"Do unto others as ye would have them do unto you" are the words upon which Samuel M. Jones, self-made millionaire and mayor of Toledo, Ohio (1897-1904) organized his life, business, and political career. Unlike most progressive reformers, Jones was in a position to initiate real change. His factory workers shared in the profits and took advantage of day-care facilities for their children. As mayor, he was a nationally revered public figure who supported municipal ownership of utilities, ended the practice of jailing the homeless, and made available free legal counsel to those who needed it. Marnie Jones relies upon a rich collection of unpublished documents to tell the compelling story of the only man in America to have run a city on the principles of the Sermon on the Mount.

Sometime during the twentieth century, the self-mythology of the literary critic fused with that of the cowboy: lone outriders practising a defunct trade. In Holy Toledo! John Clegg tracks the critic's silhouette over the dangerous, sundrenched landscapes of New Mexico, California, Nashville, Utah, Oxford, Cambridge, and London. Here is Donald Davie listening to gospel radio in a Nashville taxi, and here is F.R. Leavis standing on a chair, 'unscrewing instead the world from round the lightbulb'. Vistas of bristlecone and citrus groves, pocked with fruit fl ies and rain birds, fuse with the glib-core of Oxbridge England, the university science labs where 'all three entrances felt like the back way'. Holy Toledo! is a history of English literary criticism in the twentieth century, a bestiary of the American Southwest, an unreliable guide to the desert. Generous, humorous, happily askew, Clegg's first Carcanet collection signals the flourishing of an 'emerging' poet as a major voice. 'No poet writing today matches John Clegg for wit and rigour. Holy Toledo! opens up a brilliant, uncanny frontier between the American West and the England of Empson, Davie and Woolf. Questioning language, rejoicing in it, Clegg's poetry plunges headfirst into the Great Tradition and comes out swinging.' (Dai George) 'Shaking off the dust of Cambridge, John Clegg spoors Bloomsbury, and then – Holy Toledo! – enters some western from another planet. Whatever horse he rides he makes it go, a lasso his modus operandi for capturing images.' (Marius Kociejowski)

18-year-old Claude Bealer enlists in the U.S. Navy during the Korean War and brushes against death, sees the world and learns a lot along the way. Stationed aboard the U.S.S. Toledo, he masters the art of sleeping three inches from the ceiling, firing a 50mm gun and occasionally breaking curfew without catching hell for it. In Claude's words, he's glad for the experience but he "wouldn't want to do it again." Includes numerous pictures of the U.S.S. Toledo, fellow crewmates and snapshots of the Far East circa 1950.

End of the World? The Second Coming? Nobody in Toledo or the rest of the world is quite sure. Strange patterns appear across the city that can only be seen from high above. Crosses lift from steeples and zoom through the clouds. A truck driver reports seeing a fifty-foot angel hover over a Waffle House near Interstate 75. Rumors are rampant, citizens are fleeing. Meanwhile, Malcolm, a cigar-chomping three-foot "messenger" from god-knows-where urges Shirley and boyfriend Nathan to have a baby. But not just any baby. This one will introduce something Malcolm likes to call the New Dawn, a bright new world with no problems. But there is a big problem for now-young Shirley is spokesperson for Abstinence Before Marriage and daughter of the conservative mayor who is in a tight race for re-election. And Nathan wants no part of the gig, hoping instead to strike it rich with one of his godawful screenplays. But he may not have a choice. After all, they are the Chosen Ones.

The Routledge Dictionary of Modern American Slang offers the ultimate record of modern, post WW2 American Slang. The 25,000 entries are accompanied by citations that authenticate the words as well as offer examples of usage from popular literature, newspapers, magazines, movies, television shows, musical lyrics, and Internet user groups. Etymology, cultural context, country of origin and the date the word was first used are also provided. In terms of content, the cultural transformations since 1945 are astounding. Television, computers, drugs, music, unpopular wars, youth movements, changing racial sensitivities and attitudes towards sex and sexuality are all substantial factors that have shaped culture and language. This new edition includes over 500 new headwords collected with citations from the last five years, a period of immense change in the English language, as well as revised existing entries with new dating and citations. No term is excluded on the grounds that it might be considered offensive as a racial, ethnic, religious, sexual or any kind of slur. This dictionary contains many entries and citations that will, and should, offend. Rich, scholarly and informative, The Routledge Dictionary of Modern American Slang and Unconventional English is an indispensable resource for language researchers, lexicographers and translators.
