Stephen Clark - Böcker

The cyclecar arrived in response to growing demand for ultra-cheap motoring in the early 1900s. The three-wheeled Morgan spearheaded this ‘New Motoring’ fashion in 1910 and went on to distinguish itself by out-performing and out-living all its rivals; no other dedicated cyclecar manufacturer managed to survive the onslaught of the Austin Seven and mass-production in the early 1920s by more than a year or two. Interrupted only by the world wars, Morgan three-wheelers were built from 1910 to 1952 and continue in production today after a renaissance in 2012.This book explores the origins of these charismatic motoring oddities, explains their workings and reflects on the family that created them. All models, ancient and modern, are described and Morgan’s noble three-wheeler sporting history is examined. The book also features many previously unpublished facts, figures and photographs.Having acquired his first Morgan, a four-wheeled 4/4, in 1998, Stephen Clark restored a very old, two-speed three-wheeler between 2005 and 2010 and has since driven it extensively in the UK and France. Complete with owner’s insights and drawing on his experience as the registrar and a director of the Morgan Three-Wheeler Club Ltd, this is a highly accessible and informative guide to this unusual and appealing vehicle.

Although the Greeks were responsible for the first systematic philosophy of which we have any record, they were not alone in the Mediterranean world and were happy to draw inspiration from other traditions; traditions that are now largely neglected by philosophers and scholars. This book tells the story of 'Greek Philosophy', paying due attention to its historical context and the contributions made by Egyptians, Hebrews, Persians and even barbarians from northern Europe. Stephen Clark provides a narrative history of the philosophical traditions that took shape over several centuries in the Mediterranean world and offers a comprehensive survey of this crucial period in the history of philosophy.The book includes a thorough historical and philosophical overview of all the key thinkers, events and ideas that characterized the period and explores in detail central themes such as the contest of gods and giants, the contrast between the reality and appearance, and the idea of the philosopher. Ideal for undergraduate students, this concise and accessible book provides a comprehensive guide to a fascinating period in the history of philosophy.

Few things are more essential to the health of the church than clear understanding of the Bible's teaching concerning the person of Jesus Christ. Doctrine informs devotion, and this, in turn, motivates discipleship. Neglect or misunderstanding of Christology will inevitably weaken Christian character and conduct.Furthermore, the ascendancy of pluralism leads many to the view that there is nothing unique about Jesus, and the media regularly present distorted portraits of him. It is essential that the church is able to proclaim the authentic and incomparable Christ to a needy world.This stimulating volume, based on the second Affinity Theological Study Conference, offers biblical and theological explorations of the majesty and mystery of God incarnate in Jesus Christ. All the contributors are fully committed to the belief that the Jesus of the Bible is the Jesus of history and the Christ of faith.Contents and contributors:1. Introduction - Stephen Clark2.
