Stan Pearson, a successful, wealthy stock broker, recently divorced from an unfaithful wife, suddenly leaves his position with a top national firm to engage in a period of introspection. His three adult children, a son and two daughters, one of whom is expecting his first grandchild, stay close as their father searches for answers to life's problems and challenges. His former college roommate, the dean of students at an elite Virginia University, offers him a position teaching business to students in their MBA program. He accepts the challenge. A lovely young graduate student and fellow faculty member, who taught high school for several years and is working on her doctorate, offers Stan advice, and the two become friends and eventually lovers. When the company he left offers him a top position, he struggles to decide whether to accept it, wondering whether the young woman he loves will join him at the head of a large company in the center of New York's financial district. Their love is tested to the limits.
Descendants of Thomas William Holland and Milley Boyett compiles information from many sources None of the records in my book have been imported from online histories. All of them have been entered by me and most have been verified not once, but several times. When I entered names, dates and other information from book sources, I attempted to verify the data with census, vital records or another source. An Old Holland Family Record Book that was originally owned by Thomas William Holland is the "Key" that opened research for this book. Living relatives and fellow researchers provided me with priceless information that I supported by vital statistics, census records, deeds and wills.

Ghulam Bombaywala sells bagels in Houston. Demetrios dishes up pizza in Connecticut. The Wangs serve tacos in Los Angeles. How ethnicity has influenced American eating habits—and thus, the make-up and direction of the American cultural mainstream—is the story told in We Are What We Eat. It is a complex tale of ethnic mingling and borrowing, of entrepreneurship and connoisseurship, of food as a social and political symbol and weapon—and a thoroughly entertaining history of our culinary tradition of multiculturalism. The story of successive generations of Americans experimenting with their new neighbors’ foods highlights the marketplace as an important arena for defining and expressing...

It is a suitable complement to any standard hermeneutics textbook.

At the 1989 Smithsonian Folklife Festival, throngs of visitors gathered on the National Mall to celebrate Hawai‘i’s multicultural heritage through its traditional arts. The "edu-tainment" spectacle revealed a richly complex Hawai‘i few tourists ever see and one never before or since replicated in a national space. The program was restaged a year later in Honolulu for a local audience and subsequently inspired several spin-offs in Hawai‘i. In both Washington, D.C., and Honolulu, the program instigated a new paradigm for cultural representation. Based on archival research and extensive interviews with festival organizers and participants, this innovative cross-disciplinary study uncove...
