  Josh Kirby - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ronald William "Josh" Kirby (27 November 1928–23 October 2001), was a British commercial artist born in Waterloo, Sefton, Lancashire and educated at the Liverpool City School of Art, where he acquired the nickname Josh.
Creating a total of over 400 cover paintings, his personal preference was for science fiction jackets (for example see Robert Silverberg's Majipoor novels and Kirby's own Voyage of the Ayeguy) and his work on the covers of Terry Pratchett's Discworld series of novels is well known.
Josh Kirby's death, in his sleep at age 72, in Shelfanger near Diss in Norfolk, was unexpected but of natural causes.

 Josh Kirby -- Biographical Introduction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Josh Kirby was born a long time ago and refers to himself as `unbearably ancient'...
At birth he was christened Ronald William Kirby; the `Josh' was to come later.
Kirby's preferred medium is oil paint applied in thin layers, because this dries slowly, yet not too slowly, and can be easily retouched or overpainted -- repeatedly, if need be.

 Our History
One of the leaders of the Methodist Church in the Tantramar area was William Black, who was considered to be the father of Methodism in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
William Black made his first trip to the Upper Petitcodiac Valley in 1781, and the area was apart of the Cumberland Circuit in 1786 and continued as such until 1822.
The land for this building was deeded by William Steadman in 1821 to Ichabod Lewis and Solomon Trites so that the residents of The Bend could erect a House of Worship to be known as The Free Meeting House.

 Amazon.com: Look Away! : A History of the Confederate States of America: Books: William C. Davis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The cover of the book advertises William C. Davis' work as A History of the Confederate States of America, which is exactly what this book is. In other words, this book is not a history of the Civil War with a few stray bits regarding Confederate politics thrown in.
Instead of writing about the war, Davis clearly set out to examine the political roots of the CSA from its inception to its death as well as the social impact of the war on the homefront.
Respected historian William Davis presents an accurate work on Southern politics, motivations, and an excellent view of the REAL climate of the time and the functions of the Confederate government, NOT the PC pablum regurgitated by the school systems.

 Black Issues in Higher Education: Harvard's new chapter in black studies: a neglected African studies program finally ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
On leave that fateful 2001-2002 year, Akyeampong believes the West controversy created the perception that Harvard was a hostile place for Black studies, and he says it played a role in the decisions of two prospective graduate students in African history not to enroll at Harvard last year.
In the fall of 2002, Akyeampong submitted a five-year plan to Dr. William Kirby, the newly appointed dean of the faculty of Arts and Sciences, which proposed an expansion of African studies and programs.
Kirby, an expert in Chinese history and culture, suggested that Akyeampong and Gates get together and discuss their shared visions for African studies, according to Akyeampong.
