To a Mountain in Tibet (9780099532644)

Image
TOP TEN BESTSELLER Mount Kailas is the most sacred of the world's mountains - holy to one fifth of humanity. Isolated beyond the central Himalayas, its summit has never been scaled, but for centuries the mountain has been ritually circled by Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims. Colin Thubron joins these pilgrims, after an arduous trek from Nepal, through the high passes of Tibet, to the magical lakes beneath the slopes of Kailas itself. He talks to secluded villagers and to monks in their decaying monasteries; he tells the stories of exiles and of eccentric explorers from the West. Yet he is also walking on a pilgrimage of his own. Having recently witnessed the death of the last of his family, his trek around the great mountain awakes an inner landscape of love and grief, restoring precious fragments of his own past. 'I would rather read Colin Thubron than any other travel writer alive' - John Simpson Product details

Learning from the Histories of Rhetoric : Essays in Honor of Winifred Bryan Horner (9780809317844)

Image
This collection of eleven essays honors Winifred Bryan Horner for her sustained effort to establish that the special nature of rhetoric and composition leads the discipline to theorize practice and to apply theory as its central acts.Theresa Enos urges those in the field to learn from the histories of rhetoric in order to draw rhetoric and composition together and to understand theory in practice and the practice of theory as conceptualized by Aristotle. Rhetoric, the oldest of the humanities, has practice as its very basis, but English faculty who teach history of rhetoric courses often think that studying rhetorical history for its own sake is enough. In addition, the typical history course taught in English departments is nearly identical to the traditional ones that have been taught in speech and communication departments for three-quarters of a century. Enos believes that using the infrastructure of courses taught in speech does not meet the needs of teachers of written communicat

Beyond Mary or Martha : Reclaiming Ancient Models of Discipleship (9781628372595)

Image
Jennifer S. Wyant examines the varied interpretations, debates, and the reception of the story of Mary and Martha of Bethany. Beginning with their first encounter with Jesus in Luke 10:38-42 and moving through the patristic, medieval, and modern periods, Wyant tracks how Mary and Martha both became paradigms of discipleship, revealing the inherent tension within Christianity between more contemplative works and acts of service. By placing ancient debates alongside more modern ones, she argues that contrary to the common discussions today among academic and the church circles gender is not the most important aspect of their story.

Penelopiad : The Myth of Penelope and Odysseus (9781841957982)

Image
Margaret Atwood returns with a shrewd, funny, and insightful retelling of the myth of Odysseus from the point of view of Penelope. Describing her own remarkable vision, the author writes in the foreword, "I've chosen to give the telling of the story to Penelope and to the twelve hanged maids. The maids form a chanting and singing Chorus, which focuses on two questions that must pose themselves after any close reading of the Odyssey What led to the hanging of the maids, and what was Penelope really up to? The story as told in the Odyssey doesn't hold water: there are too many inconsistencies. I've always been haunted by the hanged maids and, in The Penelopiad, so is Penelope herself." One of the high points of literary fiction in 2005, this critically acclaimed story found a vast audience and is finally available in paperback. Product details Format

The Corvey library was built during the last half of the 19th century by Victor and his wife Elise, both bibliophiles with varied interests.

The Winged Men : The John Kirk of Ares Chronicles, Book 1 (9781434442499)

Image
"I spoke to the warrior, but obviously he could not understand me. I tried again in every language I knew. It was all met with the same confusion and frustration on both our parts. Nevertheless, the warrior approached me carefully and in what looked now like a peaceful manner. The red-headed girl had already left the clearing, for the warrior had spoken some words to her that caused her to run off. To where, I could not guess. The other girl with the bright green hair stood by as if frozen looking at me intently, apparently unable to move. I stood by, frozen too, as the warrior slowly advanced. We eyed each other warily. One soldier, or warrior, to another. Then with a sudden, wild howl the warrior lunged forward in a mad rush upon me. Instantly I found myself in a deadly duel for my life. Our battle had begun." A Scientific Romance inspired by Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter Series and set upon the faraway planet Ares, "The Winged Men" is the first of a new s
