The Bible (Landmarks of World Literature)

This study focuses on the Bible as a landmark of literature, showing both how it has influenced writers through the ages and how it in turn has been influenced by contemporary literature. It describes what is known about the historical context of the documents, the changes of interpretation they have undergone over the centuries, and the problems and influence of various translations, ranging from Tyndale to the Good News Bible.

Don't say a word. Bobby Barnes was ten the day his father shot himself, and the first lesson he learned about it was that he should never tell a soul because people might reject him. From that day forward, he hid his secret behind a series of masks-the mask of the Eagle Scout, the wise doctor, community and church leader-and feared that one day his mask would be torn off and he would be naked amid his humiliation and self-doubt. This is the story of a man who achieved the outward signs of success but yearned for inner peace. It took Bob Barnes many years and an unexpected turn of events to discover himself and realize the true meaning of his life. Read his story, and you will learn that doctors are human; they are susceptible to emotional pain and doubts about their profession. Read his story, and learn something about yourself." a deeply moving account of someone coming to grips with a painful past." ? Archbishop Desmond Tutu." should prove helpful to many people." ?

Robert Barnes. The gleanings in this volume, a companion to the author's Gleanings from Maryland Newspapers, 1776-1785, also include a few Maryland items found in Pennsylvania newspapers. Marriages, deaths, legal notices, notices concerning the settlement of estates, lost heirs who were sought, and ads of genealogical value are among the items abstracted in this volume. The entries are arranged in alphabetical order and include the name of the newspaper and date of issue from which the information was abstracted. A full name index lists those people "buried" in notices of individuals with different surnames.

In this new and comprehensive collection of genealogies, noted Maryland genealogist Robert Barnes has put together the most authoritative account of the British origins of Maryland families ever published. Families included in this groundbreaking work were chosen by Mr. Barnes based on the following criteria: (a) there was some reason to believe that the families' home parish in Britain had been identified; (b) the families had taken root and left descendants in the New World; and (c) most had arrived before the year 1800. Source materials on which these genealogies are based derive from a combination of Mr. Barnes's own extensive research over the past thirty years and the pioneering work on the origins of Maryland families made by earlier researchers such as Henry F. Waters, Lothrop Withington, Harry Wright Newman, Jack and Marion Kaminkow, and, more recently, Peter Wilson Coldham. 
Some British sources used by Mr. Barnes include printed and manuscript genealogies, county histories and heraldic visitations, works on the peerage and landed gentry, and distinguished periodicals such as The Genealogist, Harleian Society Parish Register Series, and Collectanea Topographica et Genealogica. Clues in Maryland source records were discovered in land records, county and provincial court records, parish registers, probate records, printed and manuscript family histories, and in dozens of well-known periodicals specializing in genealogy and family history. The result is a world-class combination of genealogical source materials that extends the reach of Maryland genealogy well beyond what has been known up until this point. 
Altogether this work contains information on nearly 500 individuals and families whose descendants came to Maryland. Many of the families, such as the Frowicks, Lewkenors, and Wroths, did not come to Maryland themselves but were ancestors through the marriage of daughters of those who did. Some families, such as the Blakistons, Towneleys, and Keenes, sent more than one individual to Maryland. One hundred nineteen of the arrivals (24.1%) had a right to bear a coat of arms; 58 families (11.7%) had a well-proven royal descent, while another 73 (14.6%) had a professional, clerical, or mercantile background. The remaining families comprised indentured servants, convicts (only 6), and a number of individuals of undetermined status. More than half of all settlers came from London and the Home Counties and the northern counties of England. 
In general, families are traced back two or more generations in England and brought forward two or more generations in Maryland. A clear, well-formatted text of more than 500 pages is followed by a 140-page index containing the names of 20,000 individuals--remarkable in themselves in that they can be said to have seeded the population of early Maryland.

Boji is the hero of this enthralling fictional account of the life of an exceptional bottlenose dolphin. Based on current scientific understanding of dolphin capability, the author weaves a fascinating story of the life within the dolphin pod, their interactions with other pods and marine life, and the dangers posed to the dolphin by humanity. 
Alive only because his pregnant mother has been rescued from tuna netting by a chance encounter with scuba divers, Boji is born with a strong imprint of humankind. His mother could not resist checking her rescuer with sonar, which had a strong impact on the unborn Boji. After his birth, Boji is raised in a pod of four adult females and two calves, learning conscious breathing, the language of the dolphins, and how to find food for himself. One day, his mothers pod meets with a pod of male dolphins and Boji meets his father. From Ananda he learns many new skills, including diving to great depths, surfing on waves, breaching, and tail walking. He also learns about the new energy and joy that is communicated during mating. 
As Boji grows older, he comes to challenge himself to do more and go further than the other dolphins in his pod. He learns that by imitating the breathing of a sperm whale he can dive far deeper than any of his friends, or even his father. He begins to spend more and more time away from his pod, venturing into deeper water further away from the shore. The members of his pod do not approve of his adventuring, and one day, when he endangers their existence by his unorthodox behavior, he is given the choice of living life as a simple dolphin supporting the other members of the pod, or going off on his own. If being part of a pod meant he had to give up his greatest joythe quest arising out of his passion for learning and knowingthen his choice was clear. Boji becomes a lone dolphin driven by the love of learning and life, complete within himself, and determined to find his purpose. 
Many exciting and moving adventures follow which serve as a metaphor for human existence. The topics of fear, setting boundaries, growth, learning, challenge, surrender, creativity, expansion, and all that is wonderful and meaningful in life (human and dolphin) are explored. The Blue Dolphin captures the reader from page one and does not let go until the book is reluctantly returned to the shelf.
