This award-winning science history explores our evolving image of the globe—and how it has shifted our relationship to the world. Long before we had the ability to photograph the earth from space—to see our planet as it would be seen by the Greek god Apollo—images of the earth as a globe had captured popular imagination. In Apollo’s Eye, geographer Denis Cosgrove examines the historical implications for the West of conceiving and representing the earth as a globe: a unified, spherical body. Cosgrove traces how ideas of globalism and globalization have shifted historically in relation to changing images of the earth, from antiquity to the Space Age. He connects the evolving image of a unified globe to politically powerful conceptions of human unity.

The second book in the trilogy: Charlie the Great White Horse and the Journey to the North Pole. The three protagonists that gave Charlie so much trouble in the first book are back again, and up to no good. Charlie has taken ill at the North Pole because the magic that lies within the string of "Magic Jingle Bells" has been broken, and now Christmas might be lost forever. The, "The "Missouri Rats" and Squint-Eye Pete are no good crooks who have devised a sinister plan, take over the daily operations of Santa's Village from Charlie and steal Christmas's future, from all the children of the world. Louis, Chug, and Hot Tamale Molly (a neighborhood girl) have been by fate, decreed to be the saviors of the future of Christmas, and have been given the daunting task of returning the magic back into the string of "Magic Jingle Bells". The three brave friends must embark on a long, and very dangerous trek, to the North Pole to reach Santa's Village before Christmas Eve, before the dwindling magic that is keeping Charlie alive, is no more. The three young adventurers with help from "Jupiter the Show Horse" and his best friend Apollo, get help from the strangest of characters throughout their arduous journey, with each giving all the help they can to save Christmas, but mostly they all try to give little Louis the courage that he will need to succeed, at the dramatic and climatic ending. The prequel for this series is now complete for this trilogy: The Journey to Northumberland and the Rise of the Undertoads. Look for that book on Amazon.com. as well.

David Jones and the Craft of Theology

• Author : Elizabeth R Powell
• Publisher : Bloomsbury Publishing
• Release Date : 2020-10-01
• Genre: Religion
• Pages : 168
• ISBN 10 : 9780567691651

This is an imaginative exploration of the art of David Jones which addresses Christian teaching through engagement with selected artistic works: a poem, a painted inscription and a wood engraving. Elizabeth R. Powell's study does not just enable readers to understand Jones but also to use his kind of loving attention in their own lives – which, Jones would argue, is theology's most important task. Through close readings of material objects, Powell draws the reader into the participatory, performative and dialogical possibilities of the craft of theology. She frames an older style of theology in a distinctive and modern way, as a graced human practice and a place of transforming relation with the divine. Powell argues that Jones's art works offer places of beauty in which to 'become beauty' along the way. Located at the cross-section of theology, literature and the arts, this volume shows that being interdisciplinary is nothing less than finding ways for theology and humanity to be more richly itself.

Euripides and Alcestis

• Author : Kiki Gounaridou
• Publisher : University Press of America
• Release Date : 1998
• Genre: Drama
• Pages : 132
• ISBN 10 : 0761812318

Euripides and Alcestis demonstrates the inherent presence of indeterminacy in Euripides' play, Alcestis. The author uses about eighty of the scholarly attempts to establish a determinate meaning of the play to exhibit the difficulty and lack of success in previous attempts at interpretation. She recognizes that the meaning of the play is surrounded by ambiguity and indeterminacy and provides an interpretation based on this knowledge. As an interpretation, the author focuses on Admetus' desire in relation to Alcestis' statue and his nature as a fifth century Athenian man while exposing Alcestis as a nonidentity. She also analyzes the issues of representation and spectatorship, showing that the theatrical performance is constructed in order to function as vehicles for the satisfaction of a dominant position-that of Admetus and the spectator of the performance.

The Poem as Icon

• Author : Margaret H. Freeman
• Publisher : Oxford University Press
• Release Date : 2020-03-13

Poetry is the most complex and intricate of human language used across all languages and cultures. Its relation to the worlds of human experience has perplexed writers and readers for centuries, as has the question of evaluation and judgment: what makes a poem "work" and endure. The Poem as Icon focuses on the art of poetry to explore its nature and function: not interpretation but experience; not what poetry means but what it does. Using both historic and contemporary approaches of embodied cognition from various disciplines, Margaret Freeman argues that a poem's success lies in its ability to become an icon of the felt "being" of reality. Freeman explains how the features of semblance, metaphor, schema, and affect work to make a poem an icon, with detailed examples from various poets. By analyzing the ways poetry provides insights into the workings of human cognition, Freeman claims that taste, beauty, and pleasure in the arts are simply products of the aesthetic faculty, and not the aesthetic faculty itself. The aesthetic faculty, she argues, should be understood as the science of human perception, and therefore constitutive of the cognitive processes of attention, imagination, memory, discrimination, expertise, and judgment.
