John Henry Newman: A Biography

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This full-length life of John Henry Newman is the first comprehensive biography of both the man and the thinker and writer. It draws extensively on material from Newman`s letters and papers. Newman`s character is revealed in its complexity and contrasts: the legendary sadness and sensitivity are placed in their proper perspective by being set against his no less striking qualities of exuberance, humour, and toughness. This book attempts to do justice to the fullness of Newman`s achievement and genius: the Victorian `prophet` or `sage`, who ranks among the major English prose writers, the dominating religious figure of the nineteenth century, who can now be recognised as the forerunner of the Second Vatican Council and the modern ecumenical movement, and finally, the universal Christian thinker, whose significance transcends his culture and time.

John James Audubon and The Birds of America : A Visionary Achievement in Ornithology Illustration

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: John James Audubon`s sumptuous four-volume edition of Birds of America, published between 1827 and 1838, contains 435 hand-colored life-size prints of 1,065 individual American birds. A glorious union of science and art, it remains an unequaled achievement in ornithology illustration. In tracing Audubon`s quest to produce this groundbreaking work, Vedder draws on the artist and naturalist`s own writings and the latest scholarship on his life and on Birds of America. Plates from the Huntington Library`s double-elephant folio are reproduced in color, including the wild turkey, Baltimore oriole, bald eagle, and (once presumed extinct) ivory-billed woodpecker. Vedder provides with each plate a commentary on the unique characteristics of the species depicted, based on Audubon`s own observations in the field. [detailed...]

John Keats A Literary Biography

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description1908. It is possible for biography, sometimes, to attain the dramatic vitality of fiction. Modern scholarship demands, of course, that there shall be no transgressions against the truth. In this book I have endeavored to conceive of Keatsas the protagonist of a domestic drama, coming upon a stage of shifting scenes, as in the old chronicle-histories, coming playing his part, and passing tragically under the blight. I have tried to select the significant moments, to reproduce the authentic local color of his daily life and to make him live, in a world of good cheer and vexation as a vivid reality. Contents: Before Waterloo and After, Genesis, Schooldays, Surgery, Hampstead Heath, Characteristics, The Volume of 1817, Sleep and Poetry, New Experience, Endymion, The Philosophy of Soul-Making, Criticism of Endymion, Isabella, The Scotch Tour, The Attacks of the Reviews, The Revelation of Character, Junkets, Poetical Nature, Style, Lamia, The Eve of St. Agnes, The Odes, The… [detailed...]

Richard Parker
John Kenneth Galbraith: His Life, His Politics, His Economics

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: John Kenneth Galbraith (1908-2006) was one of America’s most famous economists for good reason. From his acerbic analysis of America’s “private wealth and public squalor” to his denunciation of the wars in Vietnam and Iraq, Galbraith consistently challenged “conventional wisdom” (a phrase he coined). He did so as a witty commentator on America’s political follies and as a versatile author of bestselling books—such as The Affluent Society and The New Industrial State —that warn of the dangers of deregulated markets, corporate greed, and inattention to the costs of our military power. Here, in the first full-length biography of Galbraith and his times, Richard Parker provides not only a nuanced portrait of this extraordinary man, but also an important reinterpretation of twentieth-century public policy and economic practices. “Whatever you may think of his ideas, John Kenneth Galbraith has led an… [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: The life and times of America’s most celebrated economist, assessing his lessons—and warnings—for us today John Kenneth Galbraith’s books—among them The Affluent Society and American Capitalism —are famous for good reason. Written by a scholar renowned for energetic political engagement and irrepressible wit, they are models of provocative good sense that warn prophetically of the dangers of deregulated markets, war in Asia, corporate greed, and stock-market bubbles. Galbraith’s work has also deeply—and controversially—influenced his own profession, and in Richard Parker’s hands his biography becomes a vital reinterpretation of American economics and public policy. Born and raised on a small Canadian farm, Galbraith began teaching at Harvard during the Depression. He was FDR’s “price czar” during the war and then a senior editor of Fortune before returning to… [detailed...]

Publisher: Taschen
Description: One quarter of the world`s most famous group, one half of the most successful songwriting team of all time and one voice for world peace - all achieved in one tragically shortened career. John Lennon`s remarkable talent and uncompromising character gave him a unique and extraordinary life, achieving a level of success and public adoration that few can imagine. Never far in his mind from his working class roots, his lifestyle was conversely rich and free, his celebrity affording him a musical and political soapbox few have attained. Music Icons: Lennon takes a look at both his personal and professional life before, during and after the Beatles: the progression of his creative genius as a solo artist and songwriter, his battles with the US government, his devotion to his wife and their mutual goal for a peaceful revolution. Having become a controversial and outspoken idealist and a mercurial music legend, Lennon`s senseless murder in 1980 shook the world. While his widow has continued… [detailed...]

John Marco Allegro: The Maverick Of The Dead Sea Scrolls (Studies in the Dead Sea Scrolls and Related Literature)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThis book is the first to fully explore the life and ideas of John Marco Allegro (1923?1988), freethinker and rebel, whose work on the Dead Sea Scrolls led him to challenge the church, the team of scholars in charge of editing the Scrolls, and most conventional assumptions about the development of Christianity. As the first British member of the Scrolls editing team, Allegro shared the excitement, the insights, and the eyestrain of deciphering these invaluable ancient fragments. He made it possible for the Copper Scroll to be opened in Manchester and did much to focus worldwide attention on the Scrolls as a whole. But he made his name ? or gained his notoriety ? from questioning orthodox assumptions about how Christianity began. Allegro`s views soon set him apart from fellow Scrolls scholars and even from the church itself. He asked questions that many people found disturbing if not outrageous. He wondered, for example, about the interweaving of… [detailed...]
