Book Award finalist and Eisner-nominated cartoonist Ellen T.
Crenshaw! Stacey is so excited! Her friends from The Baby-sitters
Club are coming to New York City for a long weekend. It's going to
be perfect -- a party and a sleepover on Friday night, a big
baby-sitting job on Saturday, and lots of sightseeing throughout.
But it turns out that the baby-sitters are way out of place in the
big city. Mary Anne sounds like a walking guidebook, Dawn is afraid
of everything, Kristy can't keep her mouth shut, Claudia is jealous
of Laine -- Stacey's New York best friend -- and Mallory and Jessi
feel intimidated by Stacey's classmates. With ten kids to baby-sit
and a full schedule of activities, how will Stacey keep the weekend
from becoming a complete disaster?

The biblical psalms are perhaps the most commented-upon texts in
human history. They are at once deeply alluring and deeply
troubling. In this addition to the acclaimed Brazos Theological
Commentary on the Bible, a highly respected scholar offers a
theological reading of Psalms 1-50, exploring the various voices in
the poems to discern the conversation they engage about God,
suffering, and hope as well as ways of community belonging. The
commentary examines the context of the psalms as worship--tending
to both their original setting and their subsequent Jewish and
Christian appropriation--and explores the psychological dynamics
facing the speaker. Foreword by William P. Brown.

Social media platforms are often denounced as “bubbles” or
“echo chambers.” In this view, what we see tends to reinforce
what we already believe, and what we already believe shapes what we
see. Yet social movements such as Black Lives Matter rely heavily
on the widespread dissemination of digital photographs and videos
through social media. In at least some cases, visual images can
challenge normative and normalized ways of grasping the world and
prompt their viewers to see differently—and even bring people
together. Seeing and Believing marshals religious resources to
recast the significance of digital images in the struggle for
social justice. Ellen T. Armour examines what distinguishes digital
photography from its analogue predecessor and places the
circulation of digital images in the broader context of virtual
visual cultures. She explores the challenges and opportunities that
visually saturated social media landscapes present for users and
organizers. Despite the power of digital platforms and algorithms,
possibilities for disruption and resistance emerge from how people
engage with these systems. Armour offers ways of seeing drawn from
Christianity and found in other religious traditions to help us
break with entrenched habits and rethink how we engage with the
images that grab our attention. Developing theological perspectives
on the power and peril of photography and technology, Seeing and
Believing provides suggestions for navigating the new media
landscape that can spark what Armour calls “photographic
insurrection.”

Seventeen studies by noted experts that demonstrate recent
approaches toward the creative interpretation of primary sources
regarding Renaissance and Baroque music, Mozart, Beethoven,
Mendelssohn, Verdi, Debussy, and beyond. How do we know what notes
a composer intended in a given piece? -- how those notes should be
played and sung? -- the nature of musical life in Bach's Leipzig,
Schubert's Vienna? -- how music related to literature and other
arts and social currents in different times and places? -- what
attitudes musicians and music lovers had toward the music that they
heard and made? We know all this from musical manuscripts and
prints, opera libretti, composers'letters, reviews in newspapers
and magazines, archival data, contemporary pedagogical writings,
essays on aesthetics, and much else. Some of these categories of
sources are the bedrock of music history and musicology. Others
havebegun to be examined only in recent years. Furthermore,
musicologists -- including biographers of famous composers -- now
explore these various kinds of sources in a variety of ways, some
of them richly traditional and others exciting and novel. These
seventeen essays, all newly written, use a wide array of source
materials to probe issues pertaining to a cross section of musical
works and musical life from the sixteenth through the twentieth
centuries. The resulting, pluralistic profile of current musicology
will prove welcome to anyone fascinated by the problems of
reconstructing -- reimagining, sometimes -- the evanescent musical
art of the past and pondering its implications for musical life
today and in the future. Roberta Montemorra Marvin is a Research
Fellow at the Obermann Center for Advanced Studies at the
University of Iowa where she is also Director of the Institute for
Italian Opera Studies; Stephen A. Crist is associate professor and
chair of the Music Department at Emory University.
During his lifetime, the sounds of Handel s music reached from
court to theater, echoed in cathedrals, and filled crowded taverns.
But the man himself known to most as the composer of Messiah is a
bit of a mystery. Though he took meticulous care of his musical
manuscripts and provided for their preservation in his will, very
little of an intimate nature survives. In search of the private man
behind the public persona, Ellen T. Harris has tracked down the
letters, diaries, financial accounts, court cases, and other
documents connected with the composer s closest friends. The result
is a tightly woven tapestry of London life in the first half of the
eighteenth century, one that weaves together vibrant descriptions
of Handel s music with stories of loyalty, cunning, and betrayal.
With this wholly new approach, Harris introduces us to an
ambitious, shrewd, generous, brilliant, and flawed man."
Fresh and innovative takes on the dissemination of music in
manuscript, print, and, now, electronic formats, revealing how the
world has experienced music from the sixteenth century to the
present. This collection of essays examines the diverse ways in
which music and ideas about music have been disseminated in print
and other media from the sixteenth century onward. Contributors
look afresh at unfamiliar facets of the sixteenth-century book
trade and the circulation of manuscript and printed music in the
seventeenth to nineteenth centuries. They also analyze and critique
new media forms, showing how a dizzying array of changing
technologies has influenced what we hear, whom we hear, and how we
hear. The repertoires considered include Western art music -- from
medieval to contemporary -- as well as popular music and jazz.
Assembling contributions from experts in a wide range of fields,
such as musicology, music theory, music history, and jazz and
popular music studies, Music in Print and Beyond: Hildegard von
Bingen to The Beatles sets new standards for the discussion of
music's place in Western cultural life. Contributors: Joseph Auner,

The Animal Rescue Friends gang is back with ten sweet tales about
their furry, feathered, and flying friends! Join Bell, Maddie,
Noah, and the rest of the Animal Rescue Friends as they learn to
love an affectionate rat named Whiskers, find Sergio the tortoise a
forever home that's just his speed, fall for the antics of a chatty
parrot with a familiar name, and more! Along the way, they make a
few new friends and learn that everyone--even insects--can
sometimes use a helping hand.
Applies the notion of musical "voice" to diverse repertoires,
ranging from the operas and cantatas of Handel to the autograph
albums of nineteenth-century collector Charlotte de Rothschild. The
concept of musical voice has been a subject of controversy in
recent decades, as the primacy of the composer's place in the
creation of the work has been called into question. The essays in
Word, Image, and Song: Essays onMusical Voices take the notion of
musical voice as a starting point, and apply it in varying ways to
diverse repertoires and music-historical circumstances, ranging
from the operas and cantatas of Handel to the autograph albums of
nineteenth-century collector Charlotte de Rothschild. Rather than
attributing interpretive control to the composer, performer, or
audience alone, these essays present a range of interpretive
strategies with respect to the various voices that one might hear
and understand as emerging from a musical work: the composer's
voice, the performer's voice, the patron's voice, the collector's
voice, and the social or receptive voice. Contributors: Bathia

The ten essays in Literature and the Arts explore the
intermedial plenitude of eighteenth-century English culture,
honoring the memory of James Anderson Winn, whose work demonstrated
how seeing that interplay of the arts and literature was essential
to a full understanding of Restoration and eighteenth-century
English culture. Scenery, machinery, music, dance, and texts
transformed one another, both enriching and complicating generic
distinctions. Artists were alive to the power of the arts to
reflect and shape reality, and their audience was quick to turn to
the arts as performative pleasures and critical lenses through
which to understand a changing world. This collection's eminent
authors discuss estate design, musicalized theater, the visual
spectacle of musical performance, stage machinery and set designs,
the social uses of painting and singing, drama’s reflection of a
transformed military infrastructure, and the arts of memory and of
laughter.
In such works as "Gender Trouble" and "Bodies That Matter"
Judith Butler broke new ground in understanding the construction
and performance of identities. While Butler's writings have been
crucial and often controversial in the development of feminist and
queer theory, "Bodily Citations" is the first anthology centered on
applying her theories to religion. In this collection scholars in
anthropology, biblical studies, theology, ethics, and ritual
studies use Butler's work to investigate a variety of topics in
biblical, Islamic, Buddhist, and Christian traditions. The authors
shed new light on Butler's ideas and highlight their ethical and
political import. They also broaden the scope of religious studies
as they bring it into conversation with feminist and queer
theory.
Subjects discussed include the woman's mosque movement in Cairo,
the ordination of women in the Catholic Church, the possibility of
queer ethics, religious ritual, and biblical constructions of
sexuality.

This work presents, in an easy-to-use tabular format, a complete
list of the 25,000 persons who bought land in southwestern Ohio and
eastern Indiana through the Cincinnati Land Office between the
years 1800 and 1840. Data furnished with each entry includes the
name of the purchaser, date of purchase, place of residence at the
time of purchase, and the range, township, and section of the
purchased land, thus enabling the researcher to ascertain the exact
location of an ancestor's land. Previously, in locating a settler
in southwestern Ohio, the researcher was obliged to spend hours if
not days searching through numerous volumes of unindexed land
records, but with this volume the task is reduced to seconds.
In 1785 lands of the Northwest Territory were offered for sale to
the public. By 1800 four land offices were established and sales
from the Zanesville office, which included tracts originally
reserved for the Marietta and Steubenville offices and, more
importantly, parts of the United States Military District, reserved
for veterans of the Revolutionary War, form the basis of this
volume. In addition, this volume also includes records from the
Steubenville office for the period 1820-1840, the first twenty
years of sales records having already been published.In tabular
format this volume has a complete list of 22,770 persons who bought
land in central and east central Ohio between 1800 and 1840. Data
includes the name of the purchaser (in alphabetical order), date of
purchase, place of residence at the time of purchase, and the
range, township, and section of the purchased land, thus enabling
the researcher to ascertain the exact location of the ancestor's
land see also Items 480 and 481).

Synopsis: The Austin Dogmatics brought the theology of Karl Barth
to the United States in an accessible and forceful statement of the
most exciting theology of the day. In addition, the yearlong course
of lectures proposed a radical theology of Christian mission and
ministry to the American churches that grew from the author's three
years of working in the inner city. While at times hammering home a
single point, the lectures often flower into a passionate
homiletical style that is still captivating half a century later.
Publication of the Austin Dogmatics fills a gap in American
theological history. In 1963, the author published The Secular
Meaning of the Gospel, which the press identified with the death of
God movement. While the author denied the association, the Austin
Dogmatics explains how he moved from the strict Barthianism of his
early period to the linguistic analysis of his middle period. His
late and perhaps most important work that lay ahead was yet in
another direction entirely, making van Buren one of the most
versatile and adventuresome American theologians of the second half
of the twentieth century. The current publication includes personal
reminiscences by friends and colleagues after the author's passing.
Endorsements: "This hitherto unpublished cycle of early career
lectures makes absorbing reading for those interested in the
reception of Barth's theology as well as for those concerned with
constructive doctrinal work . . . Here we catch a glimpse of how a]
deep admiration for Barth's theological achievement inspired van
Buren] to a vigorous practical dogmatics." --John Webster,
Professor at University of Aberdeen Author Biography: Paul van
Buren was Assistant Professor of Theology at the Episcopal Seminary
of the Southwest (1957-1960) when he wrote the Austin Dogmatics and
Associate Professor there (1960-1964) when he wrote The Secular
Meaning of the Gospel. He was later Professor of Religion at Temple
University (1964-1986) when he wrote the trilogy A Theology of the
Jewish-Christian Reality. Ellen Charry is the Margaret W. Harmon
Professor of Theology at Princeton Theological Seminary. Her most
recent book is God and the Art of Happiness (2010).
