The Fate of the Apostles Examining the Martyrdom Accounts of the Closest Followers of Jesus

The Fate of the Apostles Examining the Martyrdom Accounts of the Closest Followers of Jesus

The Book of Martyrs by John Foxe written in the 16th century has long been the go-to source for studying the lives and martyrdom of the apostles. Whilst other scholars have written individual treatments on the more prominent apostles such as Peter Paul John and James there is little published information on the other apostles. In The Fate of the Apostles Sean McDowell offers a comprehensive reasoned historical analysis of the fate of the twelve disciples of Jesus along with the apostles Paul and James. McDowell assesses the evidence for each apostle’s martyrdom as well as determining its significance to the reliability of their testimony. The question of the fate of the apostles also gets to the heart of the reliability of the kerygma: did the apostles really believe Jesus appeared to them after his death or did they fabricate the entire story? How reliable are the resurrection accounts? The willingness of the apostles to die for their faith is a popular argument in resurrection studies and McDowell offers insightful scholarly analysis of this argument to break new ground within the spheres of New Testament studies Church History and apologetics. | The Fate of the Apostles Examining the Martyrdom Accounts of the Closest Followers of Jesus

Recovering Boarding School Trauma Narratives Christopher Robin Milne as a Psychological Companion on the Journey to Healing

Recovering Boarding School Trauma Narratives Christopher Robin Milne as a Psychological Companion on the Journey to Healing

Recovering Boarding School Trauma Narratives: Christopher Robin Milne as a Psychological Companion on the Journey to Healing is a unique emotive and theorised narrative of a young girl’s experience of boarding school in Australia. Christine Jack traces its impact on the emerging identity of the child including sexual development and emotional capacity the transmission of trauma into adulthood and the long process of recovery. Interweaving her story with the experiences of Christopher Robin Milne she presents her memoir as an exemplar of how narrative writing can be employed in remembering and recovering from traumatic experiences. Unique and powerfully written Jack takes the reader on a journey into her childhood in Australian boarding school convents in the 1950s and 1960s. Comparing her experience with Christopher Robin Milne’s she interrogates his memoirs illustrating that boarding school trauma knows no boundaries of time and place. She investigates their emerging individuality before being sent to live an institutional life and traces their feelings of longing and loneliness as well as the impact of the abuse each endured there. As an educational historian Jack writes in a ground-breaking way from the perspective of an insider and outsider revealing how trauma remains in the unconscious wielding power over the life of the adult until the traumatic memories are recovered emotions released and associated dysfunctional behaviour changed restoring well-being. Engaging the lenses of history life-span and Jungian psychology feminist and trauma theory and boarding school trauma research this book positions narrative writing as a way of reducing the power of trauma over the lives of survivors. Personal and accessible this book will be essential reading for psychologists and educational historians as well as students and academics of psychology sociology trauma studies ex-boarders and those interested in the life of Christopher Robin Milne. | Recovering Boarding School Trauma Narratives Christopher Robin Milne as a Psychological Companion on the Journey to Healing

Caesarism Charisma and Fate Historical Sources and Modern Resonances in the Work of Max Weber

Caesarism Charisma and Fate Historical Sources and Modern Resonances in the Work of Max Weber

How do writers marginalized by the authoritarian state in which they live intervene in the political process? They cannot do so directly because they are not politicians. Other modes of engagement are possible however. A writer may take up arms and become a revolutionary. Or as Max Weber did he may try to influence politics by playing the role of constitutional advisor or by seeking to shape the dominant language in which his contemporaries think. Weber sought to reconstitute the political and social vocabulary of his day. Part I of Caesarism Charisma and Fate examines a great writer's political passions and the linguistic creativity they generated. Specially it is an analysis of the manner in which Weber reshaped the nineteenth century idea of Caesarism a term traditionally associated with the authoritarian populism of Napoleon III and Bismarck and transmuted it into a concept that was either neutral or positive. The coup de grace of this alchemy was to make Caesarism reappear as charisma. In that transformation a highly contentious political concept suffused with disapproval and anxiety was naturalized into an ideal type of universal value-free sociology. Part II augments Weber's ideas for the modem age. A recurrent preoccupation of Weber's writings was human fate a condition that evokes the pathos of choice the political meaning of death and the formation of national solidarity. Peter Baehr marrying Weber and Durkheim fashions a new concept community of fate for sociological theory. Communities of fate-such as the Warsaw Ghetto or Hong Kong dealing with the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) crisis-are embattled social sites in which people face the prospect of collective death. They cohere because of an intense and broadly shared focus of attention on a common plight. Weber's work helps us grasp the nature of such communities the mechanisms that produce them and not least their dramatic consequences. | Caesarism Charisma and Fate Historical Sources and Modern Resonances in the Work of Max Weber

Nietzsche and the Fate of Art

Nietzsche and the Fate of Art

This title was first published in 2002. Challenging the accepted orthodoxy on Nietzsche's views on art this book seeks both to challenge and to establish a new set of concerns as far as discourses on Nietzsche's thoughts on aesthetics are concerned whilst at the same time using such insights to illuminate more central concerns of Nietzsche scholarship such as the will to power the illusion/truth question the eternal return the death of God tragedy Wagner. Following the development of Nietzsche's thoughts on art from his earliest writings to his last Pothen counters traditionally accepted interpretations by suggesting a need to recognize the deep suspicion and at times hostility that Nietzsche displays towards art and the artist throughout his text by emphasising the philosophical arguments underlying this deep suspicion and by viewing this tendency as something deeply connected to the other areas of his thought. Readers with interests in Nietzsche studies aesthetics German philosophy and the philosophy of music will find this a particularly invaluable and distinctive contribution to Nietzsche scholarship. | Nietzsche and the Fate of Art

Environmental Fate and Transport Analysis with Compartment Modeling

Environmental Fate and Transport Analysis with Compartment Modeling

Environmental Fate and Transport Analysis with Compartment Modeling explains how to use the powerful highly flexible and intuitive compartment approach to estimate the distribution of chemical contaminants in environmental media in time and space. Add this Easy-to-Use Approach to Your Environmental Modeling Toolbox This numerical technique enables readers to easily develop the equations that describe complex environmental problems by assembling the equations out of compartmental building blocks. The compartments may describe spatial subunits of single- or multi-environmental media and the way one hooks them together implicitly provides the dimensionality of the problem. With this approach assembling the equations to describe chemical fate and transport in a three-dimensional multimedia system is fundamentally no more challenging than a one-dimensional single-medium problem. Go Beyond Black Box Modeling with the Flexible GEM Software The book includes access to the Generic Environmental Model (GEM) a new software package developed by the author. This software implements the compartment approach based on user-prepared input files and solves the resulting mathematical equations. It allows readers to solve linear nonlinear and steady-state problems and offers four methods for solving dynamic problems. Each solution technique is reviewed along with the error properties and the criteria for avoiding or minimizing numerical errors. The book also describes solution techniques and the underlying mathematical theory for solving nonlinear systems. Compartment Modeling from the Ground Up Made Accessible to Non-Mathematicians A user-friendly introduction to environmental compartment modeling for the beginning modeler this is also a useful resource for the experienced modeler. It combines a reference on compartment modeling with a user’s guide to the GEM. Throughout the GEM is used to illustrate the theory with numerous examples while the theoretical discussions illuminate the GEM’s functionality.

Populist Threats and Democracy’s Fate in Southeast Asia Thailand the Philippines and Indonesia

Populist Threats and Democracy’s Fate in Southeast Asia Thailand the Philippines and Indonesia

Democracy in Southeast Asia has been explained using a number of factors including historical legacies social structures developmental levels transitional processes and institutional designs while other elements such as elite-level relations and social coalitions have been overlooked. This book offers a new explanation for democracy’s collapse or persistence in Southeast Asia today. Focusing on Thailand the Philippines and Indonesia — the three countries in the region with the most democratic experience — William Case shows that existing accounts based on contextual factors are by themselves incomplete. Hence they lead us wrongly to anticipate democracy’s persistence in Thailand and its collapse in Indonesia. They more accurately though only partially correlate with democracy’s fluctuations in the Philippines. Advancing a new argument Case shows that democracy’s fate is determined instead by the opportunities that contextual factors can provide for populist mobilization. His model enables us better to understand democracy’s breakdown in Thailand its survival in Indonesia and its slippage in the Philippines. Presenting research into vital questions over democratic durability and authoritarian backlash this book will be of interest to scholars in the field of comparative politics specifically comparative democratization and Southeast Asian politics. | Populist Threats and Democracy’s Fate in Southeast Asia Thailand the Philippines and Indonesia

Narcissus in Treatment The Journey from Fate to Psychological Freedom

Narcissus in Treatment The Journey from Fate to Psychological Freedom

This book explores the nature of psychic suffering due to the narcissistic drama and how one can emerge over time to live an autonomous life. The narcissistic drama involves the saga of narcissistic wounding in childhood resulting from narcissistic parenting eventually giving way to emotional pain in adulthood marked by feelings of unworthiness and lack of genuine purpose. The dynamics of the narcissistic drama are herein demonstrated through an analysis of experience in D. H. Lawrence's autobiographical novel Sons and Lovers. The emotional suffering depicted in this novel provides a pristine picture of the drama itself. The focus of this book subsequently takes up the question of what narcissistically injured adults can do to become free from the constraints of this drama. This is accomplished through a discussion about the nature of therapeutic action. This discussion centres on describing a therapeutic approach to resolve psychic defenses that have led to blocks in emotional growth and the progressive formation of the mind. The aim of therapeutic action is to put old ghosts to rest and pave the way towards psychological birth and freedom. | Narcissus in Treatment The Journey from Fate to Psychological Freedom

The Ecology of the English Outlaw in Medieval Literature From Fen to Greenwood

The Ecology of the English Outlaw in Medieval Literature From Fen to Greenwood

Arguing that outlaw narratives become particularly popular and poignant at moments of national ecological and political crisis Sarah Harlan-Haughey examines the figure of the outlaw in Anglo-Saxon poetry and Old English exile lyrics such as Beowulf works dealing with the life and actions of Hereward the Anglo-Norman romance of Fulk Fitz Waryn the Robin Hood ballads and the Tale of Gamelyn. Although the outlaw's wilderness shelter changed dramatically from the menacing fens and forests of Anglo-Saxon England to the bright known and mapped greenwood of the late outlaw romances and ballads Harlan-Haughey observes that the outlaw remained strongly animalistic other and liminal. His brutality points to a deep literary ambivalence towards wilderness and the animal at the same time that figures such as the Anglo-Saxon resistance fighter Hereward the brutal yet courtly Gamelyn and Robin Hood often represent a lost England imagined as pristine and forested. In analyzing outlaw literature as a form of nature writing Harlan-Haughey suggests that it often reveals more about medieval anxieties respecting humanity's place in nature than it does about the political realities of the period. | The Ecology of the English Outlaw in Medieval Literature From Fen to Greenwood

Diffusion Models of Environmental Transport

Diffusion Models of Environmental Transport

Fate and transport models are critical components in the determination of the exposure to and risk from hazardous contaminants. Analytical models are preferable because they are generally more accessible more reliable and require fewer computational resources. Surprisingly until today only a limited number of analytical models have been accessible in the literature. Now there is Diffusion Models of Environmental Transport which provides more than 40 analytical models of diffusion and advective-diffusion in one two and three layer systems subject to a wide range of boundary and initial conditions. This text illustrates applications to contaminant transport in sediments and soils including porewater and vapor transport and also provides Mathcad spreadsheets to aid in the use of these models. The authors supply complete details of the solutions to the models for those who wish for a deeper understanding. For others who do not have the time or the need the solutions themselves are ready to be picked up and used. Reible and Choy use their 20-plus years of cumulative experience to create a thorough exploration of fate and transport models. This comprehensive text furnishes an invaluable reference for students and environmental professionals.

Community of Citizens On the Modern Idea of Nationality

Community of Citizens On the Modern Idea of Nationality

In this critically acclaimed work for which she was awarded the Prix de L'Assemblee Nationale in 1994 sociologist Dominique Schnapper offers a learned and concise antidote to contemporary assaults on the nation. Schnapper's arguments on behalf of the modern nation represent at once a learned history of the national ideal a powerful rejoinder to its contemporary critics and a masterful essay in the sociological tradition of Ernest Renan Alexis de Tocqueville Emile Durkheim and Raymond Aron. If Schnapper asserts the fate of liberal democracy is coterminous with that of the national ideal then the nation's fate and the answer to this question must be of pressing interest to us all. Reflecting deeply on both the nation's past and future Schnapper places her hopes in what she terms the community of citizens. No mere exercise in sociological abstraction Schnapper's case for the nation also entails a practical political objective. In a time of radical difference the national ideal may be the last great social unifier. This book deserves a place alongside the works of Elie Kedourie Ernest Gellner Anthony Smith and other classics in the study of nationalism and nationality. This work will be of interest to sociologists historians and political scientists alike. | Community of Citizens On the Modern Idea of Nationality
