Excerpt from Neely's History of the Parliament of Religions and Religious Congresses at the World's Columbian Exposition: Compiled From Original Manuscripts and Stenographic Reports The snows of winter will soon wrap the beautiful White City in an unbroken silence. It has been for two years the home of all the arts, its forums thronged with the devotees of every science. Though change and the needs of the busy Garden City may scatter to the four winds these deserted altars where a world has worshiped the Great Architect, an imperishable record will remain! While countless thousands, taking up again the threads of daily life, or journeying forth to the uttermost ends of the earth, may, in the heart, memory, and delighted mind's eye, preserve for years the visions of the fairyland of our century, were it not for the genius of Literature all would in time be lost!

Baseball in the Garden of Eden
Author: John ThornPublisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 0743294041
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 386
Book Description
Think you know how the game of baseball began? Think again. Forget Abner Doubleday and Cooperstown. Did baseball even have a father--or did it just evolve from other bat-and-ball games? John Thorn, baseball's preeminent historian, examines the creation story of the game and finds it all to be a gigantic lie. From its earliest days baseball was a vehicle for gambling, a proxy form of class warfare. Thorn traces the rise of the New York version of the game over other variations popular in Massachusetts and Philadelphia. He shows how the sport's increasing popularity in the early decades of the nineteenth century mirrored the migration of young men from farms and small towns to cities, especially New York. Full of heroes, scoundrels, and dupes, this book tells the story of nineteenth-century America, a land of opportunity and limitation, of glory and greed--all present in the wondrous alloy that is our nation and its pastime.--From publisher description.

Science and Religion Around the World
Author: John Hedley BrookePublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199793182
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 335
Book Description
The past quarter-century has seen an explosion of interest in the history of science and religion. But all too often the scholars writing it have focused their attention almost exclusively on the Christian experience, with only passing reference to other traditions of both science and faith. At a time when religious ignorance and misunderstanding have lethal consequences, such provincialism must be avoided and, in this pioneering effort to explore the historical relations of what we now call "science" and "religion," the authors go beyond the Abrahamic traditions to examine the way nature has been understood and manipulated in regions as diverse as ancient China, India, and sub-Saharan Africa. Science and Religion around the World also provides authoritative discussions of science in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam -- as well as an exploration of the relationship between science and the loss of religious beliefs. The narratives included in this book demonstrate the value of plural perspectives and of the importance of location for the construction and perception of science-religion relations.
