Mr. John Benjamin, town clerk (1849–1862) compiled the data used by Everett S. Stackpole to write the original history, printed in 1925. The original volume covered 143 of the 253 early families listed in the 1790 Census for Winthrop. This second edition covers all of the 253 early families in the 1790 Census. Prior to 1791, Winthrop included all or part of: Readfield, Hallowell, Augusta (Harrington), Fayette (Sterling & Thirty Mile River), Mt. Vernon (Washington), Manchester (Kennebec Plt.), Wayne (New Sandwich) and Monmouth (Wales). Incorporated in 1771, it missed being the largest population center in Kennebec County, Maine, in 1790 by twenty-seven people. If your ancestors were from Kennebec Valley they probably passed through either Hallowell or Winthrop. The early settlers, who were primarily of English or French/German Huguenot descent, came from Massachusetts and New Hampshire by way of Pownalborough, Maine. About seventy-five percent of the original book was devoted to detailed genealogies of these early settlers, to which this edition adds 135 pages of new material. The other twenty-five percent of the book is devoted to a narrative history of the town (from Stackpole’s original book). In it you will find: names and plot numbers of original settlers, and in some cases to whom they conveyed their property; original Indian names for the area; the laying out of roads; cemeteries; church histories; a military history up to and including WWI, which incorporates service and biographical data; the division of the town; agriculture; manufactures; tannery privileges; banking; schools; and Winthrop as a summer resort. Three informative maps have been included (two of which are new). There are three new indices: a subject and place name index, a name index for the names in the 1925 edition, and a cross-index for the “buried” names in the new material. Eleven countries and forty-three states are indexed along with over 250 Maine locations, over 150 in Massachusetts, forty-five in New Hampshire, and twenty-two in New York.

According to most accounts, the man solely responsible for reviving the modern Olympic Games was Baron Pierre de Coubertin. Now, in The Modern Olympics, David C. Young challenges this view, revealing that Coubertin was only the last and most successful of many contributors to the dream of the modern Olympics. Based on thirteen years of research in previously neglected documents, Young reconstructs the fascinating and almost unknown history of the Olympic revival movement in the nineteenth century, including two long-forgotten Olympiads—one in London in 1866 and another in Athens in 1870. He traces the idea for the modern Olympics back to an obscure Greek poet in 1833 and follows the sinuous tale to a small village in England, where W. P. Brookes held local Olympiads, founded the British Olympic Committee, and told Coubertin about his vision of an international Olympics. Coubertin's main contribution to the founding of the modern Olympics was the zeal he brought to transforming an idea that had evolved over decades into the reality of Olympiad I and all the Olympic Games held thereafter.

Never have policy initiatives been so important than in today's society. Neoliberal manifestations, climate change, civil rights movements, and governmental reactions to these issues have created a backdrop where greater education in policy analysis and development is vital. Policy is often created for accruing power, expanding privilege, and further marginalizing oppressed groups. Educating policy developers and consumers is but one means of harnessing the positive power of policy while restraining the tendencies to pervert policy for the betterment of a powerful hegemonic elite. Policy Matters: Perspectives, Procedures, and Processesdemystifies policy, exploring how it may truly be transformative in combatting hegemonic and neoliberal incursions into the educational arena. The traditional theory / practice divide is overcome here, uniquely, as educational policy is united with educational reality to empower educators, education stakeholders, and citizens to use policy, policy development, and policy initiatives for the betterment of society as a whole.
