Gray, "Prosecuting Homicide in Eighteenth-Century Law and Practice " English | ISBN: 1032400633 | 2022 | 222 pages | EPUB | 2 MB This volume uses four case studies, all with strong London connections, to analyze homicide law and the pardoning process in eighteenth-century England. Each reveals evidence of how attempts were made to negotiate a path through the justice system to avoid conviction, and so avoid a sentence of hanging. This approach allows a deep examination of the workings of the justice system using social and cultural history methodologies. The cases explore wider areas of social and cultural history in the period, such as the role of policing agents, attitudes towards sexuality and prostitution, press reporting, and popular conceptions of "honorable" behavior. They also allow an engagement with what has been identified as the gradual erosion of individual agency within the law, and the concomitant rise of the state. Investigating the nature of the pardoning process shows how important it was to have "friends in high places," and also uncovers ways in which the legal system was susceptible to accusations of corruption. Readers will find an illuminating view of eighteenth-century London through a legal lens.  Free Download Leslie Kelly, "Prophets, Prophecy, and Oracles in the Roman Empire: Jewish, Christian, and Greco-Roman Cultures " English | ISBN: 036760728X | 2020 | 98 pages | EPUB | 231 KB This book surveys the uses and function of prophecy, prophets, and oracles among Jews, Christians, and pagans in the first three centuries of the Roman Empire and explores how prophecy and prophetic texts functioned as a common language that enabled religious discourse to develop between these groups. It shows that each of these cultures believed that it was in prophetic texts and prophetic utterances that they could find the surest proof of their religious beliefs and a strong confirmation of their group identity.  Free Download Ninian Smart, "Prophet of a New Hindu Age: The Life and Times of Acharya Pranavananda " English | ISBN: 1138633453 | 2018 | 180 pages | EPUB | 423 KB This is the fascinating biography, first published in 1985, of the remarkable Bengali religious leader Swami Pranavananda who lived in the turbulent years of the early twentieth century. The story of his life has to some extent been eclipsed by the struggle for Indian independence, but his extraordinary personal qualities, his determined asceticism, his high ideals of social service and commitment to Hindu solidarity all serve to set him apart from his contemporaries and entitle him to be better known by political and religious historians of the period.  Free Download Sean Beienburg, "Prohibition, the Constitution, and States' Rights" English | ISBN: 022663213X | 2019 | 312 pages | EPUB | 1238 KB Colorado's legalization of marijuana spurred intense debate about the extent to which the Constitution preempts state-enacted laws and statutes. Colorado's legal cannabis program generated a strange scenario in which many politicians, including many who freely invoke the Tenth Amendment, seemed to be attacking the progressive state for asserting states' rights. Unusual as this may seem, this has happened before-in the early part of the twentieth century, as America concluded a decades-long struggle over the suppression of alcohol during Prohibition.  Free Download Programming in Pascal: From simple Pascal programs to current desktop applications with Database DEV-PASCAL, LAZARUS AND PASCAL N-IDE by Olga Maria Stefania Cucaro English | July 15, 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0B6S69TG3 | 123 pages | EPUB | 4.34 Mb This work is an overview of the evolution of language very dear to the author because she was the first to study at the time of her school study, Pascal.  Free Download Nicole von Germeten, "Profit and Passion: Transactional Sex in Colonial Mexico" English | ISBN: 0520297318 | 2018 | 264 pages | EPUB | 385 KB Colonial documents and works of literature from early modern Spain are rife with references to public women, whores, and prostitutes. In Profit and Passion, Nicole von Germeten offers a new history of the women who carried and resisted these labels of ill repute. The elusive, ever-changing terminology for prosecuted women voiced by kings, jurists, magistrates, inquisitors, and bishops, as well as disgruntled husbands and neighbors, foreshadows the increasing regulation, criminalization, and polarizing politics of modern global transactional sex. The author's analysis concentrates on the words women spoke in depositions and court appearances and on how their language changed over time, pointing to a broader transformation in the history of sexuality, gender, and the ways in which courts and law enforcement processes affected women.  Free Download Asbjørn Eide, "Problems of Contemporary Militarism " English | ISBN: 0367752476 | 2022 | 414 pages | EPUB | 2 MB This book, first published in 1980, presents a comprehensive and detailed look at the problem of international militarisation. It examines the key issues, the meaning of the problem, the international context and the spread of militarism to the Third World, its fast growth and dangerous implications - including to the development of often poorer countries.  Free Download United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research UNIDIR, "Problems and Perspectives of Conventional Disarmament in Europe " English | ISBN: 036762785X | 2022 | 164 pages | EPUB | 564 KB This book, first published in 1989, explores the ideas, proposals and counterproposals surrounding the thorny issue of Cold War conventional force disarmament in Europe. European nations acknowledged the need to reduce military tensions, but divergences remained as to the concrete ways and means for the attainment of the security objectives on the basis of mutually acceptable reductions of their respective forces. A UNIDIR-organized conference examined these issues, and presented here are the conference reports and findings, together with speaker responses.  Free Download David Head, "Privateers of the Americas: Spanish American Privateering from the United States in the Early Republic " English | ISBN: 0820348643 | 2015 | 224 pages | EPUB | 2 MB Privateers of the Americas examines raids on Spanish shipping conducted from the United States during the early 1800s. These activities were sanctioned by, and conducted on behalf of, republics in Spanish America aspiring to independence from Spain. Among the available histories of privateering, there is no comparable work. Because privateering further complicated international dealings during the already tumultuous Age of Revolution, the book also offers a new perspective on the diplomatic and Atlantic history of the early American republic.  Free Download Alec Ryrie, "Private and Domestic Devotion in Early Modern Britain " English | ISBN: 1138108979 | 2017 | 308 pages | EPUB | 2 MB Scholars increasingly recognise that understanding the history of religion means understanding worship and devotion as well as doctrines and polemics. Early modern Christianity consisted of its lived experience. This collection and its companion volume (Worship and the Parish Church in Early Modern Britain, ed. Natalie Mears and Alec Ryrie) bring together an interdisciplinary range of scholars to discuss what that lived experience comprised, and what it meant. Private and domestic devotion - how early modern men and women practised their religion when they were not in church - is a vital and largely hidden subject. Here, historical, literary and theological scholars examine piety of conformist, non-conformist and Catholic early modern Christians, in a range of private and domestic settings, in both England and Scotland. The subjects under analysis include Bible-reading, the composition of prayers, the use of the psalms, the use of physical props for prayers, the pious interpretation of dreams, and the troubling question of what counted as religious solitude. The collection as a whole broadens and deepens our understanding of the patterns of early modern devotion, and of their meanings for early modern culture as a whole. |
