Book Synopsis Warriors of the Word by : Michael Newton
Download or read book Warriors of the Word written by Michael Newton and published by Birlinn. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An enlightening illustrated overview of Gaelic culture and history in Scotland. Words have always held great power in the Gaelic traditions of the Scottish Highlands: Bardic poems bought immortality for their subjects; satires threatened to ruin reputations and cause physical injury; clan sagas recounted family origins and struggles for power; incantations invoked blessings and curses. Even in the present, Gaels strive to counteract centuries of misrepresentation of the Highlands as a backwater of barbarism without a valid story of its own to tell. Warriors of the Word offers a broad overview of Scottish Highland culture and history, bringing together rare and previously untranslated primary texts from scattered and obscure sources. Poetry, songs, tales, and proverbs, supplemented by the accounts of insiders and travelers, illuminate traditional ways of life, exploring such topics as folklore, music, dance, literature, social organization, supernatural beliefs, human ecology, ethnic identity, and the role of language. This range of materials allows Scottish Gaeldom to be described on its own terms and to demonstrate its vitality and wealth of renewable cultural resources—making this an essential compendium for scholars, students, and all enthusiasts of Scottish culture.

Download or read book Warrior of the World written by Jeffe Kennedy and published by Rebel Base Books. This book was released on 2019-01-08 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CHRONICLES OF DASNARIA Just beyond the reach of the Twelve Kingdoms, avarice, violence, strategy, and revenge clash around a survivor who could upset the balance of power all across the map . . . Once Ivariel thought elephants were fairy tales to amuse children. But her ice-encased childhood in Dasnaria’s imperial seraglio was lacking in freedom and justice.. With a new name and an assumed identity as a warrior priestess of Danu, the woman once called Princess Jenna is now a fraud and a fugitive. But as she learns the ways of the beasts and hones new uses for her dancer’s strength, she moves one day further from the memory of her brutal husband. Safe in hot, healing Nyambura, Ivariel holds a good man at arm’s length and trains for the day she’ll be hunted again. She knows it’s coming. She’s not truly safe, not when her mind clouds with killing rage at unpredictable moments. Not when patient Ochieng’s dreams of a family frighten her to her bones. But it still comes as a shock to Ivariel when long-peaceful Nyambura comes under attack. Until her new people look to their warrior priestess and her elephants to lead them . . . Praise for The Mark of the Tala “Magnificent...a richly detailed fantasy world.” —RT Book Reviews, 41⁄2 stars, Top Pick “Well written and swooningly romantic.” —Library Journal, starred review

An unguarded moment leads to a forbidden night of intimacy; an act of betrayal to the crown, an act that will put both their lives in jeopardy. Katreena flees to save them both. Danger increases as their secret may be discovered and war erupts on their planet.
Download or read book First Americans written by Thomas Grillot and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-22 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The little-known story of how army veterans returning to reservation life after World War I transformed Native American identity. Drawing from archival sources and oral histories, Thomas Grillot demonstrates how the relationship between Native American tribes and the United States was reinvented in the years following World War I. During that conflict, twelve thousand Native American soldiers served in the U.S. Army. They returned home to their reservations with newfound patriotism, leveraging their veteran cachet for political power and claiming all the benefits of citizenship—even supporting the termination policy that ended the U.S. government’s recognition of tribal sovereignty.
Download or read book Cosmic Warrior written by Quinton Brodt and published by Blurb. This book was released on 2018-03-02 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quinton Brodt is no pastor or theologian, just a regular person like you, who is seeking something much greater than himself. After hitting rock bottom Brodt went on a journey to discover himself, and what his purpose was in life. This discovery led him to the Christian Bible, and the everlasting love and desire that God has for His people. The Bible is a very large book with an abundance of information that can be very overwhelming to some. Cosmic Warrior breaks down each book of the Bible in a simple and concise manner to easily understand the fundamentals of what is being conveyed by God. In addition to providing supplemental information to the Bible, Brodt equips the reader with knowledge that is instrumental in understanding what it means to be a true Christian, and follower of God. Cosmic Warrior is not a book that claims to be a source of hidden knowledge that can only be obtained for a price. Not at all! Quinton believes in, “Not wanting to profit off of the prophets.” Cosmic Warrior presents knowledge and wisdom about the Bible and God that should be freely available to everyone. Thus, Brodt has vowed to make a free digital version of this book available at numerous eBook platforms.
