'The best book on the subject I've read. Quite brilliant' Tony
Jordan, creator/writer, Life on Mars, Hustle We all love stories.
But why do we tell them? And why do all stories function in an
eerily similar way? John Yorke, creator of the BBC Writers'
Academy, has brought a vast array of drama to British screens. Here
he takes us on a journey to the heart of storytelling, revealing
that there truly is a unifying shape to narrative forms - one that
echoes the fairytale journey into the woods and, like any great
art, comes from deep within. From ancient myths to big-budget
blockbusters, he gets to the root of the stories that are all
around us, every day. 'Marvellous' Julian Fellowes 'Terrifyingly
clever ... Packed with intelligent argument' Evening Standard 'The
most important book about scriptwriting since William Goldman's
Adventures in the Screen Trade' Peter Bowker, writer, Blackpool,

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Western literary
study flows out of eighteenth-century works by Alexander Pope,
Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann
Gottfried Herder, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others.

"I still love my flag and my country. I'm proud of my military
service and I would do it all over again. I still believe in Duty,
Honor and Country." John York Jr. served his country and his fellow
citizens through a long and honorable career in the armed forces,
and was in the thick of the action in Korea and Vietnam as a
helicopter flyer and senior instructor, and an expert with both
helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft. HIs story is a fine picture of
the friendships and the ups and downs of service life, supported
throughout by a rock-solid marriage. This is the story of our
fighting men (and, later, women). Above all, it is John York's own
story. It will be read with appreciation by both veterans and by
those who would like to experience a part of our contemporary
history through the eyes of an experienced and accomplished
observer.
Many recent studies recognize the feature of reversal in individual
narratives in Luke. What contribution do they make to Luke's
eschatology, and how do they enable us to define the historical
audience of Luke's Gospel? York's study focuses on the numerous
sayings, parables, and narratives in Luke that exhibit a double or
'bi-polar' reversal of fortunes. It concludes that this rhetorical
form is a fundamental element in Luke's understanding of the death
and resurrection of Jesus and the nature of life in the Kingdom
inaugurated by Jesus.
