A History of England - Illustrated Edition - 1902

Charles Oman

Synopsis

In the dim dawn of history our island was a land of wood and marsh, broken here and there by patches of open ground, and pierced by occasional track-ways, which threaded the forest and circled round the edges of the impassable fen. The inhabited districts of the country were not the fertile river-bottoms where population grew thick in after-days; these were in primitive times nothing but sedgy water-meadows or matted thickets. Men dwelt rather on the thinly wooded upland, where, if the soil was poor, it was at any rate free from the tangled undergrowth that covered the valleys. It was on the chalk ridges of Kent or Wilts, or the moorland hills of Yorkshire or Cornwall, rather than on the brink of the Thames or Severn, that the British tribes clustered thick. Down by the rivers there were but small settlements of hunters and fishers perched on some knoll that rose above the brake and the rushes.

Vrnda Devi The Beautiful Yoga Of...

Sripad Jaganantha Das

"Dear Tulsī, you are much beloved by Lord Kṛṣṇa because your leaves are always at His lotus feet. Dear mālatī flower, dear mallikā flower, dear jasmine flower, all of you must have been touched by Kṛṣṇa while He was passing this way after giving us transcendental enjoyment. Have you seen Mādhava passing this way? O mango trees, O trees of jackfruit, O pear trees and āsana trees! O blackberries and bael trees and trees of the kadamba flower—you are all very pious trees to be living on the bank of the Yamunā. Kṛṣṇa must have passed through this way. Will you kindly let us know which way He has gone?" The Srimad Bhagavatam

Tulsi Devi (Vrinda - Holy Basil) is a sacred plant in Hindu belief. She is regarded as an earthly manifestation of the goddess Srimati Tulsi Devi, and is as an avatar of Lakshmi, and thus the consort of Vishnu. The offering of her leaves is mandatory in the worship of Bhagavan Sri Krishna. Tulsi is regarded as the holiest of all plants and a bridge between heaven and earth. A traditional prayer teaches the creator Brahma and the Ganges resides in her branches, all holy pilgrimage centers in her roots, all deities are in her stem and leaves, and the Vedas are found in the upper part of her branches. The Tulsi herb is a center of household devotion, and is often referred to as the "women's deity" and "a symbol of wifehood and motherhood." Vaishnavites consider it as the manifestation of god in the plant kingdom. Tulsi Devi is one of Krishna’s most intimate servants coming to bless us all with extraordinary fortune. She has delicate purple and green leaves, flower tassels (like miniature temple spires), and an arresting, sweet fragrance famous for attracting the minds of yogis to Krishna’s service via Bhakti Yoga. Tulasi’s wood is carved into the Japa beads on which devotees chant Krishna’s holy name.

From Stormy Seas to Plymouth's...

Dr. David K. Ewen

The topic of the first Thanksgiving is exciting to read about and learn because it offers a captivating and adventurous tale of courage, resilience, and cultural encounters. The daring journey of the Mayflower in 1620 sets the stage for an epic narrative as the Pilgrims face numerous challenges and overcome obstacles in their pursuit of religious freedom. The story of survival and cooperation between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag tribe, led by Chief Massasoit, adds a heartwarming dimension to the historical account, capturing the spirit of unity and gratitude.The vivid descriptions of the Pilgrims' journey, the treacherous storm, and their eventual settlement in Plymouth, Massachusetts, paint a vivid picture of the hardships they endured. The first winter's unforgiving nature and the subsequent assistance from the Wampanoag create a sense of anticipation and emotional depth in the narrative. The eventual celebration of a triumphant three-day feast of thanksgiving not only marks the origin of Thanksgiving but also highlights the power of unity and mutual support in the face of adversity.Moreover, the historical context of Thanksgiving and its evolution into a beloved holiday in modern times add layers of complexity and relevance to the topic. Learning about the challenges and conflicts that followed the initial harmony between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag encourages readers to engage in meaningful discussions about the impact of colonization and the importance of cultural understanding. The topic invites readers to reflect on the true essence of Thanksgiving, embracing themes of gratitude, empathy, and inclusivity.Overall, the captivating tale of the first Thanksgiving weaves together history, culture, and human experiences, making it a compelling and enriching subject to explore. By delving into this narrative, readers gain insights into the interconnectedness of the past and present, and the significance of fostering a more inclusive and equitable future.

Quick Fixes - Drugs in America...

Benjamin Y. Fong

Americans are in the midst of a world-historic drug binge. Opiates, amphetamines, benzodiazepines, marijuana, antidepressants, antipsychotics—across the board, consumption has shot up in the twenty-first century. At the same time, the United States is home to the largest prison system in the world, justified in part by a now zombified "war" on drugs. How did we get here? 
 
 
 
Quick Fixes is a look at American society through the lens of its pharmacological crutches. Though particularly acute in recent decades, the contradiction between America's passionate love and intense hatred for drugs has been one of its defining characteristics for over a century. 
 
 
 
Through nine chapters, each devoted to the modern history of a drug or class of drugs, Fong examines Americans' fraught relationship with psychoactive substances. As society changes it produces different forms of stress, isolation, and alienation. These changes, in turn, shape the sorts of drugs society chooses. 
 
 
 
By laying out the histories, functions, and experiences of our chemical comforts, the hope is to help answer that ever perplexing question: what does it mean to be an American?
