Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The False Face of Evil is fiction inspired by a true story. It is a story of privilege, class, wealth romance, and of obsession, and tragedy. It begins in exciting New York City in 1950, a more innocent time, with its skyscrapers and bright lights illuminating the city at night to its historic landmarks and nightclubs and the rich and famous. From Manhattan's high society, penthouses, and Southampton mansions to Fort Bragg Army Base in North Carolina, through a journey to the deep, dark trenches of South Vietnam. It spans twenty-five years to the turbulent end of the Vietnam War in 1975. Clarissa Kimberly Wagner, beautiful and talented, is a university graduate who moves to New York City to pursue her dream as a Radio City Rockette Dancer. As Clarissa's career takes off, she meets David Stephens, a scion from a wealthy and political family. She gives up her career to become a wife and mother. After almost fifteen years, David decides he does not want to be married anymore, and they divorce. Clarissa moves with their teenage daughter back to her hometown where she volunteers at Fort Bragg Army Base in North Carolina. She meets Major General Scott Morgan, and her life goes in a different direction, as they fall in love and get marry.

Download or read book The Death and Rebirth of the Seneca written by Anthony Wallace and published by Vintage. This book was released on 1972-04-12 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: in this book, an award-winning anthropologist tells the story of the late colonial and early reservation history of the Seneca Indians, and of the prophet Handsome Lake and the revitalization of an American Indian society that he and his followers achieved in the years around 1800. "Here is a carefully crafted masterpiece of anthropological and historical investigation. It is about both the specific renaissance of the Seneca and the possible renaissance of any people. On its specific subject matter, it will probably remain the definitive study for a long time."—Christian Science Monitor "Until this volume, there has been no single book written that relates the history and life style of one of the Iroquois peoples with the encompassing depth and breadth of knowledge, clarity, and interest that the subject deserves. Finally, this book does it for the Seneca. It is enthralling history, told in a knowledgeable, highly readable way."—Alvin M. Joseph Jr., author of The Indian Heritage of America "This book is at once troubling and richly textured; for it draws skillfully and impartially on the resources of history, ethnology and psychology to chronicle the agony and decline of one of the proudest of American Indian peoples."—Morris Opler

Under his leadership they created a peaceful democracy among five tribes of Native peoples in the northeastern woodlands. This story has inspired American leaders from Benjamin Franklin to the present-day occupants of the White House, and is shown by Houston to be a potent guide to personal transformation and to the visioning of a peaceful world.

Download or read book The Mind of Consciousness written by Ray Morose and published by Books by Ray Morose. This book was released on 2011 with total page 563 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mind of Consciousness The Mind of Consciousness is a book unfolding a new way, with new process methods to evaluate your existence. It is an experiential work written in textbook format that analytically delineates how and why consciousness and mind interface and function, exposing the inter-connective dependency of non-biological consciousness and the biologically created mind. Knowing how that interconnectivity interrelates provides avenues of exploration that reveal the fundamental nature of existence, unveiling an innate purpose and direction embedded within consciousness. This book works through all the major questions of existence, using reproducible and experiential logic, allowing everyone to experience the results of that exploration. Throughout your life you have two realities at war with one another: the primary ‘I am’ reality, formed from non-biological consciousness, and the secondary ‘I am this or that’ reality, formed by the biological mind. You may not be aware of, or even appreciate, the internal conflict these two inter-connective and inter-dependent realities create. However, you experience the resultant turmoil and confusion their subliminal battles establish by not having an experiential appreciation of how those realities are formed, function and potentially control your life. The text delineates causation for those ongoing internal battles and outlines processes to help overcome the sense of frustration, isolation and discord they generate. This experiential method of examination creates empirical processes that afford you the opportunity to make an informed choice, rather than a conditioned reaction: providing a more secure, productive, directional and enjoyable life. This book takes you into the core of your being, turning it inside out, exposing who and what you are by revealing a self-created shadow-world controlling your life without you being aware that control exists.

All but Jumping Badger, the most powerful war leader of the Bear People. He destroys an entire village to take the boy to use as a spiritual weapon. But his triumph is short-lived.

Twelve-year-old Wren befriends him and together they escape across the winter landscape of New York and Ontario with Jumping Badger close behind. He now fears the boy's power and seeks to kill him.

Download or read book Pessimism in Kant s Ethics and Rational Religion written by Dennis Vanden Auweele and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2018-11-05 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The historical period of the Enlightenment is usually thought of as the high point of philosophical optimism. By breaking the chains of traditional heteronomous morality, the tutelage of dogmatic religion and the oppression of authoritarian politics, the Enlightenment created the space for a new, self-critical and autonomous frame of reference for human effort. Immanuel Kant is undoubtedly the greatest philosopher in the German Enlightenment. And Kant was a pessimist? In this book, the author explores Kant’s moral and religious philosophy and shows that a pessimistic undercurrent pervades these. This provides a new vantage point not only to assess comprehensively Kantian philosophy but also to provide much needed context and reading assistance to the general premises of Kant’s philosophy of autonomy and rationality. For Kant, to be autonomous and rational is not something human nature naturally pursues; instead, reason but must reframe, rethink and reshape human nature. Human nature is a problem, autonomy and rationality are the solution. Kant’s subsequent attempts to establish a rational religion can be explained in extension of this problem. Since human beings are not naturally prone to act autonomously, they have to be educated through historical institutions that are reformed appropriately so as to provide the incentives for human beings to become autonomous. This is where Kant believed religion could play an important pedagogical function.
