Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Girl with the Purple Ribbon is an action/adventure story. But it's a love story, and we can always use another love story. It's a story where three childhood friends find themselves on separate sides of the Vietnam War. Coming of age in 1965, they learn that love, honor, and freedom cost more than they expect. In 1965, America fell from grace and into the labyrinth of the Vietnam War. Its sons came by the thousandths to fulfill President John F. Kennedy's pledge: .pay any price to assure the survival of liberty. The children of the greatest generation would fulfill their birthright, and many would join him on the slopes of Arlington National Cemetery. Girl with the Purple Ribbon is the story of Seamus O'Grady and Elijah Bravo, two hay-seed cowboys from the Texas Hill Country who dream of the nobility of battle and anticipate the day when it would be their turn. Seamus is a righteous boy and is driven by sensibilities defined by right and wrong. Elijah Bravo, the wild one, is half Comanche and half Mexican. Schooled in the ways of the tribal shamans his transcendental nature enables him to see a fifth dimension. The boys join the Marine Corps and follow the allusion of saving countries. Eventually, they would learn, there was no light at the end of the tunnel and America did not bleed to help a friend. Regardless, they would stand up for what they believe, yet would struggle to find a reason to persevere amidst the chaos of the Vietnam War. The path they would follow will paint a colorful canvass that stretches from the rolling countryside of the Texas Hill Country, to the battled scares of Hill-861, Khe Sanh, the DMZ, and Hue City. Ofa Hawkins, known as Pretty Girl, the sexy side-kick of Seamus and Elijah is sassy, stubborn, and opinionated. She's a preacher's daughter, a scholar, and driven by Scripture she becomes the iconic symbol of the peace movement and wears a purple ribbon to show solidarity for the Vietnam dead and the futility of the war. The war dissolves their friendship, and with the boys off to war, Ofa attends college and eventually becomes a physician. Seamus had her heart, and she had his, but young love is tenuous. As a celebrated physician and peace activist, Ofa Hawkins gains national and international acclaim, but she falls into an abyss; there's a hole in her heart. Yet, there's something she must do. A fanatical mission Ofa Hawkins, girl with the purple ribbon Of course, she would go to Vietnam, and she'd go for blood. Under the guise of a physician on a medical mission she follows a circuitous path of mystery, intrigue, and playing on the sensibilities of men, she would search for that one reason worthy of death: love. Girl with the Purple Ribbon is a testament to Shakespeare's assertion of the nobility of the human condition: what piece of work is man. Ofa Hawkins, Seamus O'Grady, and Elijah Bravo will answer Shakespeare's quest. Ofa Hawkins, the girl with the purple ribbon, would fight the last battle of the Vietnam War. Would she survive? No warrior, no pacifist, no member of the silent majority walked away from Vietnam unscathed. …

PAP. Zustand: New. New Book. Shipped from UK. Established seller since 2000.

Hardback. Zustand: Good. This work is a guide to the life, thought and activities of Nicholas of Cusa (1401-1464), the great fifteenth-century philosopher, theologian, jurist, author of mystical and ecclesiastical treatises, cardinal and reformer. It is intended not only for advanced scholars, but also for beginners and those simply curious about a man who has been called 'one of the greatest Germans of the fifteenth century' and a 'medieval thinker for the modern age'. The book provides a series of detailed but readable essays on ideas, persons, and places, a work developed over the course of nearly three decades. First, it contains articles on the important events and concepts that affected Cusanus--philosophical, religious, intellectual and political. Then it turns to his precursors and contemporaries, both friendly and critical. These include philosophers, theologians, politicians, and canon lawyers. And third, the book follows the footsteps of the man from Kues and examines various sites where he lived, studied, or visited. Because the author has also visited many of these sites, he can contribute personal observations to enliven the journey. To add to the book's usefulness as a resource and reference tool, each entry is followed by a bibliography containing both recent and older works. The purpose of the volume is to gain a greater appreciation of Cusanus and his legacy by striving for a total view of his thought and experience instead of narrowly focusing on specific philosophical, theological or intellectual ideas, or certain periods of his activities in isolation from other facets of this compelling figure.
