 The Fall of a Sparrow: Vivien Eliot's Life and Writings by Ann Pasternak Slater 2020 | ISBN: 0571334032 | English | 784 pages | EPUB | 3 MB The Vivien Eliot Papers is a groundbreaking new biography of Vivien Eliot, comprising two sections: her Life and her Papers. Based on a rich repository of primary evidence, much only recently uncovered, it corrects the accidental inaccuracies and deliberate distortions that have circulated around one of Bloomsbury's most gossiped-about, enigmatic couples, while unveiling fascinating new discoveries that give a more balanced understanding of both partners. For the first time, too, immaculate texts of Vivien's own writing are presented, carefully distinguished from Eliot's input, which demonstrate a fresh and wry talent all of her own.
 David Simpkin, "The English Aristocracy at War: From the Welsh Wars of Edward I to the Battle of Bannockburn" English | 2017 | ISBN: 1783271825 | PDF | pages: 250 | 2.5 mb In 1277 the recently crowned king of England, Edward I, invaded Wales; his army, large for the time, was none the less modest by his later standards. Most of his countrymen had not been on active service outside the realm for twenty years and more, if at all, yet over the course of the following four decades, up to the battle of Bannockburn in 1314, they would be called upon to fight in four different theatres of war: in Wales, Gascony, Flanders and Scotland.  The Discovery of a Northwest Passage (Classics West) by Sir Robert McClure 2013 | ISBN: 1771510099 | English | 288 pages | EPUB | 1 MB For centuries, colonial powers searched for a sea passage that would link the Arctic and Pacific Oceans. The route, known as the Northwest Passage, would cut thousands of miles from sea travel and open up commercial trade to and from Asia. There were numerous expeditions to find the passage, though none successful. It was while searching for one of these failed expeditions-the Franklin Expedition-that Captain Robert McClure and his crew aboard the HMS Investigator became the first via sea and sledge to traverse and chart the elusive Northwest Passage.  Aphraates the Persian Sage;Adam Lehto, "The Demonstrations of Aphrahat, the Persian Sage" English | 2010 | ISBN: 159333768X | PDF | pages: 592 | 2.1 mb Among the earliest known sources from the Persian Church, the 4th-century Demonstrations of Aphrahat reflect a form of Christianity much closer to its Jewish roots than contemporary Western forms.  Ardashir/Frequency 435, "The Demons of Tiamat, the New Gods and the Exploration of the Nightside" English | 2012 | ISBN: 0989081702 | PDF | pages: 118 | 57.6 mb [center]  The Crusades: From Beginning to End by Henry Freeman English | February 17, 2016 | ISBN: 1523950722 | 59 pages | PDF | 0.35 Mb The CrusadesMuch has been written and much has been omitted when it comes to the Crusades; especially in modern parlance. Many talking heads in recent times have conjured up the specter of the Crusades as if it should be a source of great shame and disgust for Western Civilization. And with even President Obama drawing odd parallels in light of the beheadings of ISIS; many are wondering once again what all of this "Crusades talk" is all about.  W. Glenn Griffin, Deborah Morrison, "The Creative Process Illustrated: How Advertising's Big Ideas Are Born" English | 2010 | ISBN: 1600619606 | EPUB | pages: 176 | 22.4 mb Finally, answers to the question: How are big ideas born?  The Cambridge Handbook of Technology and Employee Behavior (Cambridge Handbooks in Psychology) by Richard N. Landers 2019 | ISBN: 1108476708, 1108701329 | English | 1000 pages | PDF | 11 MB Experts from across all industrial-organizational (IO) psychology describe how increasingly rapid technological change has affected the field. In each chapter, authors describe how this has altered the meaning of IO research within a particular subdomain and what steps must be taken to avoid IO research from becoming obsolete. This Handbook presents a forward-looking review of IO psychology's understanding of both workplace technology and how technology is used in IO research methods. Using interdisciplinary perspectives to further this understanding and serving as a focal text from which this research will grow, it tackles three main questions facing the field. First, how has technology affected IO psychological theory and practice to date? Second, given the current trends in both research and practice, could IO psychological theories be rendered obsolete? Third, what are the highest priorities for both research and practice to ensure IO psychology remains appropriately engaged with technology moving forward?

Silens Manus, Joshua A. Wentworth, "The Authentic Red Dragon (Le Véritable Dragon Rouge)" English | 2011 | ISBN: 0933429215 | PDF | pages: 209 | 60.2 mb The "Dragon Rouge" is one of the most notorious of the little books of black magic known as grimoires. This Teitan Press publication includes a complete facsimile of the earliest known edition - a French printing that is dated 1521 (although it was probably circa 1800) - along with a complete English translation by Joshua A. Wentworth. It is prefaced with a thoughtful and sometimes humorous Introduction by Silens Manus. The text itself is typical of grimoires of the time, and is clearly related to the "Grand Grimoire." Its anonymous author claims that the work is derived from the wisdom of the legendary King Solomon, and then sets down instructions for the creation of a number of magical implements: blasting rod (wand), talisman and magic circle, that are to be used to summon the demon "Lucifugé Rofocale," who is then bound over to serve the sorcerer. In the process a great many sub-demons are named, and their attributes listed. There follows a series of magic spells or recipes for various purposes; from making oneself invisible, to winning the affection of another, to the cure of various common ailments. The book ends with a chart of lucky and unlucky days and a short version of the treasure-finding text known as "La Poule Noire" ("The Black Hen"). The "Dragon Rouge" was very popular in nineteenth century France, and is still said to be one of the most highly revered texts in certain Voodoo circles in Haiti. |
