Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The Adirondack Mountains at Saranac Lake, New York, were considered the ideal climate to cure Tuberculosis. The cold was beneficial and the pine-scented air that distinguished the region was believed to have special therapeutic value. The sick lay out on porches in patient hope or resigned despair and even those who were cured continued the practice, convinced it had delivered them and would prevent a relapse. The houses in town were a testimony to this belief, rows of porches across their fronts, each holding a bed. At the sanatorium, the sick were urged onto their porches, taught to lie prone and let the pure air help heal the lesions in their lungs. No image was more evocative than a bed on a porch.The author spent two years at Trudeau Sanatorium in Saranac Lake and was one of the last patients to undergo the lengthy treatment believed at that time to be the only way to cure Tuberculosis, the miracle drug, Isoniazid. For some the cure came too late. No longer was tuberculosis communicable; no longer were families and loved ones torn apart, but, for many the damage had already been done.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Prior to the atrocities of September 11, 2001, the inhumane treatment of women by the Taliban received sporadic media and academic coverage.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In this book, Sister Angelita tells her story of those 15 years in Nigeria. Sister Angelita did all this missionary activity while constantly begging for prayers and financial support to carry on her work. Her love of God shines through in everything that Sister Angelita accomplished. During her worst tribulations, and there were many, her constant prayer was 'God is Good'. Indeed, each of the stories Angelita relates in her little book radiates her dependence on Divine Providence. The chapters show how God worked through her to ease the afflictions of body, soul, and spirit of the people she loved so much. Because of her, their lives became a little more bearable. This little dynamo of a person never takes 'no' for an answer. When the going gets tough, she works all the harder to accomplish her objectives. I know of no one with a more determined spirit. Sister Angelita and I have known each other for 45 years and this is my testimony to a woman of God who radiates the words of Jesus: 'Live in Me as I do in you . those who live in Me and I in them will bear much fruit.'

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A Syrian poet noted that, 'The world holds two classes of men - intelligent men without religion and religious men without intelligence.' A Nobel Prize winning physicist, Dr. Steven Weinberg said, 'Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.' Could they both be right Or is it possible that we could have a Christianity that is intelligible, believable, and credible In order for that to be true we would need to rescue our traditional notions and practice of the Christian faith from its ancient, fraudulent time warp. We need to help it remove itself from the cultural trance in which it exists, and the faulty beliefs which it holds. We continue to survive on and promote an ancient, discredited history of Jesus and the Church. The secular and Biblical Scholarship of the last 200 years has been largely ignored in today's Christian beliefs and practices. What we have today in Christianity is a distorted, disfigured and fraudulent hero of the Christian faith. We have numbed and parked our mental faculties regarding the historic knowledge of our religion, and the truthful, accurate, and proper exercise or practice of our religion. A Credible Christianity provides you with the best and latest scholarship, behavioral research, and psychological insight. Galileo, a hero of the Renaissance who was accused of sacrilege in his day said, 'I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forego their use.'.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Our ancestors did not always see beauty in the starkness of deserts, mountains, and polar wastes; that was the work of ages. In The Road to Egdon Heath (1999), Richard Bevis undertook to explain how and why this change - noted by Thomas Hardy in 1878 - came about. In Images of Liberty he picks up this story in the late nineteenth century and carries it into the present time. 'That the mid-1870s saw Thomas Hardy imagine Egdon Heath out of a few Dorset moors and present it as the modern standard of natural beauty; Charles Doughty go wandering with nomads in the Arabian desert; John Muir begin to write about his climbs in the Sierra Nevada; John Wesley Powell affirm the arid reality of the American West; and Herman Melville publish a long poem about the wilderness of Judaea while explorers were probing the polar oceans, is not likely to have been mere coincidence.' He finds that influences as diverse as Buddhism, industrial development, climate change, and tourism have shaped attitudes toward 'the Great,' and even its physical reality. Bevis concludes that the impulses that drove the pioneers to Hardy's 'chastened sublimity' have not passed away. 'Our horizons are still spacious, still liberating, and not unknowable.'.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'Behind the Man Behind the Badge' is a collection of short stories recounting what I did as the wife of a Special Agent in the Naval Criminal Investigative Service.

So, as a wife living in this environment, I had to find my own way in each new country where we were assigned.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book is about the unique educational experience of an African American segregated Catholic school in Mississippi from 1910 -1975.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In The Christ-Man Chronicles, Cooper-Giles posits a compelling argument for both clergy and politicians, and their social issues, which should manifest and morph into models of progressive change and enlightenment. This book chronicles somewhat the search for bin Laden and Al Qaeda, the 'War on Terror,' and the incidental attacks on Iraq in March 2003. The narrative also alludes to some reasons why there is much animosity and hatred toward America and some of its allies, especially so-called Israel, in the Muslim world. It affirms the double-standards, dubious, and often racist nature of America's government policies in both domestic and foreign affair: particularly, its arrogant imperialistic attitude in dealing with Third World countries. Nevertheless, Cooper-Giles proclaims that everyone has the conscious potent ability to become Christ-Men in their personal journey here on Earth with the discovery of one's 'divine' mission and purpose, and the eventual understanding of being the person that one is meant to be: this knowledge is gained by distinguishing the difference between the illusionists and the creative value-producers around us! Everyone should understand that they are made in the image of God, our Creator, as a distinct individual, who has a divine, a unique, and a separate soul-force different than anyone else on this planet.…
