This short work opens in 1815, at the close of a period of twenty-five years of almost continuous war. The Congress of Vienna assembled to consider the restoration of the old order. Our author writes, "they rejected the ideal of 'nationality', the principle of the 'rights of peoples', opposing to it the principle of 'stability', founded upon recognition of the 'rights of sovereigns' and upon the establishment of a balance of power." This was the Metternich system, which fell before the revolutions of 1848. Participation in the Crimean War earned nascent Italy a seat at the diplomatic table and...

Philip Guedalla writes, "History is the most interesting part of geography, and European history is particularly dependent upon the conformation of Europe." Between the Peace of Utrecht (1713) and the Congress of Vienna (1815), Europe was continuously partitioned and re-partitioned by war. Frederick the Great created Prussia at the expense of Austria. Catherine the Great seized the Ukraine. And in France, the old order fell and Napoleon redrew the map of Europe. (Summary by Pamela Nagami, M.D.)

This is a formal but relaxed text covering assaying techniques for most of the substances which are mined. As the authors say: "At first our intention was to supply a description of those substances only which have a commercial value, but on consideration we have added short accounts of the rarer elements..."The book's early chapters are wide-ranging, describing the general theory of assaying and a range of methods and reagents, with the later chapters describing analytical methods for different groups of metals and for some non-metallic substances. It includes many excellent illustrations of ...

The story of Jesus Christ is a treasure of Western civilization. Understanding that life and story is necessary for a proper understanding of that cultural history. This recording draws from several sources, certainly not comprehensive but nonetheless indicative. It begins with readings from the biblical New Testament Gospels about the last hours of Jesus’ life, using The American Standard Version (1901), which is based on The Authorized Version commonly called The King James Version, supplemented and advantaged by four hundred more years of biblical scholarship. Each Gospel has its own ...

A sweeping and intellectually rigorous work of literary criticism that moves the field forward, from one of the preeminent public scholars “[Said’s] book is relaxed and discursive, original, immensely learned, fluently written.”―John Bayley, The New York Times Book Review Edward W. Said...

Dame Emmeline Tanner writes of the Renaissance that its "special characteristic was the revolt against authority and the rise to importance of the individual." Politically, "the renaissance marks the death of the idea of the universal authority of the Empire." Ecclesiastically, "the period marks the breaking-up of the idea of the World Church and the rise of national churches. The authority of the Church was overthrown, and in Teutonic lands the Renaissance became the Reformation." This is a book about broad concepts and remarkable individuals: the Borgia Pope, Alexander VI, the Emperor ...

The prayers of John Calvin, however, have received little attention, as compared with the fame which crowns his theological writings. His commentaries upon Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, and the minor prophets were originally delivered in the form of lectures, each followed by appropriate petitions. Both lectures and prayers were extemporaneous. In his epistle dedicatory, prefaced to the commentary upon the minor prophets, and addressed to the King of Sweden, Calvin says: "Had it been in my power I would rather have tried to prevent the wider circulation of that extemporaneous kind of teaching, ...

Text und Sprache kommen von überall her. Sie kennen Mittelpunkte und Ränder, sind Akzent und Dominanz, Dialekt und Slang, Migration und Expansion. Sie materialisieren sich als analoger Bestseller und marginalisierte Literatur, als Radio-Sound und als Rap einer neuen Avantgarde, als schnell geschriebener Kommentar, als Gebet, als Bitte um Antwort, auf Papier und in Pixeln. TEXT MATTERS. MATTERS OF TEXT, ein Festival zur Materialität der Sprache, geht der Frage nach, aus welchem Stoff die Texte unserer Gegenwart gemacht sind und wie sie sich in unserem Alltag niederschlagen.

Dans cet audio (et dans bien d’autres qui verront bientôt le jour), je vous invite à découvrir un texte méditatif issu du tome 1 de la trilogie Retrouver la Paix, cette fois présenté sous la forme d’un chant. Grâce à la musicalité de la rythmique et à la présence chaleureuse de la voix, le texte ne se contente plus d’être simplement lu : il s’approfondit, il s’ouvre, et il déploie une dimension émotionnelle nouvelle, presque palpable, qui accompagne doucement le lecteur vers un état de calme intérieur. Au fil du temps, l’ensemble des textes méditatifs présents ...
