Paperback. Etat : Good. No better leader, no better example, no better friend are words to describe Paul Leonard and his incredible drive to serve others. This book is a well-told story of a life well-lived, reminding those of us in the church to be church outside the church. Here Leonard gives an account of his half-century-plus involvment with church, from a student at Davidson College, to pastoring, to post-church disillusionment, revealing the source of his incredible drive to serve others. By opening his life with candid reflection and insights, he inspires others to do a better job of sharing the gifts God gave us. His description of his long, sincere, and intense search for a church to accommodate his deep faith and call to service is profoundly unsettling and would be valuable reading for every religious leader and anyone else who cares about the future of organized religion.…

Hardback. Etat : Very Good. Authors Marion Ellis and Howard Covington have teamed up again, this time to celebrate the centennial of the Mecklenburg County Bar. Their combined take on its history is one that lawyers and non-lawyers alike will find compelling as it sheds light not only on one community and its attorneys, but on the profession and the nation as a whole. An Independent Profession begins long before the first formal organization of the local bar. It traces a two hundred forty-three year story from one lawyer and a one-room log courthouse in a frontier colonial backwater through the legal profession's role in shaping, and in turn being shaped by, the growth of a community to its present-day role in the affairs of a major American city. And it tells this story against the backdrop of the political, economic and social evolution of the community, the state and nation. It moves from a duel between two eighteenth-century historical figures (both attorneys) to personal correspondence between a judge and a lawyer, looking back at the end of bitterly contested litigation that created a national model for dealing with racial segregation in public schools. It covers the 1920s controversy over Darwinsim and the struggles over labor unionism in the South, climaxed by the Loray Mill murder trial that attracted the attention of the nation.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. Advance praise for 100 Love Notes Hyong Yi admonishes us to Life Fiercely. Love Completely at the close of his moving collection, 100 Love Notes, a conversation between Dearest and Beloved, dedicated to his wife, Catherine Ann Zanga. These notes of inspiration, joy, tenacity, courage, hope and love between Catherine and Hyong move me beyond tears. That they are accompanied by the intensely vivid and evocative work by a diverse bouquet of visual artists, makes this collection a unique and powerful tribute to a woman who spent most of her adult life in public service to those in Charlotte, North Carolina. I am proud to endorse this heart-expanding book. Each page will make you fall in love again and again. --Pam Uschuk, author of Blood Flower and Crazy Love, American Book Award Because of these deeply affecting love notes, because of these strikingly gorgeous illustrations, we readers are able to listen to two hearts beating together. There is lovely humor in these pages, tender details and emotional truths. From this couple's first date (and the whole Spanish anchovy she ate) to the anniversary of her death, we travel along with them, knowing, although the ending is not what we would wish, we all will ultimately be healed. -- Judy Goldman, author of Losing My Sister 100 Love Notes by Hyong Yi and his contributors create a flow of poetry, image, and planning, celebrating the yin and yang of Life. As Lillian Too says in Chinese Wisdom, There can be no light (yang) without dark (yin); no day without night; no hills without valleys; no dynamism without stillness; no plus without minus; no male without female. --Laura Grosch, artist married to fellow artist Herb Jackson.

Hardback. Etat : Fair. Someone once said, If you start forgetting how things began, you stop beginning things. With undaunting energy and perseverance, Mike Lassiter spent six years traveling across the state of North Carolina, looking for the lifeblood of small towns, community icons and historic businesses--the beginnings of Tar Heel commerce, livelihoods, family enterprises. At first it was old storefronts and signage that captured his imagination; soon he became enamored with the people inside the buildings and their stories. In the old days, before big box retailers and interstates, folks relied on mainstays within their communities. Pretty much whatever anyone needed they purchased at the general store. (As they say at Mast Store, the granddaddy of all N.C.'s general stores, If you can't buy it here, you don't need it.) Back then, folks gathered their news while sitting around a pot-bellied stove at the hardware store, or in a chair at the barber shop. The local druggists whipped up cures for whatever ailed their customers (or their customers' livestock); likewise they created some of the tastiest confections known to youngsters, ice cream sodas and orangeades. For entertainment, nothing beat the picture show or a meal out. Today, some of these institutions still survive--a few thriving, others mere skeletons of their former selves. Often, just a faded signpost or abandoned marquee is all that's left and must suffice to conjure a memory of how life used to be. This book explores not only beginnings, but continuations, and sadly a few endings, too. It showcases second-, third- and, in a few rare cases, fifth-generation businesses. Nine chapters, each devoted to one business genre--from general stores to barber shops to theatres-- include an informative and entertaining essay and numerous photographs. A county-by-county index follows, making Our Vanishing Americana a testament to North Carolina's unsung heroes and an indispensable guide to the state's treasures.…
