Sinopsis

In "On the Firmness of the Wise Man," Seneca, a prominent Stoic philosopher and statesman, explores the nature of resilience and the internal fortitude required to navigate life's adversities. Through a series of poignant essays, he employs a reflective and persuasive literary style characterized by vivid metaphors and rhetorical questions that challenge readers to examine their moral convictions and emotional responses. Set against the backdrop of a tumultuous Roman Empire, Seneca's work is deeply entrenched in Stoic thought, advocating for a life led by reason and virtue rather than the whims of fortune. Seneca's own life experiences, including his exile, political intrigues, and relationship with power, inform his philosophical outlook. A tutor to Emperor Nero, he witnessed both the heights of privilege and the depths of despair, prompting him to articulate a philosophy that emphasizes the importance of inner strength and clarity in times of crisis. His personal struggles with the very ideas he espouses enrich the text, offering authenticity and depth to his philosophical discourse. This eloquent treatise is essential reading for anyone seeking wisdom in the face of adversity. Seneca's insights resonate across ages, offering timeless guidance on cultivating resilience and achieving emotional equilibrium. Readers will find inspiration in his call to embrace reason, thereby navigating the storms of life with unyielding firmness.

    The gospel of Jesus has not always been good news for Native Americans. 
     
     
     
    The history of North America is marred by atrocities committed against Native peoples. Indigenous cultures were erased in the name of Christianity. As a result, to this day few Native Americans are followers of Jesus. However, despite the far-reaching effects of colonialism, some Natives have forged culturally authentic ways to follow the way of Jesus. 
     
     
     
    In his final work, Richard Twiss provides a contextualized Indigenous expression of the Christian faith among the Native communities of North America. He surveys the painful, complicated history of Christian missions among Indigenous peoples and chronicles more hopeful visions of culturally contextual Native Christian faith. Native leaders reframe the gospel narrative in light of post-colonization, reincorporating traditional practices and rituals while critiquing and correcting the assumptions of American Christian mythologies. 
     
     
     
    Twiss gives voice to the stories of Native followers of Jesus, with perspectives on theology and spirituality plus concrete models for intercultural ministry. Future generations of Native followers of Jesus, and those working crossculturally with them, will be indebted to this work.

    The Saga of the Earls of Orkney

    This fascinating history of the Earldom of Orkney, which was established in the Viking Age, records the adventures, feuds and battles of powerful Norsemen during its first three centuries. The medieval earls of Orkney owed allegiance to the kings of Norway but their influence ranged from Britain and Ireland to Sweden and Russia, and they travelled as far as Narbonne, Crete and Jerusalem. Advised by bishops and formidable women, they and their henchmen jockeyed for power with each other and with neighbouring rulers in Scotland, often with murderous outcomes. In between the high politics and violence, the world of the earls was one of piety, poetry and feasting.
    The Saga also provides rare glimpses of culture and everyday life in northern Scotland when it was central to the Viking diaspora. Set in a recognisable landscape, it mentions features, sites and even buildings that can still be seen today.
    This new translation of the manuscripts of the Saga uses an innovative approach to presenting medieval sources to non-specialist audiences, highlighting textual variations that affect its interpretation. It also reflects saga style and language more closely than previous translations and is ideal for both research and reading aloud. This is an essential, detailed and up-to-date resource for academics and general readers who wish to know more about Viking and Norse Scotland.

    1742: the famous dome atop Saint Peter's Basilica, designed by Michelangelo, is fractured and threatened with collapse. The dome is the pride of Italy and the largest of its kind anywhere in the world. And no one knows how to fix it. 
     
     
     
    This engaging and colorful narrative tells the overlooked story of how Michelangelo's Dome was saved from disaster by three mathematicians and Pope Benedict XIV, who had asked them for help. It is a gripping story of decisive leadership, crisis management, and scientific innovation, and the resistance that was faced when sailing into the headwinds of conventional thought. 
     
     
     
    In Saving Michelangelo's Dome, Stanford-trained engineer Wayne Kalayjian illustrates how new ideas in science and mathematics established an entirely new way of looking at the world—as well as solving its complex problems. In the end, listeners will appreciate that in saving Michelangelo's Dome from collapse, these three mathematicians and one determined pope unknowingly invented the profession of engineering as we practice it today. With it, they transformed the architectural world and ushered in generations of future buildings and structures that, otherwise, would never have been built.
