The Church at the end of the twentieth century

A simple chapel in the village of Huemoz, high in the Swiss Alps, is the setting in which Dr Schaeffer addresses the hundreds of people who come to L'Abri seeking answers to the doubts and cynicism which permeate so many aspects of our modern culture. This book contains sixteen sermons, relating fundamental biblical themes to many of man's deepest needs and challenges. A few chapter headings indicate the diversity of the Author's subjects: The Weakness of God's Servants - The Ark, the Mercy Seat and the Incense Altar - Walking Through the Mud - The Three Men in the Fiery Furnace - David: Lawful and Unlawful Vindication - Ash Heap Lives - The Book of Revelation: Future, Yet a Unity with the Present.

We have all seen books filled with pretty pictures of historic houses. But what are the stories of these houses? In The Storied Houses of Alamo Square, Joe Pecora brings these houses to life in two ways. He presents the parade of people associated with these houses over time, from the architect and builder through the succession of owners. He has even interviewed descendants and collected their stories. Joe Pecora has also brought these houses to life through archive photos and illustrations of them from their earliest days to the present. Some houses, stripped of detail and covered with stucco, have been faithfully restored. To those still shorn of detail, Joe's book presents a template for restoration. Joe walks us through the birth, maturity and rebirth of Alamo Square.

The first comprehensive book on California Faience pottery that operated in Berkeley from 1913 to 1959. Lavishly illustrated with over 700 figures. Written by a grandson of one of the company founders, William Bragdon, the book benefits from copious original documentation. Book will be autographed by author unless otherwise requested.

ANATOMIZE is a series of hymns to the human body and its machinations. Procedural in its working through of the original concept, this book examines the body through the naming and examination of its parts and their transcendental workings. Like Victor Frankenstein of Mary Shelley's novel, Dennerstein creates a vibrant, living being from the fragments lying about the laboratory.

Introducing the queron, a new American poetry form, presented with art by R. Crumb, Roz Chast, Bill Griffith, Wayne White, Henrik Drescher and many more. ++++++++ "Reading Daniel Ari's poems, juxtaposed with artwork by an impressive roster of talented graphisticators, is like entering a cultural Whirlpool washer.

Close in to the vibrant San Francisco Bay Area, sitting on the western corner of largely rural Contra Costa county, Richmond, California is a unique mix of influences and histories. "Rosie the Riveter," thousands of her, worked here in the battleship-building boom of the 1940s. Noted as the largest U.S. city served by a Green Party mayor (Gayle McLaughlin, 2007-2015), Richmond is also the home of Chevron since 1901. In the crosscurrents of its multiple cultures and varied neighborhoods, Richmond fosters a creative vibrancy with multiple performing arts centers, burgeoning theatrical and literary scenes and the 80-year-old Richmond Art Center. This book is a first attempt to represent the range of poetic voices here, to celebrate our differences and our pride, and to honor the city and its astonishing cultural range. In addition to the poets who submitted work, and the people who spread the word about this project, and those who have helped with design and creation, thanks are due to The Richmond Arts and Culture Commission for awarding the grant to poet and curator Daniel Ari.
