Tread the Citys Streets Again Mitchell Donn

Tread the City's Streets Again is the first book to explore the theology and vocation of Frances Perkins, the settlement house worker who went on to lift millions of Americans out of poverty through the creation of the Social Security system. From the slums of Chicago to the brothels of Philadelphia; from the tenements of New York to the halls of power in Albany and Washington, Perkins was guided by a deeply incarnational understanding of Christianity.Drawing heavily on her presentations as part of the St. Bede Lectures at St. Thomas, Fifth Avenue, in 1948, this book allows Perkins, mostly in her own words, to explain the theological foundations of her vocation. A lay associate of All Saints' Sisters of the Poor, Perkins was a devout Episcopalian steeped in the Anglo-Catholic tradition. As U.S. Secretary of Labor in the New Deal, she was able to translate many of the

Wolfs Lair

The Wolf's Lair was the most important German command post building during the Second World War. Orders sent from these secret headquarters would play a massive part in the outcome of the War. Ian Baxter looks in to the inner workings of Hitler's headquarters, highlighting the decisions that were made and analysing how they came about. Baxter not only utilises published works, unpublished records, military documents and archives on the subject, but also digs deep into the contemporary writings of Hitler's closest personal staff, seeking to disentangle the truth through letters written by wives, friends, adjutants, private secretaries, physicians, and of course his military staff. Baxter extensively examines life within the Fuhrerhauptquartiere, where from behind closed doors, inside the claustrophobic atmosphere of the bunkers Hitler planned and gossiped with his associates. However, as

Mártires de la Alpujarra

Este libro es una crónica muy documentada de las rebeliones de la Alpujarra durante el siglo XVI. Escrito tiempo después, su autor estaba en posesión de numerosos datos y de una perspectiva más historicista. El libro compendia, desde una perspectiva cristiana, muchos de los testimonios clásicos sobre las rebeliones acontecidas tras la conquista de Granada. Mártires de la Alpujarra es junto a Capitulaciones de la Guerra de Granada y la Historia de la guerra de Granada, un texto de referencia para comprender las guerras y los conflictos entre el mundo islámico y el cristiano durante los siglos XV y XVI. Aquí se describe una época turbulenta y poco conocida de la historia de Espańa. Mientras la nación incrementaba sus dominios en América atravesaba por un complejo proceso de integración, exterminio y confrontación entre las diversas comunidades que la integraban. Sorprende entonces, vista desde la perspectiva de la historia oficial, que cien ańos después de la entrada en Granada de los reyes católicos se impusiesen restricciones como las siguientes: Mandáronles quitar la lengua, y el hábito morisco, y los bańos: que tuviesen la puerta de su casa abierta los días de fiesta, y los días de viernes y sábado: que no usasen las leylas y zambras a la morisca: que no se pusiesen alheńas en los pies, ni en las manos, ni en la cabeza las mujeres: que en los desposorios y casamientos no usasen de ceremonias de moros, como lo hacían, sino se hiciese todo conforme a los que nuestra santa Iglesia lo tiene ordenado: que el día de la boda tuviesen las casas abiertas, y fuesen a oír misa: que no tuviesen nińos expósitos: que no usasen de sobrenombres de moros, y que no tuviesen entre ellos Gacis de los Berberiscos, libres ni cautivos.

Earth - Rebellenzeit

Apropó

Esszéiben Aich Péter a lényeg igazát nem az egyoldalú megítélésben, hanem az egyensúlyban keresi, a körültekintő mérlegelésben. Módszere a kontinuitás, az evolúció szellemében fogant, ezért nem forradalmi fölfedezéseket eredményez, végkövetkeztetése mégis gyakran meglepő épp azáltal, hogy rámutat az elfelejtett vagy félreértett értékekre, vagy mert kellemetlen tényekkel szembesít: a szabadság elsősorban felelősséget jelent. Jellemző, hogy mindenki jogokat követel, már szinte fulladozunk tőlük, már azt sem tudjuk, miféle jog illet meg, de azért csak szorgalmasan tovább követeljük, újakat is agyra-főre találunk ki, felelősséget és kötelességet viszont senki sem kér, pedig egyik a másik nélkül nem létezhet. A természetben minden úgy működik, hogy egyensúlyban van amint ez megbomlik, minden arra összpontosít, hogy az egyensúly ismét helyreálljon. Márpedig a jogoknak és a felelősségnek is egyensúlyban kell lenniük, mert ha nem így van, akkor nagy a baj, megbicsaklik a világ, meghasonlik. (Intelmek)

Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda: Overcoming Regrets, Mistakes, and Missed Opportunities Freeman Arthur

Who of us can claim never to have made a mistake, missed a goal, regretted a choice, or suffered because of another's action? For those who suffer from a constant sense of regret about the past, who feel their present lives have been immutably shaped by actions they could or should or would have taken but didn't, real help is at hand. In clear, uncomplicated language, Dr. Arthur Freeman, a leading exponent of cognitive therapy, and his colleague Rose DeWolf, a skillful translator of the cognitive method, describe the techniques and provide exercises that will enable readers to actually "unblock" the past. The authors demonstrate that wouldo/coulda/shoulda thinking can be unlearned and that this process can be accomplished in a relatively short period of
