""Most Americans living today never heard Ed Murrow in a live
broadcast. This book is for them I want them to know that broadcast
journalism was established by someone with the highest standards.
Tabloid crime stories, so much a part of the lust for ratings by
today's news broadcasters, held no interest for Murrow. He did like
Hollywood celebrities, but interviewed them for his entertainment
programs; they had no place on his news programs. My book is
focused on this life in journalism. I offer it in the hope that
more people in and out of the news business will get to know Ed
Murrow. Perhaps in time the descent from Murrow's principles can be
reversed.""
--Bob Edwards
Patriarchy (the male domination of women) is an oppressive cultural
norm with a history that predates Christianity. Fortunately, it is
fading from our global community. Unfortunately, it persists in the
religious traditions of some corners of the institutional church.
This book examines how patriarchy became enshrined in church
tradition, both Catholic and Protestant. It also explores why male
domination continues to oppress women in the church today. It
concludes by offering women and men an egalitarian alternative to
patriarchy, best exemplified by the life and teachings of Jesus
Christ. In this second edition of the book, the author delves more
deeply into issues related to Bible translation and the cultural
context of the New Testament church.
"Living Up in a Down World" explores the experience of life, our
attitudes and perspective from a Biblical viewpoint, and provides a
basic outline for the path to achieving a lifetime of peace and
fulfillment.
Pastor and counselor Dr. Bob Edwards has observed the damaged
emotions of others for over two decades and offers a step-by-step
approach to overcoming the emptiness created by a culture permeated
with negativity and relativism. Dr. Bob draws inspiration from
Scripture and personal anecdotes to encourage positive change as he
shares healing methods intended to relieve the inner hurts created
by being "just plain human." For those who may try to fill an empty
void with unhealthy relationships, fame, fortunes, sex, alcohol or
food, Dr. Bob leads the way to discovering a simple, humorous
approach to living a fulfilling and purposeful existence surrounded
with God-created peace.
For those looking for inspiration and a deeper understanding of
themselves, this guide will help spiritual seekers apply Christian
principles and learn to view the world through upward thinking and
eternal eyes, ultimately setting a new course in life to live UP in
a down world
Bob Edwards, the Great White North's equivalent to H. L. Mencken,
remains a singular figure in Canadian journalism. His newspapers,
published in Wetaskiwin, Leduc, High River, Strathcona, Winnipeg,
Port Arthur, and most famously Calgary, skewered politics, society,
and business leaders with a fearlessness and outrageousness rarely
seen then, now, or in between.As editor James Martin points out in
his illuminating introduction, Bob Edwards seems more modern the
farther back in history he recedes; he was the granddaddy of Gonzo
Journalism a la Hunter S. Thompson, a freewheeling cultural critic
in the spirit of Lester Bangs, a pioneer of satirical reform as
evidenced in "Frank "magazine, and a spoofer of the po-faced
reporting of his day in precisely the same way that "The Onion" is
now."Irresponsible Freaks, Highball Guzzlers and Unabashed
Grafters" features mountains of Edwards's superb aphorisms, a
generous helping of his longer and lesser-known works, and some
choice items which have never before seen print, as well as
miraculous archival discoveries and many cartoons from Edwards's
celebrated "Eye Opener." It is a welcome addition to the Bob
Edwards canon for those who thought they knew everything about him,
and an eye-opening introduction to the uninitiated: "He was writing
this stuff a hundred years ago "
Coalitions across Borders shows how social movements have
cooperated and conflicted as they work to develop a transnational
civil society in response to perceived threats of
neoliberalism--free trade, privatization, structural adjustment,
and unbridled corporate power. The authors explore the processes of
transnational mobilization, discussing the motivations and methods
of cross-border cooperation as well as the conflicts that have
affected movement abilities to promote social change. The original
case studies included in this volume represent a diverse cross
section of transnational movement coalitions--from various regions
and nations, representing different movement interests, and
addressing a range of economic injustices. Coalitions across
Borders reveals the many social conditions that enable and
constrain the formation of transnational civil societies and the
ways in which movement actors manage conflicts as they work toward
common goals.
For more than fifty years Red Barber was the voice of baseball. The
game was broadcast sporadically until the late 1930s, when Barber
burst into prominence by bringing it home to radio listeners, play
by play. More than half a century later, he could still be heard,
broadcasting over National Public Radio from his retirement home in
Tallahassee. Announcing for the Brooklyn Dodgers and later for the
New York Yankees, he became a legend long before his death in 1992.
Red's story reveals the growth and changes in baseball over the
years, the demands of sportscasting, and the difference between
radio and television reporting. Here is Red giving major
play-by-plays of his own life and career with characteristic wit
and integrity.
