Breaking the cinematic tradition of Jesus being played by a white, English speaking actor, the Lumo project pours its efforts to create the truest account of the four Gospels as possible. Using the very latest digital technology to create seamless miracles and realistic re-buildings of Jerusalem, as well as other towns and cities, the four-part series is able to do more than was ever possible before. Not only with computers do the people behind the Lumo Project create a tangible 1st century Holy Land. Using the latest research in history, theology, and archaeology, they are able to create a series filled with a rugged authenticity. Despite all the technological wizardry and thorough research, there is one thing that is always kept at the heart of these adaptations: The Gospel. Each film present's the text of its Gospel unedited. No words changed, added, or taken away. They are simply narrated in both NIV and KJv by famed actors David Thelfall (Master and Commander) and Stephen Tompkinson (Wild at Heart) as the film's population all speak in the correct, era-appropriate, Hebrew.

“(A] skillfully told history of the quest to find black holes.” —Manjit Kumar, Financial Times Black holes are the best-known and least-understood objects in the universe. In Einstein’s Monsters, distinguished astronomer Chris Impey takes readers on a vivid tour of these enigmatic giants. He weaves a fascinating tale out of the fiendishly complex math of black holes and the colorful history of their discovery. Impey blends this history with a poignant account of the phenomena scientists have witnessed while observing black holes: stars swarming like bees around the center of our galaxy; black holes performing gravitational waltzes with visible stars; the cymbal clash of two black holes colliding, releasing ripples in space time. Clear, compelling, and profound, Einstein’s Monsters reveals how our comprehension of black holes is intrinsically linked to how we make sense of the universe and our place within it.

A memoir of lessons learned from an Ojibwe grandmother during the time of Relocation Why, her mother asked, did Janis keep running away from kindergarten? She wanted to go home. But not to the house they had just moved to in Duluth, with its gravel yard and traffic noise. She was a country girl, and home was the log cabin among the wildflowers on the Leech Lake Indian Reservation in Bena, Minnesota. Knowing they were now going to stay in the city, Janiss parents offered her a compromise: during the summer, Janis could leave the bustle of Duluth and live with her grandmother on the Fond du Lac Reservation, listening to stories, learning Ojibwe, and finding her place in the world. In Sugar Bush Babies, Janis A. Fairbanks returns to that time of Relocation, dislocation, and discovery, taking us home with her through stories of childhood and lessons learned at her grandmothers knee, enveloped in love and tradition. Through the eyes of a child and the teachings of an elder, Fairbanks revisits her life during Indian Relocation from reservations to urban areas, from Ojibwe villages to white communities whose ideas about Indians came from Hollywood Westerns. Recalling her early childhood at Leech Lake, her school days in Duluth, and her summers in Fond du Lac, Janis brings the gifts of living history full circle, continuing the traditions of carrying family lore, womens wisdom, and Indigenous culture from generation to generation. There are tales told at nighttime or during thunderstorms; lessons in Native medicine; stories of Grandmas recollections of boarding school, Daddys days as a lumberjack, and Mothers special powers; memories of wash days and dancing, of powwows and Girl Scout camp, of snaring rabbits, selling lilacs, and attending the circus. A lyrical memoir, Sugar Bush Babies conveys the eloquence of women speaking and sharing through generations and the lasting power of tradition. Autorid: Janis A. Fairbanks

"This book engages with an age-old question: What accounts for the persistence of Jewish culture through the ages? Despite significant variations, how were Jewish cultural elements sustained over millennia? Mother's Milk: Essays on Child-Rearing, the Household, and the Making of Jewish Culture expresses the idea that a stage of the human experience is excluded from Jewish culture that includes the earliest phases of child-rearing in household context. Author Deena Aranoff argues that the inclusion of child-rearing would help strengthen the idea that Jewish cultural production is not restricted to the channels of rabbinic and literary activity alone. Mother's Milk expresses how Jewish practices, including rabbinic halakhah, are derived from household custom and maternal care in particular. Aranoff encourages us to revise the genealogy of Jewish culture to allow for dialectical interplay between everyday life and formal Jewish practice"-- This book engages with an age-old question: What accounts for the persistence of Jewish culture through the ages?

And yet it was at best an impotent cry. For there has never lived a people worth writing about who have not shaped out a destiny for themselves or carved out their own opportunity.” With this political statement, J.E. Casely Hayford begins his novel of African emancipation. Semi-autobiographical, it is the story of Kwamankra, a man who, like the author, traveled from Africa to London to become a lawyer. Through dialogue with his English friend Whitely, knowledge of historical and contemporary events in Africa, and his relationship with the lovely Mansa, Kwamankra comes to believe in full independence for his homeland and his people.With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of J. E. Casely Hayford’s Ethiopia Unbound: Studies in Race Emancipation is part of the Mint Editions catalog. Autorid: J. E. Casley Hayford, Mint Editions

Liam (17) kägistas oma armsa tädi ja lükkas ta tiiki. Josh (11) pani kooli keemialaborisse süütepommi. Thomas (16) tappis kruvikeerajaga kolm täiskasvanud meest. Layla (12) osutus enese teadmata pedofiiliks. Amelia (12) süütas kodu, et tappa oma perekond. Sally (12) vigastas ja piinas neid, kes teda armastasid ja hoidsid. Eric (15) pussitas suvalist inimest näkku. Miks? Mis sunnib last toime panema esmapilgul arusaamatu ja jõhkra kuriteo? Seda uurib doktor Duncan Harding 1 Briti kohtupsühhiaater, kelle arvamust ootavad nii politsei kui kohus. Ta on eksperttunnistaja, kelle ülesanne on teha kindlaks kohtualuse vaimne seisund ning suutlikkus astuda kohtu ette ning seejärel oma arvamust kohtusaalis kaitsta. Vägivaldsest kodust pärit Harding õppis arstiks, sest tahtis olla hea ja lahke inimene ning ravida terveks oma parandamatult haige ema. Tema paeluv ja ühtaegu hirmuäratav raamat annab haruldase võimaluse kiigata Briti kliinikutesse ja kohtusaalidesse, kus patsientide ja süüdistatavate rollis on lapsed ja noorukid. Sarimõrvarid, süütajad, pussitajad 1 ja pedofiilid. Koduvägivald ja jõugud, südantlõhestavad lood, kurjast vaimust vaevatud saatused. Siin rullub lahti maailma kõige hullem ja uskumatum pahupool, mida tasakaalustab doktor Hardingi ja tema kolleegide empaatia ja mõistmine. 1Miks ühiskonnas kõrvale jäetud noored, kellelt on võetud nende hääl, hävitavad kogu seda elu ja ilu, mis neid hapras ja hinnalises maailmas ümbritseb? Tunnen, et minu kohus on sellest jutustada, tuua valguse kätte südantlõhestavad juhtumid ja sündmused, et püüda mõista neid äärmuslikke käitumismustreid.1 Autorid: Duncan Harding

The early 3rd century AD saw the Roman Empire confronted with an increasing number of problems: the northern frontiers shattered under the impact of attacks at the hands of Germanic and Sarmatian tribes, while the Persians ravaged the Eastern provinces almost with impunity. Economic crisis, the effects of the Antonine Plague, endless usurpations and climate change brought the Roman Empire to the verge of collapse. In the year 238 AD, the Emperor Alexander Severus was murdered at Mainz by his own troops. The accession of his successor Gaius Iulius Verus Maximinus ushered in five decades of inner unrest and enemy incursions, in which emperors in quick succession constantly fought among themselves while desperately trying to stabilize the tottering Empire. The fateful era of the Soldier Emperors had begun. This book seeks to provide a concise overview over organisation, tactics, and equipment of the Roman army at the beginning of this era, and also sheds light on Maximinus' German campaign, in which Rome's army once more ventured deep into unconquered German territory. The discovery of the Harzhorn battlefield has enabled archaeologists and historians to reconstruct a dramatic episode from this dramatic time. Autorid: Jan Eschbach

In a series of imperial adventures in the mid- to late nineteenth century, often in cooperation with the Royal Navy, the United States Navy put armed landing parties ashore in Africa, Asia, and Central and South America. Their purpose was chiefly to protect Americans and their national interests, but such parties also served to safeguard international communities against the “savage hordes” of “uncivilized” nations. The following century saw landings against more developed nations such as Mexico and Russia. Specially designed light field guns carried aboard gunboats and larger warships sometimes supported the bluejackets and marines, customarily when larger parties more likely to face sharp actions went ashore.In Armed Bluejackets Ashore, Nelson Lawry explores in meticulous detail a subject area barely considered in previous American naval histories: that of US Navy landing guns. From the bronze Dahlgren muzzleloading smoothbore howitzer deployed extensively during and after the Civil War, to the final 3-inch naval landing gun, the Mark XI, which likely saw use in the Philippines during 1942, this book chronicles the history and characteristics of every model of US Navy landing gun in service between 1850 and 1942. It is an account of a largely forgotten but fascinating part of US naval ordnance development, evolved in the exciting context of interdepartmental wrangling, coercive diplomacy, swashbuckling military adventure, and actual combat.

Consider your surroundings. Maybe you're in a house or in an apartment building. Maybe you're at a desk in an office building, or in a cafe looking out on a lively main street. The urban landscape is not simply the backdrop to your life. It determines, to a remarkable degree, what kind of life you're able to live. Today, the horizons of American life are constrained by a built environment that has not significantly changed since the 1970s. American cities used to constantly evolve, experimenting with new urban designs and ambitious infrastructure projects, from railroads and subways to public housing and shopping malls. But now we keep pursuing the same 20th century urban development plans-freeways, downtown office towers, suburban housing developments. This pattern is why Americans are so dependent on their cars, why housing is so expensive and homelessness is at crisis levels, and why downtowns are struggling and communities are fraying. In The Unfinished Metropolis, Benjamin Schneider argues that city-building is a lost art. We need to embrace new transportation technologies, new types of housing, new ways to use streets other than for cars and parking. In this insightful and entertaining tour of the built environment, Schneider explores common urban designs that shape our lives and color our cultural imagination: office parks, apartments, single family homes, and transit systems. He explains how these forms came to be, why they no longer function as promised, and introduces readers to the advocates and professionals around the country who are working on transformative new solutions. Learrung from past mistakes, we can remake our cities and create better lives for ourselves and future generations. Autorid: Benjamin Schneider

To understand why prisons are frequently overcrowded and expanding, we need to recognize the processes that populate them. How do societies decide whom to criminalize? What does it mean to accuse someone of being an offender? Entryways to Criminal Justice analyzes the thresholds that distinguish law-abiding from criminalizable individuals. Contributors to the volume adopt social, historical, cultural, and political perspectives to explore the accusatory process that place persons in contact with the law. Emphasizing the gateways to criminal justice, truth-telling, and overcriminalization, this interdisciplinary collection provides important insights into often overlooked practices that admit persons to criminal justice. It is essential reading for scholars, students, and policy makers in the fields of socio-legal studies, sociology, criminology, law and society, and postcolonial studies.Contributors: Dale A.

How do otherwise considerate human beings do cruel things and still live in peace with themselves? Drawing on his agentic theory, Dr. Bandura provides a definitive exposition of the psychosocial mechanism by which people selectively disengage their moral self-sanctions from their harmful conduct. They do so by sanctifying their harmful behavior as serving worthy causes; they absolve themselves of blame for the harm they cause by displacement and diffusion of responsibility; they minimize or deny the harmful effects of their actions; and they dehumanize those they maltreat and blame them for bringing the suffering on themselves. Dr. Bandura’s theory of moral disengagement is uniquely broad in scope. Theories of morality focus almost exclusively at the individual level. He insightfully extends the disengagement of morality to the social-system level through which wide-spread inhumanities are perpetrated. In so doing, he offers enlightening new perspectives on some of the most provocative issues of our time, addressing:Moral disengagement in all aspects of the death penalty—from public policy debates, to jury decisions, to the processes of execution The social and moral justifications of major industries—including gun manufacturers, the entertainment industry, tobacco companies, and the world of "too big to fail" finance Moral disengagement in terrorism, and how terrorists rationalize the use of violence as a means of social change Climate change denial, and the strenuous efforts by some to dispute the overwhelming scientific consensus affirming the impact of human behavior on the environment“Al Bandura is the most cited individual in the history of psychology for the depth, breadth and originality of his ideas and writings. Now with his ground-breaking new contribution, Moral Disengagement, his reach extends not only to teachers and students but also to the general public --making them aware of everyday evils in many spheres of daily life that must be counteracted by mindful moral engagement.” ----Phil Zimbardo, Ph.D. Author, The Lucifer Effect; President, The Heroic Imagination Project“The authoritative statement by the world’s most-cited living psychologist, laying out his influential theory. Plunge into these fascinating historical and modern case studies of moral disengagement—morality tales for all time, illuminated by the psychology of how people do harm to themselves and others.”-- Susan T. Fiske, Psychology and Public Affairs, Princeton University "This fascinating book is a sad reminder of the ubiquity of moral disengagement; it is a much needed call to arms; and it is even a practical primer of how to engage with others in ways that recognize and build on our shared humanity. It helps us identify and resist what threatens to diminish each of us and reminds us that morality is less about the ends we seek to achieve and more about the means we use. "----Thomas D. Cook, Joan and Serepta Harrison Professor of Ethics and Justice, Professor of Sociology, Psychology, Education, and Social Policy, Northwestern University; and Senior Fellow, Mathematica Policy Research, Washington, DC “Dr. Albert Bandura is one of the great behavioral scientists of our time. His superb contributions include a deep analysis of human morality, its fundamental importance and the complexity of its development.” ----David A.

"In this well-crafted scholarly work, Abbot Gregory Polan offers a timely exposition and meditation upon the treasures to be found in the canticles that are part of the daily round in the Liturgy of the Hours. This, together with Abbot Gregory's highly acclaimed commentary on the psalms, will be a rich resource for all who pray together 'in the person of Christ' for the People of God and the whole world each day." Arthur Cardinal Roche, prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments "With the prayerful depth of a senior monk, the careful precision of a scripture scholar, and the personal warmth of a spiritual companion, Abbot Gregory opens up the Old and New Testament canticles for all believers, but especially those who succumb to the lure of the Liturgy of the Hours. Even if you have prayed these canticles for many years, here you will dive more deeply into their context, structure, and meaning. You will find no better guide inhabiting the fields of liturgy, scripture, and prayer." Fr. Paul Turner, pastor, Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Kansas City, MO' "No one is more qualified to write this unique set of reflections on the canticles of the Liturgy of the Hours than Abbot Gregory Polan. Not only does he have the experience of praying the divine office daily during his decades of monastic life, but he is a renowned scholar whose insights stem from deep engagement with the biblical text. An essential resource that addresses a long-neglected component of the divine office!" Ronald D. Witherup, PSS, adjunct professor at St. Mary's Seminary and University, Baltimore "Volumes have been written on the history, structure, and traditions of the divine office, but rarely have authors examined just the canticlesthe 'little songs' that punctuate the Liturgy of the Hours. In this book, we are treated to the insights of an historian, the mind of a biblical scholar, the soul of a poet, the heart of a believer, and the experience of a monk whose life has been shaped by the rhythm of beloved texts. This book will certainly encourage scholarship and enrich prayer." Rita A. Thiron, executive director, FDLC, Washington, DC Gregory J. Polan is a Benedictine monk and priest who served as abbot primate of the Benedictine confederation at Sant'Anselmo in Rome from September 2016 to September 2024. Before this, he was abbot of Conception Abbey for twenty years, where he also taught courses in scripture and biblical languages. He holds a doctorate in biblical theology from the Pontifical Faculty of St. Paul University, Ottawa, Canada. Autorid: Gregory J. Polan
