Subzero temperatures, whiteout blizzards, and even the lack of restrooms didn’t deter them. Nor did sneers, harassment, and threats. Wildcat Women is the first book to document the life and labor of pioneering women in the oil fields of Alaska’s North Slope. It profiles fourteen women who worked in the fields, telling a little-known history of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline. These trailblazers conquered their fears to face hazardous working and living conditions, performing and excelling at “a man’s job in a man’s world.” They faced down challenges on and off the job: they drove buses over ice roads through snowstorms; wrestled with massive pipes; and operated dangerous valves that put their lives literally in their hands; they also fought union hall red tape, challenged discriminatory practices, and fought for equal pay—and sometimes won. The women talk about the roads that brought them to this unusual career, where they often gave up comfort and convenience and felt isolated and alienated. They also tell of the lifelong friendships and sense of family that bonded these unlikely wildcats. The physical and emotional hardship detailed in these stories exemplifies their courage, tenacity, resilience, and leadership, and shows how their fight for recognition and respect benefited woman workers everywhere.
My Life Now and Then. Carla is influenced by the early impression of prayer and the written word. Looking back in time, she believes something providential occurred during the innocence of her childhood that seemed to cement unknowingly, a legacy of rich faith. Somehow through the indwelling Holy Spirit into the reservoir of her soul. Subsequently, with time, it was awakened to action as the inevitable—youthful folly, infidelity, divorce brokenness, unforgiveness, and various atrocities assailed the trials of her life. Carla turned to discover the one tool that was hidden and somehow rose to prowess and challenged the warfare of uncertainty. This tool has landed her safely and secured like an orchid that is washed, tossed, and strewn on the sand tides of life yet filled with miracles. Surprisingly, on the sand tides of her life experiences, she discovered her calling. Though, frightened by the call, she answered for service! Now on the journey to serve, she realize that she was inspired from a place of concern for fellow travelers on the trail of life. With her glass half full, Carla hopes her work in this print will be like a lighthouse that is fully wicked to emit light and navigate each reader to the path that liberates through her presence on each page. Amazing grace!

Who originally authored the anonymous, undated French manuscript Traité d'accompagnement et de composition? Carla E. Williams tackles this mystery while providing the first English translation of this rare manuscript, which resides in the collections of the Lilly Library at Indiana University Bloomington. A Case for Charpentier presents a side-by-side transcription and translation of the treatise along with an introduction that offers historical context. In the manuscript itself, late 17th-century and early 18th-century writers discuss principal musical elements of composition including major and minor modes, the fundamental chords of both modes, dissonances and consonances, meter, tempo, and continuo realization, as well as basse continue. While these writers have not been formally identified, Williams argues that the handwriting of one is that of composer Marc-Antoine Charpentier. By providing a full physical description of the manuscript, along with comparisons of Charpentier's other writings and his handwriting, Williams sheds new light on both the treatise and Charpentier's theoretical writings. With this translation, Williams not only shares invaluable insights into the pedagogical approaches for composition and continuo realization in late 17th-century France but also finally makes Traité d'accompagnement et de composition available to a broader audience.

The essence of a Cult, or as the French say, eau de Cult, reminds us that the church should permeate with the fragrance of Christ. This book reveals how many slanderously labeled the first church a cult because of their love for one another. How can the church today recapture the love that filled the New Testament church? Within these pages you will find the keys to a fresh, pure, and amazing love that Jesus has in store for his people. Speaking from their experiences as a pastor and his wife, the authors share how they found this type of fellowship costly, but worth the price. To love as Jesus loved means that your church, like the first church, may find itself falsely labeled a cult. To the one we are the smell of death; to the other, the fragrance of life.p.2 Corinthians 2:16a
A unique survey of photography from its origins until now From a delivery boy to one of the most important industrialists in American history, George Eastman's career developed in a particularly American way. The founder of Kodak died in 1932, and left in his will his house to the University of Rochester. Since 1949 the site has operated as an international museum of photography and film, and today holds the largest collection of its kind in the world. The continually expanding photography collection contains over 400,000 images and negatives - among them the work of Alfred Stieglitz, Edward Steichen, Ansel Adams and others - as well as 23,000 cinema films, 5 million film stills, one of the most important silent film collections, technical equipment and a library with 40,000 books on photography and film. The George Eastman House is a pilgrimage site and a place of worship for researchers, photographers and collectors from all over the world. This volume shows in chronological order the most impressive images and the most important developments in the art of light that is photography. It offers in its huge collection and themes a unique survey of the medium from its origins until now.
From Hans Bellmer's grotesquely assembled poupée seductresses in the 1930s-40s to Todd Haynes's 1987 banned masterpiece "Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story" told with Barbie dolls, artists have frequently turned to the seeming benignity of childhood toys in order to explore the darker realities of adult behavior and desire. For Winter in America, Hank Willis Thomas and collaborator Kambui Olujimi use the dolls Thomas and Willis played with as children, carefully stored for years in a friend's basement. Yet these toys are no longer fantasy objects; Thomas and Olujimi are able to create a gripping tableau because in their attention to detail they achieve such unnerving authenticity."-- from the afterword by Carla WilliamsChallenging and thought-provoking, the photographs in Winter in America are taken from the video collaboration of the same name, a stop-motion animation short film based on the murder of Songha Thomas Willis, who was killed outside of Club Evolutions in Philadelphia on February 2, 2000. Both elements enlist G.I. Joe action figures that the artists once used to create similar violent narratives as children. The packaging for the action figures reads, "for children ages 5+," even though they all come with guns. Through this project the artists examine the breeding of a culture of violence in young boys, who are invited to author violent scenarios before they can even read.
