George Kent
A Life of Gwendolyn Brooks

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: ` This is the first full-scale biography of Gwendolyn Brooks, one of America`s major poets. George E. Kent, a longtime friend and literary associate of the poet in Chicago, was given exclusive access to Brooks` early notebooks, which she kept from the age of seven. Kent also interviewed Brooks, her mother, and other family members in Chicago and elsewhere. He scoured records and correspondence with her publishers, editors, and agent. He participated in the poet`s literary enterprises and in her wide circle of literary and family friends. The study reveals intimate acquaintance with the Harlem Renaissance, with the Chicago literary scene and its leading figures from the thirties on, with historical developments in black culture and consciousness, and with the significant figures and activities that impressed the poet`s life and art. It places Brooks` work in the context of the civil rights movement, the black arts movement, and black nationalism. Gwendolyn Brooks won the Pulitzer Prize… [detailed...]

A Lion Called Christian: The True Story of the Remarkable Bond between Two Friends and a Lion

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In 2008 an extraordinary two-minute film clip appeared on YouTube and immediately became an international phenomenon. It captures the moving reunion of two young men and their pet lion Christian, after they had left him in Africa with Born Free’s George Adamson to introduce him into his rightful home in the wild.A Lion Called Christian tells the remarkable story of how Anthony “Ace” Bourke and John Rendall, visitors to London from Australia in 1969, bought the boisterous lion cub in the pet department of Harrods. For several months, the three of them shared a flat above a furniture shop on London’s King’s Road, where the charismatic and intelligent Christian quickly became a local celebrity, cruising the streets in the back of a Bentley, popping in for lunch at a local restaurant, even posing for a fashion advertisement. But the lion cub was growing up—fast—and soon even the walled church garden where he went for exercise wasn’t large enough for him. How could Ace and John avoid… [detailed...]

A Literary Examination of the Function of Satire in the Mispat Hammelek of I Samuel 8

2007 y.
Publisher: Edwin Mellen Pr
Description: This study is a literary examination of the Israelite request for kingship in `1 Samuel 8` with satire in view as its genre. Through a close reading of the passage, this work contends that both Yahweh`s and Samuel`s speeches combine in the form a judgment speech to the nation of Israel. The greater unit of `1 Samuel 8-12` also shows a satiric dialectic that is subtly anti-Saul but not anti-monarchy. This study argues that `1 Samuel 8` is religio-political satire seeking to reform both the deviation from the covenantal norm of Yahweh`s kingship and the deviation from the deuteronomic standard of Yahweh-initiated (ie, prophet anointed) kingship.

Douglas R. Weiner
A Little Corner of Freedom: Russian Nature Protection from Stalin to Gorbachev

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: While researching Russia`s historical efforts to protect nature, Douglas Weiner unearthed unexpected findings: a trail of documents that raised fundamental questions about the Soviet political system. These surprising documents attested to the unlikely survival of a critical-minded, scientist-led movement through the Stalin years and beyond. It appeared that, within scientific societies, alternative visions of land use, resource exploitation, habitat protection, and development were sustained and even publicly advocated. In sharp contrast to known Soviet practices, these scientific societies prided themselves on their traditions of free elections, foreign contacts, and a pre- revolutionary heritage. Weiner`s ambitious goal is no less than to explain the intricacies of environmental activism under Stalin and his successors. He portrays the activists not as do-or-die resisters to the system, nor as inoffensive do- gooders. Rather, they were individuals who opened the… [detailed...]

Glenn Dromgoole, author of seventeen books and co-founder of Americans for More Civility, has collected some `gentle thoughts for today`s hectic world` into a small book with a big message. `Too often`, he writes, `we allow the busyness and the chaos of daily living to lay waste the powers of our better selves and best intentions - to be kind, generous, helpful, reasonable, and civil`.
