Kingsway

Remembering the Past, Defining the Future

By: Christopher R. King

Kingsway is a never-quit blueprint from poverty to success told by Christopher R. King. This inspiring book illustrates his exciting rags to riches journey, through page-turning stories. A tenth-grade dropout, who was raised by a single mother, King didn't follow a typical path to his self-made achievements. He found business mentorship from unusual sources and became involved with the rapidly exploding hip-hop movement coming out of New York City. King, an ambitious entrepreneur, quickly moved from concert promotions to owning a nightclub; his successes include the creation of sold-out shows with artists like 50 Cent. After a tragic accident to a close friend, King gave up his bulletproof vest for a three-piece suit and went on to build a real estate empire all before the age of twenty-six. He shares detailed stories of the financial crash of 2008 and how he had to face adversity in order to once again build a second fortune. King shows us how his trials and failures became learning tools and showcases the mindset you need to get up and keep going. These intimate narratives further tell of how he created a variety of successful ventures; he cofounded an ultra-premium wine called King of Clubs with legendary Napa Valley winemaker Robert Mondavi Jr. and then went on to build an Italian-made luxury accessories business with a roster of celebrity and A-list clients around the world. He is a different breed of entrepreneur and demonstrates that anything is possible when you set your mind to it. Kingsway is the hopeful chronicle of hard lessons, ultimately designed to provide a road map toward self-reliance and generational excellence. With a deep belief in himself and an abiding faith in God, King shows us how he has overcome obstacles and failures. King's story is a testament to the power of the human spirit. You will get a behind-the-scenes look at how, despite his lack of formal education and unassuming upbringing, he would discover his passion and calling, at the urging of close friend and business partner Rob Dyrdek. More than anything, King's pursuit of his ideals is rooted in a singular obsession, the quest for a return to the Art of the Gentleman. His story is both inspiring and entertaining. Reviews "Chris King is a combination of true passion, pure grit, and relentless drive. His story is proof that if you never give up, you will find your true calling." - Rob Dyrdek CEO, Dyrdek Machine, TV & Media Personality "I've known Chris for over a decade. His drive and execution have always astonished me! His ability to find the details in the details makes him second to none! This book is a must read!!!" - Dolvett Quince Host of NBC's The Biggest Loser; Health and Fitness Expert "Christopher embodies what the pioneering American spirit is all about: perseverance, resilience, and ingenuity. I've rarely met a man who appreciates the finer things in life as much as he does. Any wine lover would appreciate these stories." - Carlton McCoy Jr. Heitz Cellar, Napa Valley; CEO & Master Sommelier "Christopher King has an insatiable appetite in his quest for excellence. I had the distinct pleasure of introducing him to the sport of polo. King was quick to learn, but further, displayed true grit and an obsessive dedication that seems to serve him well in nearly every life pursuit." - Shane Baum Leisure Society; Founder & Designer "There was always a way... THE KINGS WAY. It's funny, because whenever I would tell him something, he seemed to know the answer before I could tell him whether he was right or wrong. That takes courage and belief, which are the two most important keys to success." - Kenny Burns Entertainment Executive, TV & Radio Host

The Battle for Mythic Britain

Gods, Heroes, & Kings

The Battle for Mythic Britain

By: Christopher R. Fee

The islands of Britain have been a crossroads of gods, heroes, and kings-those of flesh as well as those of myth-for thousands of years. Successive waves of invasion brought distinctive legends, rites, and beliefs. The ancient Celts displaced earlier indigenous peoples, only to find themselves displaced in turn by the Romans, who then abandoned the islands to Germanic tribes, a people themselves nearly overcome in time by an influx of Scandinavians. With each wave of invaders came a battle for the mythic mind of the Isles as the newcomer's belief system met with the existing systems of gods, legends, and myths. In Gods, Heroes, and Kings, medievalist Christopher Fee and veteran myth scholar David Leeming unearth the layers of the British Isles' unique folkloric tradition to discover how this body of seemingly disparate tales developed. The authors find a virtual battlefield of myths in which pagan and Judeo-Christian beliefs fought for dominance, and classical, Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, and Celtic narrative threads became tangled together. The resulting body of legends became a strange but coherent hybrid, so that by the time Chaucer wrote "The Wife of Bath's Tale" in the fourteenth century, a Christian theme of redemption fought for prominence with a tripartite Celtic goddess and the Arthurian legends of Sir Gawain-itself a hybrid mythology. Without a guide, the corpus of British mythology can seem impenetrable. Taking advantage of the latest research, Fee and Leeming employ a unique comparative approach to map the origins and development of one of the richest folkloric traditions. Copiously illustrated with excerpts in translation from the original sources,Gods, Heroes, and Kings provides a fascinating and accessible new perspective on the history of British mythology.

The Ideal of Kingship in the Writings of Charles Williams, C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien

The Ideal of Kingship in the Writings of Charles Williams, C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien

Divine Kingship is reflected in Middle-Earth

By: Christopher Scarf

In his distinctive work, Christopher Scarf explores the writings of the three most prominent Oxford Inklings - Charles Williams (1886-1945), C.S. Lewis (1898-1963), and J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973) - to reveal and contrast their conceptions of the ideal of 'kingship'; divine, human, and mythological. As practising Christians, the faith of all three writers was central to their literary and personal visions of kingship, society, love, beauty, justice and power. Scarf investigates their beliefin God as Creator and heavenly King, opinions on the nature of His very being, and the way in which all believed the Creator to be unique rather than one among many. The relationship between the earthly and heavenly King is considered, as well as the extent to which the writers contend that earthly kings are God's viceregents, act with His authority, and are duty-bound to establish and sustain just and joyous societies. Examining the writings of all three men in detail, Scarf also highlights the covert evidence of their lives and personalities which may be discovered in their texts. An understanding of the authors' individual but overlapping views of the essential meaning of Kingship, and their personalities and early lives, will enrichthe reader's appreciation of their created worlds. This volume provides a unique focus on Kingship and the Christian beliefs of three well-loved writers, and will be of interest to any reader seeking a fuller understanding of the individuals and their works.

The Arthurian Name Dictionary

By: Christopher W. Bruce

A comprehensive encyclopedia of characters, places, objects, and themes found in the legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round table. Draws from all significant source between Gildas' De Excidio Britanniae written about 540 AD and Tennyson's 19th-century Idylls of the King, including versions from throughout Europe. The entries range from a short identifying sentence to nearly ten pages for the king himself. Each is referenced to a source, which are presented in a endtable showing author and tit date, form, and langua description; keywords from the entries; and recent editions, a vital bit of information such references usually neglect. The cross-referencing is fairly good, often done as a full entry identifying a name as a variant of another, so the lack of an index is not a problem. Distributed in the US by Taylor and Francis.

The Seven Basic Plots

Why We Tell Stories

By: Christopher Booker

This book at last provides a comprehensive answer to the age-old riddle of whether there are only a small number of 'basic stories' in the world. Using a wealth of examples, from ancient myths and folk tales, via the plays and novels of great literature to the popular movies and TV soap operas of today, it shows that there are seven archetypal themes which recur throughout every kind of storytelling." "But this is only the prelude to an investigation into how and why we are 'programmed' to imagine stories in these ways, and how they relate to the inmost patterns of human psychology. Drawing on a vast array of examples, from Proust to detective stories, from the Marquis de Sade to E.T., Christopher Booker then leads us through the extraordinary changes in the nature of storytelling over the past 200 years, and why so many stories have 'lost the plot' by losing touch with their underlying archetypal purpose."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Richard II

Manhood, Youth, and Politics 1377-99

By: Christopher Fletcher

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Richard II

Manhood, Youth, and Politics 1377-99

By: Christopher Fletcher

Richard II (1377-99) has long suffered from an unusually unmanly reputation. Over the centuries, he has been habitually associated with lavish courtly expenditure, absolutist ideas, Francophile tendencies, and a love of peace, all of which have been linked to the king's physical effeminacy. Even sympathetic accounts have essentially retained this picture, merely dismissing particular facets of it, or representing Richard's reputation as evidence of praiseworthy dissent from accepted norms of masculinity. Christopher Fletcher takes a radically different approach, setting the politics of Richard II's reign firmly in the context of late medieval assumptions about the nature of manhood and youth. This makes it possible not only to understand the agenda of the king's critics, but also to suggest a new account of his actions. Far from being the effeminate tyrant of historical imagination, Richard was a typical young nobleman, trying to establish his manhood, and hence his authority to rule, by thoroughly conventional means; first through a military campaign, and then, fatally, through violent revenge against those who attempted to restrain him. The failure of Richard's subjects to support this aspiration produced a sequence of conflicts with the king, in which his opponents found it convenient to ascribe to him the conventional faults of youth. These critiques derived their force not from the king's real personality, but from the fit between certain contemporary assumptions about youth, effeminacy, and masculinity on the one hand, and the actions of Richard's government, constrained by difficult and complex circumstances, on the other.

In Bed with Sherlock Holmes

Sexual Elements in Arthur Conan Doyle's Stories of the Great Detective

By: Christopher Redmond

In Bed with Sherlock Holmes provides a witty and well-researched discussion of the sexual elements in the Sherlock holmes stories, and in Conan Doyle's own life. An expert commentator on all things Victorian, Doyle also reflects that period's attitudes toward sex and erotic love. This commentary will make the Sherlock Holmes stories even more interesting and intriguing since Redmond uses published and unpublished articles, books and letters, as well as quotes from speeches given at meetings, to enliven the text and give a broad out-look to this unusual assessment of Doyle's best known stories. Each chapter opens with one of the original Sidney Paget illustrations. Bibliography. Index.

The Order of Canada

Its Origins, History, and Development

By: Christopher McCreery

In 1966, a project to create a national honour for Canadians was begun. The first recipients of the Order of Canada were announced a year later, and in the nearly forty years since, the Order has become a symbol familiar to, and respected by, people from across the country. The spirit that motivates the Order of Canada - celebration, inclusion, and democracy - was born of the memories of Canada's earlier experience with honours. From initial distrust and misunderstanding to the awakening of a national identity, the development of the Order reflects the relationship Canadians have with their country, their government, their culture, and their heroes. The Order itself is a product of national identity, politics, and history, reflected by the significance of its recipients' accomplishments. Indeed, the Order's history is as fascinating as the more than 4000 Canadians who have received it. This first book-length history of the Order of Canada - and first major work on Canadian honours - by Christopher McCreery is a celebration of the Order and a close examination of its unique design and various early incarnations. McCreery provides both a history of the Order's beginnings and a more general overview of trends in Canadian honours. Extensively illustrated with never-before-published photographs, The Order of Canada: Its Origins, History, and Developments pays tribute to the individuals who felt the need for a system of recognition for Canadians.

Solomon's Power Brokers

The Secrets of Freemasonry, the Church, and the Illuminati

By: Christopher Knight,Alan Butler

Is Freemasonry nothing more than a benign and charitable men's social club as the Order insists or does it have a deeper and perhaps darker purpose? Could these men be part of the "Illuminati" - a group of intellectuals with extremely grand plans for the development of civilization? And if so, what is the grand plan that these men were so determined to bring about, and why should there be such opposition to it? Christopher Knight and Alan Butler reveal that present-day freemasons are the spiritual descendents of an ancient priesthood that was forced to act in secrecy. In the early days of Christianity, their views offended and opposed those of the orthodox Church, and later in feudal Europe, both the State and the established Church considered them heretics and sworn enemies. Yet, they could not be silenced - or defeated - and members of this priesthood have continued to this day to work in subtle and sometimes subversive ways to achieve their aims, often occupying very elevated positions within Western society, and always maintaining complete anonymity to those outside their fellowship. The extraordinary story that unfolds in "Solomon's Power Brokers" reveals that the building of the modern world was no haphazard process. There was a grand plan - and it has succeeded. The "New World Order" is already here.

An Annotated Catalogue of the Edward C. Atwater Collection of American Popular Medicine and Health Reform: A-L

By: Christopher Hoolihan

This is a catalogue of the Edward C. Atwater Collection of rare books dealing with "popular medicine" in early America which is housed at the University of Rochester Medical School library. The books described in the catalogue were written by physicians and other professionals to provide information for the non-medical audience. The books taught human anatomy, hygiene, temperance and diet, how to maintain health, and how to cope with illness especially when no professional help was available. The books promoted a healthy lifestyle for the readers, giving guidance on everything from physical fitness and recreation to the special health needs of women. The collection consists of works dealing with reproduction [from birth control to delivering and caring for a baby], venereal disease, home-nursing, epidemics, and the need for public sex education. These books, covering areas largely ignored by the medical profession, made important contributions to the health of the American public, and the collection is a vital piece of medical history. The collector is Edward C. Atwater, Professor Emeritus of Medicine and the History of Medicine at the University of Rochester Medical School. Christopher Hoolihan is History of Medicine Librarian at the University of Rochester Medical School's Edward G. Miner LIbrary.
