Download or read book Fundamentalism in the Modern World Vol 2 written by Ulrika Martensson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2011-06-30 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does religious fundamentalism operate in modern global society? This two-volume series analyses the dynamics of fundamentalism and its relationship to the modern state, the public sphere and globalisation. This second volume explores the links between fundamentalism and communication: the rise of fundamentalism as a mass media phenomenon, fundamentalist communication in the public sphere, national cultural identities and the rise of a 'global society'. Expert scholars in the field address specific contemporary and past fundamentalist movements that have emerged from within mainstream Islam, Christianity, Baha'ism, Hinduism, Judaism and Buddhism. This is an important study of an increasingly significant and virulent aspect of modern society, and will be essential reading in the fields of Religion, Politics, Communications and Media Studies.

This book was released on 2012-09-27 with total page 1065 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume IV of The Cambridge History of War offers a definitive new account of war in the most destructive period in human history. Opening with the massive conflicts that erupted in the mid nineteenth century in the US, Asia and Europe, leading historians trace the global evolution of warfare through 'the age of mass', 'the age of machine' and 'the age of management'. They explore how industrialization and nationalism fostered vast armies whilst the emergence of mobile warfare and improved communications systems made possible the 'total warfare' of the two World Wars. With military conflict regionalized after 1945 they show how guerrilla and asymmetrical warfare highlighted the limits of the machine and mass as well as the importance of the media in winning 'hearts and minds'. This is a comprehensive guide to every facet of modern war from strategy and operations to its social, cultural, technological and political contexts and legacies.
Download or read book A Cultural History of the Modern Age Vol 2 written by Egon Friedell and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second volume of Friedell's monumental A Cultural History of the Modern Age. A key figure in the flowering of Viennese culture between the two world wars, this three volume work is considered his masterpiece. The centuries covered in this second volume mark the victory of the scientifi c mind: in nature-research, language-research, politics, economics, war, even morality, poetry, and religion. All systems of thought produced in this century, either begin with the scientifi c outlook as their foundation or regard it as their highest and fi nal goal. Friedell claims three main streams pervade the eighteenth century: Enlightenment, Revolution, and Classicism. In ordinary use, by "Enlightenment" we mean an extreme rationalistic tendency of which preliminary stages were noted in the seventeenth century. Th e term "Classicism", is well understood. Under the term "Revolution" Friedell includes all movements directed against what has been dominant and traditional. Th e aims of such movements were remodeling the state and society, banning all esthetic canons, and dethronement of reason by sentiment, all in the name of the "Return to Nature." Th e Enlightenment tendency might be seen as laying the ground for an age of revolution. Th is second volume continues Friedell's dramatic history of the driving forces of the twentieth century.

Book excerpt: "[This book] is a contribution of considerable substance because it takes a holistic view of the field of folk music and the scholarship that has dealt with it." -- Bruno Nettl "... a praiseworthy combination of solid scholarship, penetrating discussion, and global relevance." -- Asian Folklore Studies "... successfully ties the history and development of folk music scholarship with contemporary concepts, issues, and shifts, and which treats varied folk musics of the world cultures within the rubric of folklore and ethnomusicology with subtle generalizations making sense to serious minds... " -- Folklore Forum "... [this book] challenges many carefully-nurtured sacred cows. Bohlman has executed an intellectual challenge of major significance by successfully organizing a welter of unruly data and ideas into a single, appropriately complex but coherent, system." -- Folk Music Journal Bohlman examines folk music as a genre of folklore from a broadly cross-cultural perspective and espouses a more expansive view of folk music, stressing its vitality in non-Western cultures as well as Western, in the present as well as the past.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Music of the Modern World, Vol. 1 of 2: Illustrated in the Lives and Works of the Greatest Modern Musicians and in Reproductions of Famous Paintings, Etc Scheffer, Eugene Delacroix, and Paul Delaroche, members of circles where music held a supreme interest. Music is SO nearly allied to painting and sculpture that a picture is Often a better guide to the meaning of a piece than any words - even words Of poetry. The pictorial suggestions Offered in our music pages are only suggestions, but as such may prove stimulating to the imagination of the pianist and singer, especially when they express motion or grace in repose. They Should not be taken too seriously. It is hardly necessary to add that the music OF the modern world is in no sense an encyclopaedia. Quite as many great artists are unmentioned in its pages as find a place there, quite as many very great composers remain unquoted as are repre sented in its music pages. In the case Of Wagner and Berlioz, the narrow excerpt of a melody, or a Short transcription from works so massive, grand, and full of detail, affords no example Of the genius or style Of those immense contours, whereas the tuneful num bers of Rossini, Gounod, or even Meyerbeer are easily separated from their original environment because they are complete in themselves. Much of the music selected is cameo-like in its dimensions and finish, because only cameos could be contained in SO small a compass as the number of pages at our disposal. The editors have collected a group of melodies that will never become Old while civilization endures. Those culled from Russia, Bohemia, and Hungary are as yet scarcely known in America; they will sur prise as much by their congeniality to American temperament as by their exquisite fresh ness. The illustrations of Hunyady Laszlo, by Pennell, are the fruit Of a season's wan dering in Hungary in search of gipsy music. It is needless to say that the author of the great national opera Of Hungary was not a gipsy, and that the patriotic themes that form the context Of the opera are of the purest Hungarian character. Special acknowledgments are due to Gunther co. For the care with which they have type-set the piano music. We believe that such feats as the pedal phrasing in Vogel als Prophet have never before been accomplished with music type.

Download or read book A Patriot s History of the Modern World Vol I written by Larry Schweikart and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-10-11 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “America’s story from 1898 to 1945 is nothing less than the triumph of American exceptionalism over liberal progressivism, despite a few temporary victories by the latter.” Conservative historian Larry Schweikart has won wide acclaim for his number one New York Times bestseller, A Patriot’s History of the United States. It proved that, contrary to the liberal biases in countless other history books, America had not really been founded on racism, sexism, greed, and oppression. Schweikart and coauthor Michael Allen restored the truly great achievements of America’s patriots, founders, and heroes to their rightful place of honor. Now Schweikart and coauthor Dave Dougherty are back with a new perspective on America’s half-century rise to the center of the world stage. This all-new volume corrects many of the biases that cloud the way people view the Treaty of Versailles, the Roaring Twenties, the Crash of 1929, the deployment of the atomic bomb, and other critical events in global history. Beginning with the Spanish-American War— which introduced the United States as a global military power that could no longer be ignored—and continuing through the end of World War II, this book shows how a free, capitalist nation could thrive when put face-to-face with tyrannical and socialist powers. Schweikart and Dougherty narrate the many times America proved its dominance by upholding the principles on which it was founded—and struggled on the rare occasions when it strayed from those principles. The authors make a convincing case that America has constantly been a force for good in the world, improving standards of living, introducing innovations, guaranteeing liberty, and offering opportunities to those who had none elsewhere. They also illustrate how the country ascended to superpower status at the same time it was figuring out its own identity. While American ideals were defeating tyrants abroad, a constant struggle against progressivism was being waged at home, leading to the stumbles of the Great Depression, the New Deal, and the attack on Pearl Harbor. Despite this rocky entrance on the world stage, it was during this half century that the world came to embrace all things American, from its innovations and businesses to its political system and popular culture. The United States began to define what the rest of the world could emulate as the new global ideal. A Patriot’s History of the Modern World provides a new perspective on our extraordinary past—and offers lessons we can apply to preserve American exceptionalism today and tomorrow.
Download or read book The Music of the Modern World Vol 1 of 2 written by Fanny Morris Smith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Music of the Modern World, Vol. 1 of 2: Illustrated in the Lives and Works of the Greatest Modern Musicians and in Reproductions of Famous Paintings, Etc The Music of the Modern World originated in a desire to create a book which should possess a distinct flavour of the life in which musicians feel, think, and act a life in which temperament, imagination, and suffering rule supreme a life of incessant mental activity and exertion, prosecuted too often under the burden of care, anxiety, and privation. It is the province of music to give the most precise and yet vivid expression possible to all the feelings and emotions incident to human life. As nations and individuals differ widely in temperament, the world of music in which they express themselves is full of divergent theories, instincts, and idiosyncrasies. The Music of the Modern World has sought to open the door of this intense and passionate musical life to the lovers of music. No theory, no school of art, or national animus has been prosecuted at the expense of rival theories, schools, or nationalities. On the contrary, the partisan known to be most enthusiastic in his cause has been chosen to exploit each special subject; each writers name makes him and no one else responsible for his opinions advanced, and nothing has been altered or softened to meet the personal views of the editors. Thus, when brought together, the various articles give a birds-eye view of the musical life as a whole, as it is being lived to-day, and a hint of the causes which have been at work to make it what it is. The many pens that have been busy in the preparation of The Music of the Modern World are without exception those of practical and often very famous musicians, artists, and critics. Everything contained in its pages is the utterance of people who live in music and by music. Even the artists whose paintings are reproduced in its pages usually turned out on investigation to be passionate lovers of music, and, like Ary Scheffer, Eugene Delacroix, and Paul Delaroche, members of circles where music held a supreme interest.
