I Prayed You Into Life is an insight into a young woman's quest to find true love; first with Christ and then with a future spouse. Follow her journey which began from spiritual growth and dedication to only be wed to the man God has created for her to marry. What started as a blind date became the most prayerful love story between two people striving to live their lives in accord to God's will for them. Although separated because of the young man's military obligations, their love persevered through letters and more importantly through prayer and careful discernment. They were separated in the physical sense, but the centrality of their relationship was ever present in their hearts. All are invited to their wedding, adventures, sacrifices, heartaches and sorrows which are inevitable to all young married couples. Yet they believe through their many adversities, Christ is ever present in the fairytale He lovingly bestowed upon them; a fairytale unlike any found in children's books.

Lucretius on Creation and Evolution

A Commentary on De Rerum Natura, Book Five, Lines 772-1104

By: Gordon Lindsay Campbell

Lucretius' account of the origin of life, the origin of species, and human prehistory is the longest and most detailed account extant from the ancient world. It gives an anti-teleological mechanistic theory of zoogony and the origin of species that does away with the need for any divine aidor design in the process, and accordingly it has been seen as a forerunner of Darwin's theory of evolution. This commentary locates Lucretius in both the ancient and modern contexts, and treats Lucretius' ideas as very much alive rather than as historical concepts. The recent revival of creationismmakes this study particularly relevant to contemporary debate, and indeed, many of the central questions posed by creationists are those Lucretius attempts to answer.

City of Forests, City of Farms

Sustainability Planning for New York City’s Nature

By: Lindsay K. Campbell

City of Forests, City of Farms is a history of recent urban forestry and agriculture policy and programs in New York City. Centered on the 2007 initiative PlaNYC, this account tracks the development of policies that increased sustainability efforts in the city and dedicated more than $400 million dollars to trees via the MillionTreesNYC campaign. Lindsay K. Campbell uses PlaNYC to consider how and why nature is constructed in New York City. Campbell regards sustainability planning as a process that unfolds through the strategic interplay of actors, the deployment of different narrative frames, and the mobilizing and manipulation of the physical environment, which affects nonhuman animals and plants as well as the city's residents. Campbell zeroes in on a core omission in PlaNYC's original conception and funding: Despite NYC having a long tradition of community gardening, particularly since the fiscal crisis of the 1970s, the plan contained no mention of community gardens or urban farms. Campbell charts the change of course that resulted from burgeoning public interest in urban agriculture and local food systems. She shows how civic groups and elected officials crafted a series of visions and plans for local food systems that informed the 2011 update to PlaNYC. City of Forests, City of Farms is a valuable tool that allows us to understand and disentangle the political decisions, popular narratives, and physical practices that shape city greening in New York City and elsewhere.

Murder, Riot and Crime in Argyll

Now Prisoner Within

Murder, Riot and Crime in Argyll

By: Lindsay Campbell

Don’t draw your dirk in old Argyll - The Fiscal’s watching! Twelve previously untold stories of violent crime, riot, theft, psychopathy and fraud. Argyll in the early 18th century was a place of improving industry, stabilising economy and hard working farmers, fishermen and town dwellers. But behind the respectable facade of the county towns, and hidden among the damp green hills, crime was rife. Now Prisoner Within exposes the criminal activities that were taking place from Campbeltown to Keil, Tobermory to Dalmally, and beyond. Supported by original documentary research and on-site work among the hills, fields and ruined cottages, each chapter describes the background to the crime, the social patterns of life in the district and the county towns, and the legal system which invariably brought the criminals to book. The myriad of witness statements are untangled, lost locations found, old escape routes traced and motives behind the actions of some of the criminals are studied. One crime is possibly solved over 300 years after it occurred, and the anomaly in the midst of another is explained. In other chapters islanders rebel against mainland rule, inebriated gentry brawl, a son kills his father, and town burgesses show their true colours. These stories of the law enforcers and law breakers whose lives crossed in the courtrooms of old Argyll have largely disappeared into history, but the crimes detailed in Now Prisoner Within, bring perpetrators, prosecutors, victims and communities back into focus, describing true tales of axe and alcohol, pistol and poison - and one particular criminal who managed to skip the embrace of the gallows rope.

Blood and Battery

Murder, Riot and Theft in Old Argyll

By: LINDSAY. CAMPBELL

Argyll in the late 1700s wasn't so different to modern day. In this truly historic county, criminals of old walked the same canal path we do, stood on the same doorsteps, travelled the same ferry routes and looked on the same hills as they died that we look on today. The walls which held the criminals still stand, the legal system, which prosecuted them is recognisable, even the names reverberate into modern Argyll. But from the hills of Ardnamurchan and the vast scenery of the Blackmount to the glittering sands of Kintyre and beyond, these 18 new true tales of historic crime recount scenes, thankfully unrecognisable to modern Argyll residents, featuring muggings and murders, violent thefts, an old soldier's death, a disabled boy accused of killing a neighbour, a family of slippery thieves or the truth behind the last hangings in Argyll. These are the stories, previously untold, behind so many crimes hidden deep in the old records; old records which still smell of slate-dust, candle-smoke and charcoal from the original courtroom. The characters who sat in judgement there, the men who went in search of the criminals, and the surgeons who helped the victims are here introduced, while the past which almost touches the present so many times in old Argyll, is brought straight onto the page for readers. Blood and Battery is a parcel of new research about new historic crimes (some tragic, some thought-provoking, but all enlightening) and a colourful account of 66 years in a slowly modernising, but still criminal-ridden world of west coast industry, rural communities and government officialdom.

ACCUSED AND PERSEWED: MURDER, RIOT AND THEFT IN OLD ARGYLL

By: Lindsay Campbell

In the county of Argyll in the Western Highlands, the layout of communities has changed over the broad sweep of centuries. Centres of population have moved, centres of crime are now peaceful glens, but the vagaries of human nature behind so many modern crimes are also behind historic crime. Accused and Persewed tells the stories of twelve of these historic crimes; stories from the second half of the 17th century and largely untold until now. Set in the local context, and reaching out beyond the pages of the old Justice Records, the stories tell of a brutally murdered sea captain, the tragedy of a young girl’s baby, the dempster hanged on his own gallows, an acquitted murderer exposed as guilty after 350 years, or the truth behind a gang of witch-fairies. Some fifteen criminals are named, lost locations pinpointed and the deeply hidden reasons behind the actions of some people involved in the crimes, and the court staff who prosecuted them are investigated. Covering locations from Drumsynie to Dalavich, Appin to Kintyre, and countless places in between, Accused and Persewed delves into the murky world of true crime and true criminals in this historic county. Be careful of your enemies in old Argyll - the gallows are waiting.
