From the Director

Dear Reader, This is Not the End of the Book: A Conversation Curated by Jean-Philippe de Tonnac was published in June 2011 by Harvill Secker in England. This new book by Umberto Eco and Jean-Claude Carrire is simply a transcription of dialogues between these two writers about the state of the book. The title is the thesis. Neither believes the book is dead or anywhere near death. With e-books and electronic tablets and reading devices creating great excitement, it is reassuring that the book is still causing a stir. The form is not as significant as it once seemed. We have moved from clay tablets to animal skin to papyrus to vellum to paper and to digital and still the book is the carrier of civilizations (Thoreau). One person wrote recently that her house is suddenly straighter. Her reading device has all of her recent books on it and they are all in one place. Yet, she lamented, I used to look at books beside my bed or couch like friends who were visiting. Now, I see one more electronic device. Books for her are less personal now, and though she still loves reading, she has noticed that she watches more television than before. Mercer University Press is slowly moving to publishing selected titles for electronic devices as well as the print medium. This is not an exact science. Longevity of digital material is in serious question. One thing is for sure. A book published by this Press, printed on quality, recycled paper and bound in durable forms all here in the USAwill survive a minimum of 300 years. The reading device will last only until the next one comes out, and the cost is much more than just the hardware. The book is indeed not dead. In truth, it is not even sick. It is alive and well and still moving civilizations by inspiring readers to a better life.

Breathing and Walking Around

Meditations on a Life Kathy A. Bradley
Kathy A. Bradley, lives and writes in Bulloch County, Georgia, on a farm which, she is quick to point out, is two miles from the nearest paved road. She is an alumna of Wesleyan College and the Walter F. George School of Law of Mercer University, both in Macon, Georgia. She currently serves as an assistant district attorney for the Ogeechee Judicial Circuit.
Available as an e-book
Parables of life and nature in South Georgia

Breathing and Walking Around is not a memoir. It is a record of four years worth of observations of common people, everyday events, and the natural world made by Kathy Bradley from her home in the coastal plains of South Georgia. A lawyer by training, a storyteller by nature, she shares with precision and layer upon layer of sensory image simple tales that emerge, in the end, as parables. Beginning at Sandhill, the house she built on her family farm, Bradley takes the reader with her as she walks miles of dirt roads with the dogs Lily and Tamar, alert to the details of rural livingthe movement of the seasons, the nearness and unpredictability of wildlife, the sights and sounds otherwise drowned out by twenty-first-century living. The meandering continues down the Atlantic beaches, the shorelines of inland lakes, backroads and interstates, and we are at her shoulder as she, like a paleontologist, uncovers joy in the magic and mystery of the familiar and the brand new. But Breathing and Walking Around is a true story and, so, along with the joy there are moments of questioning and uncertainty, moments when doubt challenges faith. It is in these moments, when Bradley struggles to bring order to her own life, that she most clearly articulates the universal truths that weave through all our stories, ribbons of continuity and hope.

After a death at the White Camellia Orphanage, young Pip Tatnall leaves Lexsy, Georgia to become a road kid, riding the rails east, west, and north. A bright, unusual boy who is disillusioned at a young age, Pip believes that he sees guilt shining in the faces of men wherever he goes. on his picaresque journey, he sweeps through society, revealing the highest and lowest in human nature and only slowly coming to self-understanding. He searches the points of the compass for what will help, groping for a place where he can feel content, certain that he has no place where he belongs and that he rides the rails through a great darkness. His difficult path to collect enough radiance to light his way home is the road of a boy struggling to come to terms with the cruel but sometimes lovely world of Depression-era America. on Youmanss prior forays into the past, reviewers praised her spellbinding force (Bob Sumner, Orlando Sentinel), prodigious powers of description (Philip Gambone, New York Times), serious artistry, unobtrusively beautiful language, and considerable power (fred Chappell, Raleigh News & Observer), haunting, lyrical language and fierce intelligence (starred review, Publishers Weekly.) Howard Bahr wrote of The Wolf Pit, Ms. Youmans is an inspiration to every writer who must compete with himself. I had thought Catherwood unsurpassable, but Ms. Youmans has done it. Her characters are real; they live and move in the stream of Time as if they had passed only yesterday. Her lyricism breaks my heart and fills me with envy and delight. no other writer I know of can bring the past to us so musically, so truly.

Going Farther into the Woods than the Woods Go

Seaborn Jones
Seaborn Jones of Lizella, Georgia, has published three chapbooks and two full-length books, Drowning from the Inside Out and Lost Keys. His work has appeared in the New York Quarterly, River Styx, and Southern Poetry Review. Honors include the Georgia Author of the Year Award in poetry, the Violet Reed Haas Poetry award, and selection as a Bread Loaf scholar. A former Marine, he was a lighting director for Mr. Rogers Neighborhood of Make-believe, is a certified zoo curator, and has taught poetry in Macon and San Francisco.
Poems from one of the most original voices in contemporary American Poetry
Going Farther into the Woods than the Woods Go opens with the poet speaking from an interior landscape in which life is going too fast and he is lonely and isolated from himself and others. Life is brutal, and the speaker finds himself constantly questioning his self-worth, yet in a surrealistic, witty fashion perhaps best described as black humor. As the book moves forward, the point of view shifts to a landscape largely identified as a desert. Many of these poems address the horrors of war, with concerns such as political liberation, elections, and the plight of refugees. In the third section of the book, the point of view shifts to third person. In this section, the speaker confronts and challenges the reader to face reality, but the speaker poses questions that the reader cannot answer. In fact, the reader is often faced with impossible demands at times amounting to a form of blackmail. Throughout the book, the aloneness and isolation of the individual is the paramount theme; yet, despite the darkness of the poets vision, his fresh, vivid imagery, use of wit and humor, and his unique approach to style and content make this book a showcase for one the most interesting and original voices in contemporary American poetry.

On the North Slope, Catharine Savage Brosmans ninth collection of poetry, displays once more the impressive range of her artistry and her powerful poetic vision. Divided into four parts, the volume includes free verse, blank verse, and rhymed quatrains. Taken together, the poems impart the very feeling of consciousness and illuminate both its potentialities and its burdens as it relates to the world. After the introductory poem, the first part, A Commonwealth of Place, features the winds, snow, light, and sunset of a Colorado winter. following poems combine elements of personal and historical experience with mountain and desert scenes, which illustrate the subtle bonds between such experiences and their natural and cultural settings. order under the Sun comprises eighteen lyrics, mostly rhymed, dealing with flowers, birds, trees, andone of Brosmans specialtiesfoodstuffs, including carrots, honey, and garlic. The tone of these lyrics, which focus on the human meaning of such natural objects, ranges from humorous to grave. The Scripted fate brings together narrative and lyric poems treating the poets girlhood, in addition to such topics as failure and unhappiness, dying, and friendship and love, ending with an affirmation of married happiness. The final part, Themes for the Muses, features creative artistsrodin, Donizetti, Liszt, and Yeats, among othersand performers. The poems emphasize creative work but even more the often dramatic dimensions of artists lives and the implications of artistic vision. readers of Brosmans new collection will find a generous spectrum of responses to experience, both light and dark, in poems of great verbal and visual appeal.

He won the 2004 Michael Shaara Prize for A Distant Flame, and in addition to a Governors Award in the Humanities, is a member of the Georgia Writers Hall of Fame.

A fictional glimpse into the heart of the least-known Emerson brother

Few people know that Ralph Waldo Emerson had a mentally challenged brother. now, in a deeply moving novel in letters, noted writer Philip Lee Williams imagines the last year of this brothers sad but transcendent life as he lives with a farm family in Massachusetts. Emersons Brother shows how this brother, Bulkeley, deals in his own way with many of the themes Waldo did, including nature, self-reliance, and love. Writing letters to his brother and friends such as Henry David Thoreau, Bulkeley emerson aches with the need to express himself, trapped as he is in the prison of his own genetics. Though Bulkeleys journey toward the end of his life can be agonizing and filled with unfilled longing, there is a quiet acceptance, too, as he nears his time to become part of nature itself. This fascinating novel about the least-known emerson brother brings to life the Transcendental currents of the time and shows how hard it was, for all the emersons, to live up to the expectations of their forefathers. fans of Henry Thoreau and Waldo emerson, as well as anyone with a brother, will find this novel an emotional recreation of an important period and place in our history.

Life of Dreams
The Good Times of Sportswriter fred russell Andrew Derr
Andrew Derr is Vanderbilt Universitys 1992 recipient of the Fred RussellGrantland Rice TRA Sportswriting Scholarship. A part-time freelance journalist since graduating in 1996, he lives in Maryland with his wife, Molly, and four children, Michael, Hannah, Isabella, and Lukas. His full-time career is with Deloitte Consulting.
The legacy of a legendary sports journalist and storyteller

Life of Dreams is the first complete biography of fred Mcferrin russell, one of the all-time stars in sports journalism. This biography details how the vanderbilt man started with the Nashville Banner in the late 1920s, ascended to Sports editor and remained with this paper loyally for sixty-nine years. He led the daily charge against the better-funded Tennessean, and it was a fierce rivalry for decades until the Banner folded in 1998. russells early success led to a position with the nationally recognized Saturday Evening Post, and from 19491962, he was the annual voice of college football with his immensely popular Pigskin Preview. He built long-lasting relationships with coaches, players, and other writers in the business, and russell wrote with a style that reflected his personality: fair, informative, and always with a sense of humor. He was a storyteller, whether it was athletes such as Bobby Jones or red Grange; or coaches such as red Sanders or Paul Bear Bryant, one of his closest friends. outliving almost all of his contemporaries, russell rubbed elbows with some of the greats of the twentieth century, with men such as Sparky Anderson, George Steinbrenner, Archie Manning, vince Dooley, and Lou Holtz. one of the unique elements of this biography is the russell legacy and the connection that exists between russells past and the sportswriters of today and the future. Two years after Grantland rice died in 1954, russell helped to organize the Grantland rice Scholarship, a four-year sportswriting scholarship awarded to an entering freshman at vanderbilt university.

The Atlanta Womans Club has steered the development and identity of Atlanta since 1895. Headquartered in the elegant and historic Wimbish House on Peachtree Street, the club symbolizes both a vibrant past and continuing hope for this unique Southern city. Through their affiliation with the Georgia and General federation of Womens Clubs, members have helped improve the quality of life in Atlanta, the South, and the world in the fields of politics, human rights, poverty, the arts, education, health, conservation and the understanding of international affairs. As educational advocates, they worked to set the foundation of the Atlanta Public Kindergarten system and Georgias public library system. Along with other Georgia federation of Womens Club members, the Atlanta Womans Club is a vested owner of Tallulah falls School, one of the most esteemed college preparatory private schools in the country. They helped establish the first farmers market in metro Atlanta and were instrumental in promoting the acquisition of a landing field and the building of what is now Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. few are aware of the clubs enormous effect on its community and state, or its ties to the Georgia federation of Womens Clubs (GafWC) and the General federation of Womens Clubs (GfWC), both of which have been a major force in the history of Georgia and the nation. A Light on Peachtree: A History of the Atlanta Womans Club is the story of the remarkable efforts and accomplishments of the Atlanta Womans Club from 1895 to present time.

A Titanic Love Story

Ida and Isidor Straus June Hall McCash
June Hall McCash is the author, co-author, or editor of seven books, six nonfiction works and a historical novel, for which she won the 2011 Georgia Author of the Year Award for first novel. She holds PhD and MA degrees from Emory University and a BA from Agnes Scott College. Before becoming a full-time writer, McCash was founding director of the university honors program and chair of the department of Foreign Languages at Middle Tennessee State University. She and her husband divide their time between Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and
Their tragic death on the Titanic ended the lives of this remarkable couple devoted to business, family, and philanthropy
This book traces the life of Isidor and Ida Straus, both German Jewish immigrants who arrived as children in America in the early 1850s. Isidors father, Lazarus, was an itinerate peddler in Georgia, but within one generation the family became the wealthy owners of Macys Department Store in New York. A Titanic Love Story follows the Strauses life from Talbotton, Georgia, where an anti-Semitic incident caused them to move to nearby Columbus. The devastation of Columbus at the end of the Civil War brought the family to New York, where Isidor met and eventually married the young Ida Blun. Ida and Isidor balanced the demands of business, family, and service to others and carved out their individual roles in those domains. A Titanic Love Story emphasizes their work together as a couple, focusing not only on Isidors important roles as businessman, member of congress, and philanthropist, but also on Idas contributions as an intelligent partner, the soul of the household, and matriarch of the family, as well as a stalwart supporter of her husband and one who engaged in philanthropic and creative activities of her own. The Strauses were wealthy Jews within their New York community, and as people committed to the welfare of their family, their city, their country, and those less fortunate than themselves, they dealt with their own grief, illness, and occasional brushes with anti-Semitism. Ironically, their final happy days in the south of France lead to their unexpected sailing on the Titanic. Both died as they had lived, with dignity, honor, loyalty to one another, and compassion for others. The public outpouring of grief at their deaths, even by todays standards of over-the-top journalism, was remarkable.

The First Part of King Henry the Sixth is Shakespeares first work for the stage, his first dramatic hit, and, also, his most controversial and suspect history play, a literary genre he perfected. from the vantage of his opening act its close study affords the original introduction to all the histories and the Shakespearean stage as such, as well as to his idea of time and the world generally, that is, to the Shakespearean education. In the course of this initiation there emerges a world, a stage, and, even, a Shakespeare that may increasingly seem more than a little strange to us, whether as seen through the lens of the old bardic conventions or the theories of recent academic revisions, but that are, at the same time, almost certainly more intimately familiar to the original editors of the 1623 folio, and the play itself increasingly revealed as a striking tour de force debut as fresh as the poet everyone is drawn to in the first place.

Fresh insight into the works and lives of two English Romantic writers
Near its heart, English Romanticismacross many writers acknowledges and celebrates a community that is not just secular but that derives meaning from a religious association and, in fact, a particularly defined religion, that is, Anglican Christianity. William Wordsworth and Jane Austen, premier english romantic poet and novelist, were baptized, confirmed, and buried (and for Wordsworth, married) in conformity with the Church of england. of course, Wordsworths commitment flagged in his twenties, but with marriage and responsibility came respectability and parishioner status. However, most twentieth-century critics interpret these writers works outside the Christian realities with which their lives were much imbued, except for late Wordsworthian poems from his purported decline into conservative politics and religion and evident poetic senility. Jane Austen did not live long enough to have a late decline, but critics have nonetheless overlooked her faith. It is not necessarily the surface of her writing, but Christianity is unquestionably the sea out of which her characters arise, her plots bubble up, and her themes unfold. It was her and their reality. notwithstanding this negative or blind critical precedent, Laura Dabundo highlights what most readers are conditioned to disregard, the ways in which the church saturates the writing of Wordsworth and Austen. The Church of englands liturgy has traditionally been based on Scripture, which these writers would have known. This book, then, links their faith to their works.

Georgia
A Brief History Christopher C. Meyers and David Williams
An up-to-date, balanced history of the state of Georgia

Here, for the first time is a brief, balanced, and up-to-date history of Georgia from the early native Americans to the twenty-first century. Based on the most recent research, Georgia: A Brief History surveys the people and events that shaped our states history in a style that reads easily and flows effortlessly. Beginning with the earliest native American settlements, the story tells of first contacts between area natives and Spanish from florida, British from Carolina, and James oglethorpe leading the effort to found a colony called Georgia. That colony passed out of the British empire during the American revolution, a conflict that was as much a civil war as a war for independence. In the following decades, the Creek and Cherokee were driven out as Georgia was transformed into a cotton kingdom dominated by a minority of slaveholders, who finally sought to make slavery perpetual in a war that often pitted Georgians against each other. In the aftermath of the Civil War, the state struggled with the consequences of the conflict, political, social, and economic. The postwar years were highlighted by economic stagnation, questions over the meaning of freedom, and one-party politics. race relations pervaded the states history after the Civil War until well into the twentieth century and those struggles are traced from reconstruction to Jim Crow to the Civil rights era. In the latter half of the twentieth century, and carrying into the twenty-first, Georgia drifted away from the provincialism that characterized its history and moved toward modernity.

Luigi Marco Bassani, born in Chicago, and educated mostly in Italy and in the United States, is professor of History of Political Theory at the University of Milan, Italy.

Finding Jefferson beneath the rubble of biased interpretations

Author of the Declaration of Independence, diplomat in France, leader of the opposition to the federalists in the 1790s, president of the united States from 1801 to 1809, critical conscience of the country until his death on July 4, 1826, Thomas Jefferson is the most widely studied, fascinating, and genuinely representative founding father of the entire age, a classical liberal philosopher-king that America produced in the birth throes of the republic. Bassani surveys Jeffersons views in the twofold articulationthe rights of man and states rightsthat represents the core of all his political ideas. While recent scholarship on the subject tends to portray a union devotee, nonindividualistic, antiproperty rights Jefferson, with possible communitarian, if not even protosocialist undertones, this work will do Jefferson justice. After careful examination of his political theory, the readers will recognize the third president as a champion of limited government, natural rights, and antagonism of the states towards interference by federal powers.

Democracy in Twenty-First Century America: Notes on Race, Class, Religion, and Region is an exercise in religious and political philosophy. fundamentally concerned with the racial and economic crisis of democracy in the united States, this book engages the new face of inequality in America and the new challenges presented to the American democratic project. neal claims that the racial and economic inequality of today are reflective of two Americasfirst World America and Third World Americawhich were made visible in 2005 through the catastrophic impact of Hurricane Katrina on Americas Gulf Coast. Katrinas devastation revealed social conditions that are pervasive throughout America and the South. In particular, it revealed a class of abandoned citizens who are referred to throughout this book as Americas Least Wanted. Addressing the population of one Southern state, South Carolina, this book contends that the vestiges of Americas past are now compounded with unprecedented racial and economic dilemmas. Such a state of affairs calls for reinvigorated religious and political thinking where democracy is concerned. The author turns to the thought of Benjamin elijah Mays, a religious and political thinker who contributed to the expansion of American democracy during the latter half of the twentieth century and is one resource for engaging the crisis of democracy in twenty-first-century America.

The rich history of a prominent North Carolina church

The First Baptist Church of Raleigh, North Carolina was established on March 7, 1812. Throughout two centuries of existence it has become one of the most prominent Baptist churches in north Carolina and has been a steady presence for the religious community in the city of raleigh. This book examines the rich, 200-year history of this historic congregation from its inception in 1812 to the present. More than just a simple history of a congregation, the churchs history is recounted within its context, nationally, regionally, and within the broader context of Baptist history. The contextualization of the history of first Baptist Church of raleigh makes this a unique approach of history from the bottom up rather than from the top down.

The freedom and responsibility of choice is one of the basic tenets of Baptist beliefs. Seventh Day Baptists as a part of this Baptist heritage for over 350 years have upheld and practiced that right. The decision to follow the Bible instead of ecclesiastical authority and tradition led them to accept the seventh day of the week as the Sabbath which sets them apart from other Baptists, but as Dr. Winthrop Hudson noted, Seventh Day Baptists are separate but not sectarian. A Choosing People: The History of Seventh Day Baptists documents the history of this oldest Sabbathkeeping Christian denomination within the framework of both religious and secular history from the reformation in europe to modern times in America. Mid-seventeenth-century origins amid persecution gave way to gradual decline in england but dramatic growth in America through development of associational relationships during the eighteenth century. Churches struggled to apply ideals of freedom and equality to harsh realities of the American revolution and Civil War. nineteenth-century expansion with the western frontier fostered organization of a General Conference and related societies in missionary and educational outreach despite continuing tensions between autonomy and associational ties. A mission to China lasted one hundred years and spawned global extension leading to establishment of a World federation of conferences at the same time that twentiethcentury social, scientific, organizational, ecumenical, and theological issues challenged all Christian groups. originally published in 1992, this book has been thoroughly updated to the present, this new edition brings greater accuracy and thoroughness to this engaging history of the choices, struggles, and beliefs of Seventh Day Baptists.

Fresh perspectives and inspiration from women in the pulpit

As long as there have been Baptists in America, there have been female Baptist ministers and preachers. unfortunately, some Baptist denominations have not always been kind to them. Due to theological debate, often the existence of these female ministers has been ignored, and their words have not been recorded. This book of sermons seeks to record the words, insights, and experiences of several women ministers and preachers so as not to become part of the lost generations of women who have gone before them. even when the denomination and some churches have looked unfavorably on women preachers and ministers, God has consistently called their daughters to ministry and service. It is hoped that others can be inspired by the wisdom and creativity of these women, and be challenged by fresh perspectives on biblical texts. The women who contributed sermons to this book represent a wide variety of ministerial roles and vocations. Among the writers are denominational leaders such as Carolyn Weatherford Crumpler (former executive director of Womans Missionary union and former moderator of the Cooperative Baptist fellowship), Pam Durso (executive director of Baptist Women in Ministry), and Colleen Burroughs (executive vP of Passport Camps, Inc.). College and seminary professors include Helen Lee Turner (furman university), Libby Bellinger (Baylor university) and Tracy Hartman (Baptist Theological Seminary at richmond). Pastors include Mimi Walker (Druid Hills Baptist Church, Atlanta, Georgia) and Sarah Jackson Shelton (Baptist Church of the Covenant, Birmingham, Alabama). This book is practical in its arrangement for classroom use or group readings.

Emily Chubbuck Judson (18171854) was a nationally known writer of the mid-nineteenth century. With pieces appearing alongside those by edgar Allan Poe and James fenimore Cooper, she walked in literary company second to none. She wrote childrens books, essays, and stories. During her fascinating life, she was a prolific letter writer. In 1845, she met Adoniram Judson and they married in 1846. His work in Burma (Myanmar) had made him famous as a Baptist missionary. After his death in 1850, emily returned to the States in 1851 and spent the last years of her life writing and publishing a volume of poetry, a volume of missionary stories, a memoir of her sisters who had died as young women entitled My Two Sisters and helped to produce a biography of her husband. volume 5 covers october 1, 1851September 30, 1852. This is the year that emily Judson worked with Dr. francis Wayland, president of Brown university, on preparing A Memoir of the Life and Labors of Rev. Adoniram Judson, D.D. This volume is filled with letters from prominent ministers and missionaries of that time, all of whom were involved in the mission movement, and whose lives and ministries had been greatly impacted by Adoniram Judson. There is also correspondence from the Judson children who took emily as their new Mamma. The six-volume series of The Life and Letters of Emily Chubbuck Judson is published in cooperation with the American Baptist Historical Society.

Cancer and Healing

Memoirs of Gratitude and Hope Charles W. Deweese, editor
Available in e-book format
Personal journeys of illness and faith

Cancer and Healing: Memoirs of Gratitude and Hope provides firstperson glimpses into the cancer experiences of eighteen Baptists. In fact, every person connected with this book, including the publishing director, editor, and writers, has had and/or currently has cancer. Their very lives comprise the primary resources of this work. Since more than half a million people die in the united States every year from cancer, writers included in this volume feel a strong sense of gratitude and hope. They share passionately about their own survival experiences and compassionately for those who do not survive and for those for whom the announcement of cancer may picture into their tomorrows. Autobiography, honestly written, can provide extraordinary insights into basic human achievements and dilemmas. Writings about oneself, including experiences, attitudes, and lessons, can penetrate deep into ones identity and can even expose ones vulnerabilities. While risky, such efforts at laying out the soul constitute the true stuff of a persons life situation. This book takes that risk, believing that while frank and open talk about a particular illnesscancercan get intensely personal, the purpose is to help readers deal redemptively with cancer and its treatments and side effects. These writers, male and female, white and black, live in ten states. They have suffered various cancers: carcinoma, leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, melanoma, and others, which have affected many parts of their bodies and emotions. They have not written to make money. All royalties from sales of this book will be donated to the American Cancer Society. each contributor knows the suffering related to cancer and its treatment. More importantly, each has experienced a growing appreciation for the healing power of God and biblical values as a consequence of being forced to delve into a dark and difficult world.

Melungeons
Wayne Winkler, series editor N. Brent Kennedy, founding editor
The
Sometimes called Melungeons, the earliest nonnative Americans to live in Appalachia were (perhaps) of Mediterranean extraction and of a Jewish or Muslim religious persuasion. for fear of discrimination since persons of color were often disenfranchised and abusedthe Melungeons were reticent regarding their heritage. In fact, over time, many Melungeons themselves forgot where they came from. Hence, today, Melungeons remain the last lost tribe in America, even to themselves. once lost, but now forgotten no more. This series explores the origins, history, and culture of these once-forgotten people.
