Few teams in Georgia high school football can document their
history as far back as the Bulldogs. Cedartown High School played
its first game at the turn of the century, kicking off a historic
tradition that endures today. Join author William Austin, born and
raised in Cedartown, as he recounts the history of this proud
football program. Austin covers the careers of expert coaches like
Doc Ayers and John Hill and highlights the star players and crucial
games that helped shape Cedartown's legacy of tough play on the
gridiron. From that first game in 1900 to the 1946 conference
champions, through the 1963 state champion team and all the way to
the 2001 state championship game, here for the first time is the
history of Bulldogs football.
In bringing together the most characteristic and serious writings
by black scholars, authors, journalists, and educators from the
years that preceded the modem civil rights movement,
'African-American Social and Political Thought' provides a
comprehensive guide to the range and diversity of black thought.
The volume offers a deep history of how the terms of contemporary
debate over the future of black Americans were formed. The writings
assembled here reveal a tension and a thread between two essential
poles of thought. These include those voices that clearly projected
civic assimilation as the goal of black aspiration, and those who
described how this aim would be achieved, as well as nationalist or
separatist voices that despaired of ever having a dignified future
in a biracial society. These two positions reflect the most
fundamental questions faced by any minority group. In his forceful
and courageous introduction to this new edition, Howard Brotz
relates the thoughts and reflections of these black thinkers to the
social and political situation of blacks in America today and
argues against the political orthodoxy and sociological determinism
that perpetuates the image of the black as a perennial and passive
victim. In the scope and quality of its contents, African-American
Social and Political Thought is a unique, invaluable source book
for cultural historians, sociologists, and students of black
history.
Planet of the Apes (1968)
Charlton Heston and Roddy McDowall star in this legendary science fiction masterpiece. Astronaut Taylor (Heston) crash lands on a distant planet ruled by apes who use a primitive race of humans for experimentation and sport. Soon Taylor finds himself among the hunted, his life in the hands of a benevolent chimpanzee scientist (McDowall).
Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970)
In the acclaimed sequel to Planet of the Apes, another astronaut (James Franciscus) crashes through the time barrier searching for the missing Taylor. The daring rescue leads to a subterranean city where mutant humans, who practice mind control, worship a weapon capable of destroying the entire planet. Both an action-oriented science-fiction adventure and a wry commentary on today's world, it's imaginative entertainment for fantasy buffs of all ages.
Escape From the Planet of the Apes (1971)
Roddy McDowall and Kim Hunter reprise their roles from the original Planet of the Apes in this third chapter of the Apes saga.

They become instant sensations, wined and dined and treated like celebrities--until a high-level plot forces them to run for their lives.
Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972)
Colourful, futuristic sets, a relentless pace and an action-packed climax highlight the fourth episode of the legendary Apes saga, starring Roddy McDowall and Ricardo Montalban. The time is the near future. Apes have supplanted dogs and cats as household pets, and replaced servants as personal assistants--until their continual mistreatment provokes one advanced ape from the future, Caesar (McDowall), to lead a spectacular revolt. It's thrilling science fiction that offers both a serious message and stirring entertainment.
Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973)
Roddy McDowall and Claude Akins star in the fifth chapter of the legendary Apes saga. Set in 2670 A.D., an idyllic society of man and ape is threatened by both a militant gorilla (Akins) and a tribe of still-intelligent mutant humans. Finally, simmering tensions dividing the primates erupt in an apocalyptic climax. When the smoke clears, the carnage is everywhere, but there is hope for a new beginning for man and ape. Co-starring John Huston, Paul Williams, and Lew Ayres.
