"Good places are shaped by the gifts of nature and by the labor and love of many people over generations. The city of Bloomington, tucked away in the forested hills of southern Indiana, is one such place. Three of us who have worked here, played here, reared children here, and set our roots right down to the limestone bedrock made this book to chronicle and celebrate our home town." Thus begins Bloomington Past and Present, a volume that anyone who has lived in--or even just passed through--this memorable city will want to have and pass down to future generations of Bloomingtonians. Photojournalist Will Counts gathered some of his own photographs taken over a long career, along with photographs by more than a dozen other fine artists. Some drawn from archives, some taken recently, these images capture the city's people and places. The essay "Loving This Place" by Scott Russell Sanders leads the reader on a walk through Bloomington today, evoking the feel of the city, its human fabric and natural setting. In "Old Times and New Times in Bloomington," James H. Madison writes about what Bloomington once was, tracing changes in the community from the 19th century on through today's complex and vibrant civic scene. "Across from the fire station and post office rises the limestone mass of First Methodist, the grandest of our churches, one known for fine music and powerful preaching. In general, as you move west from here to the far fringes of Bloomington, the preaching becomes hotter and hotter, ranging from Baptists and African Methodist Episcopalians on through various brands of evangelicals, apostolics, and Pentecostals; and as you move east from here the preaching generally becomes cooler, ranging from Presbyterians and Episcopalians, through Catholics and Lutherans, on out to the Quakers, who keep their silence." --Scott Russell Sanders "There were Bloomington residents at the beginning of the twenty-first century who had heard the Metropolitan Opera perform Aida in the University Auditorium in 1942; given their sex histories to Alfred Kinsey in the 1940s; subjected their teeth to the stannous fluoride tests that produced Crest toothpaste in the early 1950s; listened to Gene McCarthy and Bobby Kennedy explain why the Vietnam War was wrong in 1968; heard not only Elvis but also Bill Monroe, the Supremes, and Ray Charles; participated eagerly in a new curbside recycling program begun in the early 1990s; bought sushi and tofu at the grocery store; and listened to the Dalai Lama more than once. The small town in southern Indiana was hardly isolated or ordinary." --James H. Madison

Alex Stone is unemployed, divorced and broke. In his desperation he remembers how he and his now ex-wife thought of a ploy to obtain a very valuable wrist watch from his father before their divorce. Unfortunately his father is now resident in a care home suffering from dementia. Alex leaves the hostel where he is living and makes his way to North Wales where he finds work and a place to live, sharing an apartment with a youngish woman who works at the home. She is seeking romance; Alex isn’t. Alex’s ex-wife, Judith, has the same idea. She persuades her new partner and daughter to accompany her to North Wales. Both she and Alex plan to use their daughter’s forthcoming eighteenth birthday as the reason for James Stone to relinquish the watch. Both are desperate for money and a competition ensues. James has lost the watch. This fact leads the competitors to put pressure on care home staff, the local police and the local vicar. The watch is finally found but problems only multiply especially after James dies. Surprisingly the final outcome is positive for James and his daughter.

A result of more than fifteen years of research and study, Prophecy: Past, Present, and Future examines the Bibles Book of Daniel and its predictions of some of historys major events. Author Calev Ben Avraham explains how God uses the royalty as signposts in the prophetic time elementknown by only a few biblical scholarsthus making it possible to pinpoint the exact time in prophecy for the end of days and the ending of Gentile rule over the earth. In Prophecy: Past, Present, and Future, Avraham refers to the Babylonian dynasty of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon; Cyrus, king of the Persians; Alexander, the great emperor of Greece; and the emergence of Christianity under the Roman emperor Constantine. Through the Book of Daniel, he shows how the prophecy pertains not only to abdication for the royals but also to death by fatal accidents, such as Princess Grace and Princess Diana of England. He also explains how God will gather his people from the four corners of the earth back to the Holy Land in the very, very near future. Expand your study of prophecy and gain a new understanding of the years to come.

This is a book that must be read by everyone. The young and the old. Parents, Preachers and teachers. It explains how and why the lives of our youths has changed so dramatically. The change in their way of dressing, the change in their behavior, their character, and their lack of concern for their education. The fact that making a dollar selling drugs, joining a gang, or committing murder means more to them than self respect, or respecting their parents, or any other adult.

Integrated History and Philosophy of Science (iHPS) is commonly understood as the study of science from a combined historical and philosophical perspective. Yet, since its gradual formation as a research field, the question of how to suitably integrate both perspectives remains open. This volume presents cutting edge research from junior iHPS scholars, and in doing so provides a snapshot of current developments within the field, explores the connection between iHPS and other academic disciplines, and demonstrates some of the topics that are attracting the attention of scholars who will help define the future of iHPS.

This book is about memory—about how the past persists into the present, and about how this persistence has been understood over the past two centuries. Since the French Revolution, memory has been the source of an intense disquiet. Fundamental cultural theories have sought to understand it, and have striven to represent its stresses.

This ground-breaking book takes as its focal point director Ken Loach's view that 'The only reason to make films that are a reflection on history is to talk about the present.' In the first book to take on this major genre in all its complexity, James Chapman argues that historical films say as much about the times in which they are made as about the past they purport to portray. Through in-depth case studies of fourteen key films spanning the 1930s up to the turn of the twenty first century, from The Private Life of Henry VIII and Zulu to Chariots of Fire and Elizabeth, Chapman examines the place of historical films in British cinema history and film culture. Looking closely at the issues that they present, from gender, class and ethnicity to militarism and imperialism, he also discusses controversies over historical accuracy, and the ways in which devices such as voice overs, title captions, and visual references to photographs and paintings assert a sense of historical verisimilitude. Exploring throughout the book the dialectical relationship between past and present, Chapman reveals how such films promote British achievements - but also sometimes question them - and how they project images of 'Britishness' to audiences both in the UK and internationally.
