Book excerpt: The Republic of Latvia is a fascinating mirror of the development of European democratic culture and reflects both the rise of democracy in Eastern Europe after the end of World War I and its deterioration into authoritarianism in the early 1930s. The regime, which lasted for only six years (1934-1940), was shaped by the controversial figure, Karlis Ulmanis. This archive-based study illustrates the development of authoritarianism in Latvia, shows controversies and similarities, and places the regime's leader in the international context of European authoritarian culture.

Wyndham is a compelling, true spiritual adventure story that takes place in a Japanese prison camp on Java during the Second World War.

Many true stories have been told, such as "Unbroken," and this one is not only true, but enters a new dimension of war experience. The spiritual dimension the author had recourse to is what sets this account apart from all others. The spiritual adventure continues after the war with issues of employment and income being solved through the author's spiritual resources. The account of ANZAC Day alone will astound and move you to tears! A must-read war story!
Download or read book Ultimate Freedom written by Keith Lehrer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-08-18 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Freedom of choice is the subject. "How dare you!" challenged Greta Thunberg. The members of the Climate Summit had freedom of choice to act on the scientific evidence she presented rather than on personal desire. What is the difference between acting on desire and acting on what you prefer because of scientific acceptance? There is a form of preference that is an ultimate explanation of choice. I call it a power preference. It is a preference that loops back on to itself, a fixed-point vector, and suffices to explain human agency. The power preference includes scientific explanation and is compatible with determinism"--

Download or read book Freedom Unlimited written by Jeffrey S. Hocking and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2010-10-18 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How are we to understand the freedom for which Christ has set us free (Gal 5:1)? Could it be that we have barely glimpsed what this might mean? Most theological accounts of freedom frame the discussion in terms of heteronomy or autonomy. In the Protestant tradition, Calvinists are known for championing the former and Arminians are credited with advocating the latter. More recently, open theists, in significantly modifying the Arminian paradigm, argue that neither tradition provides a satisfying account of human freedom and propose a more libertarian form of autonomy. This book joins the debate at this point, not in order to take sides, but to suggest a theology that can get beyond (not between) the heteronomy and autonomy that seem to exhaust the present theological options. Clark Pinnock serves as the chief protagonist because of his role as a leading figure in the "Openness of God" movement. Because his own development can be described as a pilgrimage from Calvinism to Arminianism to open theism, the present work is able to offer its sympathetic critique in the form of an invitation: that we continue to journey in the spirit of openness beyond both heteronomy and autonomy towards a view of divine and human freedom that is covenantal, participatory, and unlimited.
Download or read book Changing Fate Through Reincarnation written by Gerald Sze and published by Hillcrest Publishing Group. This book was released on 2012-11-30 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In "Changing Fate Through Reincarnation," author Gerald Sze explores the theory of reincarnation connectivity. He provides a philosophical survey of the implications of reincarnation as they pertain to human responsibility, freedom, karma, fate and spirituality. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach, the book challenges us to re-evaluate what we are doing at any moment, to re-think what is our purpose in life, and ultimately, to re-live our very existence! While "Changing Fate Through Reincarnation" delves into many philosophical underpinnings behind our thirst for "Who Am I?" and "What is Fate?" it is also a practical self-help book, using the simple technique of instant self-reflection to raise readers' awareness of their own thoughts and emotions for self-understanding and growth.

Download or read book Paradoxical Life written by Andreas Wagner and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2009-09-01 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What can a fingernail tell us about the mysteries of creation? In one sense, a nail is merely a hunk of mute matter, yet in another, it's an information superhighway quite literally at our fingertips. Every moment, streams of molecular signals direct our cells to move, flatten, swell, shrink, divide, or die. Andreas Wagner's ambitious new book explores this hidden web of unimaginably complex interactions in every living being. In the process, he unveils a host of paradoxes underpinning our understanding of modern biology, contradictions he considers gatekeepers at the frontiers of knowledge. Though we tend to think of concepts in such mutually exclusive pairs as mind-matter, self-other, and nature-nurture, Wagner argues that these opposing ideas are not actually separate. Indeed, they are as inextricably connected as the two sides of a coin. Through a tour of modern biological marvels, Wagner illustrates how this paradoxical tension has a profound effect on the way we define the world around us. Paradoxical Life is thus not only a unique account of modern biology. It ultimately serves a radical--and optimistic--outlook for humans and the world we help create.

Download or read book Theorizing Crime and Deviance written by Steve Hall and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2012-04-20 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Anything that takes away from the terminally off key karaoke of so much that passes for theory in criminology is to be welcomed, and this is a fine effort to connect the study of crime and control to an innovative set of theoretical possibilities. A rip-roaring read that slaughters some sacred cows while throwing the odd baby out with the bath water." - Richard Hobbs, University of Essex "Boldly tackles big questions that the discipline has lately been unable or unwilling to confront. Steve Hall′s compelling and original book should help to restart a crucial discussion about the connections between crime and an increasingly volatile and predatory global social order." - Elliott Currie, University of California, Irvine "This erudite and original book synthesizes a dazzling array of thought and evidence to interrogate criminological theory′s dominant conservative and liberal perspectives... This reviewer is left with a sense of criminological theory′s tiredness of intellectual ambition and scope, while Hall′s book leaves a sense of rejuvenation and excitement." - Colin Webster, British Journal of Criminology "A beautifully written, accessible and yet theoretically rigorous piece of writing that should be read by everyone interested in crime, law and social order. The book should be read with an open mind and as a genuine response to the suffocating inability of criminology to free itself from the century old slanging-match between its liberal and conservative wings." - Simon Winlow, University of York Steve Hall uses cutting-edge philosophy and social theory to analyse patterns of crime and harm and illuminate contemporary criminological issues. He provides a fresh, relevant critique of the philosophical and political underpinnings of criminological theory and the theoretical canon′s development during the twentieth century, and applies new Continental philosophy to the criminological problem. Unmatched in its sophistication yet written in a clear, accessible style, this dynamic and highly engaging book is essential reading for all students, researchers and academics working in criminology, sociology, social policy, politics and the social sciences in general.
