Book Zoroastrianism

    Book Details:
  • Author : Jenny Rose
  • Publisher : Bloomsbury Publishing
  • Release : 2014-04-02
  • ISBN : 0857735489
  • Pages : 240 pages

Download or read book Zoroastrianism written by Jenny Rose and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-04-02 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zoroastrianism is one of the world's great ancient religions. In present-day Iran, significant communities of Zoroastrians (who take their name from the founder of the faith, the remarkable religious reformer Zoroaster) still practise the rituals and teach the moral precepts that once undergirded the officially state-sanctioned faith of the mighty Sasanian empire. Beyond Iran, the Zoroastrian disapora is significant especially in India, where the Gujarati-speaking community of emigrants from post-Sasanian Iran call themselves 'Parsis'. But there are also significant Zoroastrian communities to be found elsewhere, such as in the USA, Britain and Canada, where western cultural contexts have shaped the religion in intriguing ways and directions. This new, thorough and wide-ranging introduction will appeal to anyone interested in discovering more about the faith that bequeathed the contrasting words 'Magi' and 'magic', and whose adherents still live according to the code of 'Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds.' The central Zoroastrian concept that human beings are continually faced with a choice between the path of 'good' and 'evil', represented by the contrasting figures of Ahura Mazda and Ahriman, inspired thinkers as diverse as Voltaire, Mozart and Nietzsche. Jenny Rose shows why Zoroastrianism remains one of the world's most inspiring and perennially fascinating systems of ethics and belief. 'Jenny Rose's lively and engaging account comprises a very readable, well informed survey of Zoroastrianism and its history. The book is a pleasure to read throughout, and the author's writing style is markedly beautiful, placing her very much within Mary Boyce's literary tradition. Rose has read widely round the subject, engaging with important primary and secondary sources and rendering her thorough treatment of Zoroastrianism fully up-to-date. I particularly welcomed her valuable discussion of Zoroastrianism in Central Asia. All in all, the book is a fine example of considered synthesis and compression. This is a book one wants to read from beginning to end without putting it down. It will find a warm welcome from students of the subject and their teachers.' - Almut Hintze, Zartoshty Professor of Zoroastrianism, SOAS, University of London

Book The Murder of Joe White

    Book Details:
  • Author : Erik M. Redix
  • Publisher : Michigan State University Press
  • Release : 2014-09-01
  • ISBN : 9781611861457
  • Pages : 0 pages

Download or read book The Murder of Joe White written by Erik M. Redix and published by Michigan State University Press. This book was released on 2014-09-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1894 Wisconsin game wardens Horace Martin and Josiah Hicks were dispatched to arrest Joe White, an Ojibwe ogimaa (chief), for hunting deer out of season and off-reservation. Martin and Hicks found White and made an effort to arrest him. When White showed reluctance to go with the wardens, they started beating him; he attempted to flee, and the wardens shot him in the back, fatally wounding him. Both Martin and Hicks were charged with manslaughter in local county court, and they were tried by an all-white jury. A gripping historical study, The Murder of Joe White contextualizes this event within decades of struggle of White’s community at Rice Lake to resist removal to the Lac Courte Oreilles Reservation, created in 1854 at the Treaty of La Pointe. While many studies portray American colonialism as defined by federal policy, The Murder of Joe White seeks a much broader understanding of colonialism, including the complex role of state and local governments as well as corporations. All of these facets of American colonialism shaped the events that led to the death of Joe White and the struggle of the Ojibwe to resist removal to the reservation.

Book Benares Illustrated

Download or read book Benares Illustrated written by James Prinsep and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If ever there has been an unsung genius, it is James Prinsep. Born in 1799, he had a short life of only forty years, dying in 1840. And yet, considering his wide variety of interests and his seminal contributions in many of these areas, it can, with some confidence, be stated that he was one of the greatest geniuses born in human history. Thus, he was at the same time a physicist, a chemist, an anthropologist, a geologist, a meteorologist, a numismatist, an epigraphist, a town-planner, a cartographer and an architect and one may not have exhausted the list. Actually, his one achievement, that of deciphering the Brahmi script, through which India and the world came to know of that unique figure in world history Emperor Ashoka would have entitled him to a place among the greats of intellectual history. And when one considers that James deciphered not one, but two ancient scripts Brahmi and Kharoshthi through which was revealed the existence of a whole line of Indo-Scythian kings, one stands in awe of the man. But among all these varied interests, it was Benares, which was his passion. He spent only ten years here, but in this short span, considering his work, one can say that no individual contributed more to this holy and ancient city than James Prinsep. For consider these: he was the first to determine its latitude and longitude, the first to carry out an authentic census; and the first to construct a bridge over the river Karmanasa, a feat which had defied engineers and architects for nearly a century. He was also the person to lay the underground drainage system one that still serves the city. As a family memoir says: to extend the catalogue to a detail of the roads, bridges, drains and other works of every variety of description (in Benares), which were put in hand and completed would fatigue the readera. Amidst all this hectic activity, one can almost picture him sitting on a winter afternoon on one of the ghats, with the river (which he fondly calls our Ganga) flowing quietly by, looking around and then conceiving of this magnificent work Benares Illustrated. As you turn these pages, you not only travel with him from ghat to ghat, but also participate though in a limited way, in the life of the city. One can only marvel at the three dimensional portrayal of the various sites and the play of light and shade in these marvellous sketches. With this edition, one hopes that James will also come to occupy a place among the great artists of his age. This volume is further enhanced by a write-up entitled James Prinsep and Benares by O.P.Kejariwal, Considered an authority on James Prinsep, his write-up is based on material which has not been available previously. The present volume also has nine Appendices comprising articles which Prinsep wrote while in Benares. Included among these is the Benares Directory reproduced here in full and which lists all the important families of Benares in Prinsep's time. Some of the present generation, in all probability, will be able to find their ancestors included in this Directory.

Book Human Security

  • Publisher : University of Toronto Press
  • Release : 1966-12-15
  • ISBN : 1442633816
  • Pages : 214 pages

Download or read book Human Security written by W.E. Blatz and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1966-12-15 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During his lifetime, W.E. Blatz was so much occupied with the development of the University of Toronto’s Institute of Child Study that he was able to devote little time to writing. This is his first book to appear in twenty-one years, and his first complete exposition of his famous Theory of Security. The Theory of Security is radically different from the theories promulgated by Freudian psychologists. Whereas Freudian personality theory is based on the notion of “unconscious,” an entity that is only indirectly observable, the Theory of Security derives from the observation of the conscious state in all its manifestations. Dr. Blatz thus makes use of both empirical observations and the results of introspection, and, as might be expected, some of his conclusions run counter to those reached in much current psychological discussion. But proof of the forcible influence of the theory and its author may be found in the impressive number of books and articles already published by Dr. Blatz’s associates at the Institute of Child Study, applying the theory to the practical problems of psychological observation and therapy. It is fitting that the man whose work has generated so much fruitful research by others in this field should at last have set down in book form the fundamental principles that guided them.
