Here Is What Happened
Here is What Happened: A Black Man's Discoveries and Decisions is the autobiography of Thomas MacDonald, a Bermudian living in his early years on Britain's oldest colony. His story begins as an illegitimate child born to a mother with minimal resources, who found a way to escape his humble beginnings through hard work and determination. After discovering his true nature, MacDonald emigrated to the United States and shrewdly carved out a successful life for himself. Here he freely shares the disappointments and triumphs that helped shape the character of a man who lives his life to the fullest with minimal regrets.

MacDonald: Thomas Wingfold Curate, Two-Column Edition
Michael Phillips' working side-by-side comparison of the 1985 publication of The Curate's Awakening with MacDonald's 19th century original, for work on The Cullen Collection edition of Thomas Wingfold Curate.
Thomas Wingfold Curate
A triumphant quest for the truth. First in the Wingfold Trilogy from the 19th-century Scottish author of Paul Faber Surgeon and There and Back. The character of Thomas Wingfold is introduced in this preeminent of George MacDonald’s English novels, a young curate suddenly brought face-to-face with the hypocrisy of having sought the pulpit as a profession rather than a spiritual calling. Wingfold’s prayerful journey into faith highlights MacDonald’s most powerful “theological novel.” We also meet the dwarf Joseph Polwarth, Wingfold’s spiritual mentor and one of MacDonald’s most memorable humble apologists for truth. The depth and poignancy of Wingfold’s quest makes this 1876 publication one of MacDonald’s best-loved works. MacDonald biographer and editor Michael Phillips ranks Thomas Wingfold Curate near the apex of MacDonald’s corpus, among his personal favorites along with Malcolm, Sir Gibbie, and Donal Grant.

The Big Roads
Discover the twists and turns of one of America’s great infrastructure projects with this “engrossing history of the creation of the U.S. interstate system” (Los Angeles Times). It’s become a part of the landscape that we take for granted, the site of rumbling eighteen-wheelers and roadside rest stops, a familiar route for commuters and vacationing families. But during the twentieth century, the interstate highway system dramatically changed the face of our nation. These interconnected roads—over 47,000 miles of them—are man-made wonders, economic pipelines, agents of sprawl, uniquely American symbols of escape and freedom, and an unrivaled public works accomplishment. Though off...

The Longest Line on the Map
From the award-winning author of American Canopy, a dazzling account of the world’s longest road, the Pan-American Highway, and the epic quest to link North and South America, a dramatic story of commerce, technology, politics, and the divergent fates of the Americas in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The Pan-American Highway, monument to a century’s worth of diplomacy and investment, education and engineering, scandal and sweat, is the longest road in the world, passable everywhere save the mythic Darien Gap that straddles Panama and Colombia. The highway’s history, however, has long remained a mystery, a story scattered among government archives, private papers, and fading me...
