Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Fulford, D.O. (1905-1997) was an important, if enigmatic, figure in late twentieth-century osteopathy. Trained at the Kansas City School of Osteopathy and Surgery (class of 1941), he was a strong believer in the -triune- nature of man---physical, mental, and spiritual---and the importance of diagnosing and treating the whole person, not just the physical symptoms. Dr. Fulford's career was a testament to this ideal, what A.T. Still called the philosopher physician. In the mid-1940s he studied cranial osteopathy with William Garner Sutherland and became a lifelong member (and one-time president) of The Cranial Academy. During the course of a practice that spanned six decades he explored a wide spectrum of scientific and philosophical ideas about the basis and mechanics of life. Nothing was off limits---field theory, Aryuvedic medicine, biomagnetics, psychological and subtle energy medicine, crystals. Always he followed Sutherland's advice to -dig on, - integrating whatever was useful into the practice of what he termed -twenty-first century medicine.-

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As majestic in its scope as the country it celebrates. [Johnson's] theme is the men and women, prominent and unknown, whose energy, vision, courage and confidence shaped a great nation. It is a compelling antidote to those who regard the future with pessimism."— Henry A. Kissinger Paul Johnson's prize-winning classic, A History of the American People, is an in-depth portrait of the American people covering every aspect of U.S. history—from politics to the arts. "The creation of the United States of America is the greatest of all human adventures," begins Paul Johnson's remarkable work. "No other national story holds such tremendous lessons, for the American people themselves and for the rest of mankind." In A History of the American People, historian Johnson presents an in-depth portrait of American history from the first colonial settlements to the Clinton administration. This is the story of the men and women who shaped and led the nation and the ordinary people who collectively created its unique character. Littered with letters, diaries, and recorded conversations, it details the origins of their struggles for independence and nationhood, their heroic efforts and sacrifices to deal with the 'organic sin’ of slavery and the preservation of the Union to its explosive economic growth and emergence as a world power. Johnson discusses contemporary topics such as the politics of racism, education, the power of the press, political correctness, the growth of litigation, and the influence of women throughout history. Sometimes controversial and always provocative, A History of the American People is one author’s challenging and unique interpretation of American history. Johnson’s views of individuals, events, themes, and issues are original, critical, and in the end admiring, for he is, above all, a strong believer in the history and the destiny of the American people.
Download or read book Boom Town to Ghost Town written by Richard Perske and published by . This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GOLD! The one-word headline in the July 3, 1893 edition of the Fulford Signal newspaper summed up the very reason for the existence of this mining boom camp in the rugged mountains southeast of Eagle, Colorado. Although Fulford's booms were early and short-lived, interest in the one-time mining camp has continued for decades. Over the years, the stories of adventure and tragedy (including a tale of a lost gold mine) kept people intrigued. Author Richard Perske is the first writer to spend countless hours researching old newspapers and historical files to present the true story of Fulford.
Download or read book The Triumph of Narrative written by Robert Fulford and published by House of Anansi. This book was released on 1999-11-01 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Narrative has been central to human life for millennia, and the twentieth century has been preeminently the age of the story. Mass culture and mass leisure have enabled us to spend far more time absorbing stories, real and imaginary, than any of our ancestors. Whether or not this has been to our benefit is one of the questions raised by journalist and 1999 CBC Massey lecturer Robert Fulford. Narrative, Fulford points out, is how we explain, how we teach, how we entertain ourselves - often all at once. It is the bundle in which we wrap truth, hope, and dread. It is crucial to civilization. Fulford writes engagingly and energetically about narrative history, narrative in news coverage, the rise of electronic narrative, and narrative as it flourishes in the form of gossip, "the folk-art version of literature," revealing to us the mystery, power, and importance of story in all our lives.
Download or read book The Mushroom Collector written by Jason Fulford and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication reissues a beloved photobook classic--acknowledged as such by Martin Parr and Gerry Badger in the third volume of The Photobook: A History--that has been out of print since the hardcover edition was published in 2010. As photographer Jason Fulford (born 1973) recently learned firsthand, mushrooms have a way of growing and spreading wherever they touch ground. It all started when a friend of Fulford's gave him a box, found at a flea market, full of photos of mushrooms--unassuming pictures taken by an unknown but almost certainly amateur photographer, apparently as notes for some mycological studies. Fulford's art photographs (aside from his well-known book Dancing Pictures, which depicted people getting down to their favorite songs) are usually of staid, quasi-mute objects: a smashed Dorito chip overrun with ants, two bronzed doorknobs spooning, the blank back of a street sign. Yet these mushroom images got stuck in Fulford's mind, like a bad song sometimes does, and they started to grow in his own work. The Mushroom Collector combines some of the original flea-market mushroom pictures with his own images and text by the artist about the project.

Download or read book Finding Fulford the Search for the First Battle Of 1066 written by Charles Jones and published by WritersPrintShop. This book was released on 2011 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The battle of Fulford was fought just south of York on 20th September 1066 between the Northern Earls and King Harald Hardrada, leading a Norse army. Harald Hardrada had the trecherous Earl Tostig, the brother of King Harold II, king of England, as his ally. Tostig might have devised the strategy that detained his brother, defending the south coast from the expected invasion from Normandy. But King Harold was already on his way north when the battle took place. Finding Fulford sets out a confident hypothesis for the location, based on the body of evidence and research undertaken to find the first of the three battles of that autumn. The report finds that the literature identifies a location south of York and the geology uniquely points to Germany Beck as the only militarily significant ditch mentioned in several sources as the place of the battle. Modelling the way the landscape has changed since 1066 allows the descriptions provided for the battle, to be tested. The reconstructed surface provides positive feedback for the literature and helps to make more sense of what was written in Norse sources about the course of the battle. The emergence of substantial quantities of ferrous material just south of the Beck, reinforces the claim of Germany Beck as the place of the battle. These notable concentrations of ferrous finds, including, tools, axes and other shaped billets, were co-located with hearth bottoms, slag, charcoal, and tuy res fragments. The shape of the billets suggests a military rather than a civil use. The interpretation provided is of post-battle reprocessing. There was not one centrally organised workshop since the number, and spread of hearths, suggests a 'gold rush', perhaps with each warband processing material. These sites were found to corresponded closely to the assumed area of the fighting and no similar sites were found in the surrounding areas which was also surveyed. It is also suggested that the work was disrupted by the defeat of the Viking invaders at Stamford Bridge, five days after their victory at Fulford. This is an important assumption as it helps explain why so much material was abandoned at Fulford in a pattern that has not yet been found elsewhere. The interrupted-reprocessing hypothesis also explains why other sites of similar antiquity have failed to yield a single weapon fragment. If the recycling work had been completed, only hearth debris would have been found, so the Fulford site might be unique. Almost as important as the evidence that has emerged was that no contra-indicators were found to cast doubt on the proposed site nor were any consistent pointers to another location identified, even though much work was devoted to searching for alternate sites before Germany Beck was identified as the locus. The investigation of the Fulford battlefield was done under some unnecessarily restrictive conditions and a chapter is devoted to work that needs to be undertaken. The evidence suggests that the site still has much to reveal. Alongside the archaeological investigations, the report relates the events of the three battles of 1066 and also provides a detailed narrative of the battle, based on all that has been revealed by the work. The whole style of the work is designed to make it accessible to any interested reader.

Download or read book A Life in Paragraphs written by Robert Fulford and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-17 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A panorama of curiosity, delight and thoughtful analysis. An anthology that takes the reader on an insightful journey through the past in understanding the present. Robert Fulford is arguably Canada's most distinguished journalist, essayist, and liberal thinker of our time. He began his career in 1950 at the Globe and Mail and wrote columns for more than 20 years at The Toronto Star, as well as being the editor for Saturday Night Magazine. Since 1999 his columns appear twice a week in The National Post. He is the author of more than ten books, and he delivered the Massey Lectures in 1984. But some of his best writing, certainly some of the most vibrant, appeared in the Queen's Quarterly from 2004-2014, home to many of Canada's more eloquent and thought-provoking writers for over a century including such luminaries as W.O Mitchell, Sinclair Ross, Mavis Gallant, Carol Shields and Margaret Atwood. Fulford's brilliant anthology is offered here. It is a literary time machine that transports the reader on a passage through events and social commentary with some of the most influential figures of the 20th and 21st centuries. Entertaining, thoughtful, and insightful, Fulford will engage young and old with these short stories and essays - and the timing could not be better. Concerned citizens wrestle with the knowledge that current political discourse has slipped to a level of contempt and rhetoric that treats most as intellectually weak. Today our collective conscience is influenced by art, literature, movies and music while modern philosophy and its stream of consciousness have been discounted or forgotten by many of the leaders amongst us. Robert recognized that the foundations of great societies are built on Ethics and Ethos, Right and Wrong and the concept of the Rule of Law. Ideals espoused by both classical and contemporary philosophers. Fulford taps into his fascination with ancient and 20th-century philosophy and present reasoning as he explores a myriad of subjects in his book. Readers will be entertained as they soon find themselves embarking on a journey of introspection, perspective and fascination with how our world has evolved around us. Significant figures, events and a changing social contract are prominent within these beautiful essays. A Robert Fulford essay is like a crisp dry martini; crystalline, refreshing, elating. An elegant craftsman in full command of the language, his work glows with dazzling insights, a profound humanity and gregarious good humour. The man's a master. - Michael Enright, broadcaster, host of CBC Radio's The Sunday Edition Robert Fulford has often enough been the lonely but eloquent conscience for Canada. His crusading humanity, lean prose and inner steel made a monument of acute insight of his "Notebook" in Saturday Night, and this vivid collection of essays more than reinforces the point. - John Fraser, author of The Chinese and Eminent Canadians If you are lucky enough to spend time with someone who is incorrigibly curious, brainy, mordantly funny, passionate but always, always, companionable, then you know what it's like to savour an essay by Robert Fulford. - Katherine Ashenburg, author of Sofie & Cecilia One thing I really admire about Robert Fulford's essays, apart from their calm erudition and the certainty of their judgement, is the boggling range of subjects he wraps his mind around, everything from television to the tango, from H.G. Wells's sexual affairs to parataxis in the King James Bible. - Ian Brown, columnist for the Globe and Mail, author of The Boy in the Moon and Man Overboard.
