Book Description
"A house is a site, the bounds and focus of a community. It is also an artifact, a material extension of its occupants’ lives. This book takes the Japanese house in both senses, as site and as artifact, and explores the spaces, commodities, and conceptions of community associated with it in the modern era. As Japan modernized, the principles that had traditionally related house and family began to break down. Even where the traditional class markers surrounding the house persisted, they became vessels for new meanings, as housing was resituated in a new nexus of relations. The house as artifact and the artifacts it housed were affected in turn. The construction and ornament of houses ceased to be stable indications of their occupants’ social status, the home became a means of personal expression, and the act of dwelling was reconceived in terms of consumption. Amid the breakdown of inherited meanings and the fluidity of modern society, not only did the increased diversity of commodities lead to material elaboration of dwellings, but home itself became an object of special attention, its importance emphasized in writing, invoked in politics, and articulated in architectural design. The aim of this book is to show the features of this culture of the home as it took shape in Japan."

Book Description
The Southern Baptist Convention is often referred to as one of the most conservative mainline denominations in America, yet in recent years heated confrontations between conservatives and liberals have marked the annual SBC meetings. Many pastors and laymen alike are asking, "Where is the SBC headed? Is it creeping liberalism or controlling liberalism that has appeared in the schools and agencies? Is conservatism actually gaining strength within the SBC, as some have claimed?" These are the questions that this book answers with accuracy and frankness. The author recounts the history of the Convention and surveys all of the seminaries and major agencies to find out what SBC leaders really believe. He lets the officials and professors speak for themselves. - Back cover.

In this volume issued to celebrate the centennial of the Nobel Prize-winning poet's birth, the poems and photos reveal the landscape of Isla Negra as well as the home into which Neruda put so much of himself.

Book Description
The classic nature memoir of Cape Cod in the early twentieth century, “written with simplicity, sympathy, and beauty” (New York Herald Tribune). When Henry Beston returned home from World War I, he sought refuge and healing at a house on the outer beach of Cape Cod. He was so taken by the natural beauty of his surroundings that his two-week stay extended into a yearlong solitary adventure. He spent his time trying to capture in words the wonders of the magical landscape he found himself in thrall to. In The Outermost House, Beston chronicles his experiences observing the migrations of seabirds, the rhythms of the tide, the windblown dunes, and the scatter of stars in the changing summer sky. Beston argued: “The world today is sick to its thin blood for the lack of elemental things, for fire before the hands, for water, for air, for the dear earth itself underfoot.” Nearly a century after publication, Beston’s words are more true than ever.
