Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Reflecting Ruskin's belief that art is not an isolated pursuit, but one intimately connected with all aspects of human life, Lectures on Art explores the relation of art to religion, morals, and practicality as well as the significance of line, light, and color. 'The following lectures were the most important piece of my literary work done with unabated power, best motive, and happiest concurrence of circumstance. They were written and delivered while my mother yet lived, and had vividest sympathy in all I was attempting;-while also my friends put unbroken trust in me, and the course of study I had followed seemed to fit me for the acceptance of noble tasks and graver responsibilities than those only of a curious traveler, or casual teacher. Men of the present world may smile at the sanguine utterances of the first four lectures: but it has not been wholly my own fault that they have remained unfulfilled; nor do I retract one word of hope for the success of other masters, nor a single promise made to the sincerity of the student's labor, on the lines here indicated.'.…

Condition: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | The Princess and the Goblin is one of the first books in the modern fantasy genre. This book had tremendous and very visible influence on all the (now much more famous) authors that came after it. It is of course very dated. It does not match the standards that fantasy have created since; in neither scope, story, characterisation or complexity. On the other hand, it is a rather enjoyable little fairytale, and it does have its positive sides. Mostly, though, this book is not really one you read for fun. Except maybe if you're eight years old and have never read a fantasy book. If that is not the case, this book is more an object for study than a source of entertainment. It's a satisfying read because it gives an impression of what fantasy was like in the 1800s, but that unfortunately also means that it gives an impression of what fantasy was like before it got really good.…

Condition: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Benjamin Anderson, American Austrian, was among a handful of economists, led by Ludwig von Mises in his pioneering work The Theory of Money and Credit in 1912, who set out to integrate monetary theory into a general theory of value. Anderson devoted a major portion of his great book The Value of Money, published in 1917, to a refutation of the "mechanical" quantity theory of money. He argued that the causes and effects from which the data of the quantity equation are constructed are disaggregated and complex; whatever the correlation between the aggregate variables of the quantity equation, correlation is not causation; causation cannot be established in the equation because there are no quantitative constants in human action (in particular, velocity is not constant); the quantity theory ignores time; there is no unambiguous way to define the variables in the theory: the money stock, velocity, the quantity of goods, and the price level. Anderson further holds that whatever true propositions the quantity theory offers can as well be deduced from a correct theory of value and that many true theories of modern economics (such as the laws of demand and supply, the theory of capitalization, and Gresham's law) are inconsistent with it. Although some true propositions can be had from the quantity theory, not every conclusion derived from it is true. Anderson expended much effort to demonstrate that many theories constructed upon it are false. For example, he argued that the independence between the stock of money and the quantity of goods, assumed for the purpose of reaching the conclusion that increases in the stock of money lead to proportional increases in the price level, if carried into macroeconomics has pernicious effects.…

Flora Annie Steel was a writer who lived in British India for 22 years. She was noted especially for books set in the Indian sub-continent or connected with it. Flora was interested in relating to all classes of Indian society. The birth of her daughter gave her a chance to interact with local women and learn their language. She encouraged the production of local handicrafts and collected folk-tales, a collection of which she published in 1894. In 1889 the family moved back to Britain, and she continued her writing there. Some of her best work, according to the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica, is contained in two collections of her short stories, From the Five Rivers and Tales of the Punjab. She also wrote a popular history of India. John F. Riddick describes Steel's The Hosts of the Lord as one of the "three significant works" produced by Anglo-Indian writers on Indian missionaries, along with The Old Missionary (1895) by William Wilson Hunter and Idolatry (1909) by Alice Perrin.…

Condition: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | "A Wonder Book for Girls and Boys" is a collection of classic Greek mythology retellings written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, a prominent American novelist and short story writer known for his contributions to American literature in the 19th century. The book was first published in 1852 and has since become a beloved and enduring classic in children's literature. In "A Wonder Book for Girls and Boys," Hawthorne adapts a selection of Greek myths and legends to make them more accessible and entertaining for a young audience. The stories are framed as a series of tales told by Hawthorne to a group of children who gather around him. The author's intention is to transport his young listeners into a magical world of mythology and wonder. The book contains several retellings of well-known Greek myths, including: "The Gorgon's Head": This story is a retelling of the Perseus and Medusa myth, focusing on Perseus's heroic quest to defeat the Gorgon and rescue Andromeda. "The Golden Touch": This story features King Midas, who learns a valuable lesson when he is granted the power to turn everything he touches into gold. "The Paradise of Children": In this tale, three children venture into the garden of the Hesperides and meet various mythological characters, including the dragon Ladon. "The Three Golden Apples": This narrative explores the myth of Hercules as he embarks on a quest to retrieve the golden apples of the Hesperides. "The Miraculous Pitcher": This story revolves around the adventures of a young boy named Epimetheus, who is gifted with a miraculous pitcher that provides an endless supply of food and drink.

He weaves moral lessons and themes into these mythological tales, making them not only entertaining but also instructive. The book's title suggests its target audience, but its imaginative and well-crafted storytelling has made it a timeless classic, appealing to readers of all generations who appreciate the enduring magic and wisdom of Greek mythology.…

Condition: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | A Participle is a word derived from a verb, participating the properties of a verb, and of an adjective or a noun; and is generally formed by adding ing, d, or ed, to the verb: thus, from the verb rule, are formed three participles, two simple and one compound; as, 1. ruling, 2. ruled, 3. having ruled. An Adverb is a word added to a verb, a participle, an adjective, or an other adverb; and generally expresses time, place, degree, or manner: as, They are now here, studying very diligently. A Conjunction is a word used to connect words or sentences in construction, and to show the dependence of the terms so connected: as, "Thou and he are happy, because you are good."-Murray. A Preposition is a word used to express some relation of different things or thoughts to each other, and is generally placed before a noun or a pronoun: as, "The paper lies before me on the desk."

Condition: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | The Book is intended for beginners, and in writing it, these words of Sir Thomas Elyot have not been forgotten: "Grammer, beinge but an introduction to the understandinge of autors, if it be made to longe or exquisite to the lerner, it in a maner mortifieth his corage: And by that time he cometh to the most swete and pleasant redinge of olde autors, the sparkes of fervent desire of lernynge are extincte with the burdone of grammer, lyke as a lyttell fyre is sone quenched with a great heape of small stickes." The Exercises in translation will, it is believed, furnish all the drill necessary to enable the student to retain the forms and constructions given in the various chapters. The Selections for Reading relate to the history and literature of King Alfred's day, and are sufficient to give the student a first-hand, though brief, acquaintance with the native style and idiom of Early West Saxon prose in its golden age. Most of the words and constructions contained in them will be already familiar to the student through their intentional employment in the Exercises. Advance sheets of the second part of this great work lead one to believe that when completed the three parts will constitute the most important contribution to the study of English syntax that has yet been made. Old English sentences have also been cited from Sweet's Anglo-Saxon Reader, Bright's Anglo-Saxon Reader, and Cook's First Book in Old English. The short chapter on the Order of Words has been condensed from my Order of Words in Anglo-Saxon Prose (Publications of the Modern Language Association of America, New Series, Vol. I, No. 2). Though assuming sole responsibility for everything contained in this book, I take pleasure in acknowledging the kind and efficient assistance that has been so generously given me in its preparation.…

Condition: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Dr. Théophile Pascal was a member of the Theosophical Society in France. He made friend with Annie Besant (a great British socialist, theosophist, women's rights activist and writer). He remained a highly influential figure over Western esotericism. This book contains four chapters :The Soul and the bodies.Reincarnation and the moral law.Reincarnation and science.Reincarnation and the religious and philosophical consensus of the ages. This is a valuable book to anyone interested in Theosophical teachings, like the reincarnations of the Soul. Excerpt: "In a book dealing with the resurrection of bodies and the reincarnations of the Soul, a chapter must be devoted to the fundamental elements of the question.We will give the name of Soul to abstract Being, to the Unknown, that unmanifested Principle which cannot be defined, for it is above all definition. It is the Absolute of Western philosophers, the Parabrahm of the Hindus, the Tao of the ancient sages of China, the causeless Cause of all that has been or ever will be manifested in concrete time and space.Some feeble idea of it may perhaps be obtained by comparing it with electricity, which, though the cause of various phenomena: heat, movement, chemical action, light, is not, per se, any one of these phenomena, undergoes no modification from their existence, and survives them when the apparatus through which they manifest disappears. We shall set up no distinction between this Soul, which may be called the universal Soul, and the individual soul, which has often been defined as a ray, a particle of the total Soul, for logically one cannot imply parts to the Absolute; it is illusion, limitation on our part, which shows us souls in the Soul.".…
