Book Synopsis Soldiers Scoundrels Poets and Priests by : David J. McLaughlin
Download or read book Soldiers Scoundrels Poets and Priests written by David J. McLaughlin and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The living history of California's missions is a mosaic of piety and passion, heroism and greed. This book puts flesh and blood on a profoundly important time in California's history, an extended period of evolution from wilderness to territory to state. This is not a dry recounting of facts, it is a vivid depiction, in words and images, of the people who birthed and nurtured California and the places that formed its shape and character. It is, in fact, the only book that assembles the stories of all the key players in the California mission drama into one fascinating volume. Meet familiar friends like Junipero Serra who founded the first missions and John Charles Freemont, the pathfinder who helped the territory win statehood. Discover the lesser known, but equally impor-tant characters in the play, like Pio Pico who illegally sold mission lands and buildings to enrich his friends and himself, or Francisco Hermenegildo Garces, the "Daniel Boone in Franciscan garb". In 30 biographies and nearly twice that number of photographs, historic and contemporary, the splendour that is the California mission system unfolds before your eyes. This book tells a wonderful tale and provides a unique glimpse into the heart and soul of California: its magnificent missions. Includes: Expanded California Mission Timeline 1768-1853; Updated 12-Page Glossary.

This book was released on 2018-07-24 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Methodism did not function in a void. It was carrying out its mission in an environment charged with dynamic change. To fully understand the history of Methodism in Southern California, one has to find a way to allow one’s mind to alter as far as possible into the conditions and events of the period. As we are so keenly aware today, these circumstances determine the success or failure of the church to carry out its mission. While Methodism was an early arrival in California, within fifty years, the environment was changing to one that was highly competitive. In addition, the political environment was changing to a more conservative one while Methodism’s leadership and ministerial training of its clergy were more liberal. Added to these external complexities, there were internal difficulties unique to Methodism that needed to be resolved. The task ahead is to examine the challenges and accomplishments of California-Pacific Conference from 1945 to the present.

Book Synopsis Ghosts of Passion by : Brian D. Bunk
Download or read book Ghosts of Passion written by Brian D. Bunk and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2007-03-28 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question of what caused the Spanish Civil War (1936–39) is the central focus of modern Spanish historiography. In Ghosts of Passion, Brian D. Bunk argues that propaganda related to the revolution of October 1934 triggered the broader conflict by accentuating existing social tensions surrounding religion and gender. Through careful analysis of the images produced in books, newspapers, posters, rallies, and meetings, Bunk contends that Spain’s civil war was not inevitable. Commemorative imagery produced after October 1934 bridged the gap between rhetoric and action by dehumanizing opponents and encouraging violent action against them. In commemorating the uprising, revolutionaries and conservatives used the same methods to promote radically different political agendas: they deployed religious imagery to characterize the political situation as a battle between good and evil, with the fate of the nation hanging in the balance, and exploited traditional gender stereotypes to portray themselves as the defenders of social order against chaos. The resulting atmosphere of polarization combined with increasing political violence to plunge the country into civil war.
