Dreams of Bread and Fire

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kricorian, Nancy / Dricorian, Nancy, PUBLISHER: Grove Press, Kricorian's second novel is a beautifully etched tale of romance, idealism, and the quest for self-identity by a writer praised for her "admirable economy and grace" (The Baltimore Sun). Poetic and assured, it is the story of a young American woman whose half-Jewish, half-American heritage seems a mere footnote to her own identity until the dark shadows of history propel her into a quest for her long dead father, and a search for the clues of a nearly forgotten genocide. While studying in Paris, Ani Silver receives a letter from her New England boyfriend ending their relationship. Thus begins a series of romantic misadventures, culminating in her reconnection with a childhood friend. Their shared preoccupation with their Armenian heritage provides Ani with a new facet to her own identity--even as she begins to suspect that her friend has a secret--and dangerous--identity. Funny and heartbreaking to its bold and exquisite conclusion. Dreams of Bread and Fire is an irresistible novel of passion, ideals, and the temptations of trying to outrun our origins.

Aging Is Living: Myth-Breaking Stories from Long-Term Care

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Borins Ash, Irene / Ash, Irv, PUBLISHER: Dundurn Group, Through the inspirational, wise, and informative stories of the residents, either in their own words or based on interviews, and environmental photographs of each, this book focuses on various residents of long-term care facilities and especially on the positive facets of their life, their thoughts, and their feelings. The only issue that reaches the media about nursing homes is the negative and unfortunate events that sometimes occur, but there is so much more to the story. Most people are afraid of long-term care homes because they recognize that it is the last phase in their life - it is the step before death. But some people have years from the time they enter the home until they die. This book shows how many men and women make the best of their situation - often leaving a positive legacy for family and friends - and how these can be fulfilling and quality years.

The Refiner's Fire: The Making of Mormon Cosmology,

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Brooke, John L., PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, Mormon religious belief has long been a mystery to outsiders, either dismissed as anomalous to the American religious tradition or extolled as the most genuine creation of the American imagination. The Refiner's Fire presents a new and comprehensive understanding of the roots of Mormon religion, whose theology promises the faithful that they will become "gods" through the restoration of ancient mysteries and regain the divine powers of Adam lost in the fall from Paradise. Professor Brooke contends that the origins of Mormonism lie in the fusion of radical religion with occult ideas, and organizes his book around the two problems of demonstrating the survival of these ideas into the nineteenth century and explaining how they were manifested in Mormon doctrine. In the concluding chapter, the author provides an outline of how Mormonism since the s gradually moved toward traditional Protestant Christianity. As well as religion, the book explores magic, witchcraft, alchemy, Freemasonry, counterfeiting, and state-formation. John L. Brooke is professor of history at Tufts University and the acclaimed author of The Heart of the Commonwealth: Society and Political Culture in Worcester County, Massachusetts, (CUP, ), which has won, among other prizes, the Organization of American Historians' Merle Curti Award for Intellectual History and the National Historical Society Book Prize for American History.

H.G. Bronn, Ernst Haeckel, and the Origins of German

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gliboff, Sander, PUBLISHER: MIT Press (MA), The German translation of Darwin's "The Origin of Species" appeared in , just months after the original, thanks to Heinrich Georg Bronn, a distinguished German paleontologist whose work in some ways paralleled Darwin's. Bronn's version of the book (with his own notes and commentary appended) did much to determine how Darwin's theory was understood and applied by German biologists, for the translation process involved more than the mere substitution of German words for English. In this book, Sander Gliboff tells the story of how "The Origin of Species" came to be translated into German, how it served Bronn's purposes as well as Darwin's, and how it challenged German scholars to think in new ways about morphology, systematics, paleontology, and other biological disciplines. Gliboff traces Bronn's influence on German Darwinism through the early career of Ernst Haeckel, Darwin's most famous nineteenth-century proponent and popularizer in Germany, who learned his Darwinism from the Bronn translation. Gliboff argues, contrary to most interpretations, that the German authors were not attempting to "tame" Darwin or assimilate him to outmoded systems of romantic "Naturphilosophie." Rather, Bronn and Haeckel were participants in Darwin's project of revolutionizing biology. We should not, Gliboff cautions, read pre-Darwinian meanings into Bronn's and Haeckel's Darwinian words. Gliboff describes interpretive problems faced by Bronn and Haeckel that range from the verbal (how to express Darwin's ideas in the existing German technical vocabulary) to the conceptual. One of these conceptual problems, the origins of novel variation and the proper balance between creativity and constraint in evolution, emerges as crucial. Specialists in evolutionary biology today, Gliboff points out, continue to grapple with comparable questions--continuing a larger process of translation and interpretation of Darwin's work.

A Story to Live by

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Galloway, Kathy, PUBLISHER: United Church Press, When she was young, Kathy Galloway found that a poem by Walt Whitman gave her a sense of truth. As she grew and reflected on the poem, she discovered three "convictions": that the beingness of the world is good, that its intrinsic worth is in its relatedness, and that nothing is more miraculous than the ordinary. These three convictions are part of the story she lives by. In this book, Galloway uses her experiences to help us contemplate three basic questions: What is my story? What has helped shape my story? and How does my story relate to the stories of others? Drawing on her knowledge of Celtic spirituality and her deep sense of social justice, she addresses such themes as the search for roots, the role of work, and the need for values.
