Pages : 338
Book Description
Imagine Being Pulled Into the Hereafter. While You’re Still Alive. A disillusioned business executive whose life has hit a dead-end, Nick Seagrave has lost loved ones to tragedy and his family to neglect. Now, at a point of great crisis, he unbelievably and inexplicably finds himself transported to what appears to be another world. Suddenly he’s confronted with profoundly clear views of his own past and personality. At the same time, he’s enabled to see, hear, taste, and smell the realities of both heaven and hell–realities that force him to face dangers and trials far greater than any he’s known before. Pitted against flying beasts, a monstrous web that threatens to hold him captive, an evil, brooding intelligence, and undeniable evidence of a spiritual world, Nick must finally consider the God he claims not to believe in. Walking between two worlds, Nick Seagrave prepares to make decisions that will change his life forever, as he stands on the Edge of Eternity.
Mapping Discord
Author: Jeffrey N. PetersPublisher: University of Delaware Press
ISBN: 9780874138474
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
Mapping Discord examines a series of allegorical maps published in France during the seventeenth century that cast in spatial terms a number of heated aesthetic and social debates. It discusses the convergence of map-making and literary creation in the context of early modern cartographic practice, and demonstrates that the unique language of allegorical cartography raises important theoretical questions about the relations between rationalist discourses of science and the figural designs of imaginative writing. In detailed analyses of the imaginary maps that appeared in seventeenth-century novels and stories, as well as of maps, atlases, and geographic treatises produced by professional scholars and engineers of the period, Mapping Discord considers the ideological structure and uses of cartographic language, and argues that allegorical maps have much to tell us about the potential capacity of every map to operate as a visual metaphor for power. Illustrated, Jeffrey N. Peters is Associate Professor of French at the University of Kentucky.
Allegory Studies
Author: Vladimir BrljakPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000403726
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
Allegory Studies: Contemporary Perspectives collects some of the most compelling current work in allegory studies, by an international team of researchers in a range of disciplines and specializations in the humanities and cognitive sciences. The volume tracks the subject across disciplinary, cultural, and period-based divides, from its shadowy origins to its uncertain future, and from the rich variety of its cultural and artistic manifestations to its deep cognitive roots. Allegory is everything we already know it to be: a mode of literary and artistic composition, and a religious as well as secular interpretive practice. As this volume attests, however, it is much more than that—much more than a sum of its parts. Collectively, the phenomena we now subsume under this term comprise a dynamic cultural force which has left a deep imprint on our history, whose full impact we are only beginning to comprehend, and which therefore demands precisely such dedicated cross-disciplinary examination as this book seeks to provide.

Metaphor Wars
Author: Raymond W. Gibbs, JrPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108107621
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
The study of metaphor is now firmly established as a central topic within cognitive science and the humanities. We marvel at the creative dexterity of gifted speakers and writers for their special talents in both thinking about certain ideas in new ways, and communicating these thoughts in vivid, poetic forms. Yet metaphors may not only be special communicative devices, but a fundamental part of everyday cognition in the form of 'conceptual metaphors'. An enormous body of empirical evidence from cognitive linguistics and related disciplines has emerged detailing how conceptual metaphors underlie significant aspects of language, thought, cultural and expressive action. Despite its influence and popularity, there have been major criticisms of conceptual metaphor. This book offers an evaluation of the arguments and empirical evidence for and against conceptual metaphors, much of which scholars on both sides of the wars fail to properly acknowledge.

Book Description
"This book was created as a way to reflect on how an individual's talent can provide a pathway to contribute to society. Far from simply being an "Art" book, "Lanterns Along the Path" is a guidebook for fellow travelers on our individual and collective journey through life. It is dedicated to "all who have passed this way before and left their own lanterns for us..." Book Reviews/Statements: One of the book reviews/statements from Scottsdale Tribune, Betty Webb states: "Sculptor's new book documents human journey..." Anne Groebner, White Mountain Independent states: "He has a message to get to the world and it is about honor, duty, courage, justice, truth, and the ultimate triumph of the human spirit..." Donna Marsh from Hoosier Book Chat states: "We thank James for sharing this journey, it brought Sunshine on a rainy day for the our group..." Hoyt Johnson, Sedona Magazine, states: "His art speaks of Truth..."Monsignor Reyes, Austin American Statesman News: "All people need Inspiration, this elevates and refreshes the spirit..." We feel it is unique in this field because: That we know of, no one to date has specifically "Allegorical Art" and its' affect on society. It contains Art, but also philosophy, spiritual, and historical information. Please feel free to contact at: email: [email protected] for any and all questions, or additional information.
