Summary

"Naval Submarines" explores the captivating history of underwater warfare, from rudimentary submersibles to today's advanced nuclear submarines. The book highlights how the submarine evolved from a marginal weapon into a critical element of naval power projection, significantly impacting naval strategy and international relations. Early submarines, for example, were initially viewed with skepticism, but their potential for stealth attacks and intelligence gathering gradually reshaped naval doctrine.

 
Another key aspect explored is the technological race, with advancements like diesel-electric propulsion and nuclear power revolutionizing submarine capabilities. The book traces the evolution of submarines through key historical periods, including their roles in both World Wars and the Cold War's nuclear standoff. It examines how submarines have been used in anti-surface warfare, anti-submarine warfare, and nuclear deterrence.

 
The narrative unfolds systematically, starting with early submarine designs and progressing through technological breakthroughs and strategic shifts. It emphasizes the interplay between technological innovation and evolving military strategies, offering a comprehensive understanding of the submarine's impact on naval history and modern naval operations.

    The Social Contract outlines Rousseau's views on political justice, explaining how a just and legitimate state is to be founded, organized and administered. Rousseau sets forth, in his characteristically brazen and iconoclastic manner, the case for direct democracy, while simultaneously casting every other form of government as illegitimate and tantamount to slavery. Often hailed as a revolutionary document which sparked the French Revolution, The Social Contract serves both to inculcate dissatisfaction with actually-existing governments and to allow its readers to envision and desire a radically different form of political and social organization.

    An entertaining and insightful exploration of the American ex-religious 
 
 
 
The United States is in the midst of a religious revolution. Or, perhaps it is better to say a non-religious revolution. Around a quarter of US adults now say they have no religion. The great majority of these religious "nones" also say that they used to belong to a religion but no longer do. These are the nonverts: think "converts," but from having religion to having none. There are currently about fifty-nine million of them in the United States. 
 
 
 
Nonverts explores who they are, and why they joined the rising tide of the ex-religious. One of world's leading experts on contemporary atheism and nonreligiosity, sociologist and theologian Stephen Bullivant draws on dozens of interviews, original analysis of high-quality survey data, and a wealth of cutting-edge studies, to present an entertaining and insightful exploration of America's ex-religious landscape. Bullivant crisscrosses the country, talking to everyone from ex-Mormons in Utah to ex-Catholics in Pennsylvania, from ex-Evangelicals in Georgia to ex-Muslims in California, showing not only what they have in common but also how the traditions they left behind continue to shape them.

    This textbook updates the conversation about models of psychology and faith integration, helping students understand the range of options for Christian engagement. Drawing from themes developed in Paul Moes's well-received Exploring Psychology and Christian Faith (coauthored with Donald J. Tellinghuisen), Integrating Psychology and Faith develops a set of worldview dimensions that serve to organize a variety of psychology-faith integration models. 
 
Paul Moes and Blake Riek set forth principles and themes and establish historical context to help students explore where different views fit on a continuum of approaches to integration and understand the perspectives of other Christians in the field of psychology. In this way, students come to better understand the organizing principles for various views about psychology that they encounter. The book also shows how theological traditions and positions shape views on natural science, social science, and psychology.
