So that You May be One
In the spring of 1957, Joa Bolendas, a mother and pastor's wife living in Switzerland, began to experience a series of visions and conversations with spiritual beings. Now available for the first time in English, this astonishing book records these conversations, which took place from 1957 to 1990, in simple, descriptive language, unembellished by interpretation. Excerpts from her journal describe the personal struggle of handling the profound information that came to her. The messages that emerge from the visions about important theological themes, such as the Grail, the rosary, icons, and the Old and New Testaments, ultimately urge us toward a new unity -- of the churches, of the forces within each individual, and of the peoples of the world.
Rings of the Templars
In the Rings of the Templars, Jim Kirkwood, a self-indulgent and at times unsympathetic profiteer, joins forces with the Chief of a Scottish Clan and a beautiful Archeologist in search of lost treasure in the snow-covered highlands of Scotland. Hidden for over five hundred years, the treasure reaches back into biblical times and contains truths that, if rediscovered, would unravel the fabric of the Christian era. Betrayals and lies attempts to derail his quest as the grave of an ancient Knight surrenders the encrypted keys setting the stage for deception, murder and the greatest archeological find of all times.
Already, Too Late
In post-war Glasgow a primary school class was set a composition topic: a memorable family event. Each child completed the assignment – all, that is, but one. Why didn't you write about your family? Please, miss. I didn't, I didn't know what to write. But now, he does. In Already, Too Late, Carl MacDougall, one of Scotland's most accomplished and celebrated literary writers, presents a memoir of extraordinary authenticity and honesty. This memoir takes us through MacDougall's upbringing, both in and out of care on the west coast of Scotland, Fife, and industrial Glasgow, during the first decade of his life. Within this world, now teetering on the brink of our collective memory, sits a single-parent household of German descent; money is tight, trauma roams free and tragedy comes calling again and again. Through a powerful mosaic of stories, MacDougall strips away all rose-tinted sentimentality to create a vivid account of heart-break, dissociation and loss. Already, Too Late is the early life of an outsider looking in, a changeling child, displaced, alone, and – in his own grandmother's words – 'no right'. Because for some, even the very beginning is already too late.
Beyond Our Means
"Garon's insightful and provocative new book couldn't be more important, and couldn't be more timely. The prosperity of Americans, and America, now depends on creating a nation of savers and investors, and Garon shows us the way by bringing the experience and lessons of nations worldwide right into our hands."--Ray Boshara, senior fellow, "New America Foundation."
Neo-Confucianism and Science in Korea
Historians of late premodern Korea have tended to regard it as a hermit kingdom, isolated from its neighbours and the wider world. In fact, as Ro argues in this book, Korean intellectuals were heavily influenced by both Chinese Neo-Confucianism and the European Enlightenment in the late 18th and 19th centuries. In the late Choson period the regime felt threatened by the new, more empirical, approaches to knowledge emerging from both the East and the West. For this reason many Korean intellectuals felt it necessary to work in the shadows and formed secret societies for the study of nature. Because of the secrecy of these societies, much of their work has remained unknown even in Korea until recent years. Ho looks at the work of these intellectuals and analyses the impact their thinking and experimentation had on knowledge production in Korea. A fascinating insight into the largely overlooked story of how globalization affected intellectual life in Korea before the 20th century. This book will be of great interest to students and researchers of Korean history and of Asian intellectual history more broadly.
