Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stunning and revelatory oral history of Queen Elizabeth II and her reign. There seems an unquenchable fascination with the British royal family on both sides of the Atlantic, borne out by the popularity of The Crown on Netflix, the spotlight on the Sussexes and Cambridges, and the media attention on the death of Prince Philip. These detailed interviews and insightful accounts range from the very early years of her reign to Prince Phillip’s death in 2021. Covering the shocking death of her father and the adjustment required of a newly married couple as well as the turmoil of the later years and her grandchildren’s families. This lavishly produced hardback with rarely seen color photos paints a full, detailed and sympathetic portrait of a life lived in service. Featuring interviews from diverse sources from private staff at Buckingham Palace and family friends, to international figures like Nelson Mandela, it contains a broad spectrum of views on Queen Elizabeth II—her story and her personality and how her life has intersected and impacted others.

Download or read book Contextuality in Reformed Europe written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-11-15 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The scope of this volume is how churches experience themselves and their mission in their context. The discussions in this volume provide ample material to substantiate the claim that the church should not be an ecclesia incurvata in se ipsa, (a church curved into itself) but welcoming and directed not only to personal needs but to social needs as well—but not bound to what people often feel the needs are and delving deeper to the real roots of sin and selfishness, be it personal, social or national. Contextualization in itself is part of the mission of the churches, but it is on the edge: should the church adapt to its context and lose both its identity and witness or should it find a way between the Scylla of easy adaptation to the changing contexts of this world that is passing and the Charybdis of a preservation of forms and identities of bygone times that have lost the freshness of the message of liberation of bondage, conversion and freedom, freedom to be what the church is called to be, a sign of hope, peace, reconciliation, justice and love?

Download or read book The Legacy of Supranationalism written by P. Close and published by Springer. This book was released on 2000-08-22 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The doctrine of supranationalism has been most evident in Europe, but has become increasingly a global tour de force . Supranationalism is the ideological driving force behind the process of European integration and so the European Union, the first supranational regional regime (SRR). But the same doctrine has bequeathed other gifts to the world and to posterity. The EU is evolving as a prominent global player, and as a result appears to have become an inspiration and model for the proliferation of other SRRs and proto-SRRs. However, as SRRs acquire greater power relative to 'traditional' global players such as nation-states, a further state of development has ensued, entailing the creation of supranational global regimes (SGRs), signalled by the progress of the United Nations and the World Trade Organisation.

Download or read book The Concise Oxford Chronology of English Literature written by Michael Cox and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2004 with total page 852 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Replacing the Annals of English Literature (first published by OUP in 1935), the Concise Oxford Chronology of English Literature presents a chronological record of around 15,000 works published in the English language since 1474. Like its predecessor, the Annals of English Literature, the purpose of this book is to show, at a glance, the main literary output of a given year. The aim is to display a significant and representative selection of works in relation to the history and culture of the day. The book's primary focus is English literature, understood as works originally written in English by British authors published in Britain, though exceptions have been made for authors born elsewhere (e.g. Henry James) who made their home in Britain, or some colonial authors who published principallywith British publishing houses. Though works of the imagination (poetry, short stories, plays, novels) predominate, 'non-literary' works (biographies, memoirs, critical works, historical scholarship, philosophical and religious texts) are also included. As far as possible the range of works covered represent all levels of literaryoutput and the greats sit alongside long forgotten gems, the trivial, the inspirational, and the unusual, all worthy of remembrance.The works covered generally fall into the following broad categories:DT Fiction (novels, novellas, short-story collections, anthologies, selected juvenile fiction)DT Poetry (individual works, single-author collections, anthologies)DT DramaDT Literary Scholarship (editions of English texts, editions of classical and foreign texts, editions of letters, dictionaries and other reference works, critical studies)DT Non-Fiction (essays, travel and exploration, literary memoirs, biographical studies, philosophical and religious works, historiography, economics)Each year shows a selection of titles published. The titles are arranged alphabetically by author surname. Each entry consists of author's names and dates, title, notes giving information of particular interest and cross-references (not included with every title), and category (e.g. NF fornon-fiction or D for drama).At the beginning of each year there is also a short list of historical events and items of cultural interest, births, and deaths.What were people writing about around the time of the Reformation?Sir Thomas More (1478-1535)A Dialogue Concernynge Heresyes and Matters of ReligionSir Thomas Elyot (1490?-1546) Of the Knowledge whiche Maketh a Wise ManJohn Colet (1467?-1519)The Ordre of a Good Chrysten Mannes LyfeHow did the English Civil War influence literary output?Robert Chamberlain (1607?-60)The Swaggering Damsell: A comedyRalph Cudworth (1617-88)The Union of Christ and the Church, in a ShadowJoseph Hall (1574-1656)An Humble Remonstrance to the High Court of ParliamentWhat was being read after the French Revolution?Edmund Burke (1729-97)Reflections on the Revolution in FranceMary Wollstonecraft (1759-97)A Vindication of the Rights of MenCharlotte Palmer (fl.1790-1800)It is, and it is not a NovelTo what degree did the Industrial Revolution inspire the writers of that day?Charles Babbage (1792-1871)On the Economy of Machinery and ManufacturesWilliam Cobbett (1763-1835)Cobbett's Manchester LecturesGilbert Abbott a Beckett (1811-56)The Revolt of the Workhouse What are we reading about now?Helen Fielding (1958)Bridget Jones's DiaryTed Hughes (1930-98)Birthday LettersZadie Smith (1975)White TeethPhilip Pullman (1946)The Amber SpyglassThe main chronology is supplemented by three indexes.
