Sinopsis

In "Irish Nationality," Alice Stopford Green eloquently explores the complex interplay of history, culture, and identity that has shaped Ireland's national consciousness. This work is characterized by Green's distinctive literary style, which blends meticulous historical analysis with a passionate narrative voice. Written during the late 19th century, a time marked by rising nationalist sentiments and political upheaval in Ireland, Green's text serves both as a scholarly examination and a heartfelt plea for the recognition of Ireland's unique cultural heritage amid British dominance. Alice Stopford Green was an influential historian, political activist, and an early advocate for Irish independence. Born into an Anglo-Irish family, her deep-seated love for her homeland's history and culture compelled her to address the disparities in how Irish identity was perceived and understood. Her personal experiences, coupled with a commitment to social justice, informed her scholarly pursuits and her fervent desire to articulate a vision of an independent Ireland that was both historically rooted and vibrantly future-focused. "Irish Nationality" is an essential read for anyone interested in Irish history, nationalism, and the arts. Green's incisive insights and heartfelt arguments resonate with contemporary discussions on identity and sovereignty, making this book pivotal for scholars and general readers alike.

These pieces on Eastern methods of inner training and realisation are not intended as theoretical instruction or entertainment. They all point to actual practice in life and hint at deeper practice. 
The title of the book Jewels from the Indra Net refers to the fabled net of the god Indra of which the strands have a jewel of truth at each junction. The jewels reflect each other so that each one has deeper and deeper meanings in it. 
The pieces are from a variety of traditions, some of them being based on original translations of little known Sanskrit or Japanese texts. Others come from observation or personal experience and hopefully will reflect to the reader some further gleams from the Indra Net. 
The fundamental training is mind control and meditation which in the end have to become one pointed. Allusions to them will be found in several places and will be recognised by those who are approaching that level. Some longer pieces have been put at the beginning to give a survey of some main points.

The Life Model is a unifying approach to ministries of counseling, recovery, pastoral care, prayer ministry, deliverance, inner healing, child rearing, body life and health. Substance abuse recovery programs internationally are guided by the Life Model's five principles. Because the Life Model develops strong maturity, it is widely used as a church model, particularly where people must face suffering. Missions have adopted the Life Model for restoring hurt missionary children. Almost every major ministry dealing with trauma and abuse in the USA uses the Life Model as part of their teaching. This new version now includes study questions at the end of each chapter as well as many other bonuses. Written by James Friesen, E James Wilder, Anne Bierling, Rick Koepcke, and Maribeth Poole.

The second in an uproarious, sardonic and incisive look through English history. In this volume, we discover the actions of the Normans and King Richard, giving clear reasons why we history should hold them in nothing but contempt. It also covers the signing of the Magna Carta, the first bill of rights in England, which came about because a powerless king tried to go to war, realised that he had no-one behind him, and was bullied into signing in order to not simply be executed. 
Covers: 
William The Conqueror, and the thugs and mercenaries who bought titles and became England's gentry. 
William Rufus, and his utterly ridiculous death. 
Henry The First, Surnamed Beauclerc, his conquest of Normandy, and death from a finger wound. 
Stephen. 
Henry The Second, Surnamed Plantagenet, and his constant battles with both the church and his own family. 
Richard The First, Surnamed Cour De Lion, and how truly awful he was in every respect. 
John, Surnamed Sansterre, Or Lackland, and how tried to lead an army that deserted him and was forced into signing the Magna Carta.

A vibrant account of how measurement has invisibly shaped our world, from ancient civilizations to the modern day. 
 
 
 
From the cubit to the kilogram, the humble inch to the speed of light, measurement is a powerful tool that humans invented to make sense of the world. In this revelatory work of science and social history, James Vincent dives into its hidden world, taking listeners from ancient Egypt, where measuring the annual depth of the Nile was an essential task, to the intellectual origins of the metric system in the French Revolution, and from the surprisingly animated rivalry between metric and imperial, to our current age of the "quantified self." At every turn, Vincent is keenly attuned to the political consequences of measurement, exploring how it has also been used as a tool for oppression and control. 
 
 
 
Beyond Measure reveals how measurement is not only deeply entwined with our experience of the world, but also how its history encompasses and shapes the human quest for knowledge.
