Shifting Sands - Thomas W. Davis - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Shifting Sands - Thomas W. Davis - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Before the 1970s, biblical archaeology was the dominant research paradigm for those excavating the history of Palestine. Today most people prefer to speak of Syro/Palestinian archaeology. This is not just a normal shift but reflects a major theoretical and methodological change. It has even been labelled a revolution. In the popular mind, however, biblical archaeology is still alive and well. In Shifting Sands, Thomas W. Davis charts the evolution and the demise of the discipline. Biblical archaeology, he writes, was an attempt to ground the historical witness of the Bible in demonstrable historical reality.

Theism, Atheism and the Doctrine of the Trinity - W. Waite Willis - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

W. Waite Willis, Jr. demonstrates the apologetic usefulness of the Christsan doctrine of the Trinity for responding to the challenges of modern atheism as represetned by Feuerbach, Camus, Marx, Adorno, and Horkheimer. Utilizing materials from Karl Barth and Jürgen Moltmann, Willis demonstrates how Trinitarian theology is iconoclastic towards either theism or atheism. A Trinitarian conception of God, Willis argues, signifies both God''s openness and God''s relevance to the world.

Defending Frenemies - Jeffrey W. (associate Professor Of Political Science Taliaferro - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Defending Frenemies - Jeffrey W. (associate Professor Of Political Science Taliaferro - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

The United States maintains defense ties with as many as 60 countries, which not only enables its armed forces to maintain command globally and to project its force widely, but also enables its government to exert leverage over allies'' foreign policies and military strategies. In Defending Frenemies, Jeffrey W. Taliaferro presents a historical and comparative analysis of how successive US presidential administrations have employed inducements and coercive diplomacy toward Israel, Pakistan, South Korea, and Taiwan over nuclear proliferation. Taliaferro shows that the ultimate goals in each administration, from John F. Kennedy to George H. W. Bush, have been to contain the Soviet Union''s influence in the Middle East and South Asia and to enlist China as an ally of convenience against the Soviets in East Asia. Policymakers'' inclinations to pursue either accommodative strategies or coercive nonproliferation strategies toward allies have therefore been directly linked to these primary objectives. Defending Frenemies is sharp examination of how regional power dynamics and US domestic politics have shaped the nonproliferation strategies the US has pursued toward vulnerable and often obstreperous allies.

George W. Bush and the Redemptive Dream - Dan P. Mcadams - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

George W. Bush and the Redemptive Dream - Dan P. Mcadams - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

George W. Bush remains a highly controversial figure, a man for whom millions of Americans have very strong feelings. Dan McAdams'' book offers an astute psychological portrait of Bush, one of the first biographies to appear since he left office as well as the first to draw systematically from personality science to analyze his life. McAdams, an international leader in personality psychology and the narrative study of lives, focuses on several key events in Bush''s life, such as the death of his sister at age 7, his commitment to sobriety on his 40th birthday, and his reaction to the terrorist attacks of September 11, and his decision to invade Iraq. He sheds light on Bush''s life goals, the story he constructed to make sense of his life, and the psychological dynamics that account for his behavior. Although there are many popular biographies of George W. Bush, McAdams'' is the first true psychological analysis based on established theories and the latest research. Short and focused, written in an engaging style, this book offers a truly penetrating look at our forty-third president.

Some Other Note - Ross W. Duffin - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

English comedy from the fifteenth to the early seventeenth century abounds in song lyrics, but most of the original tunes were thought to have been lost--until now. By deducing that playwrights borrowed melodies from songs they already knew, Ross W. Duffin has used the existing English repertory of songs, both popular and composed, to reconstruct hundreds of songs from more than a hundred plays and other stage entertainments. Thanks to Duffin''s incredible breakthrough, these plays have been rendered performable with period music for the first time in five hundred years. Some Other Note not only brings these songs back from the dead, but tells a thrilling tale of the investigations that unraveled these centuries-old mysteries.

Antonin Dvo%rak's New World Symphony - Douglas W. Shadle - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Before Antonín Dvorák''s New World Symphony became one of the most universally beloved pieces of classical music, it exposed the deep wounds of racism at the dawn of the Jim Crow era while serving as a flashpoint in broader debates about the American ideals of freedom and equality. Drawing from a diverse array of historical voices, author Douglas W. Shadle''s richly textured account of the symphony''s 1893 premiere shows that even the classical concert hall could not remain insulated from the country''s racial politics.

The Man in the Yellow Hat - Dorothy W. Martyn - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Psychotherapist Dorothy W. Martyn reverses the way in which psychoanalytic psychology and Christian theology have usually been related to one another. With few exceptions, priority has been granted to psychology: infantile needs and wishes spawn religious ideas; from one''s life experience one can proceed to an understanding of God. Tracing the therapeutic journeys of three children, Martyn finds crucial illumination in the insights of Freud, Jung, Winnicott, Klein, and others. But she sees the power that evokes emotional growth in the therapeutic relationship as deriving from motifs of Christian theology that deepen our understanding of authentic parental love.
