This book celebrates this important artistic expression, a significant part of our heritage. Pieces are selected from communities across Canada: from a small parish on a Micmac reserve in Nova Scotia to a large urban synagogue in Vancouver; from the igloo-shaped cathedral in Iqaluit to a suburban church nestled beside a wildlife march in southwestern Ontario.
Download or read book The Gate The True Story of the Design and Construction of the Golden Gate Bridge written by John van der Zee and published by Plunkett Lake Press. This book was released on 2024-03-30 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “John van der Zee has... mastered the technical details of [his] subject... [he has] used [his] talents as writer... to narrate not only the technical but also the human drama involved in bringing the concept of a great bridge to fruition. Engineering projects necessarily involve a large cast of characters, and van der Zee has portrayed his as deftly as a novelist might. The engineers in this book come alive as people, with all the faults and foibles associated with the human species. The story of the Golden Gate Bridge is principally the story of its chief engineer, Joseph Strauss, and he is both hero and villain of the piece... Strauss claimed he could build a bridge for under $25 million, and in 1921 produced an ungainly design that was priced at $17 million. The next lowest estimate was still four or five times as high... How Strauss’s ugly duckling evolved into the beautiful Golden Gate Bridge is a fascinating tale. It is complete with revelations about how Charles Ellis, a classics scholar and self-taught bridge engineer, really translated Strauss’s conceptual design into an engineering reality. The falling out between Strauss and Ellis, resulting in the latter being denied any official credit for his work on the bridge, was true tragedy... the history of the bridge itself... is a case study of personal and technological adventure bordering on hubris... John van der Zee has captured all of this in a fascinating book that shows that the best of cutting-edge engineering is much, much more than science and technology.” — Nature “John van der Zee tells the story of the [Golden Gate Bridge’s] creation, and while its realization was a complicated act of finance, politics and architecture, it was, above all, a masterpiece of engineering. Until The Gate... the authorship of its structural design was obscured by the practice — still common among many design firms — of attributing credit to the head of the firm responsible for the project... Joseph Strauss... But the book — organized like a whodunit — reveals that neither Strauss nor the famous New York engineers who worked as consultants really engineered the bridge... The book is not only a tribute to what the author calls ‘a democratic masterpiece.’ It also sets the record straight: it was Ellis who did it.“ — The New York Times “[A]n impressively researched, carefully crafted biography of the [Golden Gate] bridge and the ambitious men who built it. Two strong personalities dominate this tale: Michael O’Shaughnessy, City Engineer of S.F. who rebuilt the city after the earthquake of 1912 and who long dreamed of bridging the Golden Gate, and Joseph Strauss, the ambitious engineer who designed the standard form of drawbridge. In a propaganda struggle that lasted for more than a decade and which is presented in all its fascinating minutiae by van der Zee, the two slowly persuaded the city that a Golden Gate bridge was feasible mechanically and financially... van der Zee re-creates the grueling, Herculean task of construction... does a commendable job of vivifying the story of the bridge.” — Kirkus

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Would you embrace darkness to save your child? House Dobromil has stood against the emperor since the beginning. For generations, they have defied tyrannical edicts and stood up for donai and humans. For decades, war has crept ever closer and now, Syteria, a rebellious human woman Darien has chosen to be his future queen may be the spark that sets the Imperium to flame. When Syteria crosses paths with the emperor’s agents, the unthinkable happens. With the survival of both races in peril, with the future of House Dobromil on the line, the stakes for Darien and Syteria are higher than ever. Driven by death and betrayal, victory and defeat, tragedy and secrets, can Syteria and Darien ascend to fulfill their destinies? Ravages of Honor: Ascension picks up right after the end of Ravages of Honor: Conquest. While it can be read as a standalone (it is a complete story with its own beginning, middle, and end), it was meant to be read in sequence. The Ravages of Honor series is a galactic empire space opera with romantic elements, genetic engineering, nanotechnology, and swords.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Worship in today's mainline churches is changing faster than many ministry leaders would like, yet not fast enough to satisfy many laypeople who want to experience something fresh when they attend worship. While older members may resist losing valued traditions, younger people often want things done in new ways. Worship Innovations: Hanging The Greens For Christmas finds a middle ground with new approaches to valued traditions of holiday worship. Beginning with a step-by-step guide for initiating a "Hanging the Greens" celebration, Janet Burton offers nine creative, easy-to-produce programs in which all ages of the church family can participate in the process of decorating worship areas for the Advent and Christmas seasons. She also includes five plans for breathing new life into using the Advent wreath. Best of all, these practical ideas are very flexible and easily adapted to fit the worship style of almost any congregation. It's a perfect way to usher in the holiday season and prepare for the birth of the Savior! In this sage book, Janet Burton gives an exhaustive study and ideas for any church to make Hanging of the Greens a worshipful, meaningful experience. It is chock-full of biblical insights. Dr. W.E. (Bill) Thorn Nationally known pastor, evangelist, speaker, and humorist The reader will be immediately caught up in Janet Burton's enthusiasm for her subject. You'll find yourself -- as I did -- caught up in Hanging The Greens For Christmas as an excellent option for innovative worship. I am impressed with the variety of approaches... each program is fresh and innovative.
