Radio has just celebrated its 75th anniversary and it's as vital and varied as ever. Rhoads, a zealous radio historian and archivist, has captured radio's exuberance and fluency in this marvelous collection of more than 900 photographs, many of which have never before been published. This collection of portraits, both posed and candid, of radio personalities is a veritable radio hall of fame, showcasing everyone from Jack Benny to Howard Stern. Rhoads begins with photographs chronicling the rise of the pioneering Pittsburgh station, KDKA, the first to achieve continuous broadcasting, then keeps pace with radio's rapid growth, offering rare documentation of every type of on-air performer, from men of the cloth delivering the first on-air services to vaudevillians, conductors, sportscasters, and dramatists, many of whom went on to achieve fame in Hollywood. Styles change, but the magic continues as radio continues to evolve in conjunction with its competitor, television. On-air performers gave way to disc jockeys and talk show hosts, but talents such as Garrison Keillor and various NPR contributors have helped keep imaginative radio alive and well. - Donna Seaman--BL 03/15/1996.

If you thought that the Apostles were all men, think again. Here are twenty-four career profiles of a dozen men (the Twelve) and a dozen women who launched the Great Commission. The breathtaking scope of this book stretches from the Iberian Peninsula and the British Isles, all the way across Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East to Persia and on to India. And from the Atlantic all the way to the Bay of Bengal. From the West to the East. From the Crimean Peninsula down to Ethiopia. The book is historical – carefully researched – but reads like fiction, so it is fresh and accessible. It is imaginative but not a figment of the imagination. It does not wander into story-telling for its own sake, but keeps close to the historical record. Some readers like to look at the timeline and the map first, although these are annexures. It is written from deep admiration and the author’s contagious fire-in-the-belly. Some of the narrative may sound familiar, but then you will turn a corner into uncharted terrain. The book is full of novelties and insights that will astound even historians and Bible scholars. Fasten your seatbelts for new insights and a unique interpretation of the Apostolic Age.

Ready to follow Nick Hornsby and Helen Fielding as the next big thing from Cool Britannia to hit America is Ben Elton. Already known to a wide public television audience as the funnyman behind Blackadder, The Young Ones, and The Thin Blue Line, Elton, author of Popcorn, lights up the literary sky with Blast from the Past. Part noir thriller, part hilarious send-up of the politics of extremism, Blast from the Past is the new novel from English comedy phenomenon (stand-up, playwright, television writer, and author) Ben Elton--a name soon to be known in all circles once Joel Schumacher's film of his book Popcorn reaches the silver screen. In the early 80s, when Polly was a seventeen-year-old ideological peace protestor and Jack was a U.S. Army captain stationed at England's Greenham Common, the two had a secret and very unlikely affair. No two people could have had more to argue about, save that they couldn't live without each other, yet one day Jack came to the conclusion that he loved soldiering more than Polly and sacrificed their love to be a career army man. Now, sixteen years later, Polly is a lonely thirty-something social services employee and Jack is a four-star general who has returned to Britain to find her, his only true love. With only one night to resolve their differences, and a knife-wielding stalker lurking in the shadows, for everyone concerned this will be a night like no other.
