Описание: Bright Star of the West traces the life, repertoire, and influence of Joe Heaney, Ireland's greatest sean-n�s ("old style") singer. Born in 1919, Joe Heaney grew up in a politically volatile time, as his native Ireland became a democracy. He found work and relative fame as a singer in London before moving to Scotland. Eventually, like many others searching for greater opportunity, he emigrated to the United States, where he worked as a doorman while supplementing his income with appearances at folk festivals, concerts and clubs. As his reputation and following grew, Heaney gained entry to the folk music scene and began leading workshops as a visiting artist at several universities. In 1982 the National Endowment for the Arts awarded Heaney America's highest honor in folk and traditional arts, the prestigious National Heritage Fellowship. Heaney's works did not become truly popular in his homeland until many years after his death. Today he is hailed as a seminal figure of traditional song and is revered by those who follow traditional music. Authors Sean Williams and Lillis � Laoire address larger questions about song, identity, and culture. They explore the deep ambivalence both the Irish and Irish-Americans felt toward the traditional aspects of their culture, examining other critical issues, such as gender and masculinity, authenticity, and contemporary marketing and consumption of sean-n�s singing in both Ireland and the United States. Comingling Heaney's own words with the authors' comprehensive research and analysis, Bright Star of the West weaves a poignant critical biography of the man, the music, and his continuing legacy in Ireland and the United States.

Описание: Near the end of his life, Roger Williams, Rhode Island founder and father of American religious freedom, scrawled an encrypted essay in the margins of a colonial-era book. For more than 300 years those shorthand notes remained indecipherable... ...until a team of Brown University undergraduates led by Lucas Mason-Brown cracked Williams code after the marginalia languished for over a century in the archives of the John Carter Brown Library. At the time of Williams writing, a trans-Atlantic debate on infant versus believers baptism had taken shape that included London Baptist minister John Norcott and the famous Puritan "Apostle to the Indians," John Eliot. Amazingly, Williams code contained a previously undiscovered essay, which was a point-by-point refutation of Eliots book supporting infant baptism. History professors Linford D. Fisher and J. Stanley Lemons immediately recognized the importance of what turned out to be theologian Roger Williams final treatise. Decoding Roger Williams reveals for the first time Williams translated and annotated essay, along with a critical essay by Fisher, Lemons, and Mason-Brown and reprints of the original Norcott and Eliot tracts.

Описание:
When Al Williams moved his family to the Jicarilla Apache Indian Reservation in Dulce, New Mexico, he did not know what to expect. Cool rushing mountain streams, majestic mountains, and enriching friendships were his reward. He became friends with Chief Baltazar as well as Ish Koten, the sheriff, and the Williams family had many happy, exciting and frightening experiences there. Northern New Mexico has become a mecca for the movie industry since then, but everyone who travels there learns the lessons so innocently taught by the Jicarillas-peace, determination, and loyalty.
