Dripping Honey is the story of a young boy's obsession with the
arrival of black American GIs into his hometown in 1942. He
experiences the infectious energy and distinctive rhythms imported
by the visitors and recounts the excitement, confusion, sexual
tension and racial confrontation which disrupt the stark routine of
working class family life. Based on a true story, Dripping Honey is
a stirring and sometimes heart-rending account of the vagaries of
wartime subsistence in Britain. It reveals the inexorable yielding
of adults to profit from adversity and is a reminder of children's
relentless pursuit of adventure.

Providing a much-needed perspective on exclusion and
discrimination, this book offers a distinct spatial approach to the
topic of hate studies. Of interest to academics and students of
human geography, criminology, sociology and beyond, the book
highlights enduring, diverse and uneven experiences of hate in
contemporary society. The collection explores the intersecting
experiences of those targeted on the basis of assumed and
historically marginalized identities. It illustrates the role of
specific spaces and places in shaping hate, why space matters for
how hate is encountered and the importance of space in challenging
cultures of hate. This analysis of who is able to use or abuse
space offers a novel insight into discourses of hate and lived
experiences of victimization.

For almost a half a century, scholars and practitioners have
debated what the connections should be between public
administration and the public. Does the public serve principally as
citizen-owners, those to whom administrators are responsible? Are
members of the public more appropriately viewed as the customers of
government? Or, in an increasingly networked world, do they serve
more as the partners of public administrators in the production of
public services? This book starts from the premise that the public
comes to government not principally in one role but in all three
roles, as citizens and customers and partners. The purpose of the
book is to address the dual challenge that reality implies: (1) to
help public administrators and other public officials to understand
the complex nature of the public they face, and (2) to provide
recommendations for how public administrators can most effectively
interact with the public in the different roles. Using this
comprehensive perspective, Citizen, Customer, Partner helps
students, practitioners, and scholars understand when and how the
public should be integrated into the practice of public
administration. Most chapters in Citizen, Customer, Partner include
multiple boxed cases that illustrate the chapter's content with
real-world examples. The book concludes with an extremely useful
Appendix that collects and summarizes the 40 Design Principles -
specific advice for public organizations on working with the public
as customers, partners, and citizens.

From enchanting downtown architecture to the spectacular Beartooth
Highway, Red Lodge wears its vibrant history with pride. A
coal-mining boom founded the city and attracted immigrant
populations between 1895 and 1920. John A[a¬ALiver-EatinA[a¬a[A[a¬A
Johnston
served as constable, and Buffalo Bill Cody, Calamity Jane, and
Frederic Remington paid visits. Though the coal boom eventually
faded, Red Lodge refused to become a ghost town. Cattle ranching
thrived in the
valleys and foothills, fostering such Rodeo Hall of Fame stars as
Turk, Alice, and Marge Greenough and Bill and Bud Linderman.
Meanwhile the road through the Beartooth Mountains to Yellowstone
National Park, completed in 1936, boosted tourism. Today events
such as the Fourth of July Home of Champions Rodeo and the August
Festival of Nations celebrate the heritage of this unique Montana
community.
You know you're in New Hampshire when . . .

New Hampshire has its own view of the world. Look through that lens
and learn 101 quintessential people, places, events, eats, and
traditions that help form the personality of the Granite State.
You'll find out when you can't eat, what to do when your lottery
winnings have antlers, and why combining French fries, cheese, and
gravy (among other things) has delicious consequences. Whether
you're a first-time visitor or a born-and-bred native, this book
will make you smile as you discover what it really means to be in
New Hampshire.
The purpose of this book is to seek a fuller understanding of how
the characterisation of Paul in Acts would have been perceived by
those who first read or heard the Lucan narrative. As the author
makes clear, the careful reader of Acts should be amazed at the way
St Paul is portrayed therein. Dr Lentz demonstrates, through a
careful examination of particular texts, the great improbability
that a Jew of strict Pharisaic background would have held, let
alone been proud of, Roman citizenship and citizenship of the city
of Tarsus. By investigating the social and legal expectations of
the first century, the author shows that Paul is seen to be
deferred to in matters of legal minutiae by those in positions of
authority. He is given high social status and abundant moral virtue
in order to attract to Christianity the high-ranking citizen who
would recognise in Paul the classical cardinal virtues.
Traditional theistic proofs are often understood as evidence
intended to compel belief in a divinity. John Clayton explores the
surprisingly varied applications of such proofs in the work of
philosophers and theologians from several periods and traditions,
thinkers as varied as Ramanuja, al-Ghazali, Anselm, and Jefferson.
He shows how the gradual disembedding of theistic proofs from their
diverse and local religious contexts is concurrent with the
development of natural theologies and atheism as social and
intellectual options in early modern Europe and America. Clayton
offers a fresh reading of the early modern history of philosophy
and theology, arguing that awareness of such history, and the local
uses of theistic argument, offer important ways of managing
religious and cultural difference in the public sphere. He argues
for the importance of historically grounded philosophy of religion
to the field of religious studies and public debate on religious
pluralism and cultural diversity.

Yellowstone is America's premier national park. Today is often a
byword for conservation, natural beauty, and a way for everyone to
enjoy the great outdoors. But it was not always this way.
Wonderlandscape presents a new perspective on Yellowstone, the
emotions various natural wonders and attractions evoke, and how
this explains the park's relationship to America as a whole.
Whether it is artists or naturalists, entrepreneurs or pop-culture
icons, each character in the story of Yellowstone ends up
reflecting and redefining the park for the values of its era. For
example, when Ernest Thompson Seton wanted to observe bears in
1897, his adventures highlighted the way the park transformed from
a set of geological oddities to a wildlife sanctuary, reflecting a
nation was concerned about disappearing populations of bison and
other species. Subsequent eras added Rooseveltian masculinity,
democratic patriotism, ecosystem science, and artistic inspiration
as core Yellowstone hallmarks. As the National Park system enters
its second century, Wonderlandscape allows us to reflect on the
values and heritage that Yellowstone alone has come to
represent-how it will shape the America's relationship with her
land for generations to come.
