From the fabulous partnership of award-winning author Jim Helmore and the brilliant Richard Jones comes a stunning book about friendship. When Caro and her mum move to a new house, Caro becomes lonely. There’s only so much exploring she can do by herself! It’s not long though before she makes a new friend – The Snow Lion. He’s as white as snow, and together they have fun playing hide and seek, chasing and sliding. However, it’s soon time for Caro to venture out on her own . . . With a slighty magical, classic feel and a lovely message, The Snow Lion is a story which will appeal to children and parents alike, and the beautiful illustrations make this a book to treasure.
Enthusiasts look forward to a time when tiny machines reassemble matter and process information but is their vision realistic? 'Soft Machines' explains why the nanoworld is so different to the macro-world that we are all familar with and shows how it has more in common with biology than conventional engineering.
This an abridged version of the many blessings Fr. Richard Jones has received along the journey through the gift of the priesthood. Through the graces of family, mentors and spiritual friends, his journey of life has come to print. A priest's journal, chronicling the many facets of family life, friendships, sports, and his many years of pastoral ministry, including accounts of the people, places and events that shape a day in the life of a hospital chaplain in one of Pittsburgh's largest and busiest trauma-based hospitals. A definite read for anyone considering a vocation, a medical career, or any person curious about the spirituality of a pastoral priest.
Fr. Richard S. Jones, a Roman Catholic Priest from the Diocese of Pittsburgh who has served the diocese for 30 years, takes time to reflect, to pause, to ponder, and to pray over the graces that pour over one through ministry of service to others. These short chapters invite the reader to journey together through the seasons and treasure the gift of time. In a world where time is in short supply, it is critical to embrace solitude to plummet the deeper meaning and purpose in our lives. This work offers quotes, scripture readings, faith road maps, poems, personal reflections and prayers to assist the reader to see everyday graces that wash over our lives daily.
This book delves into humanity’s compulsive need to valorize criminals. The criminal hero is a seductive figure, and audiences get a rather scopophilic pleasure in watching people behave badly. This book offers an analysis of the varied and vexing definitions of hero, criminal, and criminal heroes both historically and culturally. This book also examines the global presence, gendered complications, and gentle juxtapositions in criminal hero figures such as: Robin Hood, Breaking Bad, American Gods, American Vandal, Kabir, Plunkett and Macleane, Martha Stewart, Mary Read, Anne Bonny, Ocean’s 11, Ocean’s Eleven, and Let The Bullets Fly.
How did medieval people make sense of their surroundings, and how did this change over the years as understanding and knowledge expanded? This new Seminar Study is designed to familiarise students of medieval history with the ways in which medieval people interpreted the world around them – how they rationalised their observations, and why they developed the models for understanding that they did. Most importantly, it shows how ideas changed over the medieval period, and why. With extensive primary source material, this book builds up a picture using medieval encyclopedias, prose literature and poetry, records of estate management, agricultural treatises, scientific works, annals and chronicles, as well as the evidence from art, architecture, archaeology and the landscape itself. An excellent introduction for undergraduate students of Medieval history, or for anyone with an interest in the medieval natural world.
