Public addresses make a difference-a huge difference! Whether we think of public addresses as orations, as speeches, or as persuasive written documents, so many of these public addresses are intricately linked to the kind of nation and society we experience in the United States in the early twenty-first century.American Rhetorical Excellence is the most complete and up-to-date single volume on American rhetoric and oratory. In a readable and interesting style, Dr. Cotham explains what makes a speech great and enduring, and he dares to list and rank the top ten public addresses in American history. Altogether, 101 famous public addresses are discussed in brief essays, and Dr. Cotham offers insights into both the context and practical application of these important addresses. A wide range of other topics are discussed, including American political speaking, presidential debating, campaign speaking, famous pieces of written rhetoric, and American demagoguery.Although choosing from the veritable pantheon of American speakers and speeches is a difficult and even contentious challenge, American Rhetorical Excellence will equally challenge students of history, political science, and communication to think deeply about the fascinating ways in which American rhetoric has shaped the politics, culture, religion, and reformation of the United States.

Three siblings from the Philippines wrote down what they remembered about being imprisoned by the Japanese during World War II. Pamela J. Brink, Robert A. Brink, and John W. Brink all survived the ordeal, but only one of them-Pamela-is still alive today. She shares their experiences in this memoir that recounts the horrors of war as seen through the eyes of children. At age thirteen, John W. was the oldest when they were captured, and his account is likely the most accurate of all three. Robert and Pamela's versions are different as they saw everything through younger, more fearful eyes. All three, however, remember being overjoyed when they were rescued from the Los Baños prison camp. When they were freed, everyone wanted to hear about atrocities, but their slow starvation could not compete with the horrors that Jews suffered in Nazi Germany. Most ignored their tales, and over time, they stopped telling them. Three adults look back at their childhood experiences as prisoners of war, how they survived, and how they continued on in Only by the Grace of God.

Upon reaching adulthood, many people go from job to job seeking simply to survive. If college, technical school, or apprenticeship in a trade isn't an appealing option, there's another avenue young adults may wish to consider: the military.In A Marine from Renault, author Andrew J. Rickert shares the true story of his experiences upon leaving high school and entering the US Marine Corps in 1954, at the age of seventeen. He describes in detail his three-year adventure with the marines, traveling from his home on a farm in Renault, Illinois, to boot camp in Paris Island, South Carolina. He also recalls his assignments during his time with the marines and offers a snapshot of his civilian life afterward. Through these recollections, Rickert hopes to demonstrate that there is a path to success after high school for those who lack the resources or interest to continue their education-and his life represents an example of that success.In this memoir, one man describes his three-year stint with the marines and how that time served as a stepping-stone for his future career in civilian life.

For many, many years, the symbol of the Easter egg and the Easter bunny have been conjoined and have served as icons of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Like the sign of the fish representing early Christian faith, the egg and a baby chicken emerging from the egg signify Jesus Christ's rising from his tomb.Through story and illustrations, this picture book for children by Roy Green, explores the possible consequences of over-commercialism, environmental impact, and the loss of family traditions surrounding Easter. Through the tale of a cast of kind and caring animal characters, it offers an alternative interpretation of how the Easter egg became the symbol of resurrection.
