An Exposition of the Epistle to the Hebrews

The Holiest of All

"An important, unique, and detailed look at China's profound transformation through collaborative governance, a policy that might have been called 'public-private partnerships' or even 'privatization' in other settings. Professor Yijia Jing, a rising star in China's famed Fudan University, brings together Chinese scholars (plus two Westerners in China) to present an impressively wide array of examples of collaborative governance including e-government, construction of national highways, local government services, and care of the elderly. Jing's powerful introduction is an insightful analysis of the State's deepening engagement with the private and nonprofit sectors of society." - E. S. Savas, Presidential Professor, Baruch College, City University of New York, USA

"Yijia Jing is to be congratulated for bringing together an excellent collection that provides new and valuable insights on public policy creation and implementation in China, using the theoretical framework of collaborative governance. Combining novel empirical case studies with an integrative theoretical framework, this work sheds important light on key areas of public policy in China. A 'must read' for any student of either China or the collaborative governance paradigm." - Stephen P. Osborne, University of Edinburgh, UK; founder and editor of Public Management Review; and founder of the International Research Society for Public Management

"Many know of China's strong state, its entrepreneurs, and rapidly developing economy. Few, however, know that China's local governments are actively embracing collaboration with the private and nonprofit sectors to create public value. This intriguing volume, assembled by Professor Yijia Jing, analyzes initiatives in collaborative governance from Taiwan and Hong Kong to the grasslands of Inner Mongolia; from infrastructure and elderly care services to disaster management and e-government. This book is vital reading for anyone seeking to understand China's distinctive approach to collaborative governance." - Richard Zeckhauser, Frank P. Ramsey Professor of Political Economy, Harvard University, USA

"Comprehensive and widely accessible. . . . McNally successfully exposes the real breadth of Native American religious freedom discourse, making this text an important read for those working in law and policy on the ground as much as those students and scholars working at the intersections of law, religion, and Indigenous studies."---Nicholas Shrubsole, Religious Studies Review

“This book clarifies the differences between these terms and their underlying concepts, and focuses in particular on ‘macro-regionalisation’, its empirical reality as well as its theoretical understanding. … The book makes an empirically important as well as theoretically insightful contribution to the (cross-disciplinary) study of regional dynamics in Europe.” (Gabriele Abels, Europe-Asia Studies, Vol. 69 (3), May, 2017)

“In Joan de Valence, Linda Mitchell takes up a number of challenges that face any scholar attempting to write the life history of a medieval woman. The result is a book making the case not just for this one powerful noblewoman, but for a return to the archives to reassess the underappreciated but important roles that women played in medieval society.” (Kathleen Ashley, Journal of British Studies, Vol. 55 (4), October, 2016)

The Life and Influence of a Thirteenth-Century Noblewoman

Joan de Valence

"The question of how various forms of art, discourse, and structure manage to negotiate the distance between various non-contiguous periods of history is at the heart of all medievalism studies. The contributors to The Medieval Motion Picture confront the issue of temporality by claiming, and demonstrating, for cinematic representations of medieval culture a joyous multimodality of temporal and aesthetic layers apt to adapt medieval artifacts, concepts, and practices to the diverse horizons of expectation postmedieval viewers bring to medievalist movies. From Kurosawa's Ran to HBO's Game of Thrones, the essays in this theoretically sophisticated volume reveal the complex dialogic interplay of pre-modern and (post)modern temporalities." - Richard Utz, Chair and Professor in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA

"This ambitious collection explores the ideas and practices that link medievalism studies, adaptation theory and cinema studies. The 'politics' of adaptation here are institutional and disciplinary: these original and inventive essays show how far medievalism has developed from earlier preoccupations with fidelity to sources or to the historical past. Using the temporal uncertainties of medieval film as a starting-point, many of these essays offer brilliant insights into the nature of cinematic representation." - Stephanie Trigg, Professor of English, University of Melbourne, Australia.

"With an eye to film's global purview, including Hollywood films set in various geographies and 'medieval' pasts, as well as to international cinema, the editors cast a wide theoretical net and reel in numerous illuminating insights into the nature and aesthetics of cinema that turns to the misty pasts of medievalism. Johnston, Rouse, and Hinz's The Medieval Motion Picture lays out exemplary readings that will enhance theoretical discussions of the cinematic Middle Ages, particularly in its focus on the temporal nature of adaptations, while also putting forth intriguing interpretations of a range of films, from masterpieces (Ran) to blockbuster successes (The Sixth Sense) to schlock (Timeline). Scholars of these films will benefit from the volume's detailed readings of them." - The Medieval Review

A WASHINGTON POST BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR&ldquo;This gem of a story brilliantly recreates one of the greatest moments in baseball history by interweaving the intense drama of the game with superb portraits of the key players who shared in the historic moment.&#160;Perfect&#160;captures our hearts as it carries us back to the golden age of baseball and the more innocent world of the 1950s. Though it was a sad day for me as a Dodger fan, I am now mature enough to read and savor this wonderful account.&rdquo;&mdash;Doris Kearns Goodwin, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of&#160;Team of Rivals&#160;and&#160;Wait Till Next Year&ldquo;The story of Larsen and his legendary afternoon was hanging out there, like a juicy curve ball, for somebody to smash it out of the park, and Lew Paper, a Washington lawyer and author, has done exactly that with Perfect.&rdquo;&mdash;The Washington Post&#160;&ldquo;What Paper loves is the game itself; if you want a salacious, gossipy examination of baseball's Golden Era, this is not the book to buy. But if you want to live inside the most famous statistical afternoon in baseball history,&#160;Perfect&#160;is...well, let's just say &lsquo;ideal&rsquo;.&rdquo;&mdash;Chuck Klosterman,&#160;Esquire&#160; &ldquo;If you think you know all there is to know about Don Larsen's perfect game, think again. In Perfect, the true story of that historic game and the men who played it is revealed in all its imperfect glory. The Dodgers couldn't come through against Larsen, but with this charming, meticulously researched book, Lew Paper has connected for a resounding hit.&rdquo;&mdash;Jonathan Eig, author of The Luckiest Man: The Life and Times of Lou Gehrig, and Opening Day: The Story of Jackie Robinson's First Season &#160; &ldquo;Lew Paper does something more than give you fresh details about Don Larsen's perfect game.

Creamer, author of&#160;Babe: The Legend Comes to Life and Stengel: His Life and Times &#160; &ldquo;So you think you know everything about Don Larsen's perfect game in the 1956 World Series . . . . not until you have read Lew Paper's classic.&rdquo;&mdash;Tim McCarver, Former Major League Catcher and Fox Sports Broadcaster &#160; &ldquo;Lew Paper masterfully captures the thoughts of 'Gooney Bird,' the supporting cast of players, and Don Larsen 's World Series masterpiece.&#160;Perfect&#160;jumps out from that Fall afternoon in Yankee Stadium to you in your comfy old rocking chair.
