Alfred Hope Patten and the Shrine of our Lady of Walsingham

Michael Yelton

Synopsis

Walsingham, “England’s Nazareth”, is England’s premier place of pilgrimage for Anglicans and Roman Catholics alike, and its appeal continues to expand. The refounding of the eleventh-century Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham in 1922 looked at the time like an inconsequential piece of neo-medievalism, but the intervening years have vindicated the determination of its founder Alfred Hope Patten to bring his unique vision to reality.

 
Some eighty years after his death, Hope Patten is now viewed in a way that he never experienced in his lifetime. Not only was he an archetypal Anglo-Catholic priest, but history has judged him to be one of the most significant figures in the Church of England in the twentieth century.

 
Based on unrestricted access to the archives of the Shrine and now fully revised and updated, this full biography of Hope Patten is once again available. This definitive work on the history of the Shrine and its founder explores Hope Patten’s background and ministry as well as many of the myths which he created about himself. It records the struggles he had – personal and financial – to establish his dream in the Norfolk countryside, the failure of his vision in other areas and assesses his lasting legacy to the Church of England.

Algeria of the Generals

Lyes Laribi

Since independence, Algeria has been ruled by Generals who have kept the country in a state of civil war and misery. But how does this power function and endure? Arrested and tortured in Algeria for setting up a free student union in the 1980s, accused of Islamism and frequently harassed ever since, Lyes Laribi has come into close contact with Military Security, Algeria’s political police force.
The author traces the history of the internal quarrels between General Zeroual's clan and General Nezzar's—coups d'état, economic schemes, political crimes spanning from 1962 to 1999. Now, Lyes Laribi reveals that behind the government of the current president, Abdelaziz Bouteflika, lies a third clan of Generals, an extension of these corrupt cliques.
This courageous investigation by the author of Dans les geôles de Nezzar is an original and passionate critique of Algeria's recent history. An invitation to give back to the Algerian people the trust and voice confiscated from them.

Admiral Alfred Thayer Mahan: The...

Editors Charles River

Alfred Thayer Mahan is arguably the most influential military strategist in American history, and one of the world’s most important naval theorists. His work has been nearly as influential as the famous German military theorist Carl von Clausewitz (1780-1831), and the lesser-known but nearly as influential Swiss military writer Antoine-Henri Jomini (1779-1869).
Alfred decided to go to the Naval Academy in Annapolis, which he was admitted to via the influence of Secretary of War Jefferson Davis. He graduated in 1859 and started a career lasting almost 40 years. He served aboard a wide variety of ships, from a powerful frigate under sail to a variety of steam sloops, corvettes, and gunboats, many of which were side wheelers and all of which had auxiliary sails.
He started as a Midshipman and worked his way up the naval ranks to Captain and Commander. He also had several independent commands. He was stationed off the Atlantic Coast and in the Gulf of Mexico during the Union blockade of the Confederacy. He was on a sidewheeler tasked with keeping an eye on the French in Mexico, where Napoleon II had installed a Hapsburg archduke as emperor. He spent more than two years on station in the Far East, spent a couple of years with the South Atlantic Squadron based in Montevideo in Uruguay, and then a year off the west coast of South America, in a ship observing events during the War of the Pacific.
After a lengthy naval career, Mahan had assignments at the Naval Academy and the Brooklyn Naval Yard. He was invited to lecture at the Naval War College, and it was there that he collected together his notes and wrote a book, The Influence of Naval Power upon History, which somehow became an international bestseller in 1890. His book resulted in an invitation to dine with the Queen in Britain. It was translated into German and the Kaiser ordered a copy be placed on every German warship and in every school.

Maude Barlow

“Canada’s best-known voice of dissent.” — CBC
		 
“It’s time we listened to the Maude Barlows of the world.” — CNN
		 
In this timely book, Barlow counters the prevailing atmosphere of pessimism that surrounds us and offers lessons of hope that she has learned from a lifetime of activism. She has been a linchpin in three major movements in her life: second-wave feminism, the battle against free trade and globalization, and the global fight for water justice. From each of these she draws her lessons of hope, emphasizing that effective activism is not really about the goal, rather it is about building a movement and finding like-minded people to carry the load with you. Barlow knows firsthand how hard fighting for change can be. But she also knows that change does happen and that hope is the essential ingredient.
