Life of a Man Named Kenneth
Kenneth Rogers Bridges turns special moments into vivid memories and then shares them in such a delightful manner that the reader feels that he or she is part of those memories. Walk with him through the decades and share his successes and his challenges, his laughter and his tears, and his transformation from the son of sharecroppers to a leading educator in North Georgia. Bridges writes appreciatively of his early years of financial struggle tempered by the love of a caring family who taught him the importance of hard work and education. He weaves subtle advice and moral values throughout his colorful narrative. But the real story is even broader and richer. It's the story of a vanishing time that now exists primarily in the memories of those who lived in that time. Only a few can share their memories in such a way that draws others into their stories. Bridges possesses this talent. He paints a detailed word picture of the times and the environment and allows the reader to feel almost-firsthand what it was like to grow up in rural Georgia in the 1940s.

The Triple Path
There's a crisis of meaning in the modern world. How many of us yearn for something, without knowing exactly what? We've lost something, straying in a world of distractions. Society's increasing secularization has stripped the sacred from our lives and culture, jettisoning much that is bright and good in exchange for dark, dull substitutes. Every human society has had religion — has needed religion. It is foolish to think ours is any different. But at the same time, the ancient cosmologies and doctrines of the world's major religions appear to be in ever-greater conflict with modern discoveries, making traditional religion feel increasingly dissatisfying and irrelevant to growing numbers o...
Historic Highway Bridges of Michigan
Michigan's historic highway bridges are rapidly being torn down and replaced as they deteriorate or become unable to support increased traffic volumes and loads. While the state has the responsibility of providing safe bridges, historian Charles K. Hyde maintains that the state must also preserve many of these remaining historic structures to insure that future generations will have them to view and appreciate. In Historic Highway Bridges of Michigan, Hyde identifies Michigan's historically significant highway bridges within the broader contexts of American bridge design and construction in the 19th and 20th centuries. The book summarizes the improvement of highway bridge design in the United States and compares Michigan's experiences with national trends. To aid the reader interested in visiting the historic highway bridges of Michigan, regional maps show the location of bridges included in the text.
