PLACE
This is a collection of eight contemporary short stories that emphasize or reflect the places in which they are set. Every traveler has experienced an emotional or intellectual connection to compelling places visited in their travels. These gripping stories will add to their own experiences by virtual visits to places they are familiar with or to which have never been. Readers will discover that oftentimes the past is as inmportant as the present in the way in which they are experienced.
Milton, Music and Literary Interpretation
Milton, Music and Literary Interpretation: Reading through the Spirit constructs a musical methodology for interpreting literary text drawn out of John Milton’s poetry and prose. Analyzing the linkage between music and the Holy Spirit in Milton’s work, it focuses on harmony and its relationship to Milton’s theology and interpretative practices. Linking both the Spirit and poetic music to Milton’s understanding of teleology, it argues that Milton uses musical metaphor to capture the inexpressible characteristics of the divine. The book then applies these musical tools of reading to examine the non-trinitarian union between Father, Son, and Spirit in Paradise Lost, argues that Adam and Eve’s argument does not break their concord, and puts forward a reading of Samson Agonistes based upon pity and grace.
What Next?!
Ideally, biographies should be inspiratrional, but that objective is presumptuous for an autobiography. Maybe entertaining is a more realistic one. So, gentle reader, would you like to know how it feels as a twenty four year old lieutenant to command a 2,000 man Marine Corps regiment, if only for a few days? Or how your "flight or fight" response helps, if it does, when someone is trying to shoot you with a hunting rifle? How hot would you have to be to wade into Piranha-infested Amazonian waters to cool down? How do the twenty one million residents of Mumbai launder their clothes? Did you know the Kremlin houses four cathedrals but no prisons? That there is a huge, gleaming highrise city in...
My Career in Teaching
A lifetime of teaching and managing at six different high schools is recollected in this highly readable autobiography. At each school, there are an enthralling range of characters and experiences, some serious, some entertaining, but one thing is for sure; teaching young people is never dull. Developing what is referred to as the 'craft of the classroom' is the key to success and, through this, positively influencing the lives of hundreds of boys and girls. Teaching is a real privilege, a great opportunity, but with this comes an awesome responsibility. David Ainsworth explores this in full as he recalls a successful, rewarding and, at times, challenging career in teaching.
In Extremis
In 2035, as the nation slides into economic collapse caused by a perfect storm of oil scarcity and cyber warfare, a U.S. Marine officer and his journalist ex-wife are drawn into international intrigue involving the People’s Republic of China, a rogue element in the U.S. national security apparatus, and a mentally unstable oil-state Senator running for President. Vincent and Grace Long are actors in a chaotic, frightening, and ultimately life-affirming odyssey of collapse, adaptation and survival. The reader will be startled to find the country and the world in the dystopian condition characterized in this novel, especially since the story takes place a mere two decades into the future. Yet an ever-increasing global population accelerates exhaustion of the energy resources needed for survival even as climate change compounds scarcity. Onset of the crisis occurs when America and the industrialized world hit “peak oil,” and demand exceeds terminally declining supply—something that will occur sooner than you think.
Milton and the Spiritual Reader
Milton and the Spiritual Reader considers how John Milton’s later works demonstrate the intensive struggle of spiritual reading. Milton presents his own rigorous process of reading in order to instruct his readers how to advance their spiritual knowledge. Recent studies of Milton’s readers neglect this spiritual dimension and focus on politics. Since Milton considers the individual soul at least as important as the body politic, Ainsworth focuses on uncovering the spiritual characteristics of the reader Milton tries to shape through his texts. He also examines Milton’s reading practices without postulating the existence of some ideal or universal reader, and without assuming a gullible...
Locating Milton
Locating Milton: Places and Perspectives collects nine previously unpublished essays that examine Milton’s works as the product of his unique intellectual experiences at home and abroad, while also tracing the ways in which those works themselves express the influence of his travel, his reading, and his political engagement. Following an interpretive introduction that seeks to locate Milton through his last surviving letter, the first group of essays examine how young Milton locates himself through his travels in Italy, how Milton’s early reading leads him to situate himself intellectually, and how the intellectual framework Milton generated remains pertinent to students and communities ...
