Kevin J. Vanhoozer, "The Pastor as Public Theologian: Reclaiming a Lost Vision" English | ISBN: 1540961893 | 2020 | 240 pages | EPUB | 3 MB Top Ministry Book of 2015, The Gospel Coalition (TGC Editors' Picks)  The Official LSAT PrepTest 90: (June 2020 LSAT) By 2020 | 40 Pages | ISBN: 0999658042 | PDF | 1 MB LSAT PrepTest 90 May 2020  The New Third Rome: Readings of a Russian Nationalist Myth By Jardar Østbø 2016 | 270 Pages | ISBN: 3838209001 | PDF | 3 MB Drawing on theories of political myth and concepts of nationalism, Jardar Ostbo analyzes the content and ideological function of the myth of Russia as a Third Rome. Through case studies of four prominent nationalist intellectuals, Ostbo shows how this messianic myth was used to reinvent Russia and its allegedly rightful place in the world after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Though it exists in many radically different versions, the Third Rome myth in general embodies particularism and rabid anti-Westernism. At best, it portrays Russia as an essentially isolationist country. At worst, it casts the country as superior to all other nations, divinely elected to rule the world.

Justin Begley, "The Medical World of Margaret Cavendish: A Critical Edition " English | ISBN: 3030929264 | 2022 | 406 pages | PDF | 4 MB This book is the first transcription and extensive commentary on a fascinating but almost entirely overlooked manuscript compilation of medical recipes and letters, which is held in the University of Nottingham. Collected by the Marquess and Marchioness of Newcastle, William and Margaret Cavendish, during the 1640s and 1650s, this manuscript features letters of advice, recipes, and sundry philosophical and medical reflections by some of the most formidable and influential physicians, philosophers, and courtly scholars of the early seventeenth century. These include "Europe's physician" Theodore de Mayerne, the adventurer and courtier Kenelm Digby, and the natural philosopher, poet, and playwright Margaret Cavendish. While the transcription and accompanying annotations will allow a diverse array of readers to appreciate the manuscript for the first time, the introduction situates the Cavendishes' recipe collecting habits, medical preoccupations, natural philosophical views, and politics within their social, cultural, and philosophical contexts, and draws out some of the most significant implications of this important document.

The Joy of Eating : A Guide to Food in Modern Pop Culture by Jane K. Glenn English | 2022 | ISBN: 1440862095 | 430 Pages | True PDF | 48 MB  The Institutional Framework of Russian Serfdom By Tracy Dennison 2011 | 254 Pages | ISBN: 0521194482 | PDF | 2 MB Russian rural history has long been based on a 'Peasant Myth', originating with nineteenth-century Romantics and still accepted by many historians today. In this book, Tracy Dennison shows how Russian society looked from below, and finds nothing like the collective, redistributive and market-averse behaviour often attributed to Russian peasants. On the contrary, the Russian rural population was as integrated into regional and even national markets as many of its west European counterparts. Serfdom was a loose garment that enabled different landlords to shape economic institutions, especially property rights, in widely diverse ways. Highly coercive and backward regimes on some landlords' estates existed side-by-side with surprisingly liberal approximations to a rule of law. This book paints a vivid and colourful picture of the everyday reality of rural Russia before the 1861 abolition of serfdom.  The Idea of Russia: The Life and Work of Dmitry Likhachev By Vladislav M. Zubok 2017 | 240 Pages | ISBN: 1784537276 | PDF | 7 MB Dmitry Likhachev (1906-1999) was one of the most prominent Russian intellectuals of the twentieth century. His life spanned virtually the entire century - a tumultuous period which saw Russia move from Tsarist rule under Nicholas II via the Russian Revolution and Civil War into seven decades of communism followed by Gorbachev's Perestroika and the rise of Putin. In 1928, shortly after completing his university education, Likhachev was arrested, charged with counter-revolutionary ideas and imprisoned in the Gulag, where he spent the next five years. Returning to a career in academia, specialising in Old Russian literature, Likhachev played a crucial role in the cultural life of twentieth-century Russia, campaigning for the protection of important cultural sites and historic monuments. He also founded museums dedicated to great Russian writers including Dostoevsky, Pushkin and Pasternak. In this, the first biography of Likhachev to appear in English, Vladislav Zubok provides a thoroughly-researched account of one of Russia's most extraordinary and influential public figures. |
