Описание: Excerpt from Biographical Sketch of William L. Knight, M.D., Ex-President of the Society: Read Before the Philadelphia County Medical Society, October 15, 1877

The custom of commemorating, in some form, the death of one who has impressed his fellows by his virtues or his actions, is of very ancient date, and its continuance at present is not only evi dence of its propriety, but of its filling a want that the mind of every person admits to exist.

Among the ancients, each of the acquaintances of the deceased is said to have dropped a stone upon a spot consecrated to his memory, and thus, in preportion to the tributes made by friends, there was erected a monument that recalled to each traveller that in that place reposed the remains of one whom many had delighted to honor.' In accordance with this natural feeling, biography has always offered much that was attractive; enchaining the heart of the reader with irresistible interest, whilst furnishing instruction to every diversity of condition. Biography, it has been truly said, not only exhibits the human character in every possible phase, whether in the bustle and contests of public life, or in the retire ment of domestic privacy, but also shows how all, whether humble or distinguished, have been liable to the same misfortunes, sustained the same trials, and only differed in the traits of character that enabled them to overcome, or led them to succumb in the contests of a checkered life. In this manner biography, like history, teaches by its example.

Описание:

Having founded the bank that became the most powerful in Europe in the fifteenth century, the Medici gained massive political power in Florence, raising the city to a peak of cultural achievement and becoming its hereditary dukes. Among their number were no fewer than three popes and a powerful and influential queen of France. Their influence brought about an explosion of Florentine art and architecture. Michelangelo, Donatello, Fra Angelico, and Leonardo were among the artists with whom they were socialized and patronized.

Thus runs the "accepted view" of the Medici. However, Mary Hollingsworth argues that the idea that the Medici were enlightened rulers of the Renaissance is a fiction that has now acquired the status of historical fact. In truth, the Medici were as devious and immoral as the Borgias--tyrants loathed in the city they illegally made their own. In this dynamic new history, Hollingsworth argues that past narratives have focused on a sanitized and fictitious view of the Medici--wise rulers, enlightened patrons of the arts, and fathers of the Renaissance--but that in fact their past was reinvented in the sixteenth century, mythologized by later generations of Medici who used this as a central prop for their legacy.

Hollingsworth's revelatory re-telling of the story of the family Medici brings a fresh and exhilarating new perspective to the story behind the most powerful family of the Italian Renaissance.

Описание: Paul Laffan synthesizes critical findings that portray Jesus of Nazareth and Christian origins sharply different from the picture provided in the New Testament writings and popular understandings today. This critical picture, he argues, must be better disseminated by biblical scholars to increase historical literacy regarding Jesus and the Gospels.

Описание: This book depicts the revelations of a boy with aspirations. However, his young life was met with encounterments that would hinder and ultimately prevent accomplishments from being achieved. Becoming a Miami Dolphin football player or an astronaut could only be a dream. The culprit is a disease called Muscular Dystrophy. His type was duchenne, which is incurable. Words associated with this disease are muscular weakness, deterioration and extreme weight loss. Requirements are heavy metal leg braces, custom made back braces and wheelchairs. This book takes you on a journey of Adam's like as he coped with not only the aforementioned, but daily variety of meds, oxygen treatments and leg massages. His education consisted of a special Ed school when it was determined that at a regular high school, he endured too many obstacles such as impatient teachers and some students who abusively had fun with jokes about his back brace and twisted body. His final years of schooling would be from his bed at home with a tutor. During his teen years, girlfriends, attending dances, amusement parks and participating or being a spectator of sports are all identifiable with those years. Adam had two companions, which weren't girls. They were a wheelchair and a home hydraulic lift with seat that would transport him from room to room and to the bathroom. A main feature of this illness is a contemptible daily pain. When Adam asked his parents if he would be remembered, reading his life story answers that question. Adam Scott touched the hearts of all who knew him. Your heart will be touched too.
