David Hartley on Human Nature
In this first complete account of Hartley's thought, Richard C. Allen explains Hartley's theories of physiology, perception and action, language and cognition, emotional development and transformation, and spiritual transcendence. By drawing a biographical portrait of its subject, the book explores the relationship of mind and body in Hartley's system, and surveys Hartley's influence upon later scientists and social reformers, particularly Joseph Priestley.
Alabama Notes
"The data presented in Alabama Notes, Volumes 3 and 4 derive primarily from county court records, specifically wills and deeds, as well as selected marriage books and are supplemented by cemetery records, census records, and numerous other records of miscellaneous origin. A sequel to Mrs. England's Alabama Notes, Volumes 1 and 2 (see Item 1680), the work at hand refers to thousands of ancestors whose records were culled from the counties of Autauga, Bibb, Butler, Clarke, Coffee, Conecuh, Dallas, Greene, Lowndes, Macon, Marengo, Monroe, Perry, Shelby, and Wilcox" -- publisher website (August 2007).
Athens, Sayre, and Waverly
With Athens, Sayre, and Waverly, the first pictorial history of the valley, Bonnie Stacy has created a nostalgic look at the picturesque communities where the Susquehanna and the Chemung Rivers flow together. Over 200 rare images from the late 1770s to the present chronicle the proud lumber, canal, and railroad traditions that first drew residents to this bucolic area. From the unique house photographs taken by local photographer M. Louis Gore to the unusual archaeological and historic photographs from the collection of the Tioga Point Museum, these images bring the past to life. In Revolutionary times, Tioga Point was the location of Fort Sullivan. Later, the area was settled by lumbermen, canal workers, and railroaders. Included here are painted portraits of the well-known founders of the settlements in the area, as well as those of everyday people--millworkers, shopkeepers, and bridge builders--who made their marks here and enriched their communities.
Chicago's Forgotten Synagogues
The disappearing history of Chicago's Jewish past can be found in the religious architecture of its stately synagogues and communal buildings. Whether modest or majestic, wood or stone, the buildings reflected their members' views on faith and their commitment to the neighborhoods where they lived in a time when individuals and the community were inseparable from their neighborhood synagogues, temples, and shuls. From Chicago's oldest Jewish congregation, Kehilath Anshe Maariv Temple (Pilgrim Baptist), to Ohave Sholom (St. Basils Greek Orthodox), to Kehilath Anshe Maariv's last independent building (Operation Push), come and explore Chicago's forgotten synagogues and communal buildings. Nearly 150 years of Chicago history unfolds in Chicago's Forgotten Synagogues as the photographs and accompanying stories tell of the synagogues' past greatness and their present and uncertain future.
