King of the Castle by Gai Eaton Pdf

King of the Castle examines closely many of the unquestioned assumptions by which we live our lives, comparing them with the beliefs that have shaped and guided human life in the past. It begins with a consideration of how secular societies attempt to possess their citizens, body and soul and how, as a consequence, the necessity of redefining human responsibility becomes an ever more urgent imperative. The book continues with a presentation of the traditional view of man as 'God's Viceroy on Earth', with an eye to its practical implications in a world that has all but forgotten, under the pressure of mass social persuasion, that man must always be free to choose his own ultimate destiny. The author's thesis is a passionate yet incisive plea for the restoration of the sacred norms of religion, as against the debilitating and falsifying aims of a profane world-view based on no more than recent scientific and technological achievements.

King of the Castle by Aurora Ruá Pdf

"The power of imagination is given a refreshing treatment in Ruá's disarmingly simple story of a child's trip to the beach. While Guridi's illustrations tell us what is reality (down to sunscreen bottle!), the text takes us into the creative mind of the boy (it's magic cream, applied by a witch), turning a day at the shore into a grand adventure."--Art of the Picture Book When a creative young boy goes to the beach, he sees it as a blank canvas for imagination and adventure. What starts as a sand castle becomes much, much more...

King of the Castle by Fleur Snedden Pdf

Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction, and in the life of William Larnach, 19th century businessman and politician, this is certainly true. He is perhaps best remembered for the home he built on the Otago Peninsula, known as Larnach Castle. He also has the tragic distinction of being the only politician to commit suicide in Parliament building. His story public and personal continues to fascinate us. After years of research, author Fleur Snedden uncovered an extraordinary man (who also happened to be her great-great-grandfather) with an intriguing story. The result is an engrossing biography of an early New Zealander whose life covers a dynamic period of our history.

The Castle by John Goodall Pdf

A vibrant history of the castle in Britain, from the early Middle Ages to the present day The castle has long had a pivotal place in British life, associated with lordship, landholding, and military might, and today it remains a powerful symbol of history. But castles have never been merely impressive fortresses—they were hubs of life, activity, and imagination. John Goodall weaves together the history of the British castle across the span of a millennium, from the eleventh to the twenty-first century, through the voices of those who witnessed it. Drawing on chronicles, poems, letters, and novels, including the work of figures like Gawain Poet, Walter Scott, Evelyn Waugh, and P. G. Wodehouse, Goodall explores the importance of the castle in our culture and society. From the medieval period to Civil War engagements, right up to modern manifestations in Harry Potter, Goodall reveals that the castle has always been put to different uses, and to this day continues to serve as a source of inspiration.
