Books with author Thomas Penny

This Kindle Short is a reader companion guid that explores the symbolism woven into Suzanne Collins’ book, The Hunger Games. Every author approaches symbolism differently in their writing. Sometimes it’s a conscious decision to create symbolism to place the story into a larger context of all other events, such as C.S Lewis’ The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe which is an allegory of Christianity. At other times, an author might not intentionally add any symbolism to his or her writing but is subconsciously influenced by other great stories. It’s those influences that are hidden from the author but obvious to the readers which become the fascinating part of reading literature.

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.Medical theory and practice of the 1700s developed rapidly, as is evidenced by the extensive collection, which includes descriptions of diseases, their conditions, and treatments. Books on science and technology, agriculture, military technology, natural philosophy, even cookbooks, are all contained here.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.
