Download or read book Creativity and Time A Sociological Exploration written by Juan A. Roche Cárcel and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-15 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book defends that the pursuit of originality constitutes one of the most important characteristics of creativity, but that originality refers, etymologically, to both origin and originary. Hence, the book is structured into two parts, dedicated, respectively, to the creative categories of origin and the creative categories of originary. Within the former are creation myths, games – the origin of all cultural activity, the dialectic chaos-order, axial civilizations – the germ of our time, and the struggle between generations – a factor of social transformation, and, within the second, creative capitalism, creative work in the context of the global economy of risk and uncertainty, and representative democracy. However, these two concepts are not isolated, but deeply interrelated, in a way that explains how creative originality builds a temporal narrative. It has been dislocated in late modernity and, with it, creativity has been broken.

Download or read book The Bible Unearthed written by Israel Finkelstein and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2002-03-06 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking work that sets apart fact and legend, authors Finkelstein and Silberman use significant archeological discoveries to provide historical information about biblical Israel and its neighbors. In this iconoclastic and provocative work, leading scholars Israel Finkelstein and Neil Asher Silberman draw on recent archaeological research to present a dramatically revised portrait of ancient Israel and its neighbors. They argue that crucial evidence (or a telling lack of evidence) at digs in Israel, Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon suggests that many of the most famous stories in the Bible—the wanderings of the patriarchs, the Exodus from Egypt, Joshua’s conquest of Canaan, and David and Solomon’s vast empire—reflect the world of the later authors rather than actual historical facts. Challenging the fundamentalist readings of the scriptures and marshaling the latest archaeological evidence to support its new vision of ancient Israel, The Bible Unearthed offers a fascinating and controversial perspective on when and why the Bible was written and why it possesses such great spiritual and emotional power today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Después de muchos intentos de concepción, Callie finalmente pudo quedar embarazada. Pero al inicio del embarazo ella tuvo hemorragias. Había peligro de que perdiera al bebe y posiblemente su propia vida. Después de que varios doctores de grandes hospitales le recomendaron interrumpir el embarazo del niño que aun no conocían; ella y su esposo Henry decidieron continuar y encontraron ayuda y confort en el hospital del condado de Los Ángeles. Ellos sabían que si ese bebe no nacía, entonces no habría otro. La pareja había sido advertida por los doctores que naciera o no el bebe, ella debía hacerse una histerectomía permanente para poder detener la hemorragia que atentaba con su vida. Esto terminaría con toda esperanza de tener una maternidad natural para los Wares. El bebe Donald nació, pero desarrolló Polio a una edad muy temprana, aun así pude superar este desafío para convertirme en un bailarín profesional. Fui criado en un vecindario pobre pero cambie esa situación convirtiéndome en un doctor reconocido y agente de cambio. Fui desde mi pobre vecindario hasta New York, Washington, DC, y Cambridge MA; y luego regresar a casa para enfrentarme con la oposición de doctores en un hospital local y en uno de las corporaciones hospitalarias más grandes del mundo. Sobre la marcha, en plena lucha, el Espíritu Santo se me reveló en voz, visiones, señales físicas y maravillas en mi vida. Estos acontecimientos me dieron la victoria sobre la tiranía, para el beneficio de todos nosotros. Esta historia de viada es sobre la victoria sobre todas las adversidades. Dice que Dios vive, y se interesa por las vidas de todos, e intervendrá en nuestras vidas por el bien de todos nosotros.

Book excerpt: This work is composed of three outstanding lectures about the emergence of the ancient Israelites and their religion presented at a symposium held at the Smithsonian Institution in the fall of 1991. Professors William Dever, Baruch Halpern, and P. Kyle McCarter Jr., specialists in the fields of biblical archaeology and Near Eastern studies, present provocative theories on the arrival of the Israelites in ancient Canaan and the provenance of their religion. Did the Israelites enter Canaan according to the books of Joshua and Judges or were they already there as part of the indigenous population? Is there any reality to the biblical account of the Exodus? Where and when did belief in the God Yahweh originate? Edited under the aegis of Shanks, the well-known editor of Biblical Archaeological Review and Bible Review, this work can easily be understood by interested lay readers. Highly recommended for larger collections. Robert A. Silver, Shaker Heights P.L., Ohio. Library Journal.
