The Woman by David Bishop (191 results)

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In selecting my adventurers, I have had to find limits. The first has been to confine my selection to men and women who are (at least loosely) British and, even then, service and adoption have sometimes, as with Krystyna Skarbeka, taken the place of birth, and I have chosen to ignore such things as competing national claims for Tenzing Norgay. The second limit that I have set myself is generally to exclude heroic adventurers in battle, simply because there is (rightly), so much already written about them, but I have found place for certain (representative) secret agents of the Second World War, whose acts (in voluntary service, beyond the call of simple duty), surely took them out of the arena of straight-forward battle and into the realm of the most individual and courageous adventure. The result of these decisions remains to be judged but the overall objective has been to renew interest in the lives of some of our real heroes and heroines, as representative of the many others that there are; in an age in which contemporary sporting and pop art 'heroes' dominate the news and provide the only readily evident 'inspiration', and also an age in which addiction to the computer screen nearly robs the young of memories and dreams of high adventure; of which ripping yarns are born. The third limit is a limit of time: this speaks for itself; otherwise how would Drake and Raleigh, Clive of India, General Woolf and Captain Cook not have found their places? There have to be such limits. The final limit has been to exclude those who are widely famed already: what more is there to say of General Gordon or Dr David Livingstone of Captain Robert Falcon Scott and Captain Laurence Oates; even though what has been said should often be repeated? Moreover, although Sir Edmund Hillary is acknowledged as the first conqueror of Mount Everest; Tenzing Norgay was there with him and what of George Mallory who, some time before had died, either going up or coming down?To those who might accuse me of having been obscure, I just plead that my purpose has been to bring back into ready remembrance certain men and women, not widely feted now, who had great impact upon the accrual of knowledge of: other peoples, their customs and their countries; or who have striven, often against various obstacles (including the odds), to promote exploration and, sometimes, even to preserve life and liberty for others. To the erudite, who might say that I shed little new light and that the coverage is uneven, I plead, in mitigation of sentence, that my principal purpose has been to remind of worthy lives that might still stir our blood; and to bring them together, as representative of our adventurous people, in one handy volume.James Brooke, Rajah of Sarawak 1803-1868Mary Seacole 1805-1881 Richard and John Lander 1804-1834; 1806-1839Jane Digby 1807-1881General Sir James Abbott 1807-1896Colonel John Peard 1811-1880John William Colenso, 1st Anglican Bishop of Natal 1814-1883Sir Richard Burton 1821-1890 and John Hanning Speke 1827-1854 Emily Hobhouse 1860-1926Mary Kingsley 1862-1900Sir Francis Younghusband 1863-1942Colonel Percy Fawcett 1867-1925 and, in his wake, Peter Fleming OBE 1907-1971Cecil Henry Meares 1877-1937George Mallory 1886-1924 and Andrew Irvine 1902-1924Dame Freya Stark 1893-1993Sir Francis Chichester 1901-1972Gladys May Aylward 1902-1970Amy Johnson 1902-1941Krystyna Skarbek-Granville GM, OBE, Croix de Guerre Avec Palmes, born ca. 1908-1952Sir Fitzroy Hew Royle Maclean 1911-1996Tenzing Norgay GM 1914-1986 Violette Szabo GC, MBE 1921-1945The Present and the Future[Colonel John Blashford-Snell b. 1936Sir Ranulf Fiennes b. 1944Alan Hinkes b. 1954Adrian Hayes (45)Kenton Cool b. 1973Dame Ellen MacArthur b. 1976Rebecca Stephens b. 1982Xanadu and William Dalrymple].

Softcover. Condition: Very Good. In the late 1800's, when women were bound by both cumbersome clothing and strict Victorian morals, a small band of astonishing women explorers burst forth to claim the adventurous life. What drew the five profiled in this book -- three British, one American, one French -- was Tibet, then the ultimate in exploration. Nina Mazuchelli organized a small expedition, urging the party on when they were lost on a glacier. Annie Taylor, a reckless, romantic missionary in China, knew her life was in danger the moment she crossed into Tibet. Esabella Bird Bishop, sickly while at home, was always robust on her adventures; she was nearly 60 when she went to Tibet. Fanny Bullock Workman plowed her way up Himalaya and Karakoram mountains, saying any woman could do so. Alexandra David-Neel, at 56, trekked for eight months through tropical lowlands and snow-covered passes with only a backpack and a begging bowl. Even by today's standards these women's accomplishments are remarkable.

Paperback. Condition: New. Brand new softcover pamphlet! ; Though of little fame, Mary Elizabeth Rollins Lightner played a vital role during the early days of the Church. Personally befriended by the Prophet Joseph, his family, and the other leading brethren, she was a first-hand witness and participant in many of the atrocities inflicted on the Saints. More than once she and her non-member husband were the means of relieving suffering for many of the Saints. One of the most brave, and important, acts she committed was when the mobs destroyed the printing press on which the first Book of Commandments was published. At 14 years of age, she and her sister ran into the streets and gathered all of the strewn pages that she could, tucking them in her dress and running into a cornfield when the mobs discovered what she was doing. She lay still until they had passed. She was later presented with a Book of Commandments as a token of thanks. She was also sealed for eternity to the Prophet Joseph. She recounts her spiritual witness of this being God's will, having been visited by an angel. Brigham Young sealed them. Additionally, she tells of other women who were also sealed to the Prophet, and even recounts knowing of three of his children who were born to women other than Emma, but who went by different names so as to hide their identity. The history recounted in this 30-page booklet is amazing: witnessing Bishop Partridge being tarred and feathered; working for and living with Lilburn W. Boggs; smuggling gunpowder for the Saints; the Huan's Mill massacre; talking down a mob; being struck by lightning; losing two sons to poisoning, and nearly dying herself; traveling on steamboats with soldiers from the civil war; traveling across the plains; seeing Joseph, Hyrum, and Heber C. Kimbal as spirits, etc. , etc. , etc. What a fascinating part of Church history that is inspiring, faith building, and a treat to read. ; The FIG Project Series; 5.5" x 8.5"; 32 pages.

Paperback. Condition: new. Dunnett, Caitriona (illustrator). Paperback. A reliable and clean source of water is essential for any community, so it is easy to understand how important wells were for pre-modern peoples. More complex is the mystical relationship humans have developed with these sites, which are imbued with a sacredness that predates Christianity. Holy Wells of Wexford and Pembrokeshire is a series of five chapbooks celebrating holy wells in two regions with common ancestry and history. Since at least the Bronze Age, sea travel between these two lands has meant cross-fertilisation of traditions and common names associated with wells of both regions. Of significance is the long-standing friendship between two early Christian saints: David, who became the first Bishop of St Davids; and Aidan, born in Ireland, who spent time in Wales and then founded monasteries in Ireland, including at Ferns. In Oilgate, Wexford, there is a well dedicated to David and, at Whitesands near St Davids in Pembrokeshire, there is one named after Aidan. Each of the five books approaches the subject from different perspectives and mediums, including fiction, poetry and essays as well as photographs and prints. Two short stories by Michelle Dooley Mahon; 'The Deacon' and 'The Meadow of Women', in which ritual devotions are placed in contemporary contexts. She writes of illness, suffering, devotion and healing with startling simplicity and a dose of humour.

Hard cover. First edition. Sewn binding. Paper over boards. With dust jacket. 440 p. Audience: General/trade. In the early autumn of 1962, David Marnin, a young Foreign Service officer, arrives in Saigon to be the Ambassador's aide. Though young and inexperienced, he brings to the job a keen intelligence and a rich sense of adventure. He soon becomes involved with one of the most beautiful Vietnamese women. Unforgettably depicted are scores of characters--ambitious journalists, Saigon bargirls, diplomats, clandestine agents, a disenchanted general, a Catholic bishop, Buddhist monks, the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and one truly unforgettable Southern belle. This important novel demonstrates brilliantly how and why the United States engineered the 1963 coup that overthrew the South Vietnamese government and resulted in the assassination of President Ngo Dinh Diem and his brother. These actions irrevocably enmeshed us in a situation from which there was no turning back. They led to a full scale war that should never have been fought the way it was, a war that reshaped American, Asian, and world history. Fine in fine dust jacket.

They elevated Bomber Command - initially the only part of the Allied war effort capable of attacking the heart of Nazi Germany - from an impotent force on the cusp of disintegration in 1942 to one capable of razing whole German cities to the ground in a single night, striking with devastating accuracy, inspiring fear and loathing in Hitler's senior command.With exclusive interviews with remaining survivors, personal diaries, previously classified records and never-before seen photographs, The Pathfinders brings to life the characters of the airmen and women - many barely out of their teens - who took to the skies in legendary British aircraft such as the Lancaster and the Mosquito, facing almost unimaginable levels of violence from enemy fighter planes to strike at the heart of the Nazi war machine.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A dynamic, timely history of nineteenth-century activists-free-lovers and socialists, abolitionists and vigilantes-and the social revolution they sparked in the turbulent Civil War era"In the tradition of Howard Zinn's people's histories, American Radicals reveals a forgotten yet inspiring past."-Megan Marshall, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Margaret Fuller- A New American Life and Elizabeth Bishop- A Miracle for BreakfastNAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST HISTORY BOOKS OF THE YEAR BYSMITHSONIANOn July 4, 1826, as Americans lit firecrackers to celebrate the country's fiftieth birthday, both John Adams and Thomas Jefferson were on their deathbeds. They would leave behind a groundbreaking political system and a growing economy-as well as the glaring inequalities that had undermined the American experiment from its beginning. The young nation had outlived the men who made it, but could it survive intensifying divisions over the very meaning of the land of the free?A new network of dissent-connecting firebrands and agitators on pastoral communes, in urban mobs, and in genteel parlors across the nation-vowed to finish the revolution they claimed the founding fathers had only begun. They were men and women, black and white, fiercely devoted to causes that pitted them against mainstream America even while they fought to preserve the nation's founding ideals- the brilliant heiress Frances Wright, whose shocking critiques of religion and the institution of marriage led to calls for her arrest; the radical Bostonian William Lloyd Garrison, whose commitment to nonviolence would be tested as the conflict over slavery pushed the nation to its breaking point; the Philadelphia businessman James Forten, who presided over the first mass political protest of free African Americans; Marx Lazarus, a vegan from Alabama whose calls for sexual liberation masked a dark secret; black nationalist Martin Delany, the would-be founding father of a West African colony who secretly supported John Brown's treasonous raid on Harpers Ferry-only to ally himself with Southern Confederates after the Civil War.Though largely forgotten today, these figures were enormously influential in the pivotal period flanking the war, their lives and work entwined with reformers like Frederick Douglass, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Henry David Thoreau, as well as iconic leaders like Abraham Lincoln. Jackson writes them back into the story of the nation's most formative and perilous era in all their heroism, outlandishness, and tragic shortcomings. The result is a surprising, panoramic work of narrative history, one that offers important lessons for our own time. A character-driven narrative history about the 19th-century radicals--from Fanny Wright and Henry David Thoreau to John Brown and William Lloyd Garrison--who demanded that the United States live up to its revolutionary ideals.ry ideals.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Paperback Edition. Paperback. Foreword by David Hope. On 11 Novemeber 1992, the General Synod of the Church of England took the historic decitions to pass legislation allowing the ordination of women to the priesthood. For many people the vote has been the cause of great joy and celebration; for others it has brought anguish and despair. David Hope, voted against the legislation, and as Bishop of the high-profile and unpredictable Diocese of London, he immediately came under pressure to ordain women on the one hand and to exclude them on the other. Placed in an impossible situation, he has kept his personal views and feelings to himself, and attempted to act instead as a focus of unity. The aanoucement of the London Plan in May 1993, whereby those on both sides of the debate are included and welcomed, was the culmination of months of discussion. In this book we see behind the public image to the reality of life for David Hope in the past twelve months. In many ways it has been a lonely and difficult year, and there have been times when he wished he was miles away from it all; times when his native Yorkshire seemed far more appealing than the internal wranglings of the Diocese of London and the Church at large. He remains doubtful about the wisdom of the Synod decision, and shares honestly his disappointments and frustrations. Yet he has decided to stay with the Church he loves, and he has won respect for his integrity and for his ioenness to those with whom he disagrees. 104 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
