2ND EDITION .2017 Have you ever felt the subtle breath of the blithe wind?, been aware of its presence as it played posessingly along the base of the neck? That way it tickles the fine hairs. Of how just for a moment you are given the impression that you've been touched, that fingers have traced a line. . . is it some phantasm or something else entirely? Some intricate thing, albeit the faintest wings, or maybe a passing wisp? This is the feeling, the indistinct emotion left behind once you have been acquainted with Paper Lilies & Porcelain Butterflies, an impression as been left as though you have been touched without truly knowing by whom. . ., yet just for a moment there is a wondering sensation, a frolicking at base of your neck, a tickling of bewitchery. It is a refreshing touch of whimsy, a touch of magic in a world of all too crass reality. You are transported through the pages into differing scenarios of theatrics, forest floors, meadows, and romantics tethered along with bits of real world truth. There is a world of color glimpsed through a window from which beauty is cast, looking out onto a world of fantasy and amorous intrigue. Where Harmonious flow and delightful undertones are fettered together. It is a fanciful tale. A rarity of dramatic lyrics, limericks and telling poetics. To where will you be taken? To where would you like to go? Come, let me show you the way. As these delicately bewitching verses march on through wooded pages and encompass the very spirit of human nature, eating you in slowed consumption and beautiful artistry. Find within a showcase, a doorway into a blossoming imagination. Indulge with caution
3RD EDITION .2017 The Decadent Lie is not a book of secrets or some great abstact ledger overburdened of complex thought. It is a thing of beauty and regaling intimacy. There is a new and vibrant journey awaiting on every page. The writing is alive and playful. A wonderful revision of thought and artistry, showcasing the human condition in its varying moments of perfection and brokenness. Brought to life through the many facets of fleshed emotion and the awkward stumbling of the mind. This is a book to be indulged. Do you long for something beautiful, abundantly fulfilling and just the required amount of nostalgia? Then begin your pilgrimage here. In-between these pages you will find structure and mayhem occupying the same space as it strives to shine a light on the beautiful textures and complicated tapestry of this life. Every verse has its own bit of flesh and breath displayed openly for the reader. A harvest of poetic feast and lechery. It is the moral/ immoral. It is the sighing of a momentary elation written to bonded pages. A brief reflection of that first love, a moment yielded to a longing kiss, or the pure perfection of soiled fingertips. Delight yourself in the licentious fruit of the decadent as every line draws forth its own artistic imagery, its own bit of fascination and unadulterated wonder. Allow yourself a moments indulgence. It is its own finite bit of mastery, its own eloquent weaving of thought and obscurity. For the reader whom walks here, along this twisted path, let these lines fill you, eating deep into the very nature of you.
The persecution of Old World German Protestants and Anabaptists in the seventeenth century-following debilitating wars, the Reformation, and the Inquisition-brought about significant immigration to America. Many of the immigrants, and their progeny, settled in the Appalachian frontier. Here they established a particularly old set of religious beliefs and traditions based on a strong sense of folk spirituality. They practiced astrology, numerology, and other aspects of esoteric thinking and left a legacy that may still be found in Appalachian folklore today. Based in part on the author's extensive collection of oral histories from the remote highlands of West Virginia, Signs, Cures, and Witchery: German Appalachian Folklore describes these various occult practices, symbols, and beliefs; how they evolved within New World religious contexts; how they arrived on the Appalachian frontier; and the prospects of those beliefs continuing in the contemporary world. By concentrating on these inheritances, Gerald C. Milnes draws a larger picture of the German influence on Appalachia. Much has been written about the Anglo-Celtic, Scots-Irish, and English folkways of the Appalachian people, but few studies have addressed their German cultural attributes and sensibilities. Signs, Cures, and Witchery sheds startling light on folk influences from Germany, making it a volume of tremendous value to Appalachian scholars, folklorists, and readers with an interest in Appalachian folklife and German American studies.|The persecution of Old World German Protestants and Anabaptists in the seventeenth century-following debilitating wars, the Reformation, and the Inquisition-brought about significant immigration to America.

The Urban Heat Island (UHI) is an area of growing interest for many people studying the urban environment and local/global climate change. The UHI has been scientifically studied for 200 years and, although it is an apparently simple phenomenon, there is considerable confusion around the different types of UHI and their assessment. The Urban Heat Island—A Guidebook provides simple instructions for measuring and analysing the phenomenon, as well as greater context for defining the UHI and the impacts it can have. Readers will be empowered to work within a set of guidelines that enable direct comparison of UHI effects across diverse settings, while informing a wide range of climate mitigation and adaptation programs to modify human behaviour and the built form. This opens the door to true global assessments of local climate change in cities. Urban planning and design strategies can then be evaluated for their effectiveness at mitigating these changes.
My Heart Is Like a Cabbage: A Peace Corps Memoir

In August 1962, a group of Peace Corps Volunteers crossed the Atlantic Ocean to become teachers in the secondary schools of Sierra Leone, a little known country on the West Coast of Africa at that time. My Heart Is like a Cabbage recounts in painful detail the missteps one of those Volunteers made trying to respond to President John F. Kennedy's new experiment in foreign affairs: a cadre largely composed of young college graduates charged to work together with "the citizens of the world . . . for the freedom of man." Plucked from middleclass America and in the space of a day set down in the "White Man's grave," the author carries with him a troubling mixture of cynicism and idealism, naivet and the subconscious arrogance of his American birthright. Only marginally prepared for the teaching position he will assume and the cultural and language challenges he will face, he blunders into failed relationships with colleagues, students and other citizens of his host country. Regrettably, tutored as he has been during his college years in the mantra of carpe diem, he is drawn into an intimate relationship with one of his female students. As he searches for both his identity as a man and as an ambassador of his country, he ultimately must face the fact that he has failed at both.

In 1941, a real estate developer in northwest Detroit faced a dilemma. He needed federal financing for white clients purchasing lots in a new subdivision abutting a community of mostly African Americans. When the banks deemed the development too risky because of potential racial tension, the developer proposed a novel solution. He built a six-foot-tall, one-foot-thick concrete barrier extending from Eight Mile Road south for three city blocks--the infamous Birwood Wall. It changed life in West Eight Mile forever. Gathering personal interviews, family histories, land records and other archival sources, author Gerald Van Dusen tells the story of this isolated black enclave that persevered through all manner of racial barriers and transformed a symbol of discrimination into an expression of hope and perseverance.
