Young Frederick Douglass

By: Dickson J. Preston

No one working on Douglass should leave home without a copy of this book."—from the foreword by David W. Blight, Pulitzer Prize winning author of Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom Drawing on previously untapped sources, Young Frederick Douglass recreates with fidelity and in convincing detail the background and early life of the man who was to become “the gadfly of America’s conscience” and the undisputed spokesman for nineteenth-century black Americans. With a new foreword by renowned Douglass scholar David W. Blight, Dickson J. Preston’s highly regarded biography traces the life and times of Frederick Douglass from his birth on Maryland’s Eastern Shore in 1818 until 1838, when he escaped from slavery to emerge upon the national scene. Astounding his white contemporaries with his oratorical brilliance and intellectual capabilities, Douglass dared to challenge the doctrine of white supremacy on its own grounds. At the time of Douglass’s death in 1895, one eulogist wrote that he was probably the best-known American throughout the world since Abraham Lincoln.

Affection and Estrangement: a Southern Family Memoir

By: Preston M. Browning Jr.

Preston Browning Jr. entered the world in 1929, a few months before the Crash and the onset of the Great Depression. In Culpeper, Virginia, Browning grew up amid the pervasive poverty of the times where he recalls being labeled by his father as the worlds worst grouch, led in song by Miss Lizzy Lovellwho banged on the piano at the local Episcopal church, and seated astride a cow who needed a lot of convincing to take him for a ride around the pasture beyond his house. With humor and exceptional detail, Browning shares a lively memoir that focuses on his coming-of-age journey and subsequent experiences in the rural South during the 1930s and 1940s, providing a compelling glimpse into how his family and others helped shape his emerging sense of self, his convictions, and his character. While providing snippets about the era and sketches of more than twenty relatives and ancestors that include an amusing retelling about his Uncle Sweets experiences at a hoochie-coochie show, Browning details the fascinating legacy of his Southern upbringing during a time when a struggle for racial, economic, and social justice prevailed in America. In this inspiring memoir, a Southerner reminisces about small-town Virginia before, during, and after the Great Depression through entertaining stories about his unconventional ancestors, his immediate family, and his own experiences.

Discipled Leader

Inspiration from a Fortune 500 Executive for Transforming Your Workplace by Pursuing Christ

By: Preston Poore

A must-read for every leader." —Dan T. Cathy, Chairman and CEO at Chick-fil-A, Inc. Preston Poore has spent decades in corporate America. Despite all the excellent advice he was given for growing in leadership, there was something missing: a way to bring his Christian beliefs to bear in his professional life, not just his personal life. So Preston sought his own answer to how his faith could impact his management of hundreds of employees. What he discovered was this: the first step wasn't adjusting his leadership style. Instead, he needed to let God change him before he could effect real change in his workplace. And in order to model discipleship to his team, he needed to first be discipled by the Spirit. Here, in the day-to-day practice of being a disciple of Jesus Christ, Poore found where his faith and exceptional leadership intersect. Through personal stories, biblical principles, and hands-on workplace guidance, Poore offers readers a unique look at this seldom-discussed connection. He challenges struggling leaders to engage in the hard work of daily discipleship. And he charges experienced leaders to return to the fundamentals of their faith, encouraging them to disciple other Christians with leadership potential. For anyone wrestling with how to bring faith to the workplace, whether it be a cubicle or a boardroom, Discipled Leader reveals that leadership doesn't begin behind the desk--it begins in the soul.

Pennies for Her Eyes

A Surf City Mystery

By: James R. Preston

I was sitting on a wet bike in frigid water, watching waves the size of three-story buildings slide toward me, hump up, then hump up again getting even taller before crashing down with a sound like a Las Vegas casino imploding. I could be in one of those casinos, a fancy one, too, because they liked me and wanted me to work for them, or I could be on Wall Street moving around billion-dollar chunks of money. But instead I was here, cold and anxious and very soon I'd have to drive the wet bike in front of one of these waves, dragging a beautiful redhead behind me on the end of a towline, and if -- when--she fell I'd have to go get her. Or die trying. That was the part I didn't like, the "die trying." My name is T. R. Macdonald and believe it or not this was the good part. People hadn't started stuffing me in the trunks of cars or shooting at me. Yet.

A right to die? : the Dax Cowart case ; [an ethical case study on CD-ROM]

By: David Andersen,Robert Cavalier,Preston K. Covey

The fascinating and moving case of Dax Cowart is one of the best known and most significant in applied ethics, highlighting the ethical and medical dilemmas over an individual's right to die. As a young man, Dax Cowart was seriously injured and left with greatly reduced quality of life as a result of a car accident in Texas. Dax's struggle to die and the arguments surrounding the decisions of those involved made him a cause celebre in the Right to Die movement. This ground-breaking CD-ROM, developed in association with Carnegie Mellon University, presents this important case in detail. The user sees and hears Dax himself and those surrounding him and is forced to participate in the difficult decisions being made. The user is asked to make brief statements justifying these decisions, which can be reviewed at the end of the session. By participating in this genuinely interactive process, students develop, practice and defend their ethical analysis and decision-making using a 'real world' case study. Bringing together reference material, pedagogical text, video and sound, The Right to Die on CD-ROM is a major resource across several academic disciplines including philosophy, medical ethics and law. Professional practitioners will also find this CD-ROM essential for reviewing and honing their analytical skills and libraries, societies, pressure groups and other concerned institutions will require copies for reference use. The software allows the user to: * Install on either a Macintosh or Windows machine * Save and print out their own notes and statements * Review the decisions and statements made during a session * Access video clips without running through the whole program Contents: 1. Programme Introduction Introduces the programme and introduces The Basic Question. In the latter, the user is asked to take on an initial view of Dax Cowart's request to die based on a summary of the case. 2. Guided Inquiries The user is guided through the case and its context, reading evidence, listening to the arguments put forward and watching video footage. The user is asked to make ethical decisions and the evidence and text presented subsequently changes appropriately, demonstrating the full impact of decisions taken. The user can at any time seek help on the philosophical thinking involved behind the decision at hand using the commentary button. The last section of the Guided Inquiries - Final Position - leaves the user to make the final judgement. The programme finishes with an audio-visual segment that once again challenges the user to reflect on their position. 3. The Archives This section allows a review of the case material - including audio-visual elements - independently from the case narrative. Additional information regarding the case chronology and other famous 'right to die' cases are included. * Available in a basic single-user version or a multi-user version. The multi-user version allows the purchase of multiple copies at a substantial discount on the single-user price for use in the classroom and project work in libraries and computing centres Teacher's Guide Provided with the multi-user version, this book not only guides the instructor through the programme but also suggests possible uses of the CD-ROM in the classroom with specific lesson plans and bibliographies. * For more information on this title - including sample black and white Quicktime movies from the CD - visit our Right to Die site at: http: //www.routledge.com:9966/routledge/indepth/dax/main.htm l For further information - including details on the multi-user option - email info.dax@routledge.com
