The Redemption of Professor EvelynThe Redemption of Professor Evelyn off ers both a discussion of the unseen spirit world and a parable of the supernatural as it affects one individual, Professor Horace Evelyn. Mankind, in all generations and cultures, has debated the existence of spirits and angelic beings. Weve wondered if angels and demons actually are myth or reality. A belief in evil spirits has always been inherent in the cultures of man. For example, the exterior facades of cathedrals built during medieval times incorporated gargoyles in their design in the belief that the ugly, grotesque features of their carved faces would scare away evil or unclean spirits. In contrast, angels are good spirits. Th e Creator endowed them with innate, independent life. They were given immortality. Spirits live forever, because they dont have a body to wear down, sustain damage or injury, or die. Enter Professor Horace Evelyn, who is being treated for severe schizophrenia. Professor Evelyn has not been able to fi nd a medical cure, but he soon realizes that he does not need a doctorhe needs an exorcist. His soul has become the site of a cataclysmic struggle between the forces of good and evil. Th is story is not about regaining his mental health; its about the salvation of his soul.
Throughout history there have been recorded incidents of angels visiting earth. The Archangel Gabriel is credited with the most interactions with mortals. He is written about by diverse numbers of religions and cultures throughout the ages, and his identity is unmistakable. Gabriel is The Reluctant Warrior. He is reflective, reserved and sensitive and is heaven’s leading musician and musical director. Gabriel would prefer to spend his existence leading the choirs of angels in song and celestial music. However, he must respond to the call of duty out of loyalty and obedience to God and Michael, commander of the Heavenly Host. Whenever God requires a fighting force of angels or an emissary to earth Gabriel is called to action. Although completely opposite in personality and motivation to the Archangel Michael, it is Gabriel whom God designates as Michael’s second in command and it is Gabriel who most often gets the nod when God wishes to intervene in the affairs of man. This narrative chronicles events such as Satan’s great rebellion and the expulsion of the fallen angels from heaven, Gabriel’s relationships with other angels in heaven and his frequent interactions with us on Earth. Here he writes of his role in the ongoing history of God’s creation and gives first hand reports of his experiences as God emissary to man. The Reluctant Warrior takes us through all of Gabriel the Archangel’s recorded experiences throughout history right up to his ultimate role as leader against the antichrist during the Apocalypse. The Reluctant Warrior presents the history of God’s creation from its early stages until the Second Coming through the voice of God’s most celebrated Archangel.

Representing the Holocaust is an impressive book that will have a significant impact on the way historians think about the Holocaust and the writing of history. LaCapra's precise and probing study explores the ways that the traumatic event inevitably disrupts the relationship between representation and memory. He writes from the deep conviction that whatever historians might believe, theory is indispensable for them. Indeed, his work best exemplifies the value of theory, setting a standard for historiographical reflection that is not easily matched."—Anson Rabinbach, The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art

Lucien A. Voorhees and William Mackenzie Thompson left Flemington, New Jersey, in high spirits in September 1862 as enlisted men in the 15th New Jersey Regiment to join the fight for the Union. They expected to do their duty and return home victorious in short order. On the march South Voorhees and Thompson each began a correspondence with the local newspapers back home to describe their activities as soldiers in the Army of the Potomac. Within just weeks of their departure from home they came face to face with the realities of war at the Battle of Fredericksburg. These young men proved to be great writers as well as patriots. Their letters, short or long, convey their feelings and the events they witnessed in vivid and colorful language. They soon discovered that their service would demand great sacrifice. 'True Jersey Blues' presents Voorhees' and Thompson's vivid accounts of life on the march, fierce firefights, and everyday occupations convey a true sense of the Civil War as experienced by the men enlisted to fight. The letters from Voorhees and Thompson cover the period from the muster of the 15th Regiment at Flemington (August 1862) through the combat deaths of both writers at Spotsylvania (May 1864). The soldiers tell the story of two failed Federal assaults on Fredericksburg, a race to Gettysburg, the subsequent chase after the Army of Northern Virginia, court-martials, executions, a dress parade for President Lincoln, picket duty, 'contrabands' (escaped slaves) coming into the Union lines, and the activities contrived to keep themselves busy in winter camp. These men never lost their faith in the cause they were fighting for or their love of home. Their pens went silent at Spotsylvania in the spring of 1864 where they sacrificed their lives for the cause they believed in. Here, Voorhees and Thompson tell their story of the Civil War and their fight for victory.
The Pulitzer-winning American composer Dominick Argento is known for the care with which he selects the subjects for his works and for the personal involvement that shines through his music. Each chapter of this memoir is based on a particular composition, surrounded by Argento's reflections on the period in his life when the piece was written and its opening performance. Songs about Spring stirs memories of his instructor Nicholas Nabokov (friend of Stravinsky and cousin to Vladimir), with whom he learned to drink martinis, and also of his first collaboration with Carolyn Bailey, the soprano who would later become his wife. In the chapter on Casa Guidi, the 2004 Grammy-winning piece based on letters from Elizabeth Barrett Browning to her sister Henrietta, Argento reveals that the physical Casa Guidi, where Browning lived, was a few blocks from his own apartment in Florence. Providing insight into his compositional process, he also shares the private diary he kept while composing The Voyage of Edgar Allan Poe."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
