Historical Reading Suggestions My most frequent taste is for renaissance medieval history, though I have read some fabulous novels set both earlier and later. I have always felt a fascination with history http://www.tolkien-online.com/historical-reading-suggestions.html
Extractions: Here are my Historical Reading Suggestions for history buffs and fans of JRR Tolkiens writings. This page may be a bit off-topic from the theme of this site, which is centered around author JRR Tolkien and his writings. But occasionally I feel the need to insert some of my personal opinions into the content. I read a wide variety of books, spanning many genres. I love reading classics and fantasy, but I also find myself reading a fair amount of historical fiction, particularly pre-industrial history (this is certainly some part of Tolkiens appeal, the lack of an urbanized and industrial culture). I have always felt a fascination with history...with the drives and desires of our ancestors; their beliefs and faith; their brutality and tenderness. Again, like the other reading lists on the site, this is not an all-inclusive list. It reflects both my personal tastes and the narrow spectrum of my reading. There are certainly many other great historical novels that I either haven't read or don't have room to list here. As with the other genre-related novels, Ive adopted a star-rating system, with five stars being the best rating a novel can receive.

Extractions: Dummies.com - Making Everything Easier Advertisement See All Topics By Deborah K. Dietsch From the ancient civilizations of the Near East to the native peoples of Central America, pyramid building has been a common architectural design for thousands of years. What is so appealing about the shape of a pyramid? Ancient rulers liked these artificial mountains for their great height (allowing them to commune with the gods) and commanding visual presence over flat river valleys. On a practical level, a pyramid concentrates most of its building on the lower half, so fewer stones have to be hauled to the top. The lower stories act as scaffolding for constructing the upper ones. Tomb and temple, straight-sided and stepped, pyramids assume a variety of functions and forms. The ancient Egyptians built, for their rulers, more than 80 pyramids along the banks of the Nile near modern-day Cairo from 2700 to 1640 B.C. The pyramids were designed according to three forms: Limestone for the pyramids was quarried on the east bank of the Nile, transported on boats, and then dragged from the river to the building site on wooden sleds with runners. No one knows exactly how the pyramids were built, but the heavy blocks were probably dragged up a straight or spiral ramp that grew as the pyramid rose in height. The exterior surfaces were covered with better quality stone and smoothed with copper chisels and stone hammers. The summit of the pyramid was often covered in gold.

(Yes, there was a "German" Renaissance there were renaissances throughout Europe.) These late-fifteenth- and early-sixteenth-century artists produced fascinating work that reflects the culture of a society undergoing a turbulent change before and during the Reformation. Find out more about these exhibitions and the artists whose work is on display in this article by Stan Parchin, guest writer at Shelley Esaak's Art History site at About.com. Daily Features
Extractions: The Boogie Knights wrote and performed songs that covered the unique subjects of the Renaissance, medieval history, Arthurian legends, knights, pirates, dragons, and some other assorted "fantasy" themes. They wrote both original songs and parody lyrics. The band performed these same fascinating songs at local Renaissance festivals and science fiction conventions; as the Boogie Knights used "popular" music and not real, folk tunes written by eleventh-century Byzantine monks. Some people or "folk purists" turned up their noses at their music. It took them only 19 years and an enjoyable twelve-hour drive southward to show their talents and they have finally been accepted as good folkers. >> More Upcoming Schedule Related Performers We don't have any events currently listed for Boogie Knights.

Extractions: When United Airlines workers reported a UFO at O’Hare Airport in November 2006, it was met with the typical denials and hush-up that usually accompany such sightings. But when a related story broke the record for hits at the Chicago Tribune’s website, it was clear that such unexplained objects continued to occupy the minds of fascinated readers. Why, wonders Thomas Bullard, don’t such persistent sightings command more urgent attention from scientists, scholars, and mainstream journalists? The answer, in part, lies in Bullard’s wide-ranging magisterial survey of the mysterious, frustrating, and ever-evolving phenomenon that refuses to go away and our collective efforts to understand it. In his trailblazing book, Bullard views those efforts through the lens of mythmaking, discovering what UFO accounts tell us about ourselves, our beliefs, and the possibility of visitors from beyond.

In his trailblazing book, Bullard views those efforts through the lens of mythmaking, discovering what UFO accounts tell us about ourselves, our beliefs, and the possibility of visitors from beyond. Bullard shows how ongoing grassroots interest in UFOs stems both from actual personal experiences and from a cultural mythology that defines such encounters as somehow “alien” and how it views relentless official denial as a part of conspiracy to hide the truth. He also describes how UFOs have catalyzed the evolution of a new but highly fractured belief system that borrows heavily from the human past and mythic themes and which UFO witnesses and researchers use to make sense of such phenomena and our place in the cosmos.
