Sinopse

Phoenician Influence explores the significant yet often overlooked impact of the Phoenicians on the ancient world, focusing on their pivotal role in shaping global communication and commerce. This civilization, originating in the Levant, left an indelible mark through its maritime trade, innovative alphabet, and widespread cultural exchange. The book highlights how the Phoenician alphabet, a revolutionary advancement over previous writing systems, became the foundation for numerous alphabets, including those used by the Greeks and Romans. Furthermore, their extensive trade networks fostered the exchange of not only material goods but also ideas and artistic styles across diverse Mediterranean cultures.

 
The book progresses chronologically, beginning with an examination of the Phoenicians' rise during the Bronze Age collapse, delving into their societal structure, religious beliefs, and political organization. It then meticulously details the development and dissemination of their alphabet, analyzing its structure and adaptation by other cultures. The narrative further explores their maritime exploits, charting their trade routes and the resulting economic and cultural exchanges.

 
The culmination focuses on the lasting impact of Phoenician culture on Mediterranean civilizations, including their powerful colony, Carthage, emphasizing their influence on art, architecture, and religion. By synthesizing archaeological findings, epigraphic evidence, and historical texts, Phoenician Influence provides a balanced and nuanced understanding of this ancient civilization, acknowledging both their achievements and limitations. This comprehensive approach offers valuable insights into the origins of the alphabet, the dynamics of ancient trade networks, and the broader processes of cultural diffusion, making it an essential resource for students, researchers, and general readers interested in ancient history and language.

No One Knows Their Destiny - The...

Tonia Eckfeld

A moving portrait of two Dunera Boys, from Kristallnacht in Vienna to VE Day in Melbourne, that complicates the traditional story of the Dunera.
Popular culture has mythologised the Dunera Boys – but who were the real men who sailed on the infamous ship, and how did the voyage transform their lives?
Art historian Tonia Eckfeld draws on a deeply personal history to tell the story of her father and her uncle, Jewish refugees whose lives were shaped indelibly by their wartime experiences and internment – each to very different outcomes.
In 1939, Reinhold and Waldemar Eckfeld fled Hitler’s Austria to Churchill’s United Kingdom. There they were unjustly arrested and transported on the Dunera to Tatura prison camp, where it took many months to gain their freedom. Their experiences of internment were often harrowing, riven with violence, deprivation and frustration. Waldemar, who was beaten by British guards aboard the Dunera, found himself entangled in court martial proceedings – the records of which were reportedly destroyed by the British government to hush up a human-rights scandal. Reinhold, classified as an ‘enemy alien’, joined the Australian Army after release and served the country that would not legally recognise him for so long.
Drawing on a trove of historical artefacts – including previously unseen artworks, photographs and official documents – Tonia Eckfeld takes the reader inside these events as they unfold. Gripping and illuminating, this book asks us to reconsider the conventional narrative of the Dunera Boys, unearthing new perspectives on the impact of war, trauma and legacy on family relationships.

The Vanishing Church - How the...

Ryan P. Burge

Many people take it for granted: Evangelicals are Republican, Democrats aren't religious, and moderate Christians may as well not exist. But it wasn't always this way. Those who grew up evangelical in the 1980s were just as likely to sit next to a Democrat as a Republican at church. What happened in the decades that followed?Data scientist Ryan Burge demystifies the recent polarization of American pews, helping listeners understand why the religious landscape has changed so much in the last fifty years and how this divide impacts every aspect of society. Burge argues that Americans prioritized their political parties over their denominations amid the culture wars. As many churches embraced conservative politics, moderate and liberal Christians left the church in droves.Yet Burge shows us that returning to church may be just what America needs. Many Americans want to be people of faith and believe deeply in the principles of religion. Churches provide support systems for needy families. And statistically, churchgoers tend to be more tolerant and have better mental health than Americans who don't attend church. Blending personal narrative and carefully presented data, Burge urges listeners to rebuild faith communities that can reach across the aisle.

Two Fundamental Problems of the...

Karl Popper

In a letter of 1932, Karl Popper described Die beiden Grundprobleme der Erkenntnistheorie – The Two Fundamental Problems of the Theory of Knowledge – as ‘…a child of crises, above all of …the crisis of physics.’ 
Finally available in English, it is a major contribution to the philosophy of science, epistemology and twentieth century philosophy generally. The two fundamental problems of knowledge that lie at the centre of the book are the problem of induction, that although we are able to observe only a limited number of particular events, science nevertheless advances unrestricted universal statements; and the problem of demarcation, which asks for a separating line between empirical science and non-science. 
Popper seeks to solve these two basic problems with his celebrated theory of falsifiability, arguing that the inferences made in science are not inductive but deductive; science does not start with observations and proceed to generalise them but with problems, which it attacks with bold conjectures. 
The Two Fundamental Problems of the Theory of Knowledge is essential reading for anyone interested in Karl Popper, in the history and philosophy of science, and in the methods and theories of science itself.
