Two hundred fifty years ago, on the eve of the American Revolution, William Bartram, the young naturalist, illustrator, and observer of indigenous customs traveled the Southern backcountry in search of species new to science. His journey was a rich and rhapsodic description of nature and of landscapes largely undisturbed by colonial settlers, though on the eve of great change and upheaval. WILLIAM BARTRAM AND THE NATURE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN is a look back at the nature described by Bartram, as well as the vast changes and seemingly irreversible damage inflicted upon the American landscape since that time.

Nearly two hours past midnight on the moonless night of December 14, 1990, a single-engine Cessna airplane landed at the rural Ware County airport near Waycross, Georgia, then proceeded to taxi and park at an isolated and remote end of one runway. A guard at a nearby prison who had observed the landing alerted local sheriff's deputies, who arrived just in time to block the plane from taking off. The officers observed a large box inside the plane's cabin and, suspecting illegal drugs, obtained a search warrant. To the shock of the deputies, the box contained the body of a young white female.

This biography traces Rev. Julius Caesar Herrin's life from a mill town in North Carolina to the national scene. His life is a microcosm of struggles within the American church to create the Beloved Community. Herrin's work was possible because his liberal theology and support for interracial meetings resulted in his firing in 1954 by North Carolina Baptists, for whom he worked with the Baptist Student Union at UNC Chapel Hill. That firing forced him to move north, where he ministered in an American Baptist church. The Field Foundation, the American Baptist Home Mission Societies, and other American Baptist organizations in 1958 provided funds for Herrin's return south and his entry into the Civil Rights Movement.

Through the open-door hospitality of Maranatha Baptist Church, the Plains congregation where Jimmy Carter maintained a membership for his entire post-presidential life, "Jimmy Carter's Sunday School Class" welcomed crowds of curious folks from a vast variety of faiths, lifestyles, and cultural backgrounds on the search for a once-in-a-lifetime experience to witness a national treasure share his relevant insights from time-tested Scriptures. Always thoughtful, never pretentious, fifteen of Carter's lessons illustrate how Scripture-inspired love can reach the world beginning right at home. Four of the selected lessons were taught at The First Baptist Church of the City of Washington, D.C., during President Carter's four years in the Oval Office.
