He was known simply as the Blind Traveler. A solitary, sightless
adventurer, James Holman (1786-1857) fought the slave trade in
Africa, survived a frozen captivity in Siberia, hunted rogue
elephants in Ceylon, helped chart the Australian outback--and,
astonishingly, circumnavigated the globe, becoming one of the
greatest wonders of the world he so sagaciously explored. A Sense
of the World is a spellbinding and moving rediscovery of one of
history's most epic lives--a story to awaken our own senses of awe
and wonder.

The paperback edition of the novel based on the groundbreaking
musical by Jason Robert Brown and Dan Elish, 13, a story about
friendship, fitting in, and what it means to turn thirteen. Soon to
be a movie-musical streaming on Netflix! "No one said becoming a
man was easy." Evan didn't expect relevant life advice from Rabbi
Weiner, who looks so old that he must have gone to yeshiva with
Moses. But wondering what it means to become a man is the least of
Evan's problems. After being uprooted right before his thirteen
birthday from New York City to Appleton, Indiana, he's more focused
on using this fresh start to find the right friends to invite to
his bar mitzvah. Because this is his chance to get in with the
popular kids-the cool football players and pretty cheerleaders. But
it's the weird kids who welcome him, like his nerdy neighbor
Patrice and Archie, whose crutches and muscular dystrophy make him
an easy target for bullying. Evan doesn't want to be laughed at for
being different. He can pretend to be like the cool kids; he's sure
he can. But if you spend all your time pretending to be someone
else, who do you become? In this story of acceptance and
friendship, Evan prepares for his bar mitzvah, grapples with his
father's affair, and learns from his rabbi, all the while presented
with various images of what it means to be a man. While he
struggles to fit in with the popular boys at school, he eventually
learns that being cool is not as important as being a good
friend-and a good person. With relatable humor and accessible
language, and at a consumable length, this book is perfect for all
tweens and especially boys looking for a relatable read. Netflix
has announced an adaptation of the Broadway musical that inspired
13: A Novel. Jason Robert Brown will be returning to compose new
music for the show, and the cast includes Rhea Perlman, Josh Peck,
Debra Messing, and Peter Hermann.

(Applause Libretto Library). An emotionally powerful and intimate
musical about two New Yorkers in their twenties who fall in and out
of love over the course of five years. The show's unconventional
structure consists of Cathy, the woman, telling her story backwards

characters meet only once, at their wedding in the middle of the
show. Jason Robert Brown won Drama Desk Awards for the music and
the lyrics after the Off-Broadway premiere in 2002 starring Norbert
Leo Butz and Sherie Rene Scott. The show has since been produced at
almost every major regional theater in the U.S., and has been seen
in Korea, Japan, the Philippines, Germany, Italy, Canada, Spain,
and the UK.
Self-reflection meets creativity in this newest installment in the
bestselling 642 series. Featuring quirky autobiographical writing
prompts that encourage users to write what you know,"this engaging

Roots of Reform provides a thorough examination of the impact of
the English Reformation through a detailed analysis of medieval and
early modern church fittings surviving at parish churches located
throughout the county of Norfolk in England. By utilizing an
archaeological approach along with the written record, a deeper and
more nuanced understanding of public worship reveals the
theological imperatives of the reformers and conformers. This study
compiled data from both rural and urban parish churches which
provides a regional approach to engaging the issues of visuality,
space and identity. Church fittings were selected based on their
liturgical function and propensity to feature decorative
iconography. This includes baptismal fonts, screens, wall
paintings, and sculptures. Through an extensive analysis of church
fittings, this research is the first to suggest that the
Bible-centric component to Protestant theology provided the
framework which contributed to the success of the Reformation. The
religious identity of England was transformed as visual continuity
enabled an entire generation to continue their religious experience
in a traditional context despite the moderate alteration to liturgy
and comprehensive transformation of doctrine. This criterion eased
the transition, as liturgical continuity and selective iconoclasm
forged a new physical religious environment that retained enough
elements to satiate traditionalist. Furthermore, an assessment of
post-Reformation innovations reveals the use of vernacular Biblical
text as a preferred mode of decoration, with an increase in the use
of secular heraldry and commemoration directly on church fittings.
In this volume, Jason Radcliff examines T. F. Torrance's reading of
