Beschreibung

In 'Cherokee Mythology (Illustrated Edition),' James Mooney presents a profound exploration of the rich tapestry of Cherokee spiritual beliefs and folklore. Mooney's meticulous research is evident in the way he weaves together oral traditions, legends, and rituals, offering readers a comprehensive understanding of the Cherokee worldview. The book employs a blend of narrative and analytical styles, featuring beautifully illustrated depictions that enhance the immersion into the mythic dimensions of Cherokee culture. The illustrations serve not only as visual companions but also as cultural artifacts that allow readers to grasp the complex symbolism inherent in each story. James Mooney was a pioneering anthropologist and ethnographer whose work significantly advanced the understanding of Native American cultures. His deep respect for the Cherokee people and their traditions motivated much of his scholarly pursuit, particularly his pivotal role in documenting oral histories before they were lost to modernity. Mooney's extensive fieldwork in the late 19th century, combined with his scholarly rigor, allows 'Cherokee Mythology' to stand as both a historical record and a cultural celebration. For scholars, students, and anyone interested in indigenous cultures, 'Cherokee Mythology (Illustrated Edition)' is an indispensable resource. Mooney's engaging narrative not only illuminates Cherokee beliefs but also invites readers into a world where mythology plays a vital role in shaping identity and community. This book is a crucial addition to the library of anyone wishing to understand the intricate connections between mythology and cultural heritage.

    The poems in Natalie Ann Holborow's third collection, Little Universe, are an exploration of tumultuous human emotions and nature's ever-present rhythms.
    
    Lives bustle within a busy hospital's walls, humming against the Gower landscape that stretches beyond its windows. The tiny worlds of a wide cast unfold as they deal with their own emergencies, losses, recoveries, hopes and histories.
    
    Medical students stride along the corridors in rubber shoes, scars running the lengths of their lives. A janitor is crying in the Gents, watching the flowers at the hospital entrance shrug themselves back into earth. The biblical Lilith offers knowledge from one woman to the other. And somewhere in the distance, a bunker dissolves into gold upon Pennard's shoulder, dusk folding to sleep on Rhossili.
    
    The characters in this book are all bound by the undying pulse of existence – yet their stories serve as a reminder that despite these stark contrasts, life persists.

    During the Civil War his movements from battlefield to battlefield were followed in the North and in the South nearly as closely as those of generals, though he was not in the military. After the war, his swift response to Ku Klux Klan violence sparked passage of a landmark civil rights law, though he was not a politician. When he died in 1888 newspapers reported his death from coast to coast, yet he's unknown today. He was the man who delivered the most valuable ingredient in United States soldiers' fighting spirit during those terrible war years—letters between the front lines and the home front. He was Absalom Markland, special agent of the United States Post Office, and this is his first biography. 
     
     
     
    At the beginning of the Civil War, at the request of his childhood friend Ulysses S. Grant, Markland created the most efficient military mail system ever devised, and Grant gave him the honorary title of colonel. Nearly every biography of Lincoln, Sherman, and Grant includes at least one footnote about Markland, but his important, sometimes daily interaction with them during and after the war has escaped modern notice, until now. Absalom Markland is a forgotten American hero. Delivered Under Fire tells his amazing story.

    When the Holy Spirit reveled to the author, Ernest Martin, a veterinarian with a medical background, that the spiritual birth was identical to the physical birth, this revelation became a life-changing experience. People are always asking and seeking miracles. What is a greater miracle than a sperm uniting with an ovum (egg) and becoming a living cell with the potential to develop into a human being? That living cell (zygote) does not have any resemblance to a fetus. From the process of fertilization to the growth process, it is all programmed in the zygote to divide and multiply and to eventually liken to its mother or dad or a combination of both. 
    Just like when we receive Jesus as our Savior, we become a whole spiritual being in the image of God. We don't look or act much like Jesus at this stage. We look more like the zygote, but we are complete in Jesus. If we desire the sincere milk of the Word and then progress to the meat of the Word, we will grow up into the full stature of Jesus. This process is so well-defined in the physical birth process that we can see how we grow as we spend time in the Word that we may eventually look and act like Jesus Christ. 
    What a miracle and life-changing event to understand the growth process ordained and carried out by God Almighty.
