Consciousness and Culture: Emerson and Thoreau Reviewed
Emerson and Thoreau are the most celebrated odd couple of nineteenth-century American literature. Appearing to play the roles of benign mentor and eager disciple, they can also be seen as bitter rivals: America’s foremost literary statesman, protective of his reputation, and an ambitious and sometimes refractory protégé. The truth, Joel Porte maintains, is that Emerson and Thoreau were complementary literary geniuses, mutually inspiring and inspired.
In this book of essays, Porte focuses on Emerson and Thoreau as writers. He traces their individual achievements and their points of intersection, arguing that both men, starting from a shared belief in the importance of “self-culture,” produced a body of writing that helped move a decidedly provincial New England readership into the broader arena of international culture. It is a book that will appeal to all readers interested in the writings of Emerson and Thoreau.

Islam Reviewed, American Edition
Church-goers in America have no idea of what it is like to stand for Jesus in the face of severe persecution Christians in mortal danger live so far away their trials arent real to us. But if you were there, then the inhuman oppression of it all would hit you in the face like a sledge hammer. You would discover that speaking out for Jesus could be suicidal. Many of your friends would be in hiding, in jail, or lying face down in some muddy ditch - just a few more infidel corpses rotting in the tropical sun.

In the Sudan, Christians by the hundred thousands have been slaughtered - many by crucifixion. In Nigeria, many thousands more have been killed. One African brother (attending a Bible College here in the United States) plans to return home to begin a Christian school in his native land, but he knows he will not last more than a year or two before they kill him.

So what kind of people would act with such cruel hatred toward defenseless men and women who wished them no harm? The radical Muslims, thats who, in an Islamic Jihad or so-called "holy war" they have been waging against Christians and Jews for over 1300 years.

M. Ali (not his real name) has seen the above with his own eyes, so he writes about Islam from personal experience. Ali is a well-educated former Muslim who came to the Lord and is now a minister of the Gospel. Because of his background, Ali is particularly well suited to compare the Bible to the Koran and history, and he does so in such a way that truths about which he writes literally jump off the page at you.

We may not be able to relate to every word this persecuted saint has written, but that shouldnt matter to us for a minute. What counts is that M. Ali is a stalwart brother in a foreign land who, at the risk of his life, is standing for Jesus against a murderous enemy. And wonder of it all, though they have killed his Christian friends and burned their churches, Ali still sees Muslims as precious souls for whom Jesus died. As a result, he is an example to us all on how to love and witness to Muslims in the face of their virulent animosity. .

Avant-Gardes and Partisans Reviewed
The authors of this text, Orton and Pollock, are considered exponents of the social history of art. Their approach to the study of art began in 1978 with the publication of their analysis of popular artists such as Van Gogh which denied the simplistic interpretations of the popular art world of such "Masters" of art. Over the past 20 years they have continued to re-appraise and re-invent art historical analyses, focusing on the formation of European modernism in the 19th century and the later American appropriation of its legacy during the 20th century. This book combines new work on critical and theoretical issues of agency and the problems of autobiography and monographic studies in art history, with the authors' earlier articles, complete with reappraisals of this earlier work. By addressing key issues in visual culture and the politics of representation, this book provides both a useful reference and an analysis of the work of these authors during this tumultuous period in art history.
