Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Harvard Square isn’t what it used to be.” Spend any time there, and you’re bound to hear that lament. Yet people have been saying the very same thing for well over a century. So what does it really mean that Harvard Square—or any other beloved Main Street or downtown—“isn’t what it used to be”? Catherine J. Turco, an economic sociologist and longtime denizen of Harvard Square, set out to answer this question after she started to wonder about her own complicated feelings concerning the changing Square. Diving into Harvard Square’s past and present, Turco explores why we love our local marketplaces and why we so often struggle with changes in them. Along the way, she introduces readers to a compelling set of characters, including the early twentieth-century businessmen who bonded over scotch and cigars to found the Harvard Square Business Association; a feisty, frugal landlady who became one of the Square’s most powerful property owners in the mid-1900s; a neighborhood group calling itself the Harvard Square Defense Fund that fought real estate developers throughout the 1980s and ’90s; and a local businesswoman who, in recent years, strove to keep her shop afloat amid personal tragedy, the rise of Amazon, and a globalizing property market that sent her rent soaring. Harvard Square tells the crazy, complicated love story of one quirky little marketplace and in the process, reveals the hidden love story Americans everywhere have long had with their own Main Streets and downtowns. Offering a new and powerful lens that exposes the stability and instability, the security and insecurity, markets provide, Turco transforms how we think about our cherished local marketplaces and markets in general. We come to see that our relationship with the markets in our lives is, and has always been, about our relationship with ourselves and one another, how we come together and how we come apart.

Book excerpt: 'She will do as I have bidden her.' Catherine Sloper is heiress to a fortune and the social eminence associated with Washington Square. She attracts the attention of a good-looking but penniless young man, Morris Townsend. His suit is encouraged by Catherine's romantically-minded aunt, Mrs Penniman, but her father, a clever physician, is convinced that his motives are merely mercenary. He will not consent to the marriage, regardless of the cost to his daughter. Out of this classic confrontation Henry James fashioned one of his most deftly searching shorter fictions. First published in 1880 but set some forty years earlier in a pre-Civil War New York, the novel reflects ironically on the restricted world in which its heroine is marooned, seating herself at its close 'for life, as it were'. In his introduction Adrian Poole reflects on the book's gestation and influences, the significance of place, and the insight with which the four prinicipal players are drawn. The edition includes an account of the real-life tale that sparked James's imaginative genius.

Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lafayette Square’s rich history dates back to the founding of the District of Columbia when Pierre L’Enfant planned it as part of the grounds for the president’s house. The square was one of the first open spaces within the city to be designed as a public park. Across Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House, the park’s neighborhood became home to presidents, vice presidents, cabinet members, diplomats, inventors, journalists, heroes, authors, scientists, law breakers, and scoundrels. Today, the square and its sculptures are surrounded by government offices, but symbolically, it is the White House’s front yard, making it an attractive destination. Using historic photographs, Lafayette Square captures the square’s social, political, and architectural history, highlighting important past events.

Book excerpt: Countless academic studies, Christian leaders, and personal experience show a startling and disturbing fact about the church: most Christians do not understand their faith. Square 1: Bible Study for Christian Foundations explains clearly what the Bible teaches, why Christians believe it, and how to walk with Jesus. The book brings foundational biblical doctrine to life through plain language, thought-provoking images, and challenging application questions for group discussion. The purpose of the book is to provide a biblical foundation for the Christian faith, worldview, and lifestyle. So, what makes it different? • Everything starts with God’s nature, character, and attributes • Its pages are visually stimulating with color imagery • The book does not begin assuming the reader has high biblical literacy or holds Christian worldview and is therefore, laced with Christian apologetics • Square 1 treats 21st century topics like identity, human rights, and sexuality as foundational for believers to understand their faith • The book tackles end-times and the new creation with unbelievable clarity Square 1 is a masterful blend of theological, philosophical, pastoral, apologetical, and biblical material. At the end of this study, the reader should be able to walk out the Christian life in the power of the Holy Spirit, in expectation of Christ's return, to the praise and glory of the Father. They will also be capable of understanding, explaining, and defending the central claims of Christianity, which is the good news of Jesus Christ. Square 1 is systematic theology for anybody.
