Pioneer Days In The San Bernardino Valley

Publiziert am 3. Juli 2017 von Jazzybee

Pioneer Days In The San Bernardino Valley – Eliza Persis Russell Robbins Crafts

The author discloses an intimate picture of Indian life and character, the Indians being the desert Cahuillas and their noted chief—Cabazon. She also tells of the early Mormon pioneers, with some reference to Capt. Jefferson Hunt and the Death Valley Party, and more particularly to the Brier family. Mrs. Crafts’ book makes for interesting reading; and it may well be considered one of the most important among the relatively few source records available concerning the early history of the San Bernardino Valley. The author moved into the Valley in 1854, at the age of 29 and lived here for the remainder of her long, eventful life. Her … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

The Positive Theory of Capital

Publiziert am 3. Juli 2017 von Jazzybee

The Positive Theory of Capital – Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk

Von Boehm-Bawerk is one of the leading economists of the so-called Austrian school. With Karl Menger and others, he has contributed to the development of a theory of value which has received wide acceptance, and has been the cause of still wider discussion, in the economic world. This theory, as elaborated by Boehm von Bawerk, is based largely upon psychological principles. Its chief feature consists in a searching analysis of ‘subjective value.’ In his “Capital and Interest”, the author makes a brilliant and original study of these two subjects. “The Positive Theory of Capital” is the successor to the work mentioned above.

The Consolation of Philosophy of Boethius

Publiziert am 2. Juli 2017 von Jazzybee

The Consolation of Philosophy of Boethius – Boethius

Boethius’ best-known work is the “Consolations of Philosophy” written during his imprisonment — “by far the most interesting example of prison literature the world has ever seen.” It is a dialogue between Philosophy and Boethius, in which the Queen of Sciences strives to console the fallen statesman. The main argument of the discourse is the transitoriness and unreality of all earthly greatness and the superior desirability of the things of the mind. There are evident traces of the influence of the Neo-Platonists, especially of Proclus, and little, if anything, that can be said to reflect Christian influences.

Knickerbocker’s History of New York

Publiziert am 1. Juli 2017 von Jazzybee

Knickerbocker’s History of New York – Washington Irving

Knickerbocker’s History Of New York was published in 1809. Nearly forty years later Washington Irving, the real author, says it was his purpose in the history to embody the traditions of New York in an amusing form, to illustrate its local humors, customs and peculiarities in a whimsical narrative, which should help to bind the heart of the native inhabitant to his home. He adds: “In this I have reason to believe I have in some measure succeeded. Before the appearance of my work the popular traditions of our city were unrecorded; the peculiar and racy customs and usages derived from our Dutch Progenitors were unnoticed, or regarded with indifference, or adverted … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...
