The Mecklenburg Signers and Their Neighbors
Probably the finest genealogical record ever compiled on the people of ancient Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, this work consists of extensive source records and documented family sketches. Collectively, what is presented here is a veritable history of a people--a "tribe" of people--who settled in the valley between the Yadkin and Catawba rivers more than two hundred years ago. The object of the book is to show where these people originated and what became of them and their descendants. Included among the source records are the various lists of the Signers of the Mecklenburg Declaration; Abstracts of Some Ancient Items from Mecklenburg County Records; Marriage Records and Relationships of Mecklenburg People; List of Public Officials of Mecklenburg County, 1775-1785; First U.S. Census of 1790 by Districts; Tombstone Inscriptions; and Sketches of the Mecklenburg Signers. The work concludes with indexes of subjects and places, as well as a name index of 5,000 persons. (Part III of "Lost Tribes of North Carolina.")
Good Neighbors
The moral principles prescribed for friendship, civil society, and democratic public life apply imperfectly to life around home, where we interact day to day without the formal institutions, rules of conduct, and means of enforcement that guide us in other settings. This work explores how encounters among neighbours create a democracy of everyday life, which has been with us since the beginning of American history and is expressed in settler, immigrant, and suburban narratives and in novels, poetry, and popular culture.
Neighbors With Benefits
The enemy of the HOA is her friend…and maybe much, much more… Ridley Lennox is not having a good day. Her high school nemesis becoming president of the Homeowner’s Association and trying to ruin her life is bad enough. But when Satan himself moves in next door, everything really starts circling the drain. Finn Doyle is a menace. The fact that he’s the most gratuitously sexy, extroverted jerk she’s ever laid eyes on is irrelevant. His unneighborly actions make him her sworn enemy. Which makes it super weird when he joins her war against the HOA. That’s when everything gets…wacky. Because somewhere along the line, Ridley, born introvert and known advocate of commitment avoidance,...
Neighbors
Suburban regular guy Earl Keese confronts the yawning pit of chaos in the persons of Harry and Ramona, a younger couple who have just moved into the only other house on their dead-end street. Literally overnight, Earl's painstakingly controlled world is turned upside down. Soon he is engaged in guerilla warfare with his new neighbors, who seem to threaten the very fabric of his carefully constructed reality.
Neighbors and Strangers
Combining legal and social history, Bruce Mann explores the relationship between law and society from the mid-seventeenth century to the eve of the Revolution. Analyzing a sample of more than five thousand civil cases from the records of local courts in Connecticut, he shows how once-neighborly modes of disputing yielded to a legal system that treated neighbors and strangers alike. During the colonial period population growth, immigration, economic development, war, and religious revival transformed the nature and context of official and economic relations in Connecticut. Towns lost the insularity and homogeneity that made them the embodiment of community. Debt litigation was transformed fro...
Global Neighbors
How can people of faith meet the challenge of living morally and faithfully within an increasingly globalized society? Much of the debate about the global market economy is polarized between pro-market ideology and anti-globalization activism. Global Neighbors sidesteps that dichotomy, presenting instead a nuanced, constructive approach. Leading theologians, ethicists, economists, and church leaders here examine the Christian call to live morally, faithfully, and responsibly in today's global marketplace and offer alternative perspectives to such utilitarians as Peter Singer.

Neighbors poems by Tom Boswell
In Neighbors, Tom Boswell lays bare the hidden underside of a seemingly bucolic small town and the complex, often tormented inner lives of its residents. Boswell's poems focus a cold but compassionate eye on sharply observed, revelatory moments that unlock layers of complex, buried meanings, often poignant, sometimes horrific. A poem like "Visitation" illuminates a passing moment as if in a camera flash, capturing unsuspected depths and ironies as complex as a Chekhov short story compressed into eighteen lines. These unassuming poems pack a wallop as incendiary as cluster bombs. --Timothy Walsh, author of When the World Was Rear-Wheel Drive Neighbors live all around you yet no one is anyone you expect. This collection of poems reminds us of the monsters, the mundane, and the magnificent folks who live next door, across the street, and at the edge of town. As familiar as the flat horizons of the Midwest and as startling as glancing over little white roadside crosses and seeing your own name, these lines sharpen your gaze on what surrounds you unnoticed every day. “Long live the dandelions!” Take a look. -- Eric Paul Schaffer, author of A Million-Dollar Bill
