The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin

The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2010
nidottu
Franklin's writings span a long and distinguished career of literary, scientific, and political inquiry--the work of a man whose life lasted for nearly all of the 18th century, and whose achievements ranged from inventing the lightning rod to publishing Poor Richard's Almanac to signing the Declaration of Independence. In his own lifetime, Franklin knew prominence not only in America but also in Britain and France. Here was a cosmopolitan statesman, public servant, inventor, and editor with a distinctly Yankee sensibility; here was a moral philosopher who divided his faith between the natural sciences and the American experiment. This text refers to a previous edition of this title.

Benjamin Bear's Naughtiest Night Ever!

Benjamin Bear's Naughtiest Night Ever!

Adriana L. Blake

We've all seen the faces of our offspring while we explain the importance of good behavior and the golden rule. After their little eyes glaze over, your words slip into their ear canals on a banner repeating "yada, yada, yada."What if reading your kids an entertaining and lively story could assist you in conveying these lessons without any dazed expressions? It's not your presentation You'd just about have to stand on your head and blow bubbles out of your nostrils while teaching them, to halt the "yada, yada, yada" procession into their ears.Kids need specific contexts for these important messages, such as within stories or situations, rather than hearing generalities. Young children think in fairly literal ways but moral lessons tend to be vague and abstract, like "be nice," or "treat others well." Teaching in these abstract terms to the younger set is akin to coaching visual learners in a strictly auditory manner.Benjamin's tale also has a wonderful emotional component. In the midst of big trouble, Benjamin still experiences the unconditional love of his parents. Although he doesn't know the word for it, Benjamin learns the meaning of mercy when his parents decide he's been punished enough.

Benjamin's Ring tells the enduring story of Richard Wagner's four opera cycle, The Ring of the Nibelung. This is a timeless story of mystery, fantasy and myth as it is seen through Benjamin's eyes and written for today's young readers who enjoy action and adventure tales. The characters in The Ring (as the cycle is known) include the heavenly world of Nordic Gods, an underworld of evil dwarfs, mortals, a magic sword, a supernatural ring that carries a death curse, mysterious fire, giants, dragons and the eternal battle between good and evil. Utilizing many of Wagner's original stage directions and his libretto, Ben's mother narrates the story and answers Ben's questions. She also explains why Wagner's music is world famous and how opera can be a total theatrical experience for people of any age. Here's what opera stars Deborah Voigt and Michelle DeYoung wrote about Benjamin's Ring "I found Benjamin's Ring to be an engaging and charming re-telling of Wagner's Ring Cycle libretto." Deborah Voigt, International Operatic Soprano "Benjamin's Ring is a wonderful introduction into the world of Wagner's Ring cycle. It is entertaining and informative. I would recommend it for kids that enjoy fantastical stories, but also for anyone preparing to see the Ring for the first time. The illustrations by Geoffrey Moss are beautiful, and the perfect accompaniment to the story". Michelle DeYoung, 3 Time Grammy Award Winning Classical and Operatic Mezzo-Soprano

In this first full-length biography of Benjamin Mays (1894-1984), Randal Maurice Jelks chronicles the life of the man Martin Luther King Jr. called his ""spiritual and intellectual father."" Dean of the Howard University School of Religion, president of Morehouse College, and mentor to influential black leaders, Mays had a profound impact on the education of the leadership of the black church and of a generation of activists, policymakers, and educators. Jelks argues that Mays's ability to connect the message of Christianity with the responsibility to challenge injustice prepared the black church for its pivotal role in the civil rights movement. From Mays's humble origins in Epworth, South Carolina, through his doctoral education, his work with institutions such as the National Urban League, the NAACP, and the national YMCA movement, and his significant career in academia, Jelks creates a rich portrait of the man, the teacher, and the scholar. Benjamin Elijah Mays, Schoolmaster of the Movement is a powerful portrayal of one man's faith, thought, and mentorship in bringing American apartheid to an end.

Benjamin Franklin Butler

Benjamin Franklin Butler

Elizabeth D. Leonard

THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA PRESS

Benjamin Franklin Butler was one of the most important and controversial military and political leaders of the Civil War and Reconstruction eras. Remembered most often for his uncompromising administration of the Federal occupation of New Orleans during the war, Butler reemerges in this lively narrative as a man whose journey took him from childhood destitution to wealth and profound influence in state and national halls of power. Prize-winning biographer Elizabeth Leonard chronicles Butler's successful career in the law defending the rights of the Lowell Mill girls and other workers, his achievements as one of Abraham Lincoln's premier civilian generals, and his role in developing wartime policy in support of slavery's fugitives as the nation advanced toward emanciaption. Leonard also highlights Butler's personal and political evolution, revealing how his limited understanding of racism and the horrors of slavery transformed over time, leading him into a postwar role as one of the nation's foremost advocates for Black freedom and civil rights, and one of its notable opponents of white supremacy and neo-Confederate resurgence.Butler himself claimed he was "always with the underdog in the fight." Leonard's nuanced portrait will help readers assess such claims, peeling away generations of previous assumptions and characterizations to provide a definitive life of a consequential man.

The Life and Rhymes of Benjamin Zephaniah

Benjamin Zephaniah

SIMON SCHUSTER LTD

*A BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week* Benjamin Zephaniah, who travelled the world for his art and his humanitarianism, tells the one story that encompasses it all: the story of his life. In the early 1980s when punks and Rastas were on the streets protesting about unemployment, homelessness and the National Front, Benjamin’s poetry could be heard at demonstrations, outside police stations and on the dance floor. His mission was to take poetry everywhere, and to popularise it by reaching people who didn’t read books. His poetry was political, musical, radical and relevant. By the early 1990s, Benjamin had performed on every continent in the world (a feat which he achieved in only one year) and he hasn’t stopped performing and touring since. Nelson Mandela, after hearing Benjamin’s tribute to him while he was in prison, requested an introduction to the poet that grew into a lifelong relationship, inspiring Benjamin’s work with children in South Africa. Benjamin would also go on to be the first artist to record with The Wailers after the death of Bob Marley in a musical tribute to Nelson Mandela.The Life and Rhymes of Benjamin Zephaniah is a truly extraordinary life story which celebrates the power of poetry and the importance of pushing boundaries with the arts.

Walter Benjamin's writings are popular among Chinese scholars, but variances of translation and interpretation have created an understanding of Benjamin that bears little resemblance to how Western scholars discuss and use Benjamin. This special issue uses that dissemblance as a starting point to explore what Benjamin's writings have meant and continue to mean, bringing these multiple different versions of Benjamin into conversation. Contributors explore Benjamin’s fascination with the spiritual power of color, connect his youthful fascination with Chinese thought with his later writings, compare his ideas to the work of Chinese filmmaker Jia Zhangke and Vietnamese author Bùi Anh Tu?n, and analyze his experiments in imbuing book reviews with social commentary. This issue also includes a new translation of Benjamin's essay "Chinese Paintings at the National Gallery." Contributors: Walter Benjamin, Briankle G. Chang, Astrid Deuber-Mankowsky, Peter Fenves, Martin Jay, Matthew Lau, Duy Lap Nguyen, Richard A. Rand
