Captain James A. Baker, Houston lawyer, banker, and businessman, received an alarming telegram on September 23, 1900: his elderly millionaire client William Marsh Rice had died unexpectedly in New York City. Baker rushed to New York, where he unraveled a plot to murder Rice and plunder his estate. Working tirelessly with local authorities, Baker saved Rice’s fortune from more than one hundred claimants; he championed the wishes of his deceased client and founded Rice Institute for the Advancement of Literature, Science and Art—today’s internationally acclaimed Rice University.For fifty years Captain Baker nurtured Rice’s dream. He partnered with leading lawyers to create Houston’s first nationally recognized law firm: Baker, Botts, Lovett & Parker, now the worldwide legal practice of Baker Botts L.L.P. He chartered several Houston businesses and utility companies, developed two major regional banks, promoted real estate projects, and led an active civic life. To expand the Institute’s endowment, Baker invested William Marsh Rice’s fortune with local entrepreneurs, who were building homes, office towers, commercial enterprises, and institutions that transformed Houston from a small town in the nineteenth century to an international powerhouse in the twenty-first century.Author Kate Sayen Kirkland explored the archival records of Baker and his family and firm and carefully mined the archives of Baker’s contemporaries. Published as part of Rice University’s centennial celebration, Captain James A. Baker of Houston, 1857–1941 weaves together the history of Houston and the story of an influential man who labored all his life to make Houston a world-class city.

The Man Who Ran Washington: The Life and Times of James A. Baker III 2.01

Sexy, gripping, and utterly unrepressed, Tim and Pete is a freewheeling symposium on the themes of sex, art, homophobia, and radical gay terrorism. " A nihilistic joyride through post-apocalyptic L.A. full of love gone bad, bitter humor, AIDS activism, and sex, drugs, and rock & roll."--David B. Feinberg, author of Eighty-Sixed.

Modern Bible translations still come under attack from the King James Only camp. In this revision of a book continually in print for more than ten years, James R. White traces the development of Bible translations old and new, investigating the differences between versions like the NIV, NASB, and NKJV and the Authorized Version of 1611. Written with the layperson in mind, The King James Only Controversy leads the reader through the basic issues of the debate and into the more complex issues of textual criticism. Enlightening reading for all Christians. "Why a second edition? Fourteen years since the writing of the original has seen not only developments in the textual critical field, but the King James Only advocates have been writing books in that time as well, most of which seek to respond to my work. Some key examples, plus an expanded bibliography, bring the work up to date on that level. Further, those advocates have attempted to raise counter examples, and so the number of passages addressed in the work is expanded. During that time I have addressed this topic so many times that I have developed a number of useful illustrations to help the layperson understand the key issues, and these are included in the work as well. Finally, the explosion onto the scene of Bart Ehrman and his works on the New Testament are noted as well. As a result, the next edition of The King James Only Controversy will provide a valuable addition to the library of anyone seeking to understand the trustworthiness of the New Testament today.! " --James R. White, explaining his reasoning for a revision of this book

During westward expansion in the nineteenth century, thousands of anonymous individuals drifted into the American West in search of opportunities in trapping and trading, prospecting and mining, military service, railroad construction, freighting, agriculture, town-building, and adventure. Few of these emigrants achieved sufficient notoriety for their names to be recalled today. Two exceptions are James White, who is said to have accidentally traversed the Grand Canyon on a makeshift raft two years prior to the first expedition of John Wesley Powell, and his erstwhile companion Charles Baker, who played a prominent role in prospecting in Colorado's San Juan Mountains in the 1860s.The exploits of these two drifters and the ongoing debate about the veracity of the Grand Canyon story and other legendary adventures provide the basis for lively narrative history in Virginia McConnell Simmons's Drifting West.Simmons's account, based on extensive research---from archival study to rafting and backpacking expeditions in the Grand Canyon---reveals the characters, fortunes, and misfortunes of these two adventurous men, examines the debate about White's alleged traverse of the Grand Canyon in relation to Powell's career, and offers a compelling portrait of the West as seen through the experiences of the two drifters. Maps, photographs, sketches, and historical data about the places White and Baker passed through enrich the text.

Dust jacket notes: "This book is the story of an inspired collaboration. In 1893 Mary Baker Eddy commissioned a landscape and portrait painter, James F. Gilman, to create the pictures for her poem, 'Christ and Christmas.' For the better part of a year Gilman worked under her direction to illuminate the poem's ideas and ideals. This account is told largely in their own words, taken exclusively from original handwritten letters, notes, and reminiscences. Careful analysis was made of records, letters, diaries, and other corroborative evidence in the archives of the Church History Department of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts. Developed from primary source material not fully available elsewhere, Painting a Poem is the authoritative account of an extraordinary spiritual and artistic endeavor - the illustrating of 'Christ and Christmas.'"
