And aye the worm is waking That gnawed the heart of life With making and unmaking, And toil that takes to wife And liveth but in seeming To learn desire is dreaming And little light is gleaming Beyond this lampless strife.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Staff and Scrip, or Help for the Pilgrim on the Journey of Life: Furnished by the Contemplation of Divine Truth, Exhibited in the World's History, and in Figures, Allegories, and Similitudes Scrip and Staff for the Journey of Life. The two words in the title, with small allowance for metaphor, will give the scope and contents of this book. The scrip is for the pilgrim to carry provisions for the way, and the staff is to help his weary feet up steep hills and over hard places. The scrip is well stored with kind words from the good and with grave counsels from the wise. The staff is strong to support the heavy laden, and it is better than shield and spear in time of danger. Whenever the wayfarer opens the scrip, he will find in it good bread to satisfy hunger and great truths to strengthen mind and heart. Whenever the pilgrim leans on the staff, he can trust to its strength without fear that it will prove a broken reed, piercing the hand. The scrip is not woven and lettered with threads of gold, nor is the carving of the staff in the highest style of art. Both are intended for plain people who work their passage through the world and pay their fare as they go. Both scrip and staff will do good service all the journey through, and the pilgrim will like both the better when he gets near his home.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Scrip, Vol. 1: July 1906 T the exhibition of. The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts last winter, in the sculpture room, was to be seen a very small figurine representing a child clasping in its arms a picturebook, its face broadly smiling, its sandalled feet stoutly planted, its large head 'childishly erect on the small throat, its entire pose vigorously suggestive of freshness of inspiration. Technically the work had a singular attractive ness. It combined delicacy of modelling with boldness of form. The hand had known just where' to insist upon the anatomical structure for the affect of robustness in the sturdy little figure, and just where to caress the surface into delicate suggestions of light and shadow. The hair lying thick and rough on the head was not permitted to conceal the fine shape of the latter; the dimpled cheeks and dimpled arms, the babyish chin curving softly in beautiful modulation to the little neck, the plump, outspread hands, had, with all their suggestions of tenderness and childhood, not a trace of the sentimental smoothness by which tenderness and child hood commonly are rendered. The touch was firm and clear and the individual character was shown through the soft forms with penetrating imagination. It was altogether a performance of extraordinary distinction, in which the sculptor, Caroline Peddle Ball, displayed all the qualities of her exceedingly personal and interesting art.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of William Mason, Vol. 2 of 4 Edgar, King of England, having heard the beauty of Elfrida, daughter of Orgar Karl of Devonshire, highly celebrated, sent his favourite Minister Athelwold to the father's castle, to discover whether she was really so beautiful, as fame reported her to be; and if she was, to offer her his Crown in marriage. Athelwold, on seeing her, fell violently in love with her himself; and married her; conveying her soon after to his own castle in Harewood Forest, where he visited her by stealth from court; and in his absence left her with a train of British Virgins, who form the Chorus. After three months, Orgar, disapproving this confinement of his daughter, came disguised to Hare-wood to discover the cause of it. His arrival opens the Drama. The incidents which are produced by Athelwold's return from court (who was absent when Orgar came to his castle), and afterwards by the unexpected visit of the king, form the Episode of the Tragedy; the feigned pardon of Athelwold, drawn from the king by the earnest intercession of Elfrida, brings on the Peripetia, or change of fortune; and the single combat between the king and Athelwold, in which the latter is slain, occasions Elfrida to take the vow, which completes the Catastrophe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rod and Staff or Correction and Comfort: A Book of Religious Miscellany This. Volume, compiled and published at the request of friends, is made up mainly of the author's contribu tions which have appeared in various religious papers Since his first literary venture, October 17, 1877, along with unpublished pieces thereto added, all of which is carefully arranged, in proper order, so that beginning with the Bible as a rule of faith and practice, the Script ure themes that follow fall in naturally in the order in which they should come to our understanding. The black-board cuts are the work of the author, a farmer's son from the Granite State, born in 1848, and beginning his Christian life January 8, 1876, and who although not an engraver, appears in the role of the artist, while his professional work with the brush during seventeen years past as master car painter for a leading New England railroad company is only excelled by the artistic pen-work exhibited in this valuable volume, where like his ﬂowers on Nahum's Chariots, the apples of gold are set in baskets of Silver.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bernard Krigstein began his career as an unremarkable journeyman cartoonist during the 1940s and finished it as a respected fine artist and illustrator ― but comics historians know him for his explosively creative 1950s, during which he applied all the craft, intelligence and ambition of a burgeoning “serious” artist to his comics work, with results that remain stunning to this day. Krigstein’s legend rests mostly on the 30 or so stories he created for the EC Comics, but dozens of stories drawn for other, lesser publishers such as Rae Herman, Hillman, and Atlas (which would become Marvel) showcase his skills and radical reinterpretation of the comics page, in particular his groundbreaking slicing and dicing of time lapses through a series of narrow, nearly animated panels. Greg Sadowski, who has previously written and designed a Harvey Award-winning biography of Krigstein, has assembled the very best of Krigstein’s comics work, starting with his earliest creative rumblings, through his glory days at EC, to his final, even more brilliantly radical stories for Atlas Comics ― running through every genre popular at the time, be it horror, science fiction, war, western, or romance (but no super-heroes).

Book excerpt: How do you tailor education to the learning needs of adults? Do they learn differently from children? How does their life experience inform their learning processes? These were the questions at the heart of Malcolm Knowles’ pioneering theory of andragogy which transformed education theory in the 1970s. The resulting principles of a self-directed, experiential, problem-centred approach to learning have been hugely influential and are still the basis of the learning practices we use today. Understanding these principles is the cornerstone of increasing motivation and enabling adult learners to achieve. The 9th edition of The Adult Learner has been revised to include: Updates to the book to reflect the very latest advancements in the field. The addition of two new chapters on diversity and inclusion in adult learning, and andragogy and the online adult learner. An updated supporting website. This website for the 9th edition of The Adult Learner will provide basic instructor aids including a PowerPoint presentation for each chapter. Revisions throughout to make it more readable and relevant to your practices. If you are a researcher, practitioner, or student in education, an adult learning practitioner, training manager, or involved in human resource development, this is the definitive book in adult learning you should not be without.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Israel and Judah: From the Reign of Ahab to the Decline of the Two Kingdoms Thus much must for the present suffice - the more so, as in the next Volume (which will conclude the Old Testament History) the opportunity will necessarily present itself for larger retrospect and wider survey. It only remains to add that the treatment of the subject in this Volume will be found in ac cordance with the progressive plan of this work, repeatedly in dicated in previous Volumes. Alike the critical and exegetical notes will be found more frequent and more full, and the general treatment more detailed, and designed for more ad vanced readers. A new Element in the present Volume is the light brought to bear on this period from the ancient monu ments. We live in days when more attention than ever before is given to the critical study of the Old Testament 3 in days also when attacks are chieﬂy directed against the trustworthiness, the credibility, and, as it seems to us, the Divine Authority, in its true sense, of the Old Testament. There are those, we will gladly believe, who can disjoint, and in logical connection with it, re-interpret the Old Testament, and yet retain their full faith in its direct Divine character, and in its preparation for the Christ. We must frankly confess that we are not of their number. There is, indeed, a general Divine character in the Old Testament, and a general preparation in it for the New, whatever historical views we may take of it, or whatever inter pretations we may give of it. We would even advance beyond this, and say that Christ and Christianity have their absolute truth, quite irrespective of the Old Testament. But to us at least Jesus of Nazareth as the Christ is the direct outcome of the Old Testament, as well as its higher fulfilment: not only a light to lighten the Gentiles, but, and even in this very respect also the glory of Thy people Israel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of forty new essays, written by the leading scholars in adaptation studies and distinguished contributors from outside the field, is the most comprehensive volume on adaptation ever published. Written to appeal alike to specialists in adaptation, scholars in allied fields, and general readers, it hearkens back to the foundations of adaptation studies a century and more ago, surveys its ferment of activity over the past twenty years, and looks forward to the future. It considers the very different problems in adapting the classics, from the Bible to Frankenstein to Philip Roth, and the commons, from online mashups and remixes to adult movies. It surveys a dizzying range of adaptations around the world, from Latin American telenovelas to Czech cinema, from Hong Kong comics to Classics Illustrated, from Bollywood to zombies, and explores the ways media as different as radio, opera, popular song, and videogames have handled adaptation. Going still further, it examines the relations between adaptation and such intertextual practices as translation, illustration, prequels, sequels, remakes, intermediality, and transmediality. The volume's contributors consider the similarities and differences between adaptation and history, adaptation and performance, adaptation and revision, and textual and biological adaptation, casting an appreciative but critical eye on the theory and practice of adaptation scholars--and, occasionally, each other. The Oxford Handbook of Adaptation Studies offers specific suggestions for how to read, teach, create, and write about adaptations in order to prepare for a world in which adaptation, already ubiquitous, is likely to become ever more important.
