Total Atonement - W. Ross Hastings - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Total Atonement - W. Ross Hastings - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Total Atonement re-imagines the “apprehended mystery” of the atonement in light of the triune nature of God and the person and work of the incarnate Christ. W. Ross Hastings proposes participation as a theory or framework of atonement that holds all other models within it. He argues that God’s participation in humanity in order that humans might participate in God invites a total approach to the mystery of the atonement, that is, one that involves the whole Trinity, the whole person and history of Christ, and all the biblical motifs and theological models of atonement–– including penal substitution (properly nuanced to overcome its caricatures), Christus victor, satisfaction, vicarious life, and moral exemplar. Hastings re-examines the scope of the atonement in light of these Trinitarian, incarnational realities.

Prologues, Epilogues, Curtain-raisers, and Afterpieces - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

This collection of essays presents a fresh analysis of the complete theater evening that was available to audiences in the Restoration in early nineteenth-century playhouses. The contributing scholars focus not on the mainpiece, the advertised play itself, but on what surrounded the mainpiece for the ''total'' theater experience of the day. Various critical essays address artistic disciplines such as dance and theatrical portraits, while others concentrate on peripheral performance textsprologues, epilogues, pantomimes, and afterpiecesthat merged to define the overall theatrical event.

The Islamic State - Anthony Celso - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The Islamic State - Anthony Celso - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

This book analyses the Islamic State (IS) within a comparative framework of past Sunni jihadist movements. It argues jihadist failure to overthrow Muslim apostate states has led to a progressive radicalization of violent Islamist terror networks. This outcome has contributed over time to more brutal jihadist doctrines and tactics contributing to a total war doctrine strategy targeting Muslim apostate states (the near enemy), non-Muslim civilizations ( the far enemy) and sectarian minorities (heterodox Muslims and Christians). These extremist tendencies have been building for over a generation and have reached their culmination in the rise and fall of the Islamic State’s caliphate. Given past tendencies the emergence of yet even more radical Sunni jihadist movement is probable.

Magazine Advertising in Life during World War II - Monica Brasted - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Magazine Advertising in Life during World War II - Monica Brasted - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Magazine Advertising in Life during World War II: Patriotism through Service, Thrift, and Utility is a descriptive analysis that examines how the cultural values of service, thrift, and utility were framed in advertisements in Life magazine from 1942 to 1945.These cultural values were used by advertisers to create citizen consumers who practiced frugal consumption of advertised products and services to demonstrate their patriotism and fulfill their perceived civic duties. Patriotism through service, thrift, and utility was not limited to citizen consumers, but was also used in the advertisements to highlight the contributions of manufacturers to the total war effort. The advertisements were able to support the war and reinforce the American way of life and its consumer culture by framing service, thrift, and utility in relation to patriotism and consumption. Recommended for scholars of media studies, cultural studies, communication, advertising, history, and women’s studies.

The Development of Southern Public Libraries and the African American Quest for Library Access, 1898–1963 - Dallas Hanbury - Bog - Bloomsbury

The Development of Southern Public Libraries and the African American Quest for Library Access, 1898–1963 - Dallas Hanbury - Bog - Bloomsbury

Using the Atlanta, Birmingham, and Nashville Public Libraries as case studies, The Development of Southern Public Libraries and the African American Quest for Library Access, 1898-1963 argues that public libraries played an integral role in southern cities’ economic and cultural boosterism efforts during the New South and Progressive Eras. First, Southern public libraries helped institutionalize segregation during the early twentieth century by refusing to serve African Americans, or only to a limited degree. Yet, the Progressive Era’s emphasis on self-improvement and moral uplift influenced southern public libraries to the extent that not all embraced total segregation. It even caused southern public libraries to remain open to the idea of slowly expanding library service to African Americans. Later, libraries’ social mission and imperfect commitment to segregation made them prime targets for breaking down the barriers of segregation in the post- World War II era. In this study, Dallas Hanbury concludes that dealing with the complicated and unexpected outcomes of having practiced segregation constituted a difficult and lengthy process for southern public libraries.

A Cultural History of Modern Korean Literature - Kyounghoon Lee - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

A Cultural History of Modern Korean Literature - Kyounghoon Lee - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

A Cultural History of Modern Korean Literature: The Birth of Oppa examines the cultural and social impact of Japanese colonialism and modernity on the wider aspects of everyday life in Korea. Selected as an outstanding work in 2004 by the National Academy of Sciences in South Korea, is by any measure a remarkable work. Lee considers a wide range of literary and cultural texts, exploring significant historical moments and phenomena while critically assessing personal experience and social life, mainly how modernity, colonialism, and total war shaped national and cultural identities. This text also reflects the complex and refractory legacy of Japanese colonialism and modernity. Lee’s foray into the complex relationships between Korea, Japan, and the West offers a thoroughly engaging study of the origins of modern Korean culture and society during the first half of the 20th century. The first of its kind, Lee offers a richly vivid portrait of a rapidly changing landscape, fueled by modernity and technology, one that will appeal to general readers and students alike.

Philosophy, Biopolitics, and the Virus - Michael Lewis - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Philosophy, Biopolitics, and the Virus - Michael Lewis - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Every aspect of the pandemic was said to be ‘total,’ absolute, and undiscriminating. Its very name implied as much. The virus was everywhere, and a threat to us all. Philosophy, Biopolitics, and the Virus: The Elision of an Alternative identifies three moments within the pandemic that were conceived in such a monolithic way: (1) ‘The Science,’ which had to be unanimous if it was to assume a sovereign role, and to have us ‘follow’ it; (2) ‘non-pharmaceutical interventions,’ which were regarded as the only possible response, and without which death and disease would ‘run riot’; and (3) there was to be one sole remedy that could bring about the promised end of the restrictions, to the exclusion of every other conception of medicine, treatment, and care. In each case of seeming universality, dissent immediately identifies you as a friend of the virus. Michael Lewis argues that all of these cases have been revealing their counter-productivity ever since. The elision of an alternative shows itself obliquely in the wounds inflicted upon both society and logos itself.

Teaching the At-Risk Teenage Brain - Sheryl Feinstein - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Booktok.dk

Teaching the At-Risk Teenage Brain - Sheryl Feinstein - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Booktok.dk

Exploiting Children - Matt Spencer - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Booktok.dk

Exploiting Children - Matt Spencer - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Booktok.dk

America’s citizens want children to receive a high-quality education in clean, orderly and safe schools staffed with quality teachers, support staff and courageous educational leaders. In many communities, such a school experience is something the students will never have. Why? One or more members of the governing board desire to use their elected position for personal gain. They are Exploiters. Some desire to exploit a little. Others crave total domination of the school system and become the petty tyrants of education. Whether the exploitation is minimal or extreme, exploitative board members are highly detrimental to the effectiveness of the local school system. They destroy teamwork, morale, careers and many times entire school systems. They steal a high-quality education from children. The predominant governance structure of public education dictated by law is seriously flawed. What thousands of citizens and educators strongly desire for their schools can be discarded and replaced with the unscrupulous will of one individual. Exploitive school board members must be understood and stopped. The governance structure of public education must be changed.

China’s Assistance Program in Xinjiang - Yuhui Li - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

China’s Assistance Program in Xinjiang - Yuhui Li - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

China’s Assistance Program in Xinjiang: A Sociological Analysis examines the partnership assistance program (PAP) in Xinjiang of northwestern China, which was initially implemented by the Chinese government during the 1990s. It was dramatically upgraded in 2010 following the 2009 riot in Urumqi, the capital city of Xinjiang. The program requires that a total of nineteen provinces and municipalities from coastal and central regions of China provide a huge amount of financial, material, technical, human capital, and other resources and aid to Xinjiang for at least ten years (2010–2020). This most recent version of the PAP has generated drastic social, demographic, economic, and environmental changes in the region.Yuhui Li looks at changes in Xinjiang in recent years as a result of the PAP implementation. Xinjiang has become increasingly more industrialized, modernized, and urbanized, and is thus essential in helping the country realize the “China dream.” However, the heavily interventional PAP could bring about unexpected consequences. For example, it could potentially aggravate the already tense racial relations in the region.

The Transformative Cinema of Alejandro Jodorowsky - George Melnyk - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The Transformative Cinema of Alejandro Jodorowsky - George Melnyk - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Alejandro Jodorowsky is a theatre director, writer of graphic novels and comics, novelist, poet, and an expert in the Tarot. He is also an auteur filmmaker who garnered attention with his breakthrough film El Topo in 1970. He has been called a “cult” filmmaker, whose films are surreal, hallucinatory, and provocative. The Transformative Cinema of Alejandro Jodorowsky explores the ways in which Jodorowsky''s films are transformative in a psychologically therapeutic way. It also examines his signature style, which includes the symbolic meaning of various colors in which he clothes his actors, the use of his own family members in the films, and his casting of himself in leading roles. This total involvement of himself and his family in his auteur films led to his psycho-therapeutic theories and practices: metagenealogy and psychomagic. This book is the only the second book in the English language in print that deals with all of Jodorowsky’s films, beginning with his earliest mime film in 1957 and ending with his 2019 film on psychomagic. It also connects his work as a writer and therapist to his films, which themselves attempt to obliterate the line between fantasy and reality.

Globalization and Money - Supriya Singh - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Globalization and Money - Supriya Singh - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Globalization and Money explores how men and women, particularly the poor and the unbanked in the global South, use money in ways that empower themselves and their families. Supriya Singh argues that money as a medium of relationships across cultures is a central component of globalization. She deftly weaves theory and individual stories to show how money is emblematic of interconnected markets, the half of the world that is unbanked, and gender disparities. She shows how men’s and women’s banking patterns are tied to their management of money in the household. Migrants send money home to show they care for their families and communities left behind. Yet these remittances are far from symbolic; instead they represent more than three times the total amount of official development assistance. This book illustrates how many of the most exciting changes in harnessing people’s savings; widening credit and insurance; and lowering the cost of technologies, payments and money transfers are taking place in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Singh demonstrates how strategies to help the poor and marginalized have gone global in South–South conversations, making us rethink the contours of globalization and money.

Restoring America's Fiscal Constitution - John Merrifield - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Restoring America's Fiscal Constitution - John Merrifield - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Restoring America’s Fiscal Constitution estimates the potential impact of new fiscal rules on the U.S. economy over the next two decades. The new rules would require a cyclically balanced budget and an expenditure limit. The study shows that over the forecast period, the budget could be balanced and the total debt-to-GDP ratio reduced to the 60 percent tolerance level under this scheme, but this fiscal consolidation can only be achieved using a combination of fiscal reforms that go far beyond what has been proposed by Congress and the President. The first chapter explores the theoretical foundations of a fiscal constitution. The orthodox public finance view of public debt is contrasted with a public choice perspective. This is followed by chapters surveying the new fiscal rules enacted in other countries to address debt issues. Several chapters provide a historical perspective on U.S. debt, including a critical appraisal of our fiscal rules. New laws are proposed to address the debt crisis, and a dynamic simulation model is used to estimate the impact of the proposed laws on the U.S. economy. The final section provides a roadmap for enacting the proposed constitutional and statutory fiscal rules.

Nietzsche and Tocqueville on the Democratization of Humanity - David A. Eisenberg - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Nietzsche and Tocqueville on the Democratization of Humanity - David A. Eisenberg - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

To the extent that we worry about the future, we tend to do so with the apprehension that something may go terribly wrong. Nietzsche and Tocqueville on the Democratization of Humanity is animated more by the apprehension, what if everything should go terribly right? That foreboding indelibly colored the outlook of Friedrich Nietzsche and Alexis de Tocqueville—two thinkers seldom paired. As David A. Eisenberg argues, each in his own way envisaged the terminus toward which modernity speeds. Examining their thought allows us not only to glimpse the future that filled them with dread, but to survey a road that stretches back millennia to Athens and Jerusalem, when ideas about the primacy of reason and inborn equality of souls took root. Armed with such revolutionary teachings, a particular human type, namely the democratic, gained ascendancy. The reign of this human type portends to be so total that all other human types will be precluded in the democratic future, where what mankind''s democratization augurs is not diversification but homogenization. The questions raised in Nietzsche and Tocqueville on the Democratization of Humanity seek to broaden the horizons that history''s democratizing forces conspire to contract.

Money for Nothing - Gary Sands - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Money for Nothing - Gary Sands - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Tax incentives are a mainstay of state and local economic development strategies and have been so for decades. Evaluations of their effectiveness have provided mixed results and few recommendations that have been translated into actual policy modifications. Since the mid-1970s, the State of Michigan has allowed local governments to grant substantial property tax abatements for new investments in real and personal industrial property. The program has been extremely popular, with more than 400 different municipalities granting a total of over 17,000 abatements. Despite its prominence, the program has been subject to only limited analysis at either the State or local level. This book systematically evaluates several different dimensions of industrial property tax abatements:The book utilizes a number of analytical techniques, including GIS, regression, factor, and shift-share analyses. While the data are drawn from a single state, they represent the complete history of the tax abatement program in a state that has allowed widespread use of local tax incentives. Thus, findings about the effectiveness, efficiency, and equity of local industrial tax abatements are applicable to local and state governments across the country. Further, findings about tax abatements are instructive for most financial or tax incentive schemes.
