In Edge of the Orison the visionary Iain Sinclair walks in the steps of poet John ClareIn 1841 the poet John Clare fled an asylum in Epping Forest and walked eighty miles to his home in Northborough. He was searching for his lost love, Mary Joyce - a woman three years dead ... In 2000 Iain Sinclair set out to recreate Clares walk away from madness. He wanted to understand his bond with the poet and escape the gravity of his London obsessions. Accompanied on this journey by his wife Anna (who shares a connection with Clare), the artist Brian Catling and magus Alan Moore - as well as a host of literary ghosts, both visionary and romantic - Sinclairs quest for Clare becomes an investigation into madness, sanity and the nature of the poets muse.Brilliant . . . amusing, alarming and poignant.

Author: Zeev Maoz
File Type: pdf
In this book, Zeev Maoz offers a new theory of networked international politics. Maoz views the evolution of international relations over the last two centuries as a set of interacting, cooperative, and conflicting networks of states. The networks that emerged are the result of national choice processes about forming or breaking ties with other states. States are constantly concerned with their security and survival in an anarchic world. Their security concerns stem from their external environment and their past conflicts. Because many of them cannot ensure their security by their own power, they need allies to balance against a hostile international environment. The alliance choices made by states define the structure of security cooperation networks and spill over into other cooperative networks, including trade and institutions. Maoz tests his theory by applying social networks analysis (SNA) methods to international relations. He offers a novel perspective on the study of international relations as a system of interrelated networks that co-evolve and interact with one another.Book DescriptionIn this book, Zeev Maoz offers a new theory of networked international politics, viewing the evolution of international relations over the last two centuries as a set of interacting, cooperative, and conflicting networks of states.

THE R
138884
Author: Kenneth R. H. Mackenzie
File Type: pdf
The nineteenth-century writer and Masonic scholar Kenneth R. H. Mackenzie (1833-86) studied occultism with Frederick Hockley, and met the famous French occultist Eliphas Levi in 1861. He was also involved in the foundation of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. This extensive encyclopaedia, first published in 1877, is considered to be a classic Masonic reference work. It includes detailed information on the symbols, rites, legends, terms, people and places associated with Freemasonry. Some of the symbols are illustrated and lists of rankings are given, including a traditional list of Grand Masters of England that includes Sts Swithin and Dunstan, Alfred the Great, Sir Christopher Wren (twice) and Charles II. Mackenzie aims in his entries to be critical when relevant as he says in the Preface, freemasonry has received a willing tribute in his book, but he hints at difficulties encountered in publishing material about a famously secretive society.

FADE
36404
Author: Robert Cormier
File Type: mobi
From Publishers WeeklyMuch of Cormiers fiction poses a paradox you are most alive just as outside forces obliterate your identity. Cormiers protagonists want to be anonymous, and their wishes are fulfilled in nightmarish ways. In Fade , which encompasses three stories in three decades, 13-year-old Paul discovers an incredible secret gift he can become invisible. His long-lost uncle appears, to tell Paul that each generation of the family has one fader, and to warn him of the fades dangers. Paul, however, abuses his power and quickly learns its terrible price. Twenty-five years later, Paul, a successful writer, confronts the next fader, his abused nephew Ozzie, whose power is pure vengeance. And 25 years after that, in 1988, Pauls distant cousin Susan, also a writer, reads his amazing story, and must decide if Pauls memoir is fact or fiction. Fade is an allegory of the writers life. Pauls actions stem from his compulsion to understand the behavior of the people around him Susans questions and her awful dilemma, which concludes the book, result from her near-pathological writers focus on other persons, a purpose her unreachable late cousin serves well. Omniscient powerPauls invisibility and Susans access to his unpublished workleads to identity-consuming responsibility. At its best, Fade is an examination of the writers urge to lose identity and become purely an observer. As in all Cormiers novels, the protagonists are ciphers whose only affirming action seems to be to assert, however briefly, that they exist. The story is gripping, even when it approaches melodrama, and Cormier concentrates on each actions inner meaning. Fade works better as allegory than as fantasy this is Cormiers most complex, artful work. He seems to challenge himself as a writer, and in doing so, offers a respectful challenge to his readers. Through him, they will discover the extremes of behavior in the quietest human soul. Ages 13-up. 1988 Reed Business Information, Inc. From School Library JournalGrade 10-12 Those who find Cormiers novels bleak, dark, disturbing, and violent will not be disappointed with his latest. And true to his past, he has given readers a story with more twists and turns than a mile of concertina wire. The first half is set in Frenchtown, a working-class section of a Massachusetts town. The time is the 1930s, and the evocation of life among the French-Canadians (with marvelous names like Omer LaBatt and Rudolphe Toubert), who toiled in sweatshops where celluloid combs were made, is the best thing about the novel. Not that the story line doesnt work. Cormier uses an old device that guarantees attentiona lead character who can make himself invisible. The rules for fading are as complicated as a missile defense treaty. Paul Moreaux is the teenage fader who narrates the first section, an autobiographical account written after he has become a famous novelist. Readers learn early on that there is a grim side to this gift of fading and that Cormier intends it to represent a potentially evil force within us all. Subsequent sections include a narration by a present-day female cousin, which throws into question the truth of the entire first section, and a concluding section that features another cousin who can fade but who is certainly mad and possibly possessed. So the novel has a bit of many things magic, murder, mystery, history, romance, diabolical possession, sex (not a lot, but what there is is explicit), and even a touch of incest. The character of Paul is developed especially well. The story is too long, and the plot is too contrived to be taken seriously, but Fade is riveting enough to be appreciated by Cormier fans.

ROME:
24464
Author: Ferdinand Addis
File Type: epub
A thrilling portrait of the city at the heart of Western civilization, brought to life in twenty-two scenes from its 2,500-year history. Why does Rome continue to exert a hold on the worlds imagination? Ferdinand Addis brings the myth of Rome alive by concentrating on vivid episodes from its long and unimaginably rich history. Each of his beautifully composed chapters is an evocative, self-contained narrative, whether it is the murder of Caesar the near-destruction of the city by the Gauls in 387 BC the construction of the Colosseum and the fate of the gladiators Berninis creation of the Baroque masterpiece that is St Peters Basilica the brutal crushing of republican dreams in 1849 the sinister degeneration of Mussolinis first state, or the magical, corrupt Rome of Fellinis La Dolce Vita. This is an epic, kaleidoscopic history of a city indelibly associated with republicanism and dictatorship, Christian orthodoxy and its rivals, high art and low life in all its forms.

THE A

Author: Jeff Nunokawa
File Type: pdf
In The Afterlife of Property, Jeff Nunokawa investigates the conviction passed on by the Victorian novel that a womans love is the only fortune a man can count on to last. Taking for his example four texts, Charles Dickenss Little Dorrit and Dombey and Son, and George Eliots Daniel Deronda and Silas Marner, Nunokawa studies the diverse ways that the Victorian novel imagines women as property removed from the uncertainties of the marketplace. Along the way, he notices how the categories of economics, gender, sexuality, race, and fiction define one another in the Victorian novel.If the novel figures women as safe property, Nunokawa argues, the novel figures safe property as a woman. And if the novel identifies the angel of the house, the desexualized subject of Victorian fantasies of ideal womanhood, as safe property, it identifies various types of fiction, illicit sexualities, and foreign races with the enemy of such property the commodity form. Nunokawa shows how these convergences of fiction, sexuality, and race with the commodity form are part of a scapegoat scenario, in which the otherwise ubiquitous instabilities of the marketplace can be contained and expunged, clearing the way for secure possession. The Afterlife of Property addresses literary and cultural theory, gender studies, and gay and lesbian studies.ReviewJeff Nunokawa enters the familiar territory of Victorian fiction where capital and romance coexist and illuminates the subject in ways that are aften striking and valuable. . . . A provocative exploration. (Victorian Review )Brilliant. . . . Nunokawas book . . . will inspire anyone interested in the place of property in Victorian culture. (John Kucich Victorian Studies )The achievements of this elegant book are clear. . . . [It provides] finely nuanced and strikingly innovative readings of four canonical novels. (Catherine Gallagher Nineteenth-Century Literature )[An] illuminating reading . . . of social and domestic relations in the nineteenth century. (Natalie McKnight Dickens Quarterly ) About the AuthorJeff Nunokawa is Associate Professor of English at Princeton University. He is the author of Tame Passions of Wilde (Princeton).

Author: Tom Rademacher
File Type: pdf
Tom Rademacher wishes someone had handed him this sort of book along with his teaching degree a clear-eyed, frank, boots-on-the ground account of what he was getting into. But first he had to write it. And as 2014s Minnesota Teacher of the Year, Rademacher knows what hes talking about. Less a how-to manual than a tribute to an impossible and impossibly rewarding profession, It Wont Be Easy captures the experience of teaching in all its messy glory. The book follows a year of teaching, with each chapter tackling a different aspect of the job. Pulling no punches (and resisting no punch lines), he writes about establishing yourself in a new building teaching meaningful classes, keeping students a priority investigating how race, gender, and identity affect your work and why its a good idea to keep an extra pair of pants at school. Along the way he answers the inevitable and the unanticipated questions, from what to do with Google to how to tell if youre really a terrible teacher, to why Keep your head down might well be the worst advice for a new teacher. Though directed at prospective and newer teachers, It Wont Be Easy is mercifully short on jargon and long on practical wisdom, accessible to anyoneteacher, student, parent, punditwho is interested in a behind-the-curtain look at teaching and willing to understand that, while there are no simple answers, there is power in learning to ask the right questions. **Review Besides the fact that it is truly laugh out loud funny, this book stands in for what so many teachers need the teacher-friend whose room you can stomp into when you need empathy over your lack of coolness the friend who will make you feel better about the mistakes you made, who will celebrate your crazy schemes, who will help you find your reasons why you need to come back when you want to quit. That kind of friend is a rare and precious person who doesnt exist on many campuses, so thank God that Tom gave us one in book form thats portable enough to take wherever we need companionship.Shanna Peeples, 2015 National Teacher of the Year In a breath of fresh air called Tom Rademacher, we get that desperately needed voice of a teacher who loves his kids enough to challenge us to think differently. It Wont Be Easy gets us into the classroom and on the path to new ways of educating and valuing the next generation.R.T. Rybak, former mayor of Minneapolis, President and CEO of The Minneapolis Foundation, and author of Pothole Confidential My Life as Mayor of Minneapolis About the Author Tom Rademacher is an English teacher in Minneapolis. His writing has appeared in EdPost, MinnPost, and on his blog, Mr. Rads Neighborhood, and he speaks about teaching at universities, conferences, and TEDx events.

ATHEN
48656
Author: John Oakley
File Type: pdf
Athenian Potters and Painters III presents a rich mass of new material on Greek vases, including finds from excavations at the Kerameikos in Athens and Despotiko in the Cyclades. Some contributions focus on painters or workshops - Paseas, the Robinson Group, and the structure of the figured pottery industry in Athens others on vase forms - plates, phialai, cups, and the change in shapes at the end of the sixth century BC. Context, trade, kalos inscriptions, reception, the fabrication of inscribed painters names to create a fictitious biography, and the reconstruction of the contents of an Etruscan tomb are also explored. The iconography and iconology of various types of figured scenes on Attic pottery serve as the subject of a wide range of papers - chariots, dogs, baskets, heads, departures, an Amazonomachy, Menelaus and Helen, red-figure komasts, symposia, and scenes of pursuit. Among the special vases presented are a black spotlight stamnos and a column krater by the Suessula Painter. Athenian Potters and Painters III, the proceedings of an international conference held at the College of William and Mary in Virginia in 2012, will, like the previous two volumes, become a standard reference work in the study of Greek pottery.**
