The Lincoln-Douglas Debates
Des Plaines: Edwin M. Knowles China Company Part of The Bradford Exchange 1987. Limited Edition Number 3355A. Other collectible plate with original box. Very good/Accompanying box has some wear but is in good condition. This is the third issue in the Lincoln Man of America series by one of America's foremost historical artists Mort Kunslter. This 8.5 inch diameter plate with a striking colorful image was produced by the Edwin M. Knowles China Company in an edition limited to 150 firing days. Comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and descriptive brochure. Morton Künstler born August 28 1927 is known for his paintings of historical events especially of the American Civil War. Künstler in 1965 was commissioned by National Geographic to create what became his first historic painting. He also created posters for movies such as The Poseidon Adventure and The Taking of Pelham One Two Three. By the 1970s he was painting covers for Newsweek and other magazines with much of his work during being in advertising art. In 1977 his first major gallery exhibition brought new attention to his talents as a historical artist. By the 1980s he was acclaimed as America's foremost Civil War artist and would eventually create over 350 Civil War paintings alone. Besides his Civil War paintings he created historical art of the American Revolution through the Korean and Vietnam wars along with paintings of World War II. His artistic output places him at the forefront of contemporary historical realism. NASA made him their official artist for the Space Shuttle Columbia. In 1993 a one-hour television special Images of the Civil War - The Paintings of Mort Künstler was shown on the A&E TV network. He has received numerous honors and awards and at least nine books are dedicated to featuring his artwork. Edwin M. Knowles was the son of Isaac Watt Knowles a founder and partner in Knowles Taylor and Knowles Company. He was educated at Allegheny College and Harvard University. In 1890 Knowles assumed the management of the Potters Supply Company located in East Liverpool Ohio. In 1900 Edwin M. Knowles founded the Edwin M. Knowles China Company. The company’s offices were located in East Liverpool Ohio. The plant was in Chester West Virginia. Knowles’ goal was to manufacture the highest quality semi-vitreous china ware. Products included dinnerware kitchenware specialties and toilet wares. In 1913 the company opened a new plant in Newell West Virginia. In the early 1930s Knowles employed over 700 workers. The firm consolidated production at its Newell facility selling the Chester plant to Harker Pottery. In 1938 Vincent Broomhall designed a line of kitchen accessories that were available in seven different colors. Knowles continued to introduce new lines including Potomac 1941 Twin Oaks 1953-1954 Four Seasons 1959 and Street Song 1959. Each line featured dozens of patterns. Edward M. Knowles died on February 9 1941. Frederick Blackmore Lawrence became president. When Lawrence died in 1948 William A. Harris Jr. succeeded him. He remained as president until Knowles ceased operations in 1962. In the 1970s the Bradford Exchange bought the rights to the Knowles name and used the name for marketing purposes as a back stamp on some collector/limited edition plates. The Bradford Exchange is an American producer and seller of collectible goods jewelry sports memorabilia and apparel. Now part of the Bradford Group it was founded in 1973 as The Bradford Gallery of Collector's Plates by J. Roderick MacArthur. The company created its first live price quotation market in 1983 but increasingly turned to creating new lines of collectibles rather than just facilitating exchanges between collectors. The Bradford Group of companies headquartered in Niles Illinois a suburb of Chicago includes many groups of collectibles including Ardleigh Elliott Ashton-Drake Galleries Bradford Editions Bradford Exchange Hamilton Authenticated the Hamilton Collection and Hawthorne Village. Internationally they have a presence in Canada Australia New Zealand Germany Switzerland Austria France Italy Sweden and the Netherlands. Edwin M.

La morte e la vita dopo la morte «morire è come nascere»
br. Nel campo della ricerca sulla morte, la dottoressa Elizabeth Kübler-Ross si è meritatamente conquistata grande fama. Le innumerevoli ore che trascorse accanto ai pazienti allo stadio terminale le consentirono di fare scoperte in seguito confermate da altri ricercatori, ormai patrimonio acquisito di questo campo di studio. Elizabeth Kübler-Ross non esitò a mettere a repentaglio il suo buon nome di scienziata affermando ciò che le esperienze dei morenti le avevano insegnato: la morte in realtà non esiste, "è un passaggio a un altro stato di coscienza, in cui si continua a crescere psichicamente e spiritualmente". "Per tanti secoli", disse, "si è cercato di convincere la gente a credere alle cose ultraterrene. Per me non è più questione di credere, ma di sapere: la morte è soltanto il passaggio ad una casa più bella!".

La morte è di vitale importanza. Riflessioni sul passaggio dalla vita alla vita dopo la morte
ill., br. L'autrice, laureata in medicina e specializzata in psichiatria, narra le sue esperienze a contatto con i malati terminali nelle corsie degli ospedali, restituendoci intatti gli ultimi istanti dei pazienti: bambini, adulti, anziani; ci illustra gli stati d'animo dei parenti al capezzale degli ammalati, aiutandoci a comprendere con quanta grazia e pace suprema lo spirito umano si prepara ad affrontare la vita eterna.

Kübler-Ross Elisabeth
Sulla vita dopo la morte
br. Che cos'è la morte? È la fine di tutto o piuttosto un nuovo inizio? E qual è la relazione tra la vita e la morte? A queste domande cerca di rispondere Elisabeth Kübler-Ross nei quattro saggi che compongono questo libro. Pioniera dell'Hospice Movement, figura di spicco della tanatologia contemporanea, Kübler-Ross, oltre ad aver studiato il processo psicologico vissuto dal morente, elaborando il modello, divenuto famoso, delle cinque fasi del morire, è stata una dei primi scienziati a occuparsi delle NDE (dall'inglese Near Death Experience), le esperienze di pre-morte. Basandosi sulle testimonianze di coloro che sono «tornati» e su esperienze analoghe che lei stessa ha vissuto, l'autrice ci presenta la sua concezione della morte: una realtà radicale con cui dobbiamo fare i conti se vogliamo dare un senso alla nostra vita, ma anche un momento di passaggio, una porta verso un'esistenza infinitamente più completa e ricca. Prefazione di Myss Caroline.

Kübler-Ross Elisabeth; Hardo T. (cur.)
Vivi ora e oltre la morte
br. Un nuovo libro della dottoressa svizzera Elizabeth Kübler-Ross, una delle psichiatre più conosciute del nostro tempo, fondatrice della moderna ricerca sulla morte, detta anche psicotanatologia o death studies. La sua definizione delle cinque fasi del morire, oggi riconosciuta a livello scientifico, è stata una vera rivoluzione nella ricerca sulla morte. In quest'opera l'autrice ci rivela la risposta alla domanda di gran lunga più importante sulla vita e sulla morte: come possiamo preparare la nostra vita attuale per riconciliarci con la morte? La stessa Kübler-Ross diceva: "la Terra è la scuola della vita, dobbiamo vivere questa esistenza fisica per imparare le cose che non possiamo imparare dall'altra parte. Perché di là sperimenteremo solo l'amore incondizionato". Prefazione di Rüdiger Dahlke.

Lezioni di vita. Ciò che la morte e il morire ci insegnano sulla vita e sul vivere
br. È davvero questo il modo in cui voglio vivere la mia vita? Questa è la domanda centrale, l'unica veramente essenziale per riconoscere gli aspetti più autentici della nostra esistenza, quelli che conferiscono un senso alla nostra permanenza nel mondo. In un'esposizione accessibile e coinvolgente e attraverso l'esame di situazioni da loro vissute, i due autori ci comunicano le idee e le conclusioni a cui sono arrivati dopo anni di lavoro a fianco dei malati terminali. La vita è un percorso di crescita interiore in cui lentamente, anche attraverso esperienze traumatiche, facciamo affiorare la parte migliore di noi. Per percorrerlo è però necessario un atteggiamento di apertura nei confronti delle lezioni che la vita ci offre sull'amore, la paura, la perdita e il lutto, il tempo, le relazioni con gli altri. Tra tutte, quella sulla morte è forse la più importante, perché se vogliamo crescere dobbiamo accettare la nostra mortalità come un tratto essenziale del nostro essere, che dà spessore e significato alla nostra esistenza.

Morire felici? Lasciare la vita senza paura
ril. "Per me morire felici non significa morire senza malinconia né dolore, bensì andarsene consensualmente, accompagnati da una profonda soddisfazione e dalla pace interiore. Del resto, è questo il significato della parola greca eu-thanasia: 'morte felice', 'buona', 'giusta', 'lieve', 'bella'." In queste pagine uno tra i massimi teologi cattolici del nostro tempo, il grande ribelle Hans Küng, prende posizione su un argomento delicato e a lungo tabù, ribadendo con grande forza la sua posizione: il diritto di decidere quando morire non è in contraddizione con la fede e con il rispetto della vita perché il Dio cristiano è un Dio caritatevole e misericordioso, non un crudele tiranno che vuole per i suoi figli la sofferenza fine a se stessa. Le parole di Küng - da tempo membro dell'associazione elvetica "Exit", forse la più nota organizzazione al mondo che accompagna i malati inguaribili che desiderano essere aiutati a morire - smuovono definitivamente le acque del grande dibattito, perché per la prima volta un teologo cattolico si esprime apertamente a favore dell'eutanasia. La malattia del fratello Georg, ucciso a ventitré anni anni da un tumore cerebrale, i casi di premorte studiati dalla dottoressa Kübler-Ross e la demenza del collega e amico Walter Jens sono state le esperienze chiave che lo hanno portato alla convinzione che morire dignitosamente sia un diritto inalienabile.
