Settled in 1640 by a group of Puritans from Massachusetts, Southampton, NY, changed very little until the railroad line from New York City reached the village in 1870. Then, with daily trains traveling east, wealthy New Yorkers were amazed to discover a bucolic backwater just hours away. By the turn of the century, Southampton was ranked among the most fashionable resorts on the East Coast. Over 200 photographs, many rare and previously unpublished, illustrate the changes that came to agrarian Southampton as successive waves of summer residents arrived, first to stay in farmhouses refurbished as boarding houses, then building their own sprawling summer “cottages.” Drawn from local historical archives and private collections, these images will show how small-town life continued over the years in a place now world-renowned for its exclusive clubs, grand mansions, and celebrity residents.

The 1938 hurricane, the most severe and terrifying storm to hit Long Island in living memory, struck on September 21, a day that had dawned bright and fair in the seaside communities between Westhampton Beach and Montauk Point. Unaware of the storm whipping itself into a frenzy just miles away, village residents were going about their normal tasks when it struck, killing more than 30 and wreaking unprecedented destruction before nightfall. In Hurricane in the Hamptons, 1938, the story is told in more than 150 photographs, most of them taken by stunned residents in the immediate aftermath of the storm.

"This study will related various stories and episodes of the Buddha's many incarnations, including his final one, as they appear in the literature and art of Asia. On the one hand, they represent a vital interest in the Buddha as a teacher and example of righteous behavior, which is central to Hinayana, or Theravada [Doctrine of the elders], Buddhism. On the other hand, the miraculous content of so many of these stories reveals an aspect of the other main branch of Buddhism, Mahayana [The great vehicle] Buddhism. The stories about the past lives of the Buddha are called Jatakas or Birth Stories." -- from Introduction (p. 2)

When God allows a soul to be born into this world, it is always with divine purpose. Many souls, however, never find God, and many who do find Him never find their real purpose for living. Many of those who discover their God-given call are unable to remain faithful to Him and the purpose He has established for their lives during their period of required preparation. A certain restlessness often overtakes them and causes them either to take some detour or to turn back altogether. This is a tragedy that could be avoided if we better understood God's call and how it comes to pass in our lives. The Restlessness of the Call reveals the processes and the timing that are involved in fulfilling God's plan for our lives, showing us that if we can only remain faithful through the process of appointing and anointing, God will eventually miraculously establish us in our unique ministry.
