Jane Jacobs's First City
Author: Glenna LangPublisher: New Village Press
ISBN: 1613321406
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 481
Book Description
A thorough investigation of how Jane Jacobs’s ideas about the life and economy of great cities grew from her home city, Scranton Jane Jacobs’s First City vividly reveals how this influential thinker and writer’s classic works germinated in the once vibrant, mid-size city of Scranton, Pennsylvania, where Jane spent her initial eighteen years. In the 1920s and 1930s, Scranton was a place of enormous diversity and opportunity. Small businesses of all kinds abounded and flourished, quality public education was available to and supported by all, and even recent immigrants could save enough to buy a house. Opposing political parties joined forces to tackle problems, and citizens worked together for the public good. Through interviews with contemporary Scrantonians and research of historic newspapers, city directories, and vital records, author Glenna Lang has uncovered Scranton as young Jane experienced it and shows us the lasting impact of her growing up in this thriving and accessible environment. Readers can follow the development of Jane’s acute observational abilities from childhood through her passion in early adulthood to understand and write about what she saw. Reflecting Jane’s belief in trusting one’s own direct observation above all, this volume has been richly illustrated with historic and modern color images that help bring alive a lost Scranton. The book demonstrates why, at the end of Jacobs’s life, her thoughts and conversations increasingly returned to Scranton and the potential for cohesion and inclusiveness in all cities.

Book Description
The Chaplet of Saint Michael the Archangel in Latin and English (2021) contains the prayers of this popular devotion which can be traced to 1751 Portugal, when the Carmelite nun Antonia d'Astonac experienced an apparition of Saint Michael the Archangel. He told her that he wished to be honoured by this devotional prayer that has since become known as the Chaplet of Saint Michael the Archangel. This private revelation was approved by Blessed Pius IX by a decree of the Sacred Congregation of Rites (Sacrorum Rituum) on 8 August 1851. "It is said that those who would practice this devotion would have, when approaching Holy Communion, an escort of nine angels chosen from each one of the nine choirs of angels. In addition, for the daily recital of these nine salutations, Saint Michael promised his continual assistance and that of all the holy angels during life, and after death, deliverance from purgatory for themselves and their relations" (The Chaplet of Saint Michael the Archangel in Latin and English (2021), Introduction, p. 7). This 32-page prayer book includes the nine salutations corresponding to the nine Choirs of Angels that largely make up the chaplet, as well as a small collection of various prayers (orationes variae) to Saint Michael and the Holy Angels. Everything is included in both English and Latin, which remains the official language of the Catholic Church.

Beneath the Second Sun
Author: Adam W. SweetingPublisher: UPNE
ISBN: 9781584653141
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
Indian summer, the succession of warm, fair days gracing New England in autumn, is at once a flourishing period signaling the end of fall, a meteorological event, a vernacular cultural construction, and a literary metaphor. In this appealing and elegant book, Sweeting plumbs Indian summer's use in literature as a symbol of second chance, rebirth, or reprieve before the onset of a harsher season. Well researched and charmingly written, Beneath the Second Sun is the first book to systematically treat the history and uses of Indian summer imagery in American life. The author focuses on the ways in which New Englanders have embraced the season, and he places the celebration of the season's beauty and its melancholy qualities within the context of Anglo-Native American relations. Sweeting does not try to locate the original definition of Indian summer, rather he explores the far more interesting ways in which the season has been imagined and described in American culture. Popular authors including Philip Freneau, Susan Cooper, Lydia Sigourney, John Greenleaf Whittier, Francis Parkman Oliver, Wendell Holmes, and, especially, Henry David Thoreau, Emily Dickinson, and William Dean Howells freely employ Indian summer imagery in their works. In the context of modern American Studies, Sweeting's study is part of a "post-modern" scholarly discussion of how tangible realities such as climate are mediated, even forged, by social needs. Sweeting further investigates the imaginative, early-nineteenth-century "invention" of New England regional identity and integrates traditional American Studies literary and historical concerns with a contemporary interest in the environment and sense of place. Sweeting's graceful, lively, and accessible style beckons not only scholars of American literature and the nineteenth century but any traveler seeking the glories of autumn in New England.
