Book The Published Writings of Wilbur and Orville Wright

Download or read book The Published Writings of Wilbur and Orville Wright written by Peter L. Jakab and published by Smithsonian Institution. This book was released on 2016-06-21 with total page 541 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time, nearly seventy of Wilbur and Orville Wright's published writings are brought together in a single, annotated reference. Spanning the decades from the brothers' turn-of-the-century experiments with gliders until Orville's death in 1948, the articles describe the design of their aircraft, early test flights, and camp life at Kitty Hawk. Because Wilbur's sudden death in 1912 ended any hope that the Wrights would produce a book of their own, the articles collected in this volume are their only published words.

Book The Catholic Invasion of China

Download or read book The Catholic Invasion of China written by D. E. Mungello and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The culmination of D. E. Mungello’s forty years of study on Sino-Western history, this book provides a compelling and nuanced history of Roman Catholicism in modern China. As the author vividly shows, when China declined into a two-century cycle of poverty, powerlessness, and humiliation, the attitudes of Catholic missionaries became less accommodating than their famous Jesuit predecessors. He argues that “invasion” accurately characterizes the dominant attitude of Catholic missionaries (especially the French Jesuits) in their attempt to introduce Western religion and culture into China during the nineteenth and early twentieth century. Elements of this attitude lingered until the end of the last century, when many Chinese felt that Pope John Paul II’s canonization of 120 martyrs reflected the imposition of an imperialist mentality. In this important work, Mungello corrects a major misreading of modern Chinese history by arguing that the growth of an indigenous Catholic church in the twentieth century transformed the negative aspects of the “invasion” into a positive Chinese religious force.

Book Ancestors  Virgins    Friars

  • Author : Eugenio Menegon
  • Publisher : Harvard University Press
  • Release : 2009
  • ISBN : 9780674035966
  • Pages : 488 pages

Download or read book Ancestors Virgins Friars written by Eugenio Menegon and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the sixteenth century, European missionaries brought a foreign and global religion to China. Converts then transformed this new religion into a local one. Focusing on the still-active Catholic communities of Fuan county in northeast Fujian, this project addresses three main questions. Why did people convert? Second, how did converts and missionaries transform a global and foreign religion into a local religion? Third, what does Christianity's localization in Fuan tell us about the relationship between late imperial Chinese society and religion? The study's implications extend beyond the issue of Christianity in China to the wider fields of religious and social history and the early modern history of global intercultural relations. The book suggests that Christianity became part of a pre-existing pluralistic, local religious space. The author argues that we underestimate late imperial society's tolerance for "heterodoxy." The view from Fuan offers an original account of how a locality created its own religious culture in Ming-Qing China.
