The Last Word

The Hollywood Novel and the Studio System

By: Justin Gautreau

The Last Word argues that the Hollywood novel opened up space for cultural critique of the film industry at a time when the industry lacked the capacity to critique itself. While the young studio system worked tirelessly to burnish its public image in the wake of celebrity scandal, several industry insiders wrote fiction to fill in what newspapers and fan magazines left out. Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, these novels aimed to expose the invisible machinery of classical Hollywood cinema, including not only the evolving artifice of the screen but also the promotional discourse that complemented it. As likeminded filmmakers in the 1940s and 1950s gradually brought the dark side of the industry to the screen, however, the Hollywood novel found itself struggling to live up to its original promise of delivering the unfilmable. By the 1960s, desperate to remain relevant, the genre had devolved into little more than erotic fantasy of movie stars behind closed doors, perhaps the only thing the public couldn't already find elsewhere. Still, given their unique ability to speak beyond the institutional restraints of their time, these earlier works offer a window into the industry's dynamic creation and re-creation of itself in the public imagination.

Ward, Milledge and West’s High Altitude Medicine and Physiology

By: Andrew M Luks,Philip N Ainslie,Justin S Lawley,Robert C Roach,Tatum S Simonson

This pre-eminent work has developed over six editions in response to man's attempts to climb higher and higher unaided, and to spend more time at altitude for both work and recreation. Building on this established reputation, the new and highly experienced authors provide a fully revised and updated text that will help doctors continue to improve the health and safety of all people who visit, live or work in the cold, thin air of high mountains. The sixth edition remains invaluable for any doctor accompanying an expedition or advising patients on a visit to altitude, those specialising in illness and accidents in high places, and for physicians and physiologists who study our dependence on oxygen and the adaptation of the body to altitude.

The London Few and the Blueprint Menace of Chiswick

By: Justin Tully

The London Few & The Blueprint Menace Of Chiswick is the story of a group of mystery hunters being called to Chiswick in West London. The local residents have reported people as going missing, so the London Few go out into the field where they were abducted from only to find that the beings that had abducted the people have had a change of heart and given them back, but not before tagging them with the Blueprint Menace. This is just a smokescreen for while the London Few think that the beings have gone back to Outer Space they have changed tactics. They abduct and tag more than three hundred people with the Blueprint Menace. Eventually this leads to a showdown at Chiswick House with the London Few knowing that unless they can stop the beings from escaping back to Outer Space the people who have been tagged will never be in control of their own lives. Can the London Few actually stop the beings from Titan escaping from Chiswick Bridge in their spacecraft?

Sanders Hall

The Sequel to Redbridge, Vermont

By: Justin Curtis Ermer Lacche

Construction Crew Finds Possible Lost Journal of Samuel de Champlain Sanders Hall, Victorian Housing of Local College, May Unlock Vermont’s Greatest Mystery By Eve Olsdatter and Justin Walterovich West Champlain News-Times Burlington, Vermont – Find of the century or an amazing work of creative writing? Only time will tell, but all of New England is buzzing about the contents of a black leather box discovered in the foundation of a local college housing. Late last evening, the construction crew working on some foundation improvements at Sanders Hall, Victorian housing of the local college, found a journal that may have been directly written by the famed, and, for some, controversial, Samuel de Champlain – for whom Lake Champlain was named. The documents were discovered in a small dark leather chest, and remained undisturbed: Once discovered, after the foreman of the site called his aunt who works at the very college which owns Sanders Hall. “I’m proud of my veteran crew for having the presence of mind to not pass around the journal, rather to call me down right away. It speaks to their integrity and commitment to the community,” said Jamie Bourgeois, foreman of Swanton and Brothers Construction. “I called Pam (Wayne, Ph.D., Professor of New England Studies) who fortunately was still in her office after teaching the last class of the day. Dr. Wayne was on site within the hour, and eventually took custody of the find. It was at that moment Dr. Wayne said the documents were in French and had the name of Samuel de Champlain on the inside cover.” Law enforcement and college security officials were also called by the construction crew who, together, formally secured the area. Dr. Wayne, who is fluent in French, was not ready to reveal any information of the document at the time the News-Times reached her, but did make this statement: “It’s always important, when one makes a find like this, to treat the physical materials as original, while keeping a healthy skeptical mind if, in fact, the items in questions are indeed authentic,” Dr. Wayne said. “I am not prepared at this time to say these writings are authentic. There is a standard process, which is peer reviewed, to determine authenticity. I will say that the French writing is exceptionally strong and has both the authentic use of grammar and taxonomy, true to the times of the 1600s. We will partner with all the proper experts and authorities to study this find. Again, I want to salute Jamie Bourgeois and his team for nothing short of perfect execution once they made their discovery.” Dr. Wayne also confirmed that leadership of the Abenaki Tribe and First Nation and Iroquois Confederacy, respectively, have been contacted and “have already been invited” to fully and equally participate in the analysis. Governor Ruth Augustsen, who, unrelated to events at the time, was speaking near the site promoting gender equality in pay and employment opportunities, told the News-Times: “All potential archaeological and anthropological finds should be given the full breathing room in research to validate authenticity and proper context. I was very encouraged with the teamwork that I was told happened the moment these items were discovered. That collaboration, in itself, shows the true spirit of community that all Vermonters represent. Like all other citizens, I look forward to hearing what the experts determine about this recent find. It makes for an exciting summer.” The News-Times was on-site and secured pictures of the journal. The News-Times also has confirmed that the documents also included some drawings that express some of Vermont’s most fantastic legends, including, reportedly that of Champ, the famed Lake Monster of Lake Champlain. “I respect there will come a strong push both for a quick confirmation and hopes the document, if proved authentic, would address fabulous legends,” Dr. Wayne said. “We ask everyone to suspend judgement, no matter the temptation, and experts will partner together to properly render a comprehensive and complete assessment.” See – Amazing Find.

Alternate Currents

Reiki’s Circulation in the Twentieth-Century North Pacific

By: Justin B. Stein

In the second half of the twentieth century, Reiki went from an obscure therapy practiced by a few thousand Japanese and Japanese Americans to a global phenomenon. By the early twenty-first century, people in nearly every corner of the world have undergone the initiations that authorize them to channel a cosmic energy—known as Reiki—to heal body, mind, and spirit. They lay hands on themselves and others, use secret symbols and incantations to send Reiki to distant recipients, and strive to follow five precepts to cultivate their spiritual growth. Reiki’s international rise and development is due to the work of Hawayo Takata (1900–1980), a Hawai‘i-born Japanese American woman who brought Reiki out of Japan and adapted it for thousands of students in Hawai‘i and North America, shaping interconnections across the North Pacific region as well as cultural transformations over the transwar period spanning World War II. Alternate Currents: Reiki’s Circulation in the Twentieth-Century North Pacific analyzes how, from her training in Japan in the mid-1930s to her death in Iowa in 1980, Takata built a vast trans-Pacific network that connected Japanese American laborers on plantations in Hawai‘i to social elites in Tokyo, Hollywood, and New York; middle-class housewives in American suburbs; and off-the-grid tree planters in the mountains of British Columbia. Using recently uncovered archival materials and original oral histories, Justin B. Stein examines how these relationships between healer and patient, master and disciple, became deeply infused with values of their time and place and how they interplayed with Reiki’s circulation, performance, and meanings along with broader cultural shifts in the twentieth-century North Pacific. Highly readable and informative, each chapter is structured around a period in the life of Takata, the charismatic, rags-to-riches architect of the network in which Reiki spread for decades. Alternate Currents explores Reiki as an exemplary transnational spiritual therapy, demonstrating how lived practices transcend artificial distinctions between religion and medicine, and circulate in global systems while maintaining strong connections with the practices’ homeland.

Baseball's Union Association

The Short, Strange Life of a 19th-Century Major League

By: Justin Mckinney

Hastily formed in 1883 as a rival, third major league, the Union Association upset the moguls of the baseball world and disrupted the status quo. Backed by Henry V. Lucas, an impetuous 26-year-old millionaire from St. Louis, the UA existed for one chaotic season in 1884. This first full-length history of the Union Association tells the captivating story of the league's brief and enigmatic existence. Lucas recruited a wild mix of disgruntled stars, misfits, crooks, has-beens, drunks, and the occasional spectator--along with a future star or two. The result was a bizarre experiment that sowed both turmoil and hope before fading into oblivion.

The book is divided into four key parts, one for each style of question, each of which opens with an introductory section on how to approach the exam and, crucially, how to fail it. # Part 1 provides a series of short answer practice papers. Common mistakes are highlighted as well as a list of key points required to get full marks. A sample answer is given for each question # Part 2 contains a mock paper for the MCQ part of the exam, containing 225 questions with answers and helpful annotations # Part 3 introduces the EMQ, giving the reader 40 questions in the style of the examination, together with answers and explanatory notes # Part 4 is devoted to the OSCE, with descriptions of 20 sample stations assessing different aspects of clinical practice, advice on how to tackle these, and suggested marking schemes.

The Washingtons. Volume 4, Part 1

Generation Eight of the Presidential Branch

By: Justin Glenn

This is the fourth volume of Dr. Justin Glenn’s comprehensive history that traces the “Presidential line” of the Washingtons. Volume One began with the immigrant John Washington, who settled in Westmoreland Co., Va., in 1657, married Anne Pope, and became the great-grandfather of President George Washington. It continued the record of their descendants for a total of seven generations. Volume Two highlighted notable members of the next eight generations of John and Anne Washington’s descendants, including General George S. Patton, author Shelby Foote, and actor Lee Marvin. Volume Three traced the ancestry of the early Virginia members of this “Presidential Branch” back in time to the aristocracy and nobility of England and continental Europe. Volume Four resumes the family history where Volume One ended. It presents Generation Eight of the immigrant John Washington’s descendants, containing nearly 7,000 descendants. Future volumes will trace generations nine through fifteen, making a total of over 63,000 descendants. Although structured in a genealogical format for the sake of clarity, this is no bare bones genealogy but a true family history with over 1,200 detailed biographical narratives. These in turn strive to convey the greatness of the family that produced not only The Father of His Country but many others, great and humble, who struggled to build that country. Volume Four, Part One covers the descendants of the immigrant John Washington’s child Lawrence Washington. Volume Four, Part Two covers the descendants of the Immigrant’s children John Washington, Jr., and Anne (Washington) Wright.

William Perkins on Pastoral Theology

By: Justin Miller

William Perkins was a scholar, pastor, and faithful follower of Christ in a tumultuous time. He gave himself to the study of Scripture out of an abiding love for the glory of God among the people of Christ as well as for the training of future ministers in the doctrines of the faith. William Perkins’s works have greatly influenced Christendom in the centuries that have passed. He writes with a scholar’s mind and a pastor’s heart. This book examines William Perkins’s view of the biblical role of a pastor in the life of a local church in comparison and contrast to the viewpoints of the Reformers as well as others who proceeded after Perkins. The goal is to understand and evaluate William Perkins’s thought, from Holy Scripture, in light of biblical pastoral theology.

City of Second Sight

Nineteenth-Century Boston and the Making of American Visual Culture

By: Justin T. Clark

In the decades before the U.S. Civil War, the city of Boston evolved from a dilapidated, haphazardly planned, and architecturally stagnant provincial town into a booming and visually impressive metropolis. In an effort to remake Boston into the "Athens of America," neighborhoods were leveled, streets straightened, and an ambitious set of architectural ordinances enacted. However, even as residents reveled in a vibrant new landscape of landmark buildings, art galleries, parks, and bustling streets, the social and sensory upheaval of city life also gave rise to a widespread fascination with the unseen. Focusing his analysis between 1820 and 1860, Justin T. Clark traces how the effort to impose moral and social order on the city also inspired many—from Transcendentalists to clairvoyants and amateur artists—to seek out more ethereal visions of the infinite and ideal beyond the gilded paintings and glimmering storefronts. By elucidating the reciprocal influence of two of the most important developments in nineteenth-century American culture—the spectacular city and visionary culture—Clark demonstrates how the nineteenth-century city is not only the birthplace of modern spectacle but also a battleground for the freedom and autonomy of the spectator.

The Promise of Happiness

A Novel

By: Justin Cartwright

A powerful elegy to the intimacies and idiocies of family, The Promise of Happiness tells the story of an apparently ordinary family on the cusp of an extraordinary moment: the return of the family's prodigal daughter, Juliet. Her release from an upstate New York prison throws the Judds, formerly of London but now scattered, back together. For her father, Juliet's conviction for a theft she may not have committed had proven the disintegration of a dying society. For her mother, it is a source not only of resentment, but bafflement. And for all of the Judds, it is a moment of both intense joy and confusion. As Justin Cartwright's novel opens, Juliet's parents await her release and return to England. Charlie, their capable and successful son, has been charged with collecting her and softening her reentry into the world, his own life unsettled meanwhile by his glamorous girlfriend's pregnancy and his ambivalence towards it. Sophie, the youngest and most rebellious sibling, is in the midst of getting her chaotic life (mostly) under control. And Juliet herself is wounded, the perfect daughter made scapegoat for a victimless crime. With searching perception and gentle humor, Justin Cartwright gradually reveals the inner struggles of the five disparate Judds as they grapple with their conflicting feelings for each other and the moral dilemmas that beset them, bringing them finally together in what is ultimately a celebration of the layers and universal oddness of the love of a family.

Arguing with Tradition

The Language of Law in Hopi Tribal Court

By: Justin B. Richland

Arguing with Tradition is the first book to explore language and interaction within a contemporary Native American legal system. Grounded in Justin Richland’s extensive field research on the Hopi Indian Nation of northeastern Arizona—on whose appellate court he now serves as Justice Pro Tempore—this innovative work explains how Hopi notions of tradition and culture shape and are shaped by the processes of Hopi jurisprudence. Like many indigenous legal institutions across North America, the Hopi Tribal Court was created in the image of Anglo-American-style law. But Richland shows that in recent years, Hopi jurists and litigants have called for their courts to develop a jurisprudence that better reflects Hopi culture and traditions. Providing unprecedented insights into the Hopi and English courtroom interactions through which this conflict plays out, Richland argues that tensions between the language of Anglo-style law and Hopi tradition both drive Hopi jurisprudence and make it unique. Ultimately, Richland’s analyses of the language of Hopi law offer a fresh approach to the cultural politics that influence indigenous legal and governmental practices worldwide.

You are the Messiah and I should know

Why Leadership is a Myth (and probably a Heresy)

By: Justin Lewis-Anthony

Every human endeavour, from a primary school to the government, needs leadership. The Church believes itself to have a clear understanding of what constitutes Christian leadership, but advocates of leadership have been unable to give a clear, concise and universally accepted definition of the term. Justin Lewis-Anthony argues that our understanding of both secular ('managerial') and religious ('missional') leadership has been fatally compromised by the unconscious functioning of 'mythic' leadership, presented through the medium of the dominant culture of our own day, popular Hollywood film. We describe our leaders as if they should be collaborative, enabling, saints and/or expect them to show our enemies who is boss. We search for the 'great man' who will rescue us from all our problems through redemptive violence - within the Church, we talk about Jesus Christ but we expect John Wayne. This book shows how leadership is, at best, a 'contested concept' and at worst a dangerous, violent and totalitarian heresy.

Thomas Hart Benton

Thomas Hart Benton

A Life

By: Justin Wolff

Born in Missouri at the end of the nineteenth century, Thomas Hart Benton would become the most notorious and celebrated painter America had ever seen. The first artist to make the cover of Time, he was a true original: an heir to both the rollicking populism of his father's political family and the quiet life of his Appalachian grandfather. In his twenties, he would find his calling in New York, where he was drawn to memories of his small-town youth—and to visions of the American scene. By the mid-1930s, Benton's heroic murals were featured in galleries, statehouses, universities, and museums, and magazines commissioned him to report on the stories of the day. Yet even as the nation learned his name, he was often scorned by critics and political commentators, many of whom found him too nationalistic and his art too regressive. Even Jackson Pollock, his once devoted former student, would turn away from him in dramatic fashion. A boxer in his youth, Benton was quick to fight back, but the widespread backlash had an impact—and foreshadowed many of the artistic debates that would dominate the coming decades. In this definitive biography, Justin Wolff places Benton in the context of his tumultuous historical moment—as well as in the landscapes and cultural circles that inspired him. Thomas Hart Benton—with compelling insights into Benton's art, his philosophy, and his family history—rescues a great American artist from myth and hearsay, and provides an indelibly moving portrait of an influential, controversial, and often misunderstood man.

The Washingtons. General Index, L-Z

The Washingtons. General Index, L-Z

By: Justin Glenn

Published in two parts, the General Index of all Washington descendants and their spouses completes a ten-volume history that traces the “Presidential Line” of the Washington family in America. Volume one began with the immigrant John Washington who settled in Westmoreland County, Va., in 1657, married Anne Pope, and became the great-grandfather of President George Washington. It contained the record of their descendants for a total of seven generations. Subsequent volumes two through eight continued this family history for an additional eight generations, also highlighting most notable members (volume two) and tracing lines of descent from the royalty and nobility of England and continental Europe (volume three). Volume nine treated in detail the recently discovered line of William Wright (died in Franklin County, Va., ca. 1809). It also provided briefer accounts of five other Southern Wright families that have often been mentioned by researchers as close kinsmen of George Washington. ADVANCE PRAISE “At long last the Washingtons have a published history worthy of their place in history. Glenn has done a masterful job. . . . I am convinced that his work will be of wide interest to historians and academics as well as members of the Washington family itself. Although the surname Washington is perhaps the best known in American history and much has been written about the Washington family for well over a century, it is surprising that no comprehensive family history has been published. Justin M. Glenn’s The Washingtons: A Family History finally fills this void for the branch to which General and President George Washington belonged, identifying some 63,000 descendants. This is truly a family history, not a mere tabulation of names and dates, providing biographical accounts of many of the descendants of John Washington who settled in Westmoreland County, Virginia, in 1657.” — John Frederick Dorman, editor of The Virginia Genealogist (1957-2006) and author of Adventurers of Purse and Person “Decades of reviewing Civil War books have left me surprised and delighted when someone applies exhaustive diligence to a topic not readily accessible. Dr. Glenn surely meets that standard with the meticulous research that unveils the Washington family in gratifying detail—many of them Confederates of interest and importance.” — Robert K. Krick, author of The Smoothbore Volley that Doomed the Confederacy and Stonewall Jackson at Cedar Mountain

Haymarket

By: Justin Goodstein,Kenneth C. Turino,Historic New England

With Faneuil Hall opening in 1742, followed by Quincy Market in 1826, Boston's market district was born. Haymarket began as an expansion of Quincy Market in the first half of the 19th century. Over the years, Haymarket has witnessed the Central Artery rise above it in the 1950s and retreat underground almost 60 years later with the completion of the Big Dig in 2007. These obstacles have not stopped the market from serving a constant stream of students and tourists, longtime residents, and newly arrived immigrant families. For most of the 20th century, the pushcarts of Italian produce vendors lined both sides of Blackstone Street. Today's market includes halal butchers, artisanal cheese mongers, and Cambodian fruit sellers. Haymarket is open Fridays and Saturdays from dawn to dusk at the intersections of Hanover, Blackstone, and North Streets and continues to host an ever-changing and diverse population.

Art and Artisans of Meriden

By: Justin Piccirillo

Located between the urban centers of New York City and Boston, the city of Meriden, Connecticut, has been an important hub for art and artisans for over a century. The city's rich tradition of innovative design has long been acknowledged as an outstanding contribution to the larger development of American art. Many of America's leading artists have come from or lived in Meriden, including 19th-century sculptor Chauncey B. Ives, early-20th-century painter Ethel Easton Paxson, and, in more recent years, children's book author/ illustrator Tomie dePaola. Meriden's art scene blossomed with an abundance of artistic talent at the beginning of the 20th century. This convergence of artists and designers ultimately led to the creation of an artist colony. In late 1907, the Arts and Crafts Association of Meriden was formed and, to its acclaim, remains the second-oldest continuously active arts organization in the state. Today, Meriden's tradition as a center for art, design, and aesthetics continues.
