Nor would they have predicted that this journey, and their son, Davey, would ultimately challenge their very sense of reality. "At one level, this story portrays the fascinating historic competition for first flight. At a deeper level, it is a story of the struggle of two parents to cope with their own ambitions and especially their child's extraordinary psychic sensitivity".--Dr. Theresa Abrams, Ph.D.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a change headed for this planet, and it involves more than just humanity. It's coming like a tidal wave, to wash us into a new way of living - a better, kinder, more loving era. This change goes by many names, but one thing is certain: what's about to happen is unprecedented. And it would be difficult or even impossible for humanity to make this transition alone. In fact, we have failed many times in the past, with cataclysmic results. However, this time, thousands of beings or more, living in other dimensions of time and space and on other planets, have come to help us. This book is about Beth's personal contact with one such extraterrestrial individual, Martha, who reached out, offering her personal assistance. Martha has done this to help awaken humanity. It's time we humans learned the truth about our place among extraterrestrials and angels.
Download or read book Apostle to the Inuit written by Edmund James Peck and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apostle to the Inuit presents the journals and ethnographical notes of Reverend Edmund James Peck, an Anglican missionary who opened the first mission among the Inuit of Baffin Island in 1894. He stayed until 1905, and by that time, had firmly established Christianity in the North. He became known to the Inuit as 'Uqammaq,' the one who talks well. His colleagues knew him as 'Apostle among the Eskimo.' Peck's diaries of the period focus on his missionary work and the adoption of Christianity by the Inuit and provide an impressive account of the daily life and work of the early missionaries in Baffin Island. His ethnographic data was collected at the request of famed anthropologist Franz Boas in 1897. Peck conducted extensive research on Inuit oral traditions and presents several detailed verbatim accounts of shamanic traditions and practises. This work continues to be of great value for a better understanding of Inuit culture and history but was never before published. Apostle to the Inuit demonstrates how a Christian missionary who was bitterly opposed to shamanism, became a devoted researcher of this complex tradition. Editors Frédéric Laugrand, Jarich Oosten, and François Trudel highlight the relationships between Europeans and Inuit and discuss central issues facing native peoples and missionaries in the North. They also present a selection of fascinating drawings made by Inuit at the request of Peck, which illustrate Inuit life on Baffin Island at the turn of the twentieth century. The book offers important new data on the history of the missions among the Inuit as well as on the history of Inuit religion and the anthropological study of Inuit oral traditions.

Book excerpt: A critical biography of the great modernist editor and novelist. Ford Madox Ford (1873–1939) lived among several of the most important artists and writers of his time. Raised by Pre-Raphaelites and friends with Henry James, H. G. Wells, and Joseph Conrad, Ford was a leading figure of the avant-garde in pre-WWI London, responsible for publishing Ezra Pound, Wyndham Lewis, and D. H. Lawrence. After the war, he moved to Paris, published Gertrude Stein, and discovered Ernest Hemingway. A prolific writer in his own right, Ford wrote the modernist triumph The Good Soldier (1915) as well as one of the finest war stories in English, the Parade’s End tetralogy (1924–1928). Drawing on newly discovered letters and photographs, this critical biography further demonstrates Ford’s vital contribution to modern fiction, poetry, and criticism.
