Here he chronicles their first year as peacock owners, from struggling to build a pen to assisting the local bird doctor in surgery to triumphantly watching a peahen lay her first egg.

His book offers surprising lessons about love, grief, fatherhood, and family. -- adapted from jacket.
Download or read book Peacock written by Christine E. Jackson and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2006-11-30 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breathtakingly beautiful and exotic, the peacock inspires devotion among both artists and bird lovers. Its iridescent plumage, when fully displayed, is a delight to behold. The bird itself, as Christine E. Jackson notes in Peacock, appears to enjoy its audience, preening and strutting about within a few feet of humans. It is not surprising, then, that these vain birds and their distinctive feathers have been the prized possessions of kings for nearly three thousand years. Jackson here explores the peacock’s beauty—and its apparent attitude—through fairy tales, fables, and superstitions in both Eastern and Western cultures. Peacock takes stock of the bird as it appears within art, from the earliest mosaics to medieval illuminated manuscripts to modern graphics, with a special emphasis on the peacock’s symbolic value in the nineteenth-century arts and crafts and art nouveau movements. Jackson further details the peacock’s colorful presence in hats, clothing, and even sports equipment. A sweeping combination of social and natural history, Peacock is the first book to bring together all the shimmering, colorful facets of these magnificent birds.

Book Synopsis Language in the Buddhist Tantra of Japan by : Richard K. Payne
Download or read book Language in the Buddhist Tantra of Japan written by Richard K. Payne and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-08-09 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language in the Buddhist Tantra of Japan dismantles the preconception that Buddhism is a religion of mystical silence, arguing that language is in fact central to the Buddhist tradition. By examining the use of 'extraordinary language'-evocations calling on the power of the Buddha-in Japanese Buddhist Tantra, Richard K. Payne shows that such language was not simply cultural baggage carried by Buddhist practitioners from South to East Asia. Rather, such language was a key element in the propagation of new forms of belief and practice. In contrast to Western approaches to the philosophy of language, which are grounded in viewing language as a form of communication, this book argues that it is the Indian and East Asian philosophies of language that shed light on the use of language in meditative and ritual practices in Japan. It also illuminates why language was conceived as an effective means of progress on the path from delusion to awakening.
Book Synopsis SHOWERED BY GOD’S LOVE by : Iris Long
Download or read book SHOWERED BY GOD’S LOVE written by Iris Long and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2024-03-04 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Showered By God’s Love” details my trek through a spiritual wilderness that at times proved to be physically, emotionally, and mentally exhausting. When people and circumstances changed around me, affecting my peace and my steps, blessings and love from heaven sustained me, strengthened me, and renewed my focus. The Holy Spirit enabled me to continue one more day after one more day, culminating in another week, another month, another year. I began to understand how King David wrote the Psalms--soaring in victory and praising the Lord of the Battle for victories one day, and then seemingly crying from the depths of despair the next. Traveling through these pages, you may recognize a similar yo-yo pattern in your journey for more of Jesus. I share the steps I have traveled as encouragement from a co-laborer in seeking Christlikeness. I believe this is an ongoing goal in the lives of believers until we enter eternity.
