The work’s full title in English is “Annals of the Old Testament, deduced from the first origins of the world, the chronicle of Asiatic and Egyptian matters together produced from the beginning of historical time up to the beginnings of Maccabees.” Ussher created his 1,300-page Annals of the World through close study of The Bible’s Old Testament as well as a wide range of more secular histories. Nevertheless, that is the specific time and date for creation determined, after long and painstaking research, by Irish scholar and church leader James Ussher, author of the 17 th century chronology Annales Veteris Testamenti - otherwise known as Annals of the World. 22, in the year 4004 BCE, God created the universe. Sir Peter LelyĪs shadows lengthened and day turned to night on Saturday, Oct. A portrait of James Ussher (1581 – 1656), author of the Annals of the World.

Meanwhile, in a suburb of London, twenty-one-year-old Lily Monrose has only been married for three weeks. Against her better judgment, she invites him inside. He has no name, no jacket, and no idea how he got there. In a windswept British seaside town, single mom Alice Lake finds a man sitting on the beach outside her house. The tensions between these factions have been building for some time, and the only reason they haven't confronted one another on the battlefield is because Arminger's daughter has fallen into Clan Mackenzie's hands. Even more dangerous, and perhaps Arminger's most powerful weapon of all, is the ruthlessly cunning mind of his consort, Lady Sandra. With his dark fantasies of a neofeudal empire, Arminger has extended his power over much of the Pacific Northwest, spreading fear with his knights, castles, and holy inquisition. Together, they have held the Lord Protector, Norman Arminger-the warlord of Portland-at bay.

These activities “unleashed an intense and seemingly irrepressible culture war” during the volatile 70s and early 80s. ĭuring the 20th century, including during her anti-ERA campaign, Schlafly was able to spread and implement her policies through her personal activities such as radio broadcasts, interviews on public television, circulation of her monthly newsletter, and organization and mobilization of churches and local communities. Schlafly’s policies were in dispute with those of feminists like Betty Friedan for instance, Schlafly argued that the ERA was “a direct threat to the protection that mothers and working women enjoyed in American society”. Schlafly’s social policies, especially those towards women, were largely formed during her crucial years as one of the main leaders of the anti-ERA opposition front. She continues to hold these views and seeks, with the Eagle Forum’s help, to implement them as social policy today. During the 70s, while Schlafly worked against the Equal Rights Amendment and pro-ERA feminists, she formed a definitive stance on women’s rights in direct opposition to feminist views of the time. According to feminist Rosalind Pollack Petchesky, “The New Right,” which includes Phyllis Schlafly and her political group the Eagle Forum, “must be understood as a response to feminist ideas and to their strong impact, in the1970s, on popular consciousness”. Françoise was raised to the nobility as Madame de Maintenon-and, unofficially, "Madame de Maintenant," the lady of the moment. The appointment transformed Françoise's life, but was fatal to the temperamental Athénaïs herself, with the King soon turning his attentions to the graceful governess. After Scarron's death, she enjoyed a merry widowhood in the fashionable Marais district, in the company of the courtesan Ninon de Lenclos and the King's splendid mistress, Athénaïs de Montespan, who made the young widow governess to her brood of illegitimate children. Despite his ailments, Scarron presided over the liveliest and most scandalous literary salon in Paris, and Françoise quickly became its most prized ornament. At fifteen, she was married off to the forty-two-year-old satirical poet Paul Scarron, a former roué now grievously deformed by rheumatism-"a sort of human Z," as he described himself. Yet, armed with beauty, intellect, and shrewd judgment, she was to make her way to the center of power at Versailles, the most opulent and ambitious court in all Europe. A timely pardon and a hopeful Caribbean colonial venture failed to mend the family's fortunes, and Françoise was reduced to begging in the streets.
