The Athenaeum by Michael Wheeler Pdf
A compelling history of the famous London club and its members’ impact on Britain’s scientific, creative, and official life When it was founded in 1824, the Athenæum broke the mold. Unlike in other preeminent clubs, its members were chosen on the basis of their achievements rather than on their background or political affiliation. Public rather than private life dominated the agenda. The club, with its tradition of hospitality to conflicting views, has attracted leading scientists, writers, artists, and intellectuals throughout its history, including Charles Darwin and Matthew Arnold, Edward Burne-Jones and Yehudi Menuhin, Winston Churchill and Gore Vidal. This book is not presented in the traditional, insular style of club histories, but devotes attention to the influence of Athenians on the scientific, creative, and official life of the nation. From the unwitting recruitment of a Cold War spy to the welcome admittance of women, this lively and original account explores the corridors and characters of the club; its wider political, intellectual, and cultural influence; and its recent reinvention.

Indian Horse by Richard Wagamese Pdf
"An unforgettable work of art."—The National Post Saul Indian Horse is dying. Tucked away in a hospice high above the clash and clang of a big city, he embarks on a marvellous journey of imagination back through the life he led as a northern Ojibway, with all its sorrows and joys. With compassion and insight, author Richard Wagamese traces through his fictional characters the decline of a culture and a cultural way. For Saul, taken forcibly from the land and his family when he's sent to residential school, salvation comes for a while through his incredible gifts as a hockey player. But in the harsh realities of 1960s Canada, he battles obdurate racism and the spirit-destroying effects of cultural alienation and displacement. Indian Horse unfolds against the bleak loveliness of northern Ontario, all rock, marsh, bog and cedar. Wagamese writes with a spare beauty, penetrating the heart of a remarkable Ojibway man. Drawing on his great-grandfather's mystical gift of vision, Saul Indian Horse comes to recognize the influence of everyday magic on his own life. In this wise and moving novel, Richard Wagamese shares that gift of magic with readers as well.

Cords Of Grace by Molly Henning Pdf
John Zeisel, Ph.D., Hon D.Sc. Author: Im Still Here: A New Philosophy of Alzheimers Care A global support missing for many people living with dementia is integration into their life-long religious communities. Meanwhile, among powerful emotional connections alive in the brains of persons with dementia are those linked to their spiritual, often religious, life. This holds for the music, arts, prayers, chants, and rituals of all faiths Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism and Hinduism among them. Religious rituals are learned and remembered through the brains procedural learning system a brain capacity that is healthy long into the condition of dementia. Molly Henning in her detailed and carefully structured Cords of Grace: A faith-based support group guide for those with memory loss and their care partners applies significant lessons of secular dementia theorists such as Tom Kitwood, Peter Whitehouse, Naomi Feil, and my own Im Still Here approach to create a support group curriculum for Christ-centered denominations Anglican, Methodists, Roman Catholics, Presbyterians among them. Her title drawn from scripture: I led them with cords of human kindness, with ties of love refers to universal spiritual characteristics of empathy and compassion a profound message of all religions. Henning goes beyond structuring a particular religious basis for dementia support, in all persons, regardless of religious faith. Henning points out that these activities raise the levels of neurotransmitters in the brain that make us all feel good chemicals of well-being [that] persist in the brain whether we remember why or not enduring physical benefit to these activities that enhances quality of life. The structure of this intriguing book serves as a model for other religious groups monthly themes and exercises to engage persons with dementia through spiritual texts, songs, prayers, poems, paintings, sculpture, meditations, and illustrative photographs all powerful magnets for still strong emotional procedural memories. The Rev. Jack Gabig, Ph.D., Assoc. Professor of Practical Theology, Trinity School for Ministry, Ambridge, PA This is a tool that is biblical, practical and very pastoral, to help care for those whose needs often go unnoticed or misunderstood. It will be useful not only to those under our pastoral charge but also may help the church reach out to those who need support and may not know where to look.

Photography, Natural History and the Nineteenth-Century Museum by Kathleen Davidson Pdf
The Victorian era heralded an age of transformation in which momentous changes in the field of natural history coincided with the rise of new visual technologies. Concurrently, different parts of the British Empire began to more actively claim their right to being acknowledged as indispensable contributors to knowledge and the progress of empire. This book addresses the complex relationship between natural history and photography from the 1850s to the 1880s in Britain and its colonies: Australia, New Zealand and, to a lesser extent, India. Coinciding with the rise of the modern museum, photography’s arrival was timely, and it rapidly became an essential technology for recording and publicising rare objects and valuable collections. Also during this period, the medium assumed a more significant role in the professional practices and reputations of naturalists than has been previously recognized, and it figured increasingly within the expanding specialized networks that were central to the production and dissemination of new knowledge. In an interrogation that ranges from the first forays into museum photography and early attempts to document collecting expeditions to the importance of traditional and photographic portraiture for the recognition of scientific discoveries, this book not only recasts the parameters of what we actually identify as natural history photography in the Victorian era but also how we understand the very structure of empire in relation to this genre at that time.

The Root by Na'amen Gobert Tilahun Pdf
A dark, gritty urban fantasy debut set in modern-day San Francisco, filled with gods, sinister government agencies, and worlds of dark magic hidden just below the surface. When a secret government agency trying to enslave you isn’t the biggest problem you’re facing, you’re in trouble. Erik, a former teen star living in San Francisco, thought his life was complicated; having his ex-boyfriend in jail because of the scandal that destroyed his career seemed overwhelming. Then Erik learned he was Blooded: descended from the Gods. Struggling with a power he doesn’t understand and can barely control, Erik discovers that a secret government agency is selling off Blooded like lab rats to a rival branch of preternatural beings in ’Zebub—San Francisco’s mirror city in an alternate dimension. Lil, a timid apprentice in ’Zebub, is searching for answers to her parents’ sudden and mysterious deaths. Surrounded by those who wish her harm and view her as a lesser being, Lil delves into a forgotten history that those in power will go to dangerous lengths to keep buried. What neither Erik nor Lil realize is that a darkness is coming, something none have faced in living memory. It eats. It hunts. And it knows them. In The Root, the dark and surging urban fantasy debut from Na’amen Tilahun, two worlds must come together if even a remnant of one is to survive. Skyhorse Publishing, under our Night Shade and Talos imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of titles for readers interested in science fiction (space opera, time travel, hard SF, alien invasion, near-future dystopia), fantasy (grimdark, sword and sorcery, contemporary urban fantasy, steampunk, alternative history), and horror (zombies, vampires, and the occult and supernatural), and much more.
