In these pages, the nation's birth and development, pain and sorrow, ideals and enduring promise come to life as never before, making a once-familiar past seem newoxfam bookshop knutsford in the dramatic narratives that comprise the republic of nature, mark fiege reframes the canonical account of american history based on the simple but radical premise that nothing in the nation's past can be considered apart from the natural circumstances in which it occurredrevisiting historical icons so familiar that schoolchildren learn to take them for granted, he makes surprising connections that enable readers to see old stories in a new lightboard of educationabraham lincoln, an unlettered citizen from the countryside, steers the union through a moment of extreme peril, guided by his clear-eyed vision of nature's capacity for improvementthe republic of nature points to a startlingly different version of history that calls on readers to reconnect with fundamental forces that shaped the american experiencein topeka, kansas, transformations of land and life prompt a lawsuit that culminates in the momentous civil rights case of brown vby focusing on materials and processes intrinsic to all things and by highlighting the nature of the united states, fiege recovers the forgotten and overlooked ground on which so much history has unfoldedamong the historical moments revisited here, a revolutionary nation arises from its environment and struggles to reconcile the diversity of its people with the claim that nature is the source of libertycom/ see oxfam website for delivery information read morefor more information, visit the author's website: http://republicofnature

Tracing the remarkable trajectory of this enigmatic work, white's exhaustively researched book also demonstrates why the yoga of india's past bears little resemblance to the yoga practiced todayvirtually forgotten in india for hundreds of years and maligned when it was first discovered in the west, the yoga sutra has been elevated to its present iconic status-and translated into more than forty languages-only in the course of the past forty yearsoxfam bookshop cotham hill first edition grey boards and spine with gilt embossed title to spine light shelf-wear to corners and top and bottom of spine but otherwise clean small marks to dust cover which is not price-clipped light bumps to edges of cover rough-cut pages are clean and bright with no marks, creases, or tears book and spine are bright and tight previous owner's pencil commentary to front end flap ("far outshines any since") consisting of fewer than two hundred verses written in an obscure if not impenetrable language and style, patanjali's yoga sutra is today extolled by the yoga establishment as a perennial classic and guide to yoga practicewhite brings to life the improbable cast of characters whose interpretations-and misappropriations-of the yoga sutra led to its revered place in popular culture todaywhite retraces the strange and circuitous journey of this confounding work from its ancient origins down through its heyday in the seventh through eleventh centuries, its gradual fall into obscurity, and its modern resurgence since the nineteenth centuryas david gordon white demonstrates in this groundbreaking study, both of these assumptions are incorrectfirst introduced to the west by the british orientalist henry thomas colebrooke, the yoga sutra was revived largely in europe and america, and predominantly in englishsee oxfam website for delivery information read more
