Sinopse

Samoan Independence explores Samoa's journey from colonial rule to becoming the first independent Pacific nation in 1962. This pivotal period is examined through the lens of political maneuvering, cultural resilience, and the people's unwavering pursuit of self-governance. The book highlights how Samoa strategically navigated international politics and overcame challenges posed by German colonization and New Zealand administration.

 
 One intriguing fact is the role of the Mau movement, a non-violent resistance, which significantly impacted New Zealand's policies. The book uniquely emphasizes the agency of the Samoan people in shaping their destiny, moving beyond traditional top-down analyses of colonial policies. It highlights the bottom-up forces driving the independence movement.

 
Structured in three main sections, the book progresses from pre-colonial Samoan society through German rule, New Zealand administration, and finally, to the post-World War II era, detailing the UN's role and the transfer of power to Samoan leaders. The narrative draws from diverse sources, including colonial archives and oral histories, offering a comprehensive view of Samoa's nation-building process.

    Both Grant and Sherman shared the same theory of war: anything that might help the enemy's war effort should be considered a military target. After the Atlanta campaign, Grant explained to Sherman that the Confederates must be “demoralized and left without hope,” and he instructed Sherman, “Take all provisions, forage and stock wanted for the use of your command. Such as cannot be consumed, destroy. Leave the valley so barren that crows flying over it...will have to carry their provender with them.” This strategy sought the total economic collapse of the South, as well as completely disabling the South’s capability of fielding armies. In addition to the wholesale plundering of Southern resources, including taking them from civilians, the Union reversed its policy of swapping prisoners, realizing it had a far bigger reserve of manpower than the South. The Atlanta Campaign was a perfect example of this, as both sides lost about the same number of casualties. By September 1864, however, Sherman still had about 80,000 men, while Hood’s army was reduced to about 30,000. 
    Following the design of Grant's innovative and successful Vicksburg Campaign, Sherman's armies eliminated their need for traditional supply lines by living off the land. 	Ultimately, Sherman’s armies cut a path of abject destruction 60 miles wide and 300 hundred miles long from Atlanta to Savannah, which some likened to a Biblical blight. And as Sherman had intended, he did indeed made Georgia “howl.”  
    Due in large part to the March to the Sea, Sherman remains controversial across much of the United States today. The South considered him akin to a terrorist and adamantly insisted that he was violating the norms of warfare by targeting civilians. In many ways, Sherman is still the scourge of the South nearly 160 years after he vowed to make Georgia howl.

    Corpse Care relates the history of death care in the US to craft robust, constructive, practical ethics for tending the dead. It specifically relates corpse care to economic, environmental, and pastoral concerns. 
     
     
     
    Death and the treatment of the dead body loom large in our collective, cultural consciousness. The authors explore the materiality and meaning of the dead body and the living's relationship to it. All the biggest questions facing the planetary human community relate in one way or another to the corpse. Surprisingly, Christian communities are largely missing in the discussion of the dead, having abdicated the historic role in care for the dead to the funeral industry. Christianity has stopped its reflection about the body once that body no longer bears life. Corpse Care stakes a claim that the fact of embodiment, this incarnational truth, this process of our bodily becoming, is a practical, ethical, and theological necessity.
