Come take a journey through time to the hills of East Tennessee. See how simple life was over one hundred years ago in the town of Ovington. Watch its population suffer through World War I, Prohibition, the Depression, and World War II. Read about the city founders long and troublesome life and his experiences with love, compassion, and justice. Thomas Ovington had been a small but powerful man, and memories of him lived on as he left a community secured because he loved these people. Relearn the lesson of human spirit enduring adversity through the story of the patriarch of Ovington. Born in Ovington, Tennessee, Thomas Theodore Ovington was an only child of Willie Monroe and Laura Crawford Ovington. The town was located in the East Tennessee Mountains and was named after Thomass ancestors. As the protagonist of the story, Thomas was always able to meet adversity with strong demeanor. His father, Willie Monroe, was a harsh character and continually abused both Thomas and his mother. Thomas grew up unhappy and, as a result of this, animosity existed between him and his father. Willie Monroe had a mistress, a woman half his age, whom the town called Precious. Thomas hated her. When he was in his late teens and very handsome, Precious lusted after the younger Ovington. She found him alone on the mountain, stripped him of his clothing, and seduced him. Thomas, ashamed of his weakness, made up his mind that he would leave Ovington. He kissed his mother goodbye, and he traveled down the mountain until he came to a town called Lawsonville, Tennessee. Thomas befriended the Cannons, James and his daughter, Beth Marie. He loved James like a father. After James Cannon died, Thomas and Beth were married. Thomas made plans to move home to Ovington after the death of his father. He hired John Smithson, an architect who owned a big construction company, to build a beautiful home in which he and his wife could live. In 1912, Thomas moved Beth and her servants to Ovington. A few of the main characters that provide the story with much of its charisma/excitement are Dr. Newman and his wife, Betty; Constable Harrison; the Bollings; and Sarah and Roscoe Bennett, a dynamic evangelist. Thomas was known for his natty attire, was one of the most esteemed men in the eastern part of Tennessee, and was looked upon as a leader of this town.

Comparing the variant ideologies of the representations of India in seventeenth-century European travelogues, India in Early Modern English Travel Narratives concerns a relatively neglected area of study and often overlooked writers. Relating the narratives to contemporary ideas and beliefs, Rita Banerjee argues that travel writers, many of them avid Protestants, seek to negativize India by constructing her in opposition to Europe, the supposed norm, by deliberately erasing affinities and indulging in the politics of disavowal. However, some travelogues show a neutral stance by dispassionate ethnographic reporting, indicating a growing empirical trend. Yet others, influenced by the Enlightenment ideas of diversity, demonstrate tolerance of alien practices and, occasionally, acceptance of the superior rationality of the other's customs.

Shortly before his assassination, Martin Luther King Jr. called for a radical redistribution of economic and political power to transform the whole of society. In 1967, he envisioned and designed the Poor People’s Campaign, an interracial effort that was carried out after his death. This campaign brought together impoverished Americans of all races to demand better wages, better jobs, better homes, and better education. King and the Other America explores this overlooked and obscured episode of the late civil rights movement, deepening our understanding of King’s commitment to social justice and also of the long-term trajectory of the civil rights movement. Digging into earlier radical arguments about economic inequality across America, which King drew on throughout his entire political and religious life, Sylvie Laurent argues that the Poor People’s Campaign was the logical culmination of King’s influences and ideas, which have had lasting impact on young activists and the public. Fifty years later, growing inequality and grinding poverty in the United States have spurred new efforts to rejuvenate the campaign. This book draws the connections between King's perceptive thoughts on substantive justice and the ongoing quest for equality for all.

From antiquity to the nineteenth century, the royal hunt was a vital component of the political cultures of the Middle East, India, Central Asia, and China. Besides marking elite status, royal hunts functioned as inspection tours and imperial progresses, a means of asserting kingly authority over the countryside. The hunt was, in fact, the "court out-of-doors," an open-air theater for displays of majesty, the entertainment of guests, and the bestowal of favor on subjects. In the conduct of interstate relations, great hunts were used to train armies, show the flag, and send diplomatic signals. Wars sometimes began as hunts and ended as celebratory chases. Often understood as a kind of covert military training, the royal hunt was subject to the same strict discipline as that applied in war and was also a source of innovation in military organization and tactics. Just as human subjects were to recognize royal power, so was the natural kingdom brought within the power structure by means of the royal hunt. Hunting parks were centers of botanical exchange, military depots, early conservation reserves, and important links in local ecologies. The mastery of the king over nature served an important purpose in official renderings: as a manifestation of his possession of heavenly good fortune he could tame the natural world and keep his kingdom safe from marauding threats, human or animal. The exchanges of hunting partners—cheetahs, elephants, and even birds—became diplomatic tools as well as serving to create an elite hunting culture that transcended political allegiances and ecological frontiers. This sweeping comparative work ranges from ancient Egypt to India under the Raj. With a magisterial command of contemporary sources, literature, material culture, and archaeology, Thomas T. Allsen chronicles the vast range of traditions surrounding this fabled royal occupation.
