Book Description
Germanna Record 20: Germanna Studies: Essays Honoring John V. Blankenbaker is a collection of essays by a range of contemporary scholars with a strong interest in Germanna. Each essay draws on the years of scholarship in Germanna-related topics on the part of each of the contributors to the volume, as their way of honoring John Blankenbaker for his many years of research, publication, and speaking on Germanna topics. The contents include: Transcriptions and translations of the emigration permissions of four of the 1714 immigrant families, Holtzclaw, Fishback-Rector, and Cuntz; a study of early Germanna area roads and the settlers' participation in their construction; an overview essay of the emigration of German-speakers through London to British North American colonies from Nova Scotia to Georgia from 1680-1750, as a broad context for the Germanna groups; an updated and expanded genealogy of the descendants of Michael "Big Mike" Clore; an architectural history and analysis of Hebron Lutheran Church, with special emphasis on the German timber-framing techniques employed; a study of Christopher Zimmerman and his family's tavern in the village of Stevensburg, Virginia; a mapping essay of the Germanna family landholdings in the Little Fork community of Culpeper County, with an 11 x 17 fold-out map included; and a study of the Germanna area in the difficult, destructive Civil War years with a survey of surviving buildings and earthworks, including those on Germanna Foundation property. Many of the essays are illustrated with documents, maps, period photographs, and contemporary photographs. All essays are carefully documented, and the 300-page volume is indexed. The editor, Katharine L. Brown, and the Germanna president, J. Marc Wheat, both provide brief introductory essays.

Book Description
This publication follows the tradition of a German Festschrift, consisting of essays written in honor of Dr. Brown and her twenty-plus years of service in research, writing, publishing and governance for the Memorial Foundation of the Germanna Colonies in Virginia, Inc. The essays were written by contemporaries of Dr. Brown covering topics of interest to all Germanna families, including the European fundraising travels by Hebron Lutheran's first pastor, the history and struggles of Johann Justus Albrecht who recruited the German immigrants to Virginia in 1714, the life and works of America's foremost pipe organ designer, David Tannenberg, who created the organ that has served the Hebron church since the early 1800s, research that pinpoints the site of Hebron's first Glebhaus, an important distinction of Germanna's immigrant Peter Heide, sometimes confused with a man of similar name from New York, and the tragic history of a Germanna ancestor who was accused and imprisoned as a witch in Germany in the late 1500s.

This superb study is the culmination of decades of research by John Blankenbaker, the foremost authority on the families that came to Germanna in 1717 and others that joined them later. Every descendant of these families needs this book. It includes background on Governor Spotswood, the Germans' sojourn in England, Hebron Church, land grants in Madison County, and much more. Every family surname has a section devoted to its background in Germany and early years in Virginia. Descriptive photographs from the Blankenbakers' travels to the villages from which these families emigrated are a bonus.

Book Description
Dismissed as camp by critics but revered by fans, the kaiju or "strange creature" film has become an iconic element of both Japanese and American pop culture. From homage to parody to advertising, references to Godzilla--and to a lesser extent Gamera, Rodan, Ultraman and others--abound in entertainment media. Godzilla in particular is so ubiquitous, his name is synonymous with immensity and destruction. In this collection of new essays, contributors examine kaiju representations in a range of contexts and attempt to define this at times ambiguous genre.
