James Adair's superb accounts of the Native Americans are derived from his personal experiences meeting and interacting with the various tribes during the 18th century colonial era. James Adair was a passionate chronicler, explorer and trader who ventured through North America in an effort to discover new lands and exchange goods with the native peoples. He spent decades traversing what is now the Deep South of the United States, and was among the first white men to discover certain tribes, distinguishing between their behaviors and customs with a depth no historian had managed. Although an amateur scholar, Adair meticulously recorded his observations. As a result, this book contains both mundane and profound facts - the sum combining to form an evocative picture of peoples now lost to time. The joys of community and traditions such as dancing and ceremonies are tempered by the inter-tribal conflicts, murder and blood feuds, incipient alcoholism and increasing threat of European settlers. Close to half of this book is dedicated to the notion that the Native American tribes are descended from the 'lost tribes of Israel'. Now discredited after anthropologists determined the original migration routes, it is thought Adair inserted these analyses in part to cater for popular demand at the time. From the mid-17th to the early-19th century, the notion that the Native Americans were directly descended from the Israelites of ancient times was a popular phenomena. Many scholars postulate that the Book of Mormon was partly inspired by Adair's history. The rest of Adair's work however contains insights that can never be rediscovered or elaborated upon. The wars and gradual conquest of the Native American tribes by white settlers left precious little of their culture available for scrutiny by subsequent generations of historian. As such, this book remains one of the most valuable and cited primary sources on the subject.

It's June 1, 1967, Derry McKenna's fourteenth birthday. He thought his father was no longer worried about him getting into trouble again, but he was wrong. His father is forcing him to accept a four-year scholarship to Cade-Dare Academy, an all-boys boarding school known for its high academic standards and strict discipline.At first, Derry hates the idea of going away to boarding school, but as much as he's been bullied in Clayville, he thinks a fresh start might be a good thing. Maybe he can make the friends he's always wanted. All he has to do is keep quiet about a few things. Sure, everyone will know he's a scholarship student, but no one has to know exactly how poor he is. He doesn't have to tell them that his mom ran off when he was just a toddler and left his father deeply in debt, or that his crappy trailer's only bathroom doesn't even have a door. He definitely won't tell anyone what his father's friend did to him two years ago, and there's no way he'll mention his juvie record.After a few weeks at CDA, Derry is surprisingly happy, but he has no idea how much trouble is heading his way. An old secret will threaten to destroy his new life and before the fall session is over, someone will try to kill him.

When orphaned sixteen-year-old Mackenzie Hunter is unfairly arrested for felony assault on a police officer, he learns his lawyer uncle is conspiring with a corrupt prosecutor to lock him away in juvie prison for two years. That's when Mackenzie does what he's dreamed of doing ever since his mom died seven years ago. He buys a one-way bus ticket from Buffalo to the coast of South Carolina. He's finally going to see the Bergeron Bay Resort, the magical paradise where his parents met, worked, and fell in love the summer before he was born. He hopes to get a job there, and maybe he'll even find a way to track down his dad's family.Mackenzie's long trip turns out to be anything but boring. He meets a young minister who insists on helping him, surprises three muggers with his martial arts skills, stays just ahead of the cops chasing him, spends an educational sleepover with a sexy cougar, and joins forces with a naturist nightclub entertainer who's running from his own problems.When Mackenzie finds a job and a home, he thinks things can't get much better but then he meets Dani, the sexy Southern girl who is make-me-forget-my-own-name pretty. The kind of girl men fought wars over in ancient times. Mackenzie is convinced he'd fight an armed swat team just to hold her in his arms, and although he knows it's a longshot, he prays she'll give him a chance.For the first time in seven years, Mackenzie is happy, but he can't afford to be careless. He has to avoid cops because if they run a check on him, they'll find out he's a runaway with a warrant out for his arrest. As hard as he tries to avoid trouble, it still finds him in the form of a life and death situation. When he makes a desperate attempt to save a friend, he knows it will cost him his freedom and the new life he's come to love.

The life and times of me - James Richard Adams -- Flesh, which will be wrapped in a final worldly robe of brittle fabric. Hair that turned pure white slowly through the years.Brain that studied, learned, conceived ideas, wrote books.Eyes that beheld both the beautiful and the ugly.Ears that listened to a woman’s heartbeat, a baby’s cry, a song of glory.Nose that sensed the aromatic gifts of God’s world.Lips that spoke both good and evil.Shoulders that went from broad and strong to weak and sore.Heart that felt love… and sadness... and both kindness and cruelty.Stomach that tasted the foods the world offered.Loins that sired six wonderful children.Legs that marched in defense of our country.Feet that took me to wonderful places in God’s world.Gone.A memoir of a life spent ... a life where tears were prevalent; but joy interspersed ... together they created a life which was a blessing to some, a horror to others perhaps...but always God's precious gift.Join me in life -- through death as a baby to ministries of joy to heartbreaks and fears.A soul that awaits eternity.A lone, small box awaits burial.“For dust thou art, and to dust thou shalt return.”

Paul Tillich's Philosophy of Culture, Science, and Religion. In this book, one of Tillich's earliest and most profound interpreters, James Luther Adams of Harvard Divinity School, analyzes in detail the system on which Tillich built his monumental structure of thought. There are few other books which do so much to put this great philosopher-theologian in the context of contemporary thought.

Creepy Campfire Tales vol. 1 features 11 all original horror stories that take place during the Halloween and Autumn season in New England and Ohio state parks, though some are at even more secluded camp sites or cabins. All are great tales to read or tell around campfires since a campfire or campground is an integral part of every story. These are not lame retellings of urban legends or outdated ghost stories, but rather innovative rural horror. You'll feel the coziness of a warm campfire on a cold October night as unexpected horrors unfold during pumpkin carving contests, Halloween hayrides, and within the darkness of nearby bodies of water. Experience shapeless monsters, demonic spirits, scarecrows gone wild, zombies, a vampire, an evil radio station, hideous creatures in the woods, and more. The level of horror rises as the book progresses, but the series also aims to interject some spooky fun, although most of the stories end on a rather horrific note. This book is aimed at the young adult market and every story but one feature teens as the main characters, but many adults, including librarians who love great Halloween stories, have enjoyed it. This book has been received with gasps, shivers, and even a few nervous chuckles at readings the author has done at public schools and state campgrounds (See www.JamesDAdams.com for testimonies from school staff and students). Most of the Stories take place in October, with one in September, many during Halloween camp outs at state campgrounds in. www.CreepyCampfireTales.com is the companion web site that includes updates to the stories within and glimpses of future titles in the series.
