Tolkien's Legendarium: Essays on The History of Middle-earth (Contributions to the Study of Science Fiction ...

5 reviews

Greenwood Press, 2000

Some *REAL* scholarship here!
Good Tolkien criticism is sadly rare. Given the amount of fan fluff that's out there, this collection of 14 essays, edited by well-established Tolkien scholars Verlyn Flieger and Carl Hostetter, comes as welcome relief. The essays, all of which are based to varying degrees on the mammoth 12-volume _History of Middle-Earth_ (hereafter abbreviated as HoME) that was recently completed by ...

Companion to Heidegger's Contributions to Philosophy:

1 review

Indiana University Press, 2001

Co-Thinking the Ab-Grund
We are enveloped in this book by an Introduction and thirteen masterful essays, on and in the Heideggerian movement of enowning, a.k.a. the event of appropriation (Ereignis). I use the word "enveloped" with care, as this book is not a presentation that the reader can enact on her or his own as if it entails simply gathering the meanings of key terms and 'ideas.' This is so because the English ...

The Church in the Power of the Spirit: A Contribution to Messianic Ecclesiology

Jurgen Moltmann

Augsburg Fortress Publishers, 1993

Gotta read it.
It has been one of the distinct pleasures of my academic life to read the works of Jürgen Moltmann. Each text I pick up I find myself enjoying more, and can measure the growth of my own theological development by how much better I am understanding Moltmann. It is, I am finding, impossible to read any of Moltmann?s texts just once and fully understand it. All the books interact and inform each ...

Contributions to Philosophy (From Enowning) (Studies in Continental Thought)

Martin Heidegger, Parvis Emad Emad

Indiana University Press, 2000

Agree with the previous reader
I am fluent in German and own a copy of the Beitraege and am reading the English together with the German. Even the translation of "Ereignis" as "Enonwing" is problematic, since "eignen" in the German means to make fit or suited or appropriate to. Krell's translation of Ereignis as appropriation or event of appropriation is much better, since it captures both owning and fitting. Besides, ...

Inspiring Progress: Religions' Contributions to Sustainable Development
Gary Gardner

W. W. Norton, 2006

Explores how the world's religions have a calling to build societies both environmentally sustainable and socially just. The absence of strong spiritual and ethical dimensions in twentieth-century development helped to produce one of the most violent, environmentally impoverished, and economically unequal centuries in human history.

Citizens of all societies age both as biological beings and as members of households in the open community. Through joining a series of essays and survey analyses, John Mogey has constructed a book that examines the way aging affects those who are growing older as well as the institutions of their society. To study the relationships between aiding the elderly and the aging process, two very different societies--the United States and ...

Greenwood Press, 2000

Best collection of Tolkien articles yet published
For a long time, Tolkien scholarship has had an uneven character. This isn't the time or place to explain why or give examples, but the appearance of this book, along with the recently published _Tolkien's Legendarium_, suggests that things may be changing and for the better. This collection of a dozen essays, all written by top-notch Tolkien scholars, possesses the highest degree of ...

The Syro-aramaic Reading of the Koran: A Contribution to the Decoding of the Language of the Koran

Christoph Luxenberg

Verlag Hans Schiler, 2007

Muslims don't even know there own book
This book shows devastating evidence at the linguistic level that the Koran is a rip off of Aramaic Christianity. The virgins of paradise are really grapes. LOL... The ancient arabs basically took an Aramaic christian liturgical(song book) text and turned it into a "new" religion. The history channel had a documentary called "Inside the Koran" where a muslim denied it's christian origins. ...

This is a must for your libaray and good material for our children to learn about our rich history. But this is only the begining for those who are in search for more light ...

Lost Chords: White Musicians and their Contribution to Jazz, 1915-1945

11 reviews
Richard M. Sudhalter

Oxford University Press, USA, 2001

More than you have any right to hope for...
Not a mere antidote to political correctness in jazz criticism; Lost Chords is a prewar cultural history, a lesson in music structure, a history of woodwind instruments, a guide to innovations in guitar tuning, AND MORE. It shows the musicians as human beings with all their failings, humor, drives, hard work, and talent. I especially loved the account of the bass sax --- an instrument that ...

Lessing and the Enlightenment: (Contributions to the Study of World Literature)

Greenwood Press, 1986

This essay collection grew out of a Hofstra University conference on the life, works, and influence of Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, the eighteenth-century German playwright, critic, and philosopher who essentially established a new national literature in Germany during the Enlightenment. The volume is divided into two main sections, in which various scholars confront and reevaluate two contrasting aspects of Lessing's character; the irrational poet ...

Psychotherapy Relationships that Work: Therapist Contributions and Responsiveness to Patients

2 reviews

Oxford University Press, USA, 2002

An example of what psychotherapy texts should be.
A multitude of studies and meta-analyses indicate that most, if not all, psychotherapy systems are equivalent in efficacy. This repeated finding suggests that emphasis on research and clinical thinking needs to shift toward what psychotherapies have in common, and how interpersonal processes in the psychotherapeutic relationship contribute to outcome. Most therapy texts seem to ignore these ...

From the Ground Up: Mennonite Contributions to International Peacebuilding

Oxford University Press, USA, 2000

In recent years, religion- and culture-based approaches to conflict resolution have been implemented at both the local and regional level. The U.S. State Department, the U.S. Institute of Peace, and other governmental agencies now recognize that religious leaders, transnational religious movements, and faith-based NGOs are central players in the post Cold War era of ethnic and religious conflict. Through the Mennonite Central Committee and its ...

Tad Waddington

Agate B2, 2007

A theory to guide and facilitate actions that make a contribution that lasts
Frankly, I did not know what to expect as I began to read this book but soon realized that, accompanied by Tad Waddington, I had embarked on a journey of discovery to learn the answer to a very important question: How can I make a contribution that lasts? Waddington asserts that "lasting contributions [begin italics] are caused [end italics]. Simply put, you [begin italics] cause [end italics] a ...

Three Contributions to the Theory of Sex
Sigmund Freud

Digireads.com, 2008

A pivotal work in the psychological theories of Sigmund Freud, "Three Contributions to the Theory of Sex" puts forth many of the foundational ideas that make up Freud's theories on sexuality. Freud argues that sexual perversion exists even among the healthy and finds its root in childhood not adolescence. Freud builds upon his "The Interpretation of Dreams" by arguing that the unconscious mind plays a significant role in sexual development and ...

A Lust for Virtue: Louis XIV's Attack on Sin in Seventeenth-Century France (Contributions to the Study of ...
Philip F. Riley

Greenwood Press, 2001

As a hot-blooded young prince, Louis XIV paid little attention to virtue or to sin and, despite his cherished title of "God's Most Christian King," violations of God's Sixth and Ninth Commandments never troubled him. Indeed, for the first two decades of his reign, he paraded a stream of royal mistresses before all of Europe and fathered sixteen illegitimate children. Yet, midway through his reign, in the critical decade of the 1680s, the lusty ...
