Colt Anderson English | November 1, 2007 | ISBN: 0809105799 | 288 pages | PDF | 2.13 Mb The Second Vatican Council stated that the church is always in need of purification and renewal, but it did not attempt to describe how this process takes place. In THE GREAT CATHOLIC REFORMERS, C. Colt Anderson describes how reform takes place, what it looks and sounds like, and how it can be effective. He based these observations on historical models from a variety of historical and cultural contexts and covers the careers of Pope Gregory the Great, Peter Damian, Bernard of Clairvaux, Clare of Assisi, Catherine of Siena, Jean Gerson, Jan Hus, Gasparo Contarini, John Henry Newman, and Dorothy Day. The diversity of the great reformers in the Catholic tradition suggests that legitimate reform within the Church can operate from different spiritualities, employ either gentle or harsh critiques, use secular or canon law to enforce discipline, and can begin with lay men and women as well as with members of the religious or of the clergy. Since reform is about change, it is impossible to identify a universal set of characteristics for reform. Nevertheless, Anderson demonstrates that reform is rooted in the Christian idea of conversion or penance. This volume shows how our understanding of reform has extended over time from individual penance to institutions, laws, ecclesial systems, and societies. By citing these diverse models, the book encourages every Catholic to take up the difficult task of reform and provides them with examples that suit their own temperaments. Finally, the book urges tolerance for people who follow different approaches to reform. †  Free Download Eduard Kögel, "The Grand Documentation: Ernst Boerschmann and Chinese Religious Architecture " English | ISBN: 3110374943 | 2015 | 592 pages | EPUB, PDF | 27 MB + 66 MB Ernst Boerschmann was the most influential foreign architectural researcher in China in the first half of the twentieth century. This book concerns his three-year research expedition through the Chinese Empire (1906-1909). He was the first Westerner to systematically document China's religious architecture, returning from his travels with thousands of photographs, sketches, and architectural surveys. His six major publications leading up to 1931, described here alongside the reactions they caused, were milestones on the path to formal study of Chinese architectural history, long before Chinese academics themselves began to take interest in the subject in the 1930s.  Free Download Andreas Trotzke, "The Grammar of Emphasis: From Information Structure to the Expressive Dimension " English | ISBN: 1501515039 | 2017 | 200 pages | EPUB, PDF | 9 MB + 2 MB This book reconsiders the linguistic notion of emphasis. For many, the concept of emphasis is confined to information structure. However, our understanding of the grammatical reflexes of emphasis is only partial as long as the expressive side of utterances is not taken into account. The book explores similarities, differences, and interactions between information structure and the expressive dimension of language in the domain of natural language grammar.

It presents case studies on the reaction of eight governors to federal health, education, and welfare policies during the 1980s and compares the approaches of each of the studied governors.  Free Download J. Bayard Morris, "The Government of France" English | 2020 | ISBN: 0367259931 | EPUB | pages: 222 | 0.6 mb Originally published in 1919. French institutions of today, considered as a whole, form a composite building on which every new regime for the last hundred years has left its mark. The foundation is provided by the social, legal, judicial and administrative system of the Napoleonic Empire, which was crowned in 1875 by the corner-stone of parliamentary democracy. Many other features has been left by other regimes; thus France owes her general principles of common law and her administrative divisions to the Revolution.  Free Download Helena Carrapico, Benjamin Farrand, "The Governance of Online Expression in a Networked World" English | 2015 | ISBN: 1138927074 | EPUB | pages: 140 | 0.4 mb In recent years, we have witnessed the mushrooming of pro- democracy and protest movements not only in the Arab world, but also within Europe and the Americas. Such movements have ranged from popular upheavals, like in Tunisia and Egypt, to the organization of large-scale demonstrations against unpopular policies, as in Spain, Greece and Poland. What connects these different events are not only their democratic aspirations, but also their innovative forms of communication and organization through online means, which are sometimes considered to be outside of the State's control. At the same time, however, it has become more and more apparent that countries are attempting to increase their understanding of, and control over, their citizens' actions in the digital sphere. This involves striving to develop surveillance instruments, control mechanisms and processes engineered to dominate the digital public sphere, which necessitates the assistance and support of private actors such as Internet intermediaries. Examples include the growing use of Internet surveillance technology with which online data traffic is analysed, and the extensive monitoring of social networks. Despite increased media attention, academic debate on the ambivalence of these technologies, mechanisms and techniques remains relatively limited, as is discussion of the involvement of corporate actors. The purpose of this edited volume is to reflect on how Internet-related technologies, mechanisms and techniques may be used as a means to enable expression, but also to restrict speech, manipulate public debate and govern global populaces.  Free Download Simon Anholt, "The Good Country Equation: How We Can Repair the World in One Generation" English | 2020 | ISBN: 152308961X | EPUB | pages: 240 | 0.9 mb "Not only does Anholt explain the challenges facing the world with unique clarity, he also provides genuinely new, informative, practical, innovative solutions. . . .

Free Download The Golden Rule: Lessons in living from a doctor of ageing by Lucy Pollock English | July 11, 2024 | ISBN: 0241593514 | 352 pages | PDF | 1.41 Mb Read the latest book from Dr Lucy Pollock, a wise, compassionate and helpful guide to ageing happily  Free Download Roger Statham, "The Golden Age of Probation: Mission V Market" English | 2014 | ISBN: 1909976148 | EPUB | pages: 240 | 0.6 mb The Golden Age of Probation is the first book on probation by those practitioners who became its leaders. A comprehensive account exploring culture, values and tensions. It looks at the dynamics of probation supervision and political dimensions, including the shift to a market-driven form of public service. A lively and challenging collection of writings by those at the very heart of the Probation Service for 50-years. Complete with descriptions of life at all levels of what has been described as the 'jewel in the crown' of criminal justice. Moral and other challenges are presented alongside those of standing-up to government Ministers whose aspirations for 'political immortality' have led to profound tensions. The book describes how tough talk and market-strategies have undermined 100-years of devoted public service and ideas about how best to help change the lives of some of the most marginalised people in society. Equality, race and social deprivation are amongst the issues explored as the ethos of probation and its deeply-rooted values are laid bare in a book that deals with highs and lows, hazards, innovation, hopes, aims and the international influence of an organization whose original mission (not always popular) was to 'advise, assist and befriend' those otherwise heading for prison and a life of crime. Colourful and highly readable, The Golden Age of Probation takes the reader on a journey through England and Wales exposing social disadvantage, unrest and increasingly London-centric policies. It records first-hand what life was like for those at the sharp end during an era of extensive progress, development and change. After becoming a probation officer in Stoke-on-Trent in the 1960s the editor Roger Statham rose through the ranks to become Chief Probation Officer for Teesside. He is joint secretary of the Association of Retired Chief Probation Officers and Inspectors of Probation. The book contains contributions by 20 members and associates of that body. The author, playwright and actor Alan Bennett contributed the Foreword after recording elsewhere his thoughts on certain responsibilities remaining in public hands: 'The notion that probation, which is intended to help those who have fallen foul of the law, should make a profit for shareholders seems beyond satire.' Diary, 2013. 'The rewards of probation ... are human profits and nothing to do with balance sheets.' Cambridge Sermon, 2014.
