Book Synopsis Searching for Nova Albion by : Pamela Cranston
Download or read book Searching for Nova Albion written by Pamela Cranston and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-07-12 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title Searching for Nova Albion comes from a pilgrimage Pamela Cranston, an Episcopal priest, once made to Drake’s Beach near Point Reyes, California. There, in 1579, Sir Francis Drake landed the first English ship in North America, which he called Nova Albion (New Britain). The title poem is a protest against abuses of the environment and of power, wherever and whenever they happen. Inspired by the works of George Herbert, Gerard Manley Hopkins, R. S. Thomas, David Scott, and Rowan Williams, the author aspires to follow in their footsteps as a fellow poet-priest. Searching for Nova Albion displays a distinctive kind of spiritual sensibility found both within twentieth century English classical music and the Northern California landscape. These poems display a love for the roots and beauty of the English language, as well as an appreciation for the mystical, but also keep a critical eye to question, laugh with, or doubt Christian tradition. Common themes that arise are unexpected encounters with nature and the numinous; questions about life, death, and eternity; writing and finding one’s voice; dealing with loss and defeat; and the recompense of joy.

Book Synopsis The House of Metaphor by : Pamela Cranston
Download or read book The House of Metaphor written by Pamela Cranston and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-05-04 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poems in Pamela Cranston’s The House of Metaphor are an intoxicating blend of spirit, edginess, gravity, play, and paradox, gifts we are given from a mind having what Einstein called “a holy curiosity.” With subjects ranging from singing potatoes to angels and assassins, slave and master to moving recollections of her own childhood and her experience as a priest ministering to hospice patients, the book pulsates nonstop with the poet’s vigor and variety, powered through her boundless imagination and lyrical intensity. Everywhere are surprises, and Cranston’s choice words and marvelous metaphors seem to have been joyfully plucked from the heavens.
Book Synopsis Remembering That It Happened Once by : Dennis L. Johnson
Download or read book Remembering That It Happened Once written by Dennis L. Johnson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-12-27 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poets have long given us poems as portals into the stunning event and astonishing affirmation at the core of Christian faith: the Eternal Word has taken on flesh in Jesus of Nazareth. This is the mystery and message this collection of poems explores. The Latin word for “poetry” is carmen. Over time, carmen formed into our English word “charm.” These are Christmas carmen for the believer and doubter, the joyful and sorrowful, and the seeker longing for the experience of “God with us.” They are for opening the heart, widening the imagination, and shaping the soul. They are for remembering and beholding the mystery of the Incarnation in everyday life all year long.
Book Synopsis California Archaeology by : Michael J. Moratto
Download or read book California Archaeology written by Michael J. Moratto and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2014-05-10 with total page 798 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: California Archaeology provides a compilation of knowledge for archeologists who are not California specialists. This book explains important cultural events and patterns discovered archeologically. Organized into 11 chapters, this book begins with an overview of California's historic and ancient environments as well as the evidence of Pleistocene human activity. This text then examines the glacial and other environmental conditions that would have influenced the origins, adaptations, and spread of the earliest North Americans. Other chapters consider how California's past is relevant to a wider understanding of human behavior. This book discusses as well the perceptions of Central Coast and San Francisco Bay region prehistory that have changed rapidly as a result of intensive fieldwork performed to comply with environmental law. The final chapter deals with the data of historical linguistics, which indicate something of the cultural relationships and events that might have occurred in the past. This book is a valuable resource for archeologists.

Book Synopsis The Secret Voyage of Sir Francis Drake by : Samuel Bawlf
Download or read book The Secret Voyage of Sir Francis Drake written by Samuel Bawlf and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2009-05-26 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On September 26, 1580, Francis Drake sailed his ship, the Golden Hinde, into Plymouth Harbor on the southwest coast of England. Samuel Bawlf masterfully recounts the drama of this extraordinary expedition within the context of England's struggle to withstand the aggression of Catholic Europe and Drake's ambition for English enterprise in the Pacific. He offers fascinating insight into life at sea in the sixteenth century-from the dangers of mutiny and the lack of knowledge about wind and current to the arduous physical challenges faced every day by Drake's men. A cast of luminous characters runs through The Secret Voyage of Sir Francis Drake: Philip II of Spain, Europe's most powerful monarch; Elizabeth's spymaster and powerful advisor, Francis Walsingham; the encyclopedic cosmographer John Dee; and Abraham Ortelius, the great Dutch mapmaker to whom Drake leaked his Pacific discoveries. In the end, though, it is Francis Drake himself who comes most fully to life through the lens of his epic voyage. Remembered most as a privateer and for his victory over the Spanish Armada, the Drake that emerges from these pages is so much more: a dynamic leader of men, a brilliant navigator and sailor, and surely one of history's most daring explorers.
