R.J. Kern: The Unchosen Ones
Mw Editions

Poignant, multilayered portraits of America’s future farmers A new book by award-winning Minneapolis-based photographer R.J. Kern (born 1978), The Unchosen Ones features portraits of future farmers in America’s heartland. Kern’s subjects are Minnesota 4-H members posing with their farm animals. Each one spent a year raising an animal, which they then entered into a 4-H competition. Kern first photographed them in 2016, and none of the children who sat for him succeeded in winning an award, despite the obvious care they had given to their animals. The formal qualities of Kern’s lighting and setting endow these young people with a gravitas beyond their years, revealing self-directed dedication in some, and in others, perhaps, the pressures of traditions imposed upon them. These beautiful portraits capture a certain America, a rural world and a time in life when the layered emotions of youth are laid bare. Four years later, in 2020, Kern returned to photograph and interview his young subjects. The new images are poignant when juxtaposed with the originals, tapping into the mindset of America’s agricultural youth. The diptychs of the children are punctuated by lush landscapes of the farms where these children have grown up. As he took the second group of photographs, Kern inquired about what his young subjects had carried forward from their previous experience. What were their thoughts, their advice, their dreams and their goals for the future? How do they fit in future agricultural America?

The theory of evolution has been around for over two and a half centuries now, and yet, the theory has still not found any significant scientific support. The current science is actually moving us further away from long-term evolution, and more towards a younger earth, and the Biblical narrative.Advances in space exploration, such as the James Webb telescope, are finding galaxies at the outer edges of the known universe, where there shouldn't be galaxies - spiral galaxies that should have wound up millions of years ago if the universe was actually that old - and uniform heat signatures across the known universe, which would not be possible if the universe started with a massive hot explosive force around 13.8 billion years ago.In addition, genetic research and tracing have also thrown up significant issues for a supposed long age of humanity on planet earth. There are also many other concerns that an evolutionary view of our past cannot answer.R.I.P. The Theory Of Evolution explores a range of topics that will demonstrate just how scientifically unsupported the theory of evolution actually is. Starting with the Big Bang Theory and working forward, this book will consider what we do know, and what this implies for our history.Take the time to research this topic yourself. You will be amazed to see how current scientific data is throwing new light on our "recent" past.

R.M.Ballantyne is possibly the greatest writer of children's adventure stories. He is most famous for his work "The Coral Island", but wrote more than a hundred stories. Because of a mistake he made in The Coral Island, in which he gave an incorrect thickness of coconut shells, he subsequently travelled all over the world to gain ensure his stories were accurate and carefully researched. For example, he served for as a London fireman while researching "Fighting the Flames" and for "Deep Down" he spent time with the tin miners of Cornwall. In this Collection, ten of his best known and loved stories are included, complete and unabridged. They are: Hudson Bay, The Coral Island (illustrated), The Dog Crusoe and his Master, Away in the Wilderness, Fast in the Ice, The Lifeboat, Post Haste, My Doggie and I, The Madman and the Pirate and The Pirate City
R. J. Mitchell at Supermarine is the definitive account of the life of Britain’s best-known aeronautical engineer. Shelton calls upon unpublished letters, extensive press accounts, and updated material from his previous publications, concentrating particularly on the harsh conditions of Mitchell’s apprentice years, the precarious state of the aircraft firm he joined, and moments of good fortune of which he took advantage. He was a ‘chancer’ as well as a methodical developer of, mainly, slow flying seaplanes. Mitchell’s progress from draughtsman, with no formal training in aeronautical design, to internationally known chief designer is charted through a chronological study of his designs, revealing a formidable work ethic with a complex personality that combined ‘dreams and common sense’. It will also be shown how the success of his high-speed Schneider Trophy designs propelled him reluctantly into public attention and how his anxiety for his pilots’ safety matched an equal concern that his designs should not let down an expectant nation. Later expectations on him to produce a ‘killer fighter’ were equally daunting, and the outcome was often uncertain, but details of colleagues’ accounts highlight the essential and unique contribution of R.J.’s experience and drive to the eventual appearance of the iconic Spitfire.
This new centenary volume brings together 52 poems – 4 previously unpublished – by RS Thomas to his wife 'Elsi', the distinguished artist Mildred E Eldridge. Together the poems reveal much of the changing (and challenging) dynamics of a complex yet vitally creative relationship. Tender and honest at one moment, ironic and accusatory the next, there are poems on marriage, family, anniversaries and bereavement – offering up a candid portrait of emotional intimacy, the painful process of ageing, and of loss.RS Thomas was born in Cardiff. Ordained as an Anglican priest in 1936, life in the rural parishes of north Wales became the inspiration for much of his poetry; it was in his first post in Denbighshire that he met 'Elsi'. He was awarded the Queen's Gold Medal in 1964, and nominated for the 1996 Nobel Prize in Literature. A Penguin Modern Classics Selected Poems was published in 2004, followed by Bloodaxe's Collected Later Poems (2004) and Uncollected Poems (2013). He died in 2000. Damian Walford Davies teaches at Aberystwyth University. His latest poetry collection is Witch (Seren, 2012). He is General Editor of the forthcoming Oxford Literary History of Wales.
The collected supernatural tales of a famous literary priestRobert Hugh Benson was one of the three famous, literary Benson Brothers who, in addition to their other occupations, developed a taste for penning stories of the ghostly and weird. Born in 1871, one of six siblings and the son of an Archbishop of Canterbury, R. H. Benson's ghostly fiction has certainly taken (together with the comparable work of brother, A. C. Benson) a subordinate place to the considerable cannon of work in the genre produced by a third brother, E. F. Benson, who was also a well-regarded author of other works including the humorous 'Mapp and Lucia' stories of upper-middle class 'one-upmanship'. Robert Benson was originally ordained a priest in the Church of England in 1895, but unusually became a Catholic priest in 1904. He nevertheless continued to write prolifically on a number of subjects which included religious matters, works of historical fiction and children's stories. Particularly highly regarded was 'Lord of the World' (1907) which is considered to be the first modern dystopian novel. His supernatural fiction, which despite its comparative obscurity is well worth the time of aficionados of the golden age of the genre, was principally gathered in two collections, 'The Light Invisible' and 'A Mirror of Shallot'. Selected stories have previously been combined with those of A. C. Benson in single volumes, but Leonaur has elected to publish the collected supernatural fiction of the brothers individually as they undoubtedly merit. Robert Benson died in 1914 aged 42 years of pneumonia.Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands.
