Fanny and Victorian Jack is the first of a series of books written especially for children. Fanny has Asperger’s syndrome and is passionate about nature. Jack appears from Victorian London and shows Fanny a world of poverty and hardship that she could never have envisaged. Fanny desperately wants to help Jack and his family find a way out of the poverty they are in. Hesitatingly, she begins to explore what she can do to help but not before tragedy strikes Jack’s family. Fanny found that it is the things that we often throw away that became the most useful in helping Jack and his family. Along the way, Fanny finds herself transported into the slums of London and she learns first-hand about the reality of life for the Victorian Poor. This book can be read alone by confident readers and provides insight into an age which is very different from ours. It is useful for aiding understanding in school projects on this era. Younger readers may like to read this with an adult as it is written to aid discussion and increase a child’s understanding of how the past has affected the age we are living in now. The story is intended to extend and develop a child’s vocabulary. Finally, the story is designed to raise awareness of some of the challenges of living with Asperger’s Syndrome.

On March 13, 1997 something extra-ordinary happened in the skies over Phoenix & across Arizona. On that clear evening a parade of low flying, mile wide V-shaped arrays of orbs & craft glided silently overhead, attracting the attention of at least 10,000 people. This is the detailed account of that evening & the ensuing cover up of what is now being hailed as the largest mass sighting of UFOs in modern times - but there is much more to the story.By following the journey of a key witness & respected medical professional, who moved from skepticism to belief while meticulously investigating the topic for the past 20 years since the event, the reader takes a wide-ranging tour of the "inside Phoenix Lights story," as well as UFO history, from primitive cave paintings to 21st century reports. Extensive image analysis combined with the testimony of a variety of well-known figures, including past presidents, scientists & astronauts, such as Dr. Edgar Mitchell, makes a compelling case that these aerial anomalies are real & have been visiting us for millennia.This 20th anniversary revised & expanded version of the bestselling 2004 & 2010 editions shares the latest UFO developments and sightings, in addition to a convincing connection between all Unexplained Phenomena - what the author calls UPs. There is also recent testimony from eyewitnesses, a 911 Phoenix police operator, commercial and military pilots, and former Arizona governor, Fife Symington, who mocked the sighting at a press conference in 1997, but now admits publicly that he witnessed the event and what he saw was "otherworldly."Most riveting, is new, persuasive evidence - revealed for the first time - which takes a giant step forward in supporting the reality that WE ARE NOT ALONE o "Dr. Lynne Kitei has done more than anyone to research the Phoenix Lights sightings and to keep them where they belong--under the media spotlight and in the public eye." -Nick Pope, former Director of the UFO Project, Ministry of Defense, UKo "The Phoenix Lights event was one of the most important mass-witnessed UFO events in U.S. history. Thanks to the dedicated work of Dr. Lynne Kitei, this remarkable occurrence has been brought to the world's attention, moving disclosure forward." -Steven M. Greer M.D., International Director, CSETI and founder, The Disclosure Project, www.DisclosureProject.orgo "Let the data speak. Dr. Kitei is giving voice to the data-hopefully many of us will listen and ponder." -Gary E. Schwartz, Ph.D., professor of psychology, surgery, medicine, neurology, and psychiatry and director, Advances in Consciousness and Health, University of AZ.o "The Phoenix Lights book is a milestone in international UFOlogy. Special thanks to Dr. Lynne for being a pioneer in this field." -Farah Yurdozu, UFO investigator and author, Turkeyo "Perhaps the most important result of the Phoenix sightings is that they turned Dr. Kitei on to do the things (book, documentary, public appearances, etc.) that she never would have done had they not happened. Her efforts have been very important in bringing this "message" to the public." -Bruce Maccabee, Ph.D., Navy Optical Physicist and leading Ufologisto "Dr. Lynne's work is unparalleled in its accuracy and message. As a journalist and educator, I recommend that all read this book and understand that truly 'we are not Alone.'" -Paola Harris, journalist and author, ItalyAbout the AuthorLynne D. Kitei, M.D. is an internationally acclaimed physician and award winning health educator with a distinguished career spanning over 40 years. She was the Chief Clinical Consultant of the Imaging-Prevention-Wellness Center at the renowned Arizona Heart Institute in Phoenix before pushing her successful medical career aside to pursue the source and meaning of the historic Arizona mass sighting event, which has become known worldwide as the "Phoenix Lights."

On the heels of recent revelations of past and ongoing injustices, reconciliation and solidarity by Indigenous and non-Indigenous people is even more urgent. But it is a complex endeavour.In The Solidarity Encounter, Carol Lynne D'Arcangelis links interviews with activists and her own self-reflections to current scholarship to take readers into the fraught terrain of solidarity organizing. Multi-issue coalitions such as Idle No More, #NoDAPL, MMIWG2SQ, Black Lives Matter, and Fridays for Future all depend on the collaboration of diverse communities and on avoiding harmful detours into historically derived helping behaviours. D'Arcangelis grapples with this key tension: colonizing behaviours that result when white women centre their own goals and frameworks as they participate in activism with Indigenous women and groups.The Solidarity Encounter concludes by offering strategies for respecting boundaries between self and other, providing a constructive framework for non-colonizing solidarity that can be applied in any context of unequal power.

Victorian Architecture in London and Southwestern Ontario

Victorian Architecture in London and Southwestern Ontario

Nancy Z. Tausky; Lynne D. DiStefano

University of Toronto Press
1986
pokkari
In an era of steel and glass towers, the graceful and distinctive structures of Victorian Ontario which survive are a pleasing and a valuable link with the past. Some of the finest examples of these buildings can still be found in London, Ontario, and the surrounding towns and villages. Beginning with a discussion of the area's history, Nancy Tausky and Lynne DiStefano explore the work of the most prominent architectural firm in Victorian London -- Robinson, Tracy, Durand and Moore -- and its role in the development of southwestern Ontario. From their focus on specific architects emerges a broader picture of the factors that typically shaped Victorian towns. They consider the various theories and movements that were given expression in Victorian building design, the social influences on the period's architecture, the evolution of building technology, and the state of the architectural profession in general during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. At the heart of the book, of course, are the buildings. Churches, banks, schools, courthouses, stores, and all manner of public buildings, as well as private homes are represented. Extensively illustrated, the book includes old photographs, reproductions of drawings and plans, and contemporary photographs of buildings which still stand, taken specially for this volume by Ian MacEachern. Published in conjunction with a 1986 exhibition which was presented at the London Regional Art Gallery and then toured Canada, this volume records an elegant chapter in our architectural history, an irreplaceable part of our heritage.

A rare combination of personal and academic, this book showcases the myriad avenues for transcending the boundaries of reality through direct sensory experience.The Varieties of Magical Experience: Indigenous, Medieval, and Modern Magic provides a comprehensive volume that examines magic in all its aspects. Through detailed case studies, verbatim accounts of personal experiences, and first-hand experience from the authors' own active participation in many alternative religious rituals and ceremonies, this unique book reveals how magic can be a universal phenomenon that crosses cultural, historical, and spatial boundaries.The work is organized in five sections that embrace several broad themes: indigenous magical and shamanic practices; medieval witchcraft; sorcery and hermetic magic; and contemporary Western magical practices, including the role of sexuality, trance, and meditation. The introductory section explores the idea of magic, other realities, and the employment of all the senses, while the final section discusses contemporary issues of ecology and cybermagic. The authors give voice to the powerful emotions and feelings that result from a magical encounter, providing engaging and accessible information to general readers, while those well versed in the opaque world of magic and occultism, consciousness studies, and imaginal and disembodied realms will appreciate the book's content at a deeper level.
