Sinossi

Celestial Thrones explores how cultures throughout history have envisioned celestial realms as seats of power, influencing societies and reflecting humanity's deepest aspirations. Diving into the intersection of religion, history, and art, the book examines divine authority manifested in heavenly settings. From architectural depictions to theological underpinnings, it questions why many traditions envision deities in majestic locations. These visions reveal much about the desire for order and transcendence. 

 
The book traces the evolution of celestial imagery across eras and cultures, referencing Mesopotamian ziggurats and medieval Christian art. It argues that celestial thrones and kingdoms, whether literal or symbolic, mirror earthly power dynamics and societal ideals. 

 
Structured to guide readers, Celestial Thrones introduces the concept of celestial kingdoms and their significance. It analyzes examples such as Greek palaces, Buddhist Pure Lands, and the Garden of Eden, culminating in how these models influenced earthly governance and individual behavior.

    In a time of immense persecution and widespread misunderstanding, one man stood fearlessly to defend the truth of the Christian faith. "The First and Second Apologies" by St. Justin Martyr represents one of the most significant and courageous acts of Christian witness from the second century. Written as direct appeals to the Roman Emperor and the Senate, these powerful documents offer an unparalleled glimpse into the beliefs, practices, and intellectual arguments of the early Church. More than just a historical artifact, these apologies are a masterclass in reasoned and articulate faith. Justin Martyr, a brilliant philosopher himself, bridges the gap between Greek philosophy and Christian theology, demonstrating that Christianity is not a dangerous superstition but the fulfillment of humanity's highest intellectual and spiritual aspirations. In this essential text, you will explore: The fundamental beliefs of early Christians, including their understanding of God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit.A compelling defense of Christian practices, such as baptism and the Eucharist, against false accusations of immorality and atheism.The intellectual and philosophical roots of Christian thought, as Justin Martyr connects the "Logos" of Greek philosophy to the person of Jesus Christ.The unwavering courage of believers who were willing to face martyrdom rather than renounce their faith.

    Over the last decades, rivalries, bilateral disagreements, and distrust between Maghreb states have taken a toll on common political and security challenges, like the Western Sahara issue, the Libyan conflict, the destabilisation in the Sahel region and transnational clandestine flows. Moreover, the Maghreb is one of the least economically integrated regions in the world, and this leads to the region's loss in growth, and the disheartening record of missed opportunities for stability and prosperity. This is the cost of the "non-Maghreb".
    This Report aims to unpack the political and economic costs of the "non-Maghreb", understand its historical genesis and geopolitical implications and, more broadly, what the future might hold for individual countries and the Maghreb as a divided, fractious but potentially coherent whole.

    Living With My Century - A Memoir

    Eda Sagarra

    Professor Eda Sagarra, born in 1933, has been a significant and influential figure in Irish and European academic policy-making, contributing to the early development of the Erasmus scheme. Now, aged nearly 88, this memoir gives striking evidence of her self-discipline and formidable energy. This substantial memoir by one of the foremost female academics in Ireland starts with Sagarra's own perspective on committing her life story to history during the pandemic lockdown of 2020:
    The following memoir recalls for those born in the present century and schooled without the strong sense of Irish history, which defined our people from the Great Famine of the 1840s until recent times, what it was like to grow up as a woman in the twentieth century and seek a career in a man's world. It tries to re-capture as much what it felt like to the person experiencing it as what was happening in society. Younger people today who read of the restrictions to which women were subject in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, will find it difficult to comprehend why our generation and the one that followed ours didn't challenge them. But probably the greatest contrast between the Ireland of then and now was the room for manoeuvre – or rather the absence of it. Today our lives are premised on a constantly changing world. Ireland is more connected across the globe than ever it was. Today most people are mobile. The Ireland when I was young was in almost every respect a static, hierarchical and paternalist society, one in which the accident of your birth would generally determine your whole life. No life is representative, but every person's experience is unique and worth recording for those who come after us. 
    A south Dublin convent girl, Sagarra probes childhood and family, schooling, and UCD — with a perceptive commentary on the Ireland of the 1930s and 1940s. Her remarkable memory and shrewd eye for detail present at times a painfully honest account of family and in the upper middle-class world of Catholic south Dublin, revealing the profound influence of Europe during her postgraduate years in post-war Germany, Switzerland and Austria.
    Running through this forensic account of her academic life is a keen awareness of the constant if subtle barriers to female advancement.
    
    For contemporary critics reconstructing the history of gender equality in Ireland and for readers of feminist history, this makes for essential reading. Her description of retirement since 1998 is colourful, poignant and revealing, and her reflections on old age and youth resonate.
