The Chrodegang Rules The Rules for the Common Life of the Secular Clergy from the Eighth and Ninth Centuries. Critical Texts with Translatio

The Chrodegang Rules The Rules for the Common Life of the Secular Clergy from the Eighth and Ninth Centuries. Critical Texts with Translatio

Since its earliest days the Christian Church sought to draw up rules by which its members could live together in religious communities. Whilst those of Augustine (c. 400 AD) and Benedict (c. 530 AD) provided detailed guidance for monastic life it took another two centuries for equivalent rules for secular clergy to become accepted on a wide scale. The earliest surviving set of comprehensive rules for canons are those written in the mid-eighth century by St Chrodegang (c. 712-766) Bishop of Metz. Writing initially for secular clergy at Metz Cathedral this work shows how Chrodegang's rule borrowed much from the Benedictine tradition dealing with many of the same concerns such as the housing feeding and disciplining of members of the community and the daily routine of the divine offices. At a time when there was no consensus on how clergy should live - whether they should marry or were eligible to own property - Chrodegang's rule provided clear guidance on such issues and inspired reformers across Europe to consider how clergy lived and interacted with wider society. Although his work was superseded within a generation by the Rule of Aachen Chrodegang succeeded in setting the agenda for subsequent rules for canons and as such his rule deserves to be given more weight by Church historians than has hitherto been the case. Providing the Latin texts and English translations of the three surviving versions of Chrodegang's rule (Regula Originalis Chrodegangi Institutio Canonicorum Regula Longior Canonicorum) this volume provides an invaluable resource to scholars of medieval Christian communities. Substantial introductions to each text provide historical context and bibliographic details allowing them to be understood in a much fuller way than has hitherto been possible. | The Chrodegang Rules The Rules for the Common Life of the Secular Clergy from the Eighth and Ninth Centuries.

The Rushdie Affair The Novel the Ayatollah and the West

The Rushdie Affair The Novel the Ayatollah and the West

The publication in 1988 of Salman Rushdie's novel The Satanic Verses triggered a furor that pitted much of the Islamic world against the West over issues of blasphemy and freedom of expression. The controversy soon took on the aspect of a confrontation of civilizations provoking powerful emotions on a global level. It involved censorship protests riots a break in diplomatic relations culminating in the notorious Iranian edict calling for the death of the novelist. In The Rushdie Affair Daniel Pipes explains why the publication of The Satanic Verses became a cataclysmic event with far-reaching political and social consequences. Pipes looks at the Rushdie affair in both its political and cultural aspects and shows in considerable detail what the fundamentalists perceived as so offensive in The Satanic Verses as against what Rushdie's novel actually said. Pipes explains how the book created a new crisis between Iran and the West at the time-disrupting international diplomacy billions of dollars in trade and prospects for the release of Western hostages in Lebanon. Pipes maps out the long-term implications of the crisis. If the Ayatollah so easily intimidated the West can others do the same? Can millions of fundamentalist Muslims now living in the United States and Europe possibly be assimilated into a culture so alien to them? Insightful and brilliantly written this volume provides a full understanding of one of the most significant events in recent years. Koenraad Elst's postscript reviews the enduring impact of the Rushdie affair. | The Rushdie Affair The Novel the Ayatollah and the West

The Rules of Project Risk Management Implementation Guidelines for Major Projects

The Rules of Project Risk Management Implementation Guidelines for Major Projects

The evidence continues to grow that the effective management of risk is the very kernel of successful project management. Its absence frequently leaves project sponsors lamenting missed objectives and shareholders coming to terms with an organisation’s poor bottom line performance. Dr Robert Chapman's The Rules of Project Risk Management stands out from other risk management texts because it provides very practical guidance supported by numerous mini case studies many of which have attracted considerable publicity. The book brings to life both the benefits of project risk management when effectively applied and the ramifications when it is misunderstood or receives scant attention. The structure of the book is based on International Standard ISO 31000 seen through the lens of general systems theory - where projects are undertaken by organisations which have an external context and internal sub-systems. A project system is seen to be composed of seven key subject areas. Practical short ’rules’ or implementation guidelines written in an engaging style are offered to support each of these subject areas and aid quick assimilation of key risk management messages. Each rule focuses on a specific aspect of effective risk management which warrants attention in its own right. Taken together the rules will provide those implementing projects with the building blocks to secure a project’s objectives. They have been drawn from a wealth of experience gained from applying risk management practices across multiple industries from Europe to Africa the Middle East and Asia. | The Rules of Project Risk Management Implementation Guidelines for Major Projects

101 Rules of Thumb for Low-Energy Architecture

101 Rules of Thumb for Low-Energy Architecture

Buildings and construction are a major contributor to the climate and biodiversity emergency. They account for nearly 40% of energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. It is more important than ever for architects to design responsibly and create low-carbon low-energy buildings for a sustainable future. 101 Rules of Thumb sets out the essential elements of low-energy architecture in a fresh intuitive way. Where ever-changing technology and complex legislation can cloud the designer’s thought-process this book equips you with the fundamentals you need to minimise CO2 emissions design for low-energy use and work with not against the forces of nature. With reliable simple rules of thumb each page focuses on a single piece of guidance along with a clear hand-drawn illustration. The emphasis is on passive low-energy principles and the rules of thumb cover all the design fundamentals from site and location to orientation and form peppered with ideas to help the designer think outside the box drawing inspiration from traditional methods photoperiodic plants and the black-tailed prairie dog. An extended fully updated narrative bibliography explores the sources in detail and provides a valuable springboard for further study. Applicable throughout the world in any climate region 101 Rules of Thumb is a global primer to be dipped into at any time as a quick means of re-focusing on what’s important when designing a new or retrofitted low-energy building. The rules cover: Site and location Orientation and form The low-energy building envelope Carbon free heating cooling and lighting Passive low-energy principles. | 101 Rules of Thumb for Low-Energy Architecture
