Sometimes what we already "know" about Jesus gets in the way of our really knowing him. Many depictions of Jesus show him as a character who coolly and calmly floats above the grit and grime of human existence. He doesn't hurt, he doesn't fear, he doesn’t laugh and, most tragically, he doesn’t love very passionately. He seems not to feel at all. But a closer look at the Bible reveals something surprisingly different. In this eye-opening spiritual study, Peter Wallace examines Jesus’s actions as well as his teachings to uncover a passionate figure who was involved, present, connected, honest and direct with others. Through Wallace’s deeply personal insights and compelling examples, you will be encouraged to model this passionate Jesus by building personal authenticity in every area of your own life, particularly in your self-acceptance and self-expression, your relationships with others and, above all, your relationship with God.
A seemingly ordinary 14-year-old boy discovers he has the ability to talk with animals, and they with him. It is not at all like Dr. Doolittle.After 14-year-old Hamish Taylor loses his father to cancer, his mother forces him to move with her from rural Pennsylvania to Brooklyn. Resentful, Hamish avoids his mother and explores his new city, which two years earlier had been struck by the catastrophe of 9/11. One day, as Hamish passes near the ruins of the World Trade Center, he is overcome by a cacophony of voices that bubble up from within him. He flees through Brooklyn's Prospect Park, where a squirrel falls from a tall tree and crashes down in front of him, fatally injured. Hamish discovers he can communicate with the squirrel-and with crows nearby, and with every animal he encounters from then on.Hamish learns he is a Speaker, one in a centuries-long tradition of rare individuals who have the ability to talk with animals, and who emerge when the world is confronted by extraordinary crises. But Hamish doesn't know what crisis he has been called to address, and not even the animals he speaks to have the answers for him.At the same time Hamish discovers his new power, he finds that the world around him is bigger and messier than he could have imagined. In his own Brooklyn neighborhood, he encounters a ring of human traffickers. Desperate to free a Russian girl from their grasp, he realizes that Speaker or not, he has a lot to learn.Speaker is a coming-of-age story about overcoming grief and letting go. It is the story of how a boy begins to become a man. But it is also an adventure, filled with foul-mouthed birds, dim-witted dogs, an international cast of characters, and a mysterious panther who lurks in Brooklyn's Prospect Park.

The untold story of how the world's most feared TV reporter transformed his inner darkness into a journalistic juggernaut that riveted millions and redefined the landscape of television news In his four decades as the front man for 60 Minutes, the most successful show in television history, Mike Wallace earned the distinction of being hyperaggressive, self-assured, and unflinching in his riveting expos s of injustice and corruption. His unrivaled career includes interviews with every major newsmaker of the late twentieth century, from Martin Luther King to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Behind this intimidating facade, however, Wallace was profoundly depressed and haunted by demons that nearly drove him to suicide. Despite reaching the pinnacle of his profession, Wallace harbored deep insecurities about his credentials as a journalist. For half his life, he was more "TV Personality" than reporter, dabbling as a quiz show emcee, commercial pitchman, and actor. But in the wake of a life-changing personal tragedy, Wallace transformed himself, against all odds, into the most talked-about newsman in America. Peter Rader's Mike Wallace: A Life tells the story of a courageous man who triumphed over personal adversity and redefined the landscape of television news.
Most Australians think they know the full Kelly story. James Wallace: The Kelly Gang Sympathiser is about a man who was complicit in keeping the Kelly gang at large for two years, but who has somehow been largely forgotten in the annals of Australian history.James Wallace was a respectable schoolteacher and lifelong friend of gang member Joe Byrne. Working away behind the scenes to protect his friend, Wallace helped to keep the gang provisioned. He contributed to critical letters that told Ned Kelly's side of the story, fed misleading information to the police, assisted in the collection of the plough shares used in making the gang's armour, and was likely complicit in a significant murder prior to the gang's final stand at Glenrowan.Wallace was dismissed from public service after adverse findings were made against him by a Royal Commission established after the gang's demise. Under threat of prosecution, Wallace fled to Queensland. Six years would pass before it was safe for him to return, whereupon he commenced a career as a journalist, before leaving his family for a new life with a clairvoyant known as Madame Spontini.
David Foster Wallace and the Body is the first full-length study to focus on Wallace’s career-long fascination with the human body and the textual representation of the body. The book provides engaging, accessible close readings that highlight the importance of the overlooked, and yet central theme of all of this major American author’s works: having a body. Wallace repeatedly made clear that good fiction is about what it means to be a ‘human being’. A large part of what that means is having a body, and being conscious of the conflicts that arise, morally and physically, as a result; a fact with which, as Wallace forcefully and convincingly argues, we all desire ‘to be reconciled’. Given the ubiquity of the themes of embodiment in Wallace’s work, this study is an important addition to an expanding field. The book also opens up the themes addressed to interrogate aspects of contemporary literature, culture, and society more generally, placing Wallace’s works in the history of literary and philosophical engagements with the brute fact of embodiment.
In 1858, Alfred Russel Wallace, aged thirty-five, weak with malaria, isolated in the Spice Islands, wrote to Charles Darwin: he had, he said excitedly, worked out a theory of natural selection. Darwin was aghast--his work of decades was about to be scooped. Within two weeks, his outline and Wallace's paper were presented jointly in London. A year later, with Wallace still on the opposite side of the globe, Darwin published On the Origin of Species. This new biography of Wallace traces the development of one of the most remarkable scientific travelers, naturalists, and thinkers of the nineteenth century. With vigor and sensitivity, Peter Raby reveals his subject as a courageous, unconventional explorer and a man of exceptional humanity. He draws more extensively on Wallace's correspondence than has any previous biographer and offers a revealing yet balanced account of the relationship between Wallace and Darwin. Wallace lacked Darwin's advantages. A largely self-educated native of Wales, he spent four years in the Amazon in his mid-twenties collecting specimens for museums and wealthy patrons, only to lose his finds in a shipboard fire in the mid-Atlantic. He vowed never to travel again. Yet two years later he was off to the East Indies on a vast eight-year trek; here he discovered countless species and identified the point of divide between Asian and Australian fauna, 'Wallace's Line.' After his return, he plunged into numerous controversies and published regularly until his death at the age of ninety, in 1913. He penned a classic volume on his travels, founded the discipline of biogeography, promoted natural selection, and produced a distinctive account of mind and consciousness in man. Sensitive and self-effacing, he was an ardent socialist--and spiritualist. Wallace is one of the neglected giants of the history of science and ideas. This stirring biography--the first for many years--puts him back at center stage, where he belongs.

"Bilingual Parallel text in English and French -- Texte bilingue fran ais et anglais en parall le." Sir Richard Wallace, who was most probably the illegitimate son of the 4th Marquess of Hertford, inherited a vast fortune including the Ch teau de Bagatelle and the world's finest collection of 18th Century Art, now the Wallace Collection in London. During the siege of Paris in 1870, he used this fortune to aid the citizens of the city and donated the Wallace Fountains, which are today an integral part of its charm. However his role as a benefactor did not stop there. He founded the Hertford British Hospital for his compatriots, so often without resource in a foreign country. The saga of the Hertford British Hospital is the history of the British community, of royal patronage and the evolution of healthcare, during the turbulent period of Paris from 1876 to the present day.
