The Crusades to the Holy Land had returned with new esoteric secrets from the East. The heretical Cathars were challenging the authority of a divided and corrupt Church of Rome and women were at last accorded a new power and position, forming their own Courts of Love. Out of this extraordinary new age arose a legend which was to surpass all previous Western myths ~ that of a mystical object called the Holy Grail and a knightly Quest in search of it. Between 1190 and 1220, there was an outpouring of stories about this sacred artifact. Deemed heretical by the Church and yet said to hold the blood of the crucified Christ, the Grail chalice was supposedly brought to Britain two thousand years ago. And although the legend is set in the Arthurian Britain of the sixth century, tradition traces the cup of the last supper to a Cathar stronghold in the Pyrenees, under the guardianship of the Knights of the Temple of Jerusalem. The legend of the Holy Grail is not one story, but many, and this book explores the major, and very different, accounts which appeared within a thirty~year span. The legends of the Quest are taken from many sources including the earliest pagan tales of the Celtic Peredur, the unfinished, courtly epic of Cretien de Troyes, Le Conte del Graal, and a little~known poetic gem called the Diu Crone, or the Jeweled Crown. The great Cistercian epic of the Vulgate Cycle, which includes the Queste del San Graal, is probably the account known best to Western readers, yet many more are examined including Perlesvaus, Joseph d'Arimathie, Merlin, the Didot~Perceval and Parzival. In addition we discover that Mary Magdalene is a central figure within the legends and that the miraculous Black Virgin statues, still found throughout Europe today, have strange and intimate ties with the Grail. Even tarot cards contain the sacred Hallows along with a complete blueprint for the Grail Quest, devised by the Templar knights, who spread its heretical secret while being hidden from the Inquisition. Lavishly illustrated, this thought~provoking book bridges an eight~hundred~year gap with a living legend.

Top front corner is lightly barely noticeable bumped. No other defects noted to this otherwise As New book with flawless interior text pages. What is more haunting than the specter of a civilization's collapse such as the abandoned temples of Angkor Wat, the Maya cities overgrown by jungle, or the somber vigil of Easter Island's statues? Who hasn't looked at such ruins and wondered, could the same thing happen to us? In his Pulitzer Prize-winning bestseller Guns, Germs, and Steel, the author examined how and why Western civilizations developed the technologies and immunities that allowed them to dominate much of the world. Diamond probes the other side of the equation: What caused some of the great civilizations of the past to collapse into ruin, and what can we learn from their fates? As in Guns, Germs, and Steel, Diamond weaves an all-encompassing global thesis through a series of fascinating historical-cultural narratives. Moving from the prehistoric Polynesian culture on Easter Island to the formerly flourishing native American civilizations of the Anasazi and the Maya, the doomed medieval Viking colony on Greenland, and finally to the modern world, Diamond traces a fundamental pattern of catastrophe, spelling out what happens when we squander our resources, when we ignore the signals our environment gives us, and when we reproduce too fast or cut down too many trees. Environmental damage, climate change, rapid population growth, unstable trade partners, and pressure from enemies were all factors in the demise of the doomed societies, but other societies found solution to those same problems and persisted. What makes one environment more fragile than another? Why do some societies, but not others, blunder into self-destruction? Similar problems face us today and have already brought disaster to Rwanda and Haiti, even as China and Australia are trying to cope in innovative ways. Despite our own society's apparently inexhaustible wealth and unrivaled political power, ominous warning signs have begun to emerge even in ecologically robust areas like Montana. What economic, social and political choices can we still make so that we don't meet the same ends? Huge in scope, clear and passionate in style, this book is destined to take its place as one of the essential books of our time, raising the urgent question: How can our world best avoid destroying itself? Contents in Four Parts: Modern Montana, Past Societies, Modern Societies, and Practical Lessons.

A beautifully packaged collation of apocalyptic passages from the Old and New Testaments, rendered in exquisite calligraphy, and uniquely breathtaking paintings create a spiritual vision of Christ's Second Coming. 25,000 first printings. Everything about the book is beautiful, from the unusual and original style of Ms. Thomas' painting to the elegant calligraphic rendering by Mary Breeden of the actual Biblical text of Revelation. It is encased in a lovely slipcover, which seems most fitting, because after one opens this treasure one needs to feel it is put away in something that will hold it safely kept, that will protect its stunning visions from harm, that will keep its gifted author's heart from careless tresspassers. The painting of St. John on Patmos which appears on page 52 and the watercolor study of the Archangel Gabriel at the Annunication which appears on page 2 belong to Greene A. Settle, Jr., who has graciously given his permission for them to appear in this book. The painting of the Angel on Land and Sea, which appears on page 30 and on the slipcase, belongs to Ann Holt, who has also graciously given her permission for it to appear in this book. The remainder of the paintings hang in the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and the authors are grateful to that institution.

And no pug has won more hearts than Wilson, everyone's favorite Taoist master from The Tao of Pug. This year he's back - and he's on a mission to find his new pal Homer a home for the holidays. Wilson the Pug has taught his many admirers - canine and otherwise - some important life lessons. And he practices what he preaches. One crisp winter day while out searching for a good deed to do for the holidays, Wilson comes across a baby pug, lost and alone. Determined to do "the right thing," as it is written in the Tao-te Ching, Wilson sets out to help his new buddy Homer, and together they embark on a quest to find the puppy a home. Their adventure takes them along comical and surprising paths, where they encounter many new friends as well as some unsavory characters who cause big trouble for the duo. Things start to look bleak for Homer until Santa Claus himself steps in to lend a hand. Homer just might get his wish after all . Captured in the same style of charming photography and endearing humor that so enchanted fans of The Tao of Pug, Homer for the Holidays is a heartwarming pug buddy story destined to become a holiday favorite of dog lovers of all ages for years to come." - from the inner front jacket flap.

We have a magnificent view overlooking the Alpilles, olive treees that prosper nad a garden that wraps the house in serenity and calm. I have come to understand that making time and taking time is a pleasure to be enjoyed, not a nuisance to endure, falling in love with this place all those years ago changed my life as I knew it; it opened the door to another life, my French life." - from the rear outer jacket.

She spent three years lovingly restoring the farmhouse, bringing back to life the abandoned apple and pear orchards and planting an olive grove of more than 2000 trees. In My French Life Vicki shares an insider's view of life in France, telling her personal tale of taking risks, facing challenges and falling in love with all things French. Intertwined with Vicki's words are lavish photographs by Carla Coulson, which reveal the essence in instinctive French style." - from the inner front jacket flap.

Also includes two color photographic double-page foldouts at the center of the volume. " "He takes me to the window, small, dirty, crisscrossed with old chicken wire, and points across the street to something which seems to be a monster being born not of a living creature but of a building. Seeing this obscene thing is a shock; what is worse is seeing the people passing to and fro beneath it, intent on either plotting their day's business or planning their evening's pleasure; they pass to and fro and do not look up. None of them look up. I hear him say it again: We don't see them . but they see us." Thus does Stephen King, the undisputed master of the modern horror tale, recall his first encounter with the nightmarish figure of a gargoyle. The sculpture, atop an otherwise nondescript New York City building, instilled within King a sense of horror that was "not precisely physical nor precisely mental." It was a sense of horror so peculiar that it prompted him to pen the text for this book of photographs by f-stop Fitzgerald. Starting into the faces in these photographs, King says, is "like having a nightmare awake." Grotesque and repulsive, gargoyles nevertheless hold an undeniable fascination. Fitzgerald, a renowned avant-garde photographer, has captured the macabre, medieval essence of these fantastic creatures in 100 duotone and 24 full-color photographs. Gaze into the faces of these monstrosities; once you've stopped cringing and are assured they aren't going to fly off the page, you might be granted an understanding of why these imaginary beings have figured in countless nightmares down through the ages.Nightmares in the Sky is a visually stunning book, one which would make an ideal gift for anyone interested in horror, Gothic architecture, photography, and the darker side of daydreaming." - from the inner front jacket flap.
