In the Light of a Blessed Tree: Illuminations of Islamic Belief, Practice, and History $18 “In the light of A Blessed Tree presents an absolutely original, experientially textured introduction to Islamic belief, practice, and history for both the intrigued newcomer as well as for those who already possess some basic literacy in Islam. Slowly crafted over the years following the terror attacks of September 11, 2001, this modest book speaks with scholarly integrity but in an everyday voice, full of real-life narratives that “illuminate” the beliefs, practices, and histories described. More, it brings the reader in touch with the psychological, social, and cultural forces that shape the way we come to the question of Islam in a wounded world, still grappling with the trauma of 9/11 and very much still in a state of war. For these and other reasons, In the Light of a Blessed Tree speaks to contemporary images and realities, even as it walks through the ancient origins of Islam.” |

The Cross and the Lynching Tree $28 “A landmark in the conversation about race and religion in America. > “They put him to death by hanging him on a tree.” Acts 10:39 > The cross and the lynching tree are the two most emotionally charged symbols in the history of the African American community. In this powerful new work, theologian James H. Cone explores these symbols and their interconnection in the history and souls of black folk. Both the cross and the lynching tree represent the worst in human beings and at the same time a thirst for life that refuses to let the worst determine our final meaning. While the lynching tree symbolized white power and “black death,” the cross symbolizes divine power and “black life” God overcoming the power of sin and death. For African Americans, the image of Jesus, hung on a tree to die, powerfully grounded their faith that God was with them, even in the suffering of the lynching era. > In a work that spans social history, theology, and cultural studies, Cone explores the message of the spirituals and the power of the blues; the passion and of Emmet Till and the engaged vision of Martin Luther King, Jr.; he invokes the spirits of Billie Holliday and Langston Hughes, Fannie Lou Hamer and Ida B. Well, and the witness of black artists, writers, preachers, and fighters for justice. And he remembers the victims, especially the 5,000 who perished during the lynching period. Through their witness he contemplates the greatest challenge of any Christian theology to explain how life can be made meaningful in the face of death and injustice.” |

A Cardinal Sin $25.98 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:CHAPTER III. FAMILY HISTORY AND EARLY PEOPLE. IN spite of Horace’s advice—to plunge boldly into the middle of what things you may have to tell— there is much to be said in favor of the New Testament method of beginning with a genealogy. It is, undoubtedly, a great temptation to strike at once into the middle of a situation, hoping you may arrest your reader’s attention and excite his curiosity, but unfortunately, sooner or later, events which led up to that particular situation must be disclosed, and in nine cases out of ten, these events are embodied in family history—and all family history except one’s own is dull reading. Nevertheless, we must know something about the Bourchier family. This is indispensable, so the sooner the explanation is made the better. We are not called upon to descend the family tree below a certain Robert Bourchier. As he himself could have said but little about his own father, and nothing at all about his grandfather, we may draw the line at him. After Robert Bourchier is history—before him fable and tradition. With these latter we have nothing to do. This Robert Bourchier, who was probably of French descent, amassed a large fortune. His money was made by trade—in the principal seaport and town in the West of England—made by honorable mercantile transactions his descendants boast—by traffic in slaves the detractors of the family assert. But, however gained, his wealth must have been considerable, for in the year 1750 he retired from business, and acquiredby purchase the large estate of Redhills, in Westshire. Robert Bourchier the first died in 1780. He begat Robert Bourchier the second, and several other children. No doubt the latter were suitably provided for, as he left Redhills to his eldest son.

A Century in the Works: Freese and Nichols Consulting Engineers, 1894-1994 $39.95 In November of 1891, at the age of twenty-five, John MacDonald Blackstock Hawley arrived in Fort Worth, Texas. A civil engineer from Minnesota, Hawley hung out his shingle in 1894 and began a tradition of engineering in Texas that his successors in the firm of Freese and Nichols have continued for one hundred years. This history of Freese and Nichols focuses on the firm’s contributions, design innovations, and firsts in water supply, water treatment, and wastewater engineering; transportation design for roads, bridges, and airports; city and regional planning; environmental science; and general civil and environmental engineering. A personal as well as professional account, A Century in the Works offers anecdotes about John Hawley’s battle-ax punch and eccentric scientific experiments, Simon Freese’s penchant for practical jokes, and Marvin Nichols’s water fights and genealogical shakeups of his family tree. The Freese and Nichols story will interest urban and environmental historians, professional engineers, and those working in related fields of hydraulic engineering, municipal and industrial water and sanitary systems, water quality, dam safety, waste management, transportation systems, aviation facilities, and urban development. The student of Texas history will find much of interest here as well. In many ways, the history of Freese and Nichols parallels that of the state for the past one hundred years. The firm has had a pivotal role in developing Texas water resources since Hawley arrived in the state. And it will be the rare Texas reader who has never gone boating or picnicking at one of the over a hundred Texas lakes engineered by the firm in the intervening century. |
