Wiebke Denecke, "The Dynamics of Masters Literature: Early Chinese Thought from Confucius to Han Feizi" English | 2011 | pages: 385 | ISBN: 0674056094 | PDF | 9,7 mb The importance of the rich corpus of "Masters Literature" that developed in early China since the fifth century BCE has long been recognized. But just what are these texts? Scholars have often approached them as philosophy, but these writings have also been studied as literature, history, and anthropological, religious, and paleographic records. How should we translate these texts for our times?  The Divine Texts By Imam Mustafa Ibn Ahmad Ash-Shatti 2008 | 208 Pages | ISBN: 189731261X | PDF | 38 MB The Salafi Call has been preached in earnest to Orthodox Muslims for more than 200 years. But what is this call? And what does it mean? Who is Muhammad ibn `Abdul Wahhab and should Muslims be concerned for themselves or their children? The author, Imam Mustafa ash-Shatti, answers these questions and gives well rounded answers. And with more than 300 footnotes, the common Muslim will accurately be able to assess Salafi yyah's goals and what side he or she should be on.  Gerald Hawting, "The Development of Islamic Ritual" English | 2006 | pages: 421 | ISBN: 0860787125 | PDF | 18,4 mb This volume is concerned with the origins, development and character of ritual in Islam. The focus is upon the rituals associated with the five 'pillars of Islam': the credal formula, prayer, alms, fasting and pilgrimage. Since the 19th century academic scholarship has sought to investigate Muslim rituals from the point of view of history, the study of religion, and the social sciences, and a set of the most important and influential contributions to this debate, some of them translated into English for the first time, is brought together here. Participation in the ritual life of Islam is for most Muslims the predominant expression of their adherence to the faith and of their religious identity. The Development of Islamic Ritual shows some of the ways in which this important aspect of Islam developed to maturity in the first centuries of Islamic history.  The Decline and Fall of the Ottoman Empire English | 2011 | ISBN: 1435136047 | 470 Pages | EPUB (True) | 3 MB Like England's Charles II, the Ottoman Empire took "an unconscionable time dying." Since the seventeenth century, observers had been predicting the collapse of this so-called Sick Man of Europe, yet it survived all its rivals. As late as 1910, the Ottoman Empire straddled three continents. Unlike the Romanovs, Habsburgs, or Hohenzollerns, the House of Osman, which had allied itself with the Kaiser, was still recognized as an imperial dynasty during the peace conference following World War I.  The Creation of Adam and Eve: History of Mankind by Steve Preston English | May 8, 2014 | ISBN: 1499387369 | 309 pages | EPUB | 6.89 Mb This book covers the first 20 thousand years of the creation known as Adamic man or Cro-magnon. Initially created about 40 thousand years ago, around the world we find the same stories. Adam was , somehow, placed in a garden in the middle of Afghanistan according to details in our Bible and he was finally kicked out because of his interaction with the Nephalimic people and one named Lilith. This covers the trials of this creation up until about 20 thousand years ago.  Theo Hermans, "The Conference of the Tongues" English | 2007 | pages: 192 | ISBN: 1905763050, 1138147559 | EPUB | 3,0 mb The Conference of the Tongues offers a series of startling reflections on fundamental questions of translation. It throws new light on familiar problems and opens up some radically different avenues of thought. It engages with value conflicts in translation and the social accountability of translators, and turns the old issue of equivalence inside out. Drawing on a wealth of contemporary and historical examples, the book teases out the translator's subject-position in translations, makes notions of intertextuality and irony serviceable for translation studies, tries to think translation without transformation, and uses a controversial sociological model to cast a cold eye on the entire world of translating.  Philip Hasheider, "The Complete Book of Pork Butchering, Smoking, Curing, Sausage Making, and Cooking" English | 2016 | ASIN: B01HBEXCMU | EPUB | pages: 207 | 14.3 mb From nose to tail, there's a right and a wrong way to dress and cook a pig. Learn the right way.  Abhinivesh Jain, Niraj Mahajan, "The Cloud DBA-Oracle: Managing Oracle Database in the Cloud" English | 2017 | pages: 244 | ISBN: 1484226364 | EPUB | 6,7 mb PART I: Cloud Computing Fundamentals  The Camping and Survival Prepping Handbook: A comprehensive guide with a campground directory, checklist of tools you need, stockpiling secrets, & the .. by Jessica Clarkson English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0BMZKWNR2 | 230 pages | EPUB | 1.61 Mb Whether you are planning to explore the wilderness by camping in North America, or want to learn about preparing at home in case of an emergency or crisis, The Camping and Survival Prepping Handbook will teach you essential tips, strategies and hacks for camping in the wilderness as well as being prepared for any crisis or natural disaster.  The British Raj: The History and Legacy of Great Britain's Imperialism in India and the Indian Subcontinent by Charles River Editors English | November 19, 2016 | ISBN: 1540492117 | 80 pages | EPUB | 1.38 Mb *Includes pictures *Includes contemporary accounts written about the Raj by British and Indians *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading "A significant fact which stands out is that those parts of India which have been longest under British rule are the poorest today. Indeed some kind of chart might be drawn up to indicate the close connection between length of British rule and progressive growth of poverty." - Jawaharlal Nehru, The Discovery of India The British East India Company served as one of the key players in the formation of the British Empire. From its origins as a trading company struggling to keep up with its superior Dutch, Portuguese, and Spanish competitors to its tenure as the ruling authority of the Indian subcontinent to its eventual hubristic downfall, the East India Company serves as a lens through which to explore the much larger economic and social forces that shaped the formation of a global British Empire. As a private company that became a non-state global power in its own right, the East India Company also serves as a cautionary tale all too relevant to the modern world's current political and economic situation. On its most basic level, the East India Company played an essential part in the development of long-distance trade between Britain and Asia. The trade in textiles, ceramics, tea, and other goods brought a huge influx of capital into the British economy. This not only fueled the Industrial Revolution, but also created a demand for luxury items amongst the middle classes. The economic growth provided by the East India Company was one factor in Britain's ascendancy from a middling regional power to the most powerful nation on the planet. The profits generated by the East India Company also created incentive for other European powers to follow its lead, which led to three centuries of competition for colonies around the world. This process went well beyond Asia to affect most of the planet, including Africa and the Middle East.. Beyond its obvious influence in areas like trade and commerce, the East India Company also served as a point of cultural contact between Western Europeans, South Asians, and East Asians. Quintessentially British practices such as tea drinking were made possible by East India Company trade. The products and cultural practices traveling back and forth on East India Company ships from one continent to another also reconfigured the way societies around the globe viewed sexuality, gender, class, and labor. On a much darker level, the East India Company fueled white supremacy and European concepts of Orientalism. Ultimately, the company's activity across the Indian subcontinent led to further British involvement there, and the British Raj, a period of British dominance and rule over India that formally began in 1857 and lasted until 1947, remains a highly debated topic amongst historians, political scientists, the British people, and the people of modern India. It's necessary to seek an understanding of the people, forces, and events shaping the history of British India to arrive at valid conclusions about the British-Indian experience and to understand the continued divide over its legacy. Perhaps then it's possible to answer Lewis's question: "Is it possible that British rule was both destructive and creative at the same time?" The British Raj: The History and Legacy of Great Britain's Imperialism in India and the Indian Subcontinent looks at the importance of British colonialism in the region, and how it has affected the course of history to this day. Along with pictures and a bibliography, you will learn about the British Raj like never before. |
