The book ""The Anglican Church, The Creature And Slave Of The State: Being A Refutation Of Certain Puseyite Claims"" is written by Peter Cooper. The book is a detailed analysis and refutation of certain claims made by the Puseyites, a group of Anglican theologians who believed in the Catholic tradition and authority of the Church. The book argues that the Anglican Church is not a slave to the State, as the Puseyites claimed, but rather an independent institution with its own governance and authority. The author provides historical evidence to support this argument, tracing the development of the Church of England from its origins in the 16th century to the present day.The book also addresses the Puseyites' claims about the Church's relationship with the State, arguing that while the Church may have some ties to the State, it is not subservient to it. The author argues that the Church's primary allegiance is to God, and that it must be free to follow its own conscience and teachings without interference from the State.Overall, ""The Anglican Church, The Creature And Slave Of The State: Being A Refutation Of Certain Puseyite Claims"" is a comprehensive and well-researched critique of the Puseyite movement and their claims about the Anglican Church.

Peter Guralnick, dean of rock-and roll-storytellers, writes in the introduction to Johnny's Cash & Charley's Pride, "Peter Cooper has always been in the mix." Whether spending time with Johnny Cash or Kris Kristofferson, playing bass for Loretta Lynn, discussing songwriting with Taylor Swift, or introducing the Grateful Dead's Robert Hunter to Porter Wagoner, Peter Cooper has continually found himself in the presence of music royalty and the recipient of countless intimate conversations, asides, and confidences. In Johnny's Cash & Charley's Pride: Lasting Legends and Untold Adventures in Country Music, Cooper chronicles his many "in the mix" tales since arriving in Nashville in 2000 to cover the country music scene for the Tennessean. Filled with untold stories and newly revealed histories, it is an informal yet well-studied inside view of country music's greatest characters and pivotal moments. Now a senior director at the Country Music Hall of Fame, Cooper's stories are akin to a curated behind-the-scenes tour of country music. Spanning nineteen chapters, Cooper offers an original take on the formative days at WSM and engaging introductions to an ensemble cast of country music's icons, quirks, and golden-but-hidden personalities. With a gem on every page, Cooper has crafted a perceptive, smiling, and atypical immersion into the world of country music that will keep any music fan engaged with its wit, passion, and authenticity.
