Before Lewis and Clark

The Story of the Chouteaus, the French Dynasty That Ruled America's Frontier

By: Shirley Christian

Before Lewis and Clark relates the extraordinary saga of the Chouteaus, the dynastic family that guarded the gates to the West for three generations. From their St. Louis base, the Chouteaus, patrician and French in their origins, made their fortunes along the two-thousand-mile length of the Missouri River. Led by the brothers Auguste and Pierre, the family not only engaged in land speculation, finance, and the fur trade but also acted as suppliers and advisers to expeditions and enterprises between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains?including the famous expedition of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark from 1804 to 1806. This is the story of the Old World meeting the New, of the eastern United States discovering the West, and of a wealthy, powerful, charming, and manipulative family that dominated business and politics in the Louisiana Purchase territory before and after the Lewis and Clark expedition.

The art of draping

Practical book

By: Nils-Christian Ihlen-Hansen

Fashion Draping methods ad techniques. Thanks to Nils-Christian Ihlen-Hansen’s experience as a renowned pattern-drafter, this book tackles the difficult technique of the draped clothing in the Western culture of fashion. Transparency games and fabrics moving over the body play key roles in this subtle exercise. Draping transforms a garment into a work of art and makes pattern drafting noble through cutting techniques, choices of prestigious fabrics and dexterous manipulations. This exercise in style has always been preferred and used by the top names in fashion. ABOUT THE AUTHOR In this book, Nils-Christian Ihlen-Hansen introduced his ground-breaking universe through his technique and his personal creation of the six kinds of draping techniques which associate fluidity and graphics, just like the great figures who preceded him. A true invitation to travel can be found, since he reveals that creativity inspired by Art is out of time and space, and that it breaks free from identity, stigmatizing labels and appearances.

Colonial Mississippi

A Borrowed Land

By: Christian Pinnen,Charles Weeks

Colonial Mississippi: A Borrowed Land offers the first composite of histories from the entire colonial period in the land now called Mississippi. Christian Pinnen and Charles Weeks reveal stories spanning over three hundred years and featuring a diverse array of individuals and peoples from America, Europe, and Africa. The authors focus on the encounters among these peoples, good and bad, and the lasting impacts on the region. The eighteenth century receives much-deserved attention from Pinnen and Weeks as they focus on the trials and tribulations of Mississippi as a colony, especially along the Gulf Coast and in the Natchez country. The authors tell the story of a land borrowed from its original inhabitants and never returned. They make clear how a remarkable diversity characterized the state throughout its early history. Early encounters and initial contacts involved primarily Native Americans and Spaniards in the first half of the sixteenth century following the expeditions of Columbus and others to the large region of the Gulf of Mexico. More sustained interaction began with the arrival of the French to the region and the establishment of a French post on Biloxi Bay at the end of the seventeenth century. Such exchanges continued through the eighteenth century with the British, and then again the Spanish until the creation of the territory of Mississippi in 1798 and then two states, Mississippi in 1817 and Alabama in 1819. Though readers may know the bare bones of this history, the dates, and names, this is the first book to reveal the complexity of the story in full, to dig deep into a varied and complicated tale.

Complexion of Empire in Natchez

Complexion of Empire in Natchez

Race and Slavery in the Mississippi Borderlands

By: Christian Pinnen

In Complexion of Empire in Natchez, Christian Pinnen examines slavery in the colonial South, using a variety of legal records and archival documents to investigate how bound labor contributed to the establishment and subsequent control of imperial outposts in colonial North America. He examines the dynamic and multifaceted development of slavery in the colonial South and reconstructs the relationships among aspiring enslavers, natives, struggling colonial administrators, and African laborers, as well as the links between slavery and the westward expansion of the American Republic. By placing Natchez at the focal point, this book reveals the unexplored tensions among the enslaved, enslavers, and empires across the plantation complex. Most important, Complexion of Empire in Natchez highlights the effect that different conceptions of racial complexions had on the establishment of plantations and how competing ideas about race strongly influenced the governance of plantation colonies. The location of the Natchez District enables a unique study of British, Spanish, and American legal systems, how enslaved people and natives navigated them, and the consequences of imperial shifts in a small liminal space. The differing—and competing—conceptions of racial complexion in the lower Mississippi Valley would strongly influence the governance of plantation colonies and the hierarchies of race in colonial Natchez. Complexion of Empire in Natchez thus broadens the historical discourse on slavery’s development by including the lower Mississippi Valley as a site of inquiry.

An Empire of Laws

Legal Pluralism in British Colonial Policy

By: Christian R. Burset

A compelling reexamination of how Britain used law to shape its empire For many years, Britain tried to impose its own laws on the peoples it conquered, and English common law usually followed the Union Jack. But the common law became less common after Britain emerged from the Seven Years' War (1754-63) as the world's most powerful empire. At that point, imperial policymakers adopted a strategy of legal pluralism: some colonies remained under English law, while others, including parts of India and former French territories in North America, retained much of their previous legal regimes. As legal historian Christian R. Burset argues, determining how much English law a colony received depended on what kind of colony Britain wanted to create. Policymakers thought English law could turn any territory into an anglicized, commercial colony; legal pluralism, in contrast, would ensure a colony's economic and political subordination. Britain's turn to legal pluralism thus reflected the victory of a new vision of empire--authoritarian, extractive, and tolerant--over more assimilationist and egalitarian alternatives. Among other implications, this helps explain American colonists' reverence for the common law: it expressed and preserved their equal status in the empire. This book, the first empire-wide overview of law as an instrument of policy in the eighteenth-century British Empire, offers an imaginative rethinking of the relationship between tolerance and empire.

Listening to the Welfare State

By: Michael Seltzer,Christian Kullberg,Ilmari Rostila

Listening to the Welfare State presents, for the first time in English, central research findings from recent studies of the welfare systems of Denmark, Norway, Finland and Sweden. The book’s contributors are leading investigators of face-to-face encounters between welfare professionals and clients in these systems. All have collected their data through ethnographic observations as well as taped recordings of these meetings. By subjecting their data to conversation and discourse analyses, these researchers provide a richly detailed empirical picture of the various forms of talk-at-work constituting the core activity of a variety of street-level bureaucracies. Their findings provide a well-rounded body of knowledge about what happens when professionals meet persons seeking financial assistance, child protection, employment, vocational counselling, treatment, rehabilitation and related services. Essential reading for both professional and students, this book will provide a wealth of insights into and understandings of, the micro-level workings of welfare state systems.

Connecting the Dots

From Prophecy to Messiah

By: Mary Christian

God lovingly gave his Word to inform us of his plan. God, the absolute author, wrote his love letter to humankind with many hands and many quills. He eloquently wrote the past and the future using metaphor, simile, personification, and antithesis. His book is history, geography, muniment, ancestry, biography, drama, romance, mystery, and instruction. In Connecting the Dots, a collection of devotionals weaves together Old Testament prophecy and New Testament fulfillment of prophecy concerning our Messiah and Redeemer. These devotionals highlight the important last-minute instructions from Jesus to the group of men he chose to take the gospel to the world. These are lessons taken from the Last Supper, the Garden of Gethsemane, and the crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension of Christ. Every detail of these lessons is pertinent to Christians who are committed to the Great Commission, and it challenges today’s believers concerning our responsibilities as disciples. The Holy Spirit of God, who was present at the creation and the immaculate conception of Jesus, not only lives in the hearts of those redeemed but also lives in the words of God’s book. It is He who quickens alive this Word in our hearts as we read and experience weeping turning to laughter, and conviction turning to joy.

The Third Tree

The Third Tree

By: Craig Christian

There are two creations mentioned in God's word: the first described in the book of Genesis, and the second being the natural world all around us. What is man's relationship to these creations, and how do these relate to the Creator? There are two trees in the Garden of Eden: The Tree of Life, and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. What were their purposes then and now? Examine the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation with Craig Christian, as he embarks with readers on a journey of discovery that reveals a third and final tree that connects many of the mysterious dots that we have all wondered about. Pairing humor with deep and fresh perspectives on creation, the fall, and salvation, readers will gain a greater understanding of the perfection of God, man's inseverable ties to creation, and awe-inspiring evidence that no detail of creation was ever completed outside of the Creator's purpose. Above all, The Third Tree contrasts God's ways with man's ways directly and simply, while demonstrating the consistency of his eternal word. When we broaden our understanding of God's perfection as expressed through his creation, and the manner in which salvation has been provided, we can only be awestruck. We can only give him glory and praise. This book will sharpen your vision and appreciation for God, his creation, and the salvation he freely offers to all.
