Sinossi

In "The Deaf," Harry Best offers a profound exploration of the lived experiences of individuals navigating the complexities of a world primarily designed for the hearing. Employing a poignant, lyrical prose style, Best deftly intertwines personal narratives and sociocultural commentary, creating a tapestry that highlights both the challenges and triumphs of deafness. Set against the backdrop of contemporary society, the book delves into themes of identity, communication, and the often-unseen barriers faced by the deaf community, making it a vital contribution to both literary and social discourse. Harry Best, an acclaimed author known for his sensitivity and insight, draws upon his own experiences and extensive research in the field of deaf studies to craft this compelling narrative. His background in linguistics and advocacy for the deaf community underscores his commitment to authentic representation and understanding. Best's passion for bridging communication gaps stems from a lifelong appreciation for diverse forms of expression, stimulating readers to reevaluate their perceptions and prejudices. I recommend "The Deaf" to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding deafness, as it challenges assumptions and invites compassion. Best's masterful storytelling not only educates but also fosters empathy and connection, making this book an essential read for those interested in social justice, identity, and the power of the human experience.

Rousas John Rushdoony - A Brief...

Mark R. Rushdoony

In his Rousas John Rushdoony: A Brief History of the Life and Ministry of My Father, Mark Rushdoony offers an intimate account of one of the most influential—and controversial—Christian thinkers of the 20th century. Rather than a psychological biography or hagiography, this volume chronicles the facts of R. J. Rushdoony’s life, shaped by faith, conviction, and an uncompromising view of Christ’s lordship over all of life. 
From his Armenian roots—his family fleeing genocide—to his pioneering work as a missionary and eventual founding of the Chalcedon Foundation, Rushdoony’s life was marked by controversy, opposition, and quiet perseverance. Drawing from family history, personal memories, and previously unpublished materials—including private journals, photos, and legal transcripts—Mark lays bare not only the theological and cultural battles his father faced, but the personal cost of his commitment to teaching God’s Kingdom.

Kathryn Bridge

The vivid, personal accounts of four women who lived and travelled as settlers in early British Columbia "…a cloud passing away from the face of the moon revealed a band of wild horses bearing down upon us at a full gallop. As they came near and saw us they divided into two groups, passing by on either side. Had the moon not come out they would probably have become entangled in our tent ropes, and we should not have lived to tell the tale."—Violet Sillitoe, between Osoyoos and Penticton The women in this book were trailblazers. The frontiers they lived on were not only geographical but personal. As they left the drawing rooms of England and eastern Canada for new lives in the far West, social patterns were disrupted, and the status quo dissolved. On the wagon roads and river boats of nineteenth-century British Columbia, they found risks, opportunities and freedoms far beyond those familiar to their more settled contemporaries. By Snowshoe, Buckboard and Steamer tells four extraordinary stories of life on the unruly edge of empire. Winner of the 1998 BC Lieutenant Governor's Medal for Historical Writing.

A Fool's Wisdom - Science...

Steven A. Young

Attend to these words gentle soul, herein ye shall find a two-part alchemical discourse concerning the purity and veracity of scientific thought, separating the 'ugly truth' (science conspiracies) from the 'beautiful truth' (the secret art of Alchemy). 
Part One takes aim at the post-modern secular worldview of Scientific Materialism or Scientism, rebuking and revealing the fatal flaws inherent in its core beliefs and cosmology, as well as the various conspiracies and occult shenanigans underlying physics, chemistry and medicine. It is said that 'adventure is an attitude towards discomfort', and to the theorists, statists and sophists take heed, there may be some discomfort ahead, as the pillars upon which you stand will be systematically dismantled and debunked through a combination of wit, fierce logic and timeless wisdom. 
Part Two unveils the ancient Hermetic practice of Alchemy, also known as The Science of Transformation or The Art, a universal system of spiritual knowledge common to all mankind but hidden behind a mantle of domestic counter-intelligence and worthless academic theories. Alchemy is so empowering and enlightening that it is deemed unfit for public programming, and so it must be sought out by curious individuals who initiate themselves on the path. 
Scientism is the troll that guards the gates to the fountain of alchemical truth, and so it must be overcome before one can proceed to higher levels of knowledge. For the humble awakening souls and lovers of truth and wisdom, what awaits you in these pages is a treasure trove of philosophical gold so potent as to transform even the most asinine fool into a sage.

IULIA FARNESIA - Letters from a...

Roberta Mezzabarba

Giulia Farnese, a woman who traverses time to find, in this novel, her redemption. 
Her real story is tachat of a woman who goes far beyond the figure of Sponsa Christi as she was known throughout the world. 
The writer traces the profile of a strong woman who, once free from the trammels of a family that raised her to be obedient, rises from her ashes and the damnatio memoriæ to become the mater and the domina of the feud of Carbognano. 
With an absorbing prose, and based on an historical plot of true events, the author gives back to La Bella the dignity that historical documentation has always overlooked, preferring to chase after fifth century gossip.
