Judge This Book By Its Cover
We judge a book by its cover and often judge one another based on first impressions. I am an Epistle read by all men, and hopefully, upon my heart, you read the Gospel of Jesus Christ, who saves the lost. Therefore, go ahead and judge me. The judgments that are defined towards the seven churches in the book of Revelation are judgments to help us stand in the day of difficulties. Judgments are going to come, and with Christ's grace, we can stand firm in the judgments that are needed in our lives to be who God created us to be.

Old and Forgotten Cemeteries of New Jersey
With the completion of Old and Forgotten Cemeteries of NJ, Morris County Part 4, I feel we are in the home stretch of documenting most of the remaining family burial grounds and older cemeteries in the county. There is still more work to be done though, because locating them, and bringing awareness to their condition, are just the first steps to their preservation. I am simply amazed by the feedback and support I have received by the many people I have encountered during my journey.

Precocious and clear-eyed, she must make her voice heard in order to protect her loved ones from the imminent disasters her small community stubbornly ignores. But what begins as a fight for survival soon leads to something much more: the birth of a new faith ... and a startling vision of human destiny.

Under his rule, Lauren's colony--a minority religious faction led by a young Black woman--becomes a target for the president's reign of terror and oppression. Years later, Asha Vere reads the journals of a mother she never knew. As she searches for answers, she struggles to reconcile with the legacy of a mother caught between her duty to her chosen family and her calling to lead humankind into a better future.

In Pursuit of Freedom
This book emerges out of a life and vocational journey of Rev Dr. Nevers Mumba. It highlights how being a man of the collar responded and extended beyond the Pastoral call into public service challenging every odd and barrier one could think of. Many politicians and some church people in Zambia and in other African countries have for long time held the belief that church and politics could not mix and that politics is a dirty game. This book is an answer to the debate of whether a Christian should be involved in politics or not and presents a strong narrative of the need to have men and women of sound morality in high places. Evil triumphs when good men do nothing is a proverb attributed to Edmund Burke that expresses the idea that inaction against evil allows it to continue or proliferate. This proverb is the hook on which this book hangs challenging the commonly held stereotype 'Politics is Dirty.' What should rather be known is that 'allowing dirty people in politics has adverse effect on a nation.' In pursuit of freedom provides details of the experiences of Dr. Nevers Mumba as living proof that men and women of right morality are well suited to serve the political office. This book is also designed to align the body of Christ to that fact of knowing that good management of the country and equitable delivery of services depends on the morality and integrity of its leaders. The discourse "In Pursuit of Freedom" is a clarion call for men and women of faith with right moral values to participate in changing the face of African politics. This is a faith generation voicing out its credentials in the political realm not only in Zambia but as an emerging geopolitical movement.

Halloweird
In the flickering candlelight of pitchy Autumn nights, malevolent spirits crowd the gloom and weird, terrible things come to pass. Ever since the days of the druidic Samhain, storytellers have observed the tradition of spinning tall, twisted tales of dark magic, spectral stalkings and unearthly creatures to mark this festival's uniquely frightening aura. Collecting up a haunting haul of tales and a handful of weird seasonal poetry from across the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, this new volume celebrates the riotous weird of the Halloween season through the works of legendary ghost story writers such as Edith Wharton alongside rare literary treats, rediscovered by Johnny Mains and returning to print for the first time since their original publication.
Rethinking a Radical Reputation

It unravels the tensions and contradictions of a place where beauty and resistance, decay and resilience are coexistent. Rather than reinforcing or dismissing its clich矇s and stereotypes, this exploration reveals the layered histories and political narratives that shape Exarcheia's past, present and future.
At Bat III
For Mel Glenn, baseball is more than just a pleasant pastime, it is poetry in motion. Baseball plays a big part in the game of life, helping Mel and millions of like-minded fans cope with everyday stress and life-changing challenges. As we face the realities of aging, for example, Mel shows how following baseball keeps the playful child inside us alive and happy. And while Mel may "live and die" with the performance of his favorite teams and players, he reminds us that what happens on the diamond remains all in good fun.-Sam Friedman, author, Spikes: The Story of the First Lady of Baseball, As Told to Jackie RobinsonMel Glenn is passionate about sports. He reads, thinks, and talks about sports throughout the day, month, and year, anticipating upcoming games and entire seasons in his head. Sports even helps set his mood depending on whether his team wins or loses. But what sets Mel apart from the average fan is that his love of sports inspires him to write some beautiful poetry. In this, his third collection, each poem is a surprise. Reading them I've nodded at what he noticed, laughed at an irony, appreciated a metaphor, and as a fellow Brooklynite, commiserated and celebrated the fates of our teams.-Dror Kahn, co-author, The Lindens Still Bloom: A Survivor's StoryMel Glenn's poetic homage grabs the reader as it celebrates what makes baseball so special. I liked every poem and loved many, and I expect you will as well. From the first pitch of spring training to the last out in the World Series, baseball is a long season for players and fans alike. The poems in Mel's latest compilation honor those who make magic from March to October, reliving the moments that make us feel total exhilaration or complete despair - both emotions often experienced during the same inning. Read each poem with the respect and reverence it deserves, for baseball really does still matter in the lives of dedicated fans like Mel and me.-John E. Jarvey, baseball fan

The wildfire risk management in buildings
Despite increasing investments in wildfire management, the occurrence of larger and more intense wildfires has become more frequent. Consequently, the impact on infrastructure located in high-risk areas has led to dramatic situations, involving the destruction of assets with significant economic and social value and, in extreme cases, the loss of human lives. This work aims to share technical and scientific knowledge on the most effective ways to manage wildfire risk in buildings, specifically dwellings.
