Sinossi

"Festival Lights" explores why diverse cultures celebrate with light, particularly during the darkest months. It examines festivals like Hanukkah, Diwali, and the Chinese Lantern Festival, revealing how light symbolizes hope, renewal, and the triumph of good. These celebrations highlight our shared human experiences and the varied ways we seek meaning. For instance, Hanukkah commemorates a miracle where oil burned for eight nights, while Diwali celebrates the victory of light over darkness. The book journeys through the historical origins and evolving traditions of each festival, emphasizing the socio-political and religious contexts that shaped them. It's structured to first introduce light as a universal symbol, then delve into the rituals and symbolism of each festival, and finally, provide comparative analysis to reveal shared themes. This approach makes it easy to understand both the unique aspects and the connecting threads between these celebrations, valuable for anyone interested in World History and cultural diversity.

    Norms and standards make it easier for companies and other organisations to reliably meet high expectations. They thus contribute to our trust in a normality that is characterised by quality, safety and comfort - and is therefore by no means "normal". As necessary and effective as norms and standards are for a society based on the division of labour and complexity, the public awareness of them is low. That is why this non-fiction book provides for the first time an overview of norms and standards systems in Switzerland.
    From a historical and a future-oriented perspective, the book takes up the following questions: Why and how have norms and standards become so important in recent decades? How exactly do they create their economic and social benefits? To what extent can they hinder or promote innovation and transformation - and what potential does this offer for sustainable development?
    Journalists, academics and other experts provide answers based on fundamental articles and case studies from companies and other organisations.

    Before any type of unified political entity named Israel existed, the Jewish groups whose descendants would later form Israel identified themselves by their particular tribe. If asked their nationality or country of origin, they would likely identify themselves as Danites (from the tribe of Dan; Ex. 31:6) or Ephraimites (from the tribe of Ephraim; Judg. 12:5), etc. The main way to differentiate these tribes from other tribes in Canaan was their common worship of the deity YHWH, but in terms of language or other cultural characteristics, it would have been difficult to tell a Canaanite from an Israelite.  
    	Eventually, these separate tribes united together as a type of confederation, allies who made a treaty (covenant) to provide military aid for one another when threatened by an enemy state. But it was only under the charismatic leadership of David that the 12 tribes united into a single political entity. Scholars refer to the period encompassing the reign of David and his son Solomon as the United Monarchy. This period, spanning only two generations, was the only time when all of the tribes were politically united, and after a contentious schism that resulted because the northern tribes felt exploited by the Judean kings, the northern tribes seceded from the “United Kingdom” and reverted back to the ancient northern versus southern division of the tribes. The main difference this time was that the southern kingdom now incorporated the tribe of Benjamin, located at the border between these two new nations, within its political borders. The tribe of Simeon (south of Judah) had already ceased to maintain a separate existence. The new northern kingdom adopted the name Israel, while the southern kingdom took their regional name of Judah.
