The World is Flat - Thomas L. Friedman

The beginning of the twenty-first century will be remembered, Friedman argues, not for military conflicts or political events, but for a whole new age of globalization – a ‘flattening’ of the world. The explosion of advanced technologies now means that suddenly knowledge pools and resources have connected all over the planet, levelling the playing field as never before, so that each of us is potentially an equal – and competitor – of the other. The rules of the game have changed forever – but does this ‘death of distance’, which requires us all to run faster in order to stay in the same place, mean the world has got too small and too flat too fast for us to adjust? Friedman brilliantly demystifies the exciting, often bewildering, global scene unfolding before our eyes, one which we sense but barely yet understand. The World is Flat is the most timely and essential update on globalization, its successes and its discontents, powerfully illuminated by a world-class writer. In his new chapters: ''If It''s Not Happening, It''s Because You''re Not Doing It'' and ''What Happens When We All Have Dog''s Hearing?'' the author explores both the benefits and disadvantages of the very latest ...

Coles to Jerusalem - Jackson Kevin, Richard Reverend Coles

On Easter, 2014, Britain''s best-loved vicar, the Rev. Richard Coles, led a pilgrimage to all the major historic sites of the Holy Land: from Nazareth and the Sea of Galilee in the North, via Jericho and the Jordan River, to Bethlehem and, finally, Jerusalem. All of the pilgrims in his care were practising Christians, except one: the writer Kevin Jackson, a diffident and sympathetic atheist intrigued by the chance to take part in this modern-day version of an ancient act of piety, and to learn some more about his old friend, the media clergyman. Coles to Jerusalem is Kevin Jackson''s light-hearted diary of that pilgrimage, and a close-up portrait of Richard Coles both as priest and as man. As the journey proceeds, Coles reminisces at length about his past life as a rock star and radical gay agitator, his new life as a spiritual leader and a popular broadcaster on BBC radio and television, and the strange, unpredictable path that led him from self-destructive debauchery to faith and vocation. With a lively supporting cast of fellow pilgrims, Coles to Jerusalem ranges among the magnificence of ancient monuments and the banalities of the guided tour, the grim political background of contemporary ...

Recollections of Jerusalem - Anya Berezina Derrick

If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand be forgotten. Psalm 136:5 Recollections of Jerusalem vividly opens up to us a world very different from our own. It affords the rare opportunity to see major world events through the eyes of one shaped by them, but unable to influence them. At the outset of World War II, the author, still a young child, travelled to Jerusalem with her mother on pilgrimage. Prevented by the conflict from returning to their home in Yugoslavia, they began a new life, intimately entwined with the city of Jerusalem. In Jerusalem Anya was raised in the spirit of Holy Russia, manifested in the life of the Russian Ecclesiastical Mission, the Mount of Olives convent, the Gethsemane convent, and the Bethany School. Her spiritual life was nurtured by St John (Maximovitch) of Shanghai and San Francisco, Archbishop Antony (Sinkevich) of Los Angeles, Archpriest George Grabbe, Mother Mary (Robinson), and in particular the English priest-monk Lazarus (Moore). Through Anya’s eyes, we gain new perspectives on their lives and ministries. Her experiences in Jerusalem would sustain her faith during later years, following her marriage in America, when the Church was geographically distant from Anya and her ...

Journey To Jerusalem - Graeme Hutchinson, Jeremy Gibson

Looking beyond His approaching suffering, to glory, Christ ‘steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem’ (Lk 9.51). Approximately six months later, in fulfilment of Zechariah’s prophecy, He rode triumphantly into Jerusalem upon an ass, declaring Himself to be Israel’s Messiah. This book seeks to capture, in roughly chronological order, what took place within that six month period.During this stage of the Lord’s public ministry large crowds followed Him, many professed to believe on Him and there was a growing expectation that the Kingdom of God was about to be established on earth. At the same time He faced increasingly dangerous opposition. Despite this, the Saviour persisted on His course, retaining a joyful disposition and a vibrant personal prayer life. He taught His disciples how to pray, spoke candidly to friend and foe about His approaching sufferings, warned of eternal punishment, exposed the danger of riches, explained that true greatness is self-sacrificial service for others and assured His disciples that no sacrifice they made for Him would go unrewarded. Every word which He spoke and every step He took in His journey to Jerusalem glorified God and displayed His moral excellence.

Walking to Jerusalem - Justin Butcher

2017 marked three important anniversaries for the Palestinian people: 100 years since the Balfour Declaration; 50 years since the Six-day War; and ten years since the Blockade of Gaza. As an act of penance, solidarity and hope, actor and musician Justin Butcher - along with ten other companions for the full route, plus another hundred joining him for various stretches along the way - walked from London to Jerusalem. This book is the record of his journey: a combination of walking journal, travel writing and pilgrim stories. It''s less of a travel guide to walking across Europe and more an exploration of the many strands radiating from the Holy Land and its narrative, weaving paths across place and history, through the lives of Justin''s fellow-walkers - and, of course, his own life. Between the route itinerary and the themes of Balfour and Christian Zionism, Weizmann and cordite, colonialism, Jerusalem Syndrome and Desert spirituality, Justin charts a chronicle of serendipity: happenstances hilarious, infuriating and occasionally numinous - or, as pilgrims might say, encounters with the Divine.

The Grey family was one of mediaeval England’s most important dynasties, serving the kings of England as sheriffs, barons and military leaders from the reign of William the Conqueror. In Henry IV’s reign the rivalry between Owain Glyndwr and Lord Grey of Ruthyn was the backdrop to the Welsh bid to throw off English dominance. His successor Edmund Grey played a decisive role at the Battle of Northampton when he changed allegiance from Lancaster to York. Edmund’s Lancastrian cousin, Sir John Grey, died at the second battle of St Albans, leaving a widow, Elizabeth née Woodville, and two young sons, Thomas and Richard. Astonishingly, the widowed Elizabeth caught the eye of Edward IV and ascended to the throne as the first Yorkist queen, giving her sons a place at the heart of the royal family. The competition for control of the young Edward V between the Greys and Richard, Duke of Gloucester, led to Richard Grey’s summary execution and the disappearance of their royal half-brothers when Gloucester became king.

The seminal biography of a great poet, novelist and sacred figure in English writing, Thomas Hardy, from bestselling author Clare Tomalin. ''An extraordinary story, beautifully told. Tomalin is the most empathetic of biographers'' Craig Brown, Mail on Sunday Paradox ruled Thomas Hardy''s life. His birth was almost his death; he became one of the great Victorian novelists and reinvented himself as one of the twentieth-century''s greatest poets; he was an unhappy husband and a desolate widower; he wrote bitter attacks on the English class system yet prized the friendship of aristocrats. In the hands of Whitbread Award-winning biographer Claire Tomalin, author of the bestselling Charles Dickens: A Life and The Invisible Woman, Thomas Hardy comes vividly alive. ''Another triumph for a biographer who goes from strength to strength'' Melvyn Bragg, Guardian, Books of the Year ''Tomalin provides an object lesson in how to write a life'' Economist ''A moving story, and Tomalin tells it vividly, with as great a fund of sympathy and sense, as can be imagined'' Daily Telegraph ''Skilful and absorbing, admirable. The most compelling of life stories'' Daily Telegraph ''Hardy emerges as a man full of spirit and gaiety'' Sunday Times

Confessions of an English Opium Eater - Thomas de Quincey

A masterpiece of autobiography, and perhaps the first literary memoir of an addict, the Penguin Classics edition of Thomas De Quincey''s Confessions of an English Opium-Eater is edited with an introduction by Barry Milligan.Confessions is a remarkable account of the pleasures and pains of worshipping at the ''Church of Opium''. Thomas De Quincey consumed daily large quantities of laudanum (at the time a legal painkiller), and this autobiography of addiction hauntingly describes his surreal visions and hallucinatory nocturnal wanderings through London, along with the nightmares, despair and paranoia to which he became prey. The result is a work in which the effects of drugs and the nature of dreams, memory and imagination are seamlessly interwoven, describing in intimate detail the mind-altering pleasures and pains unique to opium. Confessions of an English Opium-Eater forged a link between artistic self-expression and addiction, paving the way for later generations of literary addicts from Baudelaire to James Frey, and anticipating psychoanalysis with its insights into the subconscious.This edition is based on the original serial version of 1821, and reproduces two ''sequels'', ''Suspiria de Profundis'' (1845) and ''The English Mail-Coach'' (1849). It also includes a critical introduction discussing the romantic figure of the addict and ... Unknown localization key: "more"

World of Variation - Mary Otis Stevens, Thomas McNulty

An imaginative reenvisioning of spatial and social relations from America''s 1960s urbanist movementIn World of Variation (1970), American architects Mary Otis Stevens (born 1928) and Thomas McNulty (1919–84) outlined a radical reenvisioning of socio-spatial relationships, informed by their background in philosophy and commitment to decentralizing hierarchies. Writing in the context of the Cold War and the political activism of 1960s America, they identified possible design solutions to then-current social issues. In striking abstract drawings, Stevens visualized aspects of the urban environment, proposing a design philosophy she termed “free flow.” These diagrams give expression to both the “flow” of movement and points of “hesitations.”This volume is a facsimile of World of Variation, accompanying the MIT Museum’s exhibition on the work of Mary Otis Stevens.Born in New York in 1928, Mary Otis Stevens is considered one of the most important female American postwar architects. She is best known for Lincoln House (1965), designed with her then-husband Thomas McNulty, the first exposed-concrete and glass house in the US.Thomas McNulty (1919–84) taught on MIT’s faculty from 1949 to 1956, before leaving to open a firm with his then wife, Mary Otis Stevens.

Je to komedie? Je to tragédie? - Thomas Bernhard

Soubor povídek Thomase Bernharda (1931 až 1989) nastoluje všechna ústřední témata a postupy autorovy tvorby: problém viny a trestu, institucionální moci a osudu jedince, tradice moderního myšlení i jeho sebedestrukce. A jakkoli svět Bernhardova Rakouska připomíná čtenáři takřka nezaměnitelně současný český kontext, jakkoli se autorova nenávist a láska k osudovému místu střední Evropy zdá tak důvěrně blízká našim banálním a tragikomickým příběhům, jakkoli slova o tuposti státní moci často doslovně mapují i český prostor, právě v povídkách se snad jěště průzračněji odhaluje smysl zláštní litaničnosti Bernhardova vyprávění, v němž rytmus řeči zpochybňuje každou ustálenou myšlenku a každou tezi mění ve svůj protiklad. Bernhardův povídkový soubor navazuje na nejlepší evropskou tradici tohoto literárního žánru: jen málokterý současný vypravěč ovšem dokáže stylistickou vypjatostí a pohybem své promluvy vyjádřit nepřímo napětí existence postav, které zobrazuje. Bernhardovy povídky jsou neodmyslitelnou součástí jeho velkých románů, stejně jako je dnes už jeho dílo neodmyslitenou součástí velké prózy dvacátého století.

Velké dílo - Thomas Berry

Americký kulturní historik, spolutvůrce kosmologie epiky evoluce (s Brianem T. Swimmem) a obhájce Země Thomas Berry (1914-2009) je jedním z nejpronikavějších ekologických myslitelů naší doby, který zevrubně analyzoval odcizení kultury a spirituality Západu od Země. Ve své klíčové knize Velké dílo nám sděluje, že se nacházíme v čase zásadní proměny, která není jen další historickou kulturní etapou, ale hlubokou změnou v dějinách celé planety. Bezprecedentním zpustošením Země dnes ukončujeme geologickou éru kenozoika, 65 milionů let mimořádné evoluční tvořivosti, během nichž život na Zemi doslova rozkvetl, a stojíme na prahu nové fáze v dějinách naší planety. Podle Berryho to znamená obrovskou výzvu pro naši tvořivost i morální a spirituální zralost, protože v tomto kritickém a vysoce nestabilním čase záleží především na nás lidech, jakou bude mít Země budoucnost. Nejde jen o technologickou či politickou změnu, jsme vyzýváni k revizi celého našeho kulturního příběhu o tom, co to znamená být člověkem a jaký by měl být náš vztah k sobě navzájem, k planetě a ke kosmu. Jsme součástí jednoho integrálního pozemského společenství a největšího životního naplnění jako lidé dosáhneme tím, když budeme usilovat o blaho celého tohoto velkého společenství.
