 New Perspectives in American Jewish History: A Documentary Tribute to Jonathan D. Sarna by Mark A. Raider, Gary Phillip Zola English | December 22, 2021 | ISBN: 1684580528, 1684580536 | 504 pages | PDF | 6 MB Widely regarded as today's foremost American Jewish historian, Jonathan D. Sarna had a huge impact on the academy. Sarna's influence is perhaps nowhere more apparent than among his former doctoral students-a veritable "Sarna diaspora" of over three dozen active scholars around the world. Both a tribute to Sarna and an important collection in its own right, New Perspectives in American Jewish History was compiled by Sarna's former students and presents previously unpublished, neglected, or rarely seen historical documents and images that illuminate the breadth, diversity, and dynamism of the American Jewish experience. Beginning with the earliest known Jewish divorce in circum-Atlantic history (1774) and concluding with a Black Lives Matter Haggadah supplement (2019), the collection travels across time and space to shed light on intriguing and generative moments that span the varieties of Jewish experience in the American setting from the colonial era to the present. The materials underscore the interrelationship of myriad themes including ritual observance, Jewish-Christian relations, civil rights, Zionism and Israel, and immigration. While not intended as a comprehensive treatment of American Jewish history, the collection offers a chronological road map of American Jewry's evolving self-understanding and encounter with America over the course of four centuries. A brief prefatory note sets up the analytic context of each document and helps to unpack and explore its significance. The capacious and multifaceted quality of the American Jewish experience is further amplified here by a sampling of artistic texts such as photographs, advertisements, cartoons, and more.  Neuropsychology of Schizophrenia: An Introduction for Psychotherapists English | 2022 | ASIN: B09W12YH8J | 45 Pages | PDF | 0.5 MB This essential discusses schizophrenia in a brief, concise manner in light of its developmental neurobiological pathology. It primarily addresses current neuropsychological findings on cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia as well as common neuropsychological models to explain the complex and heterogeneous psychopathology. A primary concern of the book is to clarify the extent to which these findings can play a role in the treatment of schizophrenia with regard to their use in psychoeducation as well as the design of (meta)cognitive therapy programs.
 Nick Crossley, "Networks of sound, style and subversion: The punk and post-punk worlds of Manchester, London, Liverpool and Sheffield, 1" English | ISBN: 071908864X | 2015 | 288 pages | PDF | 8 MB This book examines the birth of punk in the UK and its transformation, within a short period of time, into post-punk. Deploying innovative concepts of 'critical mass', 'social networks' and 'music worlds', and using sophisticated techniques of 'social network analysis', it teases out the events and mechanisms involved in punk's 'micro-mobilisation', its diffusion across the UK and its transformation in certain city-based strongholds into a variety of interlocking post-punk forms. Nick Crossley offers a detailed review of prior work in this area, a rich exploration of new empirical data and a highly innovative and robust approach to the study of 'music worlds'.  Andy Lavender, "Neoliberalism, Theatre and Performance " English | ISBN: 0367190435 | 2021 | 124 pages | PDF | 1320 KB Neoliberalism, Theatre and Performance tackles one of the most slippery but significant topics in culture and politics. Neoliberalism is defined by the contributors as a political-economic system, and the ideas and assumptions (individualism, market forces and globalisation) that it promotes are consequently examined.

It examines, from a historical perspective - the process of hybridisation  Shellie Pomeroy, "Natural Tables: Nature-Inspired Tablescapes for Memorable Gatherings" English | ISBN: 1797210165 | 2022 | EPUB | 334 pages | 322 MB Learn to create dazzling tablescapes inspired by nature's beauty with this essential guide to styling stunning tablescapes for any occasion.  , "Natural Law and Evangelical Political Thought" English | ISBN: 0739173227 | 2012 | 304 pages | EPUB | 428 KB Natural law has long been a cornerstone of Christian political thought, providing moral norms that ground law in a shareable account of human goods and obligations. Despite this history, twentieth and twenty-first-century evangelicals have proved quite reticent to embrace natural law, casting it as a relic of scholastic Roman Catholicism that underestimates the import of scripture and the division between Christians and non-Christians. As recent critics have noted, this reluctance has posed significant problems for the coherence and completeness of evangelical political reflections. Responding to evangelically-minded thinkers' increasing calls for a re-engagement with natural law, this volume explores the problems and prospects attending evangelical rapprochement with natural law. Many of the chapters are optimistic about an evangelical re-appropriation of natural law, but note ways in which evangelical commitments might lend distinctive shape to this engagement.  John A.
