Render Unto Caesar: Ecclesiastical Politics in the Reign of Queen Anne
by R. Barry LevisBefore Queen Anne's reign had even begun, rival factions in both Church and State were jostling for position in her court. Attempting to follow a moderate course, the new monarch and her advisors had to be constantly wary of the attempts of extremists on both sides to gain the upper hand. The result was a see-saw period of alternating influence that has fascinated historians and political commentators. In this engaging new study, Barry Levis shows that although both parties claimed to be in support of the Church, their real aim was advancing their respective political positions. Uniting close analysis of Queen Anne's changing policies towards dissenters, occasional conformity and church appointments with studies of the careers of several prominent churchmen and politicians, Levis paints a gripping picture of competing religious values and political ambitions. Most significantly, he shows that, far from being restricted to the church and political elites, these conflicts were to have a cascading influence on the division of the country long after the Queen's reign ended.

Thomas' Entscheidung (Scanguards Vampire)
by Tina FolsomThomas, Scanguards Vampir und Meister der Gedankenkontrolle, betreut schon seit mehr als einem Jahr den Neuvampir Eddie und ist schon ebenso lange in ihn verliebt. Jedoch hat er keine Hoffnung, dass seine Liebe je erwidert werden wird. Während die beiden, nach bösen Vampiren Ausschau haltend, durch San Francisco patrouillieren und in eine brenzlige Situation geraten, küsst Eddie Thomas als Ablenkungsmanöver und ist von seiner eigenen Reaktion auf den Kuss zutiefst erschüttert. Eddie hat Angst vor der sexuellen Anziehung zu seinem Mentor und befürchtet, dass seine erwachende Begierde ihre Freundschaft zerstören wird. Die Enttäuschung über Eddies Unfähigkeit, sich zu Thomas zu bekennen, führt Thomas auf einen dunklen Pfad, der Zerstörung für alle, die er liebt, bedeuten könnte. Nur Eddie kann ihn vom Abgrund der ewigen Dunkelheit zurückbringen. Aber hat dieser den Mut, dem Mann, der für ihn bestimmt ist, seine wahren Gefühle zu gestehen, bevor es zu spät ist?

Music Performers' Lived Experiences: Theory, Method, Interpretation: Volume One (SEMPRE Studies in The Psychology of Music)
by Edited by Mine Doğantan-DackThe two volumes on Music Performers’ Lived Experiences seeks to widen this research area through close investigations of a variety of rich, complex and nuanced experiences classical music performers have qua performers, as they interact with musical scores, instruments, performance traditions, other musicking individuals, wider artistic and cultural discourses, norms and beliefs.The two volumes aim to “humanise” music performers and contribute towards shaping a more performer-centred discipline of Music Performance Studies. The first volume, Music Performers’ Lived Experiences: Theory, Method, Interpretation, brings together internationally renowned scholars, who capture and scrutinise, through a variety of methods, a wide range of experiences performers have—as well as the personally meaningful lived experience narratives performers construct—presenting vivid portraits of music performers as artists situated in unique socio-cultural, historical, embodied and discursive contexts. The topics discussed include the construction of the idea of “the composer” from lived experiences of performing, manifestations of wisdom in the ways performers make sense of their experiences, joys of sight-reading, performer agency, lived experience as the basis of performance analysis, emotional labour of working with controversial repertoire, performance anxiety dreams of music performers, experience of working across musical genres, the nature of intersubjective experiences in music-making, absorption, and subjective bodily sensations in performance.Readers will come away from the book with fresh insights about and an enhanced understanding of the infinitely rich lifeworld of music performers.

The Archaeology of Ancient Cities (Principles of Archaeology)
by Glenn R. StoreyCities are the largest "artifacts" investigated by archaeologists--entities that have been under academic scrutiny for a long time. Urban places are both physical and social agglomerations, fostering the most intense interaction of any human settlement. Archaeological evidence illustrates how ancient cities worldwide were similar in origin, development, and maturation, showing considerable isomorphism with modern cities. This book explores issues of definition and the essential elements of cities, offers a new heuristic typology of cities, and reviews case studies of six ancient cities (Copan, Great Zimbabwe, Gyeongju, Hierakonpolis, Rome, and Teotihuacan) with illustrative exercises at the end of each chapter. Cities have been characterized as "social reactors" working much like a star in creating an explosive increase in human connectivity. Urban planning, both ancient and modern, helps us understand the essence of this--the most exciting and vibrant product of the human tendency to nucleate.
The Klaas Schilder Reader: The Essential Theological Writings
by Klaas SchilderRecovering a forgotten theologian. Klaas Schilder (1890–1952) was a prominent Dutch Reformed theologian in the early twentieth century, first as a pastor and then as a professor. While his fame spread to North America in the 1940s, he is mostly forgotten today. In The Klaas Schilder Reader: The Essential Theological Writings, readers will rediscover this important Dutch theologian. Working in the tradition of Abraham Kuyper and Herman Bavinck, Schilder applies Dutch Neo-Calvinism to the twentieth century. This includes secularism, the rise and influence of Karl Barth, opposition to Nazism, and the relation between the church and society. The Klaas Schilder Reader contextualizes his work and furthers the neo-Calvinist tradition.

Entrate nel loro mondo aristocratico... dove ognuno di loro combatterà l'ingiustizia e troverà l'amore. Hugh Pennington - Il visconte Greysteil, Lord Justice of the Scottish Courts, eroe delle guerre napoleoniche, è un vedovo addolorato con un desiderio di morte. Quando riceve una cassa attesa dal continente, rimane scioccato nel trovare all'interno una donna quasi morta.

Suo padre, un comandante militare irlandese dell'esercito sconfitto di Napoleone. Sua madre, una giacobita scozzese in esilio.

Quando il loro duello d'ingegno si trasforma rapidamente in passione e romanticismo, le paure di Grace cominciano a dissolversi... finché il pericolo non la segue fino alle porte di Baronsford. Infatti, all'insaputa di entrambi, Grace è in possesso di un segreto che porterà scompiglio all'interno del governo britannico. Amico e nemico sono indistinguibili mentre forze letali convergono per separare i due amanti o distruggerli entrambi!
Lost Gifts: Miscarriage, Grief, and the God of All Comfort
by Brittany Lee AllenGrief upon grief. I felt life perish from within my body three times. I had children, I just never got to hold them or know them or kiss them. My life looked no different from the outside. But inside, I was heartbroken and confused. Losing a baby in the womb is common, but that doesn't make it any less painful. The grief of losing any child feels unbearable. Lost Gifts: Miscarriage, Grief, and the God of All Comfort laments the grief of miscarriage, discovers God's gifts in spite of loss, and remembers our Good Shepherd, who weeps with those who weep. When we suffer, we are invited into deeper communion with Jesus. In the pain of miscarriage, we learn to treasure our suffering Savior who holds us.
Romans: A New Covenant Commentary (NCCS)
by Craig S KeenerA helpfully concise commentary on Paul's letter to the early Christians in Rome, which the Apostle wrote just a few years before the outbreak of Nero's persecution. Keener examines each paragraph for its function in the letter as a whole, helping the reader follow Paul's argument. Where relevant, he draws on his vast work in ancient Jewish and Greco-Roman sources in order to help modern readers understand the message of Romans according to the way the first audience would have heard it. Throughout, Keener focuses on major points that are especially critical for the contemporary study of Paul's most influential and complex New Testament letter.
Creative License: From Leeds College of Art to Leeds Polytechnic, 1963-1973
by James Charnley'Creative License' describes what happened next and the continuum leading up to this moment. In this ground-breaking study, James Charnley reveals the personalities and events that ignited an explosion of radical creativity such that a contemporary observer, Patrick Heron, could describe Leeds College of Art as an unprecedented inventive powerhouse on the national scene. Between 1963 and 1973, Leeds College of Art and Leeds Polytechnic were at the forefront of an experiment in art and education where all that was forbidden was to be dull. With Jeff Nuttall, Robin Page, George Brecht, Patrick Hughes and John Fox on the staff, students pushed the freedom and facilities offered further than anything before or since. 'Creative License' captures the rebellious trajectory of the 1960s, the emergence of the counter-culture, dissent and later disillusionment. This is a case study of an era when art colleges were well funded and well free and, at Leeds, had a mission to progress the avant-garde project to the next level. Perhaps only now can the consequences of this experiment be assessed and its achievements recognised, and James Charnley sets out to do just that.
Science and Sensibility: From the Heavens Above to the Earth Below
by David HoweIn an outer arm of the spiralling Milky Way galaxy can be seen an insignificant speck. This is our home, planet Earth. Its skies, clouds, lands and seas, and indeed life itself have long drawn the interest of scientists and artists alike. Our cultural and scientific history is evidence enough that curiosity and wonder are the twin drivers of both scientific and artistic imaginations. In Science and Sensibility, David Howe unveils the stories of the scientists who helped to make sense of the stars, clouds, life, rocks, and the elements, and weaves their tales with the thoughts and feelings of artists who found meaning as they experienced nature's beauty, grandeur and mystery. Scientific greats such as James Hutton, Charles Darwin, Dmitri Mendeleev, Gregor Mendel and Annie Jump Cannon all the way up to today's leading scientists are complemented by the literary insights of people such as William Wordsworth, Jorge Luis Borges and Iris Murdoch. Readers are encouraged to embrace what the sciences and the arts can reveal together. In doing so, the earth below and the heavens above become brighter and richer. The wonder and curiosity embodied in Science and Sensibility could perhaps take us a step closer to holding 'Infinity in the palm of your hand / and Eternity in an hour'.
Lost Worlds of Ancient and Modern Greece: Gilbert Bagnani: The Adventures of a Young Italo-Canadian Archaeologist in Greece, 1921-1924 (Archaeological Lives)
by D. J. Ian BeggBy day, young Gilbert Bagnani studied archaeology in Greece, but by night he socialised with the elite of Athenian society. Secretly writing for the Morning Post in London, he witnessed both antebellum Athens in 1921 and the catastrophic collapse of Christian civilisation in western Anatolia in 1922. While there have been many accounts by refugees of the disastrous flight from Smyrna, few have been written from the perspective of the west side of the Aegean. The flood of a million refugees to Greece brought in its wake a military coup in Athens, the exile of the Greek royal family and the execution or imprisonment of politicians, whom Gilbert knew. Gilbert's weekly letters to his mother in Rome reveal his Odyssey-like adventures on a voyage of discovery through the origins of western civilisation. As an archaeologist in Greece, he travelled through time seeing history repeat itself: Minoan Knossos, Byzantine Constantinople and Ottoman Smyrna were all violently destroyed, but the survivors escaped to the new worlds of Mycenaean Greece, Renaissance Venice and modern Greece. At Smyrna in the twentieth century, history was written not only by the victors but was also recorded by the victims. At the same time, however, the twentieth century itself was so filled with reports of ethnic cleansings on such a scale that the reports brutalized the humanity of the supposedly civilized people reading about them, and the tragedy of Smyrna disappeared from public awareness between the cataclysmic upheavals of the First and Second World Wars.

The Psychology of Attack Politics: Perceptions, Evaluations and Effects (Global Perspectives in Political Psychology)
by Alessandro Nai Lukas P. Otto Chiara VargiuThe Psychology of Attack Politics explores the use of political attacks in election campaigns, and the way in which their, often deliberate, use impacts voters and has wide reaching societal consequences.With most elections being fraught with tension, disrespectful treatment of political opponents, and political incivility, this timely book aims to disentangle the dynamics of how attack politics is perceived (e.g., whether citizens perceive a negative message to be, indeed, negative) and evaluated (i.e., whether citizens like or dislike attack politics). The book also looks at the effects of attack politics, for instance, whether exposure to negative or uncivil messages alters attitudes and behaviors, such as turnout, affective polarization, and support for political violence. The authors provide a systematic conceptualization of attack politics, made up of negativity, incivility, and intolerance. Focusing on cutting- edge research in political psychology, political communication, and electoral behavior, the authors make the central argument that to understand the effects of different forms of attack politics, there should be a strong focus on individual differences in message perception and evaluation.Exploring what ultimately drives the effects of negative, uncivil, and intolerant rhetoric, and analyzing the phenomena at the center of current scientific and public discourse, this is a fascinating reading for academics and students in psychology, political science, sociology, and communication, as well as anyone interested in political campaigning and elections.
Mirrored Minds: Soren Kierkegaard and Hans Christian Andersen
by Kate AshtonIn her unique dual biography, Kate Ashton delineates the parallel lives of Hans Christian Anderson and Sen Kierkegaard, their personal relationship, literary careers, and lasting cultural influence on the western and wider world. These two towering literary geniuses followed radically divergent paths, and yet each read and reacted to the immense power and depth of the other's growing oeuvre as it refracted their own. Against the backdrop of the end of Golden Age Denmark within a warring Europe, and the spiritual and sexual repression of Reformed Christianity, each suffered the fate of the prophet unhonoured in his hometown of Copenhagen. Tracing their lives from childhood trauma to tragic love affairs and anguished isolation, Ashton illuminates counteractive response to experience: one an inward search for truth and self-knowledge, the other flight into distraction and fantasy. Mirrored Minds offers the reader an opportunity to explore each author and his legacy within the context of the other, just as their long-standing association held up a mirror for Anderson and Kierkegaard themselves.
Lutheran Identity and Political Theology
by Carl-Henric Grenholm Göran GunnerLutheran tradition has in various ways influenced attitudes to work, the economy, the state, education, and health care. One reason that Lutheran theology has been interpreted in various ways is that it is always influenced by surrounding social andcultural contexts. In a society where the church has lost a great deal of its cultural impact and authority, and where there is a plurality of religious convictions, the question of Lutheran identity has never been more urgent. However, this question is also raised in the Global South where Lutheran churches need to find their identity in a relationship with several other religions. Here this relationship is developed from a minority perspective. Is it possible to develop a Lutheran political theology that gives adequate contributions to issues concerning social and economic justice? What is the role of women in church and society around the world? Is it possible to interpret Lutheran theology in such a way that it includes liberating perspectives? These are some of the questions and issues discussed in this book.

The Foremost Problems of Contemporary Dogmatics: On Faith, Knowledge, and the Christian Tradition
by Herman BavinckHerman Bavinck on the challenges theologians face Herman Bavinck's counsel to theologians A unique window into Bavinck's thought An overlooked work from a key Neo-Calvinist thinker In The Foremost Problems of Contemporary Dogmatics, Herman Bavinck identifies the primary challenges confronting Protestant theologians in the early twentieth century. Since the main difficulties do not concern specific heads of doctrine but arise in theological method, Bavinck's focus narrows to the act of faith. Bavinck demonstrates the necessity of viewing faith as knowledge rather than mere trust, recounting the development of doctrine from the biblical authors through the dawn of the twentieth century. This book provides a unique window into Bavinck's thought, as he speaks candidly about the limitations and failures of Reformed theology and the relative merits of modern thinkers. The Foremost Problems of Contemporary Dogmatics was a series of lectures delivered at the Free University shortly after Bavinck moved to Amsterdam in 1902. Edited and translated by Gert de Kok and Bruce R. Pass, these previously unpublished lectures are available for the first time in English.

Corporate Systems in Emerging Market Economies: A Comparison of China and Eastern Europe (Routledge Studies in the Modern World Economy)
by Ichiro Iwasaki Xinxin Ma Satoshi MizobataThis book provides a comparative perspective of various areas of corporate management in two post-socialist regions: China and Eastern Europe.The book employs original firm-level empirical analyses and meta-analyses of the extant literature to investigate the impacts of corporate ownership on firm performance and organizational behavior; internal organization through the lens of the corporate board; and the interrelationship between firms and gender, labor relations, and society. In comparing China and Eastern Europe, the book addresses whether corporate governance structures have evolved due to global pressures from competition and technological progress or if inter-regional differences reflect how firms were privatized or handed over to managers after the end of central planning.This book will appeal to researchers and post-graduate students interested in comparative economics, economic system transition, and comparative corporate systems.
