Troubling Adoption: Heartbreak and Hope English | 29 Jan. 2026 | ASIN: B0DYP4PDY5 | 222 pages | EPUB (True) | 4.84 MB The permanent removal of children from their families of origin to place with another family for adoption is coming under greater critical scrutiny across the world. Policy debates and media discourse focus on the benefits of providing children with stable homes but can obscure the emotional complexities and lived realities of adoption for all those involved. In Troubling Adoption, Cath Lambert challenges readers to engage with alternative narratives, shifting away from dominant portrayals of adoption as an overwhelmingly positive experience to consider the complexities, contradictions and profound griefs that are often involved. Drawing on original collaborative research with creative and social work professionals, as well as parents whose children have been taken from them for adoption, Lambert reveals how trauma-informed and creative approaches can articulate emotional and embodied knowledges that are often left unspoken or unheard. Blending critique with fresh empirical insight, the book makes a powerful case for change in adoption policy and practice, offering ways forward for more compassionate, inclusive and reflective child welfare practices.

Triumph und Tragik des Erasmus von Rotterdam Deutsch | January 1, 2024 | ISBN: None | 285 Seiten | EPUB (True) | 644.54 KB In "Triumph und Tragik des Erasmus von Rotterdam" untersucht Stefan Zweig das Leben und Wirken des Humanisten Erasmus, dessen Ideen und Schriften im Spannungsfeld zwischen Glauben und Vernunft stehen. Zweig beleuchtet nicht nur die historischen und gesellschaftlichen Umstände der Renaissance, sondern analysiert auch die inneren Konflikte des Protagonisten, der sich zwischen seinem Streben nach Verständigung und den vorherrschenden dogmatischen Strömungen hin- und hergerissen sieht. Der literarische Stil Zweigs besticht durch eine prägnante und expressive Sprache, die dem Leser sowohl die emotionale als auch die intellektuelle Tiefe der geschilderten Ereignisse näherbringt. Stefan Zweig, ein österreichischer Schriftsteller, ist bekannt für seine biografischen Werke, in denen er historische Persönlichkeiten mit psychologischem Feingefühl und historischem Bewusstsein porträtiert. Geboren 1881 und tief geprägt von den politischen Umwälzungen des 20. Jahrhunderts, bietet Zweigs Betrachtung des Erasmus nicht nur einen Einblick in das Leben eines verehrten Gelehrten, sondern reflektiert auch seine eigenen Erfahrungen mit Exil und kultureller Zerrissenheit. Dieses Buch ist nicht nur eine Biografie, sondern auch ein zeitloses Plädoyer für Humanismus und Toleranz. Leser, die sich für die Verbindung von Geschichte, Philosophie und Literatur interessieren, sollten sich dieses eindringliche Werk nicht entgehen lassen. Zweigs meisterhafte Erzählweise zieht den Leser in eine Welt voller Erkenntnisse und Herausforderungen, die bis heute nachhallen.  Trinity in Dialogue with Muslims by Mark Beaumont English | March 14, 2024 | ISBN: 1917059094 | 333 pages | PDF | 2.93 Mb The Christian belief in the Trinitarian nature of God has come under criticism from Muslims who are convinced that the oneness of God is compromised by the Christian assertion that God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Throughout nearly fourteen hundred years of relations between Muslims and Christians, Muslims have challenged Christians to agree with them that God is one. Christians have responded by saying that they hold to the oneness of God who reveals himself in threeness without sacrificing his oneness. This book examines Christian attempts to present the Trinity to Muslims along with Muslim reactions to these efforts. Part One deals with communication by Middle Eastern Christians with Muslims after the Arab armies took over the Middle East in the seventh century up to the thirteenth century. Part Two studies the writing of mainly Western Christians who began to take dialogue with Muslims seriously from the nineteenth century until today. The reader will be able to see Christian presentations alongside Muslim responses to gain a comprehensive view of dialogue on the nature of God between Muslims and Christians.  Trilateralism and Beyond: Great Power Politics and the Korean Security Dilemma During and After the Cold War (New Studies in U.S. Foreign Relations) English | 15 Oct. 2011 | ASIN: B00FZZI7BY | 224 pages | EPUB (True) | 810.44 KB The fall of the Berlin Wall more than two decades ago brought an end to the Cold War for most of the world. But the legacy of that era remains unresolved on the divided Korean peninsula, which still presents a clear danger for the United States and its allies. Two triangular alliances-one comprised of the United States, South Korea, and Japan, and the other of Russia, China, and North Korea-lie at the heart of the security challenge and all efforts to pursue a final peace treaty. Trilateralism and Beyond brings together a collection of essays by leading American, South Korean, and Japanese scholars that probe the historical dynamics formed and driven by the Korean security dilemma. Drawing on newly declassified documents secured by the National Security Archive's Korea Project, along with new archival resources in China and former Warsaw Pact countries, the contributors examine the critical relationship between the United States and South Korea, exploring the delicate balancing act of bolstering the security alliance and fostering greater democracy in South Korea. The volume expands its focus to include Japan and a look at the history and future challenges of trilateral security cooperation on the peninsula; impending difficulties for security cooperation between the United States, South Korea, and Japan; and the trials that Russia and China have experienced in dealing with an often demanding, unpredictable ally in North Korea. The authors move beyond simple images of ideological support by the two great powers to draw a more complex and nuanced picture. Trilateralism and Beyond offers an essential historical perspective on one of the most enduring challenges for U.S. foreign policy-ensuring stability on the tumultuous Korean peninsula.  Tribal Politics in Iran: Rural Conflict and the New State, 1921-1941 (Royal Asiatic Society Books) By Stephanie Cronin 2006 | 272 Pages | ISBN: 0415404401 | PDF | 2 MB Placing Iran's 'tribal problem' in its historical context,Tribal Politics in Iranprovides an overall assessment on the impact of this crucial period on the character of tribe-state relations in Iran to the end of Pahlavi rule and in the Islamic Republic. It analyzes the political and socio-economic factors undermining tribal politics under the regime of Reza Shah, and examines the division which took place regarding the 'tribal problem'. The author argues that on the one hand, it lead to modern ethnic nationalism and on the other, detribalization and absorption into wider class or ideology-based organizations happened. Looking particularly at the land reform of the early 1960s, and the revolution of 1979, Cronin also discusses the final disappearance of the khans as a political force and the rise of a new tribal leadership loyal to and dependent upon the regime. This innovative and important work challenges conventional political and scholarly approaches to tribal politics. |
