In this book leading scholars contribute comprehensive studies of the religious movements in the late 18th and 19th centuries: the Hassidic movements in Judaism, the Mormon religion, in Christianity, and the Bb-Bah' faiths in Sh'te Islam. The studies, introduced by the editor's analysis of the underlying common source of this religious activity, lead the reader into a rich world of messianism, millenniarism and eschatological thought fueling the intense modern developments in the three major monotheistic religions.

In very good condition with light rubbing to the crown and foot of the spine. A nice example. "Morley admirably creates a canine world through names alone. There are Mike Terrier, the curate Mr. J. Rover Poodle, the upper-class and working-class neighbors Mrs. Airedale and Mrs. Collie, the nursemaid Mrs. Spaniel and little Shaggy, her puppy, Gissing's adopted puppies Groups, Bunks, and Yelpers, haughty Mr. and Mrs. Chow and their "intolerably spotless" little Sandy, the landlady Mrs. Purps, the salesclerk Miss Whippet, the matronly Mrs. Mastiff, the compulsive shopper Mrs. Dachshund, the parishioners Mr. Dobermann-Pinscher, Mrs. Griffon, and Mrs. Retriever. There are the place names like Dalmatian Heights and the little shrine of St. Spitz. These are intermixed with humanless real locales like Paris and Atlantic City, Murray Hill and Fifth Avenue and Broadway and Wall Street, Delmonico s Restaurant and Trinity Church, and real historical personages like the Grimm brothers, Hans Christian Andersen, and Masefield; to make this our real world only inhabited by dogs, rather than some imaginary planet of dogs" (Fred Patten)., William Heinemann Ltd, 1922, 0, New York: D.

From Wikipedia: "Jehan de Mandeville", translated as "Sir John Mandeville", is the name claimed by the compiler of The Travels of Sir John Mandeville, a book account of his supposed travels, which probably first appeared in Anglo-Norman French, and first circulated between 1357 and 1371. By aid of translations into many other languages it acquired extraordinary popularity. Despite the extremely unreliable and often fantastical nature of the travels it describes, it was used as a work of reference Christopher Columbus, for example, was heavily influenced by both this work and Marco Polo's earlier Il Milione. Also from Wikipedia: "Alexander William Kinglake (5 August 1809 2 January 1891) was an English travel writer and historian. He was born near Taunton, Somerset and educated at Eton College and Trinity College, Cambridge. [1] He was called to the Bar in 1837, and built up a thriving legal practice, which in 1856 he abandoned in order to devote himself to literature and public life. His first literary venture had been Eothen; or Traces of travel brought home from the East, (London: J. Ollivier, 1844), a very popular work of Eastern travel, apparently first published anonymously, in which he described a journey he made about ten years earlier in Syria, Palestine and Egypt, together with his Eton contemporary Lord Pollington. Elliot Warburton said it evoked "the East itself in vital actual reality" and it was instantly successful. However, his magnum opus was his Invasion of the Crimea, in 8 volumes, published from 1863 to 1887 by Blackwood, Edinburgh, one of the most effective works of its class. It has been accused of being too favourable to Lord Raglan, and unduly hostile to Napoleon III, for whom the author had an extreme aversion. The town of Kinglake in Victoria, Australia, and the adjacent national park are named after him. A Whig, Kinglake was elected at the 1857 general election as one of the two Members of Parliament (MP) for Bridgwater, having unsuccessfully contested the seat in 1852. He was returned at next two general elections, but the result of the 1868 general election in Bridgwater was voided on petition on 26 February 1869. No by-election was held, and after a Royal Commission found that there had extensive corruption, the town was disenfranchised in 1870.", D.

Hugh Sidey (September 3, 1927 - November 21, 2005) was an American journalist who worked for Life magazine starting in 1955, then moved on to Time magazine in 1957. He covered several Presidents, from Eisenhower to Clinton, and was author of the book Time Hugh Sidey's Profiles of the Presidents. He also hosted the PBS series The American Presidents. Sidey served as president of the board of directors of the White House Historical Association from 1998 to 2001, during the White House's bicentenary celebration. Former president George H. W. Bush delivered a eulogy at Sidey's funeral. Inscribed to Nicholas Christopher, believed to be the Nicholas Christopher (born 1951) who is an American novelist, poet and critic, the author of sixteen books: six novels, eight volumes of poetry, a critical study of film noir, and a novel for children. Christopher graduated from Harvard College with an A.B. in English Literature. After traveling extensively abroad, he returned to New York and began publishing his work. He taught at New York University and Yale before receiving an appointment as a professor on the permanent faculty of the Writing Program of the School of the Arts at Columbia University. From the 1970s, his work has appeared in The New Yorker, Esquire, The New Republic, The Paris Review, The Nation, and The New York Review of Books. For 43 years, Hugh Sidey has been reporting on the White House for Time, Inc. His lively column, The Presidency, has been featured in Time magazine during the past seven administrations. Nobody understands the complex interplay of personality and power in the Oval Office better than he. Nobody writes about it with as much vitality and depth of experience. Lavishly illustrated with photographs from Time magazine's exceptional archives, this is a bracing and intimate view of our last eleven presidents, from FDR to Bill Clinton. At the heart of the book is a fresh profile of each man, drawn from Sidey's unparalleled access to the inner workings of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

A Feynman Bibliography. Index. Address label of Frank V. Tarkington of Silver Spring, MD on fep. Frank V. Tarkington, who lived to be 102, joined the United States Navy in 1940 and served five years. While on the island of Tinian, he witnessed the arming of the Enola Gay. Frank was advanced in rate to Chief Radioman until the war was over. His service in the Navy was a springboard for a long career with Radio Corporation of America (RCA). Frank installed the first television in the White House so that President Truman could witness the opening of Congress in January 1948. Christopher Sykes is a TV documentary producer based in London. He was born in 1945, and was educated at the Atlantic College and Merton College, Oxford where he read English. In 1970 he joined the BBC as a television researcher. He has made about seventy documentaries for BBC TV and Channel 4, some of which have been shown on PBS/Nova - notably the programs he made with and about Richard Feynman (The Pleasure of Finding Things Out, Last Journey of a Genius and The Best Mind Since Einstein). He is also a consultant to Web of Stories, an online video collection of in-depth interviews with many of the great minds of our time. For many years, whenever British filmmaker Christopher Sykes got asked at parties what he did, he would say, "I make films about Richard Feynman." Which he did though Sykes has made more than 70 eclectic documentaries, he became best-known for his film on Richard Feynman, including the excellent No Ordinary Genius and The Pleasure of Finding Things Out, from which these timeless excerpts on beauty, honors, and curiosity came. Sykes painted a portrait of Feynman that was as fascinating and full of his scientific genius as it was entertaining and brimming with his playful irreverence. Sykes is a documentary filmmaker for BBC TV who got to know the great Nobel Laureate physicist while making documentary films about his life. He has assembled selections from Feynman's writings and other sources and arranged them in thematic chapters, illustrated with photos. The compilation is an impressive and engaging presentation of the man and his work., W. W. Norton and Company, 1994, 3, Baden-Baden: Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden, 2010.
