The Collected Songs of Cold Mountain (Paperback) $28.52 This authoritative, bilingual edition represents the first time the entirety of Cold Mountain`s poetry has been translated into English. These translations were originally published by Copper Canyon Press nearly twenty years ago. Now, significantly revised and expanded, the collection also includes a new preface by the translator, Red Pine, whose accompanying notes are at once scholarly, accessible, and entertaining. Also included for the first time are poems by two of Cold Mountain`s colleagues. Legendary for his clarity, directness, and lack of pretension, the eight-century hermit-poet Cold Mountain (Han Shan) is a major figure in the history of Chinese literature and has been a profound influence on writers and readers worldwide. Writers such as Charles Frazier and Gary Snyder studied his poetry, and Jack Kerouac`s Dharma Bums is dedicated "to Han Shan." 1.B storied cliffs were the fortune I cast bird trails beyond human tracks what surrounds my yard white clouds nesting dark rocks I`ve lived here quite a few years and always seen the spring-water change tell those people with tripods and bells empty names are no damn good 71. someone sits in a mountain gorge cloud robe sunset tassels handful of fragrances he`d share the road is long and hard regretful and doubtful old and unaccomplished the crowd calls him crippled he stands alone steadfast 205. my place is on Cold Mountain perched on a cliff beyond the circuit of afflictionimages leave no trace when they vanish I roam the whole galaxy from here lights and shadows flash across my mind not one dharma comes before me since I found the magic pearl I can go anywhere everywhere it`s perfect Cold Mountain A mountain man lives under thatchbefore his gate carts and horses are rarethe forest is quiet but |

Whole $14.61 Rated: NRSynopsis: “Baz” had a problem that no one seemed to understand, not even himself. For as long as he could remember, he felt with absolute certainty that his leg was not part of his body, that it was a foreign object. Eventually, he had it amputated. Melody Gilbert’s compelling documentary looks at a condition that does not exist in any medical textbooks, yet the symptoms and the patients who have them are quite real, and so are the widely varied reactions of those around them.This courageous film dares to ask questions without obvious answers, questions about body image, cosmetic surgery, and the lengths people will go to in order to complete themselves. |

A Bush Capital Year $19.11 The Australian Capital Territory is a treasure trove for naturalists, despite being without a coastline, without rainforest or without deserts. A wealth of biodiversity is found there, due to the close proximity of three major habitat types: the great western woodland grassy plains bump up against the inland edge of the coastal hinterland mountain forests, while the whole south-eastern Australian Alps system reaches its northern limit in the Brindabella Ranges. Each of these habitats has its own rich suite of plants and animals, so a great diversity of life can be found within an hour’s drive of Parliament House. A Bush Capital Year introduces the fauna, flora, habitats and reserves of the Australian Capital Territory and includes the most recent research available. It also emphasizes often unappreciated or even unrecognized urban wildlife. For each month of the year there are 10 stories which discuss either a species or a group of species, such as mosses and mountain grasshoppers. While never anthropomorphic, many of the stories are written from the organism’s point of view, while others are from that of an observer. Beautiful paintings complement the text and allow better visualization of the stories and the subjects. |

A Coward’s Progress $11.7 This is the story of a coward. His cowardice grew from events in earliest childhood and from his reaction to those events. He functioned by concealment and compensation-compensation through doing well in the things that adult society valued, concealment by hedging, glossing and exaggerating. When concealment played out, his mind was faced with the ultimate avoidance-self-destruction. Somehow, he faced and overcame this, and started the long climb to self-realization and a productive life. But though he reached this plateau professionally, something was left behind-his sexuality. He is confronting this when the book ends. He has determined to marry, but has done so in a state of panic, knowing that he has a whole other mountain to overcome. |

A Naturalist and Other Beasts: Tales from a Life in the Field $6.95 Since the 1950s, eminent field biologist George Schaller has roamed through many lands observing wild animals and conducting landmark long-term studies that have deepened our understanding of these creatures. He has reported and reflected on his work in classic, much-acclaimed books, including The Last Panda and National Book Award winner The Serengeti Lion, but much of his best writing has been ephemeral, published in magazines, only to drop out of sight. This collection features 19 short pieces brought together in book form to offer a unique overview of his life in the field.Chapters describe stalking tigers in India and jaguars in Brazil’s Pantanal swamps, studying mountain gorillas in Central Africa and predator-prey relations in the Serengeti, tracking newfound species on the wild border of Vietnam and Laos, searching for snow leopards in the Hindu Kush, and Schaller’s groundbreaking work with giant pandas in Sichuan. Later accounts broaden the focus from individual creatures to whole ecosystems. “The careless rapture of my early studies has been replaced more and more by efforts to protect animals and their habitats,” he writes.New to this book are Schaller’s introductions for each chapter, which add and update information, and an overall introduction that looks back on his remarkable career. |

A Practical View Of The Present State Of Slavery In The West Indies $28.96 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:Houses and Gardens of the Negroes, their Mode of Life, 8$c. The most common size of the negro houses is 28 feet long by 14 broad. Posts of hard wood about 9 feet long, or 7 above ground, are placed at a distance of two feet from one another, and the space between is closely wattled up and plastered. The roof is covered with the long mountain-thatch, palmeto-thatch, or dried guinea-grass, either of which is more durable than the straw thatch used in this country. Cane tops are also used for the purpose, but are not so lasting. To throw off the rain the thatch is brought down a considerable distance over the walls, which in consequence look low, and the roof high. The house is divided into three, and sometimes four apartments. The room in the middle, occupying the whole breadth of the house, has a door on each side, to admit a circulation of air. This is the sitting apartment, and here the poorer class make fire and cook their victuals; the more wealthy have a separate kitchen at a little distance. The smaller houses have the sitting room in one end, and two sleeping apartments in the other. Behind the house is the garden, filled with plantains, ochras, and other vegetables, which are produced at all seasons. It abounds also withcocoa-nut and calabash trees. A good cocoa-nut will be a meal to a man, and boiled among the sugar (which the negroes frequently do), would be a feast to an epicure. It contains also about a pint of a delicious juice, called ‘ cocoa-nut milk; the leaves, which are thick, and twelve or fifteen feet long, are shed occasionally all the year round, and not only make excellent fuel, but are sometimes used for thatch. The nut also yields oil for Jamps, and the shell is made into cups. Thus one tree affords meat, drink, fuel, thatch, oil for lamps, and cups |

A Rock Candy Dream $10.8 The Great Depression is a period that most young people consider ancient history, but their own grandparents probably remember it well, for the country was in shock and nothing afterward was ever the same. This story, told through the eyes of an eleven-year-old girl, is an account of what it was like in those dust-bowl days when thousands of people migrated west in search of the promised land: California. Whole families made the trek across Route 66, and their children went with them. One of them was Meg Buckland.Evicted from their home in Missouri, Meg and her father made their way westward in search of a future they could hardly imagine. But like many others they had dreams of a land where there would be jobs, and pay, and a new home. And maybe even some of those fantastic joys described in the popular song “The Big Rock Candy Mountain.” It’s safe to say that nothing turned out as they expected. |

A View of the River $15.9 With the Midwest under water, America had a chance to see how effectively it had “improved” its rivers. We’ve straightened and dredged them, revetted and rerouted them, made massive efforts to control them, yet our actions have been less than successful. Too often, physical changes made to a river conflict with natural processes, resulting in—rather than alleviating—damage. Applying available knowledge on how rivers form and act could prevent such problems. In this book, Luna Leopold seeks to organize such knowledge. Widely regarded as the most creative scholar in the field of river morphology, Leopold presents a coherent description of the river, its shape, size, organization, and action, along with a consistent theory that explains much of the observed character of channels.The laws of physics that govern rivers allow for variations, many of them dictated by random chance. Thus, a river’s adaptation, as Leopold describes it, tends toward the most probable form, the one with the least variance among hydraulic parameters. We see how this probabilistic tendency plays out as Leopold views the river as a whole from headwater to mouth, in the drainage net, in the behavior of meanders, and in aspects of sediment transport.Grounded in hydraulics, geomorphology, and surveying, as well as in extensive fieldwork on rivers in the eastern and Rocky Mountain states, Leopold’s view of a river is at once technical and personal, providing both a firm foundation for understanding the behavior of rivers—including instructions for getting started in backyard hydrology—and a wealth of firsthand observations by a thoughtful and experienced scientist. It will be of immediate interest and great use as we seek to develop, preserve, and appreciate our most fluid natural resource. |

Afflicting the Comfortable: Journalism and Politics in West Virginia $29.95 In 1990, the New York Times wrote, "Government corruption was not invented in West Virginia. But there are people who contend that West Virginia officials have done more than their share over the years to develop state-of-the-art techniques in vote theft, contract kickbacks, influence peddling and good old-fashioned bribery, extortion, fraud, tax evasion and outright stealing." While investigating such events as the Invest Right scandal, Thomas Stafford, a former journalist for the Charleston Gazette, would find himself in a very precarious position. As a reporter he felt obligated to tell the whole truth, and he believed in the need to serve the public and those West Virginians who were being abused by a political machine.In Afflicting the Comfortable, Stafford relates such tales of the responsibility of journalism and politics in coordination with scandals that have unsettled the Mountain State over the past few decades. His probing would take him from the halls of Charleston to the center of our nation’s ruling elite. Guided by his senses of duty, right, and fairness, he plunged head first into the misdeeds of West Virginia’s politicians. His investigations would be the preface to the downfall of a governor and an adminstration that had robbed the state and the citizens of West Virginia for years. |

Afflicting the Comfortable: Journalism and Politics in West Virginia $17.26 Thomas Stafford asks himself where the media and journalism come into play when government and politics turn corrupt. A former journalist for the Charleston Gazette, Stafford investigated several scandals that have unsettled the Mountain State over the past few decades. During his investigations, Stafford found himself in a very precarious position. He felt obliged to tell the whole truth, and he believed in the need to serve the public, especially those West Virginians who were being abused by a political machine. Stafford’s reporting eventually led to pressure from politicians and powerbrokers that would force him to give up his career. With intense passion, he held the convictions of journalistic integrity throughout. |

While he was sitting there he began to sing : “Praise God from whom all blessings flow, Praise Him all creatures here below.” ” What are you doing up there ? ” asked the priests, who stood below. ” I am praising the true God,” replied the missionary. Fujiyama I wonder what you have in your house that has come from Japan — fans ? screens ? pictures ? dainty bits of porcelain ? odd pieces of beautiful lacquer ware ? Perhaps, if you will look, you will find on some of these things the picture of a grand old mountain, with its great peak capped with snow. This is Fujiyama, the sacred mountain of Japan. It is the highest mountain in the empire, and so beautiful that it is the pride of every Japanese. So dearly do they love it that they paint it on everything they use. Pictures of it are printed on the cotton cloth the poor peoplewear, and woven into the costly silken garments of the rich. Fujiyama, or Mt. Fuji as we would call it, for yama means mountain, was once an active volcano, and the whole upper part of it is nothing but a mass of lava and ashes. It is this that gives it the peculiar purplish colour we see in all the pictures. It has been quiet for almost two hundred years, but at the summit, vapours hot enough to cook an egg are constantly coming up through cracks in the ground. Nobody knows how soon it may break out again and do great harm. Inside the crater at the top of thiswonderful mountain there are a great many idols which Japanese pilgrims come long distances to worship.

Alps $94.81 The Alps are one of the great mountain range systems of Europe, stretching from Austria and Slovenia in the east; through Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany; to France in the west. The highest mountain in the Alps is Mont Blanc, at 4,808 metres (15,774 ft), on the Italian-French border. All the main peaks of the Alps can be found in the list of mountains of the Alps and list of Alpine peaks by prominence. The English name Alps was taken via French from Latin Alpes, which may be ultimately cognate with Latin albus ( white ). The German Albe, Alpe or Alp in the singular means alpine pasture, and only in the plural may also refer to the mountain range as a whole. |

America Before the European Invasions $50.2 Beginning with the immigrants from Asia, through inventions of agriculture, cities and kingdoms, American First Nations are integral to the history of the United States. They explored the continent, pioneered its waterways and mountain passes, cleared forests, irrigated deserts, and ranched its great plains.Invading Europeans justifies their conquests by denying the evidence of American Indian civilisations. Using her familiarity with the archaeological remains and remnants, Alice Kehoe builds a fascinating prehistory, highlighting the research puzzles along the way.This book presents an enthralling look at the depth and diversity of American history – before the Europeans and the deadly epidemics they brought with them decimated whole nations. |

American Courage, American Carnage: The 7th Infantry Regiment’s Combat Experience, 1812 Through World War II $16.99 Only one U.S. Army regiment, the 7th Infantry, has served in every war from 1812 through the present day. In The 7th Infantry Regiment: Combat in an Age of Terror, heralded military historian John C. McManus told the dramatic story of the 7th Infantry Regiment’s modern combat experiences, from Korea through Iraq. Now, in this compelling prequel, McManus relates the rest of the 7th’s amazing, and previously untold, story from the Battle of New Orleans through the end of World War II. No American unit has earned more battle streamers and few can boast more Medal of Honor winners.In the months leading up to the War of 1812, Congress authorized the creation of this regiment. It fought with distinction at the Battle of New Orleans, anchoring General Andrew Jackson’s main defensive line, forever earning the nickname “Cottonbalers” because the soldiers of the 7th were said to have battled the British from behind large rows of cotton bales. From now on, whenever Americans went to war, the Cottonbalers would always find themselves in the center of the action, where the danger was greatest.Between these covers is the whole story, told through the eyes of the soldiers—the realities of combat expressed in raw human terms. From the marshy grounds of the Chalmette plantation in New Orleans to the daunting heights of Chapultepec in Mexico City; from the bloody horror of the long, stone wall at Fredericksburg to the deadly crossfire of the Wheatfield at Gettysburg, from the shocking gore of Custer’s massacre at Little Bighorn to the desperation of dusty frontier battles; from the foggy hills of Santiago in Cuba to the muddy, pockmarked no man’s land of Belleau Wood in France; from the invasion of North Africa to Sicily, Anzio, southern France, the Vosges Mountains, the breaching of the Rhine, and the 7th’s triumphant capture of Hitler’s mountain home at Berchtesgaden in May, 1945, this remarkable book chronicles multiple generations of Cottonbalers who |

American History: An American History Textbook $3.99 When peace came in 1783 there were in the United States approximately three million people, who were spread over the whole Atlantic coast from Maine to Georgia and back into the interior as far as the Alleghany Mountains; and a relatively small number of settlers had crossed the mountain barrier. About twenty per cent of the population, or some six hundred thousand, were slaves. There was also a large alien element of foreign birth or descent, poor when they arrived in America, and, although they had been able to raise themselves to a position of comparative comfort, life among them was still crude and rough. Many of the people were poorly educated and lacking in cultivation and refinement and in a knowledge of the usages of good society. Not only were they looked down upon by other nations of the world; there was within the United States itself a relatively small upper class inclined to regard the mass of the people as of an inferior order. Thus, while forces were at work favorable to democracy, the gentry remained in control of affairs after the Revolution, although their numbers were reduced by the emigration of the Loyalists and their power was lessened. The explanation of this aristocratic control may be found in the fact that the generation of the Revolution had been accustomed to monarchy and to an upper class and that the people were wont to take their ideas and to accept suggestions from their betters without question or murmur. This deferential attitude is attested by the indifference of citizens to the right of voting. In our own day, before the great extension of woman suffrage, the number of persons voting approximated twenty per cent of the population, but after the Revolution less than five per cent of the white population voted. There were many limitations upon the exercise of the suffrage, but the small number of voters was only partially due to these restrictions, for in later years, |

American Rock: Region Rock and Culture in American Climbing $9 The book Lynn Hill called “the first and only book to look at American climbing as a whole.” American Rock is a celebration of the diversity of American rock climbing and an authoritative history of how the sport evolved at dozens of climbing hotspots around the country.The United States offers rock climbers a greater variety of geologic environments than any other country in the world. In recent years the sport has exploded and American climbers, once isolated from each other, now cross the country in search of new rock, sharing techniques, equipment, and information. In this thoughtful history and overview, veteran climber Mellor celebrates a dazzling mosaic of American geologic regions and the distinct climbing styles they have engendered. The rock, regions, and styles he explores include: Adirondack and White Mountain granite; Shawangunk conglomerate; the fragile red sandstone in the desert Southwest; western big-wall climbing on stark white walls of Sierra granite; steep walls and overhanging sandstone in the Southeast; and high-altitude mountaineering in the Rockies, Tetons, and Cascades. Mellor also chronicles the rich history and vibrant personalities of the climbing scene, and explores the meaning behind ongoing debates over access, techniques, and equipment. 42 black & white photographs, index. Author Biography: Don Mellor has been climbing, teaching climbing, and writing about climbing since the early seventies. He has climbed many of America’s famous routes, including El Capitan, Half Dome, and the Diamond at Longs Peak, and has established more than 100 first ascents in the Adirondacks. He is Dean of Students at the Northwood School in Lake Placid, New York, and a guide at Rock and River Guide Service. Don is also the author of Rock Climbing: A Trailside Guide and Climbing in the Adirondacks, and is the climbing expert on Gorp.com. He lives in Lake Placid, New York. |

An Abolitionist in the Appalachian South $38.71 Durwood Dunn’s incisive portrait of Ezekiel Birdseye not only enlightens in rich and startling ways our understanding of race relations, politics, and economic development for a substantial portion of the mountain South, it is equally as significant a contribution to the growing scholarship on American abolitionism. One finishes this book baffled by the fact that so vital a voice in the antislavery movement has been overlooked by so many for so long . — John C. Inscoe, University of Georgia This book reveals a record of lively southern reform activity and business enterprise that has too long gone unrecognized. This is a rewarding piece of detective work . — Merton L. Dillon, author of The AbolitionistsThis volume, a collection of letters written by an abolitionist businessman who lived in East Tennessee prior to the Civil War, provides one of the clearest firsthand views yet published of a region whose political, social, and economic distinctions have intrigued historians for more than a century.Durwood Dunn’s extensive introduction describes abolitionism in Appalachia and Ezekiel Birdseye’s relation to it. A native of Connecticut, Birdseye came to East Tennessee in 1838 after having lived for at least twenty years in other parts of the South, including South Carolina and Alabama. His familiarity with slavery in the lower southern states gave him a unique perspective on the peculiar institution as it existed in East Tennessee. Between 1841 and 1846, Birdseye expressed his views and observations in letters to Gerrit Smith, a prominent New York reformer who arranged to have many of them published in antislavery newspapers such as the Emancipator and Friend of Man.Thoseletters, reproduced in this book, drew on Birdseye’s extensive conversations with slaveholders, nonslaveholders, and the slaves themselves. He found that East Tennesseans, on the whole, were antislavery in sentiment, susceptible to rational abolitionist appeal, and generally far more leni |

An Introduction To The Survey Of Western Palestine $34.86 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:Jebel Adather (alt. 3,300 feet) which divides the first class basins of Wady el Ezziyeh and Wady el Kurn. From the foot of Jebel Adather, the waterparting runs with second class basins, beginning with the important Wady Kerkera; north of which it meets a series of small basins confined in a triangular space between the lower part of Wady el Ezziyeh and the mountain range of Jebel el Mushakkah, so well known by its termination on the coast in Eas en Nakurah. This group of minor basins has undergone much rectification from the Palestine Exploration Survey. The largest of them are Wady Shemd, and Wady ez Zerka, the latter rising in the mountain of Kh. Belat (alt. 2,467 feet), from which is a panoramic prospect of great extent and beauty. The Tell Belat (alt. 2,020 feet), is a distinct summit to the south in the midst of the Wady Kerkera basin. Among the dubious questions set at rest by the Palestine Exploration Survey, none is more striking than the topography of the Ezziyeh basin. Eobinson’s map throws but little light upon it. Van de Velde’s map and the ” Holy Land ” edited by Dr. George Grove for Dr. William Smith’s Ancient Atlas, are remarkable approximations to the truth. But the latest map in Mons. V. Guerin’s elaborate ” Description de la Galilee ” erroneously throws the whole of the southern part of the upper Ezziyeh basin from Kh. Shelabun (Guerin’s Kh. Cha’laboun) to Kh. el Kurah (Guerin’s Kh. Koura) into the Kerkera basin. So also does Lieutenant Van de Velde. The Basin Of WadyKerkera.

THE SLOWNESS OF MORAL PROGRESS. Ibaiah XI. 9; 2 Peter III. 8. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall befall of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea. But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is, with the Lord, as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. Thus far we have established the analogy between the stately processes of the material creation and the progress of the knowledge of the Creator, derived through the contemplation of His works by the intellect of man. By creation you will all along have understood that I mean, not that solemn exercise of the Divine power by which the Creator evoked into being matter and force;—though whatever else matter and force may be, they are at least the exhibitions of God’s will;—nor am I, in the term creation, in any degree referring to the grand speculations or guesses of the elder Herschel or of his great coternporary, who endeavoured, it may be with little success, to reduce those thoughts to the domainof his own subtle geometry; but I am speaking of those successive stages in the divine plan of the earth’s development whereby there was at every stage a fitting existence of beauty and life and happiness, each stage forming only the necessary platform for the next, until the whole beneficent arrangement culminated in this fair earth of ours, compacted and fitted for a being endued with latent vast capacities, who by the contemplation of what he beheld, and the subjugation of the earth to his own necessities or convenience, was ordained gradually to raise his intellectual being to a higher and a nobler life.

Appalachian Case Study $6.89 The state of West Virginia has a long prominent history of unexplained happenings and bizarre sightings of unidentified flying objects (UFOs). Perhaps it’s because we are a rural state—geographically covered with harsh mountains and rolling hills, being far from more densely populated territories—that makes this phenomena even more fantastic. Maybe the people here are just more observant of such oddities, or more willing to report such experiences to authorities. Then again, it could be that the Mountain State is in somewhat close proximity to the nation’s capitol, Washington, DC, or to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, in Dayton, Ohio, that makes such sightings probable. Regardless of the reasons for the increased activity in Appalachia, it remains a fact that citizens of the state have recorded an astounding number of UFO sightings over the last fifty years. Among these have been high profile incidents such as the famed Braxton County Monster. Additionally, the legendary Mothman sightings, near Point Pleasant, still mystify investigators and enthusiasts. There were the infamous “Men in Black” investigators that have garnered international attention to the Appalachian Mountains. Hundreds of lesser-known cases exist where solid citizens of upright character claimed to have witnessed strange flying objects over the state’s airspace. Many of these sightings have been reported to county law enforcement or to federal investigative agencies, often with lackluster results. However, it’s likely that an even greater percentage of eyewitnesses have kept their experiences secret to avoid public ridicule or harassment from non-believers. To this day, the whole UFO situation is oftenviewed as an erroneous and suspect enigma. Of course, author Kyle Lovern tends to see things differently, and so do millions of others like him. This work includes 16 fresh sightings and interviews with the individuals who experienced the unexplained. |

Archaeology of the Caucasus: Dolmens of North Caucasus, Kura-Araxes culture, Maykop culture, Shulaveri-Shomu culture, Maikop kurgan $8.25 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Chapters: Dolmens of North Caucasus, Kura-Araxes Culture, Maykop Culture, Shulaveri-Shomu Culture, Maikop Kurgan, Novotitorovka Culture, Prehistoric Caucasus. Excerpt: Concentrations of megaliths, dolmens and stone labyrinths have been found (but little studied) throughout the Caucasus Mountains, including the the Abkhazian region of Georgia. Most of them are represented by rectangular structures made of stone slabs or cut in rocks with holes in their facade. These dolmens cover the Western Caucasus on both sides of the mountain ridge, in an area of approximately 12.000 square kilometres of Russia and Abkhazia. The Caucasian dolmens represent a unique type of prehistoric architecture, built with precisely dressed large stone blocks. The stones were, for example, shaped into 90-degree angles, to be used as corners or were curved to make a circle. The monuments date between the end of the 4th millennium and the beginning of the 2nd millennium B.C. While generally unknown in the rest of Europe, these Russian megaliths are equal to the great megaliths of Europe in terms of age and quality of architecture, but are still of an unknown origin. In spite of the variety of Caucasian monuments, they show strong similarities with megaliths from different parts of Europe and Asia, like the Iberian Peninsula, France, Great Britain, Ireland, Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Israel and India. A range of hypotheses has been put forward to explain these similarities and the building of megaliths on the whole, but still it remains unclear. Approximately 3,000 of these megalithic monuments are known in the Western Caucasus, but more are constantly being found, while more and more are also being destroyed. Today, many are in great disrepair and will be completely l… More: |

Aria (Satrapy) $39.99 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Aria inhabitants: Arians name of a region in the eastern part of the Persian empire, several times confused with Ariane in the classical sources. Aria was an Old Persian satrapy, which enclosed chiefly the valley of the Hari River (this being eponymous to the whole land according to Arrian) and which in antiquity was considered as particularly fertile and, above all, rich in wine. The region of Aria was separated by mountain ranges from the Paropamisadae in the east, Parthia in the west and Margiana and Hyrcania in the north, while a desert separated it from Carmania and Drangiana in the south. It is described in a very detailed manner by Ptolemy and Strabo and corresponds, according to that, almost to the Herat Province of today’s Afghanistan. |

Ashes; (Cenere); A Sardinian Story $20.77 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:wait no more ‘ ; of the long black cloak hanging on the wall; of the child who had seen the dead man. And she thought of the little naked birds in the deserted nest; of her poor little neglected brothers; of Anania’s treasure; of midsummer night; and of her dead mother. She was afraid—she was sad, so sad that though she believed herself doomed to hell, she longed to die. Ol!’s son was born at Fonni in the springtime. He was called Anania by the advice of his godmother, the bandit’s widow. He passed his infancy at Fonni, and in his imagination never forgot that strange village perched on the mountain crest, like a slumbering vulture. During the long winter, Fonni was all snow and fog ; but with the spring grass invaded even the steep village street, where beetles slept among the big, sun-warmed cobblestones, and ants ran confidingly in and out of their holes. The meagre brown houses with their roofs of scandtde (wooden tiles overlapping each other like fish- scales), showed on the street side narrow black doorways, balconies of rotten wood, little stairs often vine-garlanded. The Basilica of the Martyrs, with its picturesque belfry, rose among the green oaks of the old Convent court, dominating the whole little town and carved against a sky of crystalline blue. Fabulous beauty reigned on all sides. The tall mountains of the Gennargentu, their luminous summits outlined as it were with silver,crowned the great Barbagia valley, which in a succession of immense green shells rose to the hill-topS; among these Fonni with its scaled roofs and stony streets, defied the thunder and the winds. The district was in winter almost deserted, for its numerous population of wandering shepherds (men strong as the blast, and astute as foxes) descended with their flocks to the warm |

Asthma: The Biography $24.95 Asthma is a familiar and growing disease today, but its story goes back to the ancient world, as we know from accounts in ancient texts from China, India, Greece and Rome. It was treated with acupuncture and Ayurveda.As Western medicine developed, the nature of asthma became clearer, and its basis in the lungs recognized. But cultural perceptions of the disease shifted too. By the 18th century, with recognition that the disease was centred on the lungs, the idea of environmental triggers such as dust and smoke first became recognized. And with that, asthma also became identified as a disease of artisans. Things changed again in the 19th century, as medical understanding grew with the advent of the stethoscope and new techniques such as percussion of the chest. New treatments included the promotion of mountain spas, for asthma now rose in social status, and became associated with the upper classes and the literati. For Marcel Proust and Charles Dickens, asthma shaped their lives and their creativity.From early in the 20th century, the idea of asthma as an allergic disease became established, and the search for environmental causes was on. Hay fever was closely linked, and pharmaceutical companies began to make antihistamines, anti-inflammatories and bronchodilators. Asthma sufferers were warned to beware of pets, simplify their furnishings, and take holidays by the sea far from pollens. But a newly emerging concept was that attacks could be triggered by stress and psychological factors. With musicians such as Schoenberg and Berg as celebrity sufferers, the idea of asthma as an élite disease persisted.In recent years, attitudes have changed again, as incidences of asthma grew dramatically across the world, especially among the young. The disease has now become closely linked to modern lifestyles and the many products of civilization. The battle against house-dust mites began, and whole new lines of anti-allergenic products and foods were launched - |

Chapters: Austrian People Murdered Abroad, Hugo Bettauer, Friedl Dicker-Brandeis, Julius Klinger, Peter Burgstaller, Else Feldmann, Harald Reinl, Leopold Von Pebal, Kurt Landau. Excerpt: Hugo Bettauer (18 August 1872 26 March 1925), born Maximilian Hugo Bettauer, was a prolific Austrian writer and journalist, who was murdered by a Nazi Party follower on account of his controversial views. He was very well known in his lifetime; many of his books were bestsellers and in the 1920s a number were made into films, most notably Die freudlose Gasse (The Joyless Street, directed by Georg Wilhelm Pabst, 1925), which dealt with prostitution, and Die Stadt ohne Juden (The City Without Jews, directed by Hans Karl Breslauer, 1924), a satire against anti-Semitism. Maximilian Hugo Bettauer, later known as Hugo Bettauer, was born in Baden bei Wien on 18 August 1872, the son of the stockbroker Arnold (Samuel Aron) Bettauer from Lemberg (Lviv) and his wife Anna (née Wecker). He had two older sisters, Hermine (Michi) and Mathilde. In 1887-88, together with Karl Kraus, he attended the fourth form of the Franz-Joseph-Gymnasium in the Stubenbastei, Vienna. Kraus was to be his fiercest critic for the whole of his life. At the age of 16 Bettauer ran away from home and travelled to Alexandria, from where the Austrian Consul sent him straight back again. In 1890 Bettauer converted from the Jewish faith to the Evangelical church. In the same year he joined the Kaiserjäger (Imperial mountain infantry) as a one-year volunteer. The change of religion was presumably connected with the fact that Jewish soldiers who lacked noble status found it virtually impossible to make any kind of career in the military, and for conversion purposes the Evangelical Church was preferable to the R… More: |

Autobiography Of Amos Kendall $50.75 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:CHAPTER II. The most interesting association formed by Mr. Kendall in college, resulted from his membership in a private club for mutual improvement, which had been organized in the autumn of 1807, and was unknown to him until he was invited to join it. It was composed exclusively of members of his class, not more than a dozen in all; it had no constitution or regulations, no officers, the members presiding in alphabetical order, and meeting weekly at their own rooms. Its exercises were composition, declamation, and forensic discussion; all participating in each, not by appointment, but in alphabetical order. It was the duty of all to observe and criticise the performances of each, and this function was uniformly exercised in a kindly spirit. Care was taken to invite none into the club who were not of irreproachable moral character and sincerely desirous of self-improvement. Though no injunction of secrecy was imposed on members, the understanding was that they should not speak of their club to outsiders, and its existence was apparently unknown out of their own circle during their whole college life. Never was a club more orderly, though without rules of order, and never were the objects of an association more steadily and faithfully pursued. It is with an affectionate remembrance that their names are here recorded: namely, Joseph Perry, Jonathan Curtis, Daniel Poor, Jonathan Fowle, Nathaniel H. Carter, Robert Crowell, Theophilus Wilson, Joseph Bailey, David Pierce, Daniel Rockwood,William Cogswell, Samuel Woodbury, and Caleb Chase. In July of this year Kendall made a visit, in company with his classmate, Daniel Rockwood, to Windsor, Vt., West Parish, where lived a Mr. Cummings who married a sister of his father. They desired to ascend Ascutney Mountain, about three |

Baltic Gods: Latvian Gods, Lithuanian Gods, Prussian Gods, Auseklis, Dievas, Perk nas, A vieniai, Picollus, altys, Bangp tys, Zempat $8.96 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Perknas (Lithuanian: , Latvian: , Prussian: Perkns, Yotvingian Parkuns) was the common Baltic god of thunder, one of the most important deities in the Baltic pantheon. In both Lithuanian and Latvian mythology, he is documented as the god of thunder, rain, mountains, oak trees and the sky. He corresponds to Perun from Slavic mythology. The name continues PIE *, cognate to *, a word for “oak”, “fir” or “wooded mountain”. The Proto-Baltic name *Perknas can be reconstructed with certainty. Slavic Perun is a related god, but not an etymologically precise match. The names Fjörgynn as a name for Odin, and Fjörgyn, mother of Thor, have been proposed as cognates. Finnish Perkele, a name of Ukko, is considered a loan from Baltic. The name survives in Modern Baltic as Lithuanian perknas (“thunder”), perknija (“thunder-storm”), and the Latvian prkons (both “thunder” and “thunderstorm”). Alternative names in Latvian are Prkoni (diminutive), Prkontis (diminutive), Prkona tvs (direct translation would be Father of Thunder but it might be interpreted as God of Thunder instead), Vecais tvs (Old father). Most information about Perknas comes from folklore songs, legends, and fairy tales. Because most of them were collected rather late in the 19th century, they represent only some fragments of the whole mythology. Lithuanian Perknas has many alternative onomatopoeic names, like Dundulis, Dundutis, Dd senis, Tarkulis, Tarkutis, Blizgulis, etc. The earliest attestation of Perknas seems to be in the Russian translation of the Chronicle of John Malalas (1261) where it speaks about the worship of ” “, and in the Livonian Rhymed Chronicle (around 1290) which mentions the idol Perkn. In the Constitutiones Synodales (1530) Perknas is mentioned in a list of gods before … More: |
