Yakuglas' Legacy

The Art and Times of Charlie James

By: Ronald W. Hawker

Charlie James (1867–1937) was a premier carver and painter from the Kwakwaka'wakw First Nation of British Columbia. Also known by his ceremonial name Yakuglas, he was a prolific artist and activist during a period of severe oppression for First Nations people in Canada. Yakuglas’ Legacy examines the life of Charlie James. During the early part of his career James created works primarily for ritual use within Kwakwaka'wakw society. However, in the 1920s, his art found a broader audience as he produced more miniatures and paintings. Through a balanced reading of the historical period and James’ artistic production, Ronald W. Hawker argues that James’ shift to contemporary art forms allowed the artist to make a critical statement about the vitality of Kwakwaka'wakw culture. Yakuglas’ Legacy, aided by the inclusion of 123 colour illustrations, is at once a beautiful and poignant book about the impact of the Canadian project on Aboriginal people and their artistic response.

The Marxist Goliath Among Us

By: Ronald J. Lawrence

Many believe America is secure and we are safe because communism is dead. That prevailing supposition is delusive. Marxism is flourishing and no less venomous. Christianity and family are predicted to collapse, our freedom replaced with its tyranny. Jesus prophesied: "They will deliver you to tribulation and will kill you." So did Lenin: "Destroy the family, you destroy the country." Who are Marxism's covert operatives? - Ministers influenced by Marxist theology are helping create "Christian Socialism." A church group supports Cuban spies in America and has financed communist movements. - The unwanted, the burdens on society, are eliminated by euthanasia's hired killers as "death with dignity." - Humanism, a powerful weapon in Marxism's arsenal, promotes individualism and marital infidelity, insisting God is a mass "sociopathic killer." - Marxism endorses drug trafficking to destroy our culture. - Planned Parenthood promotes youthful sex and disobedience to parental authority, protects pedophiles and offers abortion. It has advocated killing Christians. - The Communist Party insists it is tolerant of, and cooperative with, Christianity, but it is no less atheistic. - Jesus is being crucified with evil words and depictions his crowns of thorns on Marxism's cross of decadence. - Satanism is prospering with its death rituals and immorality because Karl Marx was a committed emissary of Satan. How can we rescue ourselves from this threat and save America? God tells us in His Word. We must confront the Marxist goliath, as David did, and annihilate it. Ronald J. Lawrence is a retired criminal investigative reporter for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He gained knowledge of Marxism during the Vietnam War when he infiltrated the Young Socialist Alliance, an influential communist organization, rose to second-in-command and later testified before the U. S. House Committee on Internal Security. He is a committed Christian and has dedicated his life to God.

The Neuropsychology of Attention

The Neuropsychology of Attention

By: Ronald A. Cohen

As you read this, you are probably unaware of how your left foot feels in your shoe. Although your brain was receiving sensory input from this foot, you were not aware of your foot because you were reading and not attending to it. However, this discussion led you to move your attention to your left foot and to become aware of it. When I was a medical student, I saw a patient who was unaware of both the left side of his body and the left side of his environment. Unlike people in normal health, who when instructed can become aware of the left side of the body; this patient could not be made aware of his left arm or the left side of his environment. The patient's defect was so profound that despite being hungry he was unaware of food on the left side of his tray and did not recognize that his left arm belonged to him. This left-sided body and spatial unawareness could not be accounted for by a primary sensory defect. Although I knew that this man suffered from a large right-hemisphere stroke, I did not know the brain mechanisms that accounted for this profound example of unawareness. It was not until I had almost completed my neurology training in 1969 that I was able to return to this problem. At that time, most neuropsychological research was directed at understanding the language disorders associated with brain disease.

Wallace

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Wallace

By: Ronald Lee Weagley

WALLACE is a trilogy: WAR, WEST, and WEALTH. Each section portrays a modest and inconspicuous protagonist thrust into an immodest and consuming mix of war, frontier survival, and personal accomplishment that stretch values to the breaking point. Rev. Dr. Weagley served the United States Naval Reserve Military as a Chaplain, and actively in the U S. Army Security Agency as an enlisted man. He managed a chain finance office and later worked as a bookkeeper for a trucking company while obtaining multiple college degrees. He served as an ordained Evangelical Lutheran minister, and subsequently obtained his doctorate degree while working as deployed staff for a Synod Bishop. Fifty-three years of marriage blessed the union with four children who granted additional gifts of thirteen grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. In 2007, Dr. Weagley went to war with Guillain-Barre Syndrome, a paralyzing virus that required a shift in emphasis mode from stand-up preacher to sit-down author. Wallace is a fictional characterization that is rooted in truths strung together in reality conundrums. As if in search of justice, truth streams through time, unrestrained, unlimited, and unrestricted.

Privacy Revisited

A Global Perspective on the Right to Be Left Alone

By: Ronald J. Krotoszynski Jr

Rapid technological change, the advent of Big Data, and the creation of society-wide government surveillance programs have transformed the accessibility of highly personal information; these developments have highlighted the ambiguous treatment of privacy and personal intimacy. National legal systems vouchsafe and define "privacy," and its first cousin "dignity," in different ways that reflect local legal and cultural values. Yet, in an increasingly globalized world, purely local protection of privacy interests may prove insufficient to safeguard effectively fundamental autonomy interests - interests that lie at the core of self-definition, personal autonomy, and freedom. Privacy Revisited articulates the legal meanings of privacy and dignity through the lens of comparative law, and argues that the concept of privacy requires a more systematic approach if it is to be useful in framing and protecting certain fundamental autonomy interests. The book begins by providing relevant, and reasonably detailed, information about both the substantive and procedural protections of privacy/dignity in the U.S., Canada, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and among Council of Europe member states. Second, the book explores the inherent tension between affording significant legal protection to the right of privacy (or human dignity) and securing expressive freedoms, notably including the freedom of speech and of the press. The author then posits that the protection of privacy helps to illuminate some of the underlying social and political values that lead the U.S. to fail to protect privacy as reliably or as comprehensively as other liberal democracies. Finally, the book establishes that although privacy and speech come into conflict with some regularity, it is both useful and necessary to start thinking about the important ways in which both rights are integral to the maintenance of democratic self-government.

American Ulysses

A Life of Ulysses S. Grant

By: Ronald C. White

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the author of A. Lincoln, a major new biography of one of America’s greatest generals—and most misunderstood presidents Winner of the William Henry Seward Award for Excellence in Civil War Biography • Finalist for the Gilder-Lehrman Military History Book Prize In his time, Ulysses S. Grant was routinely grouped with George Washington and Abraham Lincoln in the “Trinity of Great American Leaders.” But the battlefield commander–turned–commander-in-chief fell out of favor in the twentieth century. In American Ulysses, Ronald C. White argues that we need to once more revise our estimates of him in the twenty-first. Based on seven years of research with primary documents—some of them never examined by previous Grant scholars—this is destined to become the Grant biography of our time. White, a biographer exceptionally skilled at writing momentous history from the inside out, shows Grant to be a generous, curious, introspective man and leader—a willing delegator with a natural gift for managing the rampaging egos of his fellow officers. His wife, Julia Dent Grant, long marginalized in the historic record, emerges in her own right as a spirited and influential partner. Grant was not only a brilliant general but also a passionate defender of equal rights in post-Civil War America. After winning election to the White House in 1868, he used the power of the federal government to battle the Ku Klux Klan. He was the first president to state that the government’s policy toward American Indians was immoral, and the first ex-president to embark on a world tour, and he cemented his reputation for courage by racing against death to complete his Personal Memoirs. Published by Mark Twain, it is widely considered to be the greatest autobiography by an American leader, but its place in Grant’s life story has never been fully explored—until now. One of those rare books that successfully recast our impression of an iconic historical figure, American Ulysses gives us a finely honed, three-dimensional portrait of Grant the man—husband, father, leader, writer—that should set the standard by which all future biographies of him will be measured. Praise for American Ulysses “[Ronald C. White] portrays a deeply introspective man of ideals, a man of measured thought and careful action who found himself in the crosshairs of American history at its most crucial moment.”—USA Today “White delineates Grant’s virtues better than any author before. . . . By the end, readers will see how fortunate the nation was that Grant went into the world—to save the Union, to lead it and, on his deathbed, to write one of the finest memoirs in all of American letters.”—The New York Times Book Review “Ronald White has restored Ulysses S. Grant to his proper place in history with a biography whose breadth and tone suit the man perfectly. Like Grant himself, this book will have staying power.”—The Wall Street Journal “Magisterial . . . Grant’s esteem in the eyes of historians has increased significantly in the last generation. . . . [American Ulysses] is the newest heavyweight champion in this movement.”—The Boston Globe “Superb . . . illuminating, inspiring and deeply moving.”—Chicago Tribune “In this sympathetic, rigorously sourced biography, White . . . conveys the essence of Grant the man and Grant the warrior.”—Newsday
