Beschreibung

The culture of contempt—the lust to wound perceived opponents who are seen not just as wrong but as evil—has become global in scope. Fed by the rise of “cheap speech” in media, seismic shifts in digital technology, and a boom industry based on selling outrage, people are increasingly unable to understand, much less dialogue with, their ideological rivals. The Catholic Church understands itself as the evangelizer of culture; yet this culture of contempt has evangelized much of the Church. A distressing range of Catholic media platforms and commentators have introduced the poison of contempt into the heart of Catholic life—and with exacting fidelity. In this timely and important new book, Vatican journalist and Crux Editor John L. Allen Jr. offers a bracing analysis of our fractured Catholic media landscape. Examining six case studies of the culture of contempt wounding the Church—four from around the globe, and two from the United States—Allen offers not only a sobering look at the direction Catholic media has headed, but an urgent call for it to change course.

    The Gita is a talk between prince Arjuna and his charioteer Krishna. At the start of the Dharma Yudhha (righteous war) between the Pandavas and Kauravas, Arjuna is filled with great moral dilemma and despair about the violence and death the war will cause in the battle against his own kin. He wonders if he should renounce and seeks Krishna's counsel, whose answers constitute the Bhagavad Gita. Krishna counsels Arjuna to "fulfill his Kshatriya (warrior) duty to uphold the Dharma" through "selfless action".The Krishna–Arjuna dialogues cover a broad range of spiritual topics, touching upon ethical dilemmas and philosophical issues that go far beyond the war Arjuna faces. According to some, Bhagavad Gita is written by Lord Ganesha and was told to him by Vyasa. The setting of the Gita is a great battlefield. The Bhagavad Gita presents a synthesis of ideas about dharma, theistic bhakti, and the yogic ideals of moksha.The text covers jnana, bhakti, karma, and Raja Yoga. The Gita's call for selfless action inspired many leaders of the Indian independence movement including Mahatma Gandhi; the latter referred to it as his "spiritual dictionary.

    This book bundle explores the intricate web of human thought, behavior, and social organization. By combining three powerful disciplines—Sociology, Ethnology, and Anthropology—this volume offers a comprehensive understanding of how individuals relate to one another, how cultures form and function, and how human societies evolve. 
    In Sociology, readers investigate the structure of societies, the influence of institutions, and the dynamics of groups and relationships. This section delves into topics like class systems, social norms, urbanization, education, and inequality, revealing how societal forces shape our everyday lives and collective decisions. 
    Ethnology, a branch of anthropology, compares and analyzes cultures across the globe. It seeks patterns in traditions, languages, rituals, and social roles, uncovering what connects humanity while celebrating what makes each culture unique. From kinship systems to religious beliefs, ethnology paints a portrait of human diversity and shared heritage. 
    Finally, Anthropology offers a broader view of human beings throughout history, studying physical traits, prehistoric origins, and cultural practices. It combines biological, archaeological, linguistic, and cultural perspectives to understand what it means to be human—both in ancient times and in modern societies. 
    Whether you're a student of social sciences or simply curious about humanity’s rich cultural landscape, this book equips you with foundational knowledge to better grasp the forces that shape human behavior, identity, and interaction.

    A moving account of how war is remembered – and by whom 
    'Impressive. A hundred individual histories, skillfully assembled, built into a poignant meditation on why they still matter' David Olusoga 
    'Brilliant' Piers Morgan 
    Bestselling historian Tessa Dunlop travels the length and breadth of the United Kingdom on a quest to uncover a story of national warring and national mourning, of fighting each other and of fighting together. Along the way, she summons a stellar cast of veterans, military experts and families of the fallen to reveal what our monuments and war heroes say about us, both then and now. 
    Why did Scotland take nearly 600 years to commemorate its most famous freedom fighter? When did Wellington become anti-Establishment? Who are the Glorious Dead? Can the Cenotaph stay above politics? And how do you commemorate contested, asymmetrical wars? 
    Through powerful veteran testimony from individuals such as Falklands hero Simon Weston and HRH The Duke of Kent, Tessa brings to life the pride and the pain of commemoration across these isles. 
    Lest We Forget, freedom is not free. 
    'In this wonderfully incisive, moving and timely book about commemoration, Dunlop breathes life into 100 British monuments – some famous, others less so – that together reveal our island story. A stunning achievement.' Saul David 
    Dunlop's latest work, Lest We Forget, is a top pick for history enthusiasts. This non-fiction book, set to be a bestseller, explores the conflicts that have shaped our nation and the heroes who have emerged from them. 
    For fans of Alexander Larman (Power and Glory), Sally Bedell Smith (Grace & Power), J. Randy Taraborrelli (Jackie, Janet & Lee), Betty Webb (No More Secrets), and Michael Smith (The Real Special Relationship).

    Do scientists see conflict between science and faith? Which cultural factors shape the attitudes of scientists toward religion? Can scientists help show us a way to build collaboration between scientific and religious communities, if such collaborations are even possible? 
     
      
     
    To answer these questions and more, the authors of Secularity and Science: What Scientists Around the World Really Think About Religion completed the most comprehensive international study of scientists' attitudes toward religion ever undertaken, surveying more than 20,000 scientists and conducting in-depth interviews with over 600 of them. From this wealth of data, the authors extract the real story of the relationship between science and religion in the lives of scientists around the world. The book makes four key claims: there are more religious scientists than we might think; religion and science overlap in scientific work; scientists—even atheist scientists—see spirituality in science; and finally, the idea that religion and science must conflict is primarily an invention of the West. Secularity and Science leaves inaccurate assumptions about science and religion behind, offering a new, more nuanced understanding of how science and religion interact and how they can be integrated for the common good.
