Sinopse

In "Master Wace, His Chronicle of the Norman Conquest From the Roman De Rou," the author presents a compelling narrative that chronicles the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, blending history with rich, poetic storytelling. Written in the 12th century, this work is notable for its vibrant descriptive language and meticulous attention to detail, capturing the political and cultural upheavals of the time. Wace'Äôs Latin text, translated into Anglo-Norman, not only serves as a historical record but also reflects the evolving identity of the Norman people, offering readers insights into medieval society'Äôs values and conflicts. Wace was a poet and historian of Norman descent who lived during a period rich with change after the conquest. His background and the historical milieu of post-conquest Britain informed his writing, as he aimed to foster a sense of shared history and identity among the Norman aristocracy. Wace's dual role as chronicler and poet allowed him to craft a narrative that was not only informative but also captivating, ensuring that the oral traditions of his culture were preserved for centuries. Readers interested in medieval history, French literature, or the roots of English identity will find Wace'Äôs chronicle a crucial text. It is an essential exploration of a transformative moment in history, offering both scholarly rigor and engaging prose, making it a valuable addition to any historical or literary library.

    The Origin of the Universe

    A philosophical approach to the enigma of nature and the universe approached through observation, meditation, and logical analysis of material phenomena.   Written in accessible language for the general reader, The Origin of the Universe expounds on a theory that Jan Aleksander Piasecki developed from a synthesis of data he accumulated over the years. He discusses world forces and how they combine and operate to create the universe and matter, and all living things in it. A special section discusses the soul, its design and destiny.   Attributing everything in the universe to the impact and expansion of the heat entity and the resistance and pressure of the cold entity, Piasecki moves through time and space to explain the creation of the sun, the solar system, atmosphere, water, and living forms. He draws a connection from outside forces to that which animates every “self-moving form” from within: the soul, imbued with the knowledge of its own being.   From molecules to the moon, The Origin of the Universe takes readers on a journey through the mysteries of life, those with a finite existence and those that may endure forever . . .

    The Life Worth Living -...

    More than 2,000 years ago, Aristotle said: "let there be a law that no deformed child shall live." This idea is alive and well today. During the past century, Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. argued that the United States can forcibly sterilize intellectually disabled women and philosopher Peter Singer argued for the right of parents to euthanize certain cognitively disabled infants. The Life Worth Living explores how and why such arguments persist by investigating the exclusion of and discrimination against disabled people across the history of Western moral philosophy. 
     
     
     
    Joel Michael Reynolds argues that this history demonstrates a fundamental mischaracterization of the meaning of disability, thanks to the conflation of lived experiences of disability with those of pain and suffering. Building on decades of activism and scholarship in the field, Reynolds shows how longstanding views of disability are misguided and unjust, and he lays out a vision of what an anti-ableist moral future requires. 
     
     
     
    The Life Worth Living is the first sustained examination of disability through the lens of the history of moral philosophy and phenomenology, and it demonstrates how lived experiences of disability demand a far richer account of human flourishing, embodiment, community, and politics in philosophical inquiry and beyond.

    From small ports to large ports, from rivers to creeks, from lakes to lagoons, water routes have been essential to Florida's development as a commercial, recreational, agricultural, and cultural entity. With more than 30,000 lakes and ponds and some 1,700 rivers, creeks, and streams, Florida ranks second in the list of wettest states in the USA. Native Americans used the rivers, creeks, and lakes as routes to various locales within the peninsula while harvesting fish and other aquatic edibles to sustain their daily lives. Early European settlers followed suit and supplemented their diets with the bounty from the oceans and fresh water sources. Into statehood, settlers relied on the same sources for food while using fresh water to make the land productive for food and cash crops. By the early decades of the 20th Century, water became a marketable attraction to lure millions of tourists to Florida for recreation and sports. The trend continues today. Join a trio of authors on this look at the immense impact water and maritime activities have played in the development of Florida.
