Download or read book The Readies written by Bob Brown and published by . This book was released on 2015-02-13 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1930, Bob Brown predicted that the printed book was bound for obsolescence. The time has come, he insisted, to rid the reader of the cumbersome book. He invented a machine that would allow one to read books and any text extremely fast and in a hyper abbreviated form. He called these abbreviated texts, with em dashes replacing words: readies. He envisioned sending the condensed texts through wireless networks. The Readies, describes these eponymously named abbreviated texts and his plans for a reading machine, but since he printed only 150 copies, the volume is practically unknown outside of a small circle of scholars. With this new edition, Craig Saper hopes to introduce Bob Brown's Roving Eye Press books to a new generation of readers.

Book excerpt: Take a journey with the artist and writer Petar Meseldzija, who tells how he was allowed unparalleled access through the Invisible Curtain and into the land of giants. A year in the making, this book's sixteen paintings and nearly ninety drawings bring to life Petar's experiences on this journey and secrets uncovered, going back to ancient times. He shares stories of new discoveries that free giants from the murky abyss of myth and a forgotten past. Told in three stages, The Book of Giants includes the illustrated stories The Giants Are Coming, recounting a dynamic clash that lasted one hundred years; The Little Kingdom, where a giant befriends a nation of humans and becomes their adamant protector against ferocious invaders; The Northern Giants, who embrace the warrior spirit through countless battles; Giant Velles, the story of ignorance and how the strength of goodness perseveres; and The Great Forest, wherein the author discovers little creatures called the keppetz and relates his experiences spent with ogres while on his quest to meet the Golden One and to determine the purpose of his journey. Through the strength of his own power, he discovers his blessings, his limitations and finally his personal myth. Furthermore, you will discover why giants made a push into the underground, followed by their exodus and deliverance to a new land. You'll also learn why the myth of giants is still alive, why their time spent with humans remains elusive and why giants prefer to remain hidden in their world. Join Petar Meseldzija on his journey of discovery.

Download or read book Reading and Writing in the Time of Jesus written by Allan Millard and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2005-04-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus never wrote a book. Most scholars assume that information about Jesus was preserved only orally up until the writing of the Gospels, allowing ample time for the stories of Jesus to grow and diversify. Alan Millard here argues that written reports about Jesus could have been made during his lifetime and that some among his audiences and followers may very well have kept notes, first-hand documents that the Evangelists could weave into their narratives.
Download or read book The Three Escapes of Hannah Arendt written by Ken Krimstein and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2018-09-25 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Bernard J. Brommel Award for Biography & Memoir Best Graphic Novels of the Year-Forbes Jewish Book Award Finalist Finalist for the Chautauqua Prize For Persepolis and Logicomix fans, a New Yorker cartoonist's page-turning graphic biography of the fascinating Hannah Arendt, the most prominent philosopher of the twentieth century. One of the greatest philosophers of the twentieth century and a hero of political thought, the largely unsung and often misunderstood Hannah Arendt is best known for her landmark 1951 book on openness in political life, The Origins of Totalitarianism, which, with its powerful and timely lessons for today, has become newly relevant. She led an extraordinary life. This was a woman who endured Nazi persecution firsthand, survived harrowing "escapes" from country to country in Europe, and befriended such luminaries as Walter Benjamin and Mary McCarthy, in a world inhabited by everyone from Marc Chagall and Marlene Dietrich to Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud. A woman who finally had to give up her unique genius for philosophy, and her love of a very compromised man - the philosopher and Nazi-sympathizer Martin Heidegger - for what she called "love of the world." Compassionate and enlightening, playful and page-turning, New Yorker cartoonist Ken Krimstein's The Three Escapes of Hannah Arendt is a strikingly illustrated portrait of a complex, controversial, deeply flawed, and irrefutably courageous woman whose intelligence and "virulent truth telling" led her to breathtaking insights into the human condition, and whose experience continues to shine a light on how to live as an individual and a public citizen in troubled times.
Download or read book The Agglomerate written by Bob Avis and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-08-05 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four months after the sudden death of his wife Karen, Rick Hunter still harbors resentment toward God in particular and Christianity in general. All the questions that bothered him about the life of Christ and how the Christian churches accumulated, selected, and dispersed that information resurfaced. He has always felt that the church forced their version on the people, but Karen’s faith and his love for her suppressed those thoughts. He leaves his successful family-owned financial business to link up with virtually unknown archeologists Ron Conner and LB, seeking proof that God exists. An old British sea captain completes the core team. Ron has exceptional wealth and amazing competitors. Rick joins the team, moving to a South American dig site near the boundaries of Venezuela, Guyana, and Brazil, where they discover two important artifacts. Then Ron obtains an ancient scroll from Magdala, Israel, that leads them to a dangerous underwater excavation off Santorini Island, Greece. The artifact found off Santorini splits the team. LB and Rick are sent to Ephesus, Turkey, while Ron and the captain travel to Liangzhu, China. LB and Rick find the Ephesus Stone and encounter a most unusual girl in the House of the Virgin Mary. The girl directs them to Abydos, Egypt, where she disappears, and then the Ephesus Stone is stolen. Four people are murdered as they pursue the stone in Cairo, Luxor, and Saqqâra. Next, they have to run for their lives through the streets of Cairo before recovering the stone and rejoining the rest of the team in China, where a meeting of competitors and other interested people gather to view the artifacts and their undecipherable writings. Subsequently, the artifacts are transformed into The Agglomerate with a clear message to all. Universal demand to scrutinize The Agglomerate is immense. Rick’s only trip accompanying the icon is to Erio, the most feared planet in this part of the Milky Way galaxy. This is done at the personal request of Lanth, who is the only known person from Erio. An attempt to detain LB, Rick, and The Agglomerate is averted at the last second. However, unintentionally they leave the impression that Rick must have a very special relationship with God. As The Agglomerate makes its way through the galaxy to various civilizations that are pondering the question of God’s existence, it’s apparent that some things may never change. Many are convinced The Agglomerate proves God’s presence while others believe it is a fraud. Other books by the author are the following: The Coalition, Gone, and Stringer 969.

Download or read book Scribes and Scrolls at Qumran written by Sidnie White Crawford and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2019-07-02 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls altered our understanding of the development of the biblical text, the history and literature of Second Temple Judaism, and the thought of the early Christian community. Questions continue to surround the relationship between the caves in which the scrolls were found and the nearby settlement at Khirbet Qumran. In Scribes and Scrolls at Qumran, Sidnie White Crawford combines the conclusions of the first generation of scrolls scholars that have withstood the test of time, new insights that have emerged since the complete publication of the scrolls corpus, and the much more complete archaeological picture that we now have of Khirbet Qumran. She creates a new synthesis of text and archaeology that yields a convincing history of and purpose for the Qumran settlement and its associated caves.

Download or read book Buried Ideas written by Sarah Allan and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2015-10-21 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The discovery of previously unknown philosophical texts from the Axial Age is revolutionizing our understanding of Chinese intellectual history. Buried Ideas presents and discusses four texts found on brush-written slips of bamboo and their seemingly unprecedented political philosophy. Written in the regional script of Chu during the Warring States period (475–221 BCE), all of the works discuss Yao's abdication to Shun and are related to but differ significantly from the core texts of the classical period, such as the Mencius and Zhuangzi. Notably, these works evince an unusually meritocratic stance, and two even advocate abdication over hereditary succession as a political ideal. Sarah Allan includes full English translations and her own modern-character editions of the four works examined: Tang Yú zhi dao, Zigao, Rongchengshi, and Bao xun. In addition, she provides an introduction to Chu-script bamboo-slip manuscripts and the complex issues inherent in deciphering them.
