The best journalists are masters at their craft. With a comma and a colon, a vivid verb and a colorful adjective, they not only convey important information but also create a sense of place and evoke powerful emotions. A compelling story can shape—for good or ill—the way a reader understands people, events, and issues. The Ethics of the Story examines the ethical implications of narrative techniques commonly used in journalism, not just literary journalism but also news and feature writing. The book draws on interviews with 60 talented journalists, including Pulitzer Prize winners, to offer practical advice about ethical choices in writing and editing. Much has been written about journalism ethics, but the discussion has often focused on spectacularly bad decisions—such as Jayson Blair’s and Jack Kelley’s use of fraudulent narrative—rather than the ethical dimension of day-to-day choices about the building blocks of journalistic storytelling. The Ethics of the Story fills a gap in current work on ethics, writing, and editing. It will enlighten any serious wordsmith with a story to tell.

People have been writing "Greetings from Havre de Grace" since 1789, making this one of the oldest postal addresses in the country. The rich history of the "Harbor of Hope" on the Chesapeake Bay is documented in 265 postcard images, all from the early 20th century. The cards depict well-known images such as the famous "double-decker bridge," the Concord Point Lighthouse, and many waterfront and boating scenes for which the city is known. Over 800 homes and other structures make up a large portion of the city, listed on the National Register of Historic Districts. Architectural styles range from stately Federal, Greek Revival, Italianate, and Queen Anne styles to Victorian stone mansions. The book portrays buildings that have thankfully been preserved, others that have undergone drastic changes, and sadly, many that have succumbed to development. This book evokes happy memories for current and past residents and is an important architectural guide for historians and preservationists.

One of the first medical ethnographies to be written on contemporary Vietnam, Familiar Medicine examines the practical ways in which people of the Red River Delta make sense of their bodies, illness, and medicine. Traditional knowledge and practices have persisted but are now expressed through and alongside global medical knowledge and commodities. Western medicine has been eagerly adopted and incorporated into everyday life in Vietnam, but not entirely on its own terms. Familiar Medicine takes a conjectural, interdisciplinary approach to its subject, weaving together history, ethnography, cultural geography, and survey materials to provide a rich and readable account of local practices in the context of an increasingly globalized world and growing microbial resistance to antibiotics. Theoretically, it draws on current critical and cultural theory (in particular applying Pierre Bourdieu's work on habitus and practical logics) in innovative but approachable ways. David Craig addresses a range of contemporary fascinations in medical anthropology and the sociology of health and illness: from the trafficking of medical commodities and ideas under globalization to the hybridization of local cultural formations, knowledge, and practices. His book will be required reading for international workers in health and development in Vietnam and a rich resource for courses in cultural geography, anthropology, medical sociology, regional studies, and public and international health.

It is no secret that the impact of painful events upon a life can change everything - priorities, relationships, attitudes, behaviors - at least for a while. But after the pain is gone, the debris is cleared away, and the fear has subsided, human beings inevitably attempt to renegotiate the desperation-based promises made to God in exchange for his divine intervention. Why does it take a potentially deadly illness or catastrophic event to get our attention? Why do we tend to disregard God's plan to use such circumstances to teach us valuable lessons? Why do we invariably forget the lessons, ignore the lessons, or simply fail to apply them to subsequent life experiences? IT'S OKAY TO FAIL THE TEST is the true story of one man's struggle to learn the many lessons God is trying to teach him without having to take the test again and again. After ten years of managing the threat of "death by cancer" this preacher's kid from Oregon ultimately recognizes that God will use whatever it takes, for as long as it takes, to get and keep his attention. Twenty-five years after deserting his faith, abandoning his call to ministry, forsaking his relationship with God, and slumbering under the spell of self-sufficiency, the author is rudely awakened by the discovery of a large cancerous tumor growing in his throat. His unwillingness to believe that the doctor always knows best just because he's the doctor produces the startling revelation that what is often called a "terminal illness" can, in reality, be a "chronic disease". The discovery of the tumor also leads him to a re-examination of his relationship with God and the series of promises he made in exchange for his life. His quest to learn why the cancer returns on multiple occasions after obvious miracle healing produces an understanding that God does not always provide answers to our questions or an explanation for our circumstances. That God does indeed chasten those he loves. And that God most often wants us to trust him simply because he asks us to.

Though we are all sorry sinners, not worthy to sing God's praises, we must. The trick is to not let concerns for ""Christian stealth"" transform us into poets who end up serving a second master. ""Platform"" has its draw, but we can't let a wide concern for Catholic culture become no culture at all. We can't be so concerned with success that our poems lose their distinguishing content. Jesus is Lord of all the earth. Using a conversational style lifted from Collins and Coleridge, these poems seek to bring a world to light where He has always been alive and active, where he reigns in complete power, worthy of all our praise. May He forgive us all our sins and change us in the twinkling of His eye before our journey ends. ""A compelling pleasure. . . . David Craig longs for the eternal amid the pleasures and trials of the quotidian. He catches glimpses of the everlasting that reveal the larger coherence, his mortal place in the immortal plan. These lovely lyrical meditations are self-effacing but also self-assured, the expression of a self-creating sacrifice: 'Oh great God of the universe / hear us as we move our losses aside / Let that be our voice, our answer.'"" --Andrew Hudgins, author of A Clown at Midnight: Poems ""Barefoot and unadorned, these poems confide in an unpretentious voice. Eschewing ambition, largeness, notoriety, they accept the small, ordinary, and unkempt. And yet in their honest appraisal of our lives and ourselves, they can 'become / a listening place, a place of transformation, ' reminding us of the necessary humility for grace, open to what can be found in the lost and the least, open to God."" --Eric Potter, professor of English, Grove City College, author of Things Not Seen This is David Craig's twenty-third psalm/book and his sixth book of poetry in the last five years. He'd like to thank his wife Linda, his kids, his poetry friends, and his students for offering the life that has made its way into these poems. Christ is risen
