Squire's Legacy
Squire's Legacy is a lovely story of a family that did not know the meaning of "defeat" and the still larger story of southern West Virginia communities that have been described often but rarely understood. Missionaries, such as the late Jack Weller, have called them "yesterday's people," fundraisers seeking charity from outside the region have demeaned them as "our contemporary ancestors;" and, sociologists have called their folkways an "analgesic subculture" wedded to fatalistic ways. Refreshingly, "Appalachia," code for we're-poor-help-us, never appears on these pages. In this shining tapestry of remembrances, facile generalization so common to much of the writing about the region gives w...

Daddy the 8th
An ensemble of actors who are about to start rehearsing a play about the Moree race riots visit Endeavour Lane in Moree to get a feel of the lie of the land. This is where the young Aboriginal 'Cheeky' McIntosh was shot and killed during the infamous 1982 rumble between local whites and blacks. The leader/director/writer of the ensemble has a more intimate knowledge of the site. Back in 1982 he remembers playing cricket with his school chums using, as a lark, a wicket made up of a piece of the makeshift ‘stockade’ Cheeky and his mates tried to hole up behind. Now, while the actors mill around Endeavour Lane, an old man appears in their midst, sits down and declares he is waiting for a bu...
Sounds Senses
"'Sounds Senses' takes sound as a point of departure for engaging the francophone postcolonial condition. Offering a synthetic overview of sound studies, the book dismantles the oculocentrism and retinal paradigms of francophone postcolonial studies. It introduces two primary theoretical thrusts - the unheard and the unintegrated - to the project of analyzing, extending, and rejuvenating francophone postcolonial studies."--OCLC OLUC.
Groundhog Day
Explores the national phenomenon of Groundhog Day, opening with a look at the annual celebration in Punxsutawney. The author investigates the holiday's European origins, recounts the history of the groundhog as weather prognosticator in America -- from ethnic symbol to pop culture hero -- and traces the groundhog's appearance in poetry, songs, and recipes. Other weather lore and weather-predicting days are also discussed.
No One Likes Just Plain Pumpkin
The Bible indicates that prayers smell good to God. The Bible indicates that people often look good to God. But, have you ever considered the fact that sometimes people do not taste good to God? The Lord's words to the church at Laodicea in Revelation 3 indicate this very fact, for He said, "Because you are lukewarm, I will spew you out of my mouth." Why did He indicate the people of the church at Laodicea did not taste good to Him? It was essentially because they were failing to live out His purposes for principled Christian living. In No One Likes Just Plain Pumpkin, Pastor Ron Branch takes in hand to explain the importance for Christians to be more than just plain pumpkin Christians. Just like taking a spoonful of plain pumpkin will make most people gag, church people who do not embrace and mature in the principles of life in Jesus Christ may have the same affect on the Lord as suggested by His words to the Laodicean church. This book will both teach and encourage people of the church how important it is to taste good to God.
