Book Description
Excerpt from The Shifting Spell James, the eldest brother, evaded any prolonged mortification of mind (and lightened the present nar rative) by dying within less than five months of Douglas' entry into Whitridge Grange. Although his death lightens the present narrative, the reader will be sorry to learn that James had contrived to complicate matters by leaving a very young step daughter - Janet Ranford (age, five years) - as sole heiress of his estate, which latter consisted of noth ing save some miserable house property, of less value than £50 a year. Fortunately, however, Douglas' eldest sister, Miss Augusta Stranghurst, had a mania for undertaking special duties; the good dame therefore at once took Charge of the helpless orphan child, and it is to be hoped that the reader will con done James' conduct in having brought this kind hearted lady into prominence because she is about to play a conspicuous part in the history of Whitridge Grange.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Spell This same power of analysis which enabled him to discover what all could not surmise had separated Arm strong, in Helen's mind, from other men, nearer her own age, whom she had known. She could hardly have put in words what the difference was, but she felt that it existed, and this paved the way for his ultimate success. His personal attributes, inevitably tempered by the early Italian influence, marked him as one considerably above the commonplace. At college he had won the respect of his professors by his strength of mind and tenacity of ap plication, and the affection of his fellow - students by his skill in athletics and his general good-fellowship. Now, eight years out of college, he had already made his place at the Boston bar, and was regarded as a successful man in his profession. But beyond all this, unknown even to himself, Armstrong was an extremist. The seed had been sown during that residence in Florence years before, when unconsciously he had assimilated the enthusiasm of an erudite librarian for the learning and achievements of the master spirits of the past. Latin and Greek at college had thus meant much more to him than dead languages; in them he found living personalities which inspired in him the liveliest ambition for em ulation. These were some of the subjects to which he intro duced Helen. Little by little he told her of the fascina tion they possessed for him, of the treasures hidden be neath their austere exterior. But the girl was perhaps more interested by the charm of his presentation than by the possibilities she saw in the subjects themselves. She felt that she could understand him, and admitted her respect for the objects of his enthusiasm, but she was convinced that these were beyond her comprehension.

Book Description
Winner of the International Lannan Literary Award for Nonfiction Animal tracks, word magic, the speech of stones, the power of letters, and the taste of the wind all figure prominently in this intellectual tour de force that returns us to our senses and to the sensuous terrain that sustains us. This major work of ecological philosophy startles the senses out of habitual ways of perception. For a thousand generations, human beings viewed themselves as part of the wider community of nature, and they carried on active relationships not only with other people with other animals, plants, and natural objects (including mountains, rivers, winds, and weather patters) that we have only lately come to think of as "inanimate." How, then, did humans come to sever their ancient reciprocity with the natural world? What will it take for us to recover a sustaining relation with the breathing earth? In The Spell of the Sensuous David Abram draws on sources as diverse as the philosophy of Merleau-Ponty, Balinese shamanism, Apache storytelling, and his own experience as an accomplished sleight-of-hand of magician to reveal the subtle dependence of human cognition on the natural environment. He explores the character of perception and excavates the sensual foundations of language, which--even at its most abstract--echoes the calls and cries of the earth. On every page of this lyrical work, Abram weaves his arguments with a passion, a precision, and an intellectual daring that recall such writers as Loren Eisleley, Annie Dillard, and Barry Lopez.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Wind in the Rose-Bush: And Other Stories of the Supernatural She was tall and spare and pale, the type of a spinster, yet with rudimentary lines and expressions of matronhood. She all unconsciously held her shawl, rolled up in a canvas bag, on her left hip, as if it had been a child. She wore a settled frown of dissent at life, but it was the frown of a mother who regarded life as a froward child, rather than as an overwhelming fate.

Excerpt from The Spell of England Then We will omit Stratford, I replied quickly. You would certainly miss Stratford. Stop and think how you felt in some old Cots wold town, with its little stone houses rising like natural creations from the earth, embody ing the poetry and charm of the simple living for hundreds of years of those naive, delightful folk who tilled the soil and played their games in rustic light-heartedness?
