Catholicism as Musical Discourse reveals the important role that French-language sacred songs, written primarily for women, played in the evolution of the Catholic Reform over the long seventeenth century. By singing sacred songs--called cantiques, spiritual or devotional airs--reformers believed that principles of Catholicism would be easier to learn, remember, and affect women's behavior. This book shows that various interpretations of Catholicism were not only transformed over time but also how and why. Most importantly, it demonstrates that sacred songs became a part of the Catholic Church's effort to mediate and shape the role of women in French society.

If you thought biology was the province of secular scientists, think again: The Riot and the Dance is biology like you've never seen it before. With over 130 original illustrations and several hundred figures total, this book is first and foremost an approachable and readable explanation of the basics of biology. But Dr. Wilson doesn't dumb down the concepts, either. Using analogies, anecdotes, and simple, personable language, Dr. Wilson teaches students the bottom-line themes and key details of biology. The Riot and the Dance is not a pile of disconnected facts: it is an integrated foundation for understanding biological life, and it will stir up curiosity about all life from fungus firearms to familiar vertebrates -- that, along with a greater desire to praise the Creator of it all.

One of a very few books that is specific to the Sunbeam Tiger. While the original title may have inadvertently mislead the reader into thinking that this was just another "How To Modify Your Ford 260/289 V8", this book goes way beyond the engine. It covers all possible areas of modification including the induction system, clutch, transmission, differential, suspension, wheels, tires, custom accessories, camshafts, Holley carburetors, speedometer correction, factory options, special part numbers, torque specifications, wiring diagram and a complete set of flat rate tables. It discusses SCCA, NHRA and AHRA modifications and includes a 40-page "step-by-step" photo section with 77 illustrations. The ultimate Sunbeam Tiger reference that has been out-of-print and unavailable for many years, this book is highly sought after on the secondary market. A "must-have" book for any Tiger enthusiast or owner, or anyone contemplating the purchase or restoration of a Tiger. A reproduction of the original 1967 publication.
