270 East

A Novel

By: Dave Edgerton

270 EAST is a work of fiction inspired by real events, the story of a young womans wrongful conviction for murder and the efforts of a retired Federal Agent to exonerate and free her. Ray Webb was a career Foreign Service Officer, Chief Criminal Investigator for the Western Hemisphere with the Inspector Generals Office of the U.S. Agency for International Development. When Ray retires, he and his wife, Melinda, come home to rural Southeast Oklahoma. The peaceful, orderly small town where they grew up is sadly changed, its stability threatened by the methamphetamine drug trade. Ray, a deeply religious man, becomes lay pastor of a little church across the street from the courthouse, the Sheriffs Office, and the county jail. He begins to suspect that police corruption and prosecutorial misconduct have resulted in a young woman being sentenced to life in prison for a terrible crime she did not commit. Rays close, prosperous family worries that his efforts to right this apparent wrong are becoming obsessive. Melinda, and Kenny, Rays politically well-connected brother, both think that Rays stubborn determination to help this young woman arises from his failures as a father to his own troubled daughter. Ray himself believes he is acting in obedience to Gods will. Whatever his motives, Ray finds himself increasingly involved in a dangerous and ambiguous case, with criminal informants, drug-addled witnesses, a defendant who is her own worst enemy, and a local law enforcement establishment that seems determined to thwart his efforts to learn the truth.

Impulse

By: Dave Bara

With his critically acclaimed military science fiction debut series, Dave Bara launched readers on a star-spanning journey of discovery, diplomacy, and danger. Lieutenant Peter Cochrane of the Quantar Royal Navy believes he has his future clearly mapped out. It begins with his new assignment as an officer on Her Majesty’s Spaceship Starbound, a Lightship bound for deep space voyages of exploration. But everything changes when Peter is summoned to the office of his father, Grand Admiral Nathan Cochrane, and given devastating news: the death of a loved one. In a distant solar system, a mysterious and unprovoked attack upon Lightship Impulse resulted in the deaths of Peter’s former girlfriend and many of her shipmates. Now Peter's plans are torn asunder as he is transferred to a Unified Space Navy ship under foreign command, en route to an unexpected destination, and surrounded almost entirely by strangers. To top it off, his superiors have given him secret orders that might force him to become a mutineer. The crisis at hand becomes a gateway to something much more when the ship’s Historian leads Peter and his shipmates into a galaxy of the unknown -- of ancient technologies, age-old rivalries, new cultures, and unexpected romance. It’s an overwhelming responsibility for Peter, and one false step could plunge humanity into an apocalyptic interstellar war….

The Haunted Refrigerator

Bifurcated Proceedings

By: Dave Veith

“What happened, Unca Dave?” Young people today deserve an answer. To restate our hypothesis: on November 4 1953, Theodore F. Schism climbed into his mother’s defrosting refrigerator and shut the door. He was 9 years old. The first book of his story was appropriately called In. Now comes the middle, the “unloved child,” and yet its pages introduce the villain of the piece, a role which by definition is far more interesting than that of any so-called hero. As for getting ... out? Young Theo might succeed, or maybe not. Looked at in that way, his is the only hope we have. So start with In, or don’t and take your chances. Bifurcated Proceedings are just that, a lucky break for all of us, so how bad can it be? And if you need fortification, you can always Hoist a Few Cold Ones: Book Three.

The Birth of Downtown Cleveland

A Vision Interrupted

By: Dave Ford,Brad Schwartz

The 1903 Group Plan for Cleveland's downtown laid out a vision of Neoclassical splendor, an open civic area filled with grand fountains, graceful sculptures and formal gardens. Like most projects of its kind, it was supposed to take only one generation to complete. But the path to prosperity and beauty did not run smoothly. The plan suffered delays and setbacks from all sides, thanks to two world wars, the Great Depression, human folly and politics. Today, the Group Plan Commission continues to develop the focal point of the original 1903 project, and as people move back into downtown, the city is poised to finally bring this vision to fruition. Presenting previously unpublished historic photographs, authors Brad Schwartz and Dave Ford detail a story more than a century in the making.

How White Evangelicals Think

The Psychology of White Conservative Christians

By: Dave Verhaagen

The majority of Americans have looked on in some combination of horror and befuddlement as many white Christians, particularly evangelicals, have revealed beliefs and opinions seemingly antithetical to the Christian faith, whether holding racist attitudes, supporting conspiracy theories, aligning with nationalistic and authoritarian movements, or becoming hostile toward the different and marginalized. Dr. Dave Verhaagen, a nationally board-certified psychologist and author, tackles the challenge of explaining the psychology behind what has become the unique mind of the modern white Christian. Each chapter explores one or more robust psychological principles that help make sense of why white Christians think like they do.

An Evolving Tradition

The Child Ballads in Modern Folk and Rock Music

By: Dave Thompson

The Child Ballads are a series of over 300 traditional ballads from England and Scotland that, along with their American variants, were anthologized by folklorist Francis James Child in the nineteenth century. An Evolving Tradition is the story of the Child Ballads—the world’s best-known and most highly regarded repository of traditional English folk songs, and the wellspring for approximately 10,000 recordings over the last century, from obscure musicological archives to classic releases from Bob Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel, and Led Zeppelin. Drawing on interviews with numerous scholars and musicians, author Dave Thompson explains what a ballad is, outlines their dominant themes, and recounts how these ballads survived to become a mainstay of field recordings made by Cecil Sharp, Alan Lomax, and others as they traveled the English and American countryside in search of old songs. Thompson traverses the entire spectrum of rock, pop, folk, roots, experimental music, industrial, and goth to reveal the remarkable legacy and incalculable influence of the Child Ballads on all manner of modern music.

My Home Team

A Sportswriter's Life and the Redemptive Power of Small-Town Girls Basketball

By: Dave Kindred

In this poignant memoir, a legendary sports journalist writes about the team that changed his life: the Morton High School Lady Potters basketball team. Dave Kindred has covered dozens of Super Bowls and written about stars like Muhammad Ali, Tiger Woods, and Michael Jordan. But a high-school girls basketball team—the Lady Potters of Morton, Illinois—stands apart from the rest. In this moving and intimate story, Kindred writes about his rise to professional success and the changes that brought him back to his hometown late in life. As he dealt with personal hardship, his urge to write sustained him. For years, he has recapped the games of the Lady Potters, including their many runs to state championships. He attended game after game, sitting in the stands and making notes, paid nothing but Milk Duds. And the team and their community were there for him as he lost a grandson to addiction and his wife to long-term illness. Tender and honest, Kindred’s story reminds readers what sports are really about. He trades in the exhausting spectacle of Super Bowl Sunday for the joy of togetherness, the fire of competition, and the inexhaustible hope for victory tomorrow.

US Destroyers 1934–45

Pre-war classes

By: Dave McComb

Since the beginning of the 20th century, destroyers have been all-purpose ships, indispensable in roles large and small – from delivering the mail at sea to screening other vessels and, where larger ships were not present, forming the front line in battle. This title details the 169 ships of ten classes introduced in the 1930s: early 1,500-tonners and 1,850-ton destroyer leaders designed to conform to the 1930 London Naval Treaty, plus the successor 1,570-ton Sims class and 1,620and 1,630-ton Benson and Gleaves classes. In wartime, most 1,500-tonners and leaders initially saw front line duty in the Pacific but were relegated to secondary assignments as newer vessels arrived; while the later 1,620and 1,630-tonners became the standard destroyers of the Atlantic War. This volume reveals the fascinating design story behind these pioneering classes – from the constraints of peacetime treaties to advances in propulsion engineering, and wartime modifications. With an operational overview of their service and tables listing all ships by class, builder, and initial squadron, this is the definitive guide to the pre-war US destroyer classes.

Introducing Ethics

A Graphic Guide

By: Chris Garratt,Dave Robinson

What is the place of individual choice and consequence in a post-Holocaust world of continuing genocidal ethnic cleansing? Is "identity" now a last-ditch cultural defence of ethnic nationalisms and competing fundamentalisms? In a climate of instant information, free markets and possible ecological disaster, how do we define "rights", self-interest and civic duties? What are the acceptable limits of scientific investigation and genetic engineering, the rights and wrongs of animal rights, euthanasia and civil disobedience?"Introducing Ethics" confronts these dilemmas, tracing the arguments of the great moral thinkers, including Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Hobbes and Kant, and brings us up to date with postmodern critics.

Cobra

A Life of Baseball and Brotherhood

By: Dave Parker,Dave Jordan

“For that period of time, he was the greatest player of my generation.”—Keith Hernandez Dave Parker was one of the biggest and most badass baseball players of the late twentieth century. He stood at six foot five and weighed 235 pounds. He was a seven-time All-Star, a two-time batting champion, a frequent Gold Glove winner, the 1978 National League MVP, and a World Series champion with both the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Oakland A’s. Here the great Dave Parker delivers his wild and long-awaited autobiography—an authoritative account of Black baseball during its heyday as seen through the eyes of none other than the Cobra. From his earliest professional days learning the game from such baseball legends as Pie Traynor and Roberto Clemente to his later years mentoring younger talents like Eric Davis and Barry Larkin, Cobra is the story of a Black athlete making his way through the game during a time of major social and cultural transformation. From the racially integrated playing fields of his high school days to the cookie-cutter cathedrals of his prime alongside all the midseason and late-night theatrics that accompany an athlete’s life on the road–Parker offers readers a glimpse of all that and everything in between. Everything. Parker recounts the triumphant victories and the heart-breaking defeats, both on and off the field. He shares the lessons and experiences of reaching the absolute pinnacle of professional athletics, the celebrations with his sports siblings who also got a taste of the thrills, as well as his beloved baseball brothers whom the game left behind. Parker recalls the complicated politics of spring training, recounts the early stages of the free agency era, revisits the notorious 1985 drug trials, and pays tribute to the enduring power of relationships between players at the deepest and highest levels of the sport. With comments at the start of each chapter by other baseball legends such as Pete Rose, Dave Winfield, Willie Randolph, and many more, Parker tells an epic tale of friendship, success, indulgence, and redemption, but most of all, family. Cobra is the unforgettable story of a million-dollar athlete just before baseball became a billion-dollar game.

Ivy League Killers

By: Dave Cherry

Advance Praise for Ivy League Killers Cherry takes readers on a chilling ride as he plants intrigue in all the right places . . . If a rapist, murderer, or sex trafficker is hell-bent on a life of crime, is it injudicious to stop that person ? Young couple Emily and Tom don’t think so, and neither does the secret society that backs them in their pursuits. This anonymous network is composed of likeminded individuals who know that the police are insufficient in stopping these transgressors. Judges are paid off and criminals fall through the cracks. Some readers might squirm at the morality implied in such acts. But Cherry doesn’t declare a conclusive stance on the subject. He will, however, nudge your conscience to disturbing degrees where you might find yourself rooting for the eliminators. . . . [Ivy League] Killers answers many questions Harms [Done to Others] readers didn’t even know they had. Either story can be read first, however, thanks to Cherry’s literary dexterity. —Valerie Brooks is a writer, editor, and book reviewer and the owner of www.TheWriteEdit.com The novel can sometimes be playfully cynical, offsetting the characters’ lethal occupation . . . [AJfter a hit, Emily lovingly tells Tom, “Well done sweetheart. “ The tone, however, is generally earnest, and the back stories for the co-leads provide credible, sympathetic reasons for why they would commit murder. . . Cherry bolsters his tale with a bit of mystery . . . later chapters add suspense when the stakes escalate . . . Killers for hire make a surprisingly charming couple in this straightforward thriller. —Kirkus Reviews

The Color of Law

Ernie Goodman, Detroit, and the Struggle for Labor and Civil Rights

By: Steve Babson,Dave Riddle

Biography of Ernie Goodman, a Detroit lawyer and political activist who played a key role in social justice cases. In a working life that spanned half a century, Ernie Goodman was one of the nation's preeminent defense attorneys for workers and the militant poor. His remarkable career put him at the center of the struggle for social justice in the twentieth century, from the sit-down strikes of the 1930s to the Red Scare of the 1950s to the freedom struggles, anti-war demonstrations, and ghetto rebellions of the 1960s and 1970s. The Color of Law: Ernie Goodman, Detroit, and the Struggle for Labor and Civil Rights traces Goodman's journey through these tumultuous events and highlights the many moments when changing perceptions of social justice clashed with legal precedent. Authors Steve Babson, Dave Riddle, and David Elsila tell Goodman's life story, beginning with his formative years as the son of immigrant parents in Detroit's Jewish ghetto, to his early ambitions as a corporate lawyer, and his conversion to socialism and labor law during the Great Depression. From Detroit to Mississippi, Goodman saw police and other officials giving the "color of law" to actions that stifled freedom of speech and nullified the rights of workers and minorities. The authors highlight Goodman's landmark cases in defense of labor and civil rights and examine the complex relationships he developed along the way with individuals like Supreme Court Justice and former Michigan governor Frank Murphy, UAW president Walter Reuther, Detroit mayor Coleman Young, and congressman George Crockett. Drawing from a rich collection of letters, oral histories, court records, and press accounts, the authors re-create the compelling story of Goodman's life. The Color of Law demonstrates that the abuse of power is non-partisan and that individuals who oppose injustice can change the course of events.

A series of resources & complete liturgies for the major services of Holy Week, by a former Sacristan of Iona Abbey.

Preaching Hebrews

Preaching Hebrews

By: David Fleer,Dave Bland

The Rochester College Sermon Seminar and the series of books it has inspired have been built on the conviction that Christian preaching today needs revision. Such reforming begins with a close and faithful reading of Scripture, an engagement so serious that the world of Scripture ultimately sets agendas and invents expectations for meaningful life...In this present volume, too, we wish to grant the book of Hebrews the opportunity to pull all of us into the world it envisions, allowing it the power to judge, convict, and form us into a community God desires. This is not an easy task for several reasons, most notably the fact that the world of Hebrews is quite alien from our own...Like previous volumes in the Rochester Lectures on Preaching, the current work is divided into two parts. The first is a collection of four related essays meant to orient the reader to the world clearly conceived in Hebrews. The second half appropriates this orientation with sermons for particular Christian congregations. - Excerpts from David Fleer's Introduction
