With a Foreword by George Garrett. The Fellowship of Southern Writers was founded in 1987 under the inspiration of Cleanth Brooks for the purpose of encouraging excellence and recognizing distinction in southern letters. Membership is by invitation only, and the group meets biennially and bestows prizes in fiction, poetry, drama, and nonfiction. Locales thus represents poetry of truly superlative quality, gathering works by Fellowship members and by esteemed writers who have won Fellowship awards for verse: A.R. Ammons, James Applewhite, Wendell Berry, Fred Chappell, Kelly Cherry, James Dickey, George Garrett, Rodney Jones, Andrew Hudgins,T.R. Hummer, Yusef Komunyakaa, Robert Morgan, Dave Smith, Henry Taylor, Ellen Bryant Voigt, Robert Penn Warren, and Charles Wright. Chosen by Fred Chappell, these poems reflect the truth that the general is most securely held to when in the grip of the particular. They are not just specific, not only regional, but tightly joined to highly detailed places within the southern sphere, wielding a far greater force and universal application than a placeless poetry might have. This "southern gazette with mountains and valleys, forests and farms, rivers and marshes, graveyards and barrooms," as Fred Chappell describes the volume, offers a lyrical topography of the southern-and of the American-spirit that is inviting, entertaining, always surprising, and sometimes ominous. Far from being of merely regional interest, Locales demonstrates that there is no place, however small or remote or obscure, that cannot call forth a resonant outcry of the heart.

From the publisher: "Terri Weifenbach has received international acclaim for her gorgeous, vividly colored landscape photographs -- and deservedly so. She has been described as "the Emily Dickinson of photography" and the work in this new book can only strengthen her reputation as a truly original force in contemporary art. Weifenbach creates images based on seemingly unexceptional pastoral scenes that become quite extraordinary through her masterful presentation of their subject matter. Sometimes a whole picture is shot out of focus, or perhaps just one detail -- a leaf, a bud, a blade of grass -- is sharply focused, commanding attention, while the rest gently recedes into a soft and mellow blur. The results are breathtaking as, dream-like and entrancing, they evoke gentle memories of hazy summer days. The images for this, the artist's third monograph, were made in Lana, a small Italian village nestling in the mountainous South Tyrol."

Long Island's history is well known, but often overlooked are the island's unique and bizarre stories and treasures--the most interesting locations and darkest legends. From hidden haunts and legends like the Indian Princess of Lake Ronkonkoma to well-known events like the Amityville Horror House murders, this collection chronicles the tales of restless spirits, unrequited loves and otherworldly visits that riddle the island. There is much to be seen along the roadside, too, including the beloved Big Duck, the Riverhead Indian and even the grave site of Nixon's dog, Checkers. Through history, pictures and the personal experiences of a ten-year endeavor, authors John and Laura Leita brings to life Long Island's abandoned structures, including psychiatric hospitals and other ruins waiting to be rediscovered. Join the Leitas as they go in search of the delightfully quirky side of Long Island.

The dramatic transformation of our planet by human actions has been heralded as the coming of the new epoch of the Anthropocene. Human relations with water raise some of the most urgent questions in this regard. The starting point of this book is that these changes should not be seen as the result of monolithic actions of an undifferentiated humanity, but as emerging from diverse ways of relating to water in a variety of settings and knowledge systems.  With its large population and rapid demographic and socioeconomic change, Asia provides an ideal context for examining how varied forms of knowledge pertaining to water encounter and intermingle with one another. While it is difficult to carry out comprehensive research on water knowledge in Asia due to its linguistic, political and cultural fragmentation, the topic nevertheless has relevance across boundaries. By using a carefully chosen selection of case studies in a variety of locations and across diverse disciplines, the book demonstrates commonalities and differences in everyday water practices around Asia while challenging both romantic presumptions and Eurocentrism.  Examples presented include class differences in water use in the megacity of Delhi, India; the impact of radiation on water practices in Fukushima, Japan; the role of the King in hydraulic practices in Thailand, and ritual irrigation in Bali, Indonesia.

El imperio Inca sorprendió a los conquistadores europeos por su excelente organización y manejo de recursos. Sin embargo, aunque las crónicas y otros relatos de la época abunden en descripciones de la infraestructura imperial inca, poco sabemos acerca de los mecanismos que permitieron edificar y mantener ese complejo sistema. La obra de Gabriela Sternfeld representa una importante inovación en este sentido. Analizando las huellas de la tradición original indígena contenidas en una selección de crónicas y documentos administrativos de los siglos XVI y XVII de los Andes centrales, reconstruye, por primera vez dentro de la historiografía andina, la jerarquía decimal de las autoridades (llaqta) que confirmaron el Tawantinsuyu. Presenta dicha administración local como doblemente dual (hombres mandones, mujeres mandonas; jefes y segundas personas), con sus nombres originales, sus competencias y prerrogativos, así como una reconstrucción de los procesos de toma de decisión político-laborales. La autora comprobó, además, la existencia de un sistema institucionalizado de consultas (designado por el término quechua kamachinakuy) en los diferentes niveles de la jerarquía política del imperio Inca

A fresh look at the perennial reality of the gods and how they help humanity-through the planet's sacred sitesThe "gods" live! Though seemingly relegated to the archives of myth, the "gods" of antiquity are still with us in the form of the Great White Brotherhood. In fact, what the ancients described as their pantheon are members of this is an august assembly of spiritually advanced beings, based on the constellation of the Great Bear.The Gods in Their Cities, based on original clairvoyant research, reveals that the Great White Brotherhood has numerous meeting places for humans throughout the planet's array of holy sites. Seven different Great White Brotherhood types of geomantic locales are documented, and all of them exist in multiple copies on Earth.The Gods in Their Cities shows how myths of many cultures, from the Irish to Sumerians, are actually psychic maps to the planet's secret visionary terrain, to the geomantic locales of the Brotherhood, and how to successfully interact with them. And it probes behind the mythic guises of the Ray Masters, 14 select great Adepts involved with many aspects of Earth life and geomancy since the beginning-including the true identity of Jesus, Mary Magdalene, the Virgin Mary, and Merlin.Merely our knowing that this esoteric Brotherhood and their interactive locales across the Earth exist can inspire confidence, even certainty, that reality, and thus our planet, culture, and individual human lives, have meaning and are purposeful.

POURQUOI ADHÉRER À UNE ÉGLISE ? Devenir membre d’une Église est une étape importante de la vie chrétienne qui est souvent négligée. La tendance actuelle consiste plutôt à fuir la pratique de la religion organisée et à manifester du dégoût (ou de l’appréhension) pour l’engagement, en particulier envers les institutions. Jonathan Leeman aborde ce sujet en expliquant clairement ce que signifie « être membre d’une Église locale », puis il montre pourquoi l’adhésion à une Église est vitale pour le chrétien. En redonnant à l’Église sa juste valeur, l’auteur présente des arguments solides pour nous convaincre de nous engager auprès de notre assemblée locale. Recommandations « Voici un petit livre rempli d’idées pratiques et de bons arguments qui nous aideront non seulement à encadrer les chrétiens d’aujourd’hui dans leur quête de liberté personnelle, mais aussi à éliminer leurs appréhensions concernant l’adhésion à une Église, l’autorité pastorale et la responsabilisation. » — TIM KELLER, pasteur principal, Redeemer Presbyterian Church « Le présent ouvrage met en évidence l'importance d'une représentation officielle de Jésus aux yeux du monde. Il devrait être lu par tous les chrétiens soucieux de manifester la grandeur de Christ et de son oeuvre pour l’Église. » — Guillaume Bourin, directeur de l’institut biblique #Transmettre ; fondateur du blog LeBonCombat.fr « Cet excellent livre présente des structures et des outils utiles pour bâtir des Églises en bonne santé. Tous les chrétiens devraient prendre le temps de lire ce livre. » — François Turcotte, directeur général, Séminaire Baptiste Évangélique du Québec (SEMBEQ), Montréal Auteur JONATHAN LEEMAN (M. Div., Southern Baptist Theological Seminary) est membre de la Capitol Hill Baptist Church à Washington, D. C. Il est directeur de rédaction pour 9Marks, ainsi que pour leur journal en ligne.

El objetivo de este libro es analizar la evolución de la expresión epigráfica en el occidente mediterráneo durante los siglos finales de la República Romana. Los trabajos en él recogidos ponen de manifiesto la diversidad de las culturas epigráficas del Mediterráneo occidental. Sin embargo, esta diversidad no es resultado de desarrollos autónomos, al contrario, responde a la compleja dialéctica que se establece en cada territorio entre la recepción de modelos foráneos y las tradiciones y necesidades de las sociedades locales. En este contexto, el tardío florecer de las culturas epigráficas locales que se objetiva durante los siglos II-I a. E. tanto en Italia como en el occidente mediterráneo puede entenderse como una consecuencia más de la expansión romana.
