A Handbook on Hanging is a Swiftian tribute to that unappreciated mainstay of civilization: the hangman. With barbed insouciance, Charles Duff writes not only of hanging but of electrocution, decapitations, and gassings; of innocent men executed and of executions botched; of the bloodlust of mobs and the shabby excuses of the great. This coruscating and, in contemporary America, very relevant polemic makes clear that whatever else capital punishment may be said to be--justice, vengeance, a deterrent--it is certainly killing.

In Newburyport, Massachusetts Oak Hill Cemetery, consecrated in 1842 and still an active burial ground, was part of the early rural garden cemetery movement in the United States. The final resting place of authors, abolitionists, silversmiths, civil war soldiers, artists, and descendants of the first settlers of Newbury in the 1640s who made their lives in the community, Oak Hill Cemetery is the gateway to discovering the contributions they have made to Newburyport history. This award winner book was honored by the 2009 New England Book Festival Runner-up Book of the Year, Book Design of the Year, and Runner-up Biography/Autobiography of the Year; the 2010 New York Book Festival Runner-up Biography/Autobiography of the Year; and one of 75 nationwide finalists of the American Association for State and Local History in 2010.

Tiptoe Through the Tombstones Oak Hill Cemetery

<p>This fascinating and thought-provoking book probes some of the deepest aspects of our very existence, while tackling some of the most controversial social issues of modern times: from euthanasia, abortion, AIDS, education, family, and the environment, to the possibility of alien encounters. Presented as a dialogue, the viewpoints of an eminent astronomer and a Buddhist scholar are expounded, side by side. As the dialogue unfolds, interesting comparisons between the two sets of basic tenets can be easily identified, while traditional beliefs about 'unsophisticated' Buddhist philosophy are proven wrong. Wickramasinghe and Ikeda's discussions focus around several key areas: the universe; science and religion; eternity of life; Buddhist pacifism and the creation of a global civilisation. Space and Eternal Life is an illuminating philosophical study.</p>

It has been around for centuries. Indications are that it began as an argument in the second century of church history. It has been debated; accepted; rejected; called fundamental to soteriology; and heresy. Some ministers gathered a following, while others have been removed because of their adherence to this subject. It is becoming a major focal point of biblical truth in the world today. Some say that it will truly change the face of the church moving forward into culture. There must be a final authority for all held truth. The scientist looks to nature. The Christian (conservative) looks to the Bible which is believed to reveal the truth as determined by God. As a result, the scientist should not interpret nature by his pre-held beliefs. Nature leads the man of science into believing the truth. As with developing a system of theology, the Bible reveals the accuracy of held opinions. The Bible is the test of belief – never the reverse. Confusion will result if we interpret the Bible through our philosophy. So it begs the question: Does it matter what one believes about the doctrines of Heaven; Hell; God’s wrath; whether God eternally pursues humanity; is there an end to accepting His grace; is one born again as a result of the faith of Christ alone; and are we given opportunity to respond to God’s grace after death? What are the ramifications of God’s reconciliation and forgiveness? Is it universal? If it is, does it apply universally to all humans? Author and Pastor Ron Sears tackles this controversial and polarizing subject with patience, attention to detail, and compassion.
