Download or read book The Coming of the Book written by Lucien Febvre and published by Verso. This book was released on 1997 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Books, and the printed word more generally, are aspects of modern life that are all too often taken for granted. Yet the emergence of the book was a process of immense historical importance and heralded the dawning of the epoch of modernity. In this much praised history of that process, Lucien Febvre and Henri-Jean Martin mesh together economic and technological history, sociology and anthropology, as well as the study of modes of consciousness, to root the development of the printed word in the changing social relations and ideological struggles of Western Europe.
Download or read book Coming of Age written by Deborah Blum and published by Thomas Dunne Books. This book was released on 2017-07-11 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Coming of Age focuses on five years in Mead's young life when she began to question the traditional attitudes toward sex, courtship and marriage that dominated the early 20th century. The story begins in 1921, when Mead is a young woman of twenty and a student at Barnard College in New York City. Conventional enough to accept the role society has handed to her, and defiant enough to rise up against it, she struggles to find her own path. Life begins to change as she experiences new friendships and many firsts, including marriage and an affair. In 1925, following her interest in anthropology, Mead takes a step that shocks both family and colleagues. She decides to go alone to Samoa to study how girls in this very different culture mature into women. There on a tiny island in the South Pacific, with an ocean between her and the people she loves, she begins to understand how the invisible chains of society can imprison one's body and mind. Mead's voyage of self-discovery is both painful, exciting and enlightening. She returns from her fieldwork ready to do something no woman before her has dared to do: write with frankness and clarity about the sexual awakening of young girls. And America, it turns out, is ready to hear what she has to say. Drawing on letters, diaries and memoirs, Blum reconstructs the colorful and dramatic life of one of the most provocative thinkers of the 20th century"--

Download or read book The Coming of the Body written by Herve Juvin and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2010-06-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this startling new work, Hervé Juvin argues that developments in medicine and science are redefining what it means to be human. Living longer than ever before, and yet increasingly obsessed with longevity and youth, the people of the Western world face an existence disconnected from need, suffering and time—and they are losing their moral compass in the process. New industries have sprung up to promote plastic surgery, sex-free reproduction, fitness fads and bizarre diets. Behind this commercial activity is an ideology sympathetic to both eugenics and euthanasia, and dreaming of immortality. In this radically changed world, young people inhabit a digitalized, virtual environment at a far remove from the vital experiences of the body. Juvin’s central message is a sinister paradox: what communism set out to do, and disastrously failed to achieve, capitalism is in the process of realizing—the discredited messianic goal of reinventing humanity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contents of this book are all based on the true story of an experience that happened to two ordinary people, a story that truly seems unbelievable. It is a story of two people who met in midlife, fell in love, and got married. Now all this seems to be pretty ordinary, but in this case, their coming together was anything but ordinary. The beginning of this marriage triggered a most unusual eventan event that changed their beliefs and lives forever. This is a story of a person whose door to the next dimension was involuntarily opened just as she was about to be married. This event not only caused her to come into contact with a great spiritual entity but also transformed her into a great medium who could contact spiritual entities who had passed from this earth into another existence. These spiritual entities could contact her with a clarity that defies explanation. The opening of this psychic door was not done by accident but had a very deliberate purpose. This purpose came with a warning and at the same time came with a call for help.

Download or read book WHAT DOES THE BIBLE REALLY SAY ABOUT THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST written by Edward D. Andrews and published by Christian Publishing House. This book was released on 2014-11-05 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The information herein is based on the disciples coming to Jesus privately, saying, “Tell us, (1) when will these things be, and (2) what will be the sign of your coming, and (3) of the end of the age?” (Matthew 24:3) These questions refer to the end of an age, which was referred to in Matthew 24:1-2,1 Jesus came out from the temple and was going away when his disciples came up to point out the temple buildings to him. 2 And he said to them, “Do you not see all these things? [the temple buildings] Truly I say to you, not one stone here will be left upon another, which will not be torn down.” In Matthew 24:3-28, Jesus is referring to the end of the Jewish age, which was to culminate in 66-70 C.E., with the desolation and destruction of Jerusalem and its temple. The disciples’ questions were based on a presumption the end of the temple to them, equaled the end of the age, encompassing Christ’s return, the judgment of the wicked and the setting up of his kingdom. Verses 3-28 are Jesus answering their question. In his words, he does address what will lead up to the end of the Jewish age, but what about the end of wicked humankind and the ruler of the world, the age (era) of Satan, and his second coming, Jesus’ kingdom, and his thousand year reign. We have to understand the end of the Jewish age as well, because all prophecy has a meaning to those who hear it, which will help us understand if it could be applicable to us. In conservative, evangelical, grammatical-historical interpretation, an author has only one referent for his words, as two referents would result in two meanings. Our position is that there is only one meaning of what an author meant by his words. This may sound complex now, but it will be unfolded more in later chapters, in a very easy to understand way. In chapters 1 and 2, we must address why Jesus is saying there would be an end of the Jewish age. In chapter 3, we will take a deep look at the signs that establish the great tribulation is closing in, and when is it time to flee. In chapter 4, we will go over the signs of the end of the Jewish age. In chapter 5, we will walk through the events leading up to the end of the Jewish age from 66 – 70 C.E. In chapter 6, we will cover the second coming of Jesus where the reader will get the answers as to whether verses 3-28 apply to his second coming. We will close out with chapter 7, and how we should understand the signs, and how we do not want to be led astray, just as Jesus warned even some of the chosen ones would be misled. We will also address what comes after the end.

Download or read book Coming of Age in Times of Uncertainty written by Harry Blatterer and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2007 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Adulthood is taken for granted. It connotes the end of childhood, the resolution to the "storm and stress" period of adolescence. This conception is strongly entrenched in the sociology of youth and the sociology of the life course as well as in the policy arena. At the same time, adulthood itself remains unarticulated; journey's end remains conceptually fixed and theoretically uncontested. Adulthood, then, is both central to the social imagination and neglected as an area of sociological investigation, something that has been noted by sociologists over the last four decades. Going beyond the overwhelmingly psychological literature, this book draws on original qualitative research and theories of social recognition and thus presents a first step towards filling an important gap in our understanding of the meaning of adulthood."--pub. desc.
