True Crime - Martin Luther King jr., Ian Cummins, Louise Wattis

True crime is a huge cultural industry: media organisations use crime stories to push sales and clicks. Yet behind this phenomenon lies the real-life victims and a disconnect between the representation of violent crime and its reality. This book is a go-to guide for students and researchers in understanding the development of this phenomenon and its social and cultural impacts. Through case studies including Lucy Letby, the Yorkshire Ripper and Fred and Rosemary West, the book considers true crime’s ethical implications and its wider influence on crime and punishment.

An Analysis of Martin Luther King Jr.'s Why We Can't Wait - Jason Xidias

Martin Luther King’s policy of non-violent protest in the struggle for civil rights in the United States during the second half of the twentieth century led to fundamental shifts in American government policy relating to segregation, and a cultural shift in the treatment of African Americans. King’s 1964 book Why We Can’t Wait creates strong, well-structured arguments as to why he and his followers chose to wage a nonviolent struggle in the fight to advance freedom and equality for black people following ‘three hundred years of humiliation, abuse, and deprivation.’ The author highlights a number of reasons why African Americans must demand their civil rights, including frustration at the lack of political will to tackle racism and inequality. Freedoms gained by African nations after years of colonial rule, as well as the US trumpeting its own values of freedom and equality in an ideological war with the Soviet Union, also played their part. King dealt with the counter-argument that civil rights for blacks would be detrimental to whites in America by explaining that racism is a disease that deeply penetrates both the white and the black psyche. His reasoning dictated that the brave act of nonviolent mass protest would provoke ... Unknown localization key: "more"

King's Vibrato - Maurice O. Wallace

In King’s Vibrato Maurice O. Wallace explores the sonic character of Martin Luther King Jr.’s voice and its power to move the world. Providing a cultural history and critical theory of the black modernist soundscapes that helped inform King’s vocal timbre, Wallace shows how the qualities of King’s voice depended on a mix of ecclesial architecture and acoustics, musical instrumentation and sound technology, audience and song. He examines the acoustical architectures of the African American churches where King spoke and the centrality of the pipe organ in these churches, offers a black feminist critique of the influence of gospel on King, and outlines how variations in natural environments and sound amplifications made each of King’s three deliveries of the “I Have a Dream” speech unique. By mapping the vocal timbre of one of the most important figures of black hope and protest in American history, Wallace presents King as the embodiment of the sound of modern black thought.

This Life - Martin Hagglund

Winner of the René Wellek PrizeNamed a Best Book of the Year by The Guardian, The Millions, and The Sydney Morning HeraldThis Life offers a profoundly inspiring basis for transforming our lives, demonstrating that our commitment to freedom and democracy should lead us beyond both religion and capitalism. Philosopher Martin Hägglund argues that we need to cultivate not a religious faith in eternity but a secular faith devoted to our finite life together. He shows that all spiritual questions of freedom are inseparable from economic and material conditions: what matters is how we treat one another in this life and what we do with our time. Engaging with great philosophers from Aristotle to Hegel and Marx, literary writers from Dante to Proust and Knausgaard, political economists from Mill to Keynes and Hayek, and religious thinkers from Augustine to Kierkegaard and Martin Luther King, Jr., Hägglund points the way to an emancipated life.

Healing Resistance - Kazu Haga, Bernard LaFayette, Jr

An expert in the field offers a mindfulness-based approach to nonviolent action, demonstrating how nonviolence is a powerful tool for personal and social transformation Nonviolence was once considered the highest form of activism and radical change. And yet its basic truth, its restorative power, has been forgotten. In Healing Resistance, leading trainer Kazu Haga blazingly reclaims the energy and assertiveness of nonviolent practice and shows that a principled approach to nonviolence is the way to transform not only unjust systems but broken relationships. With over 20 years of experience practicing and teaching Kingian Nonviolence, Haga offers us a practical approach to societal conflict first begun by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during the Civil Rights Movement, which has been developed into a fully workable, step-by-step training and deeply transformative philosophy (as utilized by the Women’s March and Black Lives Matter movements). Kingian Nonviolence takes on the timely issues of endless protest and activist burnout, and presents tried-and-tested strategies for staying resilient, creating equity, and restoring peace. An accessible and thorough introduction to the principles of nonviolence, Healing Resistance is an indispensable resource for activists and change agents, restorative justice practitioners, faith leaders, and anyone engaged in social process.

Martin Luther King - Godfrey Hodgson

Martin Luther King left an indelible mark on 20th-century American history through his leadership of the non-violent civil rights campaigns of the 1950s and 1960s. The election of Barack Obama as America''s first black president in November 2008 has spawned a renewed interest in King''s role as an agent and prophet of political change in the United States. Writing with verve and clarity but also with acute insight, Godfrey Hodgson traces King''s life and career from his birth in Atlanta in 1929, through the campaigns that made possible the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, to his assassination in Memphis in 1968. Hodgson sheds light on every aspect of an extraordinary life: the Black Baptist milieu in which King grew up, his theology and political philosophy, his physical and moral courage, his insistence on the injustice of inequality, his campaigning energy, his repeated sexual infidelities. Martin Luther King is a rounded and fascinating portrait of a Christian prophet and the most brilliant orator of his age, the central message of whose life and ministry was that Americans would never be fully free until they accepted that black and white Americans must be equal.

King: The Life of Martin Luther King - Jonathan Eig

Vividly written and exhaustively researched, Jonathan Eig’s King is the first major biography in decades of the civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr. – and the first to include recently declassified FBI files. In this revelatory new portrait of the preacher and activist who shook the world, the bestselling biographer gives us an intimate view of the courageous and often emotionally troubled human being who demanded peaceful protest for his movement but was rarely at peace with himself. He casts fresh light on the King family’s origins as well as MLK’s complex relationships with his wife, father, and fellow activists. King reveals a minister wrestling with his own human frailties and dark moods, a citizen hunted by his own government, and a man determined to fight for justice even if it proved to be a fight to the death. As he follows MLK from the classroom to the pulpit to the streets of Birmingham, Selma, and Memphis, Eig dramatically re-creates the journey of a man who recast American race relations and became its only modern-day founding father – as well as the nation’s most mourned martyr.

Martin Luther - Zde stojím a nemohu jinak - Roland H. Bainton

Podíl Martina Luthera na církevní reformaci nepochybně patří mezi významné milníky dějin Božího lidu. Svědčí o Bohu, který si do služby nepovolává bezchybné a neomylné lidi, nýbrž obyčejné hříšníky, jimž daruje svou milost a odpuštění. Hříšníky, které posvěcuje, aby se stali nástroji k plnění jeho vůle – spásy hynoucích duší. Luther pochopitelně nebyl tím, kdo reformaci zahájil. Zveřejnění Lutherových 95 tezí nebylo prvním reformačním krokem středověku. Kořen reformace začal růst mnohem dříve – za Jana Viklefa v Anglii či Jana Husa v Čechách. Martin Luther se ve skutečnosti původně nehodlal pouštět do celkové reformace církve. Neusiloval o získání vlivu, nechtěl se stát známou osobností, nepřál si zakládat novou církev či sbory. Události ale brzy nabraly jiný směr a Luther, poslušen Božího vedení, zdvihl pochodeň svých předků, aby z jejího světla rozdmýchal oheň, který pročistil celou tehdejší Evropu. Oheň, jehož plameny planou, hřejí a osvěcují církev až do dnešních dnů. Oheň Božího slova a pravdy evangelia, která stále zachraňuje hříšníky a posvěcuje Boží lid!

His attempts to reform Christianity by returning it to its biblical roots split the Western Church, divided Europe and polarised people’s beliefs, leading to religious persecution, social unrest and war; and in the long run his ideas would help break the grip of religion on every sphere of life.Yet Luther was a deeply flawed human being: a fervent believer tormented by spiritual doubts; a prolific writer whose translation of the Bible would shape the German language yet whose attacks on his opponents were vicious and foul-mouthed; a married ex-monk who liberated human sexuality from the stigma of sin but who insisted that women should know their place; a religious fundamentalist, Jew-hater and political reactionary who called ‘for the private and public murder of the peasants’ who had risen against their lords in response ...

Dopisy blízkým - Martin Luther

Martin Luther, nejvýznamnější reformátor církve, spolutvůrce německého jazyka a jeden z nejdůležitějších křesťanských teologů, je postavou, jaká nesnadno hledá srovnání. Není však tato jeho velikost spíše drtivá? Není jeho vehemence spíše odstrašující? Jaký to byl vlastně člověk? Jednou z nejpřístupnějších cest, jak najít odpověď, je nahlédnout do jeho dopisů.Dopisy blízkým jsou stručným výborem z Lutherovy obsáhlé korespondence, který má reformátora představit nejen jako teologa, myslitele či hrdinu, ale především jako člověka. Ukazuje, jaká břemena, těžkosti a nemoci musel přemáhat (někdy i mrzutosti a drsnosti), jak se však stále znovu vracel k radostné naději evangelia, kterou probouzel i v druhých, jak mu nechyběl humor ani citlivost k bližním, jak dobrým uměl být přítelem, oddaným manželem a milujícím otcem a jak své povolání navzdory všemu naplňoval až do konce.

A Dictionary of True Crime - Stephen Wade

A Dictionary of True Crime is a guide to the most compelling cases of extreme and violent crime in the writing files, from the 17th century to present day. Amongst notorious criminals like Jack the Ripper and the Moors Murderers, lesser-known but provoking cases which have occupied the writer’s mind for some time are also discussed, with questions and theories posed, such as those of Walter Rowland, who was twice sentenced to die, and Louie Calvert who, Wade argues, was innocent of the crime for which she was hanged.As well as murder, other crimes, including baby farming, arson and treason are also discussed, along with criminals such as gangsters, pirates and highwaymen and punishments including hanging, flogging and being burnt at the stake. Professions within crime, for example detectives, hangmen, and the unexpected Kings’ Messengers who were given powers of arrest in their duties feature, along with cases that have formed points of law which impact the courts even today, and oddities like the ‘cutlery eater’, a burglar with a strange calling card.Arranged in an A-Z format, this well-researched dictionary from crime writer Stephen Wade is the perfect read for fans of true crime.

True Crime Japan - Paul Murphy

A middle-aged carpenter beats his 91-year old mother to death and goes to work the following day, leaving the body for his wife to find. An 82-year old woman is jailed for 10 months for stealing fried chicken. Like nearly all defendants in Japan, they both plead guilty. What happens between plea and sentencing is the subject of True Crime Japan. In this fascinating crime book journalist and longtime Japan resident Paul Murphy provides a glimpse of Japanese society through a year''s worth of criminal court cases in Matsumoto, a city 140 miles to the west of Tokyo. The defendants in these cases range from ruthless mobsters to average citizens, often committing similar crimes in rather different ways, and for different reasons. Based on court hearings and interviews with the defendants, their families, neighbors and lawyers—Murphy explores not only the motives of offenders but the culture of crime and punishment in Japan. The resulting true crime book provides a lens through which to view this honor-shame based, conformist culture, and shows how, in its role within that culture, the court system reveals Japan to be, surprisingly to some, a land of true individuals.

Reformační balíček - Jan Ámos Komenský, Jan Hábl, Jan Hus, Mikuláš Vymětal, Martin Luther, Alexandr Flek

Tři drobné knížky dávají nahlédnout do duše velkých osobností, které se nespokojily se stavem věcí veřejných. O čem tito mužové přemýšleli, když zrovna nestáli na jevištích dějin a nesepisovali odborné traktáty? Jak reagoval Hus na nespravedlivý kostnický proces, Luther na úmrtí své osmiměsíční dcery a Komenský na požárem zmařené celoživotní dílo? Listy z Kostnice Jana Husa do dnešní češtiny převedl překladatel Bible21 Alexandr Flek. Dopisy blízkým Martina Luthera uspořádal farář pro menšiny Mikuláš Vymětal. Lekce lidskosti Jana A. Komenského vybral a okomentoval komeniolog Jan Hábl. Svazky vyšly v rámci Malé edice klasiků, která představuje širokému čtenářskému publiku duchovní odkaz autorů a myslitelů, k jejichž dílu by běžný čtenář přistupoval možná s ostychem, možná s obavou a možná by se jim vyhnul docela. Jednotlivé drobné svazky nabízejí vhled do myšlenkového světa osobností, o nichž často slýcháme nebo čteme, ale zřídka se vystavujeme jejich vlastnímu hlasu. Reformační balíček obsahuje: Listy z Kostnice od Jana Husa (ed. Alexandr Flek) Dopisy blízkým od Martina Luthera (ed. Mikuláš Vymětal) Lekce lidskosti od Jana Amose Komenského (ed. Jan Hábl)

O ustanovení služebníků církve - Martin Luther

Osmý svazek studijní řady Acta Reformationem Bohemicam Illustrantia uvádí překlad nejdůležitějšího textu, který vzešel ze styků reformátora Martina Luthera a českých utrakvistů na počátku dvacátých let 16. století. Lutherův dopis De instituendis ministris ecclesiae z roku 1523 obsahuje stručný návod na řešení situace, do níž se česká církev pod obojí dostala tím, že zůstala od časů kompaktát věrná římskému svěcení svého kněžstva. Luther zde vyzývá politické špičky Starého města pražského k vybudování církve nezávislé na Římu. Překlad Buriana Sobka z Kornic (1523) edičně připravil církevní historik Ota Halama ve spolupráci se studenty Evangelické teologické fakulty Univerzity Karlovy v Praze. Text doprovázejí dobové ilustrace a faksimile.

True Crime Biographies - T Stanton

It''s time to meet some of the most interesting and awful people in the world: the criminal world, that is. The world can be an arbitrary or tough place to live in. These people make it worse, from taking advantage of naïve and trusting people (see Bernie Madoff) to religious cult leaders (see David Koresh) to violent madmen (see Charles Whitman) and vicious exploiters (see Whitey Bulger, Al Capone, Pablo Escobar and a host of unsavory others). What made them tick? Where were they born and what strange situation made them into monsters, conmen, thieves and killers? Where did they do their worst and what brought them to their ends? True Crime Biographies answers these questions and offers chilling facts and insights into far more. What were their motives, how did they get away with crimes, what drove them to commit the crimes and how did they get away with them -- in some cases, forever? Each "biography" comprises two pages of photos, histories, maps and atmosphere. The criminals range from well-known Brits like the Krays, North Americans like Ted Bundy, Meyer Lansky and the still-missing D.B. Cooper. There are less-familiar European and Asian criminals, complete with their cartels and ... Unknown localization key: "more"
