This book tells the secret story of the conflict between Greeks and Christians in late antiquity, especially from the fourth to the sixth centuries. It reveals how Christianity, assisted and funded by the Roman Empire, conspired to kill the Greeks whom it had dehumanized, branding them idolaters and pagans. Christianity s genocidal policies against the Greeks and their civilization almost succeeded; the "converted" Greeks were forced to abandon even their name and call themselves Romans from the fifth to the nineteenth centuries. 244 pages with 4 appendices and index.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. Campbell, Jeanette Sloan (illustrator). First Edition. First trade edition, preceded by a limited, numbered & signed edition of 125 copies. Cloth binding, 93 pp. James Wiley Clements, although he would deny it, stands as a remnant of a transitory time in the evolution of our consciousness as a people. This is a man who stood with Douglas MacArthur on the bridge of his flagship at Inchon, Korea, when to be an American was to stand for bravery, strength, and compassion- virtues we seem to have lost sight of now. Born in 1928 and raised by his grandmother on a one-mule farm in rural Alabama, the product of a fundamentalist Christian upbringing, he made the transition into a world larger than any he could have envisioned as a child. It is his (and our) gift that he observed the details of this passage so well and for so long. These poems, his first published book, preserve a perspective both wry and gentle that is almost extinct in American letters. These are immensely appealing poems: sometimes caustic, sometimes pensive, always alive with a vivid undercurrent of humor and compassion. He speaks to the Confederate dead, whose dying world shaped his early days. He speaks to the grace and humility that lives in all of us, urging, in his understated manner, a return to the roots of our national humanity before it withers away entirely. Wiley would say these are the simple poems of a simple man near the end of his days. He'd say he's publishing them because he wants to please a few friends and leave something behind for his grandson to remember him by. Yet, in "Yesterday, or Long Ago" there is a palpable sense of a man bearing witness to his times, appealing to the common denominator that makes us, collectively, the American people. And in this sense, we are all his grandchildren, and we may well be moved by this simple testament of a not-so-simple man. We hear him arguing with us already; "You can't say that. I make no such claims!" And this, of course, is true; Wiley makes no such claims. His poems speak for themselves. About the Author: Born in 1928, James Wiley Clements was raised by his widowed grandmother on a one-mule farm in central Alabama. With only a fourth grade education herself, his grandmother filled many lined tablets with her own poems and taught the little boy to write rhyming verse even before he entered elementary school. He attended a semi-rural high school at the village of Maplesville, Alabama, where his English teacher encouraged him to send poems to Senior Scholastic Magazine, which became his first publishing "credit." When his grandmother died in 1945, Clements was taken in by his uncle Alonzo, a farmer and Nazarene preacher who taught him, among other precepts, "You can't quarrel with a man about what he likes, as long as it's decent." Graduating from high school virtually penniless, he took a competitive examination and won a four-year scholarship to Birmingham-Southern College. He left college before the end of his first year to join the Navy, which sent him to journalism school, and he spent the next 7 years as a journalist and as political affairs assistant in the Pacific. At the outbreak of the Korean war Clements was called to Tokyo, and from thence to Douglas MacArthur's flagship, where he witnessed the first landing in Korea. He mustered out of the Navy in 1952, took his degree from Birmingham Southern in 1954, and eventually entered the nascent HMO business, where he spent his working career. Retiring from his consulting business in 1992, he undertook a study of Japanese language and literature, translating several important Japanese novels little known in the West, two of which had never before been put into English. He also resumed writing poetry in a serious way. In 1999, unhappy with the state of formal verse, Clements recruited two poets, Robert Mezey of Pomona College in Claremont Calif., and Bill Morgan of Illinois State University, to help him create and edit The Susquehanna Quarterly, an online magazine for new traditional poetry. After.

Cloth. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. Illustrated (illustrator). First Edition. First edition. 8vo. Cloth binding, 245 pp. Illustrated with two maps of Ancient Greece in color. This book tells the secret story of the conflict between Greeks and Christians in late antiquity, especially from the fourth to the sixth centuries. It reveals how Christianity, assisted and funded by the Roman Empire, conspired to kill the Greeks whom it had dehumanized, branding them idolaters and pagans. Christianity?s genocidal policies against the Greeks and their civilization almost succeeded; the "converted" Greeks were forced to abandon even their name and call themselves Romans from the fifth to the nineteenth centuries. Moreover, the Christianization of Greece was a catastrophe that precipitated the fall of Rome and engendered the dark ages of Western civilization. The Christians made Greece a cemetery, which quite unintentionally preserved the aftermath of their murder and genocide. At a time of religious conflict between Christianity and Islam, this book highlights the intolerant nature of monotheism. It tells a story never told before, opening the possibility we may get closer to the Greeks, understanding their passion and their achievements. The Greeks resisted Christianity for centuries. Like god Prometheus who gave them fire and the arts, so did the Greeks create our world through the Renaissance, which brought to light the remnants of Greek culture long ago buried by Christianity.

Cloth. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. Reprint. Reprint of the 1940 Revised Edition. 95 pp. Pitch scales in relation to chord structures. Schillinger was the legendary innovator, teacher and composer of music who taught many of the most famous names in American music, including George Gershwin, Glenn Miller and Carmine Coppola. Kaleidohphone is intended as an entirely practical approach to the age-old problem faced by almost all composers and arrangers, the relationship of chords and scales. "Kaleidohphone is intended as an entirely practical approach to the age-old problem faced by almost all composers and arrangers, the relationship of chords and scales. Simple mathematical techniques are applied to the parameters of pitch. Intervals are expressed as numbers representing a quantity of semitone units. For example, a major third is 4 (semitones) and a perfect fifth is 7. Chords are written as number patterns; the major triad is (4+3). Kaleidophone deals with chords consisting of up to five members (pentads). Any chord can be transcribed numerically and linked to its close relatives by a process of reordering; the intervals are arranged in ascending order and then located in Table 1. Table 2, shows chords grouped with their near relatives as members of families. Chords containing semitone intervals are excluded. This smallest interval is treated as arising through a process of melodic elaboration, one that involves the insertion of a 'directional unit' (a kind of leading note) between each of the principle chord tones. For example, in the case of the root and third of the major triad, the interval 4 (a major third) can be bisected in three ways; (1+3) C to D flat;(2+2) C to D; (3+1) C to E flat. By assigning directional units, a scale closely related to the underlying harmony is formed. Each chord yields many alternative scales and these are also listed with their parent chord in Table 1. Schillinger consistently, applies core mathematical procedures to all parameters of music and readers familiar with Schillinger System of Musical Composition or the Mathematical Basis of The Arts will recognise techniques originally applied to matters of rhythm: permutation reveals all the relatives of a particular chord and frequently suggests plausible chord progressions, while subdivision , a process of splitting the original intervals, accounts for the directional units that make up the complex scales. Schillinger's introduction to Kaleidophone is quite extensive and contains a number of illustrations as well as reference to Gershwin's approach to the technique. Kaleidophone describes a potent approach to the composition of melody and harmony. The real spirit of this book is not the promotion of mechanistic composition but a desire to enlighten and expand the reader's knowledge of musical materials. As Schillinger says, "It will open before you a new and fascinating world which is about us, yet remains unseen. It will stimulate your imagination beyond your own expectations because it will provide you with new and alluring experiences." (Jeremy Arden, Oxford 2008). New in new dustjacket.

Cloth. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. Stone, Henry (illustrator). Facsimile Reprint. Rarities from Sturgis Library series. Facsimile reprint. Cloth binding, gilt titles. Reprint of Baltimore:John D. Toy for James Lovegrove, 1823. 24 pp., followed by 89 pp. of tables, 30 plates in color illustrating the best way to use various types and configurations of trees to produce specific ship parts. Peter Guillet's Timber Merchant's Guide is the first in a series of joint publishing ventures between the Sturgis Library of Barnstable, Massachusetts and the Clock and Rose Press called Rarities from the Sturgis Library, which will make available rare and unusual books and manuscripts from the collections of the Library. The Timber Merchant's Guide was originally published in 1823 and is now part of Sturgis's maritime archives. This is an important, very early book, illustrated with thirty hand-colored lithographic plates that show the most economic method of using various tree types to provide the timber needed in the building of a Seventy-Four Gun Ship of the Line. This was the second book printed in America to be illustrated with lithographs, preceded only by Sir James Edward Smith's Grammar of Botany (New York: Seaman, 1822). The plates are by lithographer Henry Stone, the first lithographer to practice in Baltimore. Timber Merchant's Guide is important in the history of art and book publishing in the United States; in military history; the history of wooden shipbuilding; in American history; and in the history of environmental planning. The author begins the book with a rare and impassioned plea for federal government intervention in the conservation of the forests as a national resource. Limited to 200, numbered. New in new dustjacket.

Book First Edition
Hard Cover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. Illustrated (illustrator). First Edition. Harwich Port: Clock & Rose Press, 2006. First edition. 8vo. Cloth binding, 245 pp. Illustrated with two maps of Ancient Greece in color. This book tells the secret story of the conflict between Greeks and Christians in late antiquity, especially from the fourth to the sixth centuries. It reveals how Christianity, assisted and funded by the Roman Empire, conspired to kill the Greeks whom it had dehumanized, branding them idolaters and pagans. Christianity s genocidal policies against the Greeks and their civilization almost succeeded; the "converted" Greeks were forced to abandon even their name and call themselves Romans from the fifth to the nineteenth centuries. Moreover, the Christianization of Greece was a catastrophe that precipitated the fall of Rome and engendered the dark ages of Western civilization. The Christians made Greece a cemetery, which quite unintentionally preserved the aftermath of their murder and genocide. At a time of religious conflict between Christianity and Islam, this book highlights the intolerant nature of monotheism. It tells a story never told before, opening the possibility we may get closer to the Greeks, understanding their passion and their achievements. The Greeks resisted Christianity for centuries. Like god Prometheus who gave them fire and the arts, so did the Greeks create our world through the Renaissance, which brought to light the remnants of Greek culture long ago buried by Christianity. New in new dustjacket. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
