Book Synopsis Ambrosian Legacy by : Douglas Milewski
Download or read book Ambrosian Legacy written by Douglas Milewski and published by Elemental Pea. This book was released on 2021-01-19 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Break it now. Fix it later. That’s the Steamfitter way. In ages past, the Ambrosian did a number on the world. It’s amazing how stupid humans can be. Firmament looked like the stuff of wonders, but in reality, it was the stuff of blunders. Today’s humans know better. Or maybe not. You can see where this is going. When a strange substance falls from the sky, Jovian Steamfitter is fascinated. He discovers how to refine it, creating a new technology, one that might pay off his bank loans. Little does he understand that this substance is firmament, and that he’s single-handedly sparked an international arms race. Assembling a crack team of housekeepers, circus performers, and orphans, he sets off in the wrong direction, determined that somebody else should overcome this challenge at any cost.
Book Synopsis Trace and Aura by : Patrick Boucheron
Download or read book Trace and Aura written by Patrick Boucheron and published by Other Press, LLC. This book was released on 2022-01-25 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From one of the foremost medievalists of our time, a groundbreaking work on history and memory that goes well beyond the life of this influential saint. Elected bishop of Milan by popular acclaim in 374, Ambrose went on to become one of the four original Doctors of the Church. There is much more to this book, however, than the captivating story of the bishop who baptized Saint Augustine in the fourth century. Trace and Aura investigates how a crucial figure from the past can return in different guises over and over again, in a city that he inspired and shaped through his beliefs and political convictions. His recurring lives actually span more than ten centuries, from the fourth to the sixteenth. In the process of following Ambrose’s various reincarnations, Patrick Boucheron draws compelling connections between religion, government, tyranny, the Italian commune, Milan’s yearning for autonomy, and many other aspects of this fascinating relationship between a city and its spiritual mentor who strangely seems to resist being manipulated by the needs and ambitions of those in power.
Book Synopsis The Medieval Revision of the Ambrosian Hexateuch by : Mariachiara Fincati
Download or read book The Medieval Revision of the Ambrosian Hexateuch written by Mariachiara Fincati and published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. This book was released on 2016-01-18 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the end of the 11th century the ancient Hexateuch Ms. Ambrosianus A 147 inf. underwent a general restoration: the original majuscule writing was retraced throughout, some lost sheets were replaced, and a great number of variant readings were added, being sometimes preferred to the original text. The purpose of the restoration appears to have been a revision of the Septuagint text in order to make it conform to the Masoretic. Mariachiara Fincati provides a complete analysis of each individual modification by comparing each of them with extant Christian and Jewish Greek translations of the biblical text.

Book Synopsis Papers Presented to the Tenth International Conference on Patristic Studies Held in Oxford, 1987 by : Elizabeth A. Livingstone
Download or read book Papers Presented to the Tenth International Conference on Patristic Studies Held in Oxford, 1987 written by Elizabeth A. Livingstone and published by Peeters. This book was released on 1989 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Papers presented at the Tenth International Conference on Patristic Studies held in Oxford 1987 (see also Studia Patristica 19, 20, 21 and 23). The successive sets of Studia Patristica contain papers delivered at the International Conferences on Patristic Studies, which meet for a week once every four years in Oxford; they are held under the aegis of the Theology Faculty of the University. Members of these conferences come from all over the world and most offer papers. These range over the whole field, both East and West, from the second century to a section on the Nachleben of the Fathers. The majority are short papers dealing with some small and manageable point; they raise and sometimes resolve questions about the authenticity of documents, dates of events, and such like, and some unveil new texts. The smaller number of longer papers put such matters into context and indicate wider trends. The whole reflects the state of Patristic scholarship and demonstrates the vigour and popularity of the subject.

Book Synopsis The Legacy of Empire by : Sharon Worley
Download or read book The Legacy of Empire written by Sharon Worley and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2018-11-14 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The shadow of Napoleon never left the nineteenth-century and continued to haunt the histories and wars that followed in curious and circuitous ways. The empires of Napoleon I and his nephew, Napoleon III, set the stage for the pendulum swing of time from revolution to its antithesis, empire. The Anglo-Italian style developed as a reaction to these empires, the widespread devastation caused by power, and the monuments it created. Lord Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Margaret Fuller, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Harriet Hosmer, William Wetmore Story, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry James and Vernon Lee responded to recurring themes in Italian Risorgimento politics and culture in the post-Napoleonic era and Second Empire periods. Many of them were ex-patriots, who adopted Italy as their new home. Their unique contribution aligns them with a style that is distinguished by the themes of national independence, feminism, the abolition of slavery and republicanism. They perceived their own time in terms of parallel dimensions in which the past and present converged in national histories at home, in America and England, and in Italy, their new ideal state. The language of their new nationalism evolved from the chronological study of Ancient Rome up to the Renaissance, and the style of both revolution and empire, neoclassicism, while their perspective was largely shaped by a reactionary contrast between the empires of Napoleon I and III, and an ideal state they envisioned for Italy.
Book Synopsis The Ambrosia Project by : Abi Silver
Download or read book The Ambrosia Project written by Abi Silver and published by Eye & Lightning Books. This book was released on 2022-10-13 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A tragic accident? Or is there a poisoner on the loose? In the sixth of Abi Silver's nail-biting games of court-room cat-and-mouse, Judith Burton and Constance Lamb defend a caterer accused of killing a food magnate by negligence. Is something darker afoot? When food magnate Brett Ingram collapses and dies at a public event, his seafood allergy is blamed and the caterer, Nick Demetriou, charged with manslaughter. Nick hires legal duo Judith Burton and Constance Lamb to defend him. They scrutinise the colourful panellists at the event – a food blogger, a beef farmer, a food scientist, a TV chef and a radio host – who all seem to be holding something back. There's something fishy about the allergy story. Did one of the speakers have a hand in the businessman's death? And what of the nasty incidents that keep befalling them? Should the net be cast wider to include opponents of Brett's mysterious Ambrosia initiative? In another of Abi Silver's nail-biting games of courtroom cat-and-mouse, Judith and Constance must find the truth among a smorgasbord of lies and deception.
Book Synopsis The Legacy of the Grand Tour by : Lisa Colletta
Download or read book The Legacy of the Grand Tour written by Lisa Colletta and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-12-09 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The topos of the journey is one of the oldest in literature, and even in this age of packaged tours and mediated experience, it still remains one of the most compelling. This volume examines the ways in which the legacy of the Grand Tour is still evident in works of travel and literature. From its aristocratic origins and the permutations of sentimental and romantic travel to the age of tourism and globalization, the Grand Tour still influences the destinations tourists choose and shapes the ideas of culture and sophistication that surround the act of travel. The essays in this collection examine a wide variety of literature—travel, memoir, and fiction—and explore the ways travel and ideas of “culture” have evolved since the heyday of the Grand Tour in the 18th century. The sites of the Grand Tour remain a powerful cultural draw, and they continue to define ideas of taste and learning for those who visit them.

Book Synopsis American Opera Singers and Their Recordings by : Clyde T. McCants
Download or read book American Opera Singers and Their Recordings written by Clyde T. McCants and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2004-08-06 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on American opera singers and what their recordings say about their artistry. It is not a book about all American opera singers, since many who had important careers on stage, made few, if any, recordings. And many of those who did make recordings, did so prior to the introduction of electrical recording in 1925 (and the resulting advances in the reproduction of the human voice). Opera enthusiasts can only imagine the sound of Farinelli's voice or read what his contemporaries have written about it, but with almost any famous or near-famous singer of recent years, enthusiasts do not have to imagine. Their voices are available through the technology of sound recording. There are 53 entries, one each for 52 singers and a composite entry for a group of Hollywood vocalists. Each entry contains biographical information and is followed by a discography of operatic recordings to be used in conjunction with the critical commentaries. The entries are in alphabetical order by the singer's last name and provide critical analyses of key recordings and of the artists' gifts and limitations.
Book Synopsis Celestial Nuggets of Ambrosia by : Stephen Jay

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus assures us in a clear, concise statement of hope and promise that those who hunger and desire to be filled will be. All those who hunger for spiritual wisdom—the manna that renews and purifies consciousness—will receive it and be blessed. Celestial Nuggets of Ambrosia presents twelve chapters revealing divine wisdom that can build Soul awareness and fuel the flight of ascension. The number twelve represents completeness, wholeness, and fulfillment in and of God, and these twelve celestial fruits are sayings—living words of truth given by Christ Jesus in the Gospel of Thomas. They form a banquet, a feast to enrich and enlighten the Souls of all who come to eat freely of the imperishable fruit of the Tree of Life. There is one voice, the voice of Spirit, and all illuminating wisdom stems from the one. Those who are open to the message, who hear echoes of it rippling through the ethers of the cosmos, receive and pour bountifully and deeply. The wholesome manna of celestial nuggets continues to keep your inner flame lit with perpetual inspiration, igniting your Soul on its odyssey to illumination.
Book Synopsis Augustine Through the Ages by : Allan Fitzgerald
Download or read book Augustine Through the Ages written by Allan Fitzgerald and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 1999 with total page 962 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This one-volume reference work provides the first encyclopedic treatment of the life, thought, and influence of Augustine of Hippo (A.D. 354-430), one of the greatest figures in the history of the Christian church. The product of more than 140 leading scholars throughout the world, this comprehensive encyclopedia contains over 400 articles that cover every aspect of Augustine's life and writings and trace his profound influence on the church and the development of Western thought through the past two millennia. Major articles examine in detail all of Augustine's nearly 120 extant writings, from his brief tractates to his prodigious theological works. For many readers, this volume is the only source for commentary on the numerous works by Augustine not available in English. Other articles discuss: Augustine's influence on other theologians, from contemporaries like Jerome and Ambrose to prominent figures throughout church history, such as Gregory the Great, Aquinas, Luther, Calvin, and Harnack; Augustine's life, the chaotic political events of his world, and the church's struggles with such heresies as Arianism, Donatism, Manicheism, and Pelagianism; Augustine's thoughts about philosophical problems (time, the ascent of the soul, the nature of truth), theological questions (guilt, original sin, free will, the Trinity), and cultural issues (church-state relations, Roman society).
Book Synopsis Something about Ambrosia - Reminds me of PTSD by : Chaplain David Lefavor, D.Min, BCC
Download or read book Something about Ambrosia - Reminds me of PTSD written by Chaplain David Lefavor, D.Min, BCC and published by Chaplain David Lefavor. This book was released on 2014-05-24 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Something about Ambrosia - Reminds me of PTSD June 27th “National PTSD Awareness Day”, this book is about PTSD. You usually find Ambrosia in the first section of the cafeteria serving line, but with PTSD you never know where it will pop up when you least expect it. Except for some senior citizens, most people just walk by ambrosia on their way to the meat & vegetables. Ambrosia is a unique and sometimes strange fruit salad concoction made up of grapes, pineapple, several types of oranges, marshmallows, coconuts, cherries, and lots of whipped cream. Most grandmothers have a special recipe for ambrosia. However, there is something uniquely odd about ambrosia that is so similar to PTSD. Let’s take a look at ambrosia and PTSD. Ø Ambrosia, like PTSD, seems to have a way of choosing you to be the one to test out the recipe. Ø Ambrosia generally lacks any specific form and is never the same. Ø Ambrosia, like PTSD, is made up of some strange and confusing ingredients. Ø Ambrosia can be overpowering at times, like PTSD. No way, would you want to live off a steady diet of ambrosia. The ingredients in ambrosia are real, but the combination seems to defy reasoning. With ambrosia, one is never sure of the outcome. There are approximately 21.6 million veterans alive, who have served faithfully and honorable in our nations armed forces. Out of that total, there are over 300,000 veterans that are afflicted with PTSD. Additionally, it has been reported that 20% of the returning Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans suffer from PTSD. These are Americans who have served faithfully and honorable in our country’s military. They have truly borne the battle into harm’s way. They would always certainly wish to live without the effects of PTSD, but they can only live day by day with the terrible symptoms. Here are several of their stories, told from their standpoint in the style of Biblical parables. From WWII to the present day, conflicts in the Middle East, these parables will inform and educate what it’s like to suffer from the debilitating effects of PTSD. For those who have endured the battle; wars, unlike fairy tales, rarely end happily-ever-after. For homecomings, victory speeches, and parades quickly fade and are replaced by the quotidian rhythms of life—rhythms consisting of conscious and unconscious memories that are simultaneously distant but ever-near. These are the memories that both reveal and hide the psychic, social, and spiritual wounds of war. Both the congressionally designated June 27th “National PTSD Awareness Day” and the National Center for PTSD’s designation of June as “PTSD Awareness Month” are powerful and timely reminders of this reality. A thoughtful reading of this book will foster a clear and deeper understanding and appreciation for the all too tragic, but at times hidden, wounds afflicting the lives of over 20% of our Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, as well as the lingering trauma of nearly 31% of Vietnam veterans. Awareness and understanding constitute the first step toward healing. A reading of “Something about Ambrosia ” is the best place to begin.
Book Synopsis Chant and Notation in South Italy and Rome before 1300 by : John Boe

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fifteen studies assembled here grew out of research on south-Italian ordinary chants and tropes for the multi-volume series Beneventanum Troporum Corpus II, edited by John Boe in collaboration with Alejandro Planchart. In the present essays, clerical and ordinary chants and tropes of the Mass (especially when derived from paraliturgical hymns and poems), certain aspects of chant notation and particular facets of the old Beneventan and the old Roman chant repertories are examined in relation to the three main cultic centres of the Italian south - Benevento, Montecassino and Rome - and as they relate to their European context, namely Frankish and Norman chant and the varieties of chant sung in Italy north of Rome. The volume includes one previously unpublished study, on the Roman introit Salus Populi.
