A Magical, Unforgettable Tale... A splendid maple – huge, majestic, and newly conscious – has thrust out its dense roots, creating havoc on a nearby sidewalk. The jumbled mess causes an accident from which a young boy may never recover. Hidden high in the tree’s branches, a mother crow stands sentinel over what she knows will be her final clutch of eggs. Nearby, a hawk – the same one that viciously robbed her of her lifelong mate and previous hatchlings – stalks her, waits for the perfect moment to strike.John Wilson, at 76, has lived beside his tree for 70 years – rested in its shade, carved initials in its bark, watched it grow. But in possible destruction, he discovers something beyond himself – his place in a world he’s allowed to pass him by.A City Attorney threatens. A City Inspector ponders. A community gathers. An old tree defies its very nature becoming self-aware. An old bird resists the unrelenting force of instinct for self-preservation. An old man overcomes his self-imposed isolation and the inertia spawned by his past…And an amazing story unveils a tiny slice of Man’s relationship to Nature – and Nature’s to Man – in this magical tale in which all entities converge on a typical American street and reveal the enduring themes we all share – life, loss, regret and, ultimately, hope.

<p>The first pope could have been a woman. Why isn't Teresa lll or Catherine V waving at us from the Vatican window in St. Peter's Square? After all, Jesus made no bones about gender issues. And Mary Magdalene was certainly most fitting to be the first bishop of Rome. So what when wrong? As is often the case, the issue is the bending of truth. Eve and Mary: The Search for Lost Beauty and Sensuality is an exciting voyage of historical and cultural discovery that steps into the stream of familiar legends and myths as well as other unusual and surprising events, seeking, exploring and making sense of the stigmatization of sexual pleasure and the vanishing of beauty in the Early Middle Ages in Europe.</p>

<p>This work represents the definitive account of the Jewish community in central Africa. It tells the story of the coming of the first Jews to the area in the late 19th century, the heyday of the Jewish community in the mid-20th century, and its decline since Zambian independence. Dealing primarily with the Jewish traders in Zambia who flourished in the face of both anti-semitism and their own acute social dislocation, Macmillan explores a number of interrelated topics: the colonial office discussions about Jewish immigration in the 1930s, the attempts to settle refugees in Africa by both pro-and anti-semites, Jewish religious life in the region, and the remarkable cultural and professional role played by the Jewish settlers. Setting these issues in the context of a general history of southern and central Africa, this book constitutes a major contribution to our understanding of the economic history of the entire region. It will be of interest to both historians of Africa and anyone concerned with economic development, identity and immigrant communities.</p>
