Inspired by true events, Dirt Dollars Death is a crime mystery novel about organized corruption in a rural county located in the Texas Hill Country and what happens when love, friendship, and loyalty don’t give up the search for a missing person. Missy, Clint, and Giselle arrive from Houston with plans to meet Missy’s boyfriend and then spend a long weekend touring The Three Sisters on motorcycles. They find strange behavior from the locals, and then a mysterious man gives them startling news. The little group, with its own personality dynamics, experiences most of the one-hundred-mile motorcycle route while they explore the small town of Leakey, travel across a mountain to Camp Wood, and eventually visit two other tiny communities (one not by choice). There are hostile encounters with the unfriendly locals, and then something happens, and their energies focus in a new direction that leads them to a fight for their lives. The story spans four days and includes missing people, real estate fraud, identity theft, money laundering, human and other contraband trafficking, betrayal, murder, and more perpetrated by a variety of interconnected crime syndicates as well as by individuals with their own agendas. The reader will not only ride along with the protagonists through scenic landscapes but will also see into some of the locals’ relationships and operations, all of whom will do the ultimate evil to keep their secrets safe.

Venus Over Kemah

By: Amanda Sherrill

Wendy Edwards goes on a spur-of-the-moment sail on foggy Galveston Bay with her childhood friend, Bryan McClellan, and witnesses a boater toss a body overboard. As horrified as she is, she could never have guessed where the dreadful act would lead, but Kemah, Texas, the small coastal town where she has lived since birth, is smack in the middle of it. Meanwhile, the United States is close to crumbling, and domination by a globalized government is no longer a distant threat. Already wise to the menace, homegrown FURA members are holding their seventh summit in the area. Their mission is to protect the freedoms they still have while remaining focused on their vision for a new union of states. A member's son goes missing, and Bryan, who is also a member, gets Wendy involved. Together they dive an offshore petroleum platform in the Gulf of Mexico to find answers. Things heat up after a bloody knife turns up in their boat and results in Wendy's discovery of WORE. Then she learns of an unseen international force that has been using genetic warfare and propaganda for decades in order to create a subservient mutant population. As Wendy spends her forced vacation trying to figure out who dumped the body in the bay, she wears disguises, overhears of abhorrent acts, witnesses a murder, is chased, and things blow up, battles are fought, and more. And the bodies pile up. Wendy suspects a serial killer is on the loose, and her search eventually puts her in his sights. But he's not the only one after her. Wendy does everything she can to make sense of the rash of evil, and once she sees the big picture, she realizes it's not only a matter of her own survival but of the human race and man's ability to recognize the existence of God. Inspired by reality, Venus Over Kemah may spark anger at the abominations inflicted on mankind, give a few chuckles--perhaps a few tears--share the frustrations and warmth of a blossoming love, offer encouragement, and hopefully leave you cheering.

Descendants of William Cromartie and Ruhamah Doane

By: Amanda Cook Gilbert

This ambitious work chronicles 250 years of the Cromartie family genealogical history. Included in the index of nearly fifty thousand names are the current generations, and all of those preceding, which trace ancestry to our family patriarch, William Cromartie, who was born in 1731 in Orkney, Scotland, and his second wife, Ruhamah Doane, who was born in 1745. Arriving in America in 1758, William Cromartie settled and developed a plantation on South River, a tributary of the Cape Fear near Wilmington, North Carolina. On April 2, 1766, William married Ruhamah Doane, a fifth-generation descendant of a Mayflower passenger to Plymouth, Stephen Hopkins. If Cromartie is your last name or that of one of your blood relatives, it is almost certain that you can trace your ancestry to one of the thirteen children of William Cromartie, his first wife, and Ruhamah Doane, who became the founding ancestors of our Cromartie family in America: William Jr., James, Thankful, Elizabeth, Hannah Ruhamah, Alexander, John, Margaret Nancy, Mary, Catherine, Jean, Peter Patrick, and Ann E. Cromartie. These four volumes hold an account of the descent of each of these first-generation Cromarties in America, including personal anecdotes, photographs, copies of family bibles, wills, and other historical documents. Their pages hold a personal record of our ancestors and where you belong in the Cromartie family tree.

Inquiry-Based Learning Through the Creative Arts for Teachers and Teacher Educators

By: Amanda Nicole Gulla,Molly Hamilton Sherman

This book is a theoretical and practical guide to implementing an inquiry-based approach to teaching which centers creative responses to works of art in curriculum. Guided by Maxine Greene’s philosophy of Aesthetic Education, the authors discuss the social justice implications of marginalized students having access to the arts and opportunities to find their voices through creative expression. They aim to demystify the process of inquiry-based learning through the arts for teachers and teacher educators by offering examples of lessons taught in high school classrooms and graduate level teaching methods courses. Examples of student writing and art work show how creative interactions with the arts can help learners of all ages deepen their skills as readers, writers, and thinkers.

Seduced by a Rogue

By: Amanda Scott

A fair-haired beauty at 19, Lady Mairi is heiress apparent to her father Lord Dunwythie's rich barony. He has carefully taught her how to manage their estates, but a feud between his clan and the Maxwell clan is brewing as the two families edge toward a clan war - their dispute over money owed. Mairi's father believes he owes nothing, and of course Mairi sides with him. When the impulsive and blue-eyed Rob Maxwell chances to meet Mairi in a barley field, they feel instant attraction, despite their families' antagonisms. Knowing he must put his clan first, Rob enacts a plan to force Dunwythie to pay his debt: Rob kidnaps Mairi, making the abduction appear the work of a stranger; then he and his sheriff-brother offer to help Dunwythis rescue his daughter IF, and only if, he will pay them the monies due. Yet after Rob captures Mairi's body, she captures his heart. When Dunwythie summons the aid of the most powerful clan in all Scotland (the Douglases), clan-tensions rise to a fever pitch. Love takes its own feverish course, as Mairi and Rob join forces to prevent a clash between hot-headed clans, and to protect their budding love.

Vital Statistics on American Politics

By: Jeffrey L. Bernstein,Amanda Shannon

There is no other source that provides in one place the wide range and depth of insight found in Vital Statistics on American Politics (VSAP), published since 1988. VSAP provides historical and statistical information on all aspects of American politics: Political parties Voter turnout Public opinion Campaign finance Media perspective and influence, congressional membership and voting patterns The presidency and executive branch Military policy and spending Supreme Court and federal court make-up and caseloads Foreign, social, and economic policy In over 230 tables and figures, students and professional researchers will find chapters devoted to key subject areas such as elections and political parties, public opinion and voting, the media, the three branches of U.S. government, foreign, military, social and economic policy, and much more. This book provides a vivid and multifaceted portrait of the broad spectrum of United States politics and policies. Along with updated and new data content, this edition offers brand new data literacy lessons that take a "guide on the side" approach to teach data researchers how to wade through the sea of data and do the difficult work of grappling for the meaning of the data on their own. Lessons include understanding descriptive representation data, comparing data over time, noticing gaps in data, unpacking dichotomies of public opinion, and more.

Conceived in Doubt

Religion and Politics in the New American Nation

By: Amanda Porterfield

Conceived in Doubt

Religion and Politics in the New American Nation

By: Amanda Porterfield

Americans have long acknowledged a deep connection between evangelical religion and democracy in the early days of the republic. This is a widely accepted narrative that is maintained as a matter of fact and tradition—and in spite of evangelicalism’s more authoritarian and reactionary aspects. In Conceived in Doubt, Amanda Porterfield challenges this standard interpretation of evangelicalism’s relation to democracy and describes the intertwined relationship between religion and partisan politics that emerged in the formative era of the early republic. In the 1790s, religious doubt became common in the young republic as the culture shifted from mere skepticism toward darker expressions of suspicion and fear. But by the end of that decade, Porterfield shows, economic instability, disruption of traditional forms of community, rampant ambition, and greed for land worked to undermine heady optimism about American political and religious independence. Evangelicals managed and manipulated doubt, reaching out to disenfranchised citizens as well as to those seeking political influence, blaming religious skeptics for immorality and social distress, and demanding affirmation of biblical authority as the foundation of the new American national identity. As the fledgling nation took shape, evangelicals organized aggressively, exploiting the fissures of partisan politics by offering a coherent hierarchy in which God was king and governance righteous. By laying out this narrative, Porterfield demolishes the idea that evangelical growth in the early republic was the cheerful product of enthusiasm for democracy, and she creates for us a very different narrative of influence and ideals in the young republic.

Liberal Christianity and Women's Global Activism

Liberal Christianity and Women's Global Activism

The YWCA of the USA and the Maryknoll Sisters

By: Amanda Izzo

Religiously influenced social movements tend to be characterized as products of the conservative turn in Protestant and Catholic life in the latter part of the twentieth century, with women's mobilizations centering on defense of the “traditional” family. In Liberal Christianity and Women’s Global Activism, Amanda L. Izzo argues that, contrary to this view, liberal wings of Christian churches have remained an instrumental presence in U.S. and transnational politics. Women have been at the forefront of such efforts. Focusing on the histories of two highly influential groups, the Young Women’s Christian Association of the USA, an interdenominational Protestant organization, and the Maryknoll Sisters, a Roman Catholic religious order, Izzo offers new perspectives on the contributions of these women to transnational social movements, women’s history, and religious studies, as she traces the connections between turn-of-the-century Christian women’s reform culture and liberal and left-wing religious social movements of the 1960s and 1970s. Izzo suggests that shared ethical, theological, and institutional underpinnings can transcend denominational divides, and that strategies for social change often associated with secular feminism have ties to spiritually inspired social movements.

Female Piety in Puritan New England

The Emergence of Religious Humanism

By: Amanda Porterfield

This treatise documents the claim that, for Puritan men and women alike, the ideals of selfhood were conveyed by female images. It argues that these images taught self-control, shaped pious ideals and established the standards against which the moral character of real women was measured.

Mary Lyon and the Mount Holyoke Missionaries

By: Amanda Porterfield

American women played in important part in Protestant foreign missionary work from its early days at the beginning of the nineteenth century, enabling them not only to disseminate religious principles but also to break into public life and create expanded opportunities for themselves and other women. No institution was more closely associated with women missionaries that Mount Holyoke College. This book examines Mount Holyoke founder Mary Lyon and the missionary women trained by her. Porterfield sees Lyon and her students as representative of dominant trends in American missionary thought before the Civil War. She focuses on how their activities in several parts of the world--particularly northwest Persia, Maharashtra in western India, and Natal in southeast Africa--and shows that while their primary goals remained elusive, antebellum missionary women made major contributions to cultural change and the development of new cultures.
