Division and Mainstream Suspense/Mystery As a barrister in 1818
London, William Snopes has witnessed firsthand the danger of only
the wealthy having their voices heard, and he's a strong advocate
who defends the poorer classes against the powerful. That changes
the day a struggling heiress, Lady Madeleine Jameson, arrives at
his door. In a last-ditch effort to save her faltering estate, Lady
Jameson invested in a merchant brig, the Padget. The ship was
granted a rare privilege by the king's regent: a Letter of Marque
authorizing the captain to seize the cargo of French traders
operating illegally in the Indian Sea. Yet when the Padget returns
to London, her crew is met by soldiers ready to take possession of
their goods and arrest the captain for piracy. And the Letter--the
sole proof his actions were legal--has mysteriously vanished. Moved
by the lady's distress, intrigued by the Letter, and goaded by an
opposing solicitor, Snopes takes the case. But as he delves deeper
into the mystery, he learns that the forces arrayed against Lady
Jameson, and now himself, are even more perilous than he'd
imagined. "The Barrister and the Letter of Marque combines the
intrigue of John Grisham, the vibrant world of Charles Dickens, and
a mystery worthy of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. . . . This richly
historical and lively paced story has all the makings of a modern
classic."--JOCELYN GREEN, Christy Award-winning author of Shadows
of the White City "At once atmospheric and gripping, Johnson's
latest is a luminous and refreshing new offering in inspirational
historical fiction."--RACHEL MCMILLAN, author of The London
Restoration and The Mozart Code "A fascinating glimpse into a
Regency London readers seldom see."--ROSEANNA M. WHITE, bestselling
author of Edwardian fiction

This study explores the multiple ways in which Congressional
Cemetery has been positioned for some two hundred years in "the
shadow" of the U.S. Capitol. The narrative proceeds
chronologically, discussing the burial ground during three periods:
a) The antebellum years; b) The years from the end of the Civil War
to approximately 1970, when the site progressively deteriorated; c)
The period from the early 1970s to 2007, when both public and
private organizations worked to preserve the physical site and the
memory of what it has been and continues to represent. This
monograph on Congressional Cemetery focuses on the dominant
narrative associated with the site: its legacy as the first
national burial ground in the United States. Given this emphasis,
the text presents a political and cultural analysis of the
cemetery, with particular focus on the participation of the U.S.
Congress. "This book makes historians and many others aware of a
fascinating and complicated history. Moreover, it not only details
the long history of the cemetery, but it uses it to explore the
nature of historic memorials generally in the creation of national
memory." Steven Diner, Chancellor of Rutgers University at Newark.
"The Johnsons have done an excellent job of mining a wide range of
sources and conveying the complex history of an institution that
merits documentation... It's stunning to realize what a who's who
exists in that space." Howard Gillette, Professor Emeritus at
Rutgers University at Camden. "The history of Congressional
Cemetery is intimately tied up in the changing demographics of its
locale, and its corresponding decline as the neighborhood around
Christ Church changed led to its emergence as a cause celebre for
historic preservationists." Donald Kennon, Chief Historian for the
United States Capitol Historical Society, and editor of The Capitol
Dome.
A true story about a brothers horrifying struggle to stay alive. A
page turning, tearful and heartbreaking story of a young, brilliant
and talented man who had his whole life ahead of him; until he
heard the word AIDS.
Deepening Community Engagement in Higher Education demonstrates how
colleges and universities can enhance the engagement of their
students, faculty, and institutional resources in their
communities. This volume features strategies to make this work
deep, pervasive, integrated, and developmental, qualities
recognized by the Carnegie Classification guidelines and others in
higher education as best practice. The chapters share perspectives,
frameworks, knowledge, and practices of more than a dozen
institutions of higher education that practice community engagement
in sustained ways, drawing on their connections to more than two
decades' experience in the Bonner Foundation network. Perspectives
from these campuses and respected scholars and practitioners in the
field present proven models for student leadership and development,
sustained partnerships, faculty engagement, institutionalization of
campus centers, and changes to teaching and learning.
