This book is a celebration. In these pages we put on splendid photographic display the glories by of 100 of America's most beautiful, most important, most intriguing places.
There are vast national parks here and tiny corners of the country where might exist a sublime museum or a storied ballpark. From the scenic coast of Maine to the thunderous volcanoes of Hawaii, from far northern Alaska to the tip of the Florida Keys-with stops in between in San Francisco, Santa Fe and in our nation's capital, to name but three-LIFE celebrates the bounteous natural and man-made artistry that is a great source of American pride.
This book is a journey. In the evocative words that accompany the photographs, LIFE takes you on the road. Whether it's a slow drive through the rolling landscape of Kentucky's horse country or a dramatic descent into an underground labyrinth of caves, the frisson of being in the scene is palpable. There is history to be learned -at Gettysburg, at Concord in Massachusetts, at the Alamo. There are tips to be filed away-the best gardens to visit this summer, what's not to be missed during that getaway to Newport or Mackinac or Santa Catalina.
This book is a showcase. Herein we present portfolios from three of the finest American nature and landscape photographers ever: Joel Meyerowitz, Michael Melford and the legendary Ansel Adams. Each of these men made memorable pictures of many places, but focused intently on one place above others. And so we let Meyerowitz give us his vision of Cape Cod, Melford take us on a tour of the Hawaiian islands and Adams show us the monumentality of his beloved Yosemite.
The photographs in these portfolios are suitable for framing, as is the bonus Ansel Adams print included in America the Beautiful.
This book is, finally, an invitation. It is meant to entertain you, certainly, but also to inspire you.
There are 100 places celebrated here, and it is a lucky American who gets to visit them.
So we invite you to see your country in these pages.
And, then -to get up and go.

J. Stephen Lang

So you think you know about the United States... •
Sure, it's important to know things such as who the first U.S. president was, the branches of the U.S. government, etc. But the things that keep us up at night and drive us crazy at work are questions like "What is the only state that borders only one state?" and "What two instruments did the two Smothers Brothers play (and which played which instrument)?" In The Big Book of American Trivia, veteran trivia master J. Stephen Lang poses over three thousand questions covering such topics as music, entertainment, politics, states, and religion.
The questions on the cover are just a sample. Try these others:
1. What has been the most common denominational preference of U.S. presidents?
2. The top sitcom of the 1960s starred a southern comic as a southern sheriff. What was the show?
3. What holiday is the number one day for sales of fresh-cut flowers?
4. What Ivy League school awards the Pulitzer Prizes?
5. Lynchburg, Virginia's Thomas Road Baptist Church is pastored by what noted TV preacher?
J. Stephen Lang is a freelance writer and lives in Richmond, Virginia.
His favorite game is Trivial Pursuit, and his favorite book is the Bible.
He is also the author of The Complete Book of Confederate Trivia.
And if you're still wondering about the questions on the cover ...
• What cereal was originally called Elijah's Manna?
(See page 369)
• Where would you see a parade with all biblical floats? (See page 107)
• The WAVES were women in which branch of service? (See page 257)
• What pro baseball player became one of the world's greatest evangelists? (See page 379)
• The most moose are found in which of the forty-eight contiguous states? (See page 5)

Paperback (1 to 2 lbs)

Presents over three thousand questions and answers about American subjects, covering such topics as geography, history, entertainment, people, and culture.

Eric J. Bouchoc

The scriptures are filled with the richness and depth of the glory of our creator, richness and depth that go well beyond our comprehension. We read about our God and we are awestruck by His splendor and by the miraculous things that He has done for His people, those that are called by His name. Let us never forget that He is the same yesterday, today and forever.
The tabernacle was the dwelling place for the Hebrew people while they spent their time wandering in the desert wilderness. During that time, God showed Himself to be a loving, kind, merciful and compassionate God to a rebellious and stiffnecked people much like us today.
As you open this book and explore the images inside allow yourself to be transported back in time. Allow God to present you with the experience…hear the sounds, smell the smells, feel the warmth on your face and see what may have been. Mentally walk where they walked. In the end, present yourself as a living sacrifice to your maker who simply wants to spend time with you.
The tabernacle was made so that God could dwell among his people. Today, we no longer need the physical tabernacle. He has promised to live inside us as His holy dwelling place to those who live for His son Jesus. Won’t you allow this book to be a vessel for a deeper relationship with your maker?

This book was birthed out of a desire to transform the words of scripture into lifelike visual imagery. Though there is no way of knowing exactly what the tabernacle may have looked like, we do have subtle descriptions of most everything mentioned. So, as you read through this and examine the images contained inside, allow your heart to be touched by the Spirit of the Lord. Allow this book to be a vessel that brings you closer to the Lord through an experience of heartfelt worship, a longing to be in His presence and a desire to know Him more. My prayer is that this book will be an inspiration for you to open God's word and examine the scriptures for yourself; that these pages will give you a moment of illumination that will forever change the way you look at God's Word.

WAS THE BOOK OF REVELATION PENNED BY THE CRAZY UNCLE IN THE FAMILY OF BIBLE WRITERS?
You try to convince yourself that the apostle John is just another New Testament writer-kindly, gentle, loving. You know...NORMAL.
But he's JUST SO WEIRD! Most of the time you have no idea what John is talking about in his Revelation. When you must interact with his WILD, OTHERWORLDLY BOOK, you escape as soon as you can to familiar, saner Scriptures. Like Matthew's gospel or one of Paul's letters-after all, they straight-up tell you what Jesus did and what you should do!
Yet CREATIVE BIBLE LESSONS IN REVELATION will quickly convince you and your students that St. John wasn't so much a crazy guy as he was a VISIONARY, INSPIRATIONAL, and WORSHIPFUL GUY! And you don't.have to subscribe to any pre- or post-eschatology theory in order to learn all sorts of good stuff from the apostle.
Here's what's inside every session:
• Detailed overviews for CLEAR, CONVENIENT PREPPING.
• INTRIGUING ACTIVITIES and games-with-a-point introducing that session's topic.
• Hardcore BIBLE STUDIES and PROVOCATIVE QUESTIONS that trigger dialogue in both large and small groups.
• Application exercises that translate John's visions into PRACTICAL, ATTAINABLE ACTIONS AND ATTITUDES for students' daily lives.
Plus, you'll get these bonuses:
• LET'S GET THEOLOGICAL- lite intros to the various interpretations of and reactions to the events
Revelation predicts.
• MORE MORE MORE— helpful supplements to activities and discussions.
• WORTHY OF WORSHIP— top-drawer suggestions for turning ordinary youth meetings into extraordinary times of praising God.
Questions about the future lurk in everyone's minds—ESPECIALLY IN THE MINDS OF TEENAGERS.
Now is your chance to explore the book of Revelation with your students—to glimpse at the never-ending worship to come, to grab hold of God's promises and his mercy, and to bring some ease

Jacqueline Rose

A blazingly insightful, provocative study of violence against women from the peerless feminist critic.

Why has violence, and especially violence against women, become so much more prominent and visible across the world? To explore this question, Jacqueline Rose tracks the multiple forms of today's violence - historic and intimate, public and private - as they spread throughout our social fabric, offering a new, provocative account of violence in our time.

From trans rights and #MeToo to the sexual harassment of migrant women, from the trial of Oscar Pistorius to domestic violence in lockdown, from the writing of Roxanne Gay to Hisham Mitar and Han Kang, she casts her net wide. What obscene pleasure in violence do so many male leaders of the Western world unleash in their supporters? Is violence always gendered and if so, always in the same way? What is required of the human mind when it grants itself permission to do violence?

On Violence and On Violence Against Women is a timely and urgent agitation against injustice, a challenge to radical feminism and a meaningful call to action.

Edited by Clarence C. Strowbridge
Fourteen short works of fiction by noteworthy American women authors offer entrancing tales of redemption, betrayal, tradition, and rebellion. Dating from the nineteenth to twenty-first centuries, these narratives range in mood from "Heat," Joyce Carol Oates's chilling tale of murder, to "Why I Live at the P.O.,
," Eudora Welty's
comic monologue in the Southern Gothic tradition.
Other contributors include Flannery O'Connor, Kate Chopin, and Edna Ferber as well as lesser-known, newly rediscovered writers.
Edith Wharton examines the issue of divorce and remarriage in "The Other Two," and Willa Cather explores life among Greenwich Village artists at the turn of the twentieth century in "Coming, Aphrodite!" Stories with modern settings include Alice Walker's "Everyday Use," an insightful look at the role of heritage in African-American culture, and Louise Erdrich's "The Shawl," a meditation on memory and the transformation of old stories into new ones.

Art, Music, Drama/Theater

Edith Wharton, Kate Chopin, and Ellen Glasgow are among the featured authors in this splendid anthology. The tales include Joyce Carol Oates' "Heat," Flannery O'Connor's "The Life You Save May Be Your Own," Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings' "Gal Young 'Un," and "Why I Live at the P.O." by Eudora Welty.

In this book you will find something about German history, sports, art, music, literature, customs, and food-and much about the German people. Of German Ways measures the pulse of German life in both Germany and America and describes the great political and cultural contributions to American life of the fifty million descendants of German immigrants.
This entertaining and informative volume is ideal for adults interested in their German background, for young people who want to acquire a sense of ethnic heritage; and for tourists who would like a more in-depth view of Germany and Germans than a guidebook provides.
LaVern Rippley grew up in a Wisconsin German-American community. He was a Fulbright Fellow at the University of Munich and has visited Germany many times. After teaching at Ohio Wesleyan University he became Chairman of the German Department at St. Olaf College.

All facets of German life are examined in an account of the German heritage and its impact on contemporary America.

Shugri Said Salh

California

Coming of Age in the Somali Desert

A remarkable and inspiring true story that "stuns with raw beauty" about one woman's resilience, her courageous journey to America, and her family's lost way of life. Born in Somalia, a spare daughter in a large family, Shugri Said Salh was sent at age six to live with her nomadic grandmother in the desert. The last of her family to learn this once-common way of life, Salh found herself chasing warthogs, climbing termite hills, herding goats, and moving constantly in search of water and grazing lands with her nomadic family. For Salh, though the desert was a harsh place threatened by drought, predators, and enemy clans, it also held beauty, innovation, centuries of tradition, and a way for a young Sufi girl to learn courage and independence from a fearless group of relatives. Salh grew to love the freedom of roaming with her animals and the powerful feeling of community found in nomadic rituals and the oral storytelling of her ancestors. As she came of age, though, both she and her beloved Somalia were forced to confront change, violence, and instability. Salh writes with engaging frankness and a fierce feminism of trying to break free of the patriarchal beliefs of her culture, of her forced female genital mutilation, of the loss of her mother, and of her growing need for independence. Taken from the desert by her strict father and then displaced along with millions of others by the Somali Civil War, Salh fled first to a refugee camp on the Kenyan border and ultimately to North America to learn yet another way of life. Readers will fall in love with Salh on the page as she tells her inspiring story about leaving Africa, learning English, finding love, and embracing a new horizon for herself and her family. Honest and tender, The Last Nomad is a riveting coming-of-age story of resilience, survival, and the shifting definitions of home.

An Introduction to Archaeology and Prehistory

A combined method and theory and world prehistory text for Introductory Archaeology and World Prehistory.

This is a book by one of the foremost archaeologists for complete beginners, written in a jargon-free style, and, as much as possible, as a narrative. This wide-ranging introduction to the most fundamental principles, methods, and theoretical approaches of archaeology, combined with coverage of the major developments of human prehistory, fills a need for an authoritative basic text that covers both archaeology and prehistory within a single volume.

HUCKLEBERRY FINN, like the river which flows through its pages, is one of the great sources which nourished and still nourishes the literature of America.
With an Afterword by Alfred Kazin

Hilariously picaresque, epic in scope, alive with  the poetry and vigor of the American people, Mark  Twain's story about a young boy and his journey  down the Mississippi was the first great novel to  speak in a truly American voice. Influencing  subsequent generations of writers -- from Sherwood  Anderson to Twain's fellow Missourian,  T.S. Eliot, from Ernest Hemingway and William  Faulkner to J.D. Salinger --  Huckleberry Finn, like the river  which flows through its pages, is one of the great  sources which nourished and still nourishes the  literature of America.

Isak Dinesen

Isak Dinesen's extraordinary life and work are now presented in Sydney Pollack's Out of Africa, starring Robert Redford and Meryl Streep.
One of the great figures in twentieth century literature is Isak Dinesen (the pen name of Baroness Karen Blixen). At the age of twenty-seven, she left Denmark and sailed for East Africa to marry her Swedish cousin, Baron Bror Blixen. Together they bought a four-thousand-acre coffee plantation in Kenya. For the next seventeen years she managed the plantation, even after she and her husband separated, and she recorded the experience in two memorable books, Out of Africa and Shadows on the Grass, both of which are filled with her affection for and understanding of the land and its people.
The movie Out of Africa, produced and directed by Sydney Pollack, written by Kurt Luedtke, and with Kim Jorgensen as Executive Producer, is also based on Judith Thurman's Isak Dinesen: The Life of a Storyteller; Errol Trze-binski's Silence Will Speak; and Isak Dinesen's Letters from Africa.

In this book, the author of Seven Gothic Tales gives a true account of her life on her plantation in Kenya. She tells with classic simplicity of the ways of the country and the natives: of the beauty of the Ngong Hills and coffee trees in blossom: of her guests, from the Prince of Wales to Knudsen, the old charcoal burner, who visited her: of primitive festivals: of big game that were her near neighbors--lions, rhinos, elephants, zebras, buffaloes--and of Lulu, the little gazelle who came to live with her, unbelievably ladylike and beautiful. The Random House colophon made its debut in February 1927 on the cover of a little pamphlet called "Announcement Number One." Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer, the company's founders, had acquired the Modern Library from publishers Boni and Liveright two years earlier. One day, their friend the illustrator Rockwell Kent stopped by their office. Cerf later recalled, "Rockwell was sitting at my desk facing Donald, and we were talking about doing a few books on the side, when suddenly I got an inspiration and said, 'I've got the name for our publishing house. We just said we were go-ing to publish a few books on the side at random. Let's call it Random House.' Donald liked the idea, and Rockwell Kent said, 'That's a great name. I'll draw your trademark.' So, sitting at my desk, he took a piece of paper and in five minutes drew Random House, which has been our colophon ever since." Throughout the years, the mission of Random House has remained consistent: to publish books of the highest quality, at random. We are proud to continue this tradition today. This edition is set from the first American edition of 1937 and commemorates the seventy-fifth anniversary of Random House.
