Mary Fabyan Windeatt presents the powerful story of the famous life and miracles of St. Benedict for the Vision Book series of saints for youth. Known as the Father of Western Monasticism, St. Benedict played a major role in the Christinization and civilization of post-Roman Europe in the sixth century.

Nach dem zerstörerischsten aller Kriege ordnet sich die Welt von Grund auf neu. Aber auch neue Konflikte entstehen: So eint in Indien Moslems und Hindus allein der Hass auf die britischen Kolonialherren, in China greifen die Kommunisten nach der Macht, und in Palästina nimmt eine bis heute andauernde blutige Auseinandersetzung ihren Anfang. Japan wird die Demokratie verordnet, während in Europa weiterhin Vertreibung und Gewalt an der Tagesordnung sind. Zwei Weltmächte steigen auf, die fortan die Welt in Einflusssphären teilen: die USA und die Sowjetunion. Temporeich erzählt Victor Sebestyen von Politikern und Revolutionären, von Churchill, Stalin, Truman, Mao oder Gandhi, und von globalen Entwicklungen, die bis heute bestimmend sind. Sein Schauplatz ist die ganze Welt; er betrachtet oft vernachlässigte Ereignisse wie etwa jene in der Türkei oder Aserbaidschan, wo die ersten Stellvertreterkriege zu eskalieren drohen. Und wer weiß schon, wie die Amerikaner und Briten hinter den Kulissen ...

Introduction Bay Island Books didn't start out as a Literacy Program. Its sole purpose was to collect 100 books for a small, K-3rd grade school on the Island of Guanaja. Along with Roatan and Utila, they make up the Bay Islands of Honduras. Great ideas, however, can quickly develop lives of their own if you let them. We decided to let it... and the last couple of years have been amazing!! We went on to support all of the schools on Guanaja and help establish Guanaja's first Public Library, but our efforts didn't end there. We quickly branched out to Guanaja's sister Islands of Roatan and Utila. Providing books for schools, libraries, and children's homes has been our focus, but we routinely find new projects to support throughout the Bay Islands. Since May of 2014, we have provided 50,318 books for our Literacy Projects in the Bay Islands. Education is the key to addressing many of the issues that face the Bay Islands and Education begins with Literacy. Books Bo...

The central purpose of this book is to offer an account of crucial intellectual challenges to traditional British theology, challenges that provoked wide-ranging discussions and decisively shaped British theology. In several instances, they resulted in rather fundamental reconceptions of traditional doctrine and belief. Not all of the conclusions reached in these debates proved enduring, and some efforts to accommodate theology to advances in the sciences proved spurious or unnecessary. Yet even the ill-fated forays and speculations were efforts to respond to new, genuine questions that required answers. Livingston, the dean of Victorian religious history, approaches this subject from a new perspective. By 1860, the religious discussion in Britain had broadened significantly in two ways. First, the examination of critical theological issues had moved outside the bounds of the established Church of England and its three dominant parties. The discussion now engaged highly respected Roman...

The Challenge Built to Last, the defining management study of the nineties, showed how great companies triumph over time and how long-term sustained performance can be engineered into the DNA of an enterprise from the very beginning. But what about the company that is not born with great DNA? How can good companies, mediocre companies, even bad companies achieve enduring greatness? The Study For years, this question preyed on the mind of Jim Collins. Are there companies that defy gravity and convert long-term mediocrity or worse into long-term superiority? And if so, what are the universal distinguishing characteristics that cause a company to go from good to great? The Standards Using tough benchmarks, Collins and his research team identified a set of elite companies that made the leap to great results and sustained those results for at least fifteen years. How great? After the leap, the good-to-great companies generated cumulative stock returns that beat the general stock market b...

This volume makes two essays by Henry Corbin, the eminent French scholar of Islam, available in English for the first time. Although his primary interest was the esoteric tradition of Islam, Corbin was also a lifelong student of the theological works of Emanuel Swedenborg. The first essay, "Mundus Imaginalis, or The Imaginary and the Imaginal," clarifies Corbin's use of the term he coined, mundus imaginalis, or "the imaginal world." This important concept appears in both Swedenborgian and esoteric Islamic spirituality. The second piece, "Comparative Spiritual Hermeneutics," compares the revelation of the internal sense of the sacred boks of two distinct religions, Christianity and Islam.

No philosopher has held a higher opinion of art than Hegel, yet nor was any so profoundly pessimistic about its prospects - despite living in the German golden age of Goethe, Mozart and Schiller. For if the artists of classical Greece could find the perfect fusion of content and form, modernity faced complicating - and ultimately disabling - questions. Christianity, with its code of unworldliness, had compromised the immediacy of man's relationship with reality, and ironic detachment had alienated him from his deepest feelings. Hegel's Introductory Lectures on Aesthetics were delivered in Berlin in the 1820s and stand today as a passionately argued work that challenged the ability of art to respond to the modern world.
