Beschreibung

The Book of Were-WolvesBeing an Account of a Terrible SuperstitionFirst published in 1865, this fascinating classic by Reverend Sabine Baring-Gould remains one of the most influential studies of lycanthropy ever written. Blending folklore, history, anthropology, and true crime, Baring-Gould investigates the werewolf myth from its earliest appearances in ancient legend to chilling cases documented in medieval and modern Europe.With a scholar’s rigor and a storyteller’s flair, he explores:Ancient myths and Norse sagas of shape-shiftersWitch trials and confessions of “wolf-men”Superstitions surrounding animal transformationGrisly historical accounts of murderers believed to be werewolvesPart gothic horror, part anthropological study, The Book of Were-Wolves is not merely about monsters of the imagination—it is also a disturbing examination of the darker corners of human nature. A must-read for lovers of folklore, occult history, and the macabre, this timeless work still casts its eerie shadow more than 150 years after its first publication.Sabine Baring-Gould (1834–1924) was an English Anglican priest, prolific author, folklorist, antiquarian, and hymn writer best known for penning Onward, Christian Soldiers. A man of boundless curiosity, he published over 1,200 works ranging from novels and theology to historical studies and collections of ghost stories. Deeply interested in the legends and traditions of Britain and Europe, Baring-Gould became one of the Victorian era’s foremost collectors of folklore, preserving tales of saints, supernatural beings, and rural customs. The Book of Were-Wolves remains his most famous exploration of the darker side of human belief and imagination.

    From their founding, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) educated as many as 90 percent of Black college students in the United States. Although many are aware of the significance of HBCUs in expanding Black Americans' educational opportunities, much less attention has been paid to the vital role that they have played in expanding American democracy. 
     
     
     
    In The Power of Black Excellence, Deondra Rose provides an authoritative history of HBCUs and the unique role they have played in shaping American democracy since 1865. Drawing on over six years of deep research, Rose brings into view the historic impact that government support for HBCUs has had on the American political landscape, arguing that they have been essential for not only empowering Black citizens but also reshaping the distribution of political power in the United States. Today, HBCUs remain extremely important, as evidenced by the outsized number of black political leaders—including Kamala Harris—who attended them. Rose stresses that policymakers promote democracy itself when they support HBCUs and their unique approach to postsecondary education, which includes a commitment to helping students develop politically empowering skills, promoting political leadership, and fostering a commitment to service.

    ". Direct perception is freedom - 10 February 1971 
    • Can the mind living in this world ever be free, not only superficially but 
    profoundly, at the very root of its existence? 
    • ‘Freedom from’ is an abstraction, but freedom in observing ‘what is’ and going 
    beyond it is actual freedom. 
    How do I observe greed? Do I observe it as an outsider looking in or do I observe it without the observer? 
    Without the mind being free you cannot live in order. 
    Q: Three years have passed; I have no energy to be aware of my reactions. Q: Can we seek God through observation?"

    Recent years have seen a growing recognition of the role that White Christian Nationalism plays in American society. As White Christian Nationalism has become a major force, and as racial and religious attitudes become increasingly aligned among whites—for example, the more likely you are to say that the decline of white people as a share of the population is "bad for society," the more likely you are to believe the government should support religious values—it has become reasonable to wonder which of the adjectives in the phrase "White Christian Nationalism" takes precedence. 
     
     
     
    In this book, Michael O. Emerson and Glenn E. Bracey II respond definitively: the answer is "white." The majority of white Christians in America, they argue, are believers in a "Religion of Whiteness" that shapes their faith, their politics, and more. The Religion of Whiteness, they argue, raises the perpetuation of racial inequality to a level of spiritual commitment that rivals followers' commitment to Christianity itself. 
     
     
     
    Using national survey data, in-depth interviews, and focus group results gathered over several years, Emerson and Bracey show how the Religion of Whiteness shapes the practice of Christianity for millions of Americans—and what can be done to confront it.
