of the first chapter of this volume, 'Christian Worship: Scriptural Basis and Theological Frame,' as well as a later chapter, 'Ecumenical Convergences,' and the conclusion. He is joined in the succeeding thirty-three very substantive chapters (as broad as 'Western Christendom' and as specific as 'The Liturgical Movement and Catholic Ritual Revision') by such as Maxwell Johnson, John Baldovin, Christine Chaillot, Alexander Rentel, Nathan Mitchell, Bryan Spinks, John Rempel, the co-editor Karen Westerfield-Tucker, Ancscar Chupungco, James White, and many others. All the major confessions of Christian faith, Eastern and Western, early and contemporary and throughout the world, are given due attention; all aspects of worship -history, order, spatial and artistic setting -are examined; each chapter includes end-notes and bibliography, while the volume as a whole contains a biblical and general index, and is adorned with 240 illustrations and highlighted excerpts from original sources. You can consult this tome -- for a few minutes, or for a good portion of the rest of your life -- with profit. 916 pp. Book is Like New, jacket shows rubbing and a tear at top jacket edge.
