Sinossi

"Warsaw Rebirth" examines the extraordinary post-World War II reconstruction of Warsaw, exploring how the city rose from near-total destruction to become a modern European capital while preserving its Polish heritage. The book delves into the conscious effort to rebuild not just buildings, but also national identity in the face of Soviet influence. Intriguingly, the rebuilding of Warsaw's Old Town, now a UNESCO World Heritage site, served as a symbol of national pride and resilience. The book highlights the deliberate choices made by Polish architects and planners to reimagine the city's past and shape its future.

 
The book unfolds by first introducing pre-war Warsaw and then detailing the city's destruction and immediate post-war conditions. Subsequent chapters explore the phases of reconstruction, including the Royal Castle and historic churches, examining architectural styles like socialist realism and the political context. The book uniquely emphasizes the cultural and political motivations behind the reconstruction, moving beyond a purely architectural analysis to explore the human stories that shaped the city's rebirth.

 
Finally, the book analyzes Warsaw's contemporary identity as a modern European capital, balancing its heritage with modernity.

The Great Schism - How the...

Kelly Mass

The East–West Schism, also called the Great Schism or the Schism of 1054, was a profound and enduring rupture in communion between the Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church that took place during the 11th century. This division marked one of the most significant splits in Christian history, fundamentally shaping the religious landscape of Europe and beyond. At the time, Eastern Christianity likely accounted for a narrow majority of Christians globally, with the remainder adhering to Catholicism. The schism was the culmination of centuries of doctrinal, cultural, and political differences between the Greek-speaking East and the Latin-speaking West.
The definitive break in 1054 did not emerge in isolation but was preceded by a long history of ecclesiastical conflicts and theological disputes. Among the central issues were the *Filioque* clause—an addition to the Nicene Creed by the Western Church asserting that the Holy Spirit proceeds from both the Father and the Son—the use of leavened versus unleavened bread in the Eucharist, the bishop of Rome’s assertion of universal jurisdiction, and the status of the See of Constantinople in relation to the pentarchy (the five major episcopal sees of the early Church). These disagreements highlighted fundamental differences in theological perspectives, liturgical practices, and ecclesiastical authority.
The formal steps toward the schism began in 1053 when Greek churches in southern Italy were ordered to conform to Latin traditions, under the threat of closure if they refused. In retaliation, Michael I Cerularius, the Patriarch of Constantinople, ordered the closure of all Latin churches in Constantinople. This act escalated tensions and set the stage for the events of 1054.

A History of Mevagissey - Tales...

Liz Hurley

"A great book for the armchair traveller or visitor to Cornwall. It is written as if you are sitting down with the author over a cup of tea or two and listening to tales and history. A delight." 
An engaging and informative history of Mevagissey. 
For over 800 years, Mevagissey has flourished beside the south Cornish coastline. It has, in its heyday, been a globally significant port, lighting the streets of London in the 18th century and feeding the homes of Europe. It has been battered by freak storms and a cholera outbreak but has continued unbroken, contributing in no small part to the colonisation of the world by Cornish men and women. 
This potted history gives an insight into the history of the village and takes a humorous look behind the scenes into what it is like to actually live and work in Cornwall's second largest fishing port. It debunks a few myths and introduces some lively, tall tales, as told through local voices. 
Download A History of Mevagissey and enjoy listening to an entertaining and fascinating look into the history of this famous village.

The Monadology

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz

The Monadology (La Monadologie, 1714) is one of Gottfried Leibniz’s best known works representing his later philosophy. It is a short text which sketches in some 90 paragraphs a metaphysics of simple substances, or monads. What he proposed can be seen as a modification of occasionalism developed by latter-day Cartesians. Leibniz surmised that there are indefinitely many substances individually 'programmed' to act in a predetermined way, each program being coordinated with all the others. This is the pre-established harmony which solved the mind body problem at the cost of declaring any interaction between substances a mere appearance, something which Leibniz accepted. Indeed it was space itself which became an appearance as in his system there was no need for distinguishing inside from outside. True substances were explained as metaphysical points which, Leibniz asserted, are both real and exact - mathematical points being exact but not real and physical ones being real but not exact.

A Defence of Nonsense

G.K. Chesterton

Nonsense, argues G. K. Chesterton, deserves more serious attention than we may initially assume. It is in nonsense that we regain a sense of wonder at the world – by appreciating the pure serendipitousness of the beauty that fills our lives. 
This essay is one in a series titled The Defendant, first published as a collection in 1901, after the individual essays were published in The Speaker. Here, a selection of these essays has been reissued by Voices of Today for a new generation.
