Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was the way out. Invented on the cusp of the depression, Route 66 was the road out of the mines, off the farm, away from troubled Main Street. It was the road to opportunity. Between 1926 and 1956, many people from the southern and plains states trekked west to California on Route 66, the Mother Road. Some never reached California. Instead, they settled along the road, building restaurants, tourist attractions, gas stations, and motels. The architecture of each structure reflected regional building traditions and the difficulties of the times. The designs of buildings and signs served as invitations for passing travelers to stop, fill their tanks, have a bite, and stay the night. Along Route 66 describes the architectural styles found along the highway from Chicago, Illinois, to Santa Monica, California, and pairs photos with stories of the buildings and of the people who built them, lived in them, and made a living from them. With striking black-and-white images and unforgettable oral histories of this rapidly disappearing architecture, Quinta Scott has docomented the culture of America’s most famous road.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It started in the heartland and originally ended in Los Angeles (not, contrary to myth, at the ocean). It carried truckers crossing the country, Okies fleeing the Dust Bowl, vacationers seeking the sun. It was Americas Main Street, the Mother Road, the Will Rogers Highway, and, at its dangerous curves, Bloody 66. Get your kicks on Route 66 with this wonderfully illustrated tribute to the best-loved highway in this car-loving nation. Michael Witzel shares his expertise and wealth of personal, archive, collector, and contributing photographer images in these pages, offering a nostalgic tour of the charms and oddities of this road through American cultural history. Starting in Chicago and running to Santa Monica, this book highlights the sights along the highway with historic and current photos in then-and-now pairings, and includes Route 66 postcards, road signs, trinkets, maps, brochures, and advertisements. Here we see Route 66 as it was in its heyday and as it is now, the neon glamour of yesterday versus the ghost towns of today.

Several profiles of those with close ties to the Mother Road, including the woman who played Ruthie Joad in the The Grapes of Wrath film, are included.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Postcolonial Biblical Criticism written by R. S. Sugirtharajah and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-06-27 with total page 793 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Postcolonial Biblical Criticism is a comprehensive treatment of a relatively new form of scholarship-one of the most compelling and contested theories to emerge in recent times, and a topic that actively seeks to expand the ways in which the Bible can be studied, interpreted, and applied. Generally speaking, postcolonialism aims to critique and dismantle hegemonic worldviews and power structures, while giving voice to previously marginalized peoples and systems of thought. This approach, often varied in form, has inevitably engaged with the text and reception of the Bible, a scripture that Western colonizers introduced to-and often imposed upon-their colonial subjects. With a globally diverse list of contributors, the Handbook aims to cover the perspective and context of the authors of the Bible, as well as the modern experiences of imperialism, resistance, decolonization, and nationalism. Moreover, the volume includes both a theoretical overview and an exploration of how the field intersects with related areas, such as gender studies, race, postmodernism, and liberation theology.

Download or read book The Way Back Home written by Dennis Chamberland and published by Quantum Editions. This book was released on 2005-09-12 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Holiness is not at all about what you see, but it is, instead, all about what you do not see. Show me a Christian who has lost his fear of making himself of no reputation among the religious people so that he can love the lost with his life, and I will show you a very powerful and dangerous man." In THE WAY BACK HOME a very detailed description of personal holiness is provided so that every Christian can clearly understand just what holiness is - and what it is not. Dennis Chamberland traces the application of holiness all the way back to its scriptural origins. He also warns the reader in a careful, cautionary note of the recent historic misadventures into what holiness should never become. THE WAY BACK HOME is developed as a personal journey into this most necessary, but widely misunderstood aspect of every believer's life. This book is a six week prayer and spiritual journal that gives every reader, regardless of their present spiritual condition, the opportunity to make personal holiness an individual journey. Christians either live courageous lives or they compromise to make everyone happy. Oft called "extremists" by the secular culture, real Christians are forced to make the choice - conciliation or become minimalized and isolated. This is a manual for the committed Christian who dares to uncompromisingly serve Christ and at the same time achieve true unilateral love for everyone else with the same fervor they love the Master. It is a chart down the long and sometime tearful highway called life. It is a book only for the truly faithful. It is a manual that leads the way to the only viable option: brilliant success.
