S. 11-16: Douglas-Home, Alec: Peaceful co-existence

Scholars concerned with the diplomatic history of the United States have largely neglected the subject of American relations with the Middle East during the four decades before World War I. With this study, Professor DeNovo fills the gap by describing and assessing the United States' cultural, economic, and diplomatic relations with Turkey, Persia, and the Arab East in that period. He traces, chronologically and topically, the activities of such American interest groups as Protestant missionaries, educators, philanthropists, archaeologists, businessmen, and technical advisers, as well as the official actions of their government. The account falls roughly into three chronological periods. The first section traces the interest groups through the pre-World War I years of political and cultural stirring in the Ottoman Empire and Persia. Special attention is given to the Chester Project for railroad development in Turkey. The second part deals with the upheavals accompanying World War I and the tasks of peacemaking from the Mudros armistice through the Lausanne settlement of 1923. The latter chapters detail the rise of the Turkish national movement, the deepening Persian and Arab nationalism, and the accommodation of American cultural and economic groups to these conditions. The author points out that before World War II began, Americans had acquired a significant interest in Middle Eastern oil and had become emotionally involved in the Arab-Zionist tension. In 1939 the United States was on the verge of a new phase in its Middle Eastern relations when that region would become more intimately linked to America's national security

"This study seeks at least partial answers to three questions: 1. How does youth in various countries view the future? An outlook on the future is admittedly a many-faceted affair, involving as it does political, economic, and social expectations as well as personal hopes and aspirations. We are interested in all these facets, but our chief interest is in the way the present dark and uncertain world situation affects youths' attitudes toward their personal lives and future careers. 2. Do young people in different countries view their futures in essentially the same way? If we find a uniformity of peaceful ideals and intentions we may have reason to hope for a better world. If, however, we find little uniformity, we must try to delineate the chief national differences. They may be so striking that we shall be forced to affirm the existence of diverse national characters and perhaps abandon the hope that advances in communication and growing similarity in educational practices are creating a single world community. 3. Is international social research at the present time practicable and beneficial? If the investigation here reported proves to be rewarding we may hope that additional problems of worldwide importance may soon receive concerted study and constructive analysis by social scientists in many lands. The movement toward international social research is, as we have said, already under way. But each new attempt has something to teach us concerning the advantages and limitations of such investigations."--Book. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved).

This is a guide-book to joy. It is for the use of the sad, the bored, the tired, anxious, disheartened and disappointed. It is for the use of all those whose cup of vitality is not brimming over. The world has not yet seen enough of joy. It bears the reputation of an elusive sprite with finger always at lip bidding farewell. In certain dark periods, especially in times of international warfare, it threatens to vanish altogether from the earth. It is then the first duty of all peaceful

The Anglican clergyman and founding member of the Society of the Holy Cross, Charles Maurice Davies (1828–1910), published Mystic London in 1875. The work is a collection of Davies' observations and researches into urban spiritualism. It includes descriptions of London mesmerists, mediums and séances, and discussions of Darwinism, secularism and the non-religious. Davies, who discovered spiritualism in Paris in the mid-1850s, and became a committed spiritualist after the death of his son in 1865, argued in this work that the principles and practices of spiritualism did not pose any threat to Christianity and that the two movements had much in common and could peacefully coexist. The work is an indispensable source on the presence of alternative religion in London and for the beliefs and practices of nineteenth-century spiritualists. It offers a fascinating insight into Victorian experiences and attitudes towards the occult and the supernatural
