Indiana Supreme Court Set To Reprint Carmony Manuscript, 5th Book In Legal History Series

The Indiana Constitutional Convention of 1850-1851 examines the events leading to the adoption of Indiana’s second state constitution in 1851. By the mid-nineteenth century, the Hoosier state had experienced significant growth. A rapidly growing populace, mounting financial troubles, a cumbersome governmental structure, and the increasingly contentious issue regarding the treatment of freemen, were all major factors contributing to the need for a new state constitution and for a convention to craft the new document.

Author and noted Indiana historian Donald F. Carmony (1910-2005) described and interpreted the events leading to the adoption of Indiana’s second state constitution in a manuscript originally written in 1931 as his master’s thesis. Together with numerous primary source materials, Carmony’s work was a valuable contribution at its creation and is an equally valuable source to today’s student of Indiana history.

This edition, released by the Indiana Supreme Court’s “Courts in the Classroom” project updates Carmony’s work for the modern student of Indiana history, includes a new preface written by the author, a new index, and an updated bibliography.

Blog Turns Book: A Family's Unique Reflection During War

Trading wingtips for combat boots and managing four children under the age of six, Tim and Tiffany Stoner transform their difficulty into an experience of graciousness, growth and gratitude. "The dialogue drew in our families and supporters and touched so many people's lives," says Major Stoner, who was awarded the Bronze Star during his deployment. "It became our compass and the foundation for what created this book."

Not only does FamilyPrint depict this candid wartime experience with words, but also via the breathtaking photography of Nathan Rowe, who beautifully captures the agony of separation and the utter joy of coming home.

Indiana's Governor, Mitch Daniels says, "When a National Guardsman deploys there are truly two people at war: the soldier who goes to fight the enemy and the spouse who stays behind to face, in many ways, an equally difficult task. Tim and Tiffany Stoner's new book is a useful reminder of the debt we owe to both members of any National Guard Family."

Author Tim Stoner has returned to his position as the director of the infrastructure and security practice at a consulting company. He remains an active soldier in the Army National Guard.

Author Tiffany Stoner is Chief Home Officer of the StonerSix. In addition, she works part-time for Accenture and owns her own photography company, Nathaniel Edmunds Photography.

FamilyPrint is a nonprofit organization assisting the families of veterans deployed overseas. Striving to support both the soldier in harm's way as well as the family here at home, FamilyPrint offers programs that assist with the outbound and inbound transition of the soldier, childcare support during deployment, financial assistance for families in need and care items for deployed soldiers.

The 224-page, full-color coffee table book is available at www.familyprint.org.

Indiana Black Expo Completes First In A Series Of Books

Indiana Black Expo’s (IBE) staff led by Tanya Bell, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Colleen Heeter, Vice President of Development and Advancement, teamed with illustrator Rockland Page and IBJ Book Publishing to publish Avoid Course Remorse, IBE’s new Read, Think & Speak initiative that was created to educate, encourage and empower high school students and parents.

There are too many familiar stories of students not graduating from high school with enough credits to earn a diploma, taking the wrong classes without realizing it until it’s too late, or simply not taking high school seriously for various reasons. And in Avoid Course Remorse, characters Jamal, Nikki and Phoebe encourage students and parents to not only “read” and “think” through problems, homework and assignments, but to also “think” about their lives and to make good choices.

Avoid Course Remorse is a 16-page, full-color, self-cover book printed on 80-lb satin/matte white text paper.
