Roger Bansemer shows us the Southern shores of the United States as only an artist can. His brush finds beauty in the simplicity of a sandbur, in the intricacy of ship skeletons, in the tangled webs of shrimp nets, and in the weathered faces of ship captains. Bansemer's Book of the Southern Shores is an artist's journal, describing in words and images the colorful places nestled up and down these coasts as he strolls through the towns, guides his boat along the white beaches, and chats with the locals. The artist's goal is to capture the natural beauty of the shores and share it before it disappears. Travel along to discover the wildlife and the people who call these shores home. Join Roger as he explores the diversity of the South's coastline-from the sponge divers of Tarpon Springs, the basket weavers of the Virgin Islands, the alligator wrestlers of the Everglades, to the marshlands of coastal Georgia, the lighthouses of Florida, and the song of the cicada throughout the South.

With thousands of islands adrift in cerulean waters and a long, labyrinthine coastline, Greeks have always traveled liquid highways. They built the world's first documented lighthouse at the Mediterranean port of Alexandria more than two-thousand years ago, and since that time countless sentinels have risen and fallen on Greek shores. Weather, warfare, erosion, and earthquakes have reduced some to rubble, but more than 100 traditional stone lighthouses still stand in Greece today--old sentries keeping watch over every vessel, large or small, from freighters and tankers and cruise ships to fishermen and ferries. Their romance, beauty, and history are captured in this handy guidebook. Beguiling images, fascinating histories, and helpful travel information will guide you to these beloved seamarks in the land of Hellene.

In The Ascent of Society: The Social Imperative in Personal Salvation, author John S. Hatcher answers questions that have been explored by spiritual seekers for many yearshow does personal spiritual development translate into social experience? Is there a social imperative connected with individual spiritual growth? Is involvement with others necessary for one to evolve spiritually? This penetrating study describes the objective of personal spiritual growth as an ever-expanding sense of self that requires social relationships in order to develop. Hatcher focuses on the Bah belief that human history is a divinely guided process in which spiritual principles are gradually and progressively expressed in social institutions. He demonstrates that the aspirant to spiritual transformation cannot view personal health and development as being possible apart from the progress of human society as a whole.
