Don't Throw the Book at Them addresses one of the most vital issues in contemporary missions. It is a manual for cross-cultural missionaries and national church leaders ministering in societies based on oral rather than written communication. Harry Box, former missionary and researcher in Papua New Guinea and among the Aborigines of Central Australia, explains the distinct characteristics of oral societies, how they differ from literacy-oriented societies, Jesus' ministry to oral communicators, and why effective presentation of the Christian message demands that Western Christians change their approach to orality. The book goes beyond case studies and analysis, allowing the reader to develop a detailed plan for communication.
Back in the 1960s, the Burke Family Singers were America's answer to Austria's von Trapp Family. Throughout that tumultuous decade the fabric of the nation's life was of course torn by the war in Vietnam and the impassioned drive of the civil rights movement. It was against this churning backdrop that a large Rhode Island family - mother, father and 10 children - set out on the first of what would prove a long series of coast-to-coast tours, whose only purpose was to bring the glorious sound of their music to audiences everywhere. They performed in major cities and remote small towns, and during their travels they met the von Trapp Family and recorded an album of Christmas carols with them. Sarah Jo Burke, the youngest of the five daughters, has written a book that celebrates American values in the best sense and, if nothing else, proves that the family that sings together stays together.
With a calloused and lustful heart, Don Juan indulges his sexual appetites with boundless enthusiasm. Heedless of warnings both earthly and otherwise, history's most notorious romantic devil rushes headlong toward retribution in Moli re's sparkling comedy. "Richard Nelson's supple translation accommodates this transposition comfortably, without infidelity to the original." Julius Novick, The Village Voice "Richard Nelson's translation...seems an improvement on previous drab, very English, English versions." James Lardner, The Washington Post
DWARF is the story of the five ages of Man and in particular, the five ages of one George Leroy Tirebiter, a man named after a dog "The Beatles of comedy." -Library of Congress "The Firesign Theatre is a comedy group that uses the recording studio at least as brilliantly as any rock group ..." -Robert Christgau "... Firesign is] the funniest team in America today, combining elements of W C Fields, James Joyce, Lord Buckley, contemporary television and Thirties radio, scrambling it all up in a collective consciousness that defies description, and then spewing it out in a free-form half-hour epic presentation of sheer insanity ... Their timing is dynamite, their dialog kaleidoscopic, and their satire is, so to speak, acidic. WAITING FOR THE ELECTRICIAN ... a masterpiece of paranoia." -Ed Ward, Rolling Stone

"Since you hear my voice, it means I'm still alive." ACT ONE]"Where there's music, there's no evil." ACT THREE]"He has deprived me of the most precious gift a man is endowed with-he has deprived me of my freedom " ACT FOUR] "For Bulgakov, theater was...a place full of na ve magic and mystery."Anatoly Smeliansky, Is Comrade Bulgakov Dead?

It also features fresh, encouraging, and imitable stories of people (church planters and entrepreneurs) who have heard Jesus say to them, "Come," and who have walked with Jesus in remarkable and instructive ways.Many believers today want to see their faith in action. They want to know where Jesus is going to use them for his glory in the world. Yet, many are stuck not knowing how to turn the ignition on their faith. They may not expect to hear from God or may not have the courage to answer God's call. This book will be a spark to help people out of their "boats" and onto whatever water Jesus has called them. It is an ideal resource for church planters, church planting teams and teaching pastors, couples, college students, ministry leaders, and anyone hoping to put their faith into motion.
Scorpions and brown recluse spiders are fine as far as they go, but if you want daily contact with venomous creatures, the ocean is the place to be. Blue-ringed octopi, stony corals, sea jellies, stonefish, lionfish, poison-fanged blennies, stingrays, cone snails, blind remipedes, fire urchins—you can choose your poison in the ocean. Venoms are often but not always defensive weapons. The banded sea krait, an aquatic snake, wriggles into undersea caves to prey on vicious moray eels, killing them with one of the world’s most deadly neurotoxins, which it injects through fangs that resemble hypodermic needles.

Since 1970, Manitoba artist Don Proch has built an astonishing body of work evoking a semi-mythical Prairie past and an unsettled and unresolved modernity. In his complex sculptures and life-size masks, Proch combines intricate draftsmanship with natural and found materials in surprising and transformative ways. Proch grew up in the farmland of north central Manitoba. Using the rolling hills and unique parkland vistas of the Asessippi valley he creates a complex personal iconography based on prairie life, landscape, geology and history. The result is what art critic Robert Enright called “inexplicable as a miracle”. Proch first came to the Canadian art world's attention as part of a group of radical young artists in the 1970s, intent on shaking up the art establishment. His complex installations, masks, and silk screen prints quickly established his reputation as an innovator with a unique vision. Today he is recognized as one of the most influential visual artists to come out of western Canada, and his work can be found in major public and corporate collections including Canada's major art galleries. Richly illustrated with over 80 pieces, this book includes rare excerpts from Proch's notebooks which reveal his intricate working process. Surveying the course of Proch's career, curator and art historian Patricia Bovey discusses the themes and influences behind his work and their context within the history of Canadian art.

It includes new sections on caring for technical wool garments and repairing softshell fabrics, single-wall tents, hydration systems, and more.Whether you need to remedy a leak in your tent, repair flapping boot soles, nurse a cranky stove back to life, unclog a water filter, or revive gunked-up Velcro, you'll find the solution here.

Here's just a few of many tips: make a sturdy zipper pull by threading a thin strip of duct tape through the slider, then wrapping the tails with more duct tape; for a more stable stove, cut a square of old closed-cell foam pad sized to fit the base of your backpacking stove and wrap the foam generously with duct tape for insulation and you have a stable cooking platform that works great in the snow; and, when re-gluing a boot or shoe sole, a few turns of duct tape can keep the toe area secure while the glue dries.
