Designs on Empire: America's Rise to Power in the Age of European Imperialism by Andrew Priest 2021 | ISBN: 0231197446, 0231197454 | English | 304 pages | PDF | 11 MB In the eyes of both contemporaries and historians, the United States became an empire in 1898. By taking possession of Cuba and the Philippines, the nation seemed to have reached a watershed moment in its rise to power―spurring arguments over whether it should be a colonial power at all. However, the questions that emerged in the wake of 1898 built on long-standing and far-reaching debates over America's place in the world.

Darina Staudt, "Der eine und einzige Gott: Monotheistische Formeln im Urchristentum und ihre Vorgeschichte bei Griechen und Juden" English | 2011 | pages: 348 | ISBN: 3525550154 | PDF | 2,2 mb English summary: This volume focuses on the question of Monotheism, particularly on the semantic analysis of Hebrew and Greek formulas. It follows the beginnings of the monotheistic thinking outside Judaism, starting with Presocratics, Plato and the Stoics, writers and rhetoricianss like Cicero, Epictet, Plutarch and Aristides, and ending in the Roman Period. Various texts, inscriptions, hymns are analyzed in order to demonstrate the traces of pagan monotheism. The second section concentrates on the usage of monotheistic formulas and expressions in the Old Testament and in the Jewish literature of the Hellenistic period, including the writings of Philo and Flavius Josephus. In the third part, the usage of these specific formulas in the New Testament and by the Church fathers is explored. This section also deals with the question of how it was possible that Christianity, with its inherited monotheistic belief, deified Jesus Christ and put him alongside the Father. It concentrates on the usage of such formulas in the early church, whether they indicate interest in the nations or rather represent traditional patterns. The thesis as a whole proves that such formulas were not just private witness but finally had a strong impact on the structure of the early church. German text. German description: Die vorgelegte Untersuchung reiht sich in die vielen Arbeiten uber Fragen des Monotheismus ein und nimmt die sprachliche Analyse hebraischer und griechischer Sprachformeln in den Focus. Sie verfolgt die wenig beachteten Anfange monotheistischen Denkens ausserhalb des Judentums, beginnend bei den Vorsokratikern, Platon und den Stoikern uber Epiktet, Plinius d.A., Plutarch und Aristides bis ins ausgehende romische Reich. Hymnen, Prosatexte und Inschriften werden als Zeugen des paganen Monotheismus herangezogen. In einem zweiten Kapitel wird der Gebrauch monotheistischer Sprachformeln im Alten Testament und den judischen Schriften der hellenistisch-romischen Zeit untersucht, einschliesslich des ausgiebigen Gebrauchs bei Philo von Alexandrien und dem eher zuruckhaltenden bei Flavius Josephus. In einem dritten Kapitel wird die Verwendung dieser Formeln im Neuen Testament und bei den apostolischen Vatern unter der Fragestellung fortgesetzt, wie es moglich war, dass die fruhe Christenheit mit einem ererbten monotheistischen Bekenntnis den Menschen Jesus Christus als gottliche Grosse integrieren und als aSohn neben den aVater setzen konnte. Die Untersuchung geht auch der Frage nach, welche religionspolitische Folgen der Gebrauch einer bestimmten Formelsprache zeigt, ob sie vorsichtige Offnung der judischen Gemeinschaft zur hellenistischen Welt oder schroffe Ablehnung signalisiert, oder welche Formulierungen Apostel Paulus ubernimmt und welche er abweist. Die Arbeit, die zahlreiche Bedeutungsvarianten dieser Formeln aufdeckt, zeigt, dass diese Begriffe nicht nur personliche Bekenntnisse waren, sondern Auswirkung auf die normativen Grundlagen der fruhen Kirche hatten.  Demography Through Problems by Nathan Keyfitz English | PDF | 1984 | 149 Pages | ISBN : 0387908366 | 9.5 MB The book that follows is an experiment in the teaching of population theory and analysis. A sequence of problems where each is a self-contained puzzle, and the successful solution of each which puts the student in a position to tackle the next, is a means of securing the active participation of the learner and so the mastery of a technical subject. How far our questions are the exciting puzzles at which we aimed, and how far the sequence constitutes a rounded course in demography, must be left to the user to judge.  Piotrek Swiatkowski, "Deleuze and Desire: Analysis of "The Logic of Sense" " English | ISBN: 9462700311 | 2015 | 336 pages | PDF | 2 MB The engagement of Gilles Deleuze with psychoanalysis has led to the development of a remarkable and highly influential theory about human desire. The most systematic account of this theory, crucial for anyone interested in the work of Deleuze and Félix Guattari, can be found in the discussion of the dynamic genesis of sense, a pivotal part of Deleuze's The Logic of Sense. In Deleuze and Desire Piotrek Swiatkowski picks up the challenge to provide a commentary on this text. Swiatkowski makes use of a broad range of examples, from psychoanalytic case studies to art, literature, and film, and systematically analyzes in an accessible and clear way the impact of the work of psychoanalysts such as Melanie Klein on Deleuze.  Pat Rogers, "Defoe's Tour and Early Modern Britain: Panorama of the Nation" English | ISBN: 1009098861 | 2022 | 300 pages | PDF | 7 MB Authoritative yet accessible, this is the first-ever comprehensive account of a true landmark in eighteenth-century travel writing. Daniel Defoe's Tour thro' the Whole Island of Great Britain is constantly cited even now by students in practically every branch of history, and there are few topics essential to our understanding of the nation in the early modern period that do not show up in its pages. Historians since the late nineteenth century have looked to the Tour as one of the richest and most insightful works describing Britain in the lead-up to the Industrial Revolution, and critics and biographers of Defoe have regularly named it as among his most characteristic and central works. Indispensable for virtually any interdisciplinary approach to the nation in this period, this new study provides wide-reaching, up-to-date analysis of the content of the Tour, and of its methods, sources, form, and vast historical significance.  Thomas May, "Decoding Wagner: An Invitation to His World of Music Drama" English | 2004 | pages: 236 | ISBN: 1574670972 | PDF | 5,7 mb This guide aims to unlock the world of Richard Wagner and his works, his monumental achievements, and, ultimately, the great emotional power inherent in his art. Decoding Wagner presents a straightforward, fresh overview of what Wagner attempted to achieve with his "artwork of the future." Two accompanying full-length CDs illustrate and trace his growth as a composer.  Decadent Developmentalism: The Political Economy of Democratic Brazil by Matthew M. Taylor English | November 12, 2020 | ISBN: 1108842283, 1108827551 | 340 pages | PDF | 3 MB Brazil features regularly in global comparisons of large developing economies. Yet since the 1980s, the country has been caught in a low-level equilibrium, marked by lackluster growth and destructive inequality. One cause is the country's enduring commitment to a set of ideas and institutions labelled developmentalism. This book argues that developmentalism has endured, despite hyperactive reform, because institutional complementarities across economic and political spheres sustain and drive key actors and strategies that are individually advantageous, but collectively suboptimal. Although there has been incremental evolution in some institutions, complementarities across institutions sustain a pattern of 'decadent developmentalism' that swamps systemic change. Breaking new ground, Taylor shows how macroeconomic and microeconomic institutions are tightly interwoven with patterns of executive-legislative relations, bureaucratic autonomy, and oversight. His analysis of institutional complementarities across these five dimensions is relevant not only to Brazil but also to the broader study of comparative political economy.  Erik Davis, "Deathpower: Buddhism's Ritual Imagination in Cambodia" English | ISBN: 0231169183 | 2015 | 320 pages | PDF | 9 MB Drawing on extensive ethnographic fieldwork in Cambodia, Erik W. Davis radically reorients approaches toward the nature of Southeast Asian Buddhism's interactions with local religious practice and, by extension, reorients our understanding of Buddhism itself. Through a vivid study of contemporary Cambodian Buddhist funeral rites, he reveals the powerfully integrative role monks play as they care for the dead and negotiate the interplay of non-Buddhist spirits and formal Buddhist customs.  Dave Barry, "Dave Barry's Book of Bad Songs" English | 2000 | ISBN: 0740706004 | EPUB | pages: 94 | 0.6 mb When funnyman Dave Barry asked readers about their least favorite tunes, he thought he was penning just another installment of his weekly syndicated humor column. But the witty writer was flabbergasted by the response when over 10,000 readers voted. "I have never written a column that got a bigger response than the one announcing the Bad Song Survey," Barry wrote.Based on the results of the survey, Dave Barry's Book of Bad Songs is a compilation of some of the worst songs ever written. Dave Barry fans will relish his quirky take. Music buffs, too will appreciate this humorous stroll through the world's worst lyrics. The only thing wrong with this book is that readers will find themselves unable to stop mentally singing the greatest hits of Gary Puckett. |
