"The issue of the Protestant ethic and the spirit of capitalism has been debated endlessly, but few scholars have seriously continued Weber's own research into the Reformation sources of seventeenth-century England. David Little's study was one of the first to do so, and remains an important contribution."—Guenther Roth, University of Washington

In a country that has always prided itself on its toughness, individuality, and youthful spirit, we share one common thread, woven through time and unchanged in popularity -- durable cotton denim jeans. Journey through the history of jeans, from their invention during the Gold Rush through the turbulent eras that preceded the 21st Century. Watch as denim slacks help Americans define themselves, whether that definition is strong, unpretentious, pretentious, informal, comfortable, classless, haute couture, hard-working, or reliable. Also, revisit the craze for vintage blue jeans, when faded and worn fueled a frenzy of global buying. Artful photography of denim as seen on bodies, in retail stores, and in the flea markets of America, add to the thoughtful essays, making this a iconic book certain to be treasured in fashion circles for decades.

Co-published with the Center for Advanced Studies at the University of Virginia, this volume is a study of leaders and leadership drawn from a broad spectrum of scholarship. Nineteen participants convened at the Birdwood Conference on Leadership in 1982, held by the Committee on the Comparative Study of Individual and Society. The presentations and discussions fell into three interrelated conceptual themes: leaders, heroes, and leadership.

[Author’s Preface] Feeling very deeply my inability to undertake such an important work as setting forth a correct picture of the Tabernacle as it was set up in the wilderness, so as to bring out the true spiritual meaning of all these things, which were figures, patterns, and shadows of heavenly things, it is with much reluctance, but in simple dependence upon the blessed Lord, that I do so; knowing, also, the evil of the day we are living in, how that many are now denying the inspiration of the Old Testament Scriptures, and especially the five books of Moses; - malicious men, "having not the spirit," hence who cannot discern spiritually, nor see anything beyond the reasoning of their own carnal, depraved minds, this key and accompanying chart are sent forth to help any of God’s children who desire to look beneath the surface, and get not only the historical but the moral and redemptive lines of truth. Having received much blessing to my own soul in the study of these beautiful object-lessons and in giving them out to others, (the Lord having been pleased in His grace to bless them both to saved and unsaved,) I send them forth seeking His blessing upon them; and in doing so I do not wish to leave the impression that I have not received help from the writings and fellowship of others; for I surely have, both in getting up the chart and in writing the key. [This book was formerly issued as a key to a Chart of The Tabernacle in the Wilderness, in 10 colors, which is now out of print, but a miniature of which will be found between pages 33 & 34.]

This collection of seminal essays by David Little addresses the subject of human rights in relation to the historical settings in which its language was drafted and adopted. Featuring five original essays, Little articulates his long-standing view that fascist practices before and during World War II vivified the wrongfulness of deliberately inflicting severe pain, injury, and destruction for self-serving purposes and that the human rights corpus, developed in response, was designed to outlaw all practices of arbitrary force. Drawing on the natural rights tradition, the book contends that while there must be an accountable human rights standard, it should nevertheless guarantee wide latitude for the expression and practice of religious and other conscientious beliefs, consistent with outlawing arbitrary force. This book further details the theoretical grounds of the relationship between religion and human rights, and concludes with essays on U.S. policy and the restraint of force in regard to terrorism and to cases like Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. With a foreword by John Kelsey, this book stands as a capstone of the work of this influential writer on religion, philosophy, and law.
