Abraham Lincoln and the Virtues of War

How Civil War Families Challenged and Transformed Our National Values

By: Jean E. Friedman

This study introduces a new perspective on Lincoln and the Civil War through an examination of his declaration of our national values and the subsequent interpretation of those values by families during the war. This volume is a completely new approach to Civil War history. Historians rightly regard Abraham Lincoln as a moral exemplar, a president who gave new life to the national values that defined America. While some previous studies attest to Lincoln's identification with family virtues, this is the first to link Lincoln's personal biography with actual histories of families at war. It analyzes the relationship that existed between Lincoln and these families and assesses the moral struggles that validated the families' decision for or against the conflict. Written to be accessible to students and the general reader alike, the book examines Lincoln's presidency as measured against the stories of families, North and South, that struggled with his definition of Union virtues. It looks at Lincoln's compelling case for democratic values—among them, justice, patriotism, honor, and commitment—first stated in his 1861 speech before Independence Hall. The work also uses case studies to demonstrate how virtue, as practiced in families, illuminated, contested, adapted, and even transformed his concept, giving new meaning to the "virtues of war.

Every Ending Has a New Beginning

By: Jean R. Johnson

Every Ending Has A New Beginning is a book of nine fiction short stories that were inspired by real life experiences. The book is filled with interesting, funny, shocking, chilling, touching, honest and wild stories. It will definitely ignite a familiarity to someone you know. It touches on all aspects of life-prayer, rape, child abuse, relationship drama, family drama, drugs, happiness, sadness, illness, encouragement and love. Every story shows some type of strength that these characters had to have in order to conquer their problems. The book also shows how people can get caught-up and postpone happiness and lose his or her way. Instead, they end up settling for less. It also shows how you can be in a rut, yet you can always pull yourself back up again. In addition, it shows 1) that sometimes we're just a victim or innocent bystander and unbeknownst to us trouble finds us wherever we go; 2) that we can be anything we want to be; 3) that life is what we make it; and 4) that we do have choices. Too often we make the wrong choices and no matter what Every Ending Has A New Beginning. It's up to us to change and grow. If there's no room for change, then there's no room for growth. You can expect to feel a lot of emotions. I basically stretched and twisted the truth to enhance your reading and entertainment pleasure, while making the best of my writing talent and creativity. Enjoy!

The Potter’s Son

By: Carol Jean Cooper

What would it be like to meet Jesus in real life? Twenty-first century tweens and young teenagers usually answer that question in one or two words, such as “Great!” or “Huh?” or “Who knows?” Aaron, a young Jewish boy in first-century Israel, discovers a different answer in The Potter’s Son. His journey takes him from his small fishing village south of Capernaum to Jerusalem and many places in between. He sees how different people react to Jesus’ message of love and gradually forms his own opinion.

Fear and Courage: Fourteen Writers Explore Sime~Gen

By: Jacqueline Lichtenberg,Jean Lorrah,Zoe Farris,MacLeod

Welcome to the first Sime~Gen Anthology written by the fans. This Anthology is a compilation of stories and poetry written by people who have been influenced by the published works of Jacqueline Lichtenberg and Jean Lorrah, in such a powerful way that they felt compelled to explore this universe in their own writing. Here are: Forewords, by Jacqueline Lichtenberg and Jean Lorrah "Moonlight Sonata," by Mary Lou Mendum "A Mother’s Choice," by Donna Fernstrom "Obsession," by Eliza Leahy "How Far Must I Go?", by William Long "A Journey Into Demonland," by Mary Lou Mendum and M. Alexis Pakulak "The Legend of the Creeping Need," by Zoe Farris "Be Not Afraid," by Marjorie Robbins "Running on Selyn Alone," by D.H. Aire "Blood Taint," by Katherine X. Rylien "More Than Meets the Eye," by R. K. Hageman "The Box," by Laurie Pollack "Prelude and Fugue in Four Choices," by Mary Lou Mendum "Shadows," by Zoe Farris "Vincent of the Gate," by R. K. Hageman "Destiny," by N. Eileen O’Neill "Three Milestones in the Founding of Cordona Territory," by Mary Lou Mendum "A Short Life," by Eliza ambrov Halwyn "Controller’s Dilemma," by Marjorie Robbins and K. L. Schaefer "The Gift of Alauno Light," by Andrea Alton What is Sime~Gen? For those of you who are reading this book without previous experience of this expansive universe here is a brief introduction: Sime~Gen is a series of novels written by Jacqueline Lichtenberg and Jean Lorrah. It is set in a future where humans have mutated into two subspecies. Simes, who go through a brief but dramatic change at puberty and Gens, whose change, while just as dramatic, is invisible to the naked eye. The outward sign of the Simes' change is development of tentacles on their forearms, four strong and flexible "handling" tentacles and two smaller tentacles just for selyn transfer, called "laterals." Gens produce life energy called "selyn" which Simes require once a month to live. Unfortunately, the result in obtaining this energy is usually the death of the Gen. This physical transformation happens just prior to puberty. There is no way of knowing, before that, if a person will be Sime or Gen. At the chronological beginning of the published novels by Jacqueline, and Jean, a second mutation of Sime emerges. These "channels" are able to keep Simes from Killing Gens, thus saving mankind from self-annihilation. The stories that you find here, and the published books by Jacqueline Lichtenberg and Jean Lorrah, explore the role of these new Simes, and the Gens who live side by side with them as humankind struggles to become one again. This volume was edited by Zoe Farris and Karen L. MacLeod

Cajun and Creole Music Makers

Cajun and Creole Music Makers

By: Barry Jean Ancelet

The virtual renaissance of all things Cajun and Creole has captivated enthusiasts throughout America and invigorated the culture back home. Who, just fifteen years ago, could have predicted that this regional music would become so astonishingly popular throughout the nation and the world? This new edition of a book first published in 1984 celebrates the music makers in the generation most responsible for the survival of Cajun music and zydeco and showcases many of the young performers who have emerged since them to give the music new spark. More than 100 color photographs, show them in their homes, on their front porches, and in their fields, as well as in performance at local clubs and dance halls and on festival stages. In interviews they speak directly about their lives, their music, and the vital tradition from which their rollicking music springs. Many of the legendary performers featured here--Dewey Balfa, Clifton Chenier, Nathan Abshire, Dennis McGee, Canray Fontenot, Varise Connor, Octa Clark, Lula Landry, and Inez Catalon--are no longer alive. Others from the early days continue to perform--Bois-sec Ardoin, Michael Doucet, D. L. Menard, and Zachary Richard. Their grandeur, humor, and humility are precisely the qualities this book captures. Featured too are young musicians who are taking their place in the dance halls, on festival stages, and on the folk music circuit. Cajun and Creole music makers, both young and old, still play in the old ways, but as young musicians--such as Geno Delafose and the French Rockin' Boogie, and Steve Riley and the Mamou Playboys-- experiment and enrich the tradition with new sounds of rock, country, rap, and funk, the music evolves and enlivens a whole new audience. Barry Jean Ancelet, a native French-speaking Cajun, is chair of the Department of Modern Languages and director of the Center for Acadian and Creole Folklore at the University of Southwestern Louisiana. Among his many books are Cajun Country and Cajun and Creole Folk Tales (both from the University Press of Mississippi). Elemore Morgan, Jr., is an artist and retired professor of visual art at University of Southwestern Louisiana.

Qumran: The Site of the Dead Sea Scrolls: Archaeological Interpretations and Debates

Proceedings of a Conference held at Brown University, November 17-19, 2002

By: Jean-Baptiste Humbert,Jürgen Zangenberg

Today, archaeology plays an ever growing role in Qumran studies. Fifteen papers presented in 2002 at Brown University provide the necessary data to break new ground in the recent debate about the character of Qumran. Section I discusses material from old and new excavations that help assess the validity of the traditional Qumran-Essene hypothesis. Part II discusses various aspects of the main settlement such as division of space, the character of period III, the date of the cave scroll deposits and the use of food. Part III deals with the Qumran cemetery and a similar graveyard at Khirbet Qazone. Part IV places Qumran into a wider regional context, concentrating on local agriculture and ceramic production. The articles strongly call for a new awareness for archaeological detail and, in their various ways, instigate a renewed debate about how to bring texts and material culture into a meaningful dialogue.

Cane (New Edition)

By: Jean Toomer

“A breakthrough in prose and poetical writing. . . . This book should be on all readers’ and writers’ desks and in their minds.”—Maya Angelou First published in 1923, Jean Toomer’s Cane is an innovative literary work—part drama, part poetry, part fiction—powerfully evoking black life in the South. Rich in imagery, Toomer’s impressionistic, sometimes surrealistic sketches of Southern rural and urban life are permeated by visions of smoke, sugarcane, dusk, and fire; the northern world is pictured as a harsher reality of asphalt streets. This iconic work of American literature is published with a new afterword by Rudolph Byrd of Emory University and Henry Louis Gates Jr. of Harvard University, who provide groundbreaking biographical information on Toomer, place his writing within the context of American modernism and the Harlem Renaissance, and examine his shifting claims about his own race and his pioneering critique of race as a scientific or biological concept.

Work With Me

4 Office Romances

By: Rina Gray,Ashlinn Craven,Diana Jean,Shelley K Wall

Fans of The Hating Game will love these four power couples, who discover office rivals can make surprisingly good bedfellows. It’s Been You: Marketing manager Tiana Holliday snags her dream job at an award-winning agency in New York City…but cocky playboy Nathaniel Lawson, her old grad-school nemesis, is her new officemate. When their one-on-one competition to manage a lucrative sports car account and nab a big promotion suddenly erupts into an all-out battle of desire, they just might discover that challenging each other outside the boardroom is even more satisfying than advertised. Building Mr. Darcy: Programmer Zoe Bunsen’s developing a new artificial intelligence program that looks, talks, and thinks like Mr. Darcy. Project manager Max Taggart is keeping a secret: everyone’s jobs depend on Darcy’s success. He’s determined to meet the project deadline even if that means selling out a few literary details. But when the AI starts using its emotional intelligence to build a surprising connection between them, will these two unlikely cohorts cling to their prejudices or toss pride aside and admit love is stronger than a fantasy? Tokyo Love: Kathleen Schmitt gladly moves from the Midwest to Tokyo to lead the project at Mashida INTL to develop a life-sized, hyper-realistic dating doll. American-born Yuriko is a former transplant herself and is sympathetic to adjusting to new culture—to a point. But Kathleen is about the most pathetic foreigner this engineer’s ever met. She clearly needs Yuriko’s help and expertise if this transition—and the PLC project—is to be a success. With Yuriko to show her the way, Kathleen learns to fall in love with a country so very different from her own. But can she also learn how to confess her love for the person who showed it to her? Find Me: Amanda Gillespie never bargained on seeing Jackson Holstenar after their complicated relationship ended with her being asked to leave the law firm where they worked. Now Jackson is in the weird position of trying to help Amanda become his best pal’s ideal girl. With a little help from fate, these two confused hearts might just find a way back to each other for good. Sensuality Level: Sensual

The Secret Life of the Lonely Doll

The Search for Dare Wright

By: Jean Nathan

A glamorous, haunted life unfolds in the mesmerizing biography of the woman behind a classic children's book In 1957, a children's book called The Lonely Doll was published. With its pink-and-white-checked cover and photographs featuring a wide-eyed doll, it captured the imaginations of young girls and made the author, Dare Wright, a household name. Close to forty years after its publication, the book was out of print but not forgotten. When the cover image inexplicably came to journalist Jean Nathan one afternoon, she went in search of the book-and ultimately its author. Nathan found Dare Wright living out her last days in a decrepit public hospital in Queens, New York. Over the next five years, Nathan pieced together a glamorous life. Blond, beautiful Wright had begun her career as an actress and model and then turned to fashion photography before stumbling upon her role as bestselling author. But there was a dark side to the story: a brother lost in childhood, ill-fated marriage plans, a complicated, controlling mother. Edith Stevenson Wright, herself a successful portrait painter, played such a dominant role in her daughter's life that Dare was never able to find her way into the adult world. Only through her work could she speak for herself: in her books she created the happy family she'd always yearned for, while her self-portraits betrayed an unresolved tension between sexuality and innocence, a desire to belong and painful isolation. Illustrated with stunning photographs, The Secret Life of the Lonely Doll tells the unforgettable story of a woman who, imprisoned by her childhood, sought to set herself free through art.
