The Sage's Legacy Boxset by Alexa Whitewolf Pdf

Long ago, there was a prophecy... Then the gods of Ancient Egypt withdrew to shadows and were forgotten. In modern-day Scotland, Freya Hayes tries to live up to the expectation of her Sage heritage. The Earth is no longer as it was - rather, ghosts populate it far and wide. Though benevolent for the most part, evil stirs their rank and causes trouble. Freya's duty? To protect the Earth, using her enhanced strength and spiritual abilities to fight back. From Scotland to Spain, Slovakia and the remote deserts of Egypt, Freya's journey will be one of personal growth - and never ending surprises. She'll be joined by a Wiseman, Brennan, who's not all he seems. Together, these two partners shoulder the weight of the world in the way only teenagers can - with grit, snark and a load of attitude. From evil Vikings, to ancient Conquistadors, to a certain Blood Countess, the dangers awaiting them beckon from the shadows. By far, their most perilous journey won't be fighting the unseen - but the gods themselves. Grab your copy of this urban fantasy saga for young adults that critics are calling "a new take on the paranormal" and "filled with attitude and a sharp tongue." Boxset contains books 1-3.

Learning from the Sages by RoyCheck B. Zuck Pdf

Superior studies on salient themes and texts of Proverbs now join similar anthologies on Job and Ecclesiastes that have been compiled by Roy B. Zuck. 'Learning from the Sages' assembles thirty-two essays by twenty-seven scholars, covering genre, themes, and expositions of selected passages. Some include technical details of Hebrew, but in-depth linguistic knowledge is not necessary. Part 1 looks at the structure, context, and message of Proverbs, and offers suggestions on understanding its content, terms used, and metaphors for wisdom, wealth, and poverty. Essays on individual texts are arranged in canonical order in Part 2. Commentators discuss such memorable sections as the advice to young men in Chapter 3, the seductress of Chapter 5, and the comparisons of the fool and the wise. Contributors include Kathleen Farmer, R.N. Whybray, William Mouser, Jr., Bruce Waltke, William McKane, Roland Murphy, Duane Garrett, Sid Buzzell, Allen Ross, and David Hubbard.

‘This Culture of Ours’ by Peter K. Bol Pdf

This book traces the shared culture of the Chinese elite from the seventh to the twelfth centuries. The early T'ang definition of 'This Culture of Ours' combined literary and scholarly traditions from the previous five centuries. The late Sung Neo-Confucian movement challenged that definition. The author argues that the Tang-Sung transition is best understood as a transition from a literary view of culture - in which literary accomplishment and mastery of traditional forms were regarded as essential - to the ethical orientation of Neo-Confucianism, in which the cultivation of one's innate moral ability was regarded as the goal of learning. The author shows that this transformation paralleled the collapse of the T'ang order and the restoration of a centralized empire under the Sung, underscoring the connection between elite formation and political institutions.

China’s Heritage through History by Yujie Zhu Pdf

China’s Heritage through History employs a longue durée approach to examine China’s heritage through history. From Imperial to contemporary China, it explores the role of practices and material forms of the past in shaping social transformation through knowledge production and transmission. The art of collecting, reproducing, and reinterpreting the past has been an enduring force shaping cultural identity and political legitimacy in China. Offering a unique, non-Western perspective on the history of heritage in China, Zhu considers who the key players have been in these ongoing processes of reconfigured pasts, what methods they have employed, and how these practices have shaped society at large. The book tackles these questions by delving into the transformation of practices related to heritage through examples such as the book collection at Tianyi Private Library, the reproduction of the Orchid Pavilion Preface calligraphy and its associated sites, and the dynamics of exchange within the Liulichang antique market. Zhu reveals how these practices, once reserved for elites, have become accessible to the broader public. These processes of transformation, embodied in various forms of reconfigured pasts, have given rise to modern approaches to preservation, digitisation, museums, and the burgeoning heritage tourism industry. China’s Heritage through History will be an invaluable resource for academics, students, and practitioners working in the fields of heritage, museum studies, and art history.

A Collection of Destinies by David Beltran Pdf

Destiny gives to each of us a purpose for beingthat nothing we do in our lives is meaningless, that we never meet people by chance. And Taurana-Nhane, a young boy from a tribal island culture, must face his destiny head-on in a most confusing way. For as is custom, he and his friends must go to the Kingdom of Lydia, which colonized Taus island home, to be taught about war and fighting. As Taurana embarks on his journey to adulthood, as he goes off to Lydias cruel and extensive warrior program, he will meet people who represent ideas conflicting with his own peoples reverence for fate and destiny. For the Lydians believe that man is the maker of his own destiny. And when Taurana befriends Draes, prince of Lydia, Taurana begins to adopt the Lydian attitude of a life free from the domain of destinythat is, until he goes to Lydia, where he meets a girl who will in fact bind him to that destiny, which he was just beginning to doubt. Caught now between the political frustrations of a foreign kingdom, doubted now by his own native friends who are weary of him, uncertain now of the way he should go, he must decide what to doto submit to the will of the spirits or to make his own fate. But destiny is too binding, and its two closest allies, time and love, are equally as powerful.

Transnational European Television Drama by Ib Bondebjerg,Eva Novrup Redvall,Rasmus Helles,Signe Sophus Lai,Henrik Søndergaard,Cecilie Astrupgaard Pdf

This book deals with the role of television drama in Europe as enabler of transnational, cultural encounters for audiences and the creative community. It demonstrates that the diversity of national cultures is a challenge for European TV drama but also a potential richness and source of creative variation. Based on data on the production, distribution and reception of recent TV drama from several European countries, the book presents a new picture of the transnational European television culture. The authors analyse main tendencies in television policy and challenges for national broadcasters coming from new global streaming services. Comparing cases of historical, contemporary and crime drama from several countries, this study shows the importance of creative co-production and transnational mediated cultural encounters between national cultures of Europe.

The Social World of the Sages by Mark R. Sneed Pdf

"Is there evidence for a distinct 'wisdom tradition' in ancient Israel? Mark R. Sneed redefines the wisdom literature as a loosely cohering collection of books that educated scribal apprentices in moral instruction. Sneed discusses the data for scribal culture and pedagogy in the ancient Near East, suggesting that wisdom literature was meant to complement, not to compete with, other modes of literature in the Hebrew Bible. The result is a surprising new picture of the authors and tradents of the wisdom literature"--
