"ALVIN" is the story of a life - a career as a lawyer defending Indian tribes and a parallel career in photography. The writer, 87, tells stories; stories of a young man from a middle class Jewish family in Chicago, a voracious reader with a talent for art and music, yet seeking out the work of a manual laborer, a story of racial bigotry in the U.S. Army, the story of his rise from a mediocre law student to the founder of a law firm in Seattle that became a national leader in the defense of tribal sovereignty, the story of the love of "Lennie", the girl he married and her conquest of cancer, the story of his children and their lives, and the story of his immersion in the art of photography. The stories include devoting his lawyer's skills to exonerate a mailman wrongly accused of stealing from the mails, arguing a case in the Supreme Court, persuading a court that his client's possession of gold bullion was not a crime, debating an "Equal Protection" issue with the future Justice of the Supreme Court, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, meeting John F. Kennedy, litigating a Rabbi's will by crossing swords with the highest authority in Orthodox Judaism and his part in the struggle of American Indian tribes to reconstruct their tribal governments.

The distinguished American philosopher Alvin Plantinga has had a career-long interest in the defense of Christian belief. There hasn't been a major contemporary challenge to such belief that Plantinga has not, in some way, addressed. This book draws together those contributions, highlighting particularly Plantinga's groundbreaking work in the areas of epistemology and the problem of evil. Historical and biographical background information is included to give perspective to Plantinga's work. His theory that both theistic and Christian belief is warranted and basic is explored and critiqued, and an assessment is offered as to the significance of Plantinga's work for apologetic theory and practice.
Few European male actors have been as iconic and influential for generations of filmgoers as Alain Delon. Emblematic of a modern, European masculinity, Delon’s appeal spanned cultures and continents. From his breakthrough as the first on-screen Tom Ripley in Purple Noon in 1960, through two legendary performances in Rocco and His Brothers and The Leopard in the early 1960s, to his roles in some of Jean-Pierre Melville’s most celebrated films noirs, Delon came to embody the flair and stylishness of the European thriller as one of France’s most recognizable film stars. This collection examines the star’s career, image and persona. Not only focusing on his spectacular early performances, the book also considers less well documented aspects of Delon’s long career such as his time in Hollywood, his work as director, producer and screenwriter, his musical collaborations, his TV appearances, and his enduring role as a fashion icon in the 21st century. Whether the object of reverence or ridicule, of desire or disdain, Delon remains a unique figure who continues to court controversy and fascination more than five decades after he first achieved international fame.
Alvin Plantinga is the contemporary world's most influential Christian philosopher. His work over the past six decades has paved the way for Christian thinkers in the fields of philosophy of religion, epistemology, metaphysics, and science. Despite the widespread rejection of Christian assumptions by the majority of modern thinkers, Plantinga is unembarrassed to use them in his academic work and defends them well. Throughout his career, Plantinga has addressed important philosophical questions that have been debated for millennia. In this accessible overview and analysis of his work, philosophy professor Greg Welty examines his approach to faith and reason, the problem of evil, theistic arguments, the divine attributes, religion and science, and Christian philosophical method. He concludes by studying Plantinga's body of work and its interaction with his Reformed heritage. Welty combines philosophical accuracy with theological evaluation as he encourages readers to do their own thinking on these critical subjects.

Dedicated to all my family members (birth & blended), friends, and most of all to my hubby Jeff, who was a good listener as I read to him out loud. It is my hope that children everywhere will read this book, or have it read to them, and find the wonder of a turtle who captured the hearts of a family.
