Emphasizes the importance of style in writing for a global audience

Style: Lessons in Clarity and Grace asserts that style is a matter of making informed choices in the service of one's readers. While writers know best what they want to say, readers ultimately decide if they've said it well. This flagship text builds on that premise, with updates on subjects such as gender-neutral writing and writing for global audiences. It brings the authors' innovative approach to the needs of today's students, while maintaining that writing with style is a civic and ethical virtue.

Williams uses an exegetical approach focusing on 1 Corinthians 13:11 and Philippians 3:13 as a framework for returning to pursuing your purpose and passion amid internal and external turmoil.

While there are many categories of identity that often serve to divide us, pain is one experience that unites all human beings. All of us, no matter our race, creed, gender, or socioeconomic status, know what it is like to feel pain. While there is no shame in experiencing pain in and of itself, issues arise when we do not address it-issues that might manifest in unexpected ways and that have the potential to affect future generations.

To help us not only cope with our pain but also grow from it, Pastor Joseph K. Williams, Sr. has written Healing for R.A.S.H.E.K.A.: Moving from a Run Away Soul Hurt Every Kind Away to a Refreshed Anointed Soul Healed Every Kind Away. Using biblical passages as a framework for his narrative, Pastor Joe illustrates how to confront our pain points that keep us from maximizing our potential and provides us with a spiritual foundation to pave the way for healing to begin.

Establishing an intersection between the fields of traditional music studies, English folk music history and the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, this book responds to the problematic emphasis on cultural identity in the way traditional music is understood and valued.

Establishing an intersection between the fields of traditional music studies, English folk music history and the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, this book responds to the problematic emphasis on cultural identity in the way traditional music is understood and valued.

Williams locates the roots of contemporary definitions of traditional music, including UNESCO-designated intangible cultural heritage, in the theory of English folk music developed in 1907 by Cecil Sharp. Through a combination of Deleuzian philosophical analysis and historical revision of England's folk revival of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, Williams makes a compelling argument that identity is a restrictive ideology that runs counter to the material processes of traditional music's production. Williams reimagines Sharp's appropriation of Darwinian evolutionary concepts, asking what it would mean today to say that traditional music 'evolves', in light of recent advances in evolutionary theory. The book ultimately advances a concept of traditional music that eschews the term's long-standing ontological and axiological foundations in the principle of identity.

For scholars and graduate students in musicology, cultural studies, and ethnomusicology, the book is an ambitious and provocative challenge to entrenched habits of thought in the study of traditional music and the historiography of England's folk revival.

On a routine escort mission to a human colony, Lieutenant Michael Chalmers is pulled out of hyper-sleep a month early. The RSA Rockne Hummel is well off course and-as the ship's navigator-it's up to him to figure out why. It's supposed to be a simple fix, but when he attempts to identify their position in the known universe, nothing registers on his scans. Nothing at all. The vessel has catapulted beyond the reach of starlight by at least a hundred trillion light-years. Then a planetary-mass object materializes behind them. It's burning brightly even without a star to heat it. Hundreds of damaged ships are locked in its orbit, but before the scanners go offline, the crew discovers there are no life-signs aboard any of them. As system failures sweep through the Hummel, neither Chalmers nor the pilot can prevent the vessel from crashing into the surface near a mysterious ancient city. And that's where the real nightmare begins.

Once again, Joe Williams, ragman, has me wanting everyone I know to read this, his latest book. He whirls and twirls dervishly with the themes of existence/nonexistence. Duality and non-duality. Deep suffering and profound grace in connection with all that is. He pairs despair with gratitude, and artfully weaves a tapestry of human frailty and possibility. I am deeply grateful for his wisdom and for his art and service. He is one of the few Grandfathers in our medicine family. He serves the Grandmothers faithfully and feeds us all with his reverently irreverent and playful wisdom.

Through careful analysis of the Romanesque cathedral of Molfetta (in Apulia, southern Italy), Williams demonstrates how the commercial boom of the medieval Mediterranean changed the way churches were funded, designed, and built. The young bishopric of Molfetta, emerging in an economy of long-distance trade, competed with much wealthier institutions in its own diocese. Funding for the cathedral was slow and unpredictable. To adapt, the builders designed toward versatility, embracing multi-functionalism, change over time, specialization, and a heterogeneous style.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.

Following a harrowing experience on the planet Furnace, Crown Representative Elizabeth Gallagher accompanies the former captain of the RSA Rockne Hummel to the prison station Haley Penitentiary, known as the Pit, to begin his life sentence for crimes committed against his crew. Nothing is as it seems in the Pit, however, as prison riots have become the norm and the station's guards, including Yolanda Winterhaven, suspect sabotage. The arrival of the Hummel's captain only increases the inmates' agitation until the entire station is on lockdown and alien prisoners wreak havoc on each cell block. Meanwhile, at the Pluto Research Station, Ishii Kaminari witnesses the arrival of an impossible craft with an enigmatic pilot who spirits her away to the Pit without warning, where she is thrust into a life or death situation in a battle between two supernatural beings. As the three women fight for survival, they must figure out who they can trust, and how to leave the station without any unwanted passengers. Continuing the events of the FURNACE trilogy, PIT is a fun, action-packed ride that sets up the series for an epic conclusion.
