Masterpieces of the English short novel : nine complete short novels
\"These nine novels are the best of the best--great writing by some of the most brilliant literary minds of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Samuel Johnson's biography of Richard Savage raises the life of a scoundrel to the level of great art; George Eliot profoundly influenced Henry James with her horror story The Lifted Veil; Le Fanu writes a \"sinister but gracious\" supernatural gothic; Joseph Conrad draws from his life as a sea captain in The Secret Sharer; Nightmare Abbey is Thomas Love Peacock's satire on his friends, the romantic poets Shelley, Coleridge, and Byron\"-- Provided by publisher.

The Bible in Early Transatlantic Pietism and Evangelicalism
This collection of essays showcases the variety and complexity
of early awakened Protestant biblical interpretation and practice
while highlighting the many parallels, networks, and exchanges that
connected the Pietist and evangelical traditions on both sides of
the Atlantic.
A yearning to obtain from the Word spiritual knowledge of God
that was at once experiential and practical lay at the heart of the
Pietist and evangelical quest for true religion, and it
significantly shaped the courses and legacies of these movements.
The myriad ways in which Pietists and evangelicals read, preached,
translated, and practiced the Bible were inextricable from how they
fashioned new forms of devotion, founded institutions, engaged the
early Enlightenment, and made sense of their world. This volume
provides breadth and texture to the role of Scripture in these
related religious traditions. The contributors probe an assortment
of primary source material from various confessional, linguistic,
national, and regional traditions and feature well-known
figures-including August Hermann Francke, Cotton Mather, and
Jonathan Edwards-alongside lesser-known lay believers, women,
people of color, and so-called radicals and separatists.
Pioneering and collaborative, this volume contributes fresh
insight into the history of the Bible and the entangled religious
cultures of the eighteenth-century Atlantic world.
Along with the editors, the contributors to this volume include
Ruth Albrecht, Robert E. Brown, Crawford Gribben, Bruce Hindmarsh,
Kenneth P. Minkema, Adriaan C. Neele, Benjamin M. Pietrenka, Isabel
Rivers, Douglas H. Shantz, Peter Vogt, and Marilyn J.
Westerkamp.

Women and addiction : a comprehensive handbook
For many years, addiction research focused almost exclusively on men. Yet scientific awareness of sex and gender differences in substance use disorders has grown tremendously in recent decades. This volume brings together leading authorities to review the state of the science and identify key directions for research and clinical practice. Concise, focused chapters illuminate how biological and psychosocial factors influence the etiology and epidemiology of substance use disorders in women; their clinical presentation, course, and psychiatric comorbidities; treatment access; and treatment effectiveness. Prevalent substances of abuse are examined, as are issues facing special populations.
