The Red Abalone Shell

Praise for The Art of Loading Brush "The cumulative force of these lyrical essays takes the reader&rsquo;s breath away, as if we have relearned something essential that contradicts the world all around us . . . Here is a man deeply rooted, wisely aware, offering a manifesto of weighty moral passion. He exposes the counterfeit quality of our dominant life and summons us to know and live differently." &mdash;The Christian Century"In Berry&rsquo;s new book, The Art of Loading Brush, he is a frustrated advocate, speaking out against local wastefulness and distant idealism; he is a gentle friend, asserting as he always has, the hope possible in caring for the world, and your specific place in it . . . The Art of Loading Brush is singular in Berry&rsquo;s corpus." &mdash;The Paris Review  "Berry has faithfully cultivated his given life within the limits of his marginal place in rural Kentucky, and . . . in the essays, stories, and single poem collected in his latest book, he distills his life&rsquo;s varied work into a coherent sense. And like Kentucky bourbon, it is a complex, mature sense, flavored by the fields and forests of his place." &mdash;Englewood Review of Books"Berry's essays, continuing arguments begun in The Unsettling of America 40 years ago, will be familiar to longtime readers, blending his farm work with his interests in literature old and new . . . Vintage Berry sure to please and instruct his many admirers." &mdash;Kirkus Reviews (starred review)  "About everything he loves and everything he regrets he has never written better." &mdash;Booklist (starred review)

The Art of Loading Brush: New Agrarian Writings

"Contentious though they are, Ruddiman's arguments are never mere speculation. The book does an excellent job explaining the basic atmospheric science behind glacial cycles, and it presents convincing quantitative evidence of past atmospheric changes, pointing out the likely role of anthropogenic deforestation and agriculture in the late Holocene. The author's credentials as an established climate scientist lend further weight to the theory."---Sam White, Technology and Culture

"Six stories of romance from six Black young adult authors set this collaborative novel apart, with the tales, all set during a (fictional) summer blackout affecting all of New York City, intertwining as the characters make their way toward a block party in Brooklyn... An easy, entertaining summer read, with each author taking advantage of the premise to write into the underserved space of Black young adult rom-com."

"The HIV/AIDS crisis has involved a perfect storm of controversial issues - drugs, sex, and sexuality - that make for a challenging theological discussion. Cassie Trentaz's new book provides a fresh and courageous contribution to this discussion of HIV/AIDS, and the possibility of thinking ethically and doing ethics within the context of this death-dealing crisis. In particular, Trentaz tackles the issue of risk of exposure through attention to 'risk environments' and the role played by theological discourse in the construction of these troubled and troubling environments. The outcome of this discussion is the proposal of a new modality of thinking and acting based on the theo-ethical value of 'risk-sharing' premised on the vitality of new postures such as informed engagement and hospitality. A much-needed addition to the existing literature authored by figures such as Elias Bongmba." - Anthony B. Pinn, Agnes Cullen Arnold Professor of Humanities, professor of Religious Studies, Founding Director, HERE Project, Director of Research, Institute for Humanist Studies, Rice University

'Cassie J. E. H. Trentaz is to be commended for addressing the topic of HIV and AIDS from a fresh theological/ethical viewpoint. Though HIV and AIDS have been called an 'unprecedented human catastrophe' by the United Nations, theologians and ethicists in the United States basically have ignored the topic except for passing references. Trentaz recognizes this failure in her profession, and seeks in this manuscript to analyze the theological and ethical roots of the stigma and discrimination that uniquely permeate the pandemic rather than focusing solely on risky sexual behavior or injecting drug use of individuals, she draws attention to the lack of free choice women repeatedly experience in countries around the world, as well as the impact of poverty, hunger, violence, and illiteracy in enabling the spread of HIV. This book makes an essential contribution to the developing discussion of how traditional theology and ethics have played a significant role in advancing the pandemic, and also provides clues to how a new theology and ethics could become a life-giving force to help end the age of HIV and AIDS.' - Donald E. Messer, executive director, Center for the Church and Global AIDS, President Emeritus and Professor Emeritus of Practical Theology, Iliff School of Theology, Denver, CO
