Sinopsis

In "Historic China, and Other Sketches," Herbert Allen Giles embarks on a vibrant exploration of China's rich history and cultural heritage. Written in the late 19th century, the book seamlessly blends detailed historical narratives with personal reflections and observations, showcasing Giles' mastery of prose and his nuanced understanding of Chinese society. The text is marked by vivid descriptive passages that not only portray historical events but also capture the essence of the landscapes and people who shaped them. Through a lens that combines scholarly analysis and poetic imagery, Giles offers insights into the intersection of tradition and modernization in a rapidly changing China. Herbert Allen Giles was a notable sinologist and linguist who dedicated much of his career to the study of Chinese language and culture. His extensive travels across China and keen observations of its societal structures contributed to his profound admiration for its civilization. Moreover, Giles' experiences as a translator and educator during a time of cultural exchange significantly influenced his perspective, as he sought to bridge the gap between East and West, a theme that resonates throughout his works. "Historic China, and Other Sketches" is an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the complex tapestry of Chinese history and culture. Giles' skillful narrative invites readers to immerse themselves in the stories that have shaped a nation, making it a valuable resource for scholars, historians, and general readers alike.

    As a result of vaccines and various other “modern” medical topics, autism has become more common than ever. Autism has become more broadly known or understood, at least to some degree. In the last 10 years, research has discovered high-function autism, which was never before believed to be autism. In the Dealing with Autism series, you will learn about the “root” problem autistics deal with, how to spot it, and how to teach your loved one how to overcome it. As a high-function autistic with nearly 20 years in education, I was able to create a lesson plan, which I originally designed for myself. Due to the exceptional outcome of following my own program, people no longer believe I am autistic. Dealing with Autism series is written in everyday language, so anyone can understand and follow. By the entire support group following this program, the loved one will reach new heights. Follow the entire series to see the most improvement in your loved one. This has two parts. One is for the family and support group, while the other is for the person with autism which is communicated in the "black and white" picture that autistics understand.

Through compelling conversations between prominent Roman statesmen, Cicero presents contrasting viewpoints on political theory, drawing on the teachings of Greek philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle. He explores the merits and flaws of various forms of government, including monarchy, aristocracy, and democracy, while considering the ideal balance of power and the responsibilities of both rulers and citizens.

    How can Christians believe in an all-powerful, all-knowing and loving God whilst there is so much suffering in the world? Contemporary theology books refer to the problem of theodicy as a significant and unresolved problem. Engaging with theology, biblical study, physics and biology, and philosophy and producing a cohesive synthesis of these subjects, Good God offers an answer that has the potential to re-integrate Christian theology with science and philosophy for the first time since the Enlightenment.
    
     
    Michael Brooks writes with both academic rigour and pastoral sensitivity. As a science and medicine graduate who is also an ordained minister, he makes science and theology comprehensible to those not trained in either discipline.
    
     
    The book opens the reader to the notion of a wonderful creation that is so full of the miraculous that this is taken for granted. Good God provides an answer to a very important question in a way that edifies faith and offers eternal hope.

    Public and political interest in social entrepreneurship (SE) is increasing while it remains a contested and ambiguous concept. Philipp Kenel traces the popular media representation of SE in Germany over time (1999—2021), making an important empirical contribution to the sociological and political understanding of the phenomenon. He shows that until 2008, SE was mainly understood as a reform of the welfare infrastructure (including public and non-profit institutions). From 2009, SE was increasingly conceptualised as part of the economy, while sometimes challenging and other times reaffirming mainstream economic logics. More recently, in somewhat competing perspectives, SE has been framed as part of the ›start-up‹ world or as a force for deeper social and ecological transformation.
