Download or read book A Surgeon s Story written by Roger Gosden and published by . This book was released on 2013-09 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of a renowned New York doctor, Robert T. Morris (1857-1945), who struggled with a reactionary profession to pioneer sterility, small incisions, and better wound-healing in surgery. Blessed with abundant energy, sagacity, and long life, he also achieved distinction as a naturalist, horticulturist, and explorer, celebrating nature with brilliant prose and poetry. For those days, Morris was a rare visionary, grounded in science and courageously fighting on the side of suffering humanity, though few remember him today. This is an updated edition of a 1935 classic, brimming with case histories starting from the late Victorian Age. The new book is annotated and illustrated, and includes previously unpublished chapters. "A man who had the courage to be an iconoclast for the purpose of safe-guarding humanity." New York Times (1935) "This is not a textbook but an arresting account of medicine and society in the not too distant past." Howard W. Jones, Jr., M.D., Johns Hopkins and Eastern Virginia Medical Schools (2013) "In 1935, Morris' book was a best-seller; this revision from Gosden and Walker (Morris' granddaughter) could easily do the same ... Far more of a human and social portrait than a medical text, this reissue fills the prescription for fascinating reading." Kirkus (September 16, 2014)
Download or read book Nature s Testament written by Diane Hobelaid and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2024-10-24 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rising rays pierce fir and cedar shadows, illuminating diamond-dewed webs strung like laundry from fragile twig to twig. ... Rivulets of yellow rippling down the ever-greenèd slopes, and round each outcrop, burning bushes signal we’re on holy ground. Molten glass reflecting rock and slopes of autumn glory, silent, still, ‘til broken by a dipping paddle stroke. And we, gliding through reflected glory, learn that heaven may be paddling in the sky. Life is messy, filled with struggle as well as joy, yet we can see the fingerprints of a Creator everywhere if we have our senses and imaginations open to perceive them. God's presence is woven in and through the questions we all live with and in the moments in nature that take our breath away. The poems in Nature’s Testament celebrate this presence in everything from canoe trips to soul-searching enquiries into Biblical stories to the challenges and sometimes sheer silliness of daily 21st-century life. Illustrated throughout with full-colour photographs, it is a tribute to the sacred, to both serious and light-hearted searches for meaning, and life in all its messy, difficult splendour. Just a little jaunt across the lake, your sleeping form a reassuring presence in my stern. A peaceful respite— but suddenly the wind and waves whip death and loss to come. The clouds press in. My boat founders as I cry out to you to save me! Yet you are not afraid, Lord of the Universe. Your word brought forth the sea and all that dwells within, and peace for sailors, wet, while I wail in my soggy, sodden boots.

Download or read book Reading Public Romanticism written by Paul Magnuson and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading Public Romanticism is a significant new example of the linking of esthetics and historical criticism. Here Paul Magnuson locates Romantic poetry within a public discourse that combines politics and esthetics, nationalism and domesticity, sexuality and morality, law and legitimacy. Building on his well-regarded previous work, Magnuson practices a methodology of close historical reading by identifying precise versions of poems, reading their rhetoric of allusion and quotation in the contexts of their original publication, and describing their public genres, such as the letter. He studies the author's public signature or motto, the forms and significance of address used in poems, and the resonances of poetic language and tropes in the public debates. According to Magnuson, "reading locations" means reading the writing that surrounds a poem, the "paratext" or "frame" of the esthetic boundary. In their particular locations in the public discourse, romantic poems are illocutionary speech acts that take a stand on public issues and legitimate their authors both as public characters and as writers. He traces the public significance of canonical poems commonly considered as lyrics with little explicit social or political commentary, including Wordsworth's "Immortality Ode"; Coleridge's "This Lime-Tree Bower My Prison," "Frost at Midnight," and "The Ancient Mariner"; and Keats's "On a Grecian Urn." He also positions Byron's Dedication to Don Juan in the debates over Southey's laureateship and claims for poetic authority and legitimacy. Reading Public Romanticism is a thoughtful and revealing work. Originally published in 1998. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
Download or read book Humanity s Grace written by Dede Montgomery and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Salty air, low lying clouds, and crooning of seagulls near the towering Astoria Column and the flowing Columbia River set the scene for Humanity's Grace, a collection of linked short stories. Frank, Anne, Monica, and Sarah all reappear from the pages of Montgomery's novel, Beyond the Ripples. New characters: An elderly mother and her son, a police office and spouse, a childhood friend, a counselor, a bystander appear, are all uniquely connected to a murder in downtown Astoria, Oregon. Frank's untimely death creates a spectrum of consequences for his loved ones, acquaintances, and strangers. The ensuing murder accusation throws a trio of characters into darkness, as they reassess earlier beliefs, past decisions and actions. Other characters are impacted in unique and unexpected ways. A police officer is haunted by his past. A young woman awakens from a vivid dream of a friend from before. A mother wonders what she did wrong. A son aches for others to be kind. A daughter questions her father's past, while her mother remembers parts of the man she had forgotten. A stranger ponders the significance of a message she's received. The characters in Humanity's Grace intertwine as they laugh, scream, and cry, do good or create evil. Most of all, they meander through sorrow and sadness, joy and regret, as they remind the reader of the startling and collective beauty of life's connections.

Download or read book Reconfiguring the Natures of Childhood written by Affrica Taylor and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this fascinating new book, Affrica Taylor encourages an exciting paradigmatic shift in the ways in which childhood and nature are conceived and pedagogically deployed, and invites readers to critically reassess the naturalist childhood discourses that are rife within popular culture and early years education. Through adopting a common worlds framework, Reconfiguring the Natures of Childhood generates a number of complex and inclusive ways of seeing and representing the early years. It recasts childhood as: messy and implicated rather than pure and innocent; situated and differentiated rather than decontextualized and universal; entangled within real world relations rather than protected in a separate space. Throughout the book, the author follows an intelligent and innovative line of thought which challenges many pre-existing ideas about childhood. Drawing upon cross-disciplinary perspectives, and with international relevance, this book makes an important contribution to the field of childhood studies and early childhood education, and will be a valuable resource for scholars, postgraduate students and higher education teachers.

Download or read book Bodily Natures written by Stacy Alaimo and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2010-10-25 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we understand the agency and significance of material forces and their interface with human bodies? What does it mean to be human in these times, with bodies that are inextricably interconnected with our physical world? Bodily Natures considers these questions by grappling with powerful and pervasive material forces and their increasingly harmful effects on the human body. Drawing on feminist theory, environmental studies, and the sciences, Stacy Alaimo focuses on trans-corporeality, or movement across bodies and nature, which has profoundly altered our sense of self. By looking at a broad range of creative and philosophical writings, Alaimo illuminates how science, politics, and culture collide, while considering the closeness of the human body to the environment.

Levi’s yearnings mirror mine, the kind that dominates my will. Incinerates and leaves me powerless to my sinful nature. But I can’t allow it—a fall from grace would ruin us both. Unholy Desire His presence fills the emptiness in my life, but my sinful nature longs for more. Every inch of him—in my heart, in my body, making me feel whole again. Unholy Temptation Giving into my sinful nature, touching the forbidden, won’t just tear apart the life I’ve built for myself. It will ruin my family as well.
