Unfeigned Love: Historical Accounts of Caroline Chisholm and Her Work is a very useful collection of source materials, almost all of which have long been out of print or otherwise unavailable. It includes Caroline Chisholm's most interesting book, Female Immigration Considered, which deals with the stated topic and the operation of the female immigrants' home in Sydney in 1841-42; correspondence showing the initial misgivings of colonial clergy to the home's establishment; the Rev. John Dunmore Lang's sectarian attack on Caroline Chisholm in 1846 and her superb response; the main memoirs from the early 1850s, relating her life and work to that time, interlaced with many anecdotes about bush life and colonial personalities; and articles published between 1909 and 1916 that cover similar ground and promote her saintly (that is, challenging, worthy and spiritual) qualities. To assist today's readers, the book also has sub-headings and an index for Female Immigration Considered, in addition to informative introductory chapters and notes specially written for the various historical accounts.
The result of five years of research, First Heroes untangles an intricate web of information and ultimately concludes that the prisoners of war that were held captive in Southeast Asia were forgotten or ignored by their own country. Author Rod Colvin crisscrossed the country interviewing military and government officials, veterans, returned POWs, political figures, journalists, and members of the National League of Families and the National Forget-Me-Not Association and balances hard facts with the dramatic personal accounts of parents, wives, brothers, sisters, and children who have waged a difficult battle for the truth about their loved ones. This chronicle is as much a testament to the faith and unending hope of the family members as it is the story of the men themselves. First Heroes is destined to change the way readers think about war, freedom, and their country.
The industry's longest-running publication for baseball analysts and fantasy leaguers, the 2013 Baseball Forecaster, published annually since 1986, is the first book to approach prognostication by breaking performance down into its component parts. Rather than predicting batting average, for instance, this resource looks at the elements of skill that make up any given batter’s ability to distinguish between balls and strikes, his propensity to make contact with the ball, and what happens when he makes contact—reverse engineering those skills back into batting average. The result is an unparalleled forecast of baseball abilities and trends for the upcoming season and beyond.
