As a giant of 20th century history, Mao Zedong played many roles: peasant revolutionary, patriotic leader against the Japanese occupation, Marxist theoretician, modernizer, and visionary despot. This Very Short Introduction chronicles Mao''s journey from peasant child to ruler of the most populous nation on Earth. He was a founder of both the Chinese Communist Party and the Red Army, and for many years he fought on two fronts, for control of the Party and in an armed struggle for the Party''s control of the country. His revolution unified China and began its rise to world power status. He was the architect of the Great Leap Forward that he hoped would make China both prosperous and egalitarian, but instead ended in economic disaster resulting in millions of deaths. It was Mao''s growing suspicion of his fellow leaders that led him to launch the Cultural Revolution, and his last years were dogged by ill-health and his despairing attempts to find a successor whom he trusted. Delia Davin provides an invaluable introduction to Mao, showing him in all his complexity; ruthless, brutal, and ambitious, a man of enormous talent and perception, yet a leader who is still detested by some and venerated by ...

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERHave you ever wondered what God truly expects of women? Is there really a prescription for biblical womanhood? Does the Bible''s idea of womanhood have a place in modern Christianity? New York Times bestselling author Rachel Held Evans embarks on a year-long study of what it means to live by the standards of biblical womanhood. Strong-willed and independent, Evans couldn''t sew a button on a blouse before she embarked on a radical life experiment--a year of biblical womanhood. Intrigued by the traditionalist resurgence that led many of her friends to abandon their careers to assume traditional gender roles in the home, Evans decided to try it for herself, vowing to take all of the Bible''s instructions for women as literally as possible for a full year.Along the way, Evans explores the rich heritage of scriptural heroines, models of grace, and all-around women of valor that we come to know in the Bible. She consults with women who practice these ancient biblical mandates in their own lives--from an Orthodox Jewish woman who changed the way Evans reads the Bible to an Amish community that taught her the true meaning of modesty.In A Year of Biblical Womanhood, Evans shares ...

A magisterial study of celebrated photographer Walker EvansWalker Evans (1903–75) was a great American artist photographing people and places in the United States in unforgettable ways. He is known for his work for the Farm Security Administration, addressing the Great Depression, but what he actually saw was the diversity of people and the damage of the long Civil War. In Walker Evans, renowned art historian Svetlana Alpers explores how Evans made his distinctive photographs. Delving into a lavish selection of Evans’s work, Alpers uncovers rich parallels between his creative approach and those of numerous literary and cultural figures, locating Evans within the wide context of a truly international circle. Alpers demonstrates that Evans’s practice relied on his camera choices and willingness to edit multiple versions of a shot, as well as his keen eye and his distant straight-on view of visual objects. Illustrating the vital role of Evans’s dual love of text and images, Alpers places his writings in conversation with his photographs. She brings his techniques into dialogue with the work of a global cast of important artists—from Flaubert and Baudelaire to Elizabeth Bishop and William Faulkner—underscoring how Evans’s travels abroad in such places as France and Cuba, along ...

The life and career of forgotten Welsh veterinary surgeon, medic and adventurer? Griffith Evans, who discovered that blood parasites cause disease and met Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant. In 1880, Welsh army veterinary surgeon Griffith Evans made the groundbreaking discovery that blood parasites, then universally considered benign, were pathogenic. This was a crucial milestone in the battle against parasitic diseases in animals and humans, but Evans was spurned by his peers and colleagues. His conclusions from experiments with diseased horses were acknowledged by Koch and Pasteur, but it took many years before his achievement received general recognition. Long ignored and forgotten, restoring Evans to his rightful eminence is important for the history of veterinary and medical science in general, and Welsh science in particular. Evans’s talent for engagement with people and cultures characterized his life in Canada and India. During a long and productive retirement in north Wales, he immersed himself in local and national affairs. At his centenary in 1935, Evans received the accolades of his profession, community, and family, dying peacefully in his hundredth year. Since that time, his name has faded into obscurity.

In 1973, Michael Lesy was a young scholar whose first book had just been published. In the soon-legendary Wisconsin Death Trip he combined 1890s photographs and newspaper clippings to evoke a devastatingly tragic epoch, the real-world antithesis of the fanciful "Gay Nineties." It startled readers then and remains a touchstone of modern photographic interpretation.That year Lesy met and became close friends with the great photographer Walker Evans, who in the 1930s had collaborated with writer James Agee to create another towering landmark in the American photo-essay, Let Us Now Praise Famous Men. Old, frail, with just two years left to live, Evans was still urgently and obsessively photographing. "Outside the rooms he inhabited," Lesy writes, "the world was scattered with objects on their way to oblivion. He photographed them in their passage." Brief as their friendship was, it was intense and rewarding. Each admired the other; each saw himself reflected in the other: aesthetic visionaries who shared a radical belief that photographs were not flat and static documents—that "the plain truth of the images . . . wasn’t as plain as it seemed," Lesy explains. "Meanings, beliefs, and emotions lay crisscrossed under the surface of the most plainspoken photographs." Throughout ... Unknown localization key: "more"

"Žádný jiný moderní myslitel nenabídl přesvědčivější, ucelenější a vlivnější vysvětlení původu lidstva než Zecharia Sitchin. Miliony lidí porozuměly skrze jeho objevy a nálezy historii lidstva. Nyní nám - naštěstí - M. J. Evans udělala nesmírnou laskavost tím, že celé Sitchinovo dílo shrnula do velmi čitelného resumé. Všichni bychom měli být velice vděční." John L. Petersen, futurista, autor a vydavatel ve FUTUREdition Zecharia Sitchin (1920-2010), známý svými provokativními interpretacemi starověkých sumerských a akkadských hliněných desek, četl slova našich nejstarších předků jako fakta a po desetiletí pečlivého výzkumu ukázal, že tyto starodávné tabulky odhalují ucelený příběh o mimozemských obyvatelích Země a počátcích moderního lidstva. M. J. Evans, Ph.D., dlouholetá Sitchinova přítelkyně a kolegyně, čerpala z mnoha rozhovorů se Zecharia Sitchinem z období téměř 20 let a poskytuje hloubkovou analýzu Sitchinových objevů o Anunnacích se zaměřením na jejich aktivity na Zemi a budoucnost Země. Zkoumá genezi Sitchinova zájmu o nefily, vůdce Anunnaků, a kontroverze vyvolané vydáním Sitchinovy první knihy Dvanáctá planeta. Zkoumá také jeho výzkum rodokmenu nefilů, příchod Anunnaků na Zemi za těžbou zlata za účelem opravy atmosféry na jejich planetě Nibiru, vytvoření moderních lidí jako pracovníků jejich dolů a budování jejich civilizace na Zemi.

Beginning with the rise of modern Pentecostalism before tracking back 2,500 years, author and academic Gavin Evans traces the history of the Abrahamic faiths, Christianity, Judaism and Islam. In this book he explores the New Testament, Hebrew Bible and the Qur'an. Delving into recent archaeological research, Bible Stories presents evidence that tales such as those of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and also Moses, Joshua and the Exodus, were entirely mythological. Robust interrogation of the evidence allows Evans to go further still, casting doubt on the Jesus story and arguing that even if he did exist as a historical figure, we know next to nothing about him. As well as examining these key religious texts, Bible Stories also holds modern atheism to account. Critiquing the work of some of its most ardent advocates, Evans rejects a militant approach and makes a compelling argument for a softer, more tolerant atheism.

From acclaimed graphic novelist Kate Evans, author of Red Rosa, comes a graphic biography of Jane Austen. Publishing on the 250th anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth.In the later years of her life, Jane Austen created a quilt. Acclaimed graphic novelist Kate Evans takes the fabrics of this patchwork coverlet and uses them to illustrate a beautiful, brilliantly immersive and compelling comic-book retelling of Jane Austen’s life. Evans patchworks together the narrative from Austen’s own words, seamlessly interweaving snippets from her letters and her stories, and tells her life story from the cradle to the grave, including riotously joyous comic excerpts of her novels.Kate Evans’s art style – which takes inspiration from James Gillray, Raymond Briggs, Quentin Blake and Beatrix Potter – and her incredible eye for historical detail, costume, architecture, even the fonts on the page, add up to a quintessentially English vision of Austen’s world. There is even an embroidered chapter, where the artwork is created in thread paintings. The whole combines to create a unique and original work of biographical scholarship which gives fresh insights into the impact of the events of Austen’s life on her work.
