The third part of the Sorrow Song Trilogy, The Blade's Fell Blow, tells the story of the Battle of Hastings, 1066, through the eyes of the significant historical figures and the fictional Saxon warrior, Coenred. Having fought twice already Coenred had looked to retire to his estate with the beautiful Mildryth, but he is a man of honour and he cannot ignore the call to stand under the banner of King Harold of England. The Normans have invaded the south, laid waste to the land, committed outrages against the people, and look to bring the Saxons to battle in a place and time of their choosing. What the Duke of Normandy does not know is that the King of Norway had already invaded the north of England and King Harold had moved swiftly to meet the threat of the Vikings.In a matter of days, the war-weary Saxons travel the long road to London and then on to meet the Normans near the town of Hastings. Once again they will raise their spears and their shields and fight to defend their people and their land. The Duke of Normandy will discover them a hardy foe who will push him to the brink of defeat.In the north, Mildryth waits patiently for her lover to return but she also has her own battles to fight. Pursued by the murderous Wulfhere, she resolves to be rid of the man who has haunted her life for too long.Meticulously researched to bring the times and the characters to life The Blade's Fell Blow concludes a rich and evocative account of one of the most apocalyptic years in the history of England. The everyday life of the people is realised through the experiences of fictional characters, the rich texture of Anglo-Saxon culture and history explored, and the courage of men and women displayed.At Sentlach Ridge near Hastings the Saxons stood and fought to save everything they knew from a foreign invader, this is their song of sorrow about what transpired there.

The Dialogic Evangelical Theology of Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen

The Dialogic Evangelical Theology of Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen

Peter C. Phan

BLOOMSBURY PUBLISHING PLC
2022
sidottu
In this book, established scholars from different religions, regions, and disciplines continue the dialogue that Veli-Matti Kärkkäinen began in his A Constructive Christian Theology for the Pluralistic World series and respond to his work in light of their diverse expertise and context. Each of the three parts focuses on a key area of Kärkkäinen’s engaging work: 1) highlighting how his method shaped each volume, 2) highlighting his commitment to global perspectives, and 3) highlighting his interreligious and interdisciplinary dialogue partners. Together, these essays seek to deepen and extend the impact of Kärkkäinen’s work, taking it seriously as a substantive model for contemporary systematic theology in listening and engaging with this world.

Staging a Comeback

Staging a Comeback

Peter C. Kunze

RUTGERS UNIVERSITY PRESS
2023

In the early 1980s, Walt Disney Productions was struggling, largely bolstered by the success of its theme parks. Within fifteen years, however, it had become one of the most powerful entertainment conglomerates in the world. Staging a Comeback: Broadway, Hollywood, and the Disney Renaissance argues that far from an executive feat, this impressive turnaround was accomplished in no small part by the storytellers recruited during this period. Drawing from archival research, interviews, and textual analysis, Peter C. Kunze examines how the hiring of theatrically trained talent into managerial and production positions reorganized the lagging animation division and revitalized its output. By Aladdin, it was clear that animation—not live action—was the center of a veritable “renaissance” at Disney, and the animated musicals driving this revival laid the groundwork for the company’s growth into Broadway theatrical production. The Disney Renaissance not only reinvigorated the Walt Disney Company but both reflects and influenced changes in Broadway and Hollywood more broadly.

The words we use to describe people, places, things and actions is an interesting study. And sometimes it is a little bit humorous. This little book of drawings illustrates the use of the word head in every day language, like "head"quarters, or missile "head." It is fun and a great coffee table book.
