In Every Home a Fortress, Thomas Bishop details the remarkable cultural history and personal stories behind an iconic figure of Cold War masculinity -- the fallout shelter father, who, with spade in hand and the canned goods he has amassed, sought to save his family from atomic warfare. Putting policy documents and presidential addresses into conversation with previously unmined personal letters, diaries, local media coverage, and antinuclear ephemera, Bishop demonstrates that the nuclear crisis years of 1957 to 1963 were not just pivotal for the history of international relations but were also a transitional moment in the social histories of the white middle class and American fatherhood. During this era, public concerns surrounding civil defense shaped private family conversations, and the fallout shelter emerged as a site at which ideas of nationhood, national security, and masculinity collided with the complex reality of trying to raise and protect a family in the nuclear age.

"This work 26 is a genealogy and history of the related families of John Van Meter, Thomas Shepherd and John Duke: settlers between 1730 and 1750 of the Northern Neck in the Valley of Virginia; conspicuous figures in the formative period, as their descendants have been in later developments, of Frederick and Berkeley Counties in what is now western Virginia."--Foreward.

This book is a series of works created to increase Healthy Living Alternative Awareness. The reason that I embarked upon uncovering the notion that “there had to be a better way” was due to some health challenges that I encountered. For many years I have mentored, coached, and encouraged those in my circle to be their absolute best. I learned the key was to discover and mend brokenness. Then my life took a dramatic turn; I was in a terrible car accident. I was told that I would not be able to resume what I love to do; teaching & helping others to achieve success. I went through two years of what I called “dating my doctors”. Yes, daily doctor visits to learn to walk, speak, think and even move again. I did not like how the Meds made me feel, I was terrified by the side effects, and I refused to believe that this was it for me. This was not my destiny, I believed that God purposed more for my life. I watched family member after family member die while being treated with prescription medications. I had to find a better way. We’ve all heard that insanity is doing the same things over and over again and expecting a different result. My poor eating habits and lack of physical exercise had to change. What I discovered is that healthier choices can taste good and be fun to prepare. It takes time retraining the taste buds, however clean eating and healthy conscious living have major benefits, including a better quality of life. So, you know that voice on the inside of you that tells you the right thing to do. Well, my little inner guide has been guiding me toward holistic practices for many years. I finally answered the call and embarked upon studying and researching clean healthy nutrition.
