Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Father of St. Kilda: Twenty Years in Isolation in the Sub-Arctic Territory of the Hudson's Bay Company IT was said long ago, that of the making of books there is no end. I, too, wisely or unwisely, have made a book. In the fag-end of a weary century we have attained to the prosaic faculty of being able to measure sunshine, weigh winds, and analyse stars, yet the primitive instincts of humanity are still unconquered, still unconquerable. A sun worshipper by nature and early training, I have loved dearly a life in the open air. Is it then folly, ignorance, or presumption that tempts me to become an author? My audacity stares me in the face. Yet one must accomplish something, says Goethe, nay, fail in something, to learn to know one's own capacities and those of others. We discover an unsuspected vein in us, only in beginning to work it. And so work grows out of faith, and it takes both to make a man. It is by toil alone that we arrive at our true selves. Only by polishing do we reach the peculium of a diamond - its light-giving faculty; and only by the same process do we discover the hidden powers of a man, his peculiar office and function in the world, which none other can exactly fill.

Download or read book Between Light and Storm written by Esther Woolfson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-12-06 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A landmark examination of the fraught relationship between humans and animals, taking the reader from Genesis to climate change. Beginning with the very origins of life on Earth, Woolfson considers prehistoric human-animal interaction and traces the millennia-long evolution of conceptions of the soul and conscience in relation to the animal kingdom, and the consequences of our belief in human superiority. She explores our representation of animals in art, our consumption of them for food, our experiments on them for science, and our willingness to slaughter them for sport and fashion, as well as examining concepts of love and ownership. Drawing on philosophy and theology, art and history, as well as her own experience of living with animals and coming to know, love, and respect them as individuals, Woolfson examines some of the most complex ethical issues surrounding our treatment of animals and argues passionately and persuasively for a more humble, more humane, relationship with the creatures who share our world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than two thousand years the people of St Kilda remained remote from the world.
