Early settlers first called this area Boldface Hill, for a Native
American chieftain, but the name was soon changed to Priceas Hill,
named after Rees Price and his family, who were among the first
city dwellers to see the residential potential of the area. Reesas
father, Evan Price, speculated in land west of the city, and his
son opened a brickyard and sawmill to serve the building boom. In
1874, Reesas sons John and William built an inclined plane to make
the commute up the hill easier. With improved transportation, the
communityas population soared, mostly because the air was cleaner
up on the hill than it was downtown. Strong community roots were
quickly seeded and have since grown. Schools such as Seton, Elder,
and Western Hills each have a large number of supportive alumni.
Catholic and Protestant churches were built, as well as two
synagogues. Businesses were started, and two libraries grew with
the population. Residents were active in politics, social clubs,
and civic associations. The first Skyline Chili opened here and was
named for the stunning view of Cincinnati this hill offers. Other
local favorites are Price Hill Chili and the Crowas Nest. Through
more than 200 photographs and illustrations, readers can see for
themselves the roots of this great community.

Many readers are convinced that the Psalms are hopelessly
"masculine," especially given that seventy-three of the 150 psalms
begin with headings linking them to King David. In this volume,
Denise Dombkowski Hopkins sets stories about women in the Hebrew
Bible alongside Psalms 42-89 as "intertexts" for interpretation.
The stories of women such as Hannah, Rahab, Tamar, Bathsheba,
Susanna, Judith, Shiphrah, Puah, and the Levite's concubine can
generate a different set of associations for psalm metaphors than
have traditionally been put forward. These different associations
can give the reader different views of the dynamics of power,
gender, politics, religion, family, and economics in ancient Israel
and in our lives today that might help to name and transform the
brokenness of our world. From the Wisdom Commentary series Feminist
biblical interpretation has reached a level of maturity that now
makes possible a commentary series on every book of the Bible. It
is our hope that Wisdom Commentary, by making the best of current
feminist biblical scholarship available in an accessible format to
ministers, preachers, teachers, scholars, and students, will aid
all readers in their advancement toward God's vision of dignity,
equality, and justice for all. The aim of this commentary is to
provide feminist interpretation of Scripture in serious, scholarly
engagement with the whole text, not only those texts that
explicitly mention women. A central concern is the world in front
of the text, that is, how the text is heard and appropriated by
women. At the same time, this commentary aims to be faithful to the
ancient text, to explicate the world behind the text, where
appropriate, and not impose contemporary questions onto the ancient
texts. The commentary addresses not only issues of gender (which
are primary in this project) but also those of power, authority,
ethnicity, racism, and classism, which all intersect. Each volume
incorporates diverse voices and differing interpretations from
different parts of the world, showing the importance of social
location in the process of interpretation and that there is no
single definitive feminist interpretation of a text.

A captivating and insightful account of Dr Max Price’s journey at the helm of a major South African university during a period of immense upheaval.
As Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cape Town for two terms from 2008 to 2018, he offers a candid look at the challenges he faced during his time including transformation, rights of artistic expression, institutional culture, clemencies and amnesties, restorative justice and ethical decision, and of course, #FeesMustFall protests – which shook the country's higher education sector to its core.
Drawing on his experiences, Price delves into the complexities of multi-stakeholder decision-making, crisis management, and the importance of values such as academic freedom in an increasingly polarised world. Part memoir, part insider's view of history, and part leadership guide, Statues and Storms is a must-read for anyone interested in higher education, South African history, or the art of leadership during times of crisis.

This guidebook describes 50 spectacular walks spanning the breadth
of the Dolomites mountains in northeast Italy. Carefully selected
to give walkers a taste of the unique character of the local area,
each walk can be tackled in a single day, allowing visitors to
travel light and return to their accommodation at day's end. Graded
from easy to strenuous, there are walks for all abilities, ranging
from 3km hour-long lake strolls and lift-assisted short walks to
20km full-day high-altitude hikes. Most routes take in mountain
huts offering refreshments and accommodation, and the guide
includes notes on food and drink, history, folklore, nature and
geology. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Dolomites are easily
accessible by train via Austria and Italy, and by air via Verona,
Venice, Treviso and Innsbruck airports. From the iconic peaks of
Tre Cime di Lavaredo and throne-like Pelmo to the Queen of the
Dolomites, the Marmolada, and the fairytale Brenta Dolomites, this
guide includes the key valleys and gateway towns for accessing the
mountains, along with details of public transport options to reach
the trailhead.
