A dazzling work of memoir, biography and cultural criticism on the subject of loneliness, told through the lives of six iconic artists, by the acclaimed author of "The Trip to Echo Spring." What does it mean to be lonely? How do we live, if we're not intimately engaged with another human being? How do we connect with other people? Does technology draw us closer together or trap us behind screens?
When Olivia Laing moved to New York City in her mid-thirties, she found herself inhabiting loneliness on a daily basis. Increasingly fascinated by this most shameful of experiences, she began to explore the lonely city by way of art. Moving fluidly between works and lives - from Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks" to Andy Warhol's Time Capsules, from Henry Darger's hoarding to David Wojnarowicz's AIDS activism - Laing conducts an electric, dazzling investigation into what it means to be alone.
Humane, provocative and deeply moving, "The Lonely City" is about the spaces between people and the things that draw them together, about sexuality, mortality and the magical possibilities of art. It's a celebration of a strange and lovely state, adrift from the larger continent of human experience, but intrinsic to the very act of being alive.

Описание: The struggles for Africa There can be few more interesting and evocative periods of British imperial history than the struggles for south-eastern Africa. The empire had found itself colliding with the interests of many native powers across the globe during the decades of it's expansion. Many had fought to maintain their independence and some, like the Sikhs of the Punjab, were sufficiently well versed in the practice of warfare as to be a serious threat. This could not be said of the tribes which rose from the Zulu nation, yet the Zulu War of 1879 gave British forces a chilling and brutal lesson in what a 'primitive' African tribal army was capable of achieving on the field of battle. The Matabele, as an off-shoot of the martial Zulus, also inevitably came into conflict with the British during the closing decade of the 19th century. The First Matabele War did not decisively subjugate the tribe and in 1896 it rose again laying siege to Bulawayo with over 10,000 Ndebele warriors. This unique Leonaur edition brings together two accounts written by remarkable men who were central to these events. The first was written by the legendary Frederick Selous. Those who know anything of the man know that he was the 'great white hunter', 'Nimrod' and the character upon whom the fictional Alan Quatermain was based, and so his account of this period is nothing less than compelling. The second book, by a commander of colonial forces engaged in the conflict, brilliantly combines a history of the events with his first-hand narrative. Highly recommended. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

Описание: Go. One small word. . .so much power. When God says, "Go," faith says yes, but fear says no.
But Lord, I'm too weak. . .too sinful. . .too afraid. . .
But the truth? . . .
When God says, "Go," it's not about you--it's about Him. When God says, "Go," you face a choice: Sit back and stay safe, or swallow hard and step up? When God says, "Go," your time has come.
Maybe it's time to go somewhere new, someplace you've never been. Maybe it's time to go deeper--in Bible study or relationships. Time to go higher--in prayer or dreams. Time to go and give in new ways, to use God-gifted talents and opportunities. Or time to go and grow, right where you are.
Author Elizabeth Laing Thompson invites you to journal your personal thoughts and feelings alongside scriptural truths and encouragement as you respond to God's call. . .equipping you to face your very own doubts, regrets, and worries--with faith, courage, perspective, and a healthy dose of humor.
When God says, "Go," it's time to decide: Will you sit back and stammer, "But Lord. . .," or will you stand tall and say, "Here I am. Send me"? God is calling you--are you ready to go?
And we've all got to figure out what to do with them. But wait--can we do anything about our emotions? Can we learn how to identify, express, experience--and yes, sometimes wrangle--our feelings in order to live a vibrant, healthy, fruitful life for Jesus?
In All the Feels, author Elizabeth Laing Thompson uses her experiences as a big feeler to encourage and equip different kinds of feelers with the biblical perspectives, practical tools, and scriptural reservoir they need. As a woman who has lived every day of her life having All The Big Feelings All The Day Long, Elizabeth knows what it's like to live life through our emotions--and how important it is to understand, take control of, and grow from those emotions. Whether you have a sensitive soul with more feelings than you know how to name, a logical personality that doesn't quite know what to do with feelings, or a steady flow of emotions somewhere in the middle, All the Feels will help you
discover your own God-designed "feelings style" and how it impacts your life and relationships,
distinguish fact from feeling and figure out which feelings you can trust, and
understand which emotional gifts God wants you to expand, explore, and enjoy.
Get ready to throw open the doors of your heart, bringing God to your emotions and your emotions to God--the One who invented feelings and who always welcomes yours.

Описание: Scientists know history and scientific facts. Religious people know history and spiritual experiences. Both are right. Many scientists reject God and in their failure to be able to explain evolution from its beginning, have theorized many unproven scientific theories. Most religionists reject evolution and refute God's use of mutations and survival of the fittest to adapt to ever-changing environments. Both are wrong. This book is an effort to expose the truth and bring scientists and religionists together as loving brothers and sisters, as God intended when He created the material universe. "I am a research technician in Texas. I am amazed at the website and am very intrigued by the works of Mr. Bob Laing. I recently graduated from Rice University with a degree in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. Love to learn more about the research of Mr. Laing." Ariel V. Nixon, Houston, TX "I admire you for all the synthetic thought you have and the perseverance of every single detail. I know you searched the whole matter deeply and exhaustively. I haven't heard from you and I missed your words and ideas.Always thank you for the new door that you opened to my mind and I read and reread your mails to load my mental batteries." Yiannis, Hellas-Greece "I am an engineer/physics tutor with a strong belief in the bible's accuracy as well as a fairly analytical type. Some time ago I read your article among quite a few others. Your reasoning seems excellent regarding dust slowing light down more & more as the universe has become dustier. Robert McGowan (BE Mech. Canter-bury University 1977) "On the road to meet Jesus and I came upon your sight. You seem like an interesting person and I was impressed with your vast writing." Dan Thompson, Aurora, IL
