Agnes Repplier

Beschreibung

In "Under Dispute," Agnes Repplier presents a compelling exploration of the nuances of disagreement through a rich tapestry of essays that blend intellectual rigor with a lively prose style. Rooted in the literary context of late 19th-century America, Repplier's work stands as a testament to the era's preoccupation with individualism and debate. Her essays reflect a keen observational eye, dissecting the morality and ethics surrounding contention in both personal and public spheres, thus illuminating the often-overlooked dynamics of dissent. Repplier's deft use of wit and irony challenges readers to reconsider the value of disagreement in shaping human experience and societal progress. Agnes Repplier (1855-1950), a notable American essayist, was renowned for her incisive commentary and strong perspective on women's roles in society. Her extensive literary career was marked by a keen interest in the moral dilemmas of her time, which undoubtedly influenced her writings. Drawing from her own experiences and observations, Repplier articulated the importance of engaging in respectful discourse, a conviction that resonates throughout "Under Dispute." Her nuanced approach underscores her belief in the transformative potential of conflict. "Under Dispute" is essential reading for anyone interested in the art of argumentation and the cultivation of intellectual dialogue. Repplier's eloquent prose and insightful reflections offer a refreshing reexamination of contention, encouraging readers to embrace disagreement as a constructive force. This book will resonate with scholars, students, and general readers alike, making it a significant addition to any literary collection.

Kelly Mass

Babylon was an old city that was home to some of the world's most effective empires. It was the capital of the Babylonian Empire and was considered a center of commerce, art, and more. It's thought to have been the world's biggest early city, perhaps the first to reach a population of more than 200,000 people. 
The age-old city featured high embankments put up along both banks of the Euphrates River to include the river's seasonal floods. 
Prophets in the Bible have predicted the “great fall of Babylon” and the Babylonian Empire has, since long ago, it has just been a sometimes-forgotten speck in history. What was it about the Babylonians that was considered so evil? Or what was it that kept their society together for so long? What is their significance now? 
In this book, I hope you will find some answers.

Queen of Scots - The Full Life...

Anonym

An intimate, myth-shattering new biography of Mary Queen of Scots by a premier historian that draws on a trove of newly discovered sources.Queen of Scots, the first full-scale biography of Mary in more than thirty years, offers a singularly novel, nuanced, and dramatic portrait of one of history’s greatest women. 
John Guy draws on sources -- many previously unstudied -- as varied as the secret communiques of English spies and Mary's own letters.  
Dispelled is the ingrained popular image of Mary as a romantic leading lady, achieving her ends through feminine wiles, driven by love to murder, undone by passion and bad judgment. We come to see her as an emotionally intricate woman and an adroit diplomat, maneuvering ingeniously among a dizzying array of factions who sought to control or dethrone her. Guy's investigation of Mary's storied downfall throws sharp new light on questions that have baffled historians for centuries, and offers convincing new evidence that she was framed for the murder for which she was beheaded.

Through enlightening history and eye-opening personal stories, Living Undivided will equip and empower you with the biblical, transformative tools you need to move from just hoping and wishing for racial justice to actionable change that makes a difference in your life and the lives of churches, neighborhoods, and cities.

Time for the world to learn from...

Ruth Finnegan

It is a common notion that Africa has, and indeed ought to have, learned much from the west. This is not wrong; all cultures rightly learn from each other. But less is said of what there is to learn from Africa: from her stories, myths, music, proverbs, insights - and more. Here an acclaimed African scholar steps into the gap with a prize winning account that uncovers something of the great legacy of African thought and practice in ways that will astonish many. Written with verve and authority and directed above all to students and sixth formers, this book will also delight and often surprise those who know something of Africa as well as those hitherto ignorant. 
 Ruth Finnegan OBE FBA is Emeritus Professor The Open University, Foreign Associate of the Finnish Literature Bureau, and International Fellow of the American Folklore Society.

Recent books include How is Language?, Fiji's Music: Where Did It Come From?, her edited Entrancement: The Consciousness of Dreaming, Music and The World, and several prize-winning Africa-influenced novels, including The Black Inked Pearl and Voyage of Pearl of the Seas.
