John Wesley's most representative collection on Christian
Perfection. ' Now let this perfection appear in its native form,
and who can speak one word against it? Will any dare to speak
against loving the Lord our God with all our heart, and our
neighbor as ourselves? Against a renewal of heart, not only in
part, but in the whole image of God? Who is he that will open his
mouth against being cleansed from all pollution both of flesh and
spirit; or against having all the mind that was in Christ, and
walking in all things as Christ walked? What man, who calls himself
a Christian, has the hardiness to object to the devoting, not a
part, but all our soul, body, and substance to God?'

John Wesley wrote this series of sermon commentaries to help people
understand Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. It took him over 15 years to
complete this important work. Over time changes within the English
language caused some of these writings to be very difficult for the
average person to read and were really only suited for the most
dedicated theologian. through careful and sensitive editing Claire
Weakley, Jr. has brought these sermons back to life for every
reader in the modern world to be able to enjoy and understand
Wesley's insights and teachings regarding the Sermon on the Mount.
Thanksgiving, the quintessential American holiday, is a time to
rethink the values on which the United States was founded. Here it
is presented through nearly 900 photos depicting 3,400 diverse
images. Ranging from the nineteenth century to the present day,
this comprehensive assortment includes platters, plates,
decorations, postcards, candy containers, decanters, toys, turkey
calls, and more. The turkey itself is exhaustively portrayed in
ceramic, glass, pottery, paper, and wood. Also featured are items
related to special Thanksgiving Day events, such as football games,
parades, and "turkey trots." Informative captions serve as
miniature history lessons and also provide current values. This
book is the first of its kind and will be the ultimate reference
for all who treasure the deep traditions of this cherished holiday.

Biography/Autobiography "A powerful and poignant memoir." Cornel
West, from the foreword "John Carlos is an American hero. And
finally he has written a memoir to tell us his story and a powerful
story it is. I couldn't put this book down." Michael Moore Seen
around the world, John Carlos and Tommie Smith's Black Power salute
on the 1968 Olympic podium sparked controversy and career fallout.
Yet their show of defiance remains one of the most iconic images of
Olympic history and the Black Power movement. Here is the
remarkable story of one of the men behind the salute, lifelong
activist John Carlos. John Carlos is a former track and field
athlete and professional football player, and a founding member of
the Olympic Project for Human Rights. He won the bronze medal in
the 200-meter race at the 1968 Olympics, where his Black Power
salute on the podium with Tommie Smith caused much political
controversy. Dave Zirin is the author of four books, including Bad
Sports: How Owners are Ruining the Games We Love, A Peoples'
History of Sports in the United States, and What's My Name, Fool?

"Slightly Unbalanced" surveys the prevalence of psychological
neurosis as a subject in contemporary art. During the past 15
years, inspired by the work of several prominent older artists, a
younger generation has expanded the contemporary art vocabulary to
encompass a subject that is now well known by the general public.
Cumulatively, they make use of psychology as a kind of lingua
franca--we all know what the symptoms of neurosis are, if not the
particular diagnoses. Beginning with historical work by Louise
Bourgeois, Mike Kelley, Bruce Nauman and Cindy Sherman and
proceeding to more recent work by artists including Alex Bag,
Sophie Calle, Beth Campbell, Harry Dodge and Stanya Kahn, Sarah
Hobbs, Sean Landers, Cary Leibowitz, Dave McKenzie, Tony Oursler,
Danica Phelps, William Pope.L, Ada Ruilova, Ward Shelley and David
Shrigley, this exhibition catalogue encompasses the range of media
prevalent today: video art, installations, photographs, paintings
and drawings.
One of the great works of American exploration literature, this account of a scientific expedition forced to survive famine, attacks, mutiny, and some of the most dangerous rapids known to man remains as fresh and exciting today as it was in 1874. The Exploration of the Colorado River and Its Canyons, recently ranked number four on Adventure magazine’s list of top 100 classics, is legendary pioneer John Wesley Powell’s first-person account of his crew’s unprecedented odyssey along the Green and Colorado Rivers and through the Grand Canyon. A bold foray into the heart of the American West’s final frontier, the expedition was achieved without benefit of modern river-running equipment, supplies, or a firm sense of the region’s perilous topography and the attitudes of the native inhabitants towards whites.
