 Free Download Karl Barth, "Barth in Conversation: Volume 1, 1959-1962" English | ISBN: 066426400X | 2017 | 328 pages | EPUB | 1216 KB Karl Barth is widely regarded as the most important theologian of the twentieth century, and his observations about the church and its place in a modern world continue to engage religious scholars nearly fifty years after his death. This English translation of the Swiss-published Conversations is a three-volume collection featuring correspondence, articles, interviews, and other short-form writings by Barth from 1959-1962. Among them are dialogues with representatives of the Evangelical Community Movement (1959); conversations with prison chaplains and a question-and-answer session with the Conference of the World Student Christian Federation (1960); discussions with Methodist preachers, Zurich pastors, and Catholic students of theology (1961); press conferences in New York and Chicago (1962); and an interview at the United Nations (1962). Within these pages, scholars and students will find a comprehensive view into Barth's life and thinking about theology and its role in society today.
 Free Download Dan Garner, "Barrow Old Hall and Twiss Green: Investigations of two sub-manorial estate centres within the townships of Bold and Culc" English | ISBN: 1784919683 | 2019 | 120 pages | PDF | 30 MB Excavations were carried out at the moated sites of Barrow Old Hall and Twiss Green, in Warrington, North West England, in the 1980s. Sub-manorial estates were established at these two sites by the fourteenth century, located near the boundaries of their multi-moated townships. Townships with multiple moats were a feature of parts of North West England and may have been the result of medieval assarting and the expansion of agriculture on to fringe or marginal areas, on the boundaries of earlier manors. It also owed much to the unusual tenurial arrangements of the region, whereby lords granted small estates out of their holdings, often to family members, to construct moated homesteads. This report presents the results of the excavations at these two small moated sites, including evidence for possible aisled halls at both sites, as well as a significant assemblage of medieval and early post-medieval pottery. There is also a full account of the finding of the remains of a timber bridge at Twiss Green and its full reconstruction; an illustration of which was previously published in the Shire Archaeology series book on Moated Sites in 1985. The publication of these excavations contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the role and development of moated sites in this part of North West England and completes the outstanding analysis of moated sites excavated in the Warrington area.  Free Download Severo Sarduy, "Barroco and Other Writings " English | ISBN: 1503641139 | 2024 | 200 pages | PDF | 6 MB Severo Sarduy was among the most important figures in twentieth-century Latin American fiction and a major representative of the literary tendency to which he gave the name Neobaroque. While most of Sarduy's literary work is available in English, his theoretical writings have largely remained untranslated. This volume-presenting Sarduy's central theoretical contribution, Barroco (1974), alongside other related works-remedies that oversight. Barroco marks a watershed in postwar thought on the Baroque, both in French post-structuralism and in the Latin American context. Sarduy traces a double history, reading events in the history of science alongside developments in the history of art, architecture, and literature. What emerges is a theory of the Baroque as decentering and displacement, as supplement and excess, a theory capacious enough to account for the old European Baroque as well as its queer, Latin American and global futures. In addition to  Free Download Walter Goffart, "Barbarians, Maps, and Historiography: Studies on the Early Medieval West " English | ISBN: 1138375306 | 2019 | 344 pages | EPUB | 4 MB To complement his first collection of articles (Rome's Fall and After, 1989), Walter Goffart presents here a further set of essays, all but two published between 1988 and 2007. They mainly focus on two types of historiography: early medieval narratives, with special attention to Bede's Historia ecclesiastica; and printed maps designed to portray and teach history, with special attention to the ubiquitous 'map of the barbarian invasions'. The wide-ranging concerns represented extend from the underside of the Life of St Severinus of Noricum, and further evidence for dating Beowulf, to the questions whether the barbarian invasions period was a 'heroic age' and how Charlemagne shaped his own succession. Attention is also paid to the earliest map illustrating the Anglo-Saxon Heptarchy and to the historical vignettes of the Vatican Galleria delle carte geografiche. The collection opens with the appraisal of certain writings dealing with what is now called 'ethnogenesis theory'. To conclude, Professor Goffart adds brief second thoughts about each of these essays and supplies an annotated list of his articles that have not been reprinted.
 Free Download Stephen Bell, "Banking on Growth Models: China's Troubled Pursuit of Financial Reform and Economic Rebalancing " English | ISBN: 1501762524 | 2022 | 306 pages | PDF | 14 MB Banking on Growth Models contends that China's rapid economic rise from the late 1970s to today has been built on and shaped by a highly politicized and inefficient bank-centric financial system. Stephen Bell and Hui Feng argue that if the Chinese growth model drives how key economic sectors interact, no amount of incremental reform can have much impact on the financial system―meaningful reform can stem only from a revised growth model.
 Free Download Bankinformatik 2004: Strategien, Konzepte und Technologien für das Retail-Banking By Oliver Wild (auth.), Professor Dr. Dieter Bartmann (eds.) 2003 | 399 Pages | ISBN: 3322903117 | PDF | 23 MB Professor Dr. Dieter Bartmann ist geschäftsführender Direktor des Instituts für Bankinformatik und Bankstrategie an der Universität Regensburg.  Free Download Bankenrating: Kreditinstitute auf dem Prüfstand By Christoph Pape (auth.), Oliver Everling, Karl-Heinz Goedeckemeyer (eds.) 2004 | 581 Pages | ISBN: 3322912647 | PDF | 16 MB Zwischen der Bewertung einer Bank oder Sparkasse durch eine Ratingagentur und dem von einem Kreditinstitut erstellten Rating besteht ein enger Zusammenhang: Nur wenn das Kreditinstitut die eigenen Risikopotenziale richtig beurteilen und steuern kann, kann es eine positive Beurteilung einer Ratingagentur bekommen. Dies ist von zentraler Bedeutung, denn de facto diktieren Ratingagenturen den Banken, zu welchen Bedingungen sie auf den internationalen Geld- und Kapitalmärkten Finanztitel platzieren und sich Kapital zu beschaffen vermögen und somit ihre volkswirtschaftlichen Funktionen erfüllen können. In dem vorliegenden Sammelband geben renommierte Fachleute einen praxisnahen Einblick in den Prozess des Bankenratings, erklären Voraussetzungen für eine gute Bewertung und erläutern Instrumente und Methoden der Risikoerkennung - und Steuerung. Das Buch gibt darüber hinaus Impulse für die theoretische Diskussion der Rolle von Ratingagenturen.
 Free Download Maria Bogucka, "Baltic Commerce and Urban Society, 1500-1700: Gdansk/Danzig and its Polish Context " English | ISBN: 0860789098 | 2003 | 328 pages | EPUB | 788 KB The great merchant port of Danzig, now Gdansk, is at the centre of this set of studies by Professor Maria Bogucka. Through it passed the greatest part of the trade that linked the West with Poland and the Baltic; from it the commercial culture of the West spread out into the towns of Poland, and with it new currents in religion and urban life, and from there it began to permeate the whole of Polish society. The studies in this volume examine both the social and economic sides of this process, looking at articles of commerce and trends in urbanization, as well as patterns of poor relief and gender relations. The author's aim is to analyse specific aspects of what happened in Poland, while situating these in the broader context of the development of early modern European society.
