A Season to Remember

Faith in the Midst of the Storm

By: Carson Tinker,Tommy Ford

In Tuscaloosa, Alabama the world revolves around one thing: The University of Alabama’s Crimson Tide. But on April 27, 2011 everything changed. An EF4 tornado ripped through the small college town and changed it forever. Carson Tinker, the starting long snapper for the 2011 and 2012 National Champion Crimson Tide, was among those forever changed by the events of April 27. Tinker lost his girlfriend Ashley Harrison to the storm, but not his faith. In the midst of unfathomable destruction, Tinker saw love, companionship, perseverance, and triumph in a community torn apart by a natural disaster. Where everyone else saw tragedy, Carson Tinker saw blessing. Following the storm, the Crimson Tide suited up to face their most challenging season to date. Tinker’s personal story guides readers through what cannot be described any other way than a season to remember.

The Social History of Bourbon

By: Gerald Carson

The Social History of Bourbon

By: Gerald Carson

A high-spirited history of the role bourbon has played in American life and culture, “documented and full of folklore” (Kirkus Reviews). The distinctive beverage of the Western world, bourbon is Kentucky’s illustrious gift to the nation. While much has been written about whiskey, the particular place of bourbon in the American cultural record has long awaited detailed and objective presentation. A fascinating and informative contribution to Americana, The Social History of Bourbon reflects an aspect of our national cultural identity that has been widely overlooked. Gerald Carson explores the impact of the liquor’s presence during America’s early development, as well as bourbon’s role in some of the more dramatic events in American history, including the Whiskey Rebellion, the scandals of the Whiskey Ring, and the “whiskey forts” of the fur trade. From moonshiners to the Civil War to Old West saloons and the privations of Prohibition, The Social History of Bourbon is a revealing look at the role of this classic beverage in the development of American manners and culture. “Goes into the families and personalities of bourbon’s early history and does so with humor . . . a great cause to raise a glass.” ―Rowley’s Whiskey Forge

Received in Grace

The Search for a Birth Family

By: Norman Carson

All birth records are sealed and held in perpetuity to ensure that the law of confidentiality is not breached." This response met every request made by Norman Carson as he searched for his birth family. For two years Carson persisted in his search despite being continually rebuffed. An evangelical Christian, he knew that his own adoption might illustrate the fundamental Christian doctrine of adoption in Christ. Received in Grace details Carson's childhood in his adoptive family; his search, begun when he was 62; the dead ends and byways he encountered; and the rich reward that finally became his in the birth family itself. Received in Grace describes in intimate detail his Kansas childhood, the pleasures and difficulties of being a preacher's kid, and finally the fascinating history and rich variety of personalities that he discovered in his birth family.

The Columbian Covenant: Race and the Writing of American History

By: James Carson

This provocative analysis of American historiography argues that when scholars use modern racial language to articulate past histories of race and society, they collapse different historical signs of skin color into a transhistorical and essentialist notion of race that implicates their work in the very racial categories they seek to transcend.

The Polite Americans

The Polite Americans

By: Gerald Carson

Americans have traveled a far piece since Goody Randall climbed over the back of a Bay Colony pew in defense of her social position, or a frontier Congressman tried to eat the doilies at a White House dinner, or, more recently, since the adjustable Emily Post interpreted the social law on whether a lady’s maid could appear in bobbed hair. (She could not!) With unfailing scholarship, great good humor and occasional overtones of irony when snobbery raises its ugly nose, Gerald Carson here portrays the journey of American manners through shifting tastes and customs in regards to weddings, dances, hair styles, drinking, dueling, dress, smoking, the telephone, the automobile, the rise of the country club and the history of the fraternal lodge, among hundreds of topics. There is much of special interest to citizens of Chicago, San Francisco, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New York and many other cities. There is a full chapter on manners in the nation’s capital as well as one on books of etiquette. The author’s emphasis is upon the middle class, the mainstream of America’s national life, rather than Society with the capital S. This field has been plowed a good many times, while Mr. Carson’s area is almost untouched. His central theme is the reaching out of the American man and woman for self-improvement and a life of some grace. Citizens of the United States are still free to become, as the late Professor Arthur M. Schlesinger pointed out, as unequal as they can.

Last Night's Fun

A Book About Irish Traditional Music

By: Ciaran Carson

Last Night's Fun's is a sparking celebration of music and life that is itself a literary performance of the highest order. Carson's inspired jumble of recording history, poetry, tall tales, and polemic captures the sound and vigor of a ruthlessly unsentimental music. Last Night's Fun is remarkable for its liveliness, honesty, scholarship, and spontaneous joy; certainly there has never been a book about Irish music like this one, and few books ever written anywhere about the experience of music can compare with it.

Handbook of Religion and Health

By: Harold Koenig,Dana King,Verna B. Carson

The Handbook of Religion and Health has become the seminal research text on religion, spirituality, and health, outlining a rational argument for the connection between religion and health. The Second Edition completely revises and updates the first edition. Its authors are physicians: a psychiatrist and geriatrician, a primary care physician, and a professor of nursing and specialist in mental health nursing. The Second Edition surveys the historical connections between religion and health and grapples with the distinction between the terms ''religion'' and ''spirituality'' in research and clinical practice. It reviews research on religion and mental health, as well as extensive research literature on the mind-body relationship, and develops a model to explain how religious involvement may impact physical health through the mind-body mechanisms. It also explores the direct relationships between religion and physical health, covering such topics as immune and endocrine function, heart disease, hypertension and stroke, neurological disorders, cancer, and infectious diseases; and examines the consequences of illness including chronic pain, disability, and quality of life. Finally, the Handbook reviews research methods and addresses applications to clinical practice. Theological perspectives are interwoven throughout the chapters. The Handbook is the most insightful and authoritative resource available to anyone who wants to understand the relationship between religion and health.

Economic Issues Today

Alternative Approaches

By: Robert B. Carson,Wade L. Thomas,Jason Hecht

Written in non-technical, everyday language that is accessible to the undergraduate audience, and requiring no background in economic analysis, this acclaimed text provides a unique approach to understanding what the practice of economics is all about. The authors address fourteen current economic issues, covering both micro- and macro-economics, and offer analyses and proposed solutions for each from Conservative, Liberal, and Radical perspectives. This new edition incorporates critical changes in economic policy since the last edition that affect every issue covered in the text. Tables have been updated throughout to include current economic data, and an all-new section on social policy frames the current debate about the Social Security system. The book's unique approach stimulates critical thinking on everyday issues that traditional texts either ignore or present as "settled" debates. It helps students to understand the dual role that ideology and logical/empirical argumentation play in economics. Issues are presented as stand-alone subjects that can be read in any sequence and used to supplement a wide range of principles of economics texts. An instructor's manual with a test bank and discussion questions is available to professors who adopt the text, and Power Point downloads are available as teaching aids. The text is also available in two separate volumes: Microeconomics Today and Macroeconomics Today.

American Hoops

U. S. Men's Olympic Basketball from Berlin to Beijing

By: Carson Cunningham

Those who avidly followed the on-court acrobatics and off-court celebrity of the OC Dream TeamOCO in Barcelona in 1992 would hardly recognize what passed as basketball fifty-six years earlier, when the United States first played the game in the 1936 Olympics. In those early days of menOCOs Olympic basketball, many teams lacked basic skills, games were played in the pouring rain, only seven players could suit up, and the rules allowed only two substitutions and no time-outs. How this slow, low-scoring sport became the breakneck game that enraptures millions worldwide is the story of American Hoops.In this fascinating history of Olympic basketball on the world stage and behind the scenes, Carson Cunningham presents a kaleidoscopic picture of the evolution into the twenty-first century of one of AmericaOCOs most popular sports. From clashes between celebrated egos and thrilling action on the court to the intense rivalries of the Cold War and technological advances in everything from television to sports equipment off the court, American Hoops follows the fortunes of Olympic basketball, in the United States and internationally, as it developed and emerged as one of the most challenging and entertaining sports in the world.Cunningham traces how the modifications made by the International Olympic Committee and the International Basketball Federation have transformed the game of basketball over the years, from the Berlin to the Beijing Olympics. His book offers a remarkable view of the changing world through the prism of Olympic sport.

Fallen Stars

Five American Athletes Who Died in Military Service

By: Carson Cunningham

In the spring of 2002, motivated by the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, National Football League stalwart Patrick Daniel Tillman turned down a multimillion-dollar contract to join the US Army. Two years later, he died while serving his country in the mountains of Afghanistan. In the process, he became an American icon. Inspired by Pat Tillman’s story, Fallen Stars captures the lives and times of Tillman (1976–2004) and four other war-hero American athletes: Hamilton “Ham” Fish (1873–98), Hobart “Hobey” Baker (1892–1918), Nile Kinnick (1918–43), and James Robert "Bob" Kalsu (1945–70), all of whom died while serving in the US military. Why a focus on fallen war-hero athletes, and why these five? Because here we have over a century’s worth of men who faced the fears and uncertainties that come with life and made the ultimate sacrifice. Their stories give us a kaleidoscopic picture of America over the course of more than one hundred years, and through them we can explore the wars America has participated in, the values that Americans have celebrated, and what it has meant, over time, to be an American hero.

Destiny, Love & War

By: Lee Carson

Hans Krueger is determined to find the one document that lends credibility to his heritage-his grandfather's birth certificate, believed to have been destroyed in 1918 in Sarajevo. Hans travels to that country in search of the document and barely escapes death and capture.As Hans learns of his grandfather Karl Krueger's past, he develops a profound appreciation of the older gentleman; of his past and his experiences. As a young man, Karl was swept up in the promises of Hitler and joined the Hitler Youth Movement. Several years before the War, the Whyte family from England sent their daughter, Sylvia, to live with the Krueger family. The Kruegers and Whytes, both desiring that their children experience another country, unknowingly bring two people together who will form a lifelong bond. But that bond is soon tested by the iron rule of Hitler. When World War II begins and Karl is drafted into the army, the two young lovers become enemies. Split apart, they are pitted against each other as the war destroys everything in its path. Will Karl and Sylvia be reunited or will the wounds of war be too deep to heal?Lee Carson's unique voice and perspective presents two opposite views-those wrapped up in Hitler's promises and those who were persecuted because of their birthright. The result is a masterful narration that deftly interweaves fiction based on historical fact.Lee Carson is a fulltime writer. Ms. Carson has recently finished her second novel and is writing her third. She lives in Canada. Publisher's website: http: //www.strategicpublishinggroup.com/title/DestinyLove&War.html

The Gagging of God

Christianity Confronts Pluralism

By: D. A. Carson

The Gold Medallion Award-winning book that presents a persuasive case for Christ as the only way to God in light of contemporary religious pluralism. A great majority of social commentators attempting to define modern Western culture land on a common characteristic: pluralism. This isn't unique to secular culture. Many modern approaches to Christian hermeneutics, or biblical interpretation, have given credence to contemporary pluralism. What began as a refreshing restraint and humility in modern theology has fallen more and more into irresoluteness. It's no secret that the contemporary challenges to Christianity are complex and serious. Yet, far from simple fear-mongering, or cultural warmongering, The Gagging of God takes a hard look at the background and intricacy—of pluralism, postmodernity, and hermeneutics—and equips thoughtful Christians to have intelligent, culturally sensitive, and passionate fidelity to the gospel of Jesus Christ. In his contemplative, even-handed approach, Carson provides a structure of Christian thought capable of facing the philosophies of today and piercing their surface. It invites Christians to grapple responsibly with urgent questions of biblically-grounded theology, spirituality, and the defining lines of Christianity, along with its range of challenges from without and within. The Gagging of God offers an in-depth look at the big picture, shows how the many ramifications of pluralism are all parts of a whole, and provides a systematic Christian response.

Martin's Dream

My Journey and the Legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.

By: Clayborne Carson

On August 28, 1963 hundreds of thousands of demonstrators flocked to the nation's capital for the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. It was Clayborne Carson's first demonstration. A nineteen year old black student from a working-class family in New Mexico, Carson hitched a ride to Washington. Unsure how he would return home, he was nonetheless certain that he wanted to connect with the youthful protesters and community organizers who spearheaded the freedom struggle. Decades later, Coretta Scott King selected Dr. Carson—then a history professor at Stanford University-- to edit the papers of her late husband. In this candid and engrossing memoir, he traces his evolution from political activist to activist scholar. He vividly recalls his involvement in the movement's heyday and in the subsequent turbulent period when King's visionary Dream became real for some and remained unfulfilled for others. He recounts his conversations with key African Americans of the past half century, including Black Power firebrand Stokely Carmichael and dedicated organizers such as Ella Baker and Bob Moses. His description of his long-term relationship with Coretta Scott King sheds new light on her crucial role in preserving and protecting her late husband's legacy. Written from the unique perspective of a renowned scholar, this highly readable account gives readers valuable new insights about the global significance of King's inspiring ideas and his still unfolding legacy

A Thousand White Dawns

By: Carson C. T. Collins

This is a story about six men who went to a medical college in Texas during the 1970s. It is blackly humorous and often shocking as it examines the hidden side of medical education and its effects on the lives of students and patients in a university hospital. Those who read it may never again feel quite the same about doctors. The main character has enrolled in order to avoid military service during the Vietnam War; thus, he sees medical school from the unique viewpoint of an insider who as yet has no desire to become part of the system. He soon finds himself locked in a fiercely competitive academic struggle that absorbs and eventually obsesses him. When the war ends, he is halfway through the program. No longer able to walk away, he decided to stay on. He makes a promise to himself: to retain his individuality and to never become an apologist for the establishment. In spite of this, he is gradually corrupted and becomes involved in some very questionable activities. Finally, the protagonist reaches his turning point and acts to expose a case of human experimentation whose subjectspatients on a cancer wardhave not given their informed consent. His medical career ends when he is cast out as a result of what has probably been the first moral act of his life.

. . . a great blow-by-blow account of an exciting and still-legendary scene." ---Marshall Crenshaw From the early days of John Lee Hooker to the heyday of Motown and beyond, Detroit has enjoyed a long reputation as one of the crucibles of American pop music. In Grit, Noise, and Revolution, David Carson turns the spotlight on those hard-rocking, long-haired musicians-influenced by Detroit's R&B heritage-who ultimately helped change the face of rock 'n' roll. Carson tells the story of some of the great garage-inspired, blue-collar Motor City rock 'n' roll bands that exemplified the Detroit rock sound: The MC5, Iggy Pop and the Stooges, Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels, SRC, the Bob Seger System, Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes, and Grand Funk Railroad. An indispensable guide for rock aficionados, Grit, Noise, and Revolution features stories of these groundbreaking groups and is the first book to survey Detroit music of the 1960s and 70s-a pivotal era in rock music history.
