The Oracle

2005 y.
Publisher: Pan Books
Description: November 1973. Professor Periklis Harvatis, working alone and late into the night on an important archaeological dig, unearths a magnificent golden vase upon which the enigmatic images of a long-lost second Odyssey are engraved, showing the mystery of Ulysses` final voyage. But in the bleak chamber where he finds it he sees something so frightening that less than seven hours later, a broken man, he is dead… but not before he has ensured the safety of the vase. Ten years on, and a series of violently gruesome deaths connected to the rape and murder during the student protests in Athens of a beautiful Greek woman, on the same night as Professor Harvatis`s discovery, is perplexing the authorities. Each atrocity is accompanied by a dire quotation from the ancient sources, exposing an ingeniously cruel mind. Who is behind these murders? How are these two events connected? And what is the significance of the age-old prophecy of the Odyssey? After conquering the ancient… [detailed...]

The Oracle`s Queen (Tamir Trilogy, Book 3)

2006 y.
Publisher: Spectra
Description: Under the rule of a usurper king, the realm of Skala has suffered famine, plague, and invasion. But now the time for the rightful heir has come, a return to the tradition of warrior queens. And the Lightbearer’s prophecy is to be upheld at last: so long as a daughter of the royal line defends and rules, Skala will never be subjugated. Now a mystical fire has burned away the male body known as Prince Tobin, revealing Princess Tamir, a girl on the verge of womanhood–and a queen ready to claim her birthright after a life in disguise under the protection of wizards and witches. But will her people, her army–and the friends she was forced to deceive–accept her? Worse, will the crown’s rival heir, friend to Tobin, turn foe to Tamir, igniting civil war in a fierce battle for Skala? [detailed...]

The Oral Stage: A Comparative Study of Franco-Ontarian Drama from 1970 to 2000

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book examines the relationship between orality and Franco-Ontarian theatre and more specifically the way in which oral practices (such as traditional story-telling) have been adapted and transformed by Franco-Ontarian playwrights, actors and directors, to produce a specific poetics of performance that evolved exclusively within Franco-Ontarian society between its theatre`s genesis in 1970 to 2000. The corpus is drawn from those plays written and/or performed which exhibit characteristics of oral culture, as defined by the works of such scolars as Mercia Eliade, Arnold van Gennep, Richard Turner, Walter Ong, Richard Bauman and others. Written in English, the book also provides a sound introduction to this important facet of French-Canadian literature that may otherwise be overlooked. [detailed...]

The Oral and the Written in Early Islam (Routledge Studies in Middle Eatern Literatures)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Over the last few decades a number of books have appeared on aspects of the written and the oral within pre-modern Islamic societies and their intellectual ideas. Traditionally, these books have focused mainly on the religious dimensions, on literature and the development of genres, on the transmission of scholarly ideas and practices, or the intellectual foundations of the Islamic sciences. To date, however, there are no books available in English which provide an authoritative, reasoned and comprehensive overview of how written and the oral interacted in early Islam. The Oral and Written in Early Islam fills this void and investigates the diverged and received cultural articulation among Muslims and within Muslim intellectual life of the early centuries of the Islamic Era which includes the seventh to ninth centuries of the Common Era. This volume is a translation of six German articles by Professor Gregor Schoeler the majority of which have not been translated into… [detailed...]

The Orange Bowl: A Photographic Journey &, Architectural Survey

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The Orange Bowl Stadium. Put to rest and carted away in 2008. It was an example of a bygone era in sports stadium architecture, when simple design provided a basic function. A place just for football born in the late 1930`s. The book is not about football so much, but a visual memory for the scores of fans who may not have realized the last game attended would be their final time in the stadium. The first chapter revisits my family`s photos from the 1939 game to the 1970`s. Chapter Two begins with the condition of the stadium in January, 2008, and leads to the demolition period. Finally, a chapter of aerial images compiled through the years completes the story. I attempted to capture many of the seat locations and the view to the field. Individual fine art prints are available from any image in the book. The architectural survey was completed in January, 2008, and demolition finished in late spring. [detailed...]

The Orange Girl

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionAt fifteen, Georg comes upon a letter written to him by his dying father, to be read when he is old enough. Their two voices make a fascinating dialogue as Georg gets to know the father he can barely remember and is challenged by him to answer some profound questions. The central mystery of the book is the story of the Orange Girl, the elusive young woman for whom Georg`s father searches in Orso and Seville, and who Georg finally realises is his mother. THE ORANGE GIRL is short and simply constructed, but it takes on some big questions about the meaning of life and the universe. It is imbued with the sense of awe and wonder that is Jostein Gaarder`s hallmark. Although it is intended for teenagers, it is written in the unmistakable Gaarder way that reaches readers of every generation. [detailed...]

Description: `The knowledge which is yours is innate knowledge beyond human power to acquire in one short span of life,` said Jules Thessaly, `it is the result of many lives devoted to study. For the task you are about to take up you have been preparing since the world was young. All is ordained, even your presence in this room tonight -- and mine. Where last did we meet -- where first? Perhaps in Rome, perhaps Atlantis, but assuredly we met and we meet again to fulfill a compact made in the dawn of time. I, too, am a student of the recondite, and it may be that some of the fragments of truth which I have collected will help you to force recognition of the light from a world plunged in darkness.` `In utter darkness,` murmured Paul. Thessaly advanced, leaning forward across the table. `Tonight, a new Star is born in the West -- and an hour will come when the eyes of all men must be raised to it.` [detailed...]

The Order of Ornament, The Structure of Style : Theoretical Foundations of Modern Art and Architecture

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe Order of Ornament, the Structure of Style examines the emergence of modernism in Central European art, architecture and design, and its relationship to late nineteenth-century theories of style advanced by John Ruskin, Owen Jones, Gottfried Semper, and Alois Riegl. In addition to basing their investigations of artistic development on works produced in all periods and cultures, these theorists looked to natural science and linguistic studies for models with which to order their studies. They suggested to artists and architects that ornamental motifs and compositions from remote cultures and periods could furnish the means to create rational designs, express creative processes, and produce new perceptual possibilities for both the constructed facade and the painted surface. Debra Schafter`s study thus positions nineteenth-century visual aesthetics within a broader intellectual context that is philosophical and scientific, while contributing to a new understanding of… [detailed...]

Roger E. Backhouse
The Ordinary Business of Life: A History of Economics from the Ancient World to the Twenty-First Century

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: In some of Western culture`s earliest writings, Hesiod defined the basic economic problem as one of scarce resources, a view still held by most economists. Diocletian tried to save the falling Roman Empire with wage and price fixes--a strategy that has not gone entirely out of style. And just as they did in the late nineteenth century, thinkers trained in physics renovated economic inquiry in the late twentieth century. Taking us from Homer to the frontiers of game theory, this book presents an engrossing history of economics, what Alfred Marshall called `the study of mankind in the ordinary business of life.` While some regard economics as a modern invention, Roger Backhouse shows that economic ideas were influential even in antiquity--and that the origins of contemporary economic thought can be traced back to the ancients. He reveals the genesis of what we have come to think of as economic theory and shows the remarkable but seldom explored impact of economics, natural science,… [detailed...]

The Organ and its Music in German-Jewish Culture

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The Organ and Its Music in German-Jewish Culture examines the powerful but often overlooked presence of the organ in synagogue music and the musical life of German-speaking Jewish communities. Tina Fruhauf expertly chronicles the history of the organ in Jewish culture from the earliest references in the Talmud through the 19th century, when it had established a firm and lasting presence in Jewish sacred and secular spaces in central Europe. Fruhauf demonstrates how the introduction of the organ into German synagogues was part of the significant changes which took place in Judaism after the Enlightenment, and posits the organ as a symbol of the division of the Jewish community into Orthodox and Reform congregations. Newly composed organ music for Jewish liturgy after this division became part of a cross-cultural music tradition in 19th and 20th century Germany, when a specific style of organ music developed which combined elements of Western and Jewish cultures.
