Download or read book Diamond Jubilee at Riverside written by Garland Ladd and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2001-05-15 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A southern Protestant church is rudely thrust into a traumatic upheaval by an audacious crime perpetrated on the entire congregation. Resolution of this crime required ingenuity, courage and trust - - traits that only a cadre of its members possessed - - and that pocket of faithful resistance rose to defend against evil forces. Thankfully, pockets of courage still exist in the real world dominated by primordial evil; without pockets of love and spiritual soundness, chaos would run rampant and the Devil would have his way. Everyone who has been active in a church will quickly recognize the human frailty of some characters in this story. They will also be able to relate to those characters that have courage and an indomitable spirit. Undoubtedly, readers will be able to project names and faces from his or her own church to this storys main characters; the author did. Diamond Jubilee At Riverside illustrates opposing forces at work in a church setting as it deals with spiritual malaise that is exacerbated by external evil forces. This requires references to dogma and soul survival, which are cornerstones of religious sects. After reading this story, an ordained minister asked the author, How were you able to get into the head of a typical minister, and accurately describe church life from that perspective? The answer is obvious. All church members are ministers in a way, and as such, should be faithful pockets of resistance to the Devil. Diamond Jubilee At Riverside is a fictional story about one pocket of believers that fought evil and won.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is June, 1897, the eve of the greatest celebration in the history of London-the Diamond Jubilee of Her Royal Highness Victoria, Queen of the United Kingdom and Empress of India. At 221B Baker Street, happy anticipation of the event is shattered when an alarmed Samuel Clemens bursts in and informs Holmes and Watson that his life is threatened by a bizarre international conspiracy. Holmes, Watson, and Clemens spend the frantic final days before the Jubilee discovering that the conspiracy is much worse than Clemens imagined. The very fate of the Empire is at stake. Replete with the trademark Holmesian insights and London underworld adventuring, Diamond Jubilee features a host of London characters, including a brilliant London "crime queen," Prime Minister Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, Mycroft Holmes, Scotland Yard's best and worst, the Baker Street Irregulars (themselves infiltrated by unknown sinister elements), and thousands of the most appalling rats.

Download or read book Souvenirs from the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria written by Richard and Susan Wales and published by Author House. This book was released on 2012-12-13 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A flavour of this book ... This small disk is called Carmichael’s Amulet and it commemorates the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria by the dates 1837 and 1897. These are the dates of her 60 years reign. To the right can be seen a mould that is carved from wood. It seems to have been professionally made in a large block that is well finished and furnished with a hook for hanging up. The mould may have produced butter pats or terrines for a Victorian celebration. As well as the Diamond Jubilee dates it commemorates the Record Reign that Queen Victoria had achieved in 1896 after being monarch for longer than George III. These images were taken by the authors as this book was being written and so they do not appear in the text which summarises an enormous variety of Diamond Jubilee souvenirs. Inside you will find a unique view of Victoriana that was made to celebrate one event at the height of the powers of the British Empire. The souvenirs will give you a glimpse into Victorian creative ingenuity as well as the thinking and beliefs of people in 1897.

Download or read book Victorian Jamaica written by Tim Barringer and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2018-04-19 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Victorian Jamaica explores the extraordinary surviving archive of visual representation and material objects to provide a comprehensive account of Jamaican society during Queen Victoria's reign over the British Empire, from 1837 to 1901. In their analyses of material ranging from photographs of plantation laborers and landscape paintings to cricket team photographs, furniture, and architecture, as well as a wide range of texts, the contributors trace the relationship between black Jamaicans and colonial institutions; contextualize race within ritual and performance; and outline how material and visual culture helped shape the complex politics of colonial society. By narrating Victorian history from a Caribbean perspective, this richly illustrated volume—featuring 270 full-color images—offers a complex and nuanced portrait of Jamaica that expands our understanding of the wider history of the British Empire and Atlantic world during this period.

Download or read book San Francisco Art Deco written by Michael F. Crowe and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The famed period of architecture, design, and style known as Art Deco began in the mid1920s and lasted for a good 20 years. The movement left an indelible stamp all around the Bay Area but nowhere more so than in styleconscious San Francisco. The city's 1925 Diamond Jubilee, coinciding with the Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes in France, ushered in the Art Deco age to the city by the bay. The Roaring Twenties created a need for thousands of new commercial and residential buildings, and many of these, such as Timothy Pflueger's Pacific Telephone and Telegraph building, were Art Deco masterpieces that embodied the new "moderne" styling sweeping the country. Using a variety of building materials, including terracotta, Vitrolux, and neon, many of the city's graceful and dramatic buildings turned heads 70 years ago just as they do today.
