Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book was part of a graduate school project for an English literature class. The purpose of this volume is to provide a sampling of essays debating the French Revolution. By providing a selection representing different ages, economic backgrounds and sex it is possible to see how these characteristics may, or may not, have influenced the respective writer's position.The essayist chosen included the elder statesmen, Richard Price and Edmund Burke, the middle-aged Thomas Paine and Arthur Young, the younger William Godwin and William Blake, and the women Mary Wollstonecraft and Helen Maria Williams. The decision was made to opt for essays from the most well-known essayists as opposed to the more obscure writer's whose opinions may well have been just as valid. The available essays from Price, Burke, Paine, Young, Godwin and Wollstonecraft are quite lengthy. This necessitated selecting excerpts that would illustrate both the respective writer's style and political leanings.The essays were written from the beginning of the revolt and ending prior to the Reign of Terror under Robespierre. The opinions of many, though not all, of the writers shifted as the horrors of the end stages of the revolution became known.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Not all trips to paradise are smooth sailing. 'Quest on the Thorny Path' is the second book of the Quest series. Leave the laid back cruiser hangout of Georgetown, Bahamas behind and hit the big ocean waves for the first time. From Georgetown we take the path less traveled through the deserted out islands of the Bahamas. After a short stay in the Turks and Caicos we follow a route along the north coast of Hispaniola that Christopher Columbus appropriately named the 'Thorny Path'. The book is a true adventure about overcoming fear and dangerous challenges in one of sailing's harshest proving grounds.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Fen Dathrod is a proud young man bullied in Prison School to the point of deep self-doubt. He's been troubled by noticing oddities around him -- something is off on Dactoes -- anomalies in the unpredictable, cruel or cowed behavior of his schoolmates. To make matters worse, he's the last of a Clan held in utter contempt and lowered to bottom status for reasons that just don't add up. Fen is a mass of contradictions, keenly bright but awkward, insatiably curious but reluctant to take action, passionate about uncovering secrets but terrorized by what these secrets might reveal. He's certainly an unlikely candidate to take on any CHALLENGE, leave alone one that might determine what will happen on a planet held in numbing thrall. Then there's the spunky and intriguing Charin, a beauty who hardly wants to be seen with Fen -- quite another challenge indeed. How will he pull it off WILL he pull it off Bit by bit circumstances force Fen into decisions that he has to follow, joined by a motley crew of oddball rejects in this desperate mission, a mission to uncover the truth -- and turn frightening secrets into a chance for freedom. The surprises on the way will keep you turning pages.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Rocca San Germano, quattromilaseicento anime. Qui non è mai successo niente.Un uomo si ferma su una strada di provincia all'alba e vede uno sconosciuto camminare con una donna insanguinata fra le braccia. Chiama i carabinieri, poi va a fare colazione al bar e se ne dimentica in dieci minuti. Venticinque anni dopo, allo stesso chilometro e alla stessa ora, sarà lui l'uomo con la donna in braccio.In mezzo ci sono un negozio di telefonia che apre alle nove, una moglie che dirige il coro del paese, un figlio, una discoteca sulla provinciale, e una domenica dopo l'altra sul corso, tutti vestiti bene, tutti che si salutano.Sei voci raccontano venticinque anni di questo paese. Un padre, un figlio, una comandante dei carabinieri che non riesce a chiudere nemmeno un fascicolo su chi conta, una donna che vive in una capanna nel bosco e si è cucita una giacca di corteccia per non farsi sparare, e un uomo di sessantotto anni con due locali e un'agenzia immobiliare, di cui in paese non si parla mai.Nessuno dice mai chi è parente di chi. Ci sono i cognomi e ci sono le date: bastano.Provincia perbene non racconta come nasce un mostro. Racconta una cosa più scomoda: che si può diventarlo senza smettere un solo giorno di essere una brava persona agli occhi di tutti - e che il paese, che sa tutto di tutti, quel giorno lì non lo saprà mai.Perché sapere costa poco. È il dire che non ci si può permettere.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The Vedas cannot be comprehended well until and unless the Rishi (seer) and Devata (subject matter) is properly understood. In the Vedas, we find that a particular subject was visualized and encoded in the form of Mantras by more than one seer. Under the circumstances, it would be interesting to conduct a comparative and critical study of the nature and types of the various subject matters visualized by various seers from their various subjective angles. This comparative analysis would provide a clear-cut picture as to what extent the various seers have differed or agreed in their visualization of a particular phenomenon (subject matter). This study would also provide a great help in deducing the actual intention of the original seer while interpreting the Vedic texts. In addition, the comparative picture of the various seers and deities would also help solve the various riddles impregnating the actual names of the seers, their surnames and the deities visualized by them. To enable the readers and the researchers to carry out such comparative studies regarding the seers and their respective visualizations, 'Concordance of Vedic Mantras as per Rishi and Devata' has been prepared. This concordance is a ready reference to all the seers and who worked on various subjects along with the mantras revealed to them deity-wise as compiled in the four major Samhitas of the Vedas. This concordance has listed 796 seers and the Deities visualised by them. in the beginning of the origin of the human civilization on this globe.…
