The only collection of photographs devoted to one of America's
natural treasures, Shenandoah: Views of Our National Park documents
one man's decades-long fascination with this uniquely beautiful
region in Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains. Hullihen Williams Moore
has been visiting Shenandoah National Park since the mid-1960s, but
it was after studying with Ansel Adams in 1979 that he began
seriously photographing it. Through fifty-one black-and-white
duotone photographic prints, Moore reveals the quiet beauty of
Shenandoah National Park. From grand vistas and waterfalls to the
delicate unfurling of new ferns, these photographs capture the
singular appeal that attracts 1.7 million visitors to the park each
year.
In two essays, Moore addresses the natural and human history of
the park as well as his own personal experience of it, including
the stories behind the individual images. The author has also
included a helpful appendix of technical details regarding the
photographs.
A limited edition accompanied by original photographic prints is
available from the artist at www.hullihenmoorephotography.com
World War II is enshrined in our collective memory as the good war
- a victory of good over evil. However, the bombing war has always
troubled this narrative as total war transformed civilians into
legitimate targets and raised unsettling questions such as whether
it was possible for Allies and Axis alike to be victims of
aggression. In Bombing the City, an unprecedented comparative
history of how ordinary Britons and Japanese experienced bombing,
Aaron William Moore offers a major new contribution to these
debates. Utilising hundreds of diaries, letters, and memoirs, he
recovers the voices of ordinary people on both sides - from
builders, doctors and factory-workers to housewives, students and
policemen - and reveals the shared experiences shaped by gender,
class, race, and age. He reveals how it was that the British and
Japanese public continued to support bombing elsewhere even as they
experienced firsthand its terrible impact at home.
Antislavery white clergy and their congregations. Radicalized
abolitionist women. African Americans committed to ending slavery
through constitutional political action. These diverse groups
attributed their common vision of a nation free from slavery to
strong political and religious values. Owen Lovejoy's gregarious
personality, formidable oratorical talent, probing political
analysis, and profound religious convictions made him the powerful
leader the coalition needed. Owen Lovejoy and the Coalition for
Equality examines how these three distinct groups merged their
agendas into a single antislavery, religious, political campaign
for equality with Lovejoy at the helm. Combining scholarly
biography, historiography, and primary source material, Jane Ann
Moore and William F. Moore demonstrate Lovejoy's crucial role in
nineteenth-century politics, the rise of antislavery sentiment in
religious spaces, and the emerging congressional commitment to end
slavery. Their compelling account explores how the immorality of
slavery became a touchstone of political and religious action in
the United States through the efforts of a synergetic coalition led
by an essential abolitionist figure.
