Books with title The Two Paths

C-3 has been shattered into pieces. Mountain Two is destroyed. King Frost is dead. Yet the dark is not done. Storm is next on its hit list and Dawn Kingdom too. Both Kingdoms believe the dark is too weak to attack them at the moment... they couldn’t be more wrong. Jack Pascel is buried in the deep dark, the remaining C-3 members have been given grunt jobs in Mountain Five, and Six... Six is gone. The dark is coming like a flood and the LIGHT is unaware of what is coming or their sure doom. But the Master is still on the throne. Six is not dead. As Storm reels from a second massive surprise attack, Captain Six miraculously returns to even the odds. Two may seem to be buried in enemy territory, alone and outgunned but that is an illusion. Despite being exiled from the Cs and stripped of Alliance titles, Jack Pascel still has the Master’s blessing and is still a LIGHT dancer. Separated by an Ocean and on different continents, Six and Two must rally the LIGHT before the dark sweeps it away for a generation.

In The Two Paths, Ruskin connects his theories of art with economic and practical life. The central theme of Ruskin's theories of art was that contented individuals-working within a just society and striving to capture the essence of nature-produce fine and noble art, while corrupt and despondent individuals-working within an unjust society and relying on the tools of the machine age-produce inferior art.

In The Two Paths, Ruskin connects his theories of art with economic and practical life. The central theme of Ruskin's theories of art was that contented individuals-working within a just society and striving to capture the essence of nature-produce fine and noble art, while corrupt and despondent individuals-working within an unjust society and relying on the tools of the machine age-produce inferior art. Ruskin's essays anticipate and complement theoretical approaches by critics such as Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno, and Max Horkheimer. Offering a reconsideration of the rhetorical tradition from a visual perspective, this Prospects in Visual Rhetoric Critical Edition is the only edition of The Two Paths currently in print. The introductions and annotations were designed to facilitate critical discussions of Ruskin's theories of art, his role as a social reformer, his visual rhetoric, and the historical/political contexts of his work. The editor's notes define names and cultural allusions in the text, which also includes all appendices and Ruskin's own introduction and illustrations.

About the Editor Christine Roth is assistant professor of English at the University of Wisconsin - Oshkosh, where she teaches and writes about nineteenth-century British literature and the Pre-Raphaelite movement.

As I passed, last summer, for the first time, through the north of Scotland, it seemed to me that there was a peculiar painfulness in its scenery, caused by the non-manifestation of the powers of human art. I had never travelled in, nor even heard or conceived of such a country before; nor, though I had passed much of my life amidst mountain scenery in the south, was I before aware how much of its charm depended on the little gracefulnesses and tendernesses of human work, which are mingled with the beauty of the Alps, or spared by their desolation. It is true that the art which carves and colours the front of a Swiss cottage is not of any very exalted kind; yet it testifies to the completeness and the delicacy of the faculties of the mountaineer; it is true that the remnants of tower and battlement, which afford footing to the wild vine on the Alpine promontory, form but a small part of the great serration of its rocks; and yet it is just that fragment of their broken outline which gives them their pathetic power, and historical majesty. And this element among the wilds of our own country I found wholly wanting. The Highland cottage is literally a heap of gray stones, choked up, rather than roofed over, with black peat and withered heather; the only approach to an effort at decoration consists in the placing of the clods of protective peat obliquely on its roof, so as to give a diagonal arrangement of lines, looking somewhat as if the surface had been scored over by a gigantic claymore.
