Bob Dylan: Mixing Up the Medicine is an unprecedented glimpse into
the creative life of one of America’s most groundbreaking,
influential, and enduring artists. Several years ago, a treasure
trove containing some 6,000 original Bob Dylan manuscripts was
revealed to exist. Their destination? Tulsa, Oklahoma. The
documents, as essential as they are intriguing—draft lyrics,
notebooks, and diverse ephemera — comprise one of the most
important cultural archives in the modern world. Along with
countless still and moving images and thousands of hours of
riveting studio and live recordings, this priceless collection now
resides at The Bob Dylan Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, just steps away
from the archival home of Dylan’s early hero, Woody Guthrie.
Nearly all the materials preserved at The Bob Dylan Center are
unique, previously unavailable, and, in many cases, even previously
unknown. As the official publication of The Bob Dylan Center, Bob
Dylan: Mixing Up the Medicine is the first wide-angle look at the
Dylan archive, a book that promises to be of vast interest to both
the Nobel Laureate’s many musical fans and to a broader national
and international audience as well. Edited by Mark Davidson and
Parker Fishel, Bob Dylan: Mixing Up the Medicine focuses a close
look at the full scope of Dylan’s working life, particularly from
the dynamic perspective of his ongoing and shifting creative
processes—his earliest home recordings in the mid-1950s right up
through Rough and Rowdy Ways (2020), his most recent studio
recording, and into the present day. The centerpiece of Bob Dylan:
Mixing Up the Medicine is a carefully curated selection of over 600
images including never-before-circulated draft lyrics, writings,
photographs, drawings and other ephemera from the Dylan archive.
With an introductory essay by Sean Wilentz and epilogue by Douglas
Brinkley, the book features a surprising range of distinguished
writers, artists, and musicians, including Joy Harjo, Greil Marcus,
Michael Ondaatje, Gregory Pardlo, Amanda Petrusich, Tom Piazza, Lee
Ranaldo, Alex Ross, Ed Ruscha, Lucy Sante, Greg Tate and many
others. After experiencing the collection firsthand in Tulsa, each
of the authors was asked to select a single item that beguiled or
inspired them. The resulting essays, written specifically for this
volume, shed new light on not only Dylan’s creative process, but
also their own.
This book explores different theories of justice and explains how
these connect to broader geographical questions and inform our
understanding of urban problems. Since philosophers like Socrates
debated in the ancient agora, cities have prompted arguments about
the best ways to live together. Cities have also produced some of
the most vexing moral problems, including the critical question of
what obligations we have to people we neither know nor affiliate
with. The first part of this book outlines the most well-developed
answers to these questions: the justice theories of Utilitarianism,
Libertarianism, Liberalism, Marxism, Communitarianism,
Conservativism, and recent "post" critiques. Within each theory, we
find a set of geographical propensities that shape the ways
purveyors of the theories see the city and its moral problems. The
central thesis of the book is therefore that competing moral
theories have distinct geographical concerns and perspectives, and
that these propensities often condition how the city and its
injustices are understood. The second part of the book features
three studies of contemporary urban problems – gentrification,
segregation, and (un)affordability – to demonstrate how
predominant justice theories generate distinctive moral and
geographical interpretations. This book therefore serves as an
urbanist’s guide to justice theory, written for undergraduates
and postgraduates studying human geography, urban and municipal
planning, urban theory and urban politics, sociology, and politics
and government.

The next end times event foretold in the book of Daniel is a Middle
East invasion by Iran. Using a story centered around conversations
likely to take place as people come to terms with events, Iran's
Great Invasion helps us understand the times we live in and those
to come.
Daniel Revisited makes the case that the ancient book of Daniel
reveals four specific events to occur in the Middle East in the end
times prior to the Tribulation. This new look at old assumptions
about prophecy and plain reading of Scripture combines a
comprehensive study of relevant history with the fresh perspective
of today's current events. Not only does it show that the
Antichrist will be Muslim, it also identifies four events the
author calls Signposts which will occur in a series leading right
up to the Tribulation. The first event involving Iraq has already
occurred. The second of the four events will be the invasion of the
whole Middle East by Iran. The fourth event will witness the
Antichrist's emergence.
