A brother and a sister made a pact before they were born... When John Edward Saetveit died right after graduating from college, his older sister, Marnah, was understandably devastated. How could such a beautiful being like her dear brother have been taken so young? It made no sense. But it had to be. This was part of their pact. John agreed to die early so that he could plan, from the world of Spirit, events for his sister to experience. In turn, Marnah agreed to be the one to live here on earth to learn from John's planned events and ultimately share everything she learned about Spirit with you in this book. For years, John and Marnah have been communicating across the veil. In fact, they wrote this book together! Here, they offer proof that we are eternal beings. This is a secret that has been kept from us for millennia. Death may not be what you think it is. The truth is, we can never die. While we do live in a physical body, we are truly Spirit. We are eternal spiritual beings which means that we are much more powerful than we can imagine. This remarkable story will inspire you to live fully, to reach out to the world of Spirit, and to know that you are not alone—ever—as you embark on your life's journey.

In his comprehensive work, "Supplement to the Catalogue of Seals and Whales in the British Museum," John Edward Gray meticulously expands upon the extant collections of marine mammals, providing an analytical yet accessible overview of their classifications, characteristics, and ecological significance. Gray employs a systematic approach, embedding his descriptions within the broader context of 19th-century natural history, a period marked by rigorous scientific inquiry and increasing interest in biodiversity. His literary style combines detailed observation with a passion for taxonomy, aiming to bridge the gap between professional study and popular understanding, thus contributing richly to the canon of marine biology literature. John Edward Gray, an eminent naturalist and curator at the British Museum, was pivotal in the advancement of zoological knowledge during a transformative era in science. His lifelong dedication to the study of marine organisms was shaped by a background that combined field observations with museum collections, leading him to recognize the importance of comprehensive documentation. Gray's commitment to accuracy and detail reflects not only his own expertise but also the intellectual currents of his time, which encouraged a synthesis of observational and empirical data. This supplement is essential reading for both scholars and enthusiasts of marine biology. Gray'Äôs work not only enhances the understanding of seals and whales but also serves as a historical document illuminating the methodologies of a bygone era. By engaging with Gray's findings, readers will gain deeper insights into the evolution of marine mammal study and a renewed appreciation for the biodiversity that continues to captivate scientists and nature lovers alike.

In "Little Gidding and its Inmates in the Time of King Charles I: With an Account of the Harmonies," John Edward Acland explores the intricate web of social, religious, and artistic life at the renowned Little Gidding community. Drawing from historical records and contemporaneous writings, Acland weaves a narrative rich in detail, revealing how this Anglican sanctuary became a site of intellectual and spiritual refuge during a turbulent era in English history. His literary style melds anecdotal evidence with scholarly analysis, offering readers not just a historical account, but a vivid portrayal of the ideals and struggles that shaped the values of the 17th century. John Edward Acland, a noted historian and scholar of early modern England, was deeply influenced by his own background in Puritan thought and the socio-political currents of his time. His academic pursuits often intersected with an interest in the intersection of spirituality and scholarship. Acland's own experiences in the broader cultural landscape of England likely provided the impetus for his meticulous examination of Little Gidding, a notable example of a spiritual community striving for harmony amidst societal discord. This book is a vital read for anyone interested in the nuanced interplay between faith, art, and societal change during the English Civil War. Acland's insightful analysis not only broadens our understanding of Little Gidding but also invites us to consider the broader implications of such communities within the tapestry of English history. It is a must-read for historians, theologians, and literary enthusiasts alike.

Already known for his works of speculative fiction, author John Edward Lawson uses Discouraging at Best to take a look at the "real" world. On the pages within are five interlinked tales that, when pieced together, paint a panorama of apathy, greed, and manipulation. We follow the self-inflicted plight of working-class families and their efforts to step on others in the race to get ahead. We watch the petty wars of Nobel laureates. We become immersed in the minds of those caught in an ankle-biters rebellion. We are drawn into the intrigues and incompetence of those pulling the strings at the highest level of government. And, ultimately, we wonder: why? Here the absurdity of the mundane expands exponentially creating a tidal wave that sweeps reason away. For those who enjoy satire, bizarro literature, or a good old-fashioned slap to the senses, Discouraging at Best offers extra helpings of each. "The content of the stories moves from profoundly disturbing to surrealistically hysterical, giving the book a manic texture...John Edward Lawson has written a powerful work with Discouraging at Best. Its stories are strong enough to stand on their own, but when taken in the thematic context of the rest of the book, they reveal added levels of meaning. Raw Dog Screaming Press has a real winner on their hands — a disturbing, thought-provoking, wildly humorous book. Highly recommended." —Jeff Burk for The Dream People "A genuinely funny (yet serious) collection, demonstrating that satire is indeed the vital blood of bizarro fiction; and it should be read by anyone who shares the opinion that America is a ship of fools that is slowly sinking, and all one can do is sigh and laugh at the sight of its going down, disheartened but amused." —Bust Down the Door and Eat All the Chickens "Providing the reader with a mosaic-like narrative comprised of different voices and perspectives, Lawson’s approach is both imaginative and hilarious in its pairings, juxtapositions, and contrasts....Discouraging at Best is an accomplished and enjoyable read. A fabulous introduction to John Edward Lawson’s work as well as a treat for long-time fans, these stories are stylistically innovative and engaging. Highly recommended." —Midwest Book Review

The Tornado gives account of one of the world’s most terrifying natural disasters. Twisters have left their wake of freakish consequences throughout the United States and the world, and The Tornado vividly describes some of the most bizarre from around the country—houseboats sailing through the air; cars flown to a landing half a cornfield away; an entire house lifted and demolished, leaving only a divan holding the uninjured family. The most detailed description of a tornado and the violence it can bring comes from the author’s focus on the tragedy of one American town in 1953. John Edward Weems was an eyewitness reporter of a funnel that hit Waco, Texas, on May 11 of that year. In gripping narrative, he portrays the events of that day: a man clinging to a guard rail while a mailbox, plate glass, bricks, and assorted debris whizzed past his head; automobiles rolling end on end down the street; buildings falling like blocks knocked down by an angry child; a movie theater crumbling on the terrified patrons. When the storm had passed, 114 people were dead and hundreds injured; property damage ran in the tens of millions of dollars. Research in news reports, government weather documents, and books flesh out this account, which Pulitzer-prize winner Annie Dillard called “wonderfully exciting. It is full of people, and the thousands of details that make up their lives—and deaths. [It is] a story of enormous power.” John Banta, writing in the Waco Tribune-Herald, described it as “a gripping story of human drama and tragedy.” Kirkus Reviews said, “. . . the events still chill face to face with a power that defies reason.” Royalties from the sale of The Tornado will benefit the book fund of the Waco-McLennan County Public Library.

No one would expect Cassandra Crowley¿s horrific car accident on a stormy Halloween night to happen in front of St. Anthony¿s churchyard. Nor would they expect it to result in a love triangle.

This lively, provocative text presents a new way to understand friendship. Professor John Terrell argues that the ability to make friends is an evolved human trait not unlike our ability to walk upright on two legs or our capacity for speech and complex abstract reasoning. Terrell charts how this trait has evolved by investigating two unique functions of the human brain: the ability to remake the outside world to suit our collective needs, and our capacity to escape into our own inner thoughts and imagine how things might and ought to be. The text is richly illustrated and written in an engaging style, and will appeal to students, scholars, and general readers interested in anthropology, evolutionary and cognitive science, and psychology more broadly.

This second volume completes a critical history of the social, political, and theoretical forces behind Marxian economics--the only work in English to offer such comprehensive treatment. Beginning with Marxian analyses of the Great Depression and Stalinism, it explores the theories developed to explain the "long boom" in Western capitalism after the Second World War. Later chapters deal with post-Leninist theories of imperialism and continuing controversies in value theory and the theory of exploitation. After outlining recent work on the "second slump," the integration of rational-choice theory into Marxism, and the political economy of socialism, the book concludes with a review and evaluation of Marxian theory over the whole period since Marx's death. Praise for the first volume: "Howard and King have done an excellent job... One comes away with the impression of Marxian economics being a vibrant subject, relevant to the problems of these times and useful in practical matters."--Meghnad Desai, The Times Higher Education Supplement Originally published in 1992. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.

Learn how gay men use Internet technologies to connect with others sharing their erotic desires and to forge affirming communities online! Getting It On Online: Cyberspace, Gay Male Sexuality, and Embodied Identity examines the online embodied experiences of gay men. At once scholarly and sensual, this unique book is the result of a three-year ethnographic study chronicling the activities on three distinct social scenes in the world of Internet Relay Chat (IRC)virtual spaces constructed by gay men for the erotic exploration of the male body. Examining the vital role the body plays in defining these online spaces offers insight into how gay men negotiate their identities through emerging communication technologies. The author combines a critical look at the role of the body in cyberspace with candid accounts of his own online experiences to challenge conventional views on sex, sexuality, and embodied identity. Getting It On Online provides an inside look at three specific online communitiesgaychub (a community celebrating male obesity), gaymuscle (a community formulated around images of the muscular male body), and gaymusclebears (a space representing the erotic convergence of the obese and muscular male bodies emerging out of the gay male bear subculture)in an effort to unsettle those models of beauty and the erotic depicted in more mainstream media. The book demonstrates how the social position of these men in the physical world in regards to age, race, gender, class, and physical beauty influences their online experiences. Far from a realm of bodiless exultation, Getting It On Online illustrates how the flesh remains very much present in cyberspace. Getting It On Online examines topics such as: why people chat online the history of IRC (Internet Relay Chat) how people construct their identities in cyberspace how some online spaces function like virtual gay bars the concept of online disembodiment the role the body plays in online social relations the future of online communication ethnographic research in cyberspace mediated images of the male body and the gay male beauty myth and much more! Getting It On Online: Cyberspace, Gay Male Sexuality, and Embodied Identity is an essential resource for anthropologists, sociologists, and psychologists; academics working in gender studies, queer theory, cultural studies, and cyber-culture studies; and anyone interested in gay and lesbian issues and/or cyberspace.

Originally published in 1966, this volume reappraises the educational philosophy of Comenius. Until recently the attention given to Comenius and his work concentrated on a narrow interpretation of his pedagogy which played down his pansophic theory. In the second half of the nineteenth century Germany led the way in pedagogical study and Comenius was widely accepted as having laid the foundations of a science of education. The emergence of education as an academic subject in England and the USA led to a considerable interest in the history of educational ideas and Comenius’ work.

A novel of metaphysical suspense traces the ultimate confrontation between good and evil as it unfolds on both the Earthly plane and the Other Side.

This book examines the ways in which selfhood and cultural solidarity came to be understood and lived as historical identities during the first half of the nineteenth century. It's focus is on the Prussian capital- Berlin- and on the remarkable groups of artists and thinkers- Karl Friedrich Schinkel, Felix Mendelssohn, Jacob Grimm, Friedrich Karl von Savigny and Leopold von Ranke-who became associated in 1840 with the cultural agenda of a regime that hoped to forge solidarity among its subjects by encouraging identification with a constructed public memory. The book emphasizes both the developmental phases and the inner tensions of the program for "becoming historical" that was publicly articulated in 1840.

The book begins by focusing on Cambridge Growth, Distribution and Capital theory and early post Keynesian thought in the USA. The failure of post-Keynesian theory to supplant the neo-classical paradigm inthe 1970s is also discussed, alongwith an overview of post-Keynesian thinking in other countries. The book then deals with the search for coherence between various strands of post-Keynesian thought and other schools of economic thought. The author concludes by assessing the progress made by post-Keynesian economics since 1936 and considers several possible alternative futures for the post-Keynesians.

This handbook provides a concise overview of physiology facts and concepts crucial for the study of medicine. Small enough to be carried in a coat pocket, this guide succeeds in distilling huge amounts of information from the parent text into small, digestible concepts.
