A Daughter of Francis Martin
"A Daughter of Francis Martin ... remains true to the known facts while telling a compelling story that pulls the reader deeper and deeper into the circumstances of Mary Martin. We are convinced that the principals (characters) have lives beyond the tale. They are multi-dimensional characters, each has his or her own flaws and often lives or grows to understand or undergo the consequences...Virginia Chute has, to my mind, captured the soul of 17th century Falmouth before its fall." -William David Barry, Maine historian and author of Maine: The Wilder Half of New England. About the author: The late Virginia Chute was born in Portland, Maine and earned a BA and MA at the University of Maine. She taught English Literature and Introductory Philosophy for a few years and then owned and operated a used bookstore for twenty-three years She married poet and biologist, Robert M.

Deformations and Transfigurations
"This title was first published in 2002. A series of meditations by the internationally renowned sociologist, David Martin. Martin presents a distinctive angle of vision on key issues of Christian faith, dividing the book into three clear sections: the Liturgical Year; the Christian agenda, including prophecy, justification, sacred places and spaces, wisdom, providence, peace and war, angelic and demonic; and Emergent Occasions such as the fall of the Berlin wall, the 900th anniversary of Winchester Cathedral, commemoration of poets and of martyrs, and more."--Provided by publisher.
Ruin and Restoration
To suppose that God has a providential plan based on a special covenant with Israel and realised in the atonement presents us with a moral problem. In Ruin and Restoration David Martin sketches a radical naturalistic account of the atonement based on the innocent paying for the sins of the guilty through ordinary social processes. An exercise in socio-theology, the book reflects on the contrast between ’the world’ governed by the dynamic of violence as analysed by the social sciences, including international relations, and the emergence in Christianity (and Buddhism) of a non-violent alternative. A ’governing essay’ fuses frameworks drawn from Reinhold Niebuhr, Karl Jaspers, Ernst Troeltsch and Max Weber and explores the relation between the cultural sciences, especially sociology, and theology treated as another but very distinctive cultural science. Six commentaries then deal with the atonement in detail; with the nature of Christian language and grammar, and with its characteristic mutations due to necessary compromises with ’the world’; with sex and violence; and with the liturgy as a concentrated mode of reconciliation.
Evergreen Muse
Elizabeth Aline Colburne (1885-1948) was one of the most accomplished artists ever active in Washington State. An integral part of the regional Arts and Crafts Movement, she is known today for her extraordinary color woodcuts produced during the 1920s and 1930s. These prints depict the Pacific Northwest landscape in a technique that was highly influenced by Japanese ukiyo-e prints. Colborne elected to design, carve, and print her own editions, using brilliant colors and innovative, multiple overlay techniques. Evergreen Muse is the first in-depth study of her art and presents all the known color woodcuts that she created. In addition to color woodcuts, Colborne made drawings in graphite and colored pencil, as well as small, intimate and highly detailed gouache paintings. Born in South Dakota, the artist divided her time between Bellingham, Washington, and New York, where she studied with Rockwell Kent, Robert Henri, and Allen Lewis and became a leading children's book illustrator. David F. Martin is an independent art historian and curator in Seattle.
IVF and Assisted Reproduction
This is the first transnational history of IVF and assisted reproduction. It is a key text for scholars and students in social science, history, science and technology studies (STS), cultural studies, and gender and sexuality studies, and a resource for journalists, policymakers, and anyone interested in assisted reproduction. IVF was seen as revolutionary in 1978 when the first two IVF babies were born, in the UK and India. Assisted reproduction has now contributed to the birth of around ten million people. The book traces the work of IVF teams as they developed new techniques and laid the foundations of a multi-billion-dollar industry. It analyses the changing definitions and experience of...
