Описание: First published more than a century ago, The Biography of a Grizzly recounts the life of a fictitious bear named Wahb who lived and died in the Greater Yellowstone region. This new edition combines Ernest Thompson Seton's classic tale and original illustrations with historical and scientific context for Wahb's story, providing a thorough understanding of the setting, cultural connections, biology, and ecology of Seton's best-known book. By the time The Biography of a Grizzly was published in 1900, grizzly bears had been hunted out of much of their historical range in North America. The characterization of Wahb, along with Seton's other anthropomorphic tales of American wildlife, helped to change public perceptions and promote conservation. As editors Jeremy M. Johnston and Charles R. Preston remind us, however, Seton's approach to writing about animals put him at the center of the ""Nature-Faker"" controversy of the early twentieth century, when John Burroughs and Theodore Roosevelt, among others, denounced sentimental representations of wildlife. The editors address conservation scientists' continuing concerns about inaccurate depictions of nature in popular culture. Despite its anthropomorphism, Seton's paradoxical book imparts a good deal of insightful and accurate natural history, even as its exaggerations shaped early-twentieth-century public opinion on conservation in often counterproductive ways. By complicating Seton's enthralling tale with scientific observations of grizzly behavior in the wild, Johnston and Preston evaluate the story's accuracy and bring the story of Yellowstone grizzlies into the present day. Preserving the 1900 edition's original design and illustrations, Wahb brings new understanding to an American classic, updating the book for current and future generations.

In 1975, two centuries after her birth, Pope Paul VI canonized Elizabeth Ann Seton, making her the first saint to be a native-born citizen of the United States in the Roman Catholic Church. Seton came of age in Manhattan as the city and her family struggled to rebuild themselves after the Revolution, explored both contemporary philosophy and Christianity, converted to Catholicism from her native Episcopalian faith, and built the St. Joseph’s Academy and Free School in Emmitsburg, Maryland. Hers was an exemplary early American life of struggle, ambition, questioning, and faith, and in this flowing biography, Catherine O’Donnell has given Seton her due.
O’Donnell places Seton squarely in the context of the dynamic and risky years of the American and French Revolutions and their aftermath. Just as Seton’s dramatic life was studded with hardship, achievement, and grief so were the social, economic, political, and religious scenes of the Early American Republic in which she lived. O’Donnell provides the reader with a strong sense of this remarkable woman’s intelligence and compassion as she withstood her husband’s financial failures and untimely death, undertook a slow conversion to Catholicism, and struggled to reconcile her single-minded faith with her respect for others’ different choices. The fruit of her labors were the creation of a spirituality that embraced human connections as well as divine love and the American Sisters of Charity, part of an enduring global community with a specific apostolate for teaching.
The trove of correspondence, journals, reflections, and community records that O’Donnell weaves together throughout Elizabeth Seton provides deep insight into her life and her world. Each source enriches our understanding of women’s friendships and choices, illuminates the relationships within the often-opaque world of early religious communities, and upends conventional wisdom about the ways Americans of different faiths competed and collaborated during the nation’s earliest years. Through her close and sympathetic reading of Seton’s letters and journals, O’Donnell reveals Seton the person and shows us how, with both pride and humility, she came to understand her own importance as Mother Seton in the years before her death in 1821.

Описание: Within this volume Ernest Thompson Seton attempts to recount the actions and interactions of various woodland critters from their tracks alone. From a weasel racing across the snow after its prey to hungry wolves themselves stalking a moose, Seton imparts the basics of animal tracking in this half-instruction manual half-exciting narrative designed to inspire children. Ernest Thompson Seton (1860 - 1946) was an English author and wildlife artist who founded the Woodcraft Indians in 1902. He was also among the founding members of the Boy Scouts of America, established in 1910. He wrote profusely on this subject, the most notable of his scouting literature including "The Birch Bark Roll" and the "Boy Scout Handbook". Seton was also an early pioneer of animal fiction writing, and he is fondly remembered for his charming book "Wild Animals I Have Known" (1898). Other notable works by this author include: "Lobo, Rag and Vixen" (1899), "Two Little Savages" (1903), and "Animal Heroes" (1911). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.

Описание: What is The Short Cut?The Short Cut is the immediate possession of your heart's desire; not next year, not next month, nor tomorrow, but NOW.The promissory side of the New Psychology is so great that it comes with an almost staggering suddenness to the old mind imbued with the old thought ideas."There is nothing we cannot have," says the new seer "if you want any thing, why don't you have it?" This is the only really potent question of the day.The new Psychologist goes deeply to the root of human desire and sees that all humanity wants the same things, only in varying degrees, and knows that all human endeavor is directed toward the attainment of the heart's desire.No matter how frail the method, no matter how fraught with superstition, tradition, or weakness, through everything there runs the slender thread of human desire, calling insatiably for its own.The new seer says, You want health, wealth, love and usefulness. So do I, so does the whole world; - well, you can have them. If it is health you are calling for, bring it to yourself and cease to drag around a body that shrieks with pain. Is it wealth you want? Then get it, and stop your soul-sickened cry for liberty from your limitations. Is it love you seek? Then call it to you, to have and hold till the want grows cold, or links your soul with your "other soul" to the edge of the grave and on beyond into the dream to come. Are you tired of idleness? Then get busy. Why should your soul stand dumb and useless amid the great world throng? What do you want to do? Go do it. There is no one who says no to you but yourself; the great Universal Supply of all these things stands waiting to be acted upon. You are the actor. No one will give to you but yourself, no one can take away from you but yourself; the Universal Supply is willing, - what is the matter with you?"The New Psychology explains all of the laws of attainment. It explains them in a way that can be understood and practiced, but after the last word has been said and the last lesson absorbed there comes from the questioning students this never failing question and these statements: "Is there no short cut? I believe if I follow the new laws laid down this higher revelation of our day and hour, I shall eventually send myself into possession of all that makes life whole and complete; but these methods take time, this kingdom of conquest is not born overnight."I do not want to wait. If these things are law - and all things are accomplished through the law of the thing itself - is there no way by which we can transcend the slower action and become one with the finer actions of the same law, as the motor car transcends the ox cart in the law of transportation?"I cannot wait. There is nothing I will not do to get wealth at once, there is no personal test I will not stand to free myself from the galling chains of poverty; I will lay down some part of my own life for the love that loves me; I will spare no effort of personal giving to be able to be of great use to my day and age. Tell me, is there no short cut?"In answer to the thousands who ask these questions this book is written.Yes, there is a short cut to REGENERATION OF OUR WHOLE BEING. It is a short, steep climb out onto the mountain tops where life's finer forces do the super-work, and the method is simple: just fast and breathe, control eating, exercise, think, feel, and act in unison with the Higher Law and Regeneration will be yours.Strait is the gate and narrow is the way - and few there be who walk therein." Many are called but few are chosen, but to the one who falters not, the promises are all fulfilled at once, because he sets the law of the promises in action by his own extended consciousness.JULIA SETON, M.
