The Counting House of Job & Elihu in Wrong-Thinking Camelot

The Counting House of Job & Elihu in Wrong-Thinking Camelot

J. Greg Deane

Independently Published
2018
nidottu
The Counting House of Job and Elihu in Wrong-thinking Camelot with unstinting praise. As the title suggests, the work is a fusion of biblical morality combined with the enchantment of the Arthurian cycle of knightly courtesy and chivalry. This enthralling novel is a gripping read because of the sardonic hilarity of its characters and the insightful dialogue that makes this a conversational novel that could easily be transformed into an expressionist drama that would easily surpass any of the plays of Chekhov. It is also a didactic satire that lampoons many of the strictures against thought and speech that have arisen in recent years, or those limiting conventions that have come to be included under the unfortunate label of political correctness. Mr. Deane is a stalwart opponent of these shackles that become increasingly heavy with each year, but they have not silenced him.

Verse upon whores, vegetables and other oddities: INTRODUCTION by Polonius Milton Thackeray Gregory

Verse upon whores, vegetables and other oddities: INTRODUCTION by Polonius Milton Thackeray Gregory

J. Greg Deane

The poetical works of Mr Deane are well-known to me. They have provided me with many happy hours. Though I am happy to have Mr Deane's works gathered here, apart from his Monastic Adventures of Polonius which is available in a separate volume, in a single volume where I can renew the pleasure of reading many of his familiar works, I could wish that were more of them that I did not know. For that reason, I envy the reader who is about to discover this new author, to come to know his wit, his wisdom, his humanity and his bardic talent. Mr Deane's poems on vegetable provide a most unexpected vein, ornamented cleverly with metre and rhyme, together with dietary information combined with historical perspectives and botanical insights. Many will be surprised by the witty humour that Mr Deane inimitably applies. He brings vegetables to life and imbues them with character that few, even those who regard themselves as enthusiasts for all aspects of nature, would have attributed to life forms they had regarded as essentially passive. It would be wrong of me to dismiss those who dismiss Mr Deane's insights as smutty when he delves into the world of prostitution, both among immigrants in Sydney's suburbs and in the seedier bars and dives of the sois of Thailand, especially Bangkok. Yet I would suggest that such critics are applying a particularly narrow focus that prevents them from gleaning wisdom and understanding about a world that affords moments of joyful interaction and economic opportunity to a large industry that embraces a large portion of humanity. Let it not be forgotten that both john and chippy interact commercially in the pursuit of happiness, not for the purpose of oppression or exploitation. For that reason, the oldest profession has prospered throughout history at all echelons of society, a fact that Mr Deane explores in his historical verse on a number of notorious, but fondly remembered, courtesans and harlots. On the other hand, his verse upon venereal disease shows Mr Deane is no stranger to the dangers of promiscuous intercourse, that he is a hero who has risked madness and even death to enjoy the pleasures of fleshpots. I salute the courage of Mr Deane. Mr Deane's genius is not limited to vegetables and prostitutes as is readily evidenced by a perusal of the amusing titles in the Table of Contents of this present volume. His poem upon admiration of the brick is proof of the originality of his genius. He has even seen the remarkable in a piece of chalk, and sung the virtues of detergent. He has provided a modern perspective of many classical myths and legends without intruding the restrictions of contemporary political correctness upon them. In fact, Mr Deane's greatness derives largely from his refusal to adapt to transient value systems where pseudo-moralists seek to impose their shifting, inconsistent standards to the works, beliefs and values of others. Even if this refusal were the only reason Mr Deane should be read and admired, his fame should be immortal. But there are so many other reasons for him to live in our hearts forever.

Imagining Spectatorship

Imagining Spectatorship

John J. McGavin; Greg Walker

Oxford University Press
2016
sidottu
Oxford Textual Perspectives is a new series of informative and provocative studies focused upon literary texts (conceived of in the broadest sense of that term) and the technologies, cultures and communities that produce, inform, and receive them. It provides fresh interpretations of fundamental works and of the vital and challenging issues emerging in English literary studies. By engaging with the materiality of the literary text, its production, and reception history, and frequently testing and exploring the boundaries of the notion of text itself, the volumes in the series question familiar frameworks and provide innovative interpretations of both canonical and less well-known works. Imagining Spectatorship offers a new discussion of how spectators witnessed early drama in the various spaces and places in which those works were performed. It combines broad historical and theoretical reflection with closely analysed case studies to produce a comprehensive account of the ways in which individuals encountered early drama, how they were cued to respond to it, and how we might think about those issues today. It addresses the practical matters that conditioned spectatorship, principally those concerned with the location and configuration of the spaces in which a performance occurred, but also suggests how these factors intersected with social status, gender, religious commitment and affiliation, degrees of real or felt personal agency, and the operation of the cognitive processes themselves. It considers both real witnesses and those 'imagined' spectators which are seemingly figured by both dramatic and quasi-dramatic works, and whose assumed attitudes play-makers sought to second-guess. It also looks at the spectatorial experience itself as a subject of representation in a number of early texts. Finally, it examines the complex contract entered into by audiences and players for the duration of a performance, looking at how texts cued spectators to respond to specific dramaturgical tropes and gambits and how audience response was itself a cause of potential anxiety for writers. The book resists the conventional divide between 'medieval' and 'early-modern' drama, using its focus on the spectators' experience to point connections and continuities across a diverse range of genres, such as processions and tourneys as well as scripted plays, pageants, and interludes; a variety of different venues, such as city streets, great halls, and playhouses, and a period of about 150 years to the Shakespearean stage of the 1590s and 1600s. It seeks to offer routes by which inferences about early spectatorship can be made despite the relative absence of personal testimony from the period.

Needs Assessment in Public Health

Needs Assessment in Public Health

Donna J. Petersen; Greg R. Alexander

Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers
2001
sidottu
The assessment function of public health is essential in the development of appropriate policy and programmatic solutions to persistent and emergent public health concerns. However, few public health professionals are adequately trained in these activities. This text follows the typical sequence of an actual needs assessment process. Case studies are used to illustrate conceptualization of the task through the application of needs-based data to effective public health solutions. Examples are drawn from myriad public health efforts, recognizing that not all public health sector agencies bear direct responsibility for all activities that could be considered part of public health. This volume has been designed to serve both students and practitioners interested in improving their understanding and skills in the area of needs assessment.

Who Owns Death?: Capital Punishment, the American Conscience, and the End of Executions

Robert J. Lifton; Greg Mitchell

HARPER PERENNIAL
2002
nidottu
In this timely book, Robert Jay Lifton and Greg Mitchell investigate the mindsets of individuals involved in the death penalty -- including prison wardens, prosecutors, jurors, religious figures, governors, judges, and relatives of murder victims -- and offer a textured look at a system that perpetuates the longstanding American habit of violence. Richly rewarding and meticulously researched, Who Owns Death? explores the history of the death penalty in the United States, from hanging to lethal injection, and considers what this search for more "humane" executions reveals about us as individuals and as a society... and what the future of the death penalty holds for us all.

Unleashing Peace

Unleashing Peace

Jeremiah J. Johnston; Greg Laurie

It's easy to think that emotional pain and feelings of hopelessness are modern issues. But two thousand years ago, Jesus ministered to people who were also longing for peace and happiness. His answer? God's peace--his Shalom, a word so important that it's translated seventy different ways in the Bible. This often-overlooked aspect of the Christian life is the foundation for deep, meaningful happiness. In this uplifting book, Jeremiah Johnston provides a biblical perspective on living a life of Shalom. Johnston reveals: * the peace Jesus offers vs. the peace the world promises but can't deliver * how to apply God's peace to our current situation and combat anxiety, fear, and hopelessness * how to protect this perfect peace in our lives when troubles try to steal it This book is also helpful for lay leaders, pastors, and everyone else who recognizes the church's incredible opportunity today to help individuals and families dealing with anxiety and depression.

L.A. Baseball: From the Pacific Coast League to the Major Leagues

Like all of America, Los Angeles first caught baseball fever in the 19th Century. The sport that writers dubbed the national pastime soon spread to every part of the Southland. Members of Riverside's Cahuilla Indian tribe played ball, Issei immigrants from Japan played besuboru, Mexican American kids played b isbol. African American players from the Negro Leagues gathered for wintertime training, while talented local ballplayers stocked the rosters of Major League teams: Fred Snodgrass, Walter Johnson, John "Chief" Meyers, Gavvy Cravath.As the game exploded in popularity, the Los Angeles Angels and the Hollywood Stars of the Pacific Coast League provided an exciting and entertaining brand of Minor League baseball. The arrival of the Dodgers from Brooklyn in 1958, a controversial decision that continues to be debated to this day, finally brought Major League Baseball to L.A. (with the Angels arriving in the American League in 1961). The Los Angeles Public Library's photo collection supplied the images for this book (and the accompanying exhibition). Many of the pictures were originally published in the Valley Times and Herald-Examiner newspapers. Others came from the groundbreaking "Shades of L.A." project. Together, they capture L.A.'s unique contribution to the national pastime: famous players and anonymous weekend warriors; changes in uniform style and ballpark architecture; and the timeless essence of a game roiled by social change.

BLOOMSBURY PUBLISHING PLC
2023
sidottu
Unbleaching the Curriculum: Enhancing Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Beyond in Schools and Society is an innovative work that applies a new perspective to curriculum desgin in U.S. public schools. Introducing the framework of unbleaching, the book explores curricular omissions and falsifications for the purpose of advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in school processes and practices. Its content is groundbreaking as it introduces readers to often omitted contributions such as The Teachings of PtahHotep, the oldest book in the world, and The Ahmes Papyrus, the oldest mathematical document in the world, among others. The Education Report indicate that U.S. schools are experiencing modest performance (NAEP, 2022). Thus, unbleaching framework has the potential to improve student performance through curriculum development that is informed by multicultural practices. The eight key tenets and processes of unbleaching provide the context for how the curriculum might address notable omissions and suppressed historical contributions and promote greater DEI in U.S. public schools.

Before the Machine

Before the Machine

Clerisy Press
2011

The Big Red Machine dominated major league baseball in the 1970s, but the Cincinnati franchise began its climb to that pinnacle in 1961, when an unlikely collection of cast-offs and wannabes stunned the baseball world by winning the National League pennant. Led by revered manager Fred Hutchinson, the team featured rising stars like Frank Robinson, Jim O'Toole, and Vada Pinson, fading stars like Gus Bell and Wally Post, and a few castoffs who suddenly came into their own, like Gene Freese and 20-game-winner Joey Jay. In time to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their pennant-winning season, the amazing story of the "Ragamuffin Reds" is told from start to finish in Before the Machine. Written by long-time Reds Report editor Mark J. Schmetzer and featuring dozens of photos by award-winning photographer Jerry Klumpe of the Cincinnati Post & Times Star, this book surely will be a winner with every fan in Reds country and coincides with an anniversary exhibit at the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame and Museum. Through interviews and research, Before the Machine captures the excitement of a pennant race for a team that had suffered losing seasons in 14 of the past 16 years.Schmetzer also beautifully evokes the time and place--a muggy Midwestern summer during which, as the new song of the season boasts, "the whole town's batty for that team in Cincinnati." Led by regional talk-show star Ruth Lyons (the Midwest's "Oprah") fans rallied around the Reds as never before. The year didn't begin well for the team. Budding superstar Frank Robinson was arrested right before spring training for carrying a concealed weapon, and long-time owner Powel Crosley Jr., died suddenly just days before the start of the season. Few experts--or fans--gave the Reds much of a chance at first place anyway. With powerhouse teams in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Milwaukee, the National League pennant was unlikely to fly over Cincinnati's Crosley Field. But manager Hutchinson somehow galvanized his motley crew and led them to victory after victory. Joey Jay, who had languished with the Braves, mowed down hitters while his rotation mates O'Toole and knuckleballer Bob Purkey did the same. The team also featured a dynamic duo in the bullpen in Bill Henry and Jim Brosnan, whose book about the season, Pennant Race, became a national bestseller the following year.As the rest of the league kept waiting for the Reds to fade, Hutch's boys kept winning--and finally grabbed the pennant. Though they couldn't continue their magic in the World Series against the Yankees, the previously moribund Reds franchise did continue to their success throughout the decade, winning 98 games in 1962 and falling just short of another pennant in 1964. They established a recipe for success that would lead, a few years later, to the emergence of the Big Red Machine.
