Download or read book An English Chronicle 1377 1461 written by C. William Marx and published by Boydell Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The narrative covers the periods 1377-1437 and 1440-1461, and includes previously unknown English-language accounts of episodes of the reign of Richard II, such as the Peasants' Revolt. Each continuation is the product of a different political climate, and the introduction explores the narrative and rhetorical structures that lie behind them. As a whole, the edition offers particularly valuable insights into the growth of a highly politicised vernacular historical narrative, and the way in which two medieval compilers sought to represent the history of the late fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries."--Jacket.

Download or read book The Language of Bees written by Rae HOWELLS and published by Parthian. This book was released on 2022-04-02 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we have hope in a world that is dying? Global problems like climate change feel terrifying, too big for one person to take on. But what if, instead of being overwhelmed, we were to look for hope in the smallest details? A dying moth falling against a kiss. A distracted lover's hip pressing into a table. A single carder bee, dying on the driveway of a suburban garden in Wales. With a forensic eye, Howells takes us on a journey through ordinary human lives and the extraordinary natural world we are in danger of losing. The carder bee carries the story of a colony, a species, and, ultimately, the fate of all life on earth. The mermaid weaves an almost beautiful tale of a tragic miscarriage. The magpie writes yearning letters to her lost lover. The brilliant kingfisher flits through the mind of a woman with dementia. Through each exacting portrait, we begin to understand something special, a language of bees, and discover for ourselves how intimately we are all connected and what the natural world is trying to tell us.
