This is the first biography of Thomas Merton that tells about him as he wanted us to know him. Merton did not choose to keep his most personal writing secret (he provided for his diaries to be released 25 years after his death), but rather chose to be remembered as a monk whose most human faults should be revealed. He proved he had flaws by carefully recording them; it was a most generous gift. In the bargain, he wanted his readers to believe that the principles he espoused are in fact practicable for anyone, not just those who live like a saint.This biography combines the details of those diaries with the more widely known and published circumstances of his life. Here we meet Merton, first as Tom, then as Thomas, the writer both before and after The Seven Storey Mountain. We see the all-too-human fellow traveler we have come to know as he climbs the final mountain of his life; Kanchenjuga Mountain was a symbol of this journey. Within these pages Merton reveals his hopes and dreams against the backdrop of an incredibly turbulent period of social change that both frightened and energized him. We witness his love of the rich Cistercian tradition and his adjustment to its evolving practices following Vatican II. Here he interacts with some of the most notable international figures of his time, and he confides to us the difficulties he had in everyday relationships.This is the first biography to present, along with a comprehensive publishing history, a detailed picture with photographs and other previously unpublished illustrations of events significant to him.

Hammond (rare books librarian at Williams College, US) and Scull (former librarian of Sir John Soane's Museum, UK) present the 20 papers presented at the eponymous Marquette University Tolkien conference, held in October of 2004 in honor of the late entomologist and zoologist turned J.R.R. Tolkien scholar, Richard Blackwelder, whose collecting activities provided the foundation of Marquette University's Tolkein collection. About half of the papers focus on Tolkien's major work, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, while the others discuss other topics, including the rhetorical evolution of Tolkein's essay on Beowulf, Tolkien as a linguist, the role of Tolkien in education, and special collections in the service of Tolkien studies.

Known as the long, hot summer of 1967, Milwaukee experienced a riot which then became the biggest civil rights story in the nation as a white Catholic priest, along with a bunch of kids from the inner city, conducted marathon marches anddemonstrations for an open housing law. It was a defining period, though not the end, of years of civil rights protests in Beertown, USA. This book is a history of that era, by a newspaper reporter who covered much of the story.

Over the years John Tumpak developed personal associations with many bandleaders, musicians, vocalists, arrangers, and contributors who participated in the Big Band Era. The unique stories of these and other Era personalities are told in his book, When Swing Was the Thing: Personality Profiles of the Big Band Era, which provides detailed insight into their personal and professional lives and the cultural history of the time. Forty of the publications forty-seven chapters are based on interviews Tumpak conducted with the key players or their immediate family members. Major historic events in the careers of Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller are also included. There are 114 vintage photos, many of which were provided by individuals featured in the book and appear in print for the first time. When Swing Was the Thing provides a descriptive and visual return to the days of that unique period from the mid 1930s to the mid 1940s when fifteen piece swing bands dominated American entertainment, filling ballrooms to capacity, broadcasting on the radio, appearing in the movies, and bringing international fame to the high profile bandleaders.
