E-book The Garden as Architechture : Form and Spirit in the Gardens of Japan,…

Mount Miwa in Yamato (present-day Nara Prefecture) is a sacred mountain, thought to be manifested spirit according to the indigenous animistic religious beliefs of Shinto. Pre-Nata-period Shinto (pre-645) focused on nature worship in sacred sites-roped-off clearings surrounding unusually-shaped mountains, trees, rocks, waterfalls and other natural phenomena. The present Omiwa Shrine at the base…

E-book Let Them Eat Cake : Marketing Luxury to the Masses as Well as The Classes

Wal-Mart seems to be taking over the world! Or at least that part of the world that controls retailing in 21st-century America. With its sales over $256 billion in fiscal 2004, Wal-Mart is within striking distance of dominating a 10 percent share of the total $2.9 trillion U.S. retail market, excluding motor vehicles and parts. When it reaches this pinnacle, and I suspect it will unless the gov…

E-book Falk

Several of us, all more or less connected with the sea, were dining in a small river-hostelry not more than thirty miles from London, and less than twenty from that shallow and dangerous puddle to which our coasting men give the grandiose name of "German Ocean." And through the wide windows we had a view of the Thames; an enfilading view down the Lower Hope Reach. But the dinner was execr…

E-book The mirror of the sea

"And shippes by the brinke comen and gon, And in swich forme endure a day or two." The Frankeleyn's Tale. Landfall and Departure mark the rhythmical swing of a seaman's life and of a ship's career. From land to land is the most concise definition of a ship's earthly fate. A "Departure" is not what a vain people of landsmen may think. The term "Landfall" is more easily understood; you fal…

E-book The secret agent

Mr Verloc, going out in the morning, left his shop nominally in charge of his brother-in-law. It could be done, because there was very little business at any time, and practically none at all before the evening. Mr Verloc cared but little about his ostensible business. And, moreover, his wife was in charge of his brother-in-law. The shop was small, and so was the house. It was one of thos…

E-book Typhoon

CAPTAIN MACWHIRR, of the steamer Nan-Shan, had a physiognomy that, in the order of material appearances, was the exact counterpart of his mind: it presented no marked characteristics of firmness or stupidity; it had no pronounced characteristics whatever; it was simply ordinary, irresponsive, and unruffled. The only thing his aspect might have been said to suggest, at times, was bashfulne…

E-book Some reminiscences

As a general rule we do not want much encouragement to talk about ourselves; yet this little book is the result of a friendly suggestion, and even of a little friendly pressure. I defended myself with some spirit; but, with characteristic tenacity, the friendly voice insisted: "You know, you really must." It was not an argument, but I submitted at once. If one must!. You perceive the for…

E-book Heart of darkness

The Nellie, a cruising yawl, swung to her anchor without a flutter of the sails, and was at rest. The flood had made, the wind was nearly calm, and being bound down the river, the only thing for it was to come to and wait for the turn of the tide. The sea-reach of the Thames stretched before us like the beginning of an interminable waterway. In the offing the sea and the sky were welded t…
