Sinopsis

Halloween Origins explores the captivating journey of Halloween, revealing its transformation from ancient Celtic roots to a global phenomenon. The book traces the evolution of Samhain, a pagan festival marked by rituals and beliefs, into the modern celebration of All Hallows' Eve. It highlights how customs like wearing costumes originated not just from playful intent, but also from the need to ward off wandering spirits. 

 
The book examines the Christianization of pagan practices and the transatlantic journey of Halloween traditions to North America, where they underwent further adaptation. Halloween Origins also offers a fresh perspective on the commercialization of Halloween, exploring debates surrounding cultural appropriation and authenticity. It utilizes diverse sources, including folklore archives and contemporary ethnographic studies, to present a nuanced understanding of this continually evolving holiday.

 
Structured chronologically, the book begins with pre-Christian Celtic traditions and progresses through the Christianization period, transatlantic adaptations, and modern commercial influences. This approach provides a comprehensive overview, making it valuable for anyone interested in the cultural and historical significance of Halloween.

    Pop culture does more than entertain us. At its best, it is a mirror—maybe sometimes a distorted fun house mirror—reflecting back to us beauty, absurdity, and profound truth of what it means to be human. These musicians, actors, writers, and producers often sit in the prophet's chair and offer us modern parables with deeper meanings waiting for those with ears to hear. When we watch and listen through a spiritual lens, their stories challenge our beliefs, help us understand our faith, and encourage us to find ways to change how we treat others and the world we share. Are You Still Watching?: Using Pop Culture to Tune In, Find God and Get Renewed for Another Season highlights different entertainment vehicles like television shows, movies, music, and podcasts that showcase the best in humanity or demonstrate ways we can grow in our faith.

    The Forgotten Soldier

    Bestselling author Charlie Connelly returns with a First World War memoir of his great uncle, Edward Connelly, who was an ordinary boy sent to fight in a war the likes of which the world had never seen. 
    But this is not just his story; it is the story of all the young forgotten soldiers who fought and bravely died for their country 
    The Forgotten Soldier tells the story of Private Edward Connelly, aged 19, killed in the First World War a week before the Armistice and immediately forgotten, even, it seems, by his own family. 
    Edward died on exactly the same day, and as part of the same military offensive, as Wilfred Owen. They died only a few miles apart and yet there cannot be a bigger contrast between their legacies. Edward had been born into poverty in west London on the eve of the twentieth century, had a job washing railway carriages, was conscripted into the army at the age of eighteen and sent to the Western Front from where he would never return. 
    He lies buried miles from home in a small military cemetery on the outskirts of an obscure town close to the French border in western Belgium. No-one has ever visited him. 
    Like thousands of other young boys, Edward’s life and death were forgotten. 
    By delving into and uncovering letters, poems and war diaries to reconstruct his great uncle’s brief life and needless death; Charlie fills in the blanks of Edward’s life with the experiences of similar young men giving a voice to the voiceless. Edward Connelly’s tragic story comes to represent all the young men who went off to the Great War and never came home. 
    This is a book about the unsung heroes, the ordinary men who did their duty with utmost courage, and who deserve to be remembered. 
    In this deeply personal and historical account, Connelly brings to life the autobiography of a forgotten hero, painting a vivid picture of the harsh realities of war. The memoirs of Edward Connelly, an ordinary boy turned soldier, serve as a poignant reminder of the countless brave souls who were lost in the Great War, their stories untold and their sacrifices unacknowledged. 
    For fans of Toby Carr (Moderate Becoming Good Later), Raynor Winn (Landlines), Michael Palin (Travelling to Work), and Matthew Green (The Wizard Of The Nile).

    The story of the interplay between finance, freeways, and urban form in the twentieth century and their enduring impact on American cities and neighborhoods in the twenty-first. 
     
     
     
    American cities are distinct from almost all others in the degree to which freeways and freeway travel dominate urban landscapes. In The Drive for Dollars, Brian D. Taylor, Eric A. Morris, and Jeffrey R. Brown tell the largely misunderstood story of how freeways became the centerpiece of US urban transportation systems, and the crucial, though usually overlooked, role of fiscal politics in bringing freeways about. The authors chronicle how the ways that we both raise and spend transportation revenue have shaped our transportation system and the lives of those who use it, from the era before the automobile to the present day. They focus on how the development of one revolutionary type of road—the freeway—was inextricably intertwined with money. With the nation's transportation finance system at a crossroads today, this book sheds light on how we can best fund and plan transportation in the future. The authors draw on these lessons to offer ways forward to pay for transportation more equitably, provide travelers with better mobility, and increase environmental sustainability and urban livability.
