Summary

In "History of the Cathedral Church of Wells," Edward A. Freeman intricately chronicles the architectural, religious, and sociopolitical evolution of one of England's most significant ecclesiastical structures. The narrative blends meticulous historical research with a lyrical prose style that reflects the grandeur of the Cathedral itself. Freeman's work is situated within the Victorian era's burgeoning interest in Gothic architecture and medieval history, serving as both a scholarly treatise and a celebration of the Cathedral's enduring legacy. He delves into the myriad influences that shaped the church, from its early foundations to its modern-day significance, harmonizing historical facts with evocative descriptions. Edward A. Freeman, a prominent 19th-century historian and advocate for the importance of a united historical narrative, imbues his writings with a sense of place and purpose. His scholarly background, bolstered by an interest in ecclesiastical history and the social climate of his time, provides a rich context for understanding the intricate relationship between religion and architecture. Freeman's insights on the interplay between historical continuity and change allow readers to appreciate not only the Cathedral's past but its role in shaping community identity. "History of the Cathedral Church of Wells" is recommended for anyone with an interest in architectural history, religious studies, or the medieval period. Freeman's thorough research, enhanced by his poetic sensibility, renders this volume both informative and engaging, inviting readers to experience the timeless beauty and historical weight of Wells Cathedral.

    By " assembling" some of the most fascinating figures in world history, Meeting of Minds provided a groundbreaking opportunity for audiences to be exposed to ideas by way of a medium not normally known for its intellectual vigor. Portrayed by actors, panelists engage in stimulating round-table discussions that were conducted like any other talk show but featured prominent influencers from bygone generations— not just philosophers and politicians, but poets, playwrights, and presidents. From activists and artists to international leaders— both famous and infamous— these conversations are unfailingly witty, thought-provoking, and genuinely entertaining.
An innovative series, Meeting of Minds remains one of the most delightful ways of gaining historical perspective ever devised, and these original soundtrack recordings capture the intellectual and spirited debates of the episodes hosted by Steve Allen. The panelists featured in this volume are Oliver Cromwell, the only ruler of England who was neither a king nor a queen, Daniel O'Connell— "The great Irish Liberator"— and Catherine the Great, empress of Russia for thirty years, describes her lifelong passion for her adopted country— and refuses to apologize for her more notorious passions. Though all three of these giants suffered ignominious treatment in death, their dramatic interactions offer an exciting climax to this intellectually stimulating series.

    Art History Volume 1 - Ancient Art

    The first volume of Élie Faure’s series History of Art takes the listener on a breathtaking journey to the origins of human imagination. This book traces the birth of the human gaze — from the Paleolithic caves to the colossal statues of Egypt, from Assyria’s winged bulls to the sunlit temples of Greece, and ultimately to Rome, the genius of stone and roads.   
As a poetic storyteller and visionary historian, Faure reveals that works of art are never mere decoration, but living systems of forces, where form unites with function and idea becomes flesh — art as a common language, the breath of peoples, the memory of the world.   
The reader moves through caves alive with bison, sun-baked pylons, friezes depicting Panathenaic processions, and Roman arenas where architecture becomes pure will — every page is a scene, every civilization a breath. This book/audiobook offers a sensitive and intellectual key to “see” more clearly: to understand, to love, to compare; to feel the secret correspondences between science, morality, and beauty — up to the Greek moment when man seems to harmonize nature and spirit. A lucid, lyrical epic that dazzles the mind and stirs the irresistible desire to listen further.

    An effective and inspiring guide to songwriting by prolific, iconic singer-songwriter Dar Williams.How to Write a Song That Matters is an invaluable guide to writing music by a woman who knows how to do it and do it well: iconic singer-songwriter, Dar Williams. For years now, Williams has led songwriting retreats for musicians, from beginners to professionals, in which she elevates the process of songwriting over the assessment of the product. This book makes those intimate experiences accessible for songwriters across the globe, gifting them with the insight Williams has gleaned from her decades of experience. First, it encourages songwriters to find something that inspires them and then to follow that inspiration, letting the clues of those first few notes or lines lead their narrative. Soon, the initial rhythms, the unique sounds of the melody, and/or specific vocabulary emerge, giving birth to a "voice" or a "world" that the song can exist in. As the writer proceeds, Williams encourages them to ask themselves: "Where did I go? Where did I REALLY go? What happened? What REALLY happened? What am I bringing back?" There are many other songwriting guides that hint to the reader that writing a "hit song" may be on the horizon if only the reader correctly follows the guide or program. In this book, however, Williams shows readers how to tap into their OWN creative process, using their psyches, their unique life experiences, and their muses to write the songs that they are meant to write. By focusing on the process of creating a song that matters, as opposed to producing a well-constructed "widget from a song factory," songwriters will be able to establish their own voice and use it to make meaningful music. Perfect for music lovers of all sorts who want to write songs, How to Write a Song That Matters is a one-of-a-kind-book that readers will turn to for guidance time and time again.
