Publiziert am 27. November 2017 von Jazzybee

A Tangled Tale – Lewis Carroll

‘A Tangled Tale’ is a collection of ten brief humorous stories. These were published originally between April 1880 and March 1885 in The Monthly Packet magazine. The stories are called ‘knots’ and present mathematical problems. The mathematical interpretations of the Knots are not always straightforward, yet they are logical and make perfect sense.

The Homilies On The Acts of the Apostles

Publiziert am 27. November 2017 von Jazzybee

The Homilies On The Acts of the Apostles – St. John Chrysostrom

As a commentary on the Acts of the Apostles, this Work stands alone among the writings of the first ten centuries. The Expositions of St. Clement of Alexandria (in the Hypotyposes), of Origen, of Diodorus of Tarsus, and St. Chrysostom’s teacher, Theodore of Mopsuestia, as well as of Ammonius and others whose materials are used in the Catena, have perished. Those who are acquainted with the characteristic qualities of St. Chrysostom’s exegesis, will perceive here also the same excellencies which mark his other expository works-especially the clear and full exposition of the historical sense, and the exact appreciation of the rhetorical momenta in the discourses of St. Peter, … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

Amitabha – A Story Of Buddhist Theology

Publiziert am 26. November 2017 von Jazzybee

Amitabha – A Story Of Buddhist Theology – Paul Carus

The story of Amitabha has a historical setting in the ascendancy of the kingdom of Gandhara, under King Kanishka, whose interest in Buddhism and whose connection with Acvaghosha, the great Buddhist philosopher, are well known. The plot gives ample opportunity in discussion and incident to explain and illustrate some of the cardinal points of Buddhism, especially in regard to the way of salvation and the God-conception represented by Amitabha Buddha, the Source of Infinite Light and the Standard of Being, as distinct from the Brahman idea of a conscious personal deity. Contents: The Ordination. The Novice. The God Problem. Kevaddha’s Story. The Confession. Gandhara. King Kanishka. Magadha. Acvaghosha. Amitabha. The … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

Light On Life’s Difficulties

Publiziert am 26. November 2017 von Jazzybee

Light On Life’s Difficulties – James Allen

When a man enters a dark room he is not sure of his movements, he cannot see objects around him, or properly locate them, and is liable to hurt himself by coming into sudden contact with them. But let a light be introduced, and immediately all confusion disappears. Every object is seen, and there is no danger of being hurt. To the majority, life is such a dark room, and their frequent hurts-their disappointments, perplexities, sorrows and pains-are caused by sudden contact with principles which they do not see, and are therefore not prepared to deal with. But when the light of wisdom is introduced into the darkened understanding, confusion vanishes, difficulties are … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

The Law Of Psychic Phenomena

Publiziert am 24. November 2017 von Jazzybee

The Law Of Psychic Phenomena – Thomas Jay Hudson

The primary object of this book is to assist in bringing Psychology within the domain of the exact sciences. It has long been felt by the ablest thinkers of our time that all psychic manifestations of the human intellect, normal or abnormal, whether designated by the name of mesmerism, hypnotism, somnambulism, trance, spiritism, demonology, miracle, mental therapeutics, genius, or insanity, are in some way related ; and consequently, that they are to be referred to some general principle or law, which, once understood, will simplify and correlate the whole subject-matter, and possibly remove it from the domain of the supernatural.

Encyclopedia of Place Names in the United States

Publiziert am 23. November 2017 von Jazzybee

Encyclopedia of Place Names in the United States – Henry Gannett.

Some sort of a first book on American history is now quite generally used in schools as a preparation for the more intelligent study of a larger and more formal text-book in the higher grammar grades. For beginners, a mere compilation of facts is dry and unsatisfactory. Such books have now given place, for the most part, to those prepared on a more attractive and judicious plan. The real aim in a first book should be to interest boys and girls in the history of their country, and to encourage them to cultivate a taste for further study and reading. This book is intended for use in the earlier … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...
