Dr. Johnson's 'Own Dear Master' - Lee Morgan - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Dr. Johnson's 'Own Dear Master' - Lee Morgan - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

In this biography, Lee Morgan tells the story of Henry Thrale, a successful but flawed and troubled businessman and Member of Parliament who was at the center of the life of the most famous man of letters of the eighteenth century, Dr. Samuel Johnson. Thrale was also married to an exceptionally talented diarist and, perhaps, the most brilliant society leader of the period, Hester Salusbury Thrale, later Mrs. Gabriel Piozzi. In chronicling both the domestic life and the career of Thrale, Dr. Johnson''s "Own Dear Master" also affords an interesting glimpse of eighteenth-century business, political, and social life of the age of Johnson as it was played out by some of the principal figures of the day.

Thy Brother's Blood - Benjamin Edidin Scolnic - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Thy Brother's Blood - Benjamin Edidin Scolnic - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Through exploring the particular importance of the fraternal relationship among the dynasties of the Hellenistic world in Thy Brother''s Blood, Dr. Benjamin Scolnic demonstrates how adherence to or rejection of the "morality of kinship" literally changed the world. This in-depth book reviews fraternal relationships in the Bible and Greek and Roman mythology to create models for the falls of the Attalids of Pergamon and the Antigonids of Macedonia. The ancient writers from Rome to Jerusalem valued fraternal bonds and used fratricide as the symbol for internal dissension within nations. Using a focalized approach, Dr. Scolnic cautions that historians sometimes were so consumed with the metaphor of fraternity that they ignored the historical realities. He demonstrates this by providing a historical and moral context for the fall of one Judean dynasty, the Zadokite high priests, and for the rise and fall of the Hasmonaean dynasty, known to the world as the Maccabees.

Man and God - Xavier Zubiri - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Man and God - Xavier Zubiri - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Man and God is the first of three major works by Xavier Zubiri (1898-1983) on the subject of theology. All three books are posthumous publications, based on lectures given by Zubiri, a famous contemporary Spanish philosopher. Man and God is divided into three parts; the first part serving as an essential introduction to the core of the work. This section, together with the introductions by translators Joaquín Redondo and Dr. Thomas B. Fowler provide the reader with the necessary preparation to enjoy the philosophical riches of this book. Here, Zubiri suggests that God is transcendent in all things; therefore, by experiencing the world man has the fundamental experience of God. Translators Redondo, Fowler, and Dr. Nelson Orringer have sought to render the original text into natural and readable English while maintaining fidelity to the original work. This translation is the product of three experts in the thought of Zubiri, with the final revision given here collaboration between Dr. Fowler and Dr. Orringer.

Running Naked Through the Streets - Caramine White - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Running Naked Through the Streets - Caramine White - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Running Naked Through the Streets is an account of the year Dr. Caramine White lived in the former Communist country Slovakia, from August 2004 - May 2005. When Dr. White received a Fulbright Scholarship, she and an American literature professor from a Slovak university "exchanged" jobs. Dr. White lived in Banska Bystrica, a city of about 84,000 in central Slovakia. Although her students spoke English, very few of the townspeople did, and the living conditions were much different from those enjoyed in America. Running Naked Through the Streets, which refers to the utter helplessness and vulnerability she often felt, is neither an autobiography nor a travel book. Although Dr. White does include some interesting information for tourists, the crux of the book is how being so alone and dependent can encourage and even accelerate personal growth. It is told with a great deal of humor and honesty. Interwoven throughout the text are humorous essays recounting some of her bizarre adventures during the year, which range from belly dancing to marathon running, from inadvertently taking part in a Polish Confirmation ceremony to becoming the object of affection for a mentally challenged homeless man.

The Ontological Foundation of Ethics, Politics, and Law - Francesco Belfiore - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

The Ontological Foundation of Ethics, Politics, and Law - Francesco Belfiore - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

This extensive collection develops the philosophical content of sections from the previously published The Structure of the Mind (University Press of America, 2004). Dr. Belfiore begins from the basic ontological conception that considers the human ''mind'' or ''spirit'' as an evolving, conscious triad composed of intellect, sensitivity, and power, each exerting a selfish or moral activity. Through this approach the author develops new concepts about ethics, political philosophy, and the philosophy of law. Dr. Belfiore poses these and other concepts under the opinion that issues concerning human beings can only be discussed by referring to what humans are as ontological entities. Thus, the notions of good and norms of morality, law, and society are derived from the structure and function of the mind. It follows that the solutions Dr. Belfiore presents are the results of a discovery and not the consequence of a conscious choice. Otherwise stated, ethics, politics, and law are given an ontological foundation. For each topic considered, Dr. Belfiore shows how his thought can reinterpret the views of other philosophers. The result of this is an innovative and highly stimulating text, which is of interest to graduate students and scholars in the philosophical branches of ethics, politics, and law.

Continuity and Change - - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Continuity and Change - - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

This collection of essays was inspired by the desire to create a suitable tribute to Dr. Irving Greenberg. Dr. Greenberg has been one of the truly major figures in the American Jewish community for the past forty years. A community activist and a theologian of distinction, he has influenced not only the practical direction of Jewish life, especially through his work with the leadership of Jewish Federations throughout the country, but also the shape of contemporary Jewish thought through his writings on the Holocaust, the State of Israel, and traditional Jewish themes. The outstanding list of authors who have contributed to this volume, writing on central issues in traditional and modern Jewish thought and history, are a testimony to Dr. Greenberg''s repercussive presence and theological contribution. Those interested in the contemporary American Jewish community and the nature and shape of modern Jewish thought at the beginning of the new millennium will find this a valuable, thought-provoking addition to their libraries.

All contributions in this volume are original works by many of today''s leading scholars. Unlike most works on pre-modern world history, which follow a thesis over time, this approach suggests that fruitful avenues for comparative work become possible by focusing on a single point in time.

Adventures of Ojemba - Chukwuma J. Obiagwu - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Adventures of Ojemba - Chukwuma J. Obiagwu - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Adventures of Ojemba is the story of the Igbo people. In contrast to many historical narratives, Dr. Chukwuma J. Obiagwu chooses to avoid dwelling on any particular issue in history and it''s effect on the Igbo people. Rather, he provides the readers with a general overview of their culture, traditions, habits, and general life. Tracing the historical context and their beginnings, this book addresses major events faced by these people. It is inevitable that basic questions such as "who are the Igbo people?" provoke a plethora of theories, explanations, and questions. This study provides clear insight on what distinguishes the Igbo people from other neighboring peoples. It is a supplement to Dr. Elizabeth Isichie''s history text, The History of Igbo People, and compliments this text by providing more probable answers to the origins of these people. Dr. Obiagwu''s main theory proposes that the Igbo people are descendant of the black Jewish population. A common view of historians throughout time, Obiagwu thoroughly develops this argument through his assessment of the aspects of the Igbo people''s lives.

The Cambridge Platonists - - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

The Cambridge Platonists is written with students and novice theologians in mind. It provides context as well as description, while outlining the most representative ideas of the school with clarity and brevity. This introduction will meet the needs of many readers, but for those beginning a study of the works of the Cambridge Platonists, the Eight Letters of Dr. Antony Tuckney and Dr. Benjamin Whichcote not only provide a logical starting point, in that they present the most characteristic ideas of Whichcote—arguably, the Cambridge Platonists'' founding member—but also help to clarify what sets this school of religious thought apart from contemporary Puritan theology, as represented by Tuckney. This is the first complete edition of the Eight Letters since their original publication in 1753, now rendered accessible to readers without knowledge of classical languages.

The Way of the Didache - William Varner - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

The Way of the Didache - William Varner - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

In 1873, a copy of the long lost Didache was discovered in a library in Constantinople. Since its publication a decade later, this little book has attracted a large amount of scholarly attention due to the light its sheds on the beliefs and practices of the early Christians. Dr. William Varner has written this volume to familiarize readers with these past and present scholarly discussions. Dr. Varner offers his own analytical translation of the Didache and sets forth some fresh ideas about the book''s original purpose and its relationship to the New Testament. He also suggests how the message of this first Christian handbook can inform the church today. This is an accessible introduction, not only to an ancient Christian text, but also to how the earliest Christians responded to the challenge of their new lives.

Western and Chinese Arbitration - Arthur J. Gemmell - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Seasoned businesspeople, especially those engaged in international business, are keenly aware of the fact that no matter how pleasant their pre-arrangement business courtship has been post-arrangement disputes may occur. While some disputes may be settled amicably, other resolutions leave the parties unsatisfied due to prolonged and costly litigation. Dr. Arthur J. Gemmell asserts that an understanding of the international arbitral system will enrich and sustain business while serving as a viable avenue for commercial dispute resolution. To explore the arbitral system, Dr. Gemmell uses the Chinese and Western arbitral systems, past and present, in order to understand what can be accomplished from their examples and errors. The term ''arbitral chain'' refers to the linkage of one arbitral era to another. It is as essential term in the understanding of how successive eras built or modified the standards of arbitration on what had worked in the past.
