Illuminating a region to which America will be inextricably bound for some time to come, "New Yorker" staff writer Anderson offers an unprecedented look into the forces that shape the Afghan conflict and the players who may threaten Afghanistan's future.
This book offers the first in-depth study of Attic funerary monuments during the geometric, archaic, and classical period. The analysis of forms, images and inscriptions shows, from an anthropological perspective, the Athenian attitude towards death in its fundamental difference to Christian occidental views. The book, which was originally published in German, is revised.
Why would a cemetery need a clock tower? The dead cannot tell time, right? Why were some beautifully kept up and others abandoned? Why did some have guards with guns at the gate? I started to read up on histories and any other information on cemeteries I could get my hands on. A general search for any and all cemeteries began. Dead men may not tell tales, but the symbols on their tombstones do. What religion were they? What club did they belong to? What was their occupation? All and more can be found on monuments. Don't be afraid, open the gate and come in.
Collects short horror stories and extracts from longer acclaimed novels.
Lion images are everywhere. In literature, in religion, in statues, emblems and heraldry. Symbols of them are found in all larger European cities -- particularly London. Many are also in Vancouver, British Columbia. A lion image is visually stimulating and should become part of our life.
