Many Peoples, Many Faiths: Women and Men in the World
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ellwood, Robert S. / McGraw, Barbara A., PUBLISHER: Prentice Hall, This classic work presents the religions of the world in a way that captures the total human experience in both a factual and empathetic manner. Contains chapters on understanding the world's religious heritage; the cosmic religions of prehistoric and tribal peoples; the spiritual paths of India; Buddhism and other religions of East Asia; Monotheistic religions; Judaism; the growth of Christianity; the Islamic faith, and more, and concludes with a chapter that considers religion today and in the future. Describes the experience of each faith's practitioners in the United States and summarizes the affect of that faith on larger American culture. Offers fresh insights and information on today's new religious movements (such as China's Falun Gong)--discussing the social conditions that tend to give rise to such movements, their sociological nature, and what they say about the societies in which they appear--and includes current information on women's role in religion, and the impact of religion on such human crises as ecology and population. Comes with handy outlines for writing a research paper on world religions and visiting religious sites. For general readers interested in an introspective and enlightening overview of world religions today.
Nature of America
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Fortney, Bill / Kuralt, Charles / Middleton, David, PUBLISHER: Amphoto Books, Awe-inspiring landscapes and wildlife fill this treasure trove of North America's natural wonders. This dazzling book captures for the first time in a single volume the astonishing range of ecological diversity stretching across the United States, Canada, and northern Mexico. Recorded on film by 32 of today's greatest nature photographers -- including Frans Lanting, Galen Rowell, David Muench, John Shaw, and Art Wolfe -- America's rich natural heritage includes many of the world's most glorious wilderness regions and refuges. Seen from compelling new perspectives, these areas encompass the famous national parks and lesser-known but equally magical places. Accompanying all the magnificent photographs, which have not been enhanced or manipulated in any way, are brief natural history notes, highlighting what is unique about the scene depicted. Most notable about this book are its images of great open spaces, soaring mountains, rivers, tundra, and seacoasts: poetic and elucidating commentary written from a naturalist's point of view; 220 stunning, full-color photographs: a calendar providing the best dates for visiting and photographing various regions; and the insightful foreword by Charles Kuralt.

Billy the Kid: A Short and Violent Life
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Utley, Robert M., PUBLISHER: University of Nebraska Press, Whatever his name or alias at the moment--Henry McCarty, Henry Antrim, Kid Antrim, Billy Bonney--people always called him the Kid. Not until his final month did anyone call him Billy the Kid. Newspapers pictured him as a king of outlaws; and his highly publicized capture, trial, escape, and end fixed his image in the public mind for all time. He was only twenty-one years old when a bullet from Sheriff Pat Garett's six-shooter killed him on July . Within a year Billy the Kid became the subject of five dime-novel "biographies" as well as Garett's ghost-written account, and that was just the beginning. Robert M. Utley does what countless books, movies, television shows, musical compositions, and paintings have failed to do: he successfully strips off the veneer of legendry to expose the reality of Billy the Kid. Using previously untapped sources, he presents an engrossing story--the most complete and accurate ever--of a youthful hoodlum and sometime killer who found his calling in New Mexico's bloody power struggle known as the Lincoln County War. In unmasking the legend Utley also tells us much about our heritage of frontier vigilantism and violence.

Surpassing Wonder: The Invention of the Bible and the
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Akenson, Donald Harman, PUBLISHER: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH), With wit, elegance, and clarity, Surpassing Wonder illuminates the ancient Hebrew scriptures, the Christian "New Testament", and the Talmuds of the Rabbis by showing who wrote them, under what circumstances, and why they were given the shape they have. These works constitute the very core of our cultural consciousness and in every century have been hidden from us -- first by priests, then by fundamentalists, and now by narrow scholars. Here, with biting irreverence for prejudice and pretension, Donald Akenson renews our sense of awe before these sacred works by encountering them head-on, by setting them in their historical and political context -- and by daring to speculate that there was one author-editor of the Hebrew scriptures, and one for the Christian New Testament, and that the inventor of the Hebrew scriptures should be credited with constructing the very foundations of Western culture. He simultaneously restores their spiritual power through a just appreciation of the authors' achievement and provides a brilliant expose of how theologians and biblical scholars abuse historical reasoning and evidence in their treatment of the sacred texts. Using images that range from Winnie-the-Pooh to tractor mechanics, this world-renowned historian creates for us a radical reformation of the sacred texts as he breathes new life into our religions and helps us understand, and revere, the heritage that flows from Jerusalem.
Food from Many Greek Kitchens
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kiros, Tessa, PUBLISHER: Andrews McMeel Publishing, Food, culture, celebration, and memory are inexorably tied together inside Tessa Kiros's "Kouzina." As the follow-up to her best-selling "Venezia" and "Falling Cloudberries," "Kouzina" explores Kiros's Greek-Cypriot heritage and takes readers on a colorful journey into the Greek kitchens of her friends and family as she catalogs the traditional foods for fasting, festivals, and feast days. Recipes like Vassilopitta New Year Wish Cake, Lamb in a Flowerpot with Dill and Red Wine, Yamopilafo Wedding Rice, and Easter Soup are accompanied by short introductions that explain each dish's cultural significance. In addition, lavish full-color photographs take readers on a tour from the local Mediterranean fishmongers and markets into Greek family homes and kitchens to experience the best in authentic Greek cooking. With a glossary and more than 200 classically prepared Greek recipes, "Kouzina" adds a greater depth of flavor to each dish through Kiros's warm anecdotal introductions like the following passage for Vassilopitta: "In Greece, everyone has a vassilopitta (cake) at New Year. The wonderful thing about this cake is that a flouri (coin) is added before baking. If you're lucky to get the piece with the coin, you'll be blessed for the year. Don't you love that sense of celebration the Greeks have?" --"Kouzina: Food from Many Greek Kitchens"

Self-Propelled Cars of the Cnr
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Clegg, Anthony, PUBLISHER: DC Books, In the 19th century, steam-hauled trains had a virtual monopoly on transportation of passengers. After the Great War, competition from highway vehicles, which had previously not troubled North American railroads to any considerable extent, began to provoke renewed interest in a more economical form of railway motive power, and a number of "rail buses" of varying designs were introduced. Tony Clegg, who wrote Canadian National Steam Power with Ray Corley, is the author of this book. Self-Propelled Cars of the CNR details how, in November , CNR's new diesel-electric car No. completed its record-breaking run across the North American continent, from Montreal to Vancouver. The train established a new world's record for endurance, economy, and sustained speed over such a distance. The book explains how this comparatively small self-propelled vehicle led to their wide-spread usage across the Canadian National system, and its rival, the Canadian Pacific Railway. The book describes how, despite the growing popularity of automobiles, and increasing availability of better roads, these new rail cars were successful in stemming the decline in rail passenger patronage, particularly on low-traffic branch lines. There were many types of these specialized vehicles that are fully described in the book, which contains interesting details on a very important part of Canada's railway heritage, with over 100 photographs and illustrations, including many extremely rare photos in full colour.
Classics and Comics
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kovacs, George / Marshall, C. W., PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, Since at least , when daily-strip caveman Alley Oop time-traveled to the Trojan War, comics have been drawing (on) material from Greek and Roman myth, literature and history. At times the connection is cosmetic-as perhaps with Wonder Woman's Amazonian heritage-and at times it is almost irrelevant-as with Hercules' starfaring adventures in the Marvel miniseries. But all of these make implicit or explicit claims about the place of classics in modern literary culture. Classics and Comics is the first book to explore the engagement of classics with the epitome of modern popular literature, the comic book. The volume collects sixteen articles, all specially commissioned for this volume, that look at how classical content is deployed in comics and reconfigured for a modern audience. It opens with a detailed historical introduction surveying the role of classical material in comics since the s. Subsequent chapters cover a broad range of topics, including the incorporation of modern theories of myth into the creation and interpretation of comic books, the appropriation of characters from classical literature and myth, and the reconfiguration of motif into a modern literary medium. Among the well-known comics considered in the collection are Frank Miller's 300 and Sin City, DC Comics' Wonder Woman, Jack Kirby's The Eternals, Neil Gaiman's Sandman, and examples of Japanese manga. The volume also includes an original 12-page "comics-essay," drawn and written by Eisner Award-winning Eric Shanower, creator of the graphic novel series Age of Bronze. Acquista Ora

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Adamson, Lynda G., PUBLISHER: Greenwood Press, This unique resource provides readers with a systematic guide to the central themes in 150 of the most commonly taught American novels. Each of the 50 well written essays identifies and discusses an important theme, such as Alienation, Corruption of Power, and Immigrant Life that recurs in American literature. The pertinence of these themes is examined in a wide range of novels that reflect this country's cultural diversity and that span the many time periods in America's literary heritage. These novels include the canonical and the contemporary, yet they are all works that are accessible and important to students, and were selected in consultation with educators and experts' published curriculum surveys. The organization of this guide allows users to compare and contrast thematically related novels and also provides help in the selection of titles for classroom discussion and assignments. This thematic guide is organized into 50 narrative essays. Each essay, written expressively with the student in mind, provides in-depth analyses of three American novels. The entries include selected lists of further suggested readings; additional fiction works that relate to the theme explored. Two helpful appendices make this resource even more valuable for the literature collection. One appendix provides additional themes and topics to be explored in the 150 novels. For quick reference, a second appendix organizes the 150 discussed novels alphabetically, identifying both the central and secondary themes for discussion in each.

Palaces for Pigs: Animal Architecture and Other Beastly
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lambton, Lucinda, PUBLISHER: English Heritage, Throughout the centuries there have been castles, great and small, for animals as diverse as goats and guinea pigs, deer and dogs, cows and bees, pigs and horses, bears and even salmon. In , a Grecian temple with tapering Egyptian windows was built for pigs in Yorkshire and in the s a red sandstone elephant with a castle on its back was designed for bees in Cheshire. With such architects as William Kent designing a cowshed and Sir John Soane devising classical 'canine residences,' these buildings are not mere curiosities; John Nash applied himself at his most picturesque to a dovecote, while Capability Brown was commissioned to create a classical menagerie and Henry Holland designed an elaborate Chinese Dairy. These buildings are the happy results of the British passion for both architecture and animals - emblems of unrestrained indulgence and often unnecessary extravagance. When designing for animals, architects and their patrons could realise their wildest flights of architectural fancy; the inhabitants could never complain, however idiosyncratic their dwelling - as George Eliot wrote in , 'Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms' - allowing the builders' imaginations to flourish unbridled, often with scant observance to architectural convention. Architecture for animals has been and still continues to be a tremendous British tradition. Palaces for Pigs and Other Beastly Dwellings - fully illustrated with striking detail - celebrates this tradition, telling the fascinating stories behind the buildings that housed animals and the monuments that commemorated them.

RADIAL Tonebone TriMode
Vendo ottimo pedale per chitarra elettrica RADIAL Tonebone TriMode, usato con segni di utilizzo, ma perfettamente funzionante. Con alimentatore non originale compreso. Valvola cambiata da poco The Tonebone Classic Trimode is our most progressive pedal ever! Trimode gives you instant access to superb clean, rhythm and lead tones without tap dancing. And tone you will receive. Based on the heritage of America's finest tube amplifiers, the Trimode delivers five generations of tone from the slight overdrive of early rock & roll to blistering power tones of today's high gain amps. Following the award-winning Tonebone Classic, the Trimode combines the warmth and even harmonics of a 12AX7 tube with our unique dual-stage drive for the natural dynamics and response of a vintage tube amp. As the name implies, Trimode has three settings: 'True Bypass Clean Mode' for the natural tone of your guitar - direct to your amp; 'Rhythm Mode' with input drive, output gain and our unique Interstage(TM) drive to precision-tune the mayhem you are about to unleash; and 'Solo Mode' with its own input drive, output gain, and mid boost for days of sustain. Trimode goes even further with a built-in effects loop on the solo channel that lets you instantly engage a delay or pedal chain with a single foot action. Trimode: 3 modes, huge tone and amazing dynamics - finally, a pedal that sounds and feels like a real tube amp!
