This is the first study to present the history of the Muspratts as a family group an...

A good death was as central to Methodism as conversion and holiness. Based on an analysis of 1, 200 obituaries, this book contributes to an understanding not only of death but of the history of Methodist and evangelical Nonconformist piety, theology, social background and literary expression in mid-nineteenth-century England, and focuses on the tension in Nonconformist allegiance to both worldly and spiritual matters.

Through interviews with players, num...

Each home is identified in terms of eight design considerations, including challenging lots, homes in the country, houses with a view, small spaces, unusual shapes, additions and remodels, zoning restrictions, and adding in-law or guest suites and of...

Rhetorically charged debates over theory have divided humanities scholars for decades. Rodowick steps back from arguments pro and con to assess why theory has become such a deeply contested concept. Far from lobbying for a return to the "high theory" of the 1980s, he calls for dialogue on an ethically inflected philosophy of the humanities.

Their days ar...

Known as a "bedroom community" because of its location halfway between Detroit and Mount Clemens, the city reached its max...
