Описание: Modern Cruising Sailboat, The: A Complete Guide to Its Design, Construction, and Outfitting
Thomas Doane's thorough examination of Old and New Testament Biblical myths and legends, drawing parallels to stories belonging to older traditions, such as those of ancient Egypt.
The central purpose of the text is to unite, in a single compendium, analysis of all the Bible myths which bear resemblance to earlier tales. Doane's system is practical; the myths are recounted, examined and compared against their apparent forebears in chronological order. The purpose is to demonstrate that religions share much in common with one another; while their themes and the names of figures change, the character of the tales and legends remains similar or even identical across centuries of lore.
At the outset, Doane acknowledges that very little of this book is entirely original; what is special and unique to this work is its arrangement, and the systematic, readable manner in which the subject is tackled. Each chapter is amply annotated, that the reader may consult both the Bible and surviving texts of other religious works, plus previous scholarly researches into ancient mythologies.
Perhaps most controversially, Doane focuses upon the tale of Christ. His birthplace, the events in which he was involved, the subject and message of his sermons, and his untimely death upon the crucifix are shown to mirror aspects of previous stories concerned prophets or holy men of other religious traditions.

Описание:
Frontier soldier and explorer extraordinaire, Gustavus Cheyney Doane was no stranger to historical events. Between 1863 and 1892, he fought in the Civil War, participated in every major Indian battle in Montana Territory, and led the first scientific reconnaissance into the Yellowstone country--his report on that expedition even contributed to the establishment of Yellowstone National Park. Doane was always close to being at the right place at the right time to secure lasting fame, yet that fame always eluded him, even after his death. Kim Allen Scott rescues Doane from obscurity to tell the tale of an educated and inventive man who strove in vain for recognition throughout his life.
Yellowstone Denied is a psychological portrait of a complex and intriguing individual. During his thirty years in uniform, Doane nearly achieved the celebrity he sought, but twists of fate and, at times, his own questionable behavior denied it in the end. Scott's critical biography now examines the man's accomplishments and failures alike, and traces the frustrated efforts of Doane's widow to see her husband properly enshrined in history.
Yellowstone Denied is also a revealing look at military culture, scientific discovery, and western expansion, and it gives Doane the credit long denied him.

In Pursuit of a Dream
By: Dennis Doane
In Pursuit of A Dream tells the tale of a former young Texas Ranger, Monty Lane. Monty Lane has always had a dream to have his own horse ranch, and he finally has a plan. Dangerous? Oh, yes But it is the only way he knows how to achieve his dream. You see, beyond his dream of raising the finest horses in the country, he wants to marry the prettiest girl in the county, Beth Hase, who owns a very profitable cattle ranch. And to keep folks from saying "He married her for her money," Monty wants to wait until he has enough money all on his own. Unbeknownst to Monty, there is an unknown deranged assailant standing in his way who has pledged that no one can have Beth but himself.
About the Author
Dennis Doane has always loved horses. His first memory of riding a horse was when he was 5 years old when a neighbor let him ride his horse about 100 feet. When his venture was over he excitedly ran home and jumping up and down and told his parents he had just ridden Mr. Walbridge's horse, all by himself. His mother said, "Dennis, what if you had fallen off?" In an excited voice he said, "Don't worry mom, I held on to the clothespin."

Описание: In Bigger Than Life Mary Ann Doane examines how the scalar operations of cinema, especially those of the close-up, disturb and reconfigure the spectator's sense of place, space, and orientation. Doane traces the history of scalar transformations from early cinema to the contemporary use of digital technology. In the early years of cinema, audiences regarded the monumental close-up, particularly of the face, as grotesque and often horrifying, even as it sought to expose a character's interiority through its magnification of detail and expression. Today, large-scale technologies such as IMAX and surround sound strive to dissolve the cinematic frame and invade the spectator's space, “immersing” them in image and sound. The notion of immersion, Doane contends, is symptomatic of a crisis of location in technologically mediated space and a reconceptualization of position, scale, and distance. In this way, cinematic scale and its modes of spatialization and despatialization have shaped the modern subject, interpolating them into the incessant expansion of commodification.
