Download or read book SAGUS Vol 3 Oxford to Liverpool 1918 1930 written by Kitty Martin and published by Graham M Thomas. This book was released on 2015-04-03 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SAGUS the biography of a family, a potentially never ending series of volumes that covers my life, my families life and my descendants life. I say potentially because the continuation by my descendants does of course depend upon their willingness to become embroiled in the task. I may be the end of the line. SAGUS is everything and anything: diaries, essays, books proper, notes, jottings, photo albums, long and short-form. Almost all of SAGUS is taken from contemporary writings; all the photographs were taken by me or my family. Most of the other images are from items in our possession. This is a true record rather than relying on faulty and revisionist memory, or items imported in an attempt to recreate a period. In short it is reality: for good or bad and as comprehensive or incomplete as it may be. SAGUS 3 describes the Thomas’s family life, first in Oxford and then in Liverpool during the 1920s.
Download or read book SAGUS Vo1 11 written by Graham M Thomas and published by SAGUS. This book was released on 2016-11-10 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SAGUS is a series of books that document a life, a life that proceeded it and a life thereafter. Each volume covers a period of time or an event and they run chronologically. The uniqueness of the series is that it uses as contemporaneous records, diaries, notes, images, books, archives and photographs most of which belong to the author and his family. In other words the volumes are the closest that can be achieved to real-time testimony with a true record and insight to the times. There is no rewriting of history and hence they avoid this deficiency of most memoirs. Well almost because even when the basis of the writing is a diary, it is of course one person’s view and interpretation of an event. We all look at the same thing in slightly different ways, see some things but not others. SAGUS Vol 11 covers a single academic year running from 1969 through until the summer of 1970.

Download or read book Island Legacy written by Alan Howard and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of the people from Rotuma Island (Fiji) from legendary times (based on oral history, archaeological, and linguistic evidence), through the era of British colonial domination, until the end of the twentieth century. The book is divided into four sections. The first section presents information about Rotuma's geography; its early history as derived from myths, legends, language affinities, and the limited archaeological work done on the island; the nature of Rotuma's culture and society at the time of European intrusion in the early nineteenth century; and the forms of creative and artistic expression. The second section deals with the impact of explorers, whalers, beachcombers, and returning Rotuman sailors, as well as missionaries who visited or stayed on Rotuma for varying lengths of time. The time period covered by this section is from 1791, when the Pandora, captained by Edward Edwards, made a brief visit, to 1879, when a war between Methodist and Catholic factions culminated in an offer of cession to Great Britain. Section three provides an account of Rotuma's colonial experience, beginning with the events leading to cession; the shape of political and economic experience under colonial rule; and the health and welfare implications of colonial policies. The final section covers the Rotuman experience from the time Fiji gained independence from Great Britain in 1970 until the end of the twentieth century. This section begins with an account of changes on the island of Rotuma, followed by a consideration of the somewhat problematic relationship between Rotuma and Fiji, concluding with a look at the global Rotuman community - a community in the process of formation.
Download or read book The Power of Culture written by Priscilla Roberts and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-01-14 with total page 603 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China and the United States, two massive economic and military powers, cannot avoid engaging with each other. Enjoying what is often termed “the most important bilateral relationship in the world”, the two sometimes cooperate, but often compete, as their interests come into conflict. Both countries are separated not just by the Pacific Ocean, but also by their very different histories, experiences, societies, customs, and outlooks. Non-governmental, unofficial relationships and exchanges are often as important as formal dealings in determining the climate of Sino-American relations. For several decades in the mid-twentieth century, Chinese and Americans were virtually isolated from each other, trapped in icy hostility. Chinese scholars are now making up for lost time. This assortment of essays, most by mainland Chinese academics and students, focuses upon the role of culture – very broadly defined – in Sino-American affairs. Taking a holistic approach, in this collection over thirty authors focus on such topics as the influence of ideology, the impact of geopolitics, the use of rhetoric, soft power, educational encounters and exchanges, immigration, gender, race, identity, literature, television, movies, music, and the press. Cultural factors are, as the authors demonstrate, enormously significant in affecting how Chinese and Americans think about and approach each other, both as individuals and at the state level.

Download or read book Brunswick and Topsham written by Joyce K. Bibber and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 1994-12-01 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the development of photography in the mid-nineteenth century, the camera has been used as a tool of both discovery and preservation. Photographs bring alive our picture of the past and can open a floodgate of memories and nostalgia or inspire curiosity and a sense of history. Both joined and separated by the Androscoggin River, Brunswick and Topsham were carved from the same land grant in 1715. Despite their proximity, the towns developed separate identities: Brunswick became a manufacturing, commercial, and educational center, while Topsham combined its farms with factories. This fascinating pictorial history illuminates the daily lives of the residents of the two towns, and reveals how life has changed over the past 120 years.

Download or read book The Great Supper written by Ashbel Green Fairchild and published by . This book was released on 1847 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the "great supper" in Luke 14:16-24 is one of the most instructive of all the parables. It was originally spoken by Christ with special reference to the Jews, and represented their rejection of the Gospel and the subsequent calling of the Gentiles. But it also teaches us what God has done and is still doing in pursuance of His gracious designs in regard to this guilty and perishing world. As such, this parable provides a clear and beautiful illustration of the so-called "doctrines of grace," more commonly known as "Calvinism."--Http://www.solafidepublishers.com.
