Excerpt: Percy Gerald Stewart (18 October 1885 15 October 1931) was an Australian politician. He was an original member of the Victorian Farmers' Union and long a radical campaigner for farming interests. He helped bring down Stanley Bruce's government in 1929, but died soon after. Stewart was born in the Melbourne suburb of Footscray, Victoria and educated at Yarraville State School. He worked in Melbourne and western Victoria, including a period as a shepherd, and then went to sea. He gained a master's certificate, but gave up sailing after contracting malaria. He then travelled in Europe and Canada before returning to Australia in 1909. In 1913, he selected a block of land in the Mallee at Carwarp, but later sold it and moved to another farm at Carwarp West. In 1916 Stewart married Edith Catherine Roberts. During World War I, he volunteered three times for military service but was turned down on health grounds. He worked with the Victorian Department of Agriculture to develop new techniques to improve crops yields in the Mallee. He bought the Mildura Sunraysia Daily in 1924 and was its chairman until his death. Inspired by the Canadian grain growers' associations, Stewart helped found the Victorian Farmers' Union, which eventually developed into the Victorian branch of the Country Party. In September 1916, he was appointed to the VFU's central council and in November 1917 he won the Victorian Legislative Assembly seat of Swan Hill as one of four original VFU members. In parliament, he was highly independent and often voted with the Labor Party. Stewart resigned his state seat pr...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=14698445 ... Read more

Le livre consiste d'articles Wikipedia sur : Glasgow Boys, Douglas Gordon, Frank Quitely, Scottie Wilson, Alexander Hay Ritchie, Glasgow School. Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Les Glasgow Boys (lit. « Garçons de Glasgow ») sont un groupe d'artistes peintres écossais de la ville de Glasgow actif environ entre 1887 et 1895. Au rang des membres du groupe figuraient, entre autres, William York MacGregor, James Guthrie, John Lavery, George Henry et Edward A. Walton. Les Glasgow Boys appartiennent au cadre, plus large, de la Glasgow School. Proche du naturalisme, leur style se plaçait en opposition avec l'académisme alors en vogue. Ils connurent le succès à travers des toiles exposées au Salon de Paris à la fin des années 1880, puis grâce à des expositions dans les grandes villes d'Europe et des États-Unis. Ils tombèrent progressivement dans l'oubli après la Première Guerre mondiale puis furent redécouverts dans les années 1960 avec une exposition majeure à la galerie d'art de Glasgow en 1968. Les Glasgow Boys appartiennent à l'école de Glasgow, qui est un cercle d'artistes et de designers qui a vu le jour en Écosse, à Glasgow, et fut constitué de trois groupes : les Glasgow Boys, les Glasgow Girls et The Four (littéralement, « Les Quatre », aussi appelés Spook School) dont le représentant le plus connu est Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Se développant à partir de la fin des années 1870, il prospéra dans les années 1890 jusqu'à environ 1910, contribuant au mouvement moderne, ainsi qu'à l'Art Nouveau, en particulier dans les domaines de l'architecture, de la décoration et de la peinture. A la fin du siècle, Glasgow étant une ville industrielle prospère ayant connu un boom économique. Cependant, l'essentiel des activités artistiques d'Écosse se tro...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...

Pages: 43. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: William Wilson (ca. 1762 - October 1821) became a figure in the folklore of southeastern and south-central Pennsylvania in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. He is often referred to as The Pennsylvania Hermit. His sister Elizabeth had been condemned for the murder of her children, although many believed her to be innocent of those charges. A pardon for Elizabeth was granted by the state and entrusted to William, but he was unable to deliver it in time to stop the execution. Following his sister's death, William withdrew from society, wandering westward across southeastern Pennsylvania and ultimately living his last 19 years in a cave near Hummelstown. In some sources, William and Elizabeth are referred to as Amos Wilson and Harriot Wilson. However, the historical record leaves no doubt that the Hermit and his sister were named William and Elizabeth. The origin of these "alternate" names has never been fully explained. Many key elements of the Wilsons' saga are documented in the records of the Chester County Courts and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. However, the story quickly became a part of local folklore and was embellished by generations of storytellers. It is often possible to note which elements of the tale are a part of the historical record and which might be considered suspect. However, the story of the Pennsylvania Hermit might best be considered historical fiction, as the familiar tale incorporates elements of both history and fiction, not unlike the popular image of a Johnny Appleseed or Davy Crockett. The following is a sy...http://booksllc.net/?id=6828399 ... Read more

The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.
