Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Children's Jewish Advocate, 1858, Vol. 4 But what is the meaning of the word Jubilee Does it serve to show that children or grown-up people are right in making use of it in this manner? This it certainly does. The very meaning of the word shows that tokens of joy were to be given, for it was a time of joy. Shouts of praise were to be heard far and wide, to show that the Jubilee was come. But again it may be asked, from whence did the Jubilee come Where do we first read of it, and in the history of what people do we find it? All who know anything of the Bible will have a ready answer. It is to be found in the Bible, which comes from the Jews. It is a part of the history of that nation. It was to be kept by them according to the law of God. The Jubilee from first to last is Jewish. Whatever light and comfort and joy it brings, comes from the Jews. Another question will now present itself. How was this Jubilee to be kept, and what was to be done when the time of Jubilee arrived? If we refer to Leviticus xxv., we shall find all the points brought together. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download When the Great Abyss Opened PDF Format Full Free by J. David Pleins and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2003 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Noah's flood is one of the best-loved and most often retold biblical tales, the inspiration for numerous children's books and toys, novels, and even films. Whether as allusion, archetype, or literal presence--the American landscape is peppered with "recreations" of the ark--the story of Noah's animals and the ark resonates throughout American culture and the world. While most think of Noah's ark as a dramatic myth, others are consumed by the quest for geological and archeological proof that the flood really occurred. Persistent rumors of a large vessel on the mountain of Ararat in Turkey, for instance, have led many pilgrims and explorers over the centuries to visit that fabled peak. Recent finds suggest that there may have been a catastrophic flood on the shores of the Black Sea some 7,600 years ago. Is this then the reality behind the ancient tale of Noah? More to the point, why does it matter? What does the story of the Flood mean to us and why does it so stir the collective imagination? When the Great Abyss Opened examines the history of our attempts to understand the Flood, from medieval Jewish and Christian speculation about the physical details of the ark to contemporary efforts to link it to scientific findings. Unraveling the mythical dimensions of the parallel Mesopotamian flood stories and their deeper social and psychological significance, J. David Pleins also considers the story's positive uses in theology and moral instruction. Noah's tale, however, has also been invoked as a means of justifying exclusion, racism, and anti-homosexual views. Pro-slavery advocates, for example, used the story of Noah's Curse on Ham's son Canaan to rationalize the enslavement of Africans. Throughout this expansive and lively book, Pleins sheds new light on our continuing attempts to understand this ancient primal myth. Noah's Flood, he contends, offers a unique case study that illuminates the timeless and timely question of how fact and faith relate.

Download The American Cookbook PDF Format Full Free by Carol Fisher and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2006-02-13 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When colonists arrived in America, their knowledge of cooking sometimes had little in common with available ingredients. Eventually they adapted recipes from the old country for use with native foods and cooking methods. The resulting infusion nourished an enthusiasm for cookbooks, as cooks from all walks of life recorded and exchanged old and new recipes. This book serves up the American cookbook as a tasty sampler of history, geography and culture, revealing the influence of political events (e.g. wartime rationing), social movements (temperance), and technological change (new packaging and cooking methods). Skimming antiquity, the author whisks us through history to the first American cookbook, published by Amelia Simmons in 1796. Next she examines the cookbook revolution of the 1800s that was sparked by vigilant interest in household management and fueled by professionals and cooking schools. She heralds the charity and community cookbook, which has roots in the Civil War and thrives today. Regional and ethnic cookbooks merit discussion in their own chapter, which is followed by consideration of themes, product promotion, special collections and unusual formats. Cookbook aficionados will find familiar titles in the final chapter, "Most Influential Cookbooks of the Twentieth Century." Multiple bibliographies list notable American cookbooks, product cookbooks and booklets, alternative format cookbooks, and culinary books (books about food), as well as the author's research sources. A selected list of libraries and archives with significant cookbook and culinary collections is included, and a unique appendix reprints selected pie recipes from American cookbooks published from 1796 through 2000, demonstrating an evolving recipe format. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.
