Stepping-Stones
“The next best thing to actually seeing the prehistoric cave art of southern Franc[e] . . . A rapturous guide through five major Ice Age sites” (Archaeology). The cave art of France’s Dordogne region is world-famous for the mythology and beauty of its remarkable drawings and paintings. These ancient images of lively bison, horses, and mammoths, as well as symbols of all kinds, are fascinating touchstones in the development of human culture, demonstrating how far humankind has come and reminding us of the ties that bind us across the ages. Over more than twenty-five years of teaching and research, Christine Desdemaines-Hugon has become an unrivaled expert in the cave art and artists of ...
The Meanings of Genealogy for Science and Religion
This book is a refreshingly unique approach to genealogy and its relationships with Science and Religion. It is the author's answer to the questions posed artistically by the painter Paul Gauguin's masterpiece; ?Where Do We Come From? What Are We Made Of? Where Are We Going?, as reproduced on the book cover. Most religions and cultures make important reference to their genealogies. Science, also, since the advent of Darwin's Theory of Evolution and its subsequent development and culmination in DNA and brain science research, has its own genealogy, telling the story of the pre-history and history of mankind, our migrations and the evolution of our behavior and cultures. The author, trained as...
First Man, Last Man
About the Book First Man, Last Man: World’s First Modern Man looks into how, when, and where the first modern humans evolved and developed. They founded advanced civilizations, became great artists and progressive leaders. Eventually, they migrated far and wide, carrying their progressive culture and lifestyle with them as they changed mankind forever. However, today, these same people now live at a stone-age level. What caused them to regress? What is the real story? About the Author Horace J. Taylor enjoys writing, illustrating, and researching. He feels a duty to share knowledge, truth, new concepts, and ways of looking at the world. The evolution of mankind and how he has lived within his environment is interesting to Taylor and, he believes, to most people. He wrote this book to share with others some of his views on the amazing development of man.
In Search of Our Ancient Ancestors
A top genealogist “shows how genetics helps and how it roots each of us in this magnificent story of Life on Earth in the most meaningful way imaginable.”—Reunite Magazine “What a fine long pedigree you have given the human race.”—Charles Darwin to Charles Lyell, 1863 How distantly are we related to dinosaurs? How much of your DNA came from Neanderthals? How are the builders of Stonehenge connected to great-grandpa? According to science, life first appeared on Earth about 3,500 million years ago. Every living thing is descended from that first spark, including all of us. But if we trace a direct line down from those original life forms to ourselves, what do we find? What is the f...
And Yet
A former Poet Laureate of Canada and finalist for the Griffin Poetry Prize returns with a wide-ranging new collection of poems. CBC Best Canadian Poetry of 2020 In John Steffler's luminous collection, And Yet, dreams, memory and desire are forms of wilderness that burst into our daily lives, inspiring us to see ourselves and the world anew. Exuberant, powerful, even prescient, the poems confront the unknown and unexpected around and within us and call up our impulse to resist certainty and finality. The flimsiest shelter might seem best; a trail guide's house is revealed as a forest beyond names. What is outside might be most desired; a suit of clothes gazing into a mirror longs to become an...
andererseits - Yearbook of Transatlantic German Studies
andererseits provides a forum for research, commentary, and creative work on topics related to the German-speaking world and the field of German Studies. Works presented in the publication come from a wide variety of genres including book reviews, poetry, essays, editorials, forum discussions, academic notes, lectures, and traditional peer-reviewed academic articles. In addition, we welcome contributions by journalists, librarians, archivists, and other commentators interested in German Studies broadly conceived. As a specifically transatlantic endeavor, we also highlight select topics in American Studies that impact German Studies. By publishing such a diverse array of material, we hope to demonstrate the extraordinary value of the humanities in general, and German Studies in particular, on a variety of intellectual and cultural levels. This issue features sections about German Studies approaches to media literacy, Stephen Dowden's book »Modernism and Mimesis« and the poetics of ambiguous memory.

Het compostcirculatieplan
In 'Het compostcirculatieplan' van Anton Valens krijgt schrijver en kunstenaar Peter Vervest , na de dood van zijn ‘literaire butler’ toegang tot een volkstuin. Hij heeft deze plek om af en toe naar toe te vluchten meer dan nodig; met zijn kunst en plek in de maatschappij wil het namelijk niet lukken. Tijdens zijn bezigheden in de volkstuin herinnert hij zich hoe de butler zijn meelezende adviseur was geworden. De twee bouwden in twee jaar een bloeiende vriendschap op, tot een ongeneeslijke ziekte Peters ideale lezer velde. Spitten, sjouwen, wroeten, zweten in zon, wind en regen – de klonten bagger en modder vliegen je tijdens het lezen in het gezicht en om de oren.
