Born in 1893 into the only African American family in White Sulphur Springs, Montana, Emmanuel Taylor Gordon (1893–1971) became an internationally famous singer in the 1920s at the height of the Harlem Renaissance. With his musical partner, J. Rosamond Johnson, Gordon was a crucially important figure in popularizing African American spirituals as an art form, giving many listeners their first experience of black spirituals. Despite his fame, Taylor Gordon has been all but forgotten, until now. Michael K. Johnson illuminates Gordon’s personal history and his cultural importance to the legacy of the Harlem Renaissance, arguing that during the height of his celebrity, Gordon was one of the most significant African American male vocalists of his era. Gordon’s story—working in the White Sulphur Springs brothels as an errand boy, traveling the country in John Ringling’s private railway car, performing on vaudeville stages from New York to Vancouver to Los Angeles, performing for royalty in England, becoming a celebrated author with a best-selling 1929 autobiography, and his long bout of mental illness—adds depth to the history of the Harlem Renaissance and makes him one of the most fascinating figures of the twentieth century. Through detailed documentation of Gordon’s career—newspaper articles, reviews, letters, and other archival material—the author demonstrates the scope of Gordon’s cultural impact. The result is a detailed account of Taylor’s musical education, his career as a vaudeville performer, the remarkable performance history of Johnson and Gordon, his status as an in-demand celebrity singer and author, his time as a radio star, and, finally, his descent into madness. Can’t Stand Still brings Taylor Gordon back to the center of the stage.

Music industry insiders on the nature of fame Our cultural darlings make music; we make them mythic. Every musical genre begets a community of listeners, performers, and critics, and quite often those categories are blurred. From the principled punk refusal of celebrity to hip-hop's celebration of its power, the music world is self-obsessed. Stars Don't Stand Still in the Sky assembles scholars, music writers, industry workers, and musicians, who offer a range of opinions and experience of the nature of fame. The collection focuses on commerce, the crowd, performance and image, history and memory, and romance. Contributors discuss black women icons, love-songs, the legacy of the blues, the image of the tortured rock star, MTV, the politics of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the joy of line-dancing, and more. The contributors are James Bernard, Anthony DeCurtis, Katherine Dieckmann, Chuck Eddy, Paul Gilroy, Daniel Glass, Lawrence Grossberg, Jessica Hagedorn, Kathleen Hanna, James Hannaham, Dave Hickey, Jon Langford, Greil Marcus, Angela McRobbie, Paul D. Miller (a.k.a. DJ Spooky), Barbara O'Dair, Ann Powers, Toshi Reagon, Simon Reynolds, Robert Santelli, Jon Savage, Danyel Smith, Arlene Stein, Deena Weinstein, and Ellen Willis.

Prayer has long had an action component to it. There are many ways we can pray that involve our senses and our bodies. Journaling, skipping rocks, drawing, singing, touching, dancing, even walking can be acts of prayer. William Tenny-Brittian, himself diagnosed with adult ADHD, goes back to ancient times and into the techno-generation to share ten types of kinesthetic prayer that will help even the most fidgety connect with God. He has filled Prayer for People Who Can't Sit Still with ideas, easy-to-follow instructions, and ways to adapt kinesthetic prayer to most any situation and "personal limitation." Kinesthetic prayer can also have profound effects on the prayer life of children and youth. Prayer for People Who Can't Sit Still is a valuable resource in children's and youth ministries, helping these action-oriented age groups to find ways to build relationships with God. A relationship takes time together, says William Tenny-Brittian. Prayer for People Who Can't Sit Still is written to help you spend more meaningful time with God.

“Simon Winchester never disappoints, and The Men Who United the States is a lively and surprising account of how this sprawling piece of geography became a nation. This is America from the ground up. Inspiring and engaging.” —Tom Brokaw Simon Winchester, acclaimed New York Times bestselling author of Atlantic and The Professor and the Madman, delivers his first book about America: a fascinating popular history that illuminates the men who toiled fearlessly to discover, connect, and bond the citizenry and geography of the U.S.A. from its beginnings. How did America become “one nation, indivisible”? What unified a growing number of disparate states into the modern country we recognize today? To answer these questions, Winchester follows in the footsteps of America’s most essential explorers, thinkers, and innovators, such as Lewis and Clark and the leaders of the Great Surveys; the builders of the first transcontinental telegraph and the powerful civil engineer behind the Interstate Highway System. He treks vast swaths of territory, from Pittsburgh to Portland, Rochester to San Francisco, Seattle to Anchorage, introducing the fascinating people who played a pivotal role in creating today’s United States. Throughout, he ponders whether the historic work of uniting the States has succeeded, and to what degree. Featuring 32 illustrations throughout the text, The Men Who United the States is a fresh look at the way in which the most powerful nation on earth came together.

To the person holding this book in your hand, no matter what type of relationship you may be involved in, always remember Jesus Christ is the foundation of all relationships! Within the body of Christ, leaders, counselors, and everyone else are telling you what the Bible says concerning being in relationships. Yes, you understand what the Bible says, but when your relationships are at a standstill, you ask yourself the question, “What do I do? How do I apply what the Bible says?” It does not matter what country you are from, your nationality, or your church affiliation, and this is also for those who do not have a church affiliation. This is written for everyone that is involved in relationships. You will be able to read it and walk away knowing that you can take things mentioned throughout this book and apply them to your own life. Whether you are male or female, young or old, there is something for everyone. Single? Desiring a great relationship? Are you in a relationship that is causing deep pain? Gain insight that will prepare you for relationships with nonbelievers and believers. Gain insight that will prepare you for marriage. Gain wisdom and insight for effective communication. Learn techniques to become more pleasing to God. Learn how to restore peace in your life and how to forgive those that are destroying your happiness. Each chapter is designed to deal with everyday common situations. For those whose emotions are running wild with anger, frustration, and hate, chapter 6, “Just Love Them,” is for you. This chapter will make you look deep into your heart and soul. Individuals filled with resentment and unforgiveness, you will learn how to love according to the will of God and let go of tradition. You might even be in an unhealthy relationship or simply not be able to forgive. This book will help you find guidance based on the foundation of Jesus Christ. By faith, shipwrecked lives of men and women, young and old, will be restored. Many believers that are in relationships know how to apply the Word of God when their relationships are at a standstill.

They do not always live and conduct themselves as a child of God or say the correct things or respond with the right attitude toward those they are in relationships with. They have to hear time after time again from others, “I thought you were a Christian. I thought you were a born-again believer.” This book is for you!

Victor has been invited to spend a month's holiday aboard William's luxury motor yacht along with a group of twenty-somethings, Mike, Anna, Danii and Carmen. On the return voyage they experience a sudden freak storm and meteor shower. They head for sanctuary on the Scilly Isles where the situation becomes more mysterious. Unable to discover what has happened, the group sail to the mainland, unaware that they are about to enter an altered world. William had been prepared for things to be different anyway. The taxman was about to seize his father's estate after he'd disappeared two years earlier whilst sailing in the Bermuda Triangle. However, in the aftermath, William gets a reprieve and invites everyone to stay at Poffington Hall in Oxfordshire until things get back to normal. The men begin to take advantage of their new situation. Victor embarks on a plan to get himself a girl, something he failed to do on the holiday and Mike, who is a scientist, restarts work on his pet project, the Suspended Animation Ray. William begins a quest to destroy all the nasty paperwork relating to Poffington and goes to great lengths to expand his wine collection. Set in mid 21st century, this is a comic, post-apocalyptic adventure with an original and quirky plot.

These poems, essentially about memories, are an attempt to give voice to some reflections through words. These are vignettes of events and situations that drift like clouds. Memories – some deeply personal and some recalled objectively – stay etched in the remote corners of our minds. They accompany us almost all the time, as we tend to recall the past. Most of these poems have no dates or mention of any event. However, some of them talk about particular episodes, not necessarily personal experiences, which have registered themselves indelibly in the poet’s mind. We all have memories – good and bad, bitter and sweet. And we long only for the fond ones, and want to forget those which are painful...but in vain. Sometimes, these memories visit us in our darkness and make us gloomy while at times, they offer us a ray of hope. As we recount a whiff, its fragrance stays with us.
