Book Description
December 2, 2004, started out like any other day for Gary Tim Collins. As a University of Toledo alumnus, Gary was looking forward to the Mid-American Conference championship game at Ford Field against the University of Miami with his friends. But he wouldn't see or remember the game. Just as he was about to sit down to enjoy the game, he was struck with seizures that landed him in Henry Ford's Intensive Care Unit in a coma for two weeks. It was the prayers of friends and loved ones that helped bring him back. This traumatic experience brought Gary closer to God, when he had previously struggled with finding his purpose and really felt God had something else in mind for him. That something else turned out to be this book, The Light That Illuminates the Flame. In this book, Gary explores common themes of Christianity, like who God is, what he does in our lives, the importance of his Word, the life of Jesus Christ, and, in turn, the way we should live our lives as his faithful followers to draw near to him. It is a thank you to the Almighty God who gave all and saved a man from losing it all. Marty Pennington Lead Pastor Mainstreet Church Walbridge, Ohio. Gary Tim Collins taught for over twenty-four years in the Toledo public school system, working with handicapped and disadvantaged high school students. He lives in Ohio and is actively involved in his church. This is his first book. This is a book that would be good for any growing Christian to read. Gary takes much of his personal life experiences and puts them into layman's terms so that all can learn and grow. As you, like all of us, struggle with life's issues, this book will certainly help you work with your own struggles as well as prepare you to help others on their journey of life. Terry R. Smith Congregational Care Pastor, Mainstreet Church

Book Description
It takes any number of forms. Epigrams. Aphorisms. Fragments. Sayings. Dicta. Sententiae. Facetiae. Pearls of wisdom. Fractions of truth. Maxims. Definitions. Jottings. Miscellaneous musings. Meditations. Ricordi. Pensées. Ephemera. Miniatures. Sketches. Vignettes. Denkbilder. Capriccios. Tiny 'fires without flames' ... In returning to these genres, Matches goes back to the drawing board of modern critique. It sets out to rekindle short-form literary-philosophical reflection, with roots in the Antiquity of Heraclitus and Hippocrates, apogee in the French moralistes (La Rochefoucauld, Pascal, Chamfort ...), and late splendour in German letters (Nietzsche, Kraus, Jünger ...). Moving from art and aesthetics to philosophies past and present, through natural and technological landscapes, beneath the constellations of politics, history and ethics, along the byways of contemporary literary culture--the slow reader with a little spare time will not fail to be struck. Here are pages to peruse and mistrust, texts to think with, a book to put down and ponder, to ponder and put down. A tome to keep handy, handle often, and strike repeatedly against the rough patches of the mind.

Book Description
This “superb history” of artificial light traces the evolution of society—“invariably fascinating and often original . . . [it] amply lives up to its title” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). In Brilliant, Jane Brox explores humankind’s ever-changing relationship to artificial light, from the stone lamps of the Pleistocene to the LEDs embedded in fabrics of the future. More than a survey of technological development, this sweeping history reveals how artificial light changed our world, and how those social and cultural changes in turn led to the pursuit of more ways of spreading, maintaining, and controlling light. Brox plumbs the class implications of light—who had it, who didn’t—through the centuries when crude lamps and tallow candles constricted waking hours. She identifies the pursuit of whale oil as the first time the need for light thrust us toward an environmental tipping point. Only decades later, gas street lights opened up the evening hours to leisure, which changed the ways we live and sleep and the world’s ecosystems. Edison’s bulbs produced a light that seemed to its users all but divorced from human effort or cost. And yet, as Brox’s informative portrait of our current grid system shows, the cost is ever with us. Brilliant is infused with human voices, startling insights, and timely questions about how our future lives will be shaped by light

Book Description
The first in-depth biography of Sam Francis, the legendary American abstract painter who broke all the rules in his personal and artistic life. Light on Fire is the first comprehensive biography of Sam Francis, one of the most important American abstract artists of the twentieth century. Based on Gabrielle Selz’s unprecedented access to Francis’s files, as well as private correspondence and hundreds of interviews, this book traces the extraordinary and ultimately tragic journey of a complex and charismatic artist who first learned to paint as a former air-corps pilot encased for three years in a full-body cast. While still a young man, Francis saw his color-saturated paintings fetch the highest prices of any living artist. His restless desire resulted in five marriages and homes on three continents; his entrepreneurial spirit led to founding a museum, a publishing company, a reforestation program and several nonprofits. Light on Fire captures the art, life, personality, and talent of a man whom the art historian and museum director William C. Agee described as a rare artist participating in the “visionary reconstruction of art history,” defying creative boundaries among the likes of Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning. With settings from World War II San Francisco to postwar Paris, New York, Tokyo, and Los Angeles, Selz crafts an intimate portrait of a man who sought to resolve in art the contradictions he couldn’t resolve in life.
