Book Description
A groundbreaking study in colonial history, this book gives a remarkably detailed picture of life in an early American community. It focuses on three basic and interrelated subjects largely neglected by historians—population, land, and the family—as they affected the lives of four successive generations. Applying demographic methods to historical research, Professor Greven presents new and unexpected evidence about the most basic aspects of family life in colonial America, and shows how these characteristics changed in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
Fourth Generation Evaluation
Author: Egon G. Guba
Publisher: SAGE
ISBN: 9780803932357
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
Publisher's description: Fourth Generation Evaluation represents a monumental shift in evaluation practice. Guba and Lincoln point to the inherent problems faced by previous generations of evaluators--politics, ethical dilemmas, imperfections and gaps, inconclusive deductions--and lay the blame for failure and nonutilization at the feet of the unquestioned reliance on the scientific/positivist paradigm of research. Fourth Generation Evaluation, a more informed and sophisticated approach, moves beyond science to include the myriad human, political, social, cultural, and contextual elements that are involved. Based upon relativism, a unity between knower and known, and a subjective epistemology, the authors show how fourth generation evaluation unites the evaluator and the stakeholders in an interaction that creates the product of the evaluation. Differing from previously existing generations, this new approach moves evaluation to a new level, whose key dynamic is negotiation. The constructivist paradigm is espoused by the authors and shown to offer multiple advantages, including empowerment and enfranchisement of stakeholders, as well as an action orientation that defines a course to be followed. Not merely a treatise on evaluation theory, Guba and Lincoln also comprehensively describe the differences between the positivist and constructivist paradigms of research, and provide a practical plan of the steps and processes in conducting a fourth generation evaluation.

4th Generation Warfare Handbook
Author: William S. Lind
Publisher:
ISBN: 9789527065754
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
Written by the author of the Maneuver Warfare Handbook and an active-duty USMC officer with experience in Iraq, 4th Generation Warfare Handbook is the doctrine for a new generation of war. Over the last 40 years, the world has gradually entered into a post-Clausewitzian state where the wars are undeclared, the battlefields can be anywhere, the uniforms are optional, and the combatants as well as the targets are often "civilian." Conventional militaries have repeatedly attempted to utilize technology to meet the new challenges posed, but even the most advanced technology has provided little more than meaningless short-term victories rendered futile in months, if not weeks. This inability of Western governments and militaries to come to terms with the changing nature of modern warfare has led to failed interventions, failed occupations, and now even failed states everywhere from Eastern Europe to Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. And with the recent mass movement of peoples around the world, 4th Generation Warfare can be safely expected to appear in Western Europe and the United States before long. Drawing on their decades of experience with military history and military action, the authors have distilled 4GW theory into a short, concise, easily accessible handbook that provides the soldier, the military analyst, and the civilian observer with a guide to understanding and responding to the changing realities of this challenging new form of war.

The Order Of A Son
Author: Mark Hanby
Publisher: Destiny Image Publishers
ISBN: 0768494001
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
"Biblical sonship is a position in Christ, not a gender. Dr. Mark Hanby has understood this powerful truth and explained it better than any other man I know." --Don Nori, Publisher, Destiny Image, Inc. Every Elijah needs an Elisha. Every Paul needs a Timothy. Every father needs a son. Every Church needs a generation prepared to step into her God-intended destiny. The true hope of the Church is the preparation of the sons in the house. In The Order of a Son, Mark Hanby, author, father, mentor and apostle shows clearly, simply and powerfully how the anointing of the father is passed down to spiritual sons, helping them to become mature fathers. Without the true ministry of fathers to sons, there can never be a double-portion blessing to continue the Lord's work and the church will most certainly die in the next generations. True fathers will: Empower sons to receive their godly inheritance Teach their sons to forge lasting relationships Show the true biblical blueprint for better evangelism Help their sons to step into the call of God Teach sensitivity to the Holy Spirit The mark of a mature ministry is one that desires sons and not just followers. Dr. Mark Hanby provides a biblical base that will enable the Church to meet her future now--in her sons.
