Father Rick Roamin' Catholic
As a boy, he played a priest saying Mass. Fast forward to the ’70s—long hair and rock-n-roll—a time for enjoying a new freedom as a budding young journalist at the Vancouver Sun. But after a random, chance trip to Seattle to visit family at a rectory, his life changed in an instant. Because when God calls, you answer. Father Rick thrived in the Second Vatican Council Reformation. He helped build communities and opened minds and hearts through his humour, passion, and understanding. Eleven years passed, and Father Rick began to feel the familiar pull of change. Love finds a way. He could no longer deny his new calling—husband to Suzanne and Dad to an irascible Adam who would lead him ...
Mountain Rivers, Mountain Roads: Transport in Southwest China, 1700‐1850
The commercialized economy of late imperial China depended on efficient transport, yet transport technologies, transport economics as well as its role in local societies and in interdependencies of environments and human activities are acutely under-researched. Nanny Kim analyses two transports systems into the Southwest of Qing China through the long eighteenth century and up to the mid-nineteenth century civil wars. The case studies explore shipping on the Upper Changjiang in Sichuan and through the Three Gorges into Hubei, and road transport out of the Sichuan Basin across northeastern Yunnan and northwestern Guizhou into central Yunnan. Specific and concrete investigations of a river that presented extreme dangers to navigation and carriage across the crunch zone of the Himalayan Plateau provides a basis for a systematic reconstruction of transport outside the lowland centres and their convenient networks of water transport.

Playing the Organ Works of César Franck
A companion to the author's Toward and Authentic Interpretation of the Organ Works of César Franck, this title applies the sources discussed in that volume in its practical approach to performance. Each of Franck's twelve major organ works is discussed in detail: the manuscript, the work's history and association with Franck and his circle, published editions, corrections to the 1959 Durand edition, and recorded performances. Technical problems are discussed and solutions provided. A glossary of terms found in Franck's organ works is provided with English translation; Franck's often confusing registration indications are translated and explained; performance of each work is discussed in light of the information provided by Franck's own pupils, their students and contemporaries. A bibliography of Franck literature published from 1983 to 1996 is also included.
César Franck
C sar Franck (1822-1890), Belgian born and French domiciled, was one of the most remarkable composers of the 19th century. A number of his works are commonly recorded--such as his Symphony in D Minor, Symphonic Variations, Violin Sonata, and the ever-popular Panis Angelicus--and yet 38 years have elapsed since a biography of him appeared in English. Now with C sar Franck: His Life and Times, R. J. Stove fills this gap in the history of late 19th-century classical music with a full-length study of the man and his music. Drawing on sources never before cited in English, Stove paints a far more detailed picture of this great musician and deeply loved man, whose influence in both his native and ...
Jeanne et Marguerite
Marguerite aime Eugène, et l’attend ; Jeanne aime James, et l’attend. Lettre après lettre, chacune écrit sa passion ardente, douce, impétueuse, éperdue ; les mêmes mots, les mêmes joies, le même chagrin, le même amour fou. Un siècle sépare Jeanne et Marguerite. Mais quel fil invisible les relie l’une à l’autre ?

Pêcheurs d'hommes
" Moi, c'est Nicolo. J'aurai bientôt vingt-cinq ans et jamais je ne quitterai Lampedusa. C'est mon île au centre de la mer. " Au coeur de la Méditerranée, entre Afrique et Europe, Lampedusa, symbole de l'une des plus grandes hontes contemporaines : au fi l des années, ces milliers d'hommes, de femmes et d'enfants fuyant la guerre et la misère, ceux qu'on appelle aujourd'hui " les migrants ", venus s'échouer, souvent mourir, sur ses côtes. Lampedusa, des paysages d'une beauté paradisiaque sous la sublime lumière du sud de l'Italie, mais mauvaise réputation, donc. Maudite ? Mal aimée, mal comprise en tout cas. Nicolo aurait toutes les raisons de la détester, cette île qui a rendu...
