200 Years Yonge: A History
by Ralph MagelThe Yonge Street as conceived by Lieutenant-Governor John Graves Simcoe is celebrated, from its beginning as a First Nation’s Trail, to the Yonge Street we know today, extending from Toronto to Innisfil. Augustus Jones, the surveyor assigned by Simcoe, the French, the German pioneers, the Loyalists – all were to influence the building of Yonge Street. With the building of a route came tolls, inns, villages, more immigrants and ultimately an avenue of economy serving as the key transportation route for the people, goods and services that represent our province.
200 Years at St. John's York Mills: The Oldest Church in Toronto
by Scott Kennedy Jeanne HopkinsThe history of the oldest parish church in the Toronto area is also the history of North Toronto and a changing culture. The War of 1812 was barely over when the people of York Mills felled the trees that would become the first St. John’s Anglican Church. Built in 1816 on land donated by pioneer settlers Joseph and Catherine Shepard, the little log church was the first outpost of St. James Church in the Town of York and the first parish church in what would one day become the City of Toronto. The brick church that stands there today, high on the land overlooking Hogg’s Hollow, was completed in 1844. Though enlarged and improved over the years, it continues to serve as a welcoming place of worship and a valuable repository of Canadian history.
200 Years of Friedrich Engels: A Critical Assessment of His Life and Scholarship (The European Heritage in Economics and the Social Sciences #25)
by Jürgen Georg Backhaus Günther Chaloupek Hans A. FrambachThis edited volume discusses the life and scholarship of Friedrich Engels. Written to commemorate the two-hundred-year anniversary of Engels’ birth, the contributions take a look into his research from a variety of viewpoints, trace the influence of his predecessors, and critically evaluate his place within 19th century scholarship. In addition, specific topics are taken up, such as his (mis)assessment of American capitalism, his influence on the Italian labor movement, the thematization of social problems and the relevance of his thought in a global economy. Providing a fresh look at the co-founder of scientific socialism, this volume will be of interest to researchers and students of contemporary political, social and economic systems, the history of economic thought, and political history.
200 Years of Lifesaving at Sea
by MirrorpixOn 4 March 1824, thirty philanthropic gentlemen – including the abolitionist William Wilberforce and Archbishop of Canterbury Charles Manners-Sutton – met in a London pub. Here, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution was born.In the following 200 years, the RNLI has been woven into the fabric of our island nation, saving over 144,000 lives, despite some rescuers losing their own in the process. With over 100 fascinating images from Mirrorpix, one of the world’s biggest photo libraries, 200 Years of Lifesaving at Sea is a testament to the brave folk who sailed and continue to sail towards danger, rather than away from it.
200 Years of National Philologies: From Romanticism to Globalization
by Christoph StrosetzkiThe 17 contributions in this volume pursue a positioning of the philologies, which - based on the 'Volksgeist' (popular spirit) of the 19th century and the cultural studies of the 20th century - must reposition themselves in the 21st century. The contributions address questions such as: What changes are occurring with increasing globalization? Are national literatures increasingly being absorbed into the so-called "world literature"? The authors come from the fields of Romance studies, German studies and English studies. They deal with topics of literary historiography, canonization, comparative literature, and also questions of the future.
200 Years of Peace: New Perspectives on Modern Swedish Foreign Policy
by Magnus Petersson Nevra Biltekin, Leos MüllerSince 1814 Sweden has avoided involvement in armed conflicts and carried out policies of non-alignment in peacetime and neutrality during war. Even though the Swedish government often describes Sweden as a ‘nation of peace’, in 2004 the 200-year anniversary of that peace passed by with barely any attention. Despite its extraordinary longevity, research about the Swedish experience of enduring peace is underdeveloped. 200 Years of Peace places this long period of peace in broader academic and public discussions surrounding claimed Swedish exceptionality as it is represented in the nation’s social policies, expansive welfare state, eugenics, gender equality programs, and peace.

2000 Assessment of the Office of Naval Research's Marine Corps Science and Technology Program
by National Research Council Naval Studies Board Commission on Physical Sciences, Mathematics, and Applications Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences Committee for the Review of ONR's Marine Corps Science and Technology ProgramThis review of the Science and Technology (S&T) program of the Office of Naval Research's (ONR's) Expeditionary Warfare Operations Technology Division, Code 353, comes at a time of considerable change in the Marine Corps and in ONR, which are currently in the midst of significant transitions. The Marine Corps is making plans to equip and train for engaging in a new style of warfare known as Operational Maneuver From the Sea (OMFTS) and for performing a wide variety of missions in urban settings, ranging from humanitarian assistance to combat and mixes of these suggested by the term three-block war. During 1999, ONR assumed management of that portion of the Marine Corps S&T program that had not been assigned several years earlier to the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory (MCWL). In 2002, control of most of ONR's advanced development funding (6.3), and of much of its exploratory development funding (6.2), will move from ONR's line divisions, of which Code 353 is one of many, to 12 new program offices, each dedicated to demonstrating technologies for future naval capabilities (FNCs). Given these changes, it is not surprising that some of the projects inherited recently by ONR, and assessed by the Committee for the Review of ONR's Marine Corps Science and Technology Program under the auspices of the Naval Studies Board of the National Research Council, differed from the customary ONR project and were more akin to preacquisition or acquisition support than to S&T. It is also not surprising that Code 353 could not articulate its plans for future investments clearly and concisely, given the current uncertainty about the content of and funding level for FNCs. The Marine Corps S&T program supports the five imperatives for technology advancement that the Marine Corps Combat Development Command (MCCDC) has identified as prerequisites for the transition to OMFTS: maneuver, firepower, logistics, training and education, and command and control. The committee supports investment in these areas and, in the report's discussions and recommendations, follows the five imperatives.

2000 Demons: No Match for My Savior
by E. Allen SorumDo demons exist? Step into a world where deadly demons and evil spirits roam the land. No, this book doesn't take place in a fictional, fantastical realm. It takes place in our world and it actually happened. The Bible makes it clear that demons not only exist but also want to cause you and other Christians spiritual harm. "Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour" (1 Peter 5:8). In E. Allen Sorum's 2000 Demons, you'll examine the riveting biblical account of Jesus driving out demons from a person possessed and suffering. You'll see the very real danger of demons and evil spirits—both then and today—but you'll also see the power that your Savior Jesus wields over the darkest of foes. Demons exist—but they're no match for your Savior. Most importantly, through this book, you will be reassured of the ultimate protection that Jesus won for you and all who believe, thanks to his death and resurrection. Here's what people are saying about 2000 Demons: "A very valuable work. It is a beautiful devotional that a Christian can use in all times of trial and struggle. Definitely an eye-opener." –Professor Gaylin R. Schmeling, President of Bethany Lutheran Theological Seminary "Relatively brief, but captivating. A perceptive investigation. Ideal for an older youth or adult Bible study group. Easy, engaging style—as if the author is speaking directly to his readers as he insightfully leads them through many different scenarios and situations." –Dr. Ernst R. Wendland, Lusaka Lutheran Seminary, Zambia "It's about time! Our Western culture has shrugged at and belittled this topic for too long. This book helped me measure and reassess our family's alertness to demons and Satan's deceiving ways." –Amanda Rose, Founder of holyhenhouse.com, wife and mother of three

2000 Years and Beyond: Faith, Identity and the 'Commmon Era'
by David Archard Nigel Rapport Trevor A. Hart Paul Gifford2000 Years and Beyond brings together some of the most eminent thinkers of our time - specialists in philosophy, theology, anthropology and cultural theory. In a horizon-scanning work, they look backwards and forwards to explore what links us to the matrix of the Judaeo-Christian tradition from which Western cultural identity has evolved.Their plural reflections raise searching questions about how we move from past to future - and about who 'we' are. What do the catastrophes of the twentieth century signify for hopes of progress? Can post - Enlightment humanism and its notion of human nature survive without faith? If the 'numinous magic global capitalism' is our own giant shadow cast abroad, does that shadow offer hope enough of a communal future? Has the modern, secularized West now outgrown its originating faith matrix? Often controversial and sometimes visionary, these seven new essays ask: how do we tell - and rewrite - the story of the Common Era? Introduced by Paul Gifford, and discussed in a lively dialogic conclusion, they add their distinctive voices to a debate of profound and urgent topicality.
2000 Years of Pandemics: Past, Present, and Future
by Claudia Ferreira Marie-Françoise J. Doursout Joselito S. BalingitThis book analyzes the factors that have sparked pandemics over the past 2000 years, from the Antonine Plague to COVID-19.It is noteworthy that the frequency of pandemics has increased over the past 2000 years. The authors identify three main drivers for the development of pandemics: transportation, human development, and changes in natural ecosystems. It is important to note that with the advent of the industrial age, the length of time it takes for a pandemic to develop has decreased. COVID-19 is certainly not the last pandemic we will face. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to learn from the past 2000 years to help educate general community and public health officials about pandemic risks and help governments prepare for the next pandemic.The book is also very useful in low and middle-income countries where, in the last several decades, viruses with potential for pandemics have originated. It's comprehensiveness and didactic style make this book a valuable read for government health agencies, private organizations, health care professionals and students.
