A Few Acres of Snow: Documents in Pre-Confederation Canadian

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Thorner, Thomas, PUBLISHER: Utp Higher Education, For a generation or more there have been few books that brought together in accessible form the raw materials of Canadian history. In many minds the impression has taken root that those materials are uninteresting. This collection demonstrates the contrary and that these raw materials provide extraordinarily engaging and informative insights into the richness of Canadian history. This new edition of the first volume of Broadview's two-volume anthology of documents in Canadian history, A Few Acres of Snow, presents many new documentary sources on pre-Confederation Canadian history, combined with the most compelling passages from the first edition. Each chapter offers a group of source materials on particular themes or events, beginning with reports of First Nation contacts published in the Jesuit Relations and ending with the drive to Confederation. Documents bring vividly before the reader the experience of the Acadian Expulsion, the Siege of Quebec, Irish immigration during the famine years, life in the Ontario backwoods in the early nineteenth century, and the British Columbia gold rush. Included are document groupings that focus on the history of Canada's various regions; on social, cultural, political and intellectual history; on the experiences of women, of Native peoples, of immigrants and labour. Thomas Thorner is a member of the Department of History at Kwantlen University College: this is his fourth book. Thor Frohn-Nielsen, who assisted on this project, also works in the History Department at Kwantlen. Special Combination Price: Please note that a special discount price is available when this book is ordered shrinkwrapped together with A Country Nourished onSelf-Doubt: Documents in Post-Confederation Canadian History.

Latin Language and Latin Culture: From Ancient to Modern

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Farrell, Joseph / Feeney, D. C. / Hinds, Stephen, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, The Latin language is popularly imagined in a number of specific ways: as a masculine language, an imperial language, a classical language, a dead language. This book considers the sources of these metaphors and analyzes their effect on how Latin literature is read. By reading with and more commonly against these metaphors, the book offers a different view of Latin as a language and as a vehicle for cultural practice. The argument ranges over a variety of texts in Latin and texts about Latin from antiquity to the twentieth century.

Sacred Realm: The Emergence of the Synagogue in the Ancient

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Fine, Steven, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, The rich tradition and profound spirituality of Judaism has touched people the world over for thousands of years. With the arrival in the Near East of Alexander the Great and the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE, the synagogue came to represent a new era of this powerful religion, one which witnessed a greater emphasis on shared religious experience and prayer. In turn, the synagogue, derived from the Greek, meaning an "assembly," has come to mean the Jewish house of worship, evolving into a "sacred realm," in which the Torah came to play a central role linking the biblical past with the messianic future. Of course, the synagogue has been much more that a house of worship--it served the Jewish people as a place of learning, a community center, and often as the official seat of Jewish self-government. Indeed, it is the institution most closely associated with the development of post-biblical Judaism throughout the ages. Sacred Realm: The Emergence of the Synagogue in the Ancient World offers the first comprehensive history of the architectural and archaeological development of the synagogue from the third century BCE to 700 CE. Telling the story of over one hundred ancient synagogues throughout the world and their place in the history of Judaism and of Western civilization, this book provides a fascinating representation of the cultural, intellectual, and artistic achievements of three thousand years of Jewish experience. Informative essays detail every aspect of the ancient synagogue, while beautiful illustrations and maps take the reader to the actual historic site. Sacred Realm is an accompaniment to a monumental exhibition organized by the Yeshiva University Museum in New York. Borrowing from museums in North America, Europe, and Israel, the exhibition presents a unique collection of artifacts and manuscripts--including many pieces never before displayed in the United States--and will depict for the first time an in-depth history of the synagogue during the Greco-Roman period. From fourth-century Egyptian incense burners and inscribed bowl fragments to fifth-century Gaza mosaics decorated with Menorah and Shofar, Piyyut (liturgical poetry) manuscripts, and assorted textile, column, and pottery fragments, this collection is the most significant presentation of ancient Jewish religious life ever assembled in the United States. Lavishly illustrated with both color and black and white photographs of the artifacts, manuscripts, maps, site diagrams, and reconstructions, Sacred Realm is not only a detailed record of this historic exhibit, but a guide to the evolution of Judaism's most sacred institution.

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.

The 36 Strategies of the Chinese for financial traders

Ti consiglio di guardare il mio video: https://youtu.be/yid45C_e0bg Copertina rigida con sovracopertina, formato cm. 23,5 x 16 pagine 515. Queste immagini sono del libro che riceverete. Ancient Chinese strategies provide a valuable link to enhance your ability to survive and prosper in modern financial markets. In this fascinating book, experienced trader and best-selling author Daryl Guppy explains how The 36 Strategies of the Chinese are applied to trading financial markets. In trading there is rarely a single answer to any trading situation. The best answer, and its effective application, depends on the trader. The strategies by themselves do not guarantee success. The trader’s skill in analyzing and assessing the situation determines how effective he is in selecting and applying the right strategy. Guppy was introduced to the book of The 36 Strategies of the Chinese by a Chinese friend. An ancient and classic text, it is a compilation of political and military strategies dating back more than years, drawn from classic Chinese poetry, history, philosophy, biographies and novels. This book includes specific methods for active investors and traders that are consistent with the meaning of the original ancient strategies. The 36 Strategies of the Ch inese for Financial Traders follows the structure of the original 36 strategies. The first 18 strategies are applied when you have the advantage — the luxury of time and resources to examine techniques to recognize and maximize the return from these market opportunities. The second 18 strategies are applied when you are at a disadvantage — they are strategies used against investors and traders to inhibit success. Many of the strategies are enhanced using derivatives. ‘The 36 Strategies of the Chinese are strategies for success in financial markets and 1 encourage you to use these observations to improve your trading activity' — Daryl Guppy
