One Hundred and Sixty Allied Families

By: John Osborne Austin

This work is an exhaustive study of 160 families. For each family covered, a skeletal genealogy is given, showing births, marriages, and deaths in successive generations of the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. This is then followed by a narrative detailing the known facts about each person and family according to existing records. The narratives commence with the first member of the family to come to New England, identifying his place of origin and occupation, the date and place of his arrival in New England, and his residence--all information that was accumulated from the author's extensive research in wills, inventories, deeds, land records, and church records. The narratives then turn to the children of the original settler, treating them in like manner, and to their children, and so on until the genealogy is fully developed.

Spy Recruit

By: Erin Osborne

When summer arrives for fifteen-year-old Tobey Freeman, he looks forward to long days of laser tag and adventures on the bayou. However, an unexpected invitation into the world of espionage interrupts his plans. Soon secrecy and suspense replace his carefree days, and he must make some difficult decisions in order to protect his friends and family. One day while playing video games, an undercover agent from the Central Intelligence Adolescent Agency offers Tobey the chance to compete for an opening. Tobey accepts the challenge and envisions himself as a daring agent, until he discovers that his best friends are vying for the very same spot. While Tobey sets out on assignments with his fellow recruits, he realizes that his friendships are more important than the missions. Knowing they are stronger together than individually, the group works as a team to untangle the web of secrets and stays one step ahead of the CIAA. Through a series of surprising twists and turns, readers follow Tobey on his intriguing missions and as he navigates through adolescence into adulthood. Along the way, he learns the importance of friends, family, teamwork, and making moral choices. With original illustrations from Bethany Simmons, this thrilling book interlaces the everyday occurrences experienced during adolescence with thrilling suspense.

Perspectives on the Extent of the Atonement

3 Views

By: John S. Hammett,Grant R. Osborne,Carl R. Trueman

Perspectives on the Extent of the Atonement presents a point-counterpoint exchange concerning God’s intention in sending Christ to die on the cross. All three contributors recognize a substitutionary element in the atoning work of Christ, but disagree over the nature and objects of that substitution. Carl Trueman (Westminster Theological Seminary) argues that Christ’s atoning work secured the redemption of his elect alone. While infinite in value, Christ’s death was intended for and applied strictly to those whom the Father had elected unconditionally in eternity past. John Hammett (Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary) argues that Christ’s atoning work had multiple intentions. Of these intentions two rise to the fore: (1) the intention to accomplish atonement for God’s elect and (2) the intention to provide atonement for all mankind. Grant Osborne (Trinity Evangelical Divinity School) argues that Christ’s atoning work provided atonement generally for all mankind. The application of that atoning work is conditioned, however, on each person’s willingness to receive it.

American Normal

The Hidden World of Asperger Syndrome

By: Lawrence Osborne

Asperger's Syndrome, often characterized as a form of "high-functioning autism," is a poorly defined and little-understood neurological disorder. The people who suffer from the condition are usually highly intelligent, and as often as not capable of extraordinary feats of memory, calculation, and musicianship. In this wide-ranging report on Asperger's, Lawrence Osborne introduces us to those who suffer from the syndrome and to those who care for them as patients and as family. And, more importantly, he speculates on how, with our need to medicate and categorize every conceivable mental state, we are perhaps adding to their isolation, their sense of alienation from the "normal." -This is a book about the condition, and the culture surrounding Asperger's Syndrome as opposed to a guide about how to care for your child with Aspergers. -Examines American culture and the positive and negative perspectives on the condition. Some parents hope their child will be the next Glenn Gould or Bill Gates, others worry that their child is abnormal and overreact.

Eternal

By: Sarah A. Osborne

Aging at one-tenth the rate of the average human, Helena has never really understood her place in the mortal world. The first six decades of her life, she lived behind the walls of a convent, but after committing a horrendous crime, Helena is sent to a maximum security institute and spends another seven decades in solitary confinement. When she finally escapes her imprisonment, she has the physical looks of a thirteen-year-old girl but with a highly developed mental ability. Now on the run, Helena embarks on a journey to discover more about herself but finds her abilities are far more intricate than she could ever imagine, and dealing with mortal emotions is even more strenuous than managing her insatiable urge to hunt the evil that lurks around every corner. While seeking refuge at a southern plantation, she meets an eccentric psychic, who may hold the key to Helenas past, while unintentionally falling for an exotic mortal boy with a past just as mysterious as her own. Unable to run from her past or mortal emotions any longer, Helena must free herself not only from her captors but also from the people she truly cares about and decide whether to keep the one person who truly makes her happy or to let him go entirely.

Coastal Sage

Peter Douglas and the Fight to Save California's Shore

By: Thomas J. Osborne

There are moments when we forget how fortunate we are to have the California coast. The state is home to 1,100 miles of uninterrupted coastline defined by long stretches of beach and jagged rocky cliffs. Coastal Sage chronicles the career and accomplishments of Peter Douglas, the longest-serving executive director of the California Coastal Commission. For nearly three decades, Douglas fought to keep the California coast public, prevent overdevelopment, and safeguard habitat. In doing so, Douglas emerged as a leading figure in the contemporary American environmental movement and influenced public conservation efforts across the country. He coauthored California’s foundational laws pertaining to shoreline management and conservation: Proposition 20 and the California Coastal Act. Many of the political battles to save the coast from overdevelopment and secure public access are revealed for the first time in this study of the leader who was at once a visionary, warrior, and coastal sage.

Improving Subject Teaching

Lessons from Research in Science Education

By: Robin Millar,John Leach,Jonathan Osborne,Mary Ratcliffe

In many countries, questions are being raised about the quality and value of educational research. This book explores the relationship between research and practice in education. It looks at the extent to which current practice could be said to be informed by knowledge or ideas generated by research and at the extent to which the use of current practices or the adoption of new ones are, or could be, supported by research evidence. Science education is used as a case study but the issues considered apply to the teaching and learning of any curriculum subject. The book draws on the findings of four inter-related research studies and considers: how research might be used to establish greater consensus about curriculum; how research can inform the design of assessment tools and teaching interventions; teachers’ and other science educators’ perceptions of the influence of research on their teaching practices and their students’ learning; the extent to which evidence can show that an educational practice ‘works’.
