For an ancient enemy has returned to the darkness under St Paul's Cathedral, bent on reigniting a centuries-old war.

Download or read book The SON S City Reentry Management Systems written by Victor Ramsey and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title of this work "The SON'S City Reentry Management Systems" is the result of viewing it as a lighted path for those who have been subjected to darkness in their life due to addiction to alcohol and other drugs and have been victims of frequent trips to penal institutions and constant use and abuse of said substances. The word SON'S refers to the Lord. The balance of the title is indicative of the knowledge that Jesus loved the city and that much of His ministry was founded there according to this author. The play on words SON'S versus sun's is to infer that the light produced by the sun is not comparable to the light induced in each of us by the Light of our life. This light is on the path that can lead one to successfully entering a life void of the pitfalls of those that keep one in the revolving door in and out of both addictions to drugs and prison.

Download or read book Prayer in the City written by Patrick A. Desplat and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2014-03-31 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume envisions social practices surrounding mosques, shrines and public spaces in urban contexts as a window on the diverse ways in which Muslims in different regional and historical settings imagine, experience, and inhabit places and spaces as »sacred«. Unlike most studies on Muslim communities, this volume focuses on cultural, material and sensuous practices and urban everyday experience. Drawing on a range of analytical perspectives, the contributions examine spatial practices in Muslim societies from an interdisciplinary perspective, an approach which has been widely neglected both in Islamic studies and social sciences.

Download or read book Urbanization in Vietnam written by Gisele Bousquet and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-09-16 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most studies on urbanisation focus on the move of rural people to cities and the impact this has, both on the cities to which the people have moved, and on the rural communities they have left. This book, on the other hand, considers the impact on rural communities of the physical expansion of cities. Based on extensive original research over a long period in one settlement, a rural commune which over the course of the last two decades has become engulfed by Hanoi’s urban spread, the book explores what happens when village people become urbanites or city dwellers – when agriculture is abandoned, population density rises, the value of land increases, people have to make a living in the city, and the dynamics of family life, including gender relations, are profoundly altered. This book charts these developments over time, and sets urbanisation in Vietnam in the wider context of urbanisation in Southeast Asia and Asia more generally.

Download or read book Plato s Invisible Cities written by Adi Ophir and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-09-10 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an original and detailed reading of Plato's Republic, one of the most influential philosophical works in the emergence of Western philosophy. The author discusses the Republic in terms of discursive events and political acts. Plato's act is placed in the context of a politico-discursive crisis in Athens at the end of the fifth and the beginning of the fourth century B.C that gave rise to the dialogue's primary question, that of justice. The originality of Dr. Ophir lies in the way he reconstructs the Republic's different spatial settings - utopian, mythical, dramatic and discursive - using them as the main thread of his interpretation. Against the background of Plato's critique of the organisation of civic-space in the Greek polis, the author relates the spatial settings in the Plato text to each other. This provides a basis for a re-examination of the relationship between philosophy and politics, which Plato's work advocates, and which it actually enacted.

Download or read book Alexander the Great written by Ian Worthington and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-10 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alexander the Great conquered territories on a superhuman scale and established an empire that stretched from Greece to India. He spread Greek culture and education throughout his empire, and was worshipped as a living god by many of his subjects. But how great is a leader responsible for the deaths on tens of thousands of people? A ruler who prefers constant warring to administering the peace? A man who believed he was a god, who murdered his friends, and recklessly put his soldiers lives at risk? Ian Worthington delves into Alexander's successes and failures, his paranoia, the murders he engineered, his megalomania, and his constant drinking. It presents a king corrupted by power and who, for his own personal ends, sacrificed the empire his father had fought to establish.
