Beschreibung

In "Frederick the Great and the Rise of Prussia," William Fiddian Reddaway masterfully surveys the geopolitical and cultural ascent of Prussia under Frederick II. This scholarly work intricately interweaves narrative history with political analysis, utilizing a rich tapestry of primary sources and contemporary accounts that illuminate the complexities of 18th-century European power dynamics. Reddaway's engaging yet academic prose brings to life the multifaceted personality of Frederick, exploring his military innovations, administrative reforms, and patronage of the arts, all of which contributed to Prussia's emergence as a formidable state. Reddaway, a prominent historian and scholar of German history, was deeply influenced by the political climate of his time, which included the burgeoning nationalism in Europe and the intricate web of alliances that characterized the era. His thorough research and profound insights reflect a lifelong dedication to understanding the forces that shaped modern Germany. Reddaway'Äôs expertise is further underscored by his ability to contextualize Frederick's era within the broader trends of Enlightenment thought and military strategy. This book is an essential read for historians, students, and anyone intrigued by European history, as it encapsulates the essence of Frederick's transformative reign. Reddaway's nuanced analysis not only enhances our understanding of Prussia's rise but also prompts readers to reflect on the broader implications of leadership and statecraft in shaping national identity.

    Do you believe in evolution, but do not see this belief as necessarily negating the existence of an advanced Intelligence?  
    If so, you may find comfort, inspiration, and perhaps even proof for your beliefs within this ancient Hindu work.  
    The Aitareya Upanishad, which dates back to somewhere around 600-500 BCE, takes us through a journey … the journey of creation. It then leads us through the evolutionary changes that have brought us into this day and age and beyond, into the stage of existence that the ancient Hindus believed would come next. We were all created, the Hindus tell us, for a reason, and we are all evolving towards a particular state of beingness.  
    How can the Hindus be so sure that evolution is fact, and how can they be so sure that there is some sort of Intelligence behind it all? The Hindu religion is the oldest on earth. Their ancestors claim to have actually witnessed a small portion of evolution in action, and through their experiences, also claim to have discovered the underlying intent of life (both in the general and the individual sense). This work goes into these experiences and the insights the Hindus claim to have gained from them. 
    Also included in this narrative is an early Hindu concept of time and space that is extremely difficult to wrapt the human mind around. These concepts, however, coincide very closely with the findings of modern physics. 
    This work is my interpretation of the Aitareya Upanishad. I have endeavored to simplify its teachings, expand where needed, and include modern concepts, discoveries, and quotes to make the central concepts found within it more digestible to modern seekers, especially beginners.

    The war between the protestant Netherlands, mostly led by William of Orange, and Catholic Spain, was one of the marks in Dutch history. This war has determined the beliefs of many people who now live about the three rivers that go through the country: Most of the people north of the rivers are protestant, and most of the believers below them (even throughout Belgium as well) are Catholic. This is no coincidence. 
    The war in the 1600s has become a symbol of Dutch resistance, independence, and the royal family (of Orange). In that sense, traditions date back hundreds of years, some them that have their roots in this century. Learn more about what caused the 80 years of war between these two countries, how France was involved, and how it helped form the boundaries and borders of those countries today.

    Producing the Acceptable Sex Worker considers how sex work is produced in news media narratives, a site where much of the general public draws its understanding of the industry in the absence of lived interaction with it. Taking New Zealand as a case study, this book considers an emerging discourse of acceptability for some sex workers, primarily those who do low-volume indoor work. Their acceptability is established in comparison with other kinds of sex workers, resulting in a redistribution but not a reduction of stigma. The conditions attached to acceptability reflect persistent anxieties about sex work: workers who are acceptable must give the impression that the sexual labour of the job is enjoyable and virtually indistinguishable from their personal life, eliding the work involved. Unacceptable workers have existing marginalisations magnified by their association with the industry, with migrant sex workers produced as devious or exploited, and transgender women’s involvement with the industry used to deny them the right to public space. The conditions attached to acceptability reveal how neoliberal discourses of choice, desire, authenticity, and personal responsibility inform the formation of sex work in the public eye.
