The Book of Ezekiel and its Influence

2007 y.
Publisher: Ashgate
Description: The Book of the Old Testament prophet `Ezekiel` (6th century B.C.E.) is a book of forceful language and impressive images. Its message is often clear, sometimes mysterious. The book had great impact in Jewish and early Christian literature as well as in western art. This book deals with the intentions of the book of `Ezekiel`, but also focuses on its use by subsequent writers, editors or artists. It traces `Ezekiel`s` influence in Jesus` teaching about the Kingdom of God, in Paul, the Gospels, and `Revelation`, and also shows that `Ezekiel`s` imagery, via Jewish mysticism, influenced the visionary art of William Blake. Presenting contributions from leading biblical scholars in Oxford and Leiden, based on their unique collaborative research, this book will be of interest to a wide range of scholars working in the field of biblical studies, including those studying the Hebrew Bible, its early versions, `inter-testamental` Judaism, New Testament and Early Christianity, and the reception… [detailed...]

The Book of Fascinating Facts: An Indispensable Modern Miscellany

2008 y.
Publisher: John Blake
Description: We live in the age of information. Some of it we need, some of it we definitely do not, and much of it, whether we need it or not, is downright fascinating! Did you know that all Englishmen over the age of 14 must spend two hours a week practicing the longbow, supervised by the local clergy? This law dates from the middle ages when there was no standing army, so in times of war noblemen were required to provide knights, archers, and infantry. Also, boys under 10 are forbidden in England to look at naked mannequins. This dates from the reign of George V in the 1900s when mannequins first appeared in shop windows and young boys` eyes started popping out. And who is aware of the International Rotten Sneaker contest? Why, it`s for kids ranging from age five to 15 competing all over the world from Alaska to Italy for a place in the grand final in Montpelier, Vermont, in March. The most stinky, worn-out, frayed, and torn sneakers are enshrined in the Hall of Fumes. This marvelous book is… [detailed...]

His autobiography, The Book of Generations: A Reunion with Memory , traces his adaptation to the culture and thought of twenty-first-century America. With a humorous, offbeat perspective, Ajami presents the inevitable culture clashes that shaped his intellectual evolution. He recounts ancient folklore and medieval church practices, the discovery of luscious and accomplished Western women, and the ways of poor fathers and obdurate donkeys. Whether he is beguiling American university students with seemingly preposterous snake stories or dealing with the tragic loss of his first child, Ajami?s humor and emotion translate universally. The Book of Generations ends with a soliloquy on a possible future in which he sees himself alone in the world, musing on the necessity of inventing… [detailed...]

Description: Have you ever wondered if one day Windows 2028 might just know what you`re thinking and type it?

The Book of Imaginary Media explores the persistent idea that technology may one day succeed where no human has, not only in space or in nature, but also in interpersonal communication. Building on insights from media archeology, Siegfried Zielinski, Bruce Sterling, Erkki Huhtamo and Timothy Druckrey spin a web of associations between the fantasy machines of Athanasius Kircher, the mania of stereoscopy and `dead` media. Edwin Carels and Zoe Beloff descend into the cinematographic caverns of spiritualism and the iconography of death, and renowned cartoonists including Ben Katchor depict their own visionary media fantasies. On the enclosd DVD, artist Peter Blegvad provides hilarious commentary in a son et lumiere version of his On Imaginary Media. [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionThe Book of Lancelot is a study of the highly intriguing Middle Dutch Lancelot Compilation, a collection of ten Arthurian verse romances, compiled around 1320. Although the compilation is one of the most important Middle Dutch works, and has important implications for Arthurian studies, it is not well-known outside the Low Countries. This monograph, the first full-length English study of the compilation, aims to bring it to a wider audience, analysing the Middle Dutch work and comparing it to French narrative cycles, Thomas Malory`s Morte Darthur, and Ulrich Fuetrer`s Buch der Abenteuer. The book consists of five chapters. The introductory chapter deals with the study of cyclicity, the literary context of the Lancelot Compilation, and the manuscript tradition. In the following three chapters the ten romances are studied one by one. Each analysis consists of two parts: a description of the compiler`s source and a survey of his interventions. In the fifth and last… [detailed...]
