On Zion's Mount: Mormons, Indians, And The American Landscape, John Bowes Nov 2008

On Zion's Mount: Mormons, Indians, And The American Landscape, John Bowes

John P. Bowes

Jared Farmer explains in the opening sentence of this book that he has written "the creation story of a landmark". More specifically, he has written about the manner in which Mt. Timpanogos, a peak that is neither the highest in the Wasatch Range nor the most historically prominent landmark in the Utah Valley, became such a beloved monument in contemporary Utah. This task requires a great deal of effort and insight, for Mt. Timpanogos's rise to prominence depended on a complicated series of events that are closely tied to the ways in which Mormons in particular and Americans in general …

Review Of From Civil Rights To Human Rights: Martin Luther King, Jr. And The Struggle For Economic Justice By Thomas F. Jackson, Cynthia Taylor Mar 2008

Review Of From Civil Rights To Human Rights: Martin Luther King, Jr. And The Struggle For Economic Justice By Thomas F. Jackson, Cynthia Taylor

Cynthia Taylor

"Thomas F. Jackson presents a secular view of an American religious icon. Jackson wants his readers to recall what contemporaries and other movement leaders never forgot: Martin Luther King, Jr.'s radicalism. In so doing, Jackson portrays the civil rights leader as a politically astute activist, a perspective often downplayed or forgotten in other biographies and studies that concentrate primarily on King as a religious figure with an emphasis on his orthodox religious beliefs and activities. This book challenged my stereotype of King as a political neophyte, totally dependent on the advice and guidance of older, more seasoned black political …

Trapped In The Creation Museum, Stephen Asma Jan 2008

Trapped In The Creation Museum, Stephen Asma

Stephen T Asma

Into the swampy debate over evolution has waded the new Creation Museum, in Petersburg, Ky. In an America divided between those who accept Darwin's theories and those who believe God created the world in six days, it seeks to win moderates and compromisers over to its side. Shortly after the museum opened last spring, I made a pilgrimage to witness this quirky new spectacle of Americana...

Iraq And The Challenge Of Counterinsurgency, Thomas Mockaitis
