American Fanatics
Shows how religious fanaticism became a tool used to police subversive and targeted religions at home and abroadIn 1822, Thomas Jefferson wrote that the "atmosphere of our country is unquestionably charged with a threatening cloud of fanaticism." Indeed, during the nineteenth century the United States was full of radical theologies, messiahs, utopian dreams, passionate exhortations, and sacred violence. This book seeks to uncover the history, rationales, and effects of understandings of religious fanaticism, and how the term was wielded to describe and denigrate a diverse array of religious groups in the United States. American Fanatics traces the development and popularization of religious fanaticism – a precursor to today's categories of religious terrorism, radicalism, and extremism – and explores the violence hidden in its usage. From the Second Great Awakening in the early 1800s to the US occupation of the Philippines in the early 1900s, the book follows the rise of the concept through distinct conflicts over evangelical revivals, abolition, literature, psychiatry, and colonial anthropology. It charts how the term "fanatic" started out as a marker for excessive religious practices, but evolved into a religio-racial category that framed resistance to power as overly emotional, delusional, and inherently violent.American Fanatics illuminates how from the colonial period to the nineteenth century, Americans transformed "fanaticism" from a term of Christian theology into one of religio-racial security, wielding it as a tool of domestic and imperial governance.

Agricultural Irrigation and Drainage Systems
Agricultural irrigation and drainage systems play a pivotal role in ensuring optimal crop growth and land management. Irrigation involves the controlled application of water to agricultural fields to supplement rainfall and meet the water requirements of crops. It helps in improving crop yield, enhancing soil structure, and mitigating the effects of drought. Various irrigation methods such as surface irrigation, sprinkler irrigation, and drip irrigation are used based on factors like soil type, crop type, and water availability. On the other hand, drainage systems are crucial for removing excess water from fields to prevent waterlogging and soil salinization, which can adversely affect plant growth. Proper drainage facilitates root development, nutrient uptake, and aeration of the soil, thereby promoting healthy crop growth. Drainage systems can be surface such as open ditches, sub-surface such as tiled drains, or a combination of both, depending on the terrain and soil characteristics. Efficient management of agricultural irrigation and drainage systems is essential for sustainable farming practices. This book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of agricultural irrigation and drainage systems and the recent researches in this field. The objective of this book is to give a general view of the different areas of agricultural irrigation and drainage systems. This book is a vital tool for all researching or studying this subject as it gives incredible insights into emerging trends and concepts of this field.

Romantic Periodicals and Print Culture
Building on a revival of scholarly interest in the cultural effects of early 19th-century periodicals, the essays in this collection treat periodical writing as intrinsically worthy of attention not a mere backdrop to the emergence of British Romanticism but a site in which Romantic ideals were challenged, modified, and developed.Contributors to the volume discuss a range of different periodicals, from the elite Quarterly and Edinburgh Reviews, through William Cobbett's populist weekly newspaper Two-Penny Trash, to the miscellaneous monthly magazines typified by Blackwood's. While some contributors to the volume approach the phenomenon of Romanticism within periodical culture from a more materialist standpoint than others, several elaborate upon recent intersections between Romantic studies and gender studies.

Agricultural Water Management: Theories and Practices
Water is an important input in agricultural production and contributes towards food security. Agricultural water management (AWM) aims to utilize water in such a way that the water requirement of crops and animals are met, while enhancing productivity and conserving natural resources. In addition to irrigation, AWM also involves soil, land and ecosystem conservation strategies, including fisheries management, drainage and watershed management along with technologies for lifting, storing and transferring water. Improvements in the management of water resources are based on the integrated management of nutrients, plants, water and soil. This can be achieved by optimization of irrigation scheduling and utilizing irrigation systems such as drip irrigation. This book contains some path-breaking studies on agricultural water management. It includes contributions of experts and scientists, which will provide innovative insights into this area of study.

One Principal Good One
This book speaks to the majesty of the King James Bible, in both its literary contribution to the English language and how it distinguishes itself from the previous English translations and those that have been attempted since. The authors address the doctrines of Inspiration and Preservation; and that by faith, believe that only the King James Bible is worthy of being called the inspired/preserved word of God in the English language. The authors cover the Process of Bible translation by committee and the rules by which they were provided as guidance by the king at the Hampton Court conference. Specifically, the doctrinal impact of the Third Rule whereby the translators were to keep the old Ecclesiastical words such as "Church" not to be translated as "Congregation." Other words to be used were "Charity" in addition to "Love"; "Baptisms," as well as "Washings"; and the distinction between "Covenant" and "Testament" is clearly seen in the context where the words are used.In addition to the doctrinal import, there is considerable attention given to the printing technology of the fourteenth to sixteenth centuries and a dissertation on the artwork of the first edition, printed in 1611. The practical results of preaching the King James Bible in places like the Philippines and other foreign lands are presented with plentiful illustrations and examples. Lastly, the authors have included the Epistle Dedicatory and Translators to the Reader that were provided in earlier editions of the King James Bible, but sadly, seldom printed in the newer editions.2
