Download or read book A Landscape with Dragons written by Michael D. O'Brien and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2011-05-24 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Harry Potter series of books and movies are wildly popular. Many Christians see the books as largely if not entirely harmless. Others regard them as dangerous and misleading. In his book A Landscape with Dragons, Harry Potter critic Michael O'Brien examines contemporary children's literature and finds it spiritually and morally wanting. His analysis, written before the rise of the popular Potter books and films, anticipates many of the problems Harry Potter critics point to. A Landscape with Dragons is a controversial, yet thoughtful study of what millions of young people are reading and the possible impact such reading may have on them. In this study of the pagan invasion of children's culture, O'Brien, the father of six, describes his own coming to terms with the effect it has had on his family and on most families in Western society. His analysis of the degeneration of books, films, and videos for the young is incisive and detailed. Yet his approach is not simply critical, for he suggests a number of remedies, including several tools of discernment for parents and teachers in assessing the moral content and spiritual impact of this insidious revolution. In doing so, he points the way to rediscovery of time-tested sources, and to new developments in Christian culture. If you have ever wondered why a certain children's book or film made you feel uneasy, but you couldn't figure out why, this book is just what you need. This completely revised, much expanded second edition also includes a very substantial recommended reading list of over 1,000 books for kindergarten through highschool.
Download or read book Mastering the Art of War written by Liang Zhuge and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2005 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Composed by two prominent statesmen-generals of classical China, this book develops the strategies of Sun Tzu's classic, The Art of War , into a complete handbook of organization and leadership. The great leaders of ancient China who were trained in Sun Tzu's principles understood how war is waged successfully, both materially and mentally, and how victory and defeat follow clear social, psychological, and environmental laws. Drawing on episodes from the panorama of Chinese history, Mastering the Art of War presents practical summaries of these essential laws along with tales of conflict and strategy that show in concrete terms the proper use of Sun Tzu's principles. The book also examines the social and psychological aspects of organization and crisis management. The translator's introduction surveys the Chinese philosophies of war and conflict and explores in depth the parallels between The Art of War and the oldest handbook of strategic living, the I Ching (Book of Changes).

Download or read book Bombshells written by Japes Archer and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-12-30 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is the Second Great War, and the armies of the Axis Powers march across the Continent. A last bastion of freedom in Europe, the British Isles must turn to old allies to turn the tide of the war. Dragons have been used in human warfare ever since St. George befriended the dragon instead of killing it. Dragons, being hoarders of beautiful things, have learned to view their human crew as precious collections, and flatter themselves that they can breed their humans the way we breed dogs or horses. But ever since dragons successfully won the right to pick their crew after the Napoleonic Wars, fear of dragons and disgust at women being allowed in command have led to the once-illustrious Royal Dragon Corps suffering neglect and becoming the "forgotten branch" of the British armed forces. Now, with the Nazi threat at Britain's door and a recognition of the power of dragons against the mechanized and occult Nazi menace, a Private who was painting pin-up girls on the sides of tanks is assigned to create propaganda art depicting the free and heroic lifestyle of aviators. Collected inside is the pin-up art of Private Japes Archer, whose illustrations of gorgeous semi-nude aviators and majestic dragons enticed thousands of young soldiers from all over the world to join up with the Royal Dragon Corps, and helped the Allied forces to victory. Complete with dozens of full-color pin-up illustrations in various art styles by the incomparable Japes Archer, vignettes telling the story of the heroic women of the Corps and their fierce dragons, as well as sketches and alternate versions, Bombshells is the definitive pictorial history of the dragons and dames who saved the Free World.
Download or read book A Dragon s Head and a Serpent s Tail written by Kenneth M. Swope and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2013-04-29 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The invasion of Korea by Japanese troops in May of 1592 was no ordinary military expedition: it was one of the decisive events in Asian history and the most tragic for the Korean peninsula until the mid-twentieth century. Japanese overlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi envisioned conquering Korea, Ming China, and eventually all of Asia; but Korea’s appeal to China’s Emperor Wanli for assistance triggered a six-year war involving hundreds of thousands of soldiers and encompassing the whole region. For Japan, the war was “a dragon’s head followed by a serpent’s tail”: an impressive beginning with no real ending. Kenneth M. Swope has undertaken the first full-length scholarly study in English of this important conflict. Drawing on Korean, Japanese, and especially Chinese sources, he corrects the Japan-centered perspective of previous accounts and depicts Wanli not as the self-indulgent ruler of received interpretations but rather one actively engaged in military affairs—and concerned especially with rescuing China’s client state of Korea. He puts the Ming in a more vigorous light, detailing Chinese siege warfare, the development and deployment of innovative military technologies, and the naval battles that marked the climax of the war. He also explains the war’s repercussions outside the military sphere—particularly the dynamics of intraregional diplomacy within the shadow of the Chinese tributary system. What Swope calls the First Great East Asian War marked both the emergence of Japan’s desire to extend its sphere of influence to the Chinese mainland and a military revival of China’s commitment to defending its interests in Northeast Asia. Swope’s account offers new insight not only into the history of warfare in Asia but also into a conflict that reverberates in international relations to this day.

Download or read book Beautiful War written by James Douglas Davis and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2010 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beautiful War explores the interdependent political, linguistic, and erotic registers of lesbian feminism in Monique Wittig's novels, querying in particular how they function collectively to destabilize male hegemony and heterosexism. Beginning with the assertion that Wittig expressly dismantles the Classical veneration of la belle femme in order to create an agent more capable of social change (la femme belliqueuse), the author traces the permutations of violence through her four novels, L'Opoponax, Les Guérillères, Le Corps Lesbien, and Virgile, Non and examines the relevance of brutality to Wittig's feminist agenda. Drawing on literary criticism, intellectual and political history, queer theory, and feminist theory in his readings of the primary texts, the author argues that Wittig's oeuvre constitutes a progressive textual actualization of paradigm shifts toward gender parity and a permanent banishment of the primacy of male and heterosexist political and sexual discourse.
