The Idea of Unity

The Idea of Unity

Edward Merkus; Leon Petchkovsky

Archetypal Design
2018
pokkari
This study traces western humanity's physical and mythological evolution from its earliest known origins to the present day. Signposts of this evolution are the taming of fire, the creation of weapons, clothing and housing to the great civilisations of ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome and religious expressions of early Judaism, Christianity and the less known Gnosticism and Alchemy.It explores the idea of unity in the disciplines of Philosophy, Psychology and Physics and its expression in Matter, Vegetation, Animals and Humans. The study also shows how the idea has bearing on decision-making of contemporary issues and how societies structure themselves based on projected ideas and inner characters. It emphasises the importance of knowing the difference between unconscious contents and the physical world to avoid possession by either side.The final chapters offer methods of forming a relationship between the physical world and the inner world of ideas and characters, and shows how the symbolic language of dreams, ideas, fantasies and synchronicities are interpreted through association, amplification and objectivity. It endeavours to categorise and describe the components of synchronicity using examples from individuals. Finally, it shows how to perceive, understand and integrate the Idea of Unity and how it supports, guides and gives meaning to our everyday lives.

Mr. Lincoln Sits for His Portrait: The Story of a Photograph That Became an American Icon

Mr. Lincoln Sits for His Portrait: The Story of a Photograph That Became an American Icon

Leonard S. Marcus

Farrar, Straus and Giroux (Byr)
2023
sidottu
Mr. Lincoln Sits for His Portrait is a unique middle-grade depiction of America's sixteenth president, through the story of one famous photograph, written by award-winning author Leonard S. Marcus. On February 9, 1864, Abraham Lincoln made the mile-long walk from the Executive Mansion to photographer Mathew Brady's Washington, DC, studio, to be joined there later by his ten-year-old son, Tad. With a fractious re-election campaign looming that year, America's first media-savvy president was intent on securing another portrait that cast him in a favorable light, as he prepared to make the case for himself to a nation weary of war. At least four iconic pictures were made that day. One was Lincoln in profile, the image that later found its way onto the penny; two more would be adapted for the 1928 and 2008 five-dollar bills. The fourth was a dual portrait of Lincoln and Tad. The pose, featuring Lincoln reading to his son, was a last-minute improvisation, but the image that came of it was--and remains--incomparably tender and enduringly powerful. Immediately after the president's murder the following year, the picture of Lincoln reading to his son became a mass-produced icon--a cherished portrait of a nation's fallen leader, a disarmingly intimate record of a care-worn father's feeling for his child, and a timeless comment on books as a binding force between generations.

Earthrise: The Story of the Photograph That Changed the Way We See Our Planet

Leonard S. Marcus

sidottu
From award-winning historian Leonard S. Marcus, Earthrise is a unique middle-grade nonfiction book about the astonishing photograph taken during the Apollo 8 mission that forever shifted the way we view ourselves and our planet. Gazing out the window of the Apollo 8 spacecraft on Christmas Eve, 1968, NASA astronaut Bill Anders grabbed his camera and snapped the iconic color photo of our planet rising over the lunar horizon. Not long after the crew's safe return, NASA developed Anders's film and released "Earthrise" to the world. It soon became one of the most viewed and consequential photographs in all of human history, inspiring the first Earth Day in 1970 and boosting the global environmental movement. In the decades since, this incredible photograph of our small yet beautiful, familiar yet strange, "blue marble" has moved billions to rethink their understanding of our home planet, and even their very idea of "home." A companion to Marcus's acclaimed Mr. Lincoln Sits for His Portrait--a unique biography of America's sixteenth president centered around one famous 1864 photo--Earthrise uses the same technique of exploring a key moment in US history through the lens of an iconic photograph. This rocket-paced, compact, and highly accessible nonfiction book includes a trove of black-and-white images and related materials throughout, as well as an 8-page color insert. This is perfect for elementary and middle school kids ages 10-14, or in grades 5 through 8, who love: ● Outer space, astronauts, and STEM-related books● Fascinating dives into American history ● Quick and engaging nonfiction reads

Going to War in Iraq

Going to War in Iraq

Stanley Feldman; Leonie Huddy; George E. Marcus

University of Chicago Press
2015
sidottu
How was the Bush administration able to convince both Congress and the American public to support the plan to go to war against Iraq in spite of poorly supported claims about the danger Saddam Hussein posed? Conventional wisdom holds that, because neither party voiced strong opposition, the press in turn failed to adequately scrutinize the administration's arguments, and public opinion passively followed. Drawing on the most comprehensive survey of public reactions to the war, Stanley Feldman, Leonie Huddy, and George E. Marcus revisit this critical period and come back with a different story. Not only did the Bush administration's carefully orchestrated campaign fail to raise Republican support for the war, opposition by Democrats and political independents actually increased with exposure to the news. But how we get our news matters: People who read the newspaper were more likely to engage critically with what was coming out of Washington, especially when exposed to the sort of high-quality investigative journalism still being written at traditional newspapers-and in short supply across other forms of media. Making a case for the crucial role of a press that lives up to the best norms and practices of print journalism, the book lays bare what is at stake for the functioning of democracy-especially in times of crisis-as newspapers increasingly become an endangered species.
