One of the Boys?
Author: Michael King
language: en
Publisher: Heinemann Educational Books
Release Date: 1988
""One of the boys?" is about being male in New Zealand. In it a range of men -- Maori and Pakeha, Catholic and Protestant, liberal and conservative, heterosexual and gay -- write about the initiations and rituals of male culture, of how views of masculinity have changed over the past 70 years, and of how they have coped, or not coped, with these changes. This is a first attempt by New Zealand men to understand themselves and the influences that conditioned them. It is not simply a book about male problems, however. As the editor notes, it is concerned equally with what makes men good responsible and integrated human beings. All New Zealand men will recognise aspects of their lives in this book: relations with fathers and "mates", with girl-friends and wives; the pervasive effects of Scouts, the Army, combat, rugby and alcohol. "One of the boys?" mirrors the lives of most males born between the First World War and the 1950s; and reading it will affect the manner in which New Zealand men and women view their lives in the future."--Back cover.
Waiting for World's End
Woodruff became president of the LDS church while hiding from federal marshal's. Convinced that non-Mormons, "gentiles, " would soon be smitten by the calamities promised in the Bible, he bided his time. However, as the parousia was delayed, he eventually negotiated with the United States.
Wilford Woodruff's Journal, 1833-1898: 1 January 1871 to 31 December 1880
Wilford Woodruff (1807-1898) was born in Connecticut and joined the LDS Church as a young man. He went through the trials of the early members of the LDS Church and came to Utah with the body of the Saints. In 1887 he became the fourth president of the LDS Church. His administration is best remembered for publishing the Manifesto which announced the ending of plural marriage which had previously been openly practiced by members of the Church.
