Hi Non-theist Friends (= nontheist friends + atheist Quakers + Friends/Quakers),

My most successful approach at finding such book resources has been with Worldcat.org - https://www.worldcat.org/ - because it tells you where the book is located physically near you, but when I just searched on "Cambridge companion to Quakerism", there were only two copies listed in other countries. (Searching on my recent book, "Naked Harbin Ethnography," brings up 6 copies in libraries in the U.S. and Canada).

My next approach is with Open Library - https://openlibrary.org/ - but nothing came up for the new "Cambridge companion to Quakerism" (2018). (And I had to search on the full title of my book to find it: e.g. "Naked Harbin Ethnography: Hippies, Warm Pools, Counterculture, Clothing-Optionality & Virtual Harbin," since "Naked Harbin Ethnography" didn't work).

Partly out of interest myself, and partly because I'd like matriculated students at World Univ & Sch to have a good research library online from their homes in many languages - re https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Library_Resources - I also google searched on "best online public libraries" and found:

I also searched for "Cambridge companion to Quakerism" in the

Internet Archive - https://archive.org/

Smithsonian Library of Congress - https://www.loc.gov/ &  https://siarchives.si.edu/what-we-do/how-search-smithsonian-institution-archives-collections-online

Digital Public Library of America - https://dp.la/about/frequently-asked-questions/search-tips

Europeana - https://www.europeana.eu/portal/en

University of Pennsylvania's online library - http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/search.html - 

... all without success. 

Your local interlibrary loan would be a good bet. 

Maybe Friendly-informed World University and School can collaborate eventually with the Quaker Tri-colleges' libraries of Haverford, Swarthmore and Bryn Mawr. Their library system is called Tripod - https://www.brynmawr.edu/lits - and they also didn't yet have "Cambridge companion to Quakerism."

I think most of the above links are already listed in the Library Resources' wiki page at WUaS here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Library_Resources.

Tripod is linked here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Quakers_-_Religious_Society_of_Friends - but not here yet - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nontheist_Friends_(atheist_Quakers%3F) .

Sorry I couldn't put the book in your hand. 

Cheers, Scott

Dear NTFriends,

Does anyone have access to articles from the book in my subject line? It is edited by Stephen W. Angell and Pink Dandelion. 

A mystical Friend of mine sent me a link to an article "Quakers and Non-Theism by Dan Christy Randazzo; apparently whatever she received was a preview and there were a number of pages omitted, which makes for frustrating reading.

Caveat: I do not know if it would be violating copyright laws to print an individual copy.

Thanks, cc

Many thanks J.... the pages are 274-289. 

...
Have you read the article yet? He devotes space to Os Cresson and Robin Alpern and I was wondering whether he captured their thoughts right?

NtFs,  

Thanks and interesting! 

It's just such great resources as the "Quakers and Non-theism" article which you shared 

- https://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=lang_en&id=PEFPDwAAQBAJ&oi=fnd&pg=PA274&dq=Contemporary+Quaker+Use+of+Metaphor&ots=RmH-lT-ZZI&sig=CgSHq_qhEOz5gOr7Td4RW3DKGbI#v=onepage&q=Contemporary%20Quaker%20Use%20of%20Metaphor&f=false 

- and in a Google Books' platform, which makes accessing information easy, and in a new and free way, - and less based on place and proximity to well-to-do libraries that can buy such books ... Such access could help many, many people who have very, very few resources in other countries too. (Friendly-informed World University and School's online Libraries - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Library_Resources - would like to expand and extend this well beyond Google's snippet view etc. It would be great too if World University and School libraries could facilitate moving online with public libraries too - as resources for matriculated students especially. Lawsuits took place re Google Books, and still we have snippet views, etc. I've added some of these email resources to one of my two blog posts from today - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/03/ntf-talk-cambridge-companion-to.html. This said, Friendly-informed World University and School is planning to offer an online bookstore, and academic publisher - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - planned in each of all 7,097 living languages, and with machine translations).

Thank you, and glad you found some of this article !

Regards,

Scott
