Survivor
This is the true story of one of the underappreciated men of the British Merchant Navy.Jack Stringer had just turned 19 years old when the Second World War began on the 3rd of September 1939.Within seven hours of the declaration of war the first British ship, the liner SS Athenia, was sunk by the Germans in the Atlantic Ocean. At the same time, Jack was on board another liner the SS Arandora Star with a hidden cargo, sailing parallel to the Athenia. As Jack's route was further south, this was the first of many times that he was fortunate to avoid being attacked.Following training as a radio officer at his local college in Hull, he was thankful to survive the horror of being torpedoed on his first two trips in the Atlantic, only three months apart. After the safe completion of several hazardous return trips, Jack's next ship was attacked and sunk off the coast of West Africa. By pure chance he then evaded the destruction of the 'second Pearl Harbour' at Bari, Italy, in the Mediterranean. He lived in fear of being attacked throughout the five years he was at sea on predominantly old, poorly maintained cargo ships, with weather that was often atrocious. He then faced bombing raids on returning to his home city of Hull, Yorkshire.After the war, the Captain of U-Boat-123 which had sunk Jack for the final time in the Atlantic, provided his photos of this attack.This book showcases these photographs, along with more than 70 other photos and documents, mostly in colour, forming a unique collection.

Payment for Environmental Services in Agricultural Landscapes
In recent years, development policy has responded to an increasing concern about natural resource degradation by setting up innovative payment for environmental services (PES) programs in developing countries. PES programs use market and institutional incentives in order to meet both environmental and poverty alleviation objectives. However, their optimal design, implications for the rural poor, and how these initiatives integrate into international treaties on global warming and biodiversity loss are still being discussed. This book addresses these issues by scrutinizing analytical tools, providing policy insights and stimulating debate on linkages between poverty alleviation and environmental protection. In particular, it turns attention towards the role of environmental services in agricultural landscapes as they provide a living for many poor in developing countries. It serves as a valuable reference for academics and students in various disciplines, as well as for policy makers and advisors.This book is a co-publication between Springer and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

Sociological History of Christian Worship
In this book the 2000 year history of Christian worship is viewed from a sociological perspective. Martin Stringer develops the idea of discourse as a way of understanding the place of Christian worship within its many and diverse social contexts. Beginning with the Biblical material the author provides a broad survey of changes over 2000 years of the Christian church, together with a series of case studies that highlight particular elements of the worship, or specific theoretical applications. Stringer does not simply examine the mainstream traditions of Christian worship in Europe and Byzantium, but also gives space to lesser-known traditions in Armenia, India, Ethiopia and elsewhere. Offering a contribution to the ongoing debate that breaks away from a purely textual or theological study of Christian worship, this book provides a greater understanding of the place of worship in its social and cultural context.
