After the publication of his best-selling book "Power Animals,"
many people inquired about the meaning of spirit animals that were
not contained in that work. In "Animal Spirit Guides, " Dr. Farmer
provides concise, relevant details about the significance of more
than 200 animals that may come to you in physical or symbolic form
as guides and teachers. With each animal listed, you'll find
general meanings of the visitation; practical ways that they can
help you as spirit guides; and how, as your power animal, they
reflect characteristics that you possess. You'll also find a
"whom-to-call-on" section that will tell you which animal spirit
guide to call on for any specific purpose.
‘With God’s help, I, Bede … have assembled these facts about the history of the Church in Britain … from the traditions of our forebears, and from my own personal knowledge’ Written in AD 731, Bede’s Ecclesiastical History of the English People is the first account of Anglo-Saxon England ever written, and remains our single most valuable source for this period. It begins with Julius Caesar’s invasion in the first century BC and goes on to tell of the kings and bishops, monks and nuns who helped to develop government and convert the people to Christianity during these crucial formative years. Relating the deeds of great men and women but also describing landscape, customs and ordinary lives, this is a rich, vivid portrait of an emerging church and nation by the ‘Father of English History’. Leo Sherley-Price’s translation from the Latin brings us an accurate and readable version of Bede’s History. This edition includes Bede’s Letter to Egbert, denouncing false monasteries; and The Death of Bede, an admirable eye-witness account by Cuthbert, monk and later Abbot of Jarrow, both translated by D. H. Farmer.
This volume contains "The Voyage of St Brendan", Bede's "Life of Cuthbert", and Eddius's "Life of Wilfrid". They reflect a period which witnessed the clash between Roman Episcopal Orthodoxy and the Democratic Monasticism that was spreading over Ireland and Northern England.

In this comprehensive history, Ashley D. Farmer examines black
women's political, social, and cultural engagement with Black Power
ideals and organizations. Complicating the assumption that sexism
relegated black women to the margins of the movement, Farmer
demonstrates how female activists fought for more inclusive
understandings of Black Power and social justice by developing new
ideas about black womanhood. This compelling book shows how the new
tropes of womanhood that they created--the "Militant Black
Domestic," the "Revolutionary Black Woman," and the "Third World
Woman," for instance--spurred debate among activists over the
importance of women and gender to Black Power organizing, causing
many of the era's organizations and leaders to critique patriarchy
and support gender equality. Making use of a vast and untapped
array of black women's artwork, political cartoons, manifestos, and
political essays that they produced as members of groups such as
the Black Panther Party and the Congress of African People, Farmer
reveals how black women activists reimagined black womanhood,
challenged sexism, and redefined the meaning of race, gender, and
identity in American life.
