Sketch of Sir Daniel Wilson

Horatio Hale

Sinossi

Horatio Emmons Hale (1817-1896) was an American-Canadian ethnologist, philologist and businessman. He is known for his study of languages as a key for classifying ancient peoples and being able to trace their migrations.
Hale made many valuable contributions to the science of Ethnology, attracting attention particularly by his theory of the origin of the diversities of human languages and dialects.
When the United States Exploring Expedition was organized under Charles Wilkes, Hale was recommended, while yet an undergraduate, for the post of ethnologist and philologist. From 1838 to 1842, he worked with the expedition, visiting South America, Australasia, Polynesia, and North-western America, then known as Oregon Country. The Hale Passages of Puget Sound were named in recognition of his service to the expedition.
The Hale’s essay Sketch of Sir Daniel Wilson was published in December 1893 in the magazine Popular Science Monthly. It’s a biography of Sir Daniel Wilson (1816-1892), the great Scottish-born Canadian archaeologist and ethnologist, first President of the Federated University of Toronto, knighted in 1888 by Queen Victoria for his services to education in Canada.

The Classic of Filial Piety -...

Ivan Chen (translator)

For over two thousand years, this books has been the foundation of Chinese family life. Based on a series of conversations with Confucius, and supplemented by a series of story examples by an Emperor in the 11th Century, it is essential to understanding the nature and order of Chinese society. It speaks of how one should behave towards a senior such as one’s parents, elder brother or ruler, and the obligations that follow in the opposite direction. Written in 400BC, the Xiaojang is legendarily a dialogue between Confucius and Zeng Zi, a disciple who was well known for his filial piety.Since that time, it has been an essential tool of Chinese civilisation, often being the first book that Chinese children are given when they are able to read it. For Confucius and his disciples, family life is the foundation and cornerstone of society, and recognising the value and impact of family harmony on both the local and greater environments is crucial to stability and prosperity.SOME OPINIONS OF THE PRESSThe Athenaeum.--"We wish that there were more of them; they are dreamy, lifelike, and fascinating."Pall Mall Gazette.--"No translation of this important work has been made since the beginning of the eighteenth century."Manchester Courier.--"Worthy of close study by all who would penetrate to the depth of Eastern thought and feeling."The Scotsman.--" should not fail to please readers of the more studious sort."Southport Guardian.--"will find considerable favour with all Students of Eastern Literature and Eastern Philosophy."Bristol Mercury.--"We commend these little books to all who imagine that there is no knowledge worth having outside Europe and America."Field.--"Such books are valuable aids to the understanding of a far-off age and people, and have a great interest for the student of literature."

Living Your Unlived Life -...

Robert A. Johnson, Jerry Ruhl

The esteemed Jungian psychologist counsels on how to cope with feelings of failure or regret in the latter half of life and how to open to a more meaningful existence, even if outer circumstances cannot be changed. 
 
 
 
In Living Your Unlived Life, the renowned therapist Robert A. Johnson, writing with longtime collaborator and fellow Jungian psychologist Jerry M. Ruhl, offers a simple but transformative premise: Our abandoned, unrealized, or underdeveloped talents, when they are not fully integrated into our lives, can become profoundly troublesome in midlife, leading us to depression, suddenly hating our spouses, our jobs, or even our lives. When our unlived lives are brought to consciousness, however, they can become the fuel that can propel us beyond our limitations, even if our outer circumstances cannot always be visibly altered.

Writing Archetypal Character...

K.M. Weiland

The Six Transformational Character Arcs of the Human Life 
Ready to take your story’s character arcs and themes to the next level? This latest book from veteran writing teacher and story theorist K.M. Weiland ventures far beyond the popular and pervasive Hero’s Journey to explore six important archetypal character arcs, representing key moments of initiation in the human experience:The MaidenThe HeroThe QueenThe KingThe CroneThe Mage 
Found in every genre from fantasy to drama to romance to adventure, these transformational stories are the secret of powerhouse fiction—as shown through a wide variety of real-story examples throughout the book. 
Writing Archetypal Character Arcs will teach you:The archetypal beats for each of the six journeysWhich archetypes are right for your particular storyThe best way to use archetypes in a seriesHow to choose the right archetypes for supporting charactersHow to use archetypes to identify your story’s theme 
You will also learn how to deepen your stories by implementing shadow archetypes (the negative sides of each positive archetype), resting or “flat” archetypes (the fixed stage between each of the main arcs), and archetypal antagonists (the epic antagonistic forces that oppose each of the positive archetypes in their journeys). The Hero’s Journey is just the beginning. 
Learning about archetypal character arcs will change the way you view stories—and life—forever.
