Philadelphia
Author: Joseph E. B. Elliott
Publisher: Temple University Press
ISBN: 1439913005
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
Philadelphia possesses an exceptionally large number of places that have almost disappeared—from workshops and factories to sporting clubs and societies, synagogues, churches, theaters, and railroad lines. In Philadelphia: Finding the Hidden City, urban observers Nathaniel Popkin and Peter Woodall uncover the contemporary essence of one of America’s oldest cities. Working with accomplished architectural photographer Joseph Elliott, they explore secret places in familiar locations, such as the Metropolitan Opera House on North Broad Street, the Divine Lorraine Hotel, Reading Railroad, Disston Saw Works in Tacony, and mysterious parts of City Hall. Much of the real Philadelphia is concealed behind facades. Philadelphia artfully reveals its urban secrets. Rather than a nostalgic elegy to loss and urban decline, Philadelphia exposes the city’s vivid layers and living ruins. The authors connect Philadelphia’s idiosyncratic history, culture, and people to develop an alternative theory of American urbanism, and place the city in American urban history. The journey here is as much visual as it is literary; Joseph Elliott’s sumptuous photographs reveal the city's elemental beauty.

The Letters of Jesus
Author: Tom Kingery
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1664217525
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
The Letters of Jesus plums the depths of Revelation 2-3, where Jesus, in a vision to John, dictates letters to seven churches in Asia. He calls on the people of the congregations to repent of particular sins, generally common to all people. He commends them for the right things they are doing, and He promises special blessings in each case. By highlighting the seven letters of the Revelation, Tom Kingery relays an urgent call to repentance. There is almost a now-or-never tone in the words of each letter. Ultimately, the apocalypse offers more light than darkness—especially by the time you’ve read The Revelation to the end. The world has always been full of woe, but it is full of inspiration and hope as well. Kingery brings the words of each letter down to earth and makes them relate well to our human condition. We can all gain something from what he has to say about the letters.
