The History of Persecution from the Patriarchal Age to the Reign of George II - Exploring the Roots and Impact of Historical Persecution

Samuel Chandler

Sinopsis

In 'The History of Persecution, from the Patriarchal Age, to the Reign of George II,' Samuel Chandler presents a sweeping analysis of the socio-political dynamics underlying religious persecution throughout history. Using a chronological framework, this erudite work examines the patterns of oppression against various religious groups, from ancient societies to the early modern period. Chandler's prose is characterized by its rigorous attention to detail and a commitment to presenting a balanced narrative, which invites readers to consider the ethical implications of religious intolerance across different epochs. Notably, his examination reveals the cyclical nature of persecution, wherein historical parallels resonate within contemporary issues of faith and freedom. Samuel Chandler, a prominent Dissenting minister and theologian of the 18th century, was deeply influenced by the religious climate of his time, particularly the struggles faced by nonconformists in England. His own experiences with persecution informed his scholarly pursuits, prompting him to explore broader themes of liberty and justice. Combined with his academic background and religious convictions, Chandler felt compelled to illuminate the often-ignored historical injustices that could inspire reflection and change among his contemporaries. Readers seeking a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of the patterns of persecution across history will find Chandler's work invaluable. This book serves as both a historical record and a call to action against ongoing injustices, resonating powerfully in today's world. Scholars, students, and anyone interested in the evolution of religious freedom will appreciate Chandler'Äôs meticulous research and compelling narrative.

Bandwidth Recovery For Schools -...

Cia Verschelden, Kofi Lomotey

Each of us has a finite amount of mental bandwidth, the cognitive resources that are available for learning, development, work, and everything else we have to do. These "attentional resources" are not about how smart we are but about how much of our brain power is available to us for the task at hand. When bandwidth is taken up by the stress of persistent economic insecurity or the negative experiences of racism, classism, homophobia, religious intolerance, sexism, ableism, etc., there is less available for learning and growth. This is as true for young children and youth as for their parents and teachers. 
 
 
 
Cia Verschelden describes strategies that can help students recover bandwidth, including acknowledging the "funds of knowledge" of students and their families, promoting growth mindsets, using reflective practices to build a sense of belonging for all students, fostering peer collaboration, and implementing restorative practices in lieu of punitive measures. She offers practical ideas for creating more teacher-supportive systems and addresses how administrators can harness teachers' ideas to create inclusive learning environments for all students. All of us have a stake in a public school system from which students emerge as fully-formed learners and thinkers and who believe in their ability to affect what happens to them and their communities.

Infinite Reality - Avatars...

Anónimo

“Enough with speculation about our digital future. Infinite Reality is the straight dope on what is and isn’t happening to us right now, from two of the only scientists working on the boundaries between real life and its virtual extensions.” 
—Douglas Rushkoff, author of Program or Be Programmed 
Can our brains recognize where ""reality"" ends and ""virtual"" begins? Where will technology lead us in five, fifty, or five hundred years? An unrivaled guide to our digital future that has been cited by the Supreme Court, Infinite Reality is a mind-bending ""journey through the virtual universe"" (Wall Street Journal). Jim Blascovich and Jeremy Bailenson, two pioneering authorities, explore the profound potential of emerging technologies and reveal how our brains behave in digital worlds. 
 
Along the way, Bailenson and Blascovich examine the timeless philosophical questions of the self and ""reality"" that arise through the digital experience; explain how virtual reality's latest and future forms—including immersive video games and social-networking sites—will soon be seamlessly integrated into our lives; show the many surprising practical applications of virtual reality, from education and medicine to sex and warfare; and probe further-off possibilities like ""total personality downloads"" that would allow your great-great-grandchildren to have a conversation with ""you"" a century or more after your death. 
Equally fascinating, farsighted, and profound, Infinite Reality is an essential guide to our virtual future, where the experience of being human will be deeply transformed.

Classical Japan - Art Power and...

Rolf Hedger

The classical era of Japan was defined by a rich interplay of art, power, and evolving traditions, spanning the Nara, Heian, and Kamakura periods. The Nara Period saw the establishment of Japan’s first permanent capital, heavily influenced by Chinese culture, with Buddhism gaining prominence and shaping religious and artistic developments.  
The Heian Period marked the height of imperial court culture, where poetry, literature, and refined aesthetics flourished under the rule of aristocratic families like the Fujiwara. It was also during this time that the kana writing system emerged, giving rise to literary masterpieces such as The Tale of Genji. As courtly elegance gave way to the rise of the samurai, the Kamakura Shogunate ushered in a new era of warrior rule, led by the Minamoto clan.  
The establishment of a military government transformed Japan’s political landscape, laying the groundwork for feudal society while facing external threats like the Mongol invasions. These three periods together shaped Japan’s cultural and political identity, leaving an enduring legacy that continues to influence the nation today.

The Khmer Empire - History of...

Kelly Mass

Historians describe Cambodia as the Khmer State or the Angkorian Empire (Khmer:) from the 9th century to the 15th century, when it was a Hindu/Buddhist empire in Southeast Asia. The empire, which developed from the old societies of Funan and Chenla, governed and/or "vassalized" the majority of mainland Southeast Asia and parts of Southern China, covering from the suggestion of the Indochinese Peninsula northward to modern-day Yunnan province in China, and from Vietnam westward to Myanmar. The Khmer Empire was greater at its peak than the Byzantine Empire (Eastern Roman Empire) that existed at the exact same period. 
The site of Angkor, in modern-day Cambodia, which worked as the Khmer capital throughout the empire's prime time, is maybe its most long-lasting tradition. The stunning Angkor structures, like Angkor Wat and Bayon, attest to the Khmer Empire's incredible strength and wealth, remarkable art and culture, architectural strategy, visual accomplishments, and the series of belief systems that it bought from in time. Angkor was the world's biggest pre-industrial cosmopolitan center between the 11th and 13th centuries, according to satellite photography. 
Let’s learn more about what we know about the happenings in this vast empire from so long ago.

Party People - Candidates and...

Allan Sikk, Phillip Koker

Candidates are the literal "face" of political parties, yet they are not wedded to them permanently: candidates can enter or leave politics, switch parties, move along or stay behind when parties split or merge. Even in parties that look stable, candidate change happens below the surface, ultimately altering what the parties stand for. Inspired by evolutionary theories, Party People: Candidates and Party Evolution conceptualizes candidates as "party genes" and develops a candidate-based approach to party evolution. Tracking candidates between elections and parties opens up new perspectives on party development in complex and dynamic settings in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and beyond. Based on a new database of 200,000 electoral candidates from over sixty elections across nine CEE democracies, this book presents a groundbreaking study of party evolution using candidate change as an indicator of party change. Allan Sikk and Philipp Köker offer a series of methodological and conceptual advances for the measurement of candidate turnover, party fission and fusion, programmatic change, and party leadership change; the resulting analyses make a significant contribution to the study of CEE party politics as well as to the general scholarship on elections, parties, and political change.
