This vibrant book displays 42 colour plates ranging from majestic views to intimate glimpses, all of which contribute to what we have come to think of as a distinctly American vision. 'American Landscapes' contains works by some of the most important figures in the history of American art, including the Hudson River School's Thomas Doughty and Asher B. Durand; European-influenced artists Theodore Robinson, William Lamb Picknell, and William Stanley Haseltine; and artists associated with major American artist colonies such as John Henry Twachtman, John Sloan, and Ernest Lawson. In addition, this volume features important highlights of the museum's unique collection of paintings by artists who lived and worked on Eastern Long Island, including William Merritt Chase, Samuel Colman, Irving Wiles and Frederick Childe Hassam, as well as contemporary painters Fairfield Porter, Jane Freilicher, and Alex Katz.
'First Impressions' features over 70 works by some of the leading "painter-etchers" of the 1880s including Thomas Moran and Mary Nimmo Moran, William Merritt Chase, Henry Farrer, Stephen Parrish, James D. and George H. Smillie, John Henry Twachtman, and Thomas Waterman Wood. These artists sought to imbue the traditionally rigid line of engraving with the freedom and spontaneity they expressed in their painting. This book includes some of the etching revival's most beautiful images, notably the atmospheric landscapes of Long Island's East End. Many of the prints in the Parrish's collection are bon a tirer, that is, the first impression that was fully acceptable to the artist and the printer. The quality of these works evokes the moment of complete artistic collaboration shared by artist and printer, when the 'master' print was pulled from the press.

"My heart begins its slow crescendo at the news. Mr. Brainerd - my Mr. Brainerd - has come at last." After a few scant years of solitary missionary work among the American Indians on the colonial frontier, David Brainerd has been forced off the field once more by his terminal illness. A man who has sacrificed every earthly comfort for the sake of Christ, he takes refuge in the home of Reverend Jonathan Edwards, eminent Great Awakening theologian and pastor... and the father of a young woman named Jerusha. Unbeknownst to David, Jerusha Edwards has nurtured an affection for him since she met him long ago. Their renewed acquaintanceship challenges Jerusha to understand the meaning of selfless, Calvary love. Yet does such love demand too great a sacrifice for her to make? Told with an emphasis on the known facts of Jerusha and David's relationship as well as his missionary undertakings, this novel carefully embellishes the historical record, weaving a bittersweet tale of romantic, holy devotion.

A maiden who must fulfill her duty. A man who thirsts for vengeance - and another who longs for forgiveness. Is there a place for each of them in God's house of mercy?When a hailstorm ruins her father's crops, Bethan goes as a kitchen servant to work off her family's debt to the local lord. Yet, in her first days at the old Roman fortress, Bethan meets two young men who are very different from the priest's son to whom she is betrothed - friends who have dark histories... and shrouded futures. Deoradhan has swallowed much of sorrow's cup and found it bitter. Haunted by his father's murder at the hands of one he trusted, alienated from the Roman God who betrayed him, burning to obtain his rightful throne in the rugged north, the young exile returns to Logress, where High King Arthur holds together a frail confederacy. There at Oxfield, Deoradhan's friend Calum seeks absolution for a deed he committed many years ago... a deed that ended in the death of one dearest to him and drove him from his home. Will Deoradhan stop at nothing to gain his rightful position? Is atonement possible for Calum after so many years? And what of those - including Bethan - whose lives have become interwoven with theirs?

With just $700 and a pickup truck, seventeen-year-old Steve Young created a multi-million dollar company in an industry that is fraught with crooks and gangsters but is also helping save the earth from environmental disaster. Steve Young was too busy creating his multi-million dollar business, Allan Company, to spend much time thinking about his place in his or his family's history. Starting at the age of seventeen with just $700 and a pickup truck, Steve worked 14-hour days, six or seven days a week, to build his empire out of the stuff that people and industries got rid of: scrap. Before 'recycling' became the mantra of environmentalists, scrap companies were doing just that and making money in the process, buying from companies eager to get rid of their production waste and selling to those eager to put it to use. Steve had been working in and around the industry since a kid and by the time he was a junior in high school, he was savvy enough to bet that he could create a future for himself in a crazy commodity that would always be plentiful. But sooner or later money attracts a criminal element and that was the case in the scrap business, especially in California after 1986 when the California Beverage Container Recycling Program was passed. This program created the California Redemption Value (CRV), a program reimbursing consumers a fee paid when purchasing eligible plastic bottles and aluminum cans. Pretty quickly, mafia-style gangsters were taking over businesses and threatening law-abiding scrap dealers. Steve Young has seen and done it all in the over 54 years since Allan Company's inception, from being one of the first West Coast scrap companies to sell to the very competitive mills in Asia to opening, buying or partnering in over 43 scrap and scrap-related businesses. He has stared down a gun-toting Russian-Chechen gangster with his own locked and loaded 9mm Glock. He is one of the most respected men in California's and the West Coast's scrap industry, has gone head-to-head with California's Environmental Protection Agency, worked on sting operations with the California Justice Department and lunched with the FBI. And finally, at the age of 60, Steve, a long-time lover of history, decided to delve into his own family's past and weave it into his very personal story. A story that began in Scotland over 144 years ago when twenty-year-old David Herbertson Young made his way to Liverpool, England and hopped aboard a steamship bound for the United States of America to start a new life and seek his fortune. Steve Young's story is a fascinating and timely subject sure to find a wide audience with lovers of the memoir as well as those interested in recycling, the environment and business in general. And for those seeking the formula for how to make their mark and fortune in business, this is definitely a true "rags to riches" story. But more than a tutorial on the recycling industry or making a success in business, SCRAP is the personal journey of a man who believes in respecting and learning from the past, the nobility of hard work, the importance of education and the necessity of trustworthy, honorable people guiding our schools, businesses and country into the future.
