Red Clay to Richmond is a thoroughly researched book dredged from Civil War trenches, family attics and dusty archives. John Fox has skillfully woven together the never-before-told-story of the 35th Georgia Infantry Regiment as these Southern patriots signed up for what most thought would be a short war. Using many previously unpublished primary accounts, Fox follows these men as they moved from their red clay homesteads in the Great State of Georgia to the Confederate capital at Richmond. Come ...

PREFACE. I GATHER these essays out of the anonymous and desultory writing of many past years-not because I suppose them to possess any particular literary value, but simply to show what little part I may have taken in various discussions. Written in moments snatched from the labors of an exacting profession, they are more imperfect than they would have been with a larger leisure at my command. They are reprinted, however, substantially as they were first published I have pruned away certain ... Read more
The great revolutions of our time that have taken place in the social, scientific and artistic fields of endeavour have certainly challenged and in many ways transformed the way we perceive ourselves and the world about us. Yet they have given us no real insight into the widespread material, psychological and religious fragmentation that has so far confounded the creative resources on which civilization is based. Based on a strong and pervasive belief in the primacy of the objective ... Read more

In an age of continued Middle East volatility, religious extremists, and terrorist threats, the mere mention of Islam and Muslims too often provokes misunderstanding and even rancor. Often overlooked are the important links between the Qur'an and the Bible. Also ignored are the significant historical overlap between Islamic interpretation of history with those of Christianity and Judaism, including the monotheistic belief in a single God. Islam is too often confusing and even opaque to ... Read more
The interest in bottom-of-the-pyramid (BOP) strategies to reach the world's poor is now beginning to stall. The work of C. K. Prahalad and Stuart Hart caused much controversy in academic circles, but the premise of tapping into under-served markets initially received enthusiastic backing from business. But how to proceed? What is the business case? There are many examples of BOP initiatives in the academic literature, but the lack of practical guidance on how initiatives should be ... Read more
Over the course of many generations, the concept of family has served a vital function in every community. It has always had the power to transform a household, from a mere collection of persons, into a healthy, solid base from which individuality can naturally spring forth. Family stands as a vanguard in civilized society, and in fact, it is the only place where consideration, respect, and mutual reliance can effectively interact to create a nurturing environment. The loss of support within ... Read more
The modern works on African philosophy have not been integrated and fully connected to Africa's antiquity in order to provide a foundational unity for further intellectual refinement. The philosophical dimensions of humanism, Nkrumah's concept of categorial conversion, African concepts of duality, polarity, unity, continual creation and democratic ideals must be shown their African-centered origins. In considering African philosophy, there arise conceptual and logical gaps that ... Read more
