Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. The University that was at the heart of the research to discover the vaccines for the pandemic pens the story of how it all happened. In 2020, as COVID-19 threw the U.S. higher education system into turmoil, university administrators around the country debated whether it was prudent -- or even possible -- to teach students in person or conduct laboratory research amid a once-in-a-century pandemic. For the leadership at Vanderbilt University, the answer to the question was a resounding Yes. Viewing residential education and collaborative research as essential to its academic and societal mission, Vanderbilt was one of a small number of America's top universities to put rigorous safety protocols in place to allow students, faculty, and research personnel back to campus in the fall. Told with recollections and insights from Vanderbilt's leaders, students, faculty, and staff, and moving at a pace matching the events it describes, A Year Like No Other takes readers from Vanderbilt's near-shutdown in the spring through its reopening for the 2020-2021 academic year, providing an inside look at how the university coped not only with COVID-19, but also with a tragic night of tornadoes and the urgent calls for racial justice following the killing of George Floyd. A Year Like No Other also highlights some of the vital contributions that faculty at Vanderbilt and Vanderbilt University Medical Center have made to the development of COVID-19 vaccines and therapies, with research fueled in part by Dolly Parton, the beloved country music legend. A Year Like No Other captures a singular moment in the university's history while delivering a concise portrait of successful crisis management playing out amid the fast-changing circumstances of global health threats and a barrage of local hardships.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. A Moment in Time will encourage believers to entertain principles of grace-based theology and, after careful consideration, embrace them. When we're convinced of the gracious simplicity in acquiring the free gift of eternal life, it impacts how we share our faith. When we're confident this free gift can't be lost, it calms us down. When we're certain Christ will repay and recompense us for what we do with this free gift, we're motivated to be holy as He is holy. In looking at the biblical text, Christians will be reminded that justification is provided at no cost to them. They'll see there's room for failure in the Christian life. But they'll also learn where there's great grace, there's great accountability-and great reward. It is wonderful to see this fresh look at many of the grace issues at a popular level. Mark Spencer has given us an insightful look into the implications of grace in the task of evangelism and discipleship. Recommended reading -Dr. Joseph Dillow Mark Spencer has the wonderful ability to communicate deep biblical truths in an interesting and straightforward way. The reader will find a clear articulation of the grace message and convincing arguments against those who have corrupted it. I am glad to see this comprehensive and persuasive presentation of the gospel of grace and its implications. It will serve us well as we seek to share this message with the world. -Dr. Charlie Bing This is a book that needs to be taken seriously as a helpful guide to developing a strategic plan to be servants of Christ in our areas of influence. As Mark said, his last 25 years as a police officer went by overnight - so how fast will the years fly by in our lives? We all have a mission and an obligation to be useful to the Master. -Dr. John South.…

Zustand: Good. Ernest Hemingway was the scion of a century of hyperbole and mass media. While previous public figures like Dickens and Twain reached an audience of thousands, Hemingway, thanks to the popular press and the movies, reached an audience of millions. Hemingway and His Conspirators: Hollywood, Scribners, and the Making of American Celebrity Culture shows readers how, aside from talent, the author of The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms became the premier public author of the twentieth century. Paying close attention to the nature of the marketplace from 1923 to 1933, Hemingway focuses on Ernest Hemingway as a young professional writer in a newly emerging commercial context. The author, born in 1899, famous by 1933, was drawn to public display, of course, but Hemingway goes beyond other books to show how he and his work were packaged, marketed, and sold in the early years of his career. Hemingway shows how and why Hemingway moved from Boni & Liveright to Scribners even though the former was in certain ways the better publishing house for him. It shows what Scribners and its influential editor Max Perkins did well for Hemingway, and what they may have done less well. Perhaps most important, it shows how the movie version of A Farewell to Arms, adapted from his novel, catapulted Hemingway and his career. Ignored by his biographers, the reams of studio publicity associated with Paramount Pictures' A Farewell to Arms (1932) countered his sagging literary reputation in the early 1930s and gave the world the Hemingway persona that would so intrigue the public and so undermine the author's talent. Based on revealing letters and other documents from archives, Hemingway has the rigor of a scholarly study and the dramatis personae of a Hollywood production--not only Hemingway and Perkins but Scott Fitzgerald, Helen Hayes, Sinclair Lewis, David O. Selznick, and Gary Cooper. Set in an endlessly fascinating age, the 1920s, it tells a backstage story of the tangle of. …
