Jackson The history of The Salvation Army is incredibly rich. Those who spend time researching and writing it are keenly aware of this truth. Those who choose to read books, articles and thoughtful studies on The Salvation Army’s past come to understand the depth and importance of the subject. The history of this organization maintains a uniqueness that separates this movement from oth- er religious organizations, churches and nonprofits. We are similar in some respects, but our uniqueness is what tells the story that most readers of our past want to know and profit from. Just prior to the release of Maud, Emma, Evangeline: America’s Love Affair with the 3 Booth Women, I spent several hours interviewing Dr. R. Gordon Moyles for a promotional video about the book. I was taken by Moyles’ pas- sion for the subject of his latest work, and his lifelong study of The Salvation Army.

They appear as foods, poisons, diseases, decorations, dyes or tinder, and even in insults, compliments, graffiti and video games. These and other impacts of fungi on folkways are here concisely reviewed under categories likely to interest professional and amateur mycologists and accessible to the lay reader. The evolution of popular perceptions of fungi is sketched from Shakespearean times through contemporary European and American cultures. Provided are specific instances of how different cultures utilized or avoided fungi, responded to fungal diseases of crops or humans, or viewed fungi in the context of popular belief, superstition or religion.

Cyrillic has been added to the first occurrence of a simplified Russian pronunciation of a word. For example togrib , cyrillic is added in parenthesis - (гриб). 2. In chapter I. Mushrooms and the Russians, where authors mention about folk names for mushrooms, actual Latin name has been found and inserted into square brackets (but beside Appendix II where authors do this by themselves) for most of this names. Thus the name originally presented as volnushki will be volnushki (волнушки) [Lactarius torminosus]. 3. Footnotes are numbered continuously, contrary to original version where footnote number starts from 1 on each page. 4. Latin names have been italicized. 5. Some latin synonyms are actuallized beneath plates, eg. Psalliota campestris Fr. ex L. has in description additionaly [Agaricus campestris (Bull.)]. 6. Polish official names for mushrooms have been added beneath plates. 7. Couple of notes have been added and labeled as Note to this edition of the book on Psilosophy. 8.

The most prosaic reader of the history must be impressed with its romantic elements, and these have been brought into special prominence by the various Centenary celebrations all over the country. For the facts embodied in this volume I have freely availed myself of what has been written, not only by those who have taken in hand to set forth in order the history of, the Church whose origin is inseparably associated with Mow Cop, but by the large number of writers who have happily been led during these Centenary years to gather up the facts respecting a given Circuit or District. Many of these local Souvenirs are of deep interest and of considerable historical value. But my first and warmest thanks are due to the Rev.

  • Adieu Saïgon, Au Revoir Hanoï: the 1943 Vacation Diary of Claudie Beaucarnot English Translation
    Adieu Saïgon, Au Revoir Hanoï: The 1943 Vacation Diary of Claudie Beaucarnot English Translation Preface Claudie Beaucarnot (born Beaucarnot) Marmagne, Mars 1990 Vacation, 1943, or Hanoi to Saigon by the Long Way ‘Round To be nice to a friend from the Lycée Albert Sarraut, who wanted to gather together documents in order to assemble an account of the everyday life of the French in Indochina up to 1945, I rummaged through my loose papers saved in a box.1 There, I found these notes, written from day to day in three small notebooks in the car that carried us for the 1943 vacation. I had forgotten them for thirty years! It seemed to me, after reading them again, that they give a small glimpse of the life we lived at the time. I could not have believed that two years after this simple account of our world - of the French of Indochina - would collapse on 9 March 1945.2 1 Madame Beaucarnot deposited a typewritten transcription of her diary with Yvonne Fontain-Biggi, a friend who wanted to collect memoirs of time spent in Indochina. In turn, Ms. Fontain-Biggi deposited these papers at the Archives Nationales, Section Outre-Mer, in Aix-en-Provence. The diary is held at code 67 APOM, d. 2. “Fonds Biggi” The Lycée Albert Sarraut, in Hanoi, was the elite high school for northern Indochina. The Lycée Chasseloup-Laubat, in Saigon, was the equivalent for southern Indochina. 2 In June 1940, when France fell to the German Army, the Germans permitted the creation of residual, pro-fascist state in the southern two-fifths of France known officially as État français and colloquially as Vichy France because its leaders established their capital in the resort town of Vichy.
