Book Synopsis The Stars in Song and Legend by : Jermain G. Porter
Download or read book The Stars in Song and Legend written by Jermain G. Porter and published by The Minerva Group, Inc.. This book was released on 2000-04 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The writer of this notice has for several years had in mind the preparation of a book connecting the study of the constellations with classical legends and folklore referring to them, but Dr. Porter's elegant little volume makes it unnecessary to proceed further with the matter. The remarkable discoveries of modern astronomy have caused people to leave the study of the sky to observatories, whereas the most interesting observations can be made with the naked eye. Before learning about spectrum analysis applied to celestial bodies, or the surface markings on planets as revealed by the telescope, students of astronomy should become familiar with the skies, note the stars in the seasons, the relative positions of the sun and moon during a lunation, the apparent motions of planets and similar phenomena. These appearances were followed with intelligence thousands of years ago, yet most people to-day are unacquainted with them. In early days the heavens were closer to the earth than they are now; so we find that classical myth often has an astronomical significance, the constellations and their apparent motions representing the apotheosis of the actors in a terrestrial drama, though whether the legend suggested the designation of star-groups or the stars gave birth to the legend cannot easily be decided. Dr. Porter brings together much simple legendary lore of the heavens, and the teacher of classics will find his volume just as inspiring as the observer of the skies. The illustrations show the constellations with the figures found on old star-maps and celestial globes. It is a little surprising that, as the book is of American origin, Dr. Porter only mentions a few of the astronomical beliefs and ceremonies of American Indians. For instance, we find no reference to the tradition of the Micmac Indians, that the stars are watch-fires, the bright ones being those of chiefs, or of Dr. Fewkes' detailed studies of the Hopi Indians at Walpi, where observations of the positions of the sun at sunrise and sunset are used to regulate the commencement of a ritual connected with sun-worship. It is also worth consideration whether a short chapter on the planets known to the ancients might not be added with advantage, as most people are unable to distinguish them from stars. -The School World, Vol. 4

Did the American Indians descend from the inhabitants of an alien spacecraft that crashed in the Alaska-Canada region thousands of years ago? Starcrash indicates that aliens continued to come to Earth, some intentionally and by accident, throughout our history. In order to adjust to harsh conditions they were forced to interbreed with the local aborigines. This was the only way to insure the survival of their race. Does their blood still flow in the veins of certain American Indian tribes?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part memoir, part tribute, and all great storytelling ... Music industry veterans Robbie Robertson, Jim Guerinot, Jared Levine, and Sebastian Robertson invite young readers to share with them in celebrating twenty-seven musical legends. Short profiles chronicle personal stories and achievements of extraordinarily talented artists whose innovations changed the landscape of music for generations to come. Carefully compiled like any great playlist, the line-up features originators, rebels, and risk-takers across diverse genres. From Ray Charles to Johnny Cash, Chuck Berry to Bob Dylan, Robertson shares anecdotes about these artists and the influence they had on his own musical journey. Always respectful of their reader, the writers never shy away from speaking about the difficult challenges these recording artists faced and the very human foibles that sometimes led to their tragic end. Most of all, it's the authors' passion and insights into these personal stories of creativity and collaboration -- and the power of music to shine a light on injustice and foster change -- that will fascinate, enlighten, and inspire music fans of all ages.
