The Heath - Hunter Davies - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The Heath - Hunter Davies - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

An engaging portrait of Hampstead Heath – a place rich not just in natural wonders but in history and monuments, emotions and memories, people and places. ''I enjoyed every inch of the way, from Parliament Hill to the Pergola... A late-life little masterpiece'' Ferdinand Mount ''A love letter, both to the Heath and to his late wife'' Islington Tribune ''An affectionate book which blends personal anecdote, history and interviews'' Ham & High The eight hundred acres of Hampstead Heath lie just four miles from central London; and yet unlike the manicured inner-city parks, it feels like the countryside: it has hills and lakes, wild spots and tame spots.Hunter Davies has lived within a stone''s throw of Hampstead Heath for more than sixty years and has walked on it nearly every day of his London life. For him, it is not just a place of recreation and relaxation but also a treasure-house of memories and emotions. In The Heath , he visits all parts of this, the largest area of common land in Britain''s capital city: from Kenwood House to the Vale of Health, from Parliament Hill to Boudicca''s Mound, and from the Ladies Bathing Pond to the fabulous pergola. As he walks, Davies talks to the diverse array of individuals who frequent the Heath: regulars; visitors; dog walkers; stall holders at the weekly farmer''s market; famous faces having their morning stroll; twenty-first-century hippies spreading peace, love and happiness.

Robert Redford and American Cinema - Dr Michael (birkbeck Allen - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Robert Redford and American Cinema - Dr Michael (birkbeck Allen - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Michael Allen''s insightful study explores the long and diverse career of the actor and director Robert Redford, from his early work in theatre and TV to his contemporary status as an iconic and enduring star. Allen assesses Redford’s importance to the American film industry during a period of great transformation: as an influential industry player, an award-winning director and a committed political activist. Allen considers Redford’s individual achievements in the context of shifts and changes in the industry as a whole: some of which benefited Redford’s own progress and development; some which he engineered himself, as well as discussing Redford''s star persona in relation to ageing and masculinity.

The Irish Wars 1485–1603 - Ian Heath - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The Irish Wars 1485–1603 - Ian Heath - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The Reformation in England further distanced the Irish, as the majority of Irishmen adhered stubbornly to their Catholicism. Eventually, in Elizabeth''s reign, both sides resorted to the use of force on a large scale in a series of bloody wars and rebellions that were to culminate in the Earl of Tyrone''s "Great Rebellion" of 1595-1603. This text by Ian Heath looks at the history, organization and tactics of the armies of the Irish Wars (1485-1603), armies which included such troops as the fearsome Irish Galloglasses, who bore a deadly axe six feet long with a blade that was one foot broad!

The Taiping Rebellion 1851–66 - Ian Heath - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The Taiping Rebellion 1851–66 - Ian Heath - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The Taiping movement began as the Pai Shang-ti Hui (the Society of God-Worshippers), founded in Kwangsi province in 1846 by Hung Hsiu-ch'uan. A sickly individual of questionable sanity. Hung had become subject to visions which interpreted as demonstrating that he was Jesus Christ's 'Divine Younger Brother', with God's mandate to govern China. This fascinating work by Ian Heath examines the organisation, dress and weapons of forces on both sides of the Taiping Rebellion – a conflict which saw the involvement of around 10 million troops during 15 years of conflict; as many as 600 cities change hands time and time again; and 20-30 million deaths.

1 & 2 Chronicles: An Introduction and Study Guide - Leslie C. Allen - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

1 & 2 Chronicles: An Introduction and Study Guide - Leslie C. Allen - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Leslie C. Allen introduces students to the 1 & 2 Chronicles in the Old Testament, incorporating insights from over two decades of previous scholarship while grounding his analysis in earlier key works. “A Message for Yehud” sums up what has been judged to be a fundamental motivation underlying the whole book, a conviction that the obligation to “seek the Lord” in the light of the Torah and prophetic texts must be laid on the hearts of the community of Yehud in the fourth century BCE. To this end, using Samuel-Kings as a basis, Chronicles reviewed pre-exilic royal history for positive and negative clues as to how the generation for which it was written might achieve this spiritual ideal. In the book, Allen shows how this program was communicated all through the book by literary and rhetorical means.

First Holy Communion - Sir Mark Allen - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

First Holy Communion - Sir Mark Allen - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Mark Allen found no suitable published book to prepare his son for First Holy Communion. First Holy Communion in the Roman Catholic Church is something of the greatest significance equivalent to confirmation in the Church of England or Bar Mitzvah for Jewish children. A lot of the material published is trite and worst of all tends to patronise the children for whom it is intended.To help parents and teachers answer questions about the ceremony Mark Allen offers readings and background from scripture and catechism. Children are hard-headed and like stories and facts. The narrative of the Bible provides facts, events which happened, and along with them the objective truths of revelation.The Mass is our sacramental encounter with the person of Jesus. Preparation therefore should be based on him and on the Gospel story of His life. The preparation should reflect the unity of the mass, its liturgy of the Word and the Eucharistic Rite, the mystery of Christ in our community as Church.Routine is the key aid to progress. The course provided in this book is based on a series of half hour sessions for parent and teacher with the child. It is thus both practical and down to earth.

Illiterate Apostles - Dr Allen Hilton - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Illiterate Apostles - Dr Allen Hilton - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Allen Hilton examines how pagan critics ridiculed the early Christians for being uneducated, and how a few literate Christians took up pen to defend the illiterate members of their churches. Hilton sheds light on the peculiarity of this “defense”, in which the authors openly admit that the critics have the facts on their side, noting that the Book of Acts even calls two of its heroes, Peter and John, illiterates. Why did the authors of these biblical texts, intent on presenting Christianity in a positive light, volunteer such a negative detail? The answer to this question reveals a fascinating social exchange that first surrounded education levels in antiquity, and proceeded to make its way into the New Testament. This volume provides context for pagan education as opposed to early Christian illiteracy – touching upon the methods of ancient learning and the relationship between Christian and pagan schools – and analyses the ‘uneducated virtue’ of the Apostles. Hilton provides a useful window onto the social construction of ancient education and ushers readers into the everyday experience of ancient Christians, and those who disdained and defended them.

From prize-winning historical novelist Louise Allen, this book presents eight walks through both the London Jane Austen knew and the London of her novels!

Sunbirds of the World - Richard Allen - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Sunbirds of the World - Richard Allen - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

'' This is a gorgeous book about some of the world''s most gorgeous birds.'' JARED DIAMOND Sunbirds are some of the most striking of all bird families; their dazzling iridescent plumage and long curved bills are conspicuous when the birds visit garden flowers on sunny days to feed on nectar. Some species - especially the females - are duller in appearance and harder to spot, feeding mostly on insects high up in forest canopies. Spiderhunters, as their name suggests, feed extensively on spiders, while sunbirds'' other close relatives, the flowerpeckers, are especially partial to mistletoe berries.This new edition has been fully revised and updated to reflect the many developments that have occurred in sunbird taxonomy, as well as the new research that has been published on their biology. It now covers all 218 currently recognised species, providing details of key identification features, voice, habitat, distribution, conservation status, movements, food and behaviour. New colour plates by award-winning artist Richard Allen have been added, and hundreds of high-quality colour photographs beautifully capture every species. Maps for each of the subspecies depict geographical distributions for the first time.This beautiful book remains the definitive guide to the sunbirds, flowerpeckers, spiderhunters and sugarbirds of the world, and is essential reading for researchers, birders and conservationists alike.

The Knowledge of God - Dr Michael Allen - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The Knowledge of God - Dr Michael Allen - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The Knowledge of God turns to consider the knowledge of God revealed in the Word of God, with several essays addressing the doctrine of God, then the person of Christ, and finally the miracle of the church.Michael Allen shows the exegetical shape of historical and dogmatic reasoning as well as the significance of thinking about these topics in their interrelationships with a range of other Christian themes, not least the doctrine of the living and true God. In each of these topics, the theme of the promise and nature of God’s presence (whether in his own life or then in the economy of the incarnation and of the church) proves to be a unifying thread. The gospel is shown to be rooted backward in God’s own life and to have consequence forward for the ongoing life of Christ displayed in his church.This volume explores what it means to learn of and come to know God, who has life in himself and then shares his life with us in the coming of his Son and the ongoing presence amidst his body, the church of Christ.

The Age of Liutprand - Dr Christopher Heath - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The Age of Liutprand - Dr Christopher Heath - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The Age of Liutprand provides a thematic analysis of Lombard Italy in the pivotal early part of the 8th century. It surveys the crucial role and rule of Liutprand [712-44], the powerful and effective Lombard king. By restoring this successful exemplar of Lombard kingship to the centre of events and developments in the Italian peninsula, this book pulls together all the pertinent evidence for a ‘new’ kingship in Lombard Italy that used a sophisticated set of strategies to enhance, deepen and expand its effectiveness. In presenting an evaluation of Italy on the cusp of dramatic change, this book explains how not only the kingship of Liutprand, but also his legal reforms and his relationships with the Church and neighbouring peoples all contributed to a model of kingship successfully and subsequently deployed by Charlemagne and his successors later in the 8th century.
