The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

Persuasion: Messages, Receivers, and Contexts covers key topics—such as ethics and deception, audience analysis, nonverbal communication, and culture—and shows students how to develop critical skills as senders and receivers of persuasive messages. The text presents contemporary research in an accessible and engaging format for students, while also encouraging them to apply persuasion principles and theories to real-world case studies like campaigns and news coverage. Students are also guided to develop skills in public speaking, debate, courtroom communication, interpersonal communication, and more. Persuasion features extended discussions of propaganda, political persuasion, advertising, and sender/receiver skills development. The text covers research findings on persuasive effects and theories including theories of behavior and behavioral intention, consistency, elaboration likelihood, dramatism, classical rhetoric, visual rhetoric, and mass communication. Filled with practical guidelines for creating and analyzing persuasive messages, Persuasion is an ideal primary text for courses in persuasion, persuasion and propaganda, and persuasion and rhetoric.

In the late 1870s, Jefferson County, Alabama, and the town of Elyton (near the future Birmingham) became the focus of a remarkable industrial and mining revolution. Together with the surrounding counties, the area was penetrated by railroads. Surprisingly large deposits of bituminous coal, limestone, and iron ore--the exact ingredients for the manufacture of iron and, later, steel--began to be exploited. Now, with transportation, modern extractive techniques, and capital, the region's geological riches began yielding enormous profits. A labor force was necessary to maintain and expand the Birmingham area's industrial boom. Many workers were native Alabamians. There was as well an immigrant ethnic work force, small but important. The native and immigrant laborers became problems for management when workers began affiliating with labor unions and striking for higher wages and better working conditions. In the wake of the management-labor disputes, the industrialists resorted to an artificial work force--convict labor. Alabama's state and county officials sought to avoid expense and reap profits by leasing prisoners to industry and farms for their labor. This book is about the men who worked involuntarily in the Banner Coal Mine, owned by the Pratt Consolidated Coal Company. And it is about the repercussions and consequences that followed an explosion at the mine in the spring of 1911 that killed 128 convict miners.
