As one of the last major ballrooms located in this great nation, the Sunnybrook Ballroom is a historical and intricate part of Pennsylvanias past. Since 1926, the Sunnybrook Ballroom has been an established landmark in its community and is recognized nationwide. Opening its doors in 1931, the grand ballroom was built as an addition to the swim club and dance pavilion. For years, Sunnybrook has served as a viable piece of Americana and has seen many big-name performers upon its stage, including Glenn Miller, Cab Calloway, Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Stan Kenton, Lawrence Welk, Frank Sinatra, Tommy Dorsey, Chubby Checker, and even Bill Haley and the Comets. Using vintage photographs, The Sunnybrook Ballroom traces the history of this cherished haven for big band fans, rock and rollers, and music lovers alike.

Shakespeare's Plants and Gardens: A Dictionary

By: Vivian Thomas,Nicki Faircloth

Shakespeare lived when knowledge of plants and their uses was a given, but also at a time of unique interest in plants and gardens.His lifetime saw the beginning of scientific interest in plants, the first large-scale plant introductions from outside the country since Roman times, and the beginning of gardening as a leisure activity. Shakespeare's works show that he engaged with this new world to illuminate so many facets of his plays and poems. This dictionary offers a complete companion to Shakespeare's references to landscape, plants and gardens, including both formal and rural settings.It covers plants and flowers, gardening terms, and the activities that Shakespeare included within both cultivated and uncultivated landscapes as well as encompassing garden imagery in relation to politics, the state and personal lives. Each alphabetical entry offers an definition and overview of the term discussed in its historical context, followed by a guided tour of its use in Shakespeare's works and finally an extensive bibliography, including primary and secondary sources, books and articles.

Flyfisher's Guide to Washington

By: Greg Thomas

Everything an angler needs to know about flyfishing Washington is in this comprehensive guide, in more detail than ever before in print. There has never been a thorough statewide guide written specifically for flyfishing in Washington. Much like Oregon, this state combines a high population of flyfishers with a host of prime flyfishing water. With steelhead and salmon runs, trophy trout in lakes and rivers throughout the state, and the occasional smallmouth and largemouth bass thrown in, Washington has something to offer even the most discriminating angler. This guide will show you maps with access points, river mileage, campsites, and more, for each river system, along with detailed descriptions of rivers, tributaries and lakes, with hatch charts for each. Our format makes calling fly shops for up-to-the minute information or setting up motel reservations in a new area a snap.

Does Preaching Have a Future?

A Call to Join the Conversation

By: Dr. Dwight S. Riddick Sr.,DR. FRANK A. THOMAS

From preaching sermons as a child in the backyard, to delivering the upcoming Presidents address for the 101st annual gathering of the prestigious Hampton University Ministers Conference, Dr. Dwight Riddick has become transparent in his book, Does Preaching Have a Future? As you open the pages of this book, you will find insightful, conversational thoughts around the future of preaching. He writes, This book is intended to ignite conversation about what preaching should look like going forward-if this discourse is not already burning in the soul. This veteran (seasoned) pastor and teacher of the gospel has relied completely upon Scripture in his broad range of topics when it comes to the future of preaching: *Preach the word, be instant in season, out of season is a tried and proven counsel for preachers stretching all generations. *Ezekiel was faced with the question, can these bones live? Preachers today are asked if their preaching can bring about positive transformation in the lives of hopeless people and hopeless cases during changing times. Dr. Riddick supports this conversational topic by reminding his fellow homileticians (preachers) that those called and anointed by God are uniquely qualified to explain the Scripture.
