Folk Tales of the Wolf - Chris Salisbury
‘What a wonderful book. Wolves through a prism of love, understanding and fascination.’ Derek Gow, author and ecologistWolves have been hunted to extinction in many countries, clung on in isolated populations near human communities and thrived in remote wilderness: theirs is a story of adaption and survival that is not yet finished.Once prevalent in Britain, the wolf has been much maligned and persecuted, but it has also been missed, and the ‘return of the wolf ’ in this compendium of tales mirrors the aspiration to reintroduce this ancient species to Britain’s recovering wild places.The wolf has wended its way into our collective imagination through traditional narratives around the world. Known as shapeshifter, this animal has weaved itself into our folklore for centuries; from the compelling protagonist and agent of change to the wily trickster and persecutor, and today as a totem of hope for the rewilding movement.Storyteller and outdoorsman Chris Salisbury ensures the legacy of this beloved creature lives on in an unforgettable collection of wolfish tales to tell out loud.

Augustine - Robin Lane Fox
A major new interpretation of how one of the great figures of Christian history came to write the greatest of all autobiographiesAugustine is the person from the ancient world about whom we know most. He is the author of an intimate masterpiece, the Confessions, which continues to delight its many admirers. In it he writes about his infancy and his schooling in the classics in late Roman North Africa, his remarkable mother, his sexual sins (''Give me chastity, but not yet,'' he famously prayed), his time in an outlawed heretical sect, his worldly career and friendships and his gradual return to God. His account of his own eventual conversion is a classic study of anguish, hesitation and what he believes to be God''s intervention. It has inspired philosophers, Christian thinkers and monastic followers, but it still leaves readers wondering why exactly Augustine chose to compose a work like none before it.Robin Lane Fox follows Augustine on a brilliantly described journey, combining the latest scholarship with recently found letters and sermons by Augustine himself to give a portrait of his subject which is subtly different from older biographies. Augustine''s heretical years as a Manichaean, his relation to non-Christian philosophy, his mystical ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Astonishing Life of August March - Aaron Jackson
In this enchanting first novel, an irrepressibly optimistic oddball orphan is thrust into the wilds of postwar New York City after an extraordinary childhood in a theater—Candide by way of John Irving, with a hint of Charles Dickens.Abandoned as an infant by his actress mother in her theater dressing room, August March was raised by an ancient laundress. Highly intelligent, a tad feral, August is a true child of the theater –able to recite Shakespeare before he knew the alphabet. But like all productions, August’s wondrous time inside the theater comes to a close, and he finds himself in the wilds of postwar New York City, where he quickly rises from pickpocket street urchin to star student at the stuffiest boarding school in the nation. To survive, August must rely upon the kindness of strangers, only some of whom have his best interests at heart. As he grows up, his heart begins to yearn for love—which he may or may not finally find in Penny, a clever and gifted con artist.Aaron Jackson has crafted a brilliant, enchanting story at once profound and delightfully entertaining.

From one of the most vital and passionate LGBTQ+ activists comes a powerful memoir about self-discovery, community, love, and resilience in the face of adversity.You never forget your first. First kiss. First love. First heartache. They all burrow their way into your subconscious, destined to reshape how you see the world forever.Growing up in rural Oregon, Brandon Wolf grappled with the devastating loss of his supportive mother and with the embedded racism and homophobia of a community that made him feel like an unwelcome stranger. After the lack of connection and role models led him down a spiral of risky behavior, Wolf escaped to survive. In Orlando, he found what he’d been searching for: belonging—in a community that was a safe space with people he’d come to call his chosen family. They taught Wolf how to love, and be loved, unconditionally. Then, on June 12, 2016, in an exhilarating refuge where Wolf and hundreds of others had discovered a liberating new normal, they were suddenly challenged with fighting for a way out—in order to survive. Overnight, everything was ripped away by chaos, panic, and fear. But the unimaginable tragedy also gave Wolf a new power: purpose.In this unforgettable coming-of-age memoir, ...

Tales of human wolves have been with us since early medieval times, combined here with new stories from modern writers in the stunning, Gothic Fantasy series.There's more to being a wolf than just howling at the moon! Stories about werewolves, shapeshifting humans, rivalries and alliances between vampyr and werewolves abound in this new volume in the Gothic Fantasy series, bringing modern stories from short submissions to mix with the folklore and mythology of medieval times. The word 'were' traces back more than a thousand years, coming from the Old English 'wer', meaning Man, then combined with wolf but here you'll also find old Norse legends such as Fenrir (born of Loki), prophesied to defeat Odin at Ragnarök, and early Slavic myths and rituals in which were-wolf skins are removed and stolen. New stories explore wolves which might have been human, changing by choice at the howl of the moon, or people cursed and damned to be wolves for all time. Is that why the lone wolf is alone?

August Sedláček in the Age of Digital Humanities - Robert Šimůnek, Josef Žemlička, Jaroslav Boubín, Eva Doležalová
August Sedláček (1843-1926) is one of a few Czech historians whose name is known outside the narrow circle of the historical community.His most famous work, the fifteen-volume Hrady, zámky a tvrze království Českého [Castles, Chateaux and Strongholds of the Kingdom of Bohemia], is comprehensible to the lay public, but also its professional quality is so far undoubtable. For the preparation of his monumental work, August Sedláček created a number of auxiliary materials, which are preserved to this day in state archives and, above all, at the Institute of History of the Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague (http://www.hiu.cas.cz/en/structure/medieval-history/pozustalost-augusta-sedlacka.ep/). All of these materials themselves have high scientific and historical value. In particular, two card indices (genealogical and topographical), comprising altogether about 400 000 cards, are to this day the most frequently used archival collections of the August Sedláček scholarly legacy. Since 2015, they are accessible to public as a digital database (www.augustsedlacek.cz). The special methodology and software developed for this purpose not only allow a standard access to each particular digitised index card, but make it possible to analyse the information contained in the card indices as a whole and provide their end users - the researchers - with comfortable room ...

Postní promluvy - svatý Augustin
Jako čtrnáctý svazek edice Patristika vycházejí promluvy, které hipponský biskup svatý Augustin (354-430) pronesl v průběhu postní doby. Ve svazku je zařazeno osm postních promluv, dále osm promluv ke kandidátům křtu v rámci jejich přípravy na křest - jde převážně o promluvy k předání či složení vyznání víry, a nakonec čtyři promluvy na památku utrpení Páně, které Augustin přednesl během velkopátečních obřadů. Augustin v promluvách vysvětluje smysl a charakter postní doby, zdůrazňuje její slavnostnost a její primární zaměření na prohloubení víry a upevnění vztahu s Bohem. Věnuje se také typickým prostředkům postní přípravy, jako jsou půst, modlitba a almužna, rozebírá význam jednotlivých článků vyznání víry a vykupitelskou hodnotu Kristovy smrti a vzkříšení, skrze něž jsme byli uschopněni otevírat se Boží lásce a přátelství.

Augustine the African - Catherine Conybeare
''Engaging, thoughtful, and illuminating'' Madeline Miller''A long-needed survey of the great theologian'' Rowan WilliamsAugustine of Hippo is one of the world''s most influential theologians, an early Christian writer whose work shaped the course of Western philosophy. Born in Numidia in 354 CE, Augustine''s African identity has long been painfully denied. But it was foundational to his thinking and faith. Drawing on original sources and the Augustinian texts themselves, world-renowned scholar Catherine Conybeare traces Augustine''s travels from North Africa to the European continent and back again, placing his African origins firmly at the centre of his story. A tale of exile, faith and identity, Augustine the African upends conventional knowledge about one of Christianity''s most celebrated saints, and recentres Africa as the locus of early Catholic intellectual activity - with Europe on the periphery.

Facing the Beast - Naomi Wolf
From New York Times bestselling author Naomi Wolf, Facing the Beast is a devastating, detailed account of wrongthink, deplatforming, and an unexpected political, personal, and spiritual transformation that followed during one of the most divisive times in American history.In this uncompromising investigation into today’s most urgent issues, Naomi Wolf uses her own wildly politicized pilgrimage—from New York Times bestselling author and high-level Democratic consultant to a journalist cast out from the elite political and social circles she once moved through—as a stunning narrative framework that is both chilling and incisive.Wolf’s sin? Doing the job that good journalists once prided themselves on: asking questions, challenging authority, and, during one of the most politically divisive moments in modern history, exposing the many failures of the public health response during the COVID-19 pandemic by chronicling the dangerous descent of our democracy into tyranny, censorship, and totalitarianism.Unable to remain silent in the shadows and unwilling to collude with the mainstream, Wolf bravely covers topics that few other writers dare to address critically for fear of being deplatformed. Facing the Beast explores reproductive rights, medical freedom, the uncurious thought-policing of the “progressive” left, the Second Amendment, the criminal relationship between the FDA and Pfizer—Wolf’s clear ...

The Confessions - Saint Augustine
In this new translation the brilliant and impassioned descriptions of Augustine''s colourful early life are conveyed to the English reader with accuracy and art. Augustine tells of his wrestlings to master his sexual drive, his rare ascent from a humble Algerian farm to the edge of the corridors of high power at the imperial court of Milan, and his renunciation of secular ambition and marriage as he recovered the faith that his mother had taught him. It was in a Milan garden that Augustine finally achieved the act of will to Christian conversion, which he compared to a lazy man in bed finally deciding it is time to get up and face the day.

Svatý Augustin - Milan Machovec
Aurelius Augustinus neboli svatý Augustin patří k jedněm z nejpozoruhodnějších postav dějin lidstva. Na jedné straně byl a je uznáván katolickou církví jako jeden z největších světců a učitelů, na druhé straně se k němu hlásily i různé proudy opoziční či reformní, tedy z hlediska katolíků často kacířské. Augustin byl různými mysliteli považován jak za posledního člověka antiky, tak za tvůrce středověku či dokonce prvního moderního člověka. S tím souvisí to, že se o něj zajímali a zajímají nejen filosofové a teologové, ale jeho dějinný přínos uznávají i psychologové nebo sociologové. Zároveň ovšem bývá naopak považován za jednoho z největších "tmářů". Filosof Milan Machovec věnoval studiu této rozporuplné osobnosti a jejího inspirujícího díla značné úsilí. V reedici důležité knihy profesora Milana Machovce (1925-2003) z roku 1967 je popisováno zrání Augustinovy osobnosti, líčen jeho boj s donatismem, pelagianismem a manicheismem. Autor se zabývá Augustinovými snahami o syntézu křesťanství a antiky, jeho názory na vztah jednotlivce k církevní instituci, zdůrazňuje jeho chápání lidské svobody a nutnosti aktivity a mravní zodpovědnosti každého jedince. Machovec líčí, co pro tohoto myslitele znamenaly niterné náboženské prožitky a zejména klade důraz na to, čím vším může sv. Augustin hovořit i k dnešnímu člověku. A ačkoliv jde o ...

The Teacher. Teaching Christianity - Augustine
Magisterial pedagogy. Aurelius Augustine (AD 354–430), one of the most important figures in the development of western Christianity and philosophy, was the son of a pagan, Patricius of Tagaste, and his Christian wife, Monnica. While studying to become a rhetorician, he plunged into a turmoil of philosophical and psychological doubts, leading him to Manichaeism. In 383 he moved to Rome and then Milan to teach rhetoric. Despite exploring classical philosophical systems, especially skepticism and Neoplatonism, his studies of Paul’s letters with his friend Alypius, and the preaching of Bishop Ambrose, led in 386 to his momentous conversion from mixed beliefs to Christianity. He soon returned to Tagaste and founded a religious community, and in 395 or 396 became Bishop of Hippo. The Teacher (De Magistro) dates from the beginning of Augustine’s scholarly career, and Teaching Christianity (De Doctrina Christiana) from its end. Together with Confessions, these treatises contain various remembrances and reflections drawn from Augustine’s personal educational experiences over time, allowing the reader to trace the development of his mature understanding of what teaching is, or should be. They also showcase his prowess as a theorist and thinker of timeless importance.

Wild Lives presents a celebration of the beauty, ferocity, and revival of Earth’s endangered wildlife through the lens of legendary photographer Art Wolfe.Wild Lives is a celebration of the extraordinary diversity of species that inhabit the planet. Some are common, some rare, and many are conservation success stories, species that have been brought back from the edge of extinction. Over his forty-year career, Art Wolfe has photographed many species that were once on endangered species lists, but are now flourishing (such as the bald eagle and humpback whale). These recoveries are an uplifting testament to the resilience of life when it is given a chance. From amphibians and reptiles to mammals and birds, Wild Lives portrays an earthly aesthetic millions of years in the making. Wolfe has photographed more than 500 species in 60 countries, and the never-before-seen work in Wild forms his most comprehensive, globe-spanning book of photography he has ever published. Accompanying Wolfe’s photos are essays by renowned conservationist, Gregory Green. Focusing on the why of wildlife conservation and recovery, Green discusses the redistribution of animals and their habitats dating all the way back to the Ice Age. Together, Wolfe and Green have crafted a monograph that will ... Unknown localization key: "more"
