Notes. DJ has slight wear and soiling. A leading voice of Christians in this country offers a prophetic indictment against America's pursuit of individual spiritualities to the exclusion of any social responsibility for the common good, as well as the lack of political options for believers who want to link their personal ethics to social justice. From Wikipedia: "Jim Wallis (born June 4, 1948) is a Christian writer and political activist. He is best known as the founder and editor of Sojourners magazine and as the founder of the Washington, D.C.-based Christian community of the same name. Wallis is well known for his advocacy on issues of peace and social justice. Although Wallis actively eschews political labels, he describes himself as an evangelical and is often associated with the evangelical left and the wider Christian left. He works as a spiritual advisor to President Barack Obama. He is married to the Rev. Joy Carroll, who was one of the first female priests in the Church of England. He is also a leader in the Red-Letter Christian movement. Born in Detroit, Michigan, and raised in a traditional evangelical Plymouth Brethren family, as a young man Wallis became active in Students for a Democratic Society and the civil rights movement. Wallis graduated from Michigan State University and attended Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Illinois, where he joined with other young seminarians in establishing the community that eventually became Sojourners. The journal Sojourners originated in Deerfield, Illinois as The Post American in 1971. Wallis wrote in 1974 that, "The new evangelical consciousness is most characterized by a return to biblical Christianity and the desire to apply biblical insights to the need for new forms of sociopolitical engagement." Wallis was invited by Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) to give the Democrats' weekly radio address on Saturday, December 2, 2006. He spoke about the importance of moral leadership in Washington, and touched on a variety of social concerns. In February 2007 he wrote in Time about the post-Religious Right era and the resurgence of mainstream Christianity, with evangelicals "deserting the Religious Right in droves". Wallis has served on the Advisory Council to President Barack Obama's Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. He serves as a spiritual adviser to President Obama. In addition to President Obama, Wallis has developed personal friendships with former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd. In 2010, Wallis admitted to accepting money for Sojourners from philanthropist George Soros after initially denying having done so. When conservative writer Marvin Olasky pointed this out, and that Soros also financed groups supporting abortion, atheism, and same-sex marriage, in a WORLD magazine column, Wallis said Olasky "lies for a living"; he subsequently apologized to Olasky for the comments. In 2011, Wallis acknowledged that Sojourners had received another $150,000.00 from Soros' Open Society Foundation. In 2010, expressing concern about the growing polarization in American politics, Wallis and other Christian leaders agreed to a document entitled "A Covenant for Civility." Wallis has been arrested 22 times for acts of civil disobedience. He was involved in antiwar activism during the Vietnam War, and wrote in 1974 that it was a "brutal, criminal war." Wallis has received criticism for calling the United States "a fallen nation" in his 1976 book Agenda for Biblical People. Wallis' writings are regularly published as op-eds in major media outlets. He is also the convener of Call to Renewal, an interfaith effort to end poverty. He has written a wide variety of books including The Great Awakening. Reviving Faith & Politics in a Post-Religious Right America (2008), God's Politics: Why the Right Gets It Wrong and the Left Doesn't Get It (2005), and Faith Works: How Faith Based Organizations Are Changing Lives, Neighborhoods, and America (2000)., HarperSanFrancisco, 2005, Berkeley, California: University of California Press, 2008.

From dust jacket: From Ruth Bryan Owen, Floridas first congresswoman, and Mary McLeod Bethune, founder of Bethune-Cookman College, to Betty Mae Tiger Jumper, the first chairwoman of the Seminole Tribe, and Marjoy Stoneman Douglas, champion of the Everglades, Making Waves examines the lives and works of women activists who made a significant impact on Florida in the last century. This collection enriches our understanding of the history of modern Florida and the role women played in it. To a degree greater than any other southern state in the twentieth century, Florida experienced dramatic economic, political, social, and environmental challenges, and Floridas women were in the forefront of the great social and political responses to those challenges. These thirteen essays describe the contributions made by women in urban renewal, civil liberties, civil rights, child welfare, labor unions, education, environmental protection, rural extension work, and womens liberation. By illuminating the involvement of the states women in many of these fundamental issues, Making Waves provides a long overdue chapter in Floridas history. It will also contribute to the advancement of the study of womens history by examining womens activism in a variety of contexts and illustrating how this activism was often circumscribed by class and racial bias., University Press of Florida, (2003).

Having by that time become a clearly-focused science-fiction periodical, Fantastic Science Fiction Stories was in December of 1959 edited by Cele Goldsmith. Magazine founder Howard Browne had established the periodical in 1952, naming it Fantasy-one of the small forest of pulp fiction-era periodicals whose magazine names were often so similar as to be confusing. This one itself bore a variety of names, from Fantastic to Fantastic Science Fiction, Fantastic Science Fiction Stories, Fantastic Stories of Imagination, Fantastic: Science Fiction - Fantasy and Fantastic Stories, all as part of the effort by Browne, in both title and content, to maximize the interested demographic. Not affiliated with this magazine were the similar pulp titles Fantastic Novels, Fantastic Science Fiction (an unrelated two-issue 1952 effort bearing a title identical name to one of the above Ziff-Davis titles], Fantastic Story Magazine, Fantastic Story Quarterly, Fantastic Universe, and the elder statesmen of pulps beginning with "Fantastic", Fantastic Adventures and Famous Fantastic Mysteries. Goldsmith's editorial predecessor Paul W. Fairman, less diffident about science fiction than Browne, gave the magazine a greater focus in that direction during his watch. By the time of Goldsmith's tenure, the semi-lurid symbols of female pulchritude which almost always bedecked the covers of pulp periodicals were gone, and, as with this issue, straight sci-fi illustrations had become the cover art of Fantastic Science Fiction Stories. Lead story in this issue is Poul Anderson's "A Message in Secret", and it occupies some sixty pages. A piece of pulp sci-fi history, in nice condition.

Book Description The first book devoted entirely to women in bluegrass, Pretty Good for a Girl documents the lives of more than seventy women whose vibrant contributions to the development of bluegrass have been, for the most part, overlooked. Accessibly written and organized by decade, the book begins with Sally Ann Forrester, who played accordion and sang with Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys from 1943 to 1946, and continues into the present with artists such as Alison Krauss, Rhonda Vincent, and the Dixie Chicks. Drawing from extensive interviews, well-known banjoist Murphy Hicks Henry gives voice to women performers and innovators throughout bluegrass's history, including such pioneers as Bessie Lee Mauldin, Wilma Lee Cooper, and Roni and Donna Stoneman; family bands including the Lewises, Whites, and McLains; and later pathbreaking performers such as the Buffalo Gals and other all-girl bands, Laurie Lewis, Lynn Morris, Missy Raines, and many others. Editorial Reviews From Booklist For too many years, bluegrass was considered a "man's music." But as this impressive history of women in bluegrass clearly indicates, women have been a big part of bluegrass since its earliest days, even when they were ignored by the media and fellow musicians. Henry herself is a banjo player and teacher as well as founder of the Women in Bluegrass newsletter. Many of the more than 70 women in Henry's book have been sadly overlooked. What most people don't know, she points out, is that when Earl Scruggs, Bill Monroe, and Lester Flatt created the Blue Grass Boys in 1945, they were accompanied by Sally Ann Forrester on accordion, and there are plenty of other similar examples. Among the bluegrass women profiled here are Rose Maddox, the Stonemans, Hazel Dickens and Alice Gerrard, and the Buffalo Gals, along with Alison Krauss and the Dixie Chicks. In all, a much-needed addition to the bluegrass canon. --June Sawyers --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. Review "A ground-breaking biographical and cultural history."--Publishers Weekly "Determination and drive is a theme pervading this book: these women are significantly engaged in their music making, not as female bluegrass musicians but as bluegrass musicians in general. Highly recommended."--Choice, University of Illinois Press, 2013, Gilcrease Museum, Tulsa: 2013. Softcover. Brand new book. Woodrow Wilson Crumbo and the oilman Thomas Gilcrease met for the first time at the Mayo Hotel in Tulsa in 1945. Gilcrease would eventually persuade the young Crumbo to join him as an artist-in-residence at the nascent Thomas Gilcrease Museum. Potawatomi, French and German by birth, Crumbo was orphaned young and fostered within various Native traditions. His genius knew no tribal borders, but he supported and promoted Indian art and artists throughout his life, as an educator, director of art at Bacone College, consultant to Gilcrease, and an early adopter of printmaking methods that expanded the audience for Native fine art. The Gilcrease Museum has the honor of possessing the largest extant body of Crumbo's delightful and finely crafted work, which is celebrated and interpreted within the pages of this book. Robert Perry sits on the Council of Elders of the Chickasaw Nation. He is author of The Turkey Feather Cape: My Creation from Beyond History and Life with the Little People, winner of The Native Writers Circle of the Americas First Book Award for Prose. Minisa Crumbo Halsey has exhibited extensively in the United States and Europe, including in an invitational tour of the USSR that presented multicultural portraits, symbolic Native images, and original poetry. She is founder of the Moon Circle Teachings Group and author/illustrator of Beloved Woman. She is most proud of The Lost Female Fire, a synthesis of Spirit-centered and contemporary vision-oriented practices. She lives in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with her husband Jim Halsey, Impressario. Ruthe Blalock Jones is a Shawnee traditionalist, artist, and retired Art Director at Bacone College.

A leading voice of Christians in this country offers a prophetic indictment against America's pursuit of individual spiritualities to the exclusion of any social responsibility for the common good, as well as the lack of political options for believers who want to link their personal ethics to social justice. From Wikipedia: "Jim Wallis (born June 4, 1948) is a Christian writer and political activist. He is best known as the founder and editor of Sojourners magazine and as the founder of the Washington, D.C.-based Christian community of the same name. Wallis is well known for his advocacy on issues of peace and social justice. Although Wallis actively eschews political labels, he describes himself as an evangelical and is often associated with the evangelical left and the wider Christian left. He works as a spiritual advisor to President Barack Obama. He is married to the Rev. Joy Carroll, who was one of the first female priests in the Church of England. He is also a leader in the Red-Letter Christian movement. Born in Detroit, Michigan, and raised in a traditional evangelical Plymouth Brethren family, as a young man Wallis became active in Students for a Democratic Society and the civil rights movement. Wallis graduated from Michigan State University and attended Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Illinois, where he joined with other young seminarians in establishing the community that eventually became Sojourners. The journal Sojourners originated in Deerfield, Illinois as The Post American in 1971. Wallis wrote in 1974 that, "The new evangelical consciousness is most characterized by a return to biblical Christianity and the desire to apply biblical insights to the need for new forms of sociopolitical engagement." Wallis was invited by Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) to give the Democrats' weekly radio address on Saturday, December 2, 2006. He spoke about the importance of moral leadership in Washington, and touched on a variety of social concerns. In February 2007 he wrote in Time about the post-Religious Right era and the resurgence of mainstream Christianity, with evangelicals "deserting the Religious Right in droves". Wallis has served on the Advisory Council to President Barack Obama's Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. He serves as a spiritual adviser to President Obama. In addition to President Obama, Wallis has developed personal friendships with former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd. In 2010, Wallis admitted to accepting money for Sojourners from philanthropist George Soros after initially denying having done so. When conservative writer Marvin Olasky pointed this out, and that Soros also financed groups supporting abortion, atheism, and same-sex marriage, in a WORLD magazine column, Wallis said Olasky "lies for a living"; he subsequently apologized to Olasky for the comments. In 2011, Wallis acknowledged that Sojourners had received another $150,000.00 from Soros' Open Society Foundation. In 2010, expressing concern about the growing polarization in American politics, Wallis and other Christian leaders agreed to a document entitled "A Covenant for Civility." Wallis has been arrested 22 times for acts of civil disobedience. He was involved in antiwar activism during the Vietnam War, and wrote in 1974 that it was a "brutal, criminal war." Wallis has received criticism for calling the United States "a fallen nation" in his 1976 book Agenda for Biblical People. Wallis' writings are regularly published as op-eds in major media outlets. He is also the convener of Call to Renewal, an interfaith effort to end poverty. He has written a wide variety of books including The Great Awakening.

Fawn McKay Brodie (September 15, 1915 - January 10, 1981) was a biographer and one of the first female professors of history at UCLA, who is best known for Thomas Jefferson: An Intimate History (1974), a work of psychobiography, and No Man Knows My History (1945), an early and still influential biography of Joseph Smith, the founder of the Latter Day Saint movement. Raised in Utah in a respected, if impoverished, Latter-day Saint (LDS Church) family, Fawn McKay drifted away from Mormonism during her years of graduate work at the University of Chicago. She married the ethnically Jewish national defense expert Bernard Brodie, with whom she had three children. She is best known for her five biographies, four of which incorporate insights from Freudian psychology. Her best-selling psychobiography of Thomas Jefferson was the first serious study to examine evidence related to accounts that he had taken his slave Sally Hemings as a concubine, and Brodie concluded such accounts were true. An ambitious, perceptive portrayal of a complex man, this bestselling biography breaks new ground in its exploration of Jefferson's inner life. "Brodie has humanized Jefferson without in the least diminishing him". --Wallace Stegner. Derived from a Kirkus review: An exceptionally rich account of Jefferson's life and work. As a diplomat Jefferson had an intense fling with the bohemian artist Maria Cosway, which produced his remarkable memoir ""The Heart and the Head."" Soon afterwards his wife's adolescent ""quadroon"" half-sister, Sally Hemings, became his mistress for 38 years, the object of defamation. The book examines Jefferson's writings on blacks and slavery, the increasing repression of blacks in the first decade of the 1800's, and the practical reasons why Sally was not immediately emancipated after Jefferson died. Professor Brodie's is generally far more acute than most biographers, who, for example, fail to ask why Jefferson on the one hand lived with his mother until he was 27, and yet wrote little and coldly about her. The effect of Jefferson's liaisons on his eldest daughter Patsy in particular is convincingly examined. Altogether an enjoyable study and a commendable one., W. W.

Woodrow Wilson Crumbo and the oilman Thomas Gilcrease met for the first time at the Mayo Hotel in Tulsa in 1945. Gilcrease would eventually persuade the young Crumbo to join him as an artist-in-residence at the nascent Thomas Gilcrease Museum. Potawatomi, French and German by birth, Crumbo was orphaned young and fostered within various Native traditions. His genius knew no tribal borders, but he supported and promoted Indian art and artists throughout his life, as an educator, director of art at Bacone College, consultant to Gilcrease, and an early adopter of printmaking methods that expanded the audience for Native fine art. The Gilcrease Museum has the honor of possessing the largest extant body of Crumbo's delightful and finely crafted work, which is celebrated and interpreted within the pages of this book.
