The process of uprooting the family and planting new roots in a strange new location is replayed several times over the course of the average Salvation Army officer's career. Author Thomas Mc Williams and his wife were no exceptions to that reality. Over the years, they gained many valuable insights about helping their daughter cope with the trials and challenges that often crop up when farewell orders arrive. The author, with eloquent and heartfelt input from his daughter, shares about the challenges they faced and how they came to terms with them. He also offers his insights on navigating through the issues that are unique to families involved in Christian ministry.
A new chapter in the extraordinary and unorthodox career of the artist known as Skinner. Take a vibrant, neon tour through the travels, shows, experiments, friends, and strange career of an American visionary freak. Skinner's wild, graphic explorations take form in multiple media, expanding the self-reflective narratives and myths that have defined his oeuvre. Skinner's unusual path has taken him beyond the traditional routes of many artists, and this book documents his journey-into-the-unknown. This journey, which has come to define his career, puts zero limits on where his creativity will take him--venturing into world-building concepts in film, animation, music videos, and writing. In addition to his fine art, Skinner has seen success in many commercial avenues with identification bumps for Adult Swim, live projections for the band Mastodon, and the experimental art show "Drawing with Skinner" on Super Deluxe. Won't you come along?
Set during an election night party, Don's guests pursue the rituals of courtship and sexual competitiveness as a means of coping with the insecurities of their own empty lives. This satire examines a society emerging from a generation of comfortable, conservative political and social values.
For an officer returning from an overseas campaign, it is time to put the horrors of battle behind him, and to take back his place at the family table. But for the officer's wife, it is time to take her revenge.
Forty years ago, a young playwright muscled his way onto the scene with a clutch of time-defining plays, including Don's Party. With this sequel, David Williamson celebrates four decades of telling the tribe their story. It's 21 August 2010, the night of yet another Federal election and, of course, yet another election night party at Don's place. Over the decades, as he and his friends watched governments come and go, they have also closely followed the incoming results from each other's lives: the tallies of luck and misfortune, the unexpected swings for and against. And through it all, the lesson that this crowd of superannuated baby boomers never seemed to learn is that politics and strong personalities should never be mixed with alcohol.
Arguably one of the more important figures in early California history, Don Agustin Juan Vicente Zamorano (1798-1842) first came to California in 1825 as the executive secretary of the territory of Alta California, and went on to become commandant of the most important military base in the territory, the presidio of Monterey, and even was the acting governor of the territory for a year. Zamorano is best known, however, for being the first printer in California.Arriving with Governor Don Jose Maria de Echeandia in the fall of 1825, Zamorano became involved in California affairs during the transitional period following Mexico's independence from Spain in 1821 and its adoption of a republican constitution in 1824.Zamorano imported the first printing press to be set up west of the Rocky Mountains in 1826. From 1826 to 1831, he created letterheads from woodblocks and type, pounding proofs without a press. With the acquisition of a press in 1834, Zamorano issued eleven broadsides, six books, and six miscellaneous works, in addition to numerous letterheads, before departing California in 1838. The small books and proclamations issued by Zamorano are extremely rare, and represent the earliest printing in the Far West.Through the use of source materials, including Zamorano's reports to the Mexican government, proclamations to the people of California, and letters to and about Zamorano, author Harding establishes Zamorano's connection with the history of California from 1825 to 1838.Originally published in 1934 in an edition of only 325 copies by the Zamorano Club, a well-known Los Angeles organization of book collectors, printers, and librarians, Don Agustin V. Zamorano tells the life history of the man who brought the art of printing to California. Long out of print and unavailable, the second edition of this important biography is offered now with a new introduction.

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

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.
