Essays in the Judaic Background of Mark 11:12–14, 20–21; 15:23; Luke 1:37; John 19:28–30; and Acts 11:28

These five essays deal with the influence of Judaic haggadah or lore, especially in the form of “creative historiography” or “imaginative dramatization,” on four enigmatic passages in the Gospels, and one in Acts. They point to their deeper theological truths and negate the alternatives of true or false, historical or non-historical, usually applied to the narratives.
Running programs in Chico in the 1970s were similar to those elsewhere. Famed University of Oregon coach Bill Bowerman had introduced the sport of jogging; American Frank Shorter was the winner of the marathon at the 1972 Olympics; and Steve Prefontaine, running for Oregon, drew thousands of fans to see him race. A distant 384 miles south of Eugene, Oregon, lay Chico, a small rural town in northern California. In these exciting times, a high school coach there put together the top Cross Country teams and developed the best collection of distance runners the town had seen, then or since. Included among the male and female athletes were the "Charlie's Angels"-seven high school girls which, in 1977, Harrier magazine ranked second in the nation. Five years earlier, an elite miler at the local college had the community abuzz with his quest to break the magic four-minute barrier. Meanwhile, two feisty marathoners (former college boxers) were leading the road-racing contingent in town. While doing so, they met the existing Olympic Trials qualifying standard for the 26.2-mile race. This book transports readers back to an age of innocence and excellence to run in the footsteps of the athletes of that era. One hundred and fourteen photographs add value to this work.
Routledge Revivals: Mark Twain as a Literary Comedian (1979)

Originally published in 1979, Mark Twain as a Literary Comedian looks at how Mark Twain addressed social issues through humour. The Southwest provided the subject for much of Twain’s writing, but the roots of his style lay principally in north-eastern humour. In the mid-1800s the northern United States underwent social changes that reflected in the writing of the literary humourists like Twain. Sloane argues that he used humour to describe conditions in the emerging middle-class urban experience and express his American vision and that Twain’s views on the human, social, and political conditions, presented through his fictional characters, elevated the use of literary humour in the American novel.

Everyday mindreading, a house full of Buddhas, and the papaya scent of the soul. An interview with Custer at a place of his choosing, “probably a steakhouse.” The ability of dogs to smell the uncool. Hitler's barber imagines what might have been if only he'd leaned his weight into the razor. An oblivious Coronado narrowly avoids an ambush on the American plains. Freud lecherously lifts the skirt of a Mexican housekeeper who has far too much work to be bothered by “a pillar of modern thought. Or just some dirty old man.” In lesser hands such disparate elements might fly wildly out of control. But in David Shumate's understated, brilliant prose poems, they come together in miraculously vivid riffs. The narrator of the title poem rhapsodizes, “I wouldn't mind seeing another good flood before I die. It's been dry for decades. Next time I think I'll just let go and drift downstream and see where I end up.” Shumate's deft and refreshing collection takes us to amazing places with its plainspoken meditations.
No power, and batteries used up? This book and an inexpensive Mark 3 sextant lets you carry on. Alternatively, if you want to learn a basic celestial navigation position fix for any reason with minimum investment, this book shows how to do that. It's a short book, mostly tables. You can read it in an hour or two, master the sights in less than that, and find your position the next time you see the noonday sun.Our guiding principle for this booklet was to provide a means of learning and executing a position fix at sea when a vessel has lost its GPS navigation. We wanted a solution that is compact and inexpensive, using tables and procedures that are easy to learn and use. This goal led to our proposing a minimum kit that mariners would not hesitate to add to their gear to cover the unlikely situation it would actually be needed. Mariners who cross oceans in small boats realize they must be self-reliant and cover all contingencies.For those who did not have the chance to learn the full range of celestial navigation, this booklet and a Mark 3 sextant provide a minimum backup that can be used to navigate across any ocean if needed.The almanac pages included have been custom designed to facilitate fast, easy solutions for Lat and Lon from the sun, plus we include a unique new Regiment of the North Star for easy Latitude by Polaris sights on any date.

Our First Gospel: The Doctrinal Argument for Mark's Priority Is Inadequate, the Traditional View of Matthew's Priority Remains in Posses

""Our First Gospel"" by Francis David Pansini challenges the traditional view that the Gospel of Matthew was the first written Gospel, and argues that the Gospel of Mark was actually the earliest Gospel account. Pansini critiques the doctrinal argument for Mark's priority, which he deems inadequate, and instead presents evidence for Matthew's dependence on Mark's Gospel. The book also explores the implications of this revised understanding of Gospel chronology for the development of early Christianity. Despite his argument for Mark's priority, Pansini acknowledges that the traditional view of Matthew's priority remains in possession, and offers a nuanced perspective on the ongoing debate. Overall, ""Our First Gospel"" is a scholarly work that engages with biblical scholarship and theological debates, and offers a fresh perspective on the origins of the Gospel accounts.Catholic University Of America, Studies In Sacred Theology, No. 93.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

But rebel General Franco is so confident of winning that he has opened up battlefield tourism along the country's north coast. Jack Telford, a left-wing reporter, finds himself with an eccentric group of touristson one of the War Route's yellow Chrysler buses. Driven by his passion for peace, Telford attempts to uncover the hidden truths beneath the conflict. But Jack must contend first with his own gullibility, the tragic death of a fellow passenger, capture by Republican guerrilleros, a final showdown at Spain's most holy shrine and the possibility that he has been badly betrayed. Betrayed and in serious danger.
This book sets out to explain the fundamental principles governing the legal protection of trade marks in the United Kingdom and the European Union. After an in-depth analysis of the multifarious functions of trade marks in a market economy, the author undertakes what must surely be the most exhaustive study ever attempted of the so-called absolute grounds on which trade marks may be denied registration. The treatment of the subject is rigorous, scholarly, critical, and occasionally iconoclastic. The book is essential reading for anyone - lawyers, teachers, judges, businesspeople - interested in the subject of trade mark law. David T. Keeling is a British barrister who was an official of the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg for a lengthy period before moving to Alicante in 1996 to join the EU's newly created trade mark office (now called the European Union Intellectual Property Office or EUIPO). He was a member of the Boards of Appeal of the Office for 15 years, during which time he wrote over a thousand decisions on trade mark appeals.
