Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
I refuse to describe Iran as a victim. It is not. It is one of the most influential and strong-minded nations on Earth. Like Russia and China in Euro Asia and in Asia, like Venezuela, Cuba and before the coup, Bolivia, Iran is spreading hope and revolutionary optimism in its entire part of the world. And it is an extremely wounded part of the world, where hope is absent, but desperately needed. - Andre Vltchek Badak Merah's 'The Message for Humanity by Andre Vltchek' series presents his collection of essays written on Iran to prove, as the title suggests, how powerful and determined Iran is as a Socialist, internationalist country, and at the same time, demonstrates through his years of collaboration with Iranian intellectuals, why the world needs Iran to combat Western imperialism.

Process Theology
Author: Bruce G. Epperly
Publisher: Energion Publications
ISBN: 1631992570
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 45
Book Description
Process theology is considered a very complex and difficult to understand system. Is it possible to get a basic grasp of what it is and how it impacts our lives and service to others? In this brief, lively, and engaging book, Dr. Bruce Epperly untangles the difficult concepts of process theology and shows how we can envision a God who is in relation to us throughout our lives here and in the next world. He believes that “God is present at the moment of our conception, guides us through the adventures of this lifetime, urging us to rejoice in embodiment and bring healing to our world, and upon our final earthly breath receives us with open arms with visions of future adventures in communion with God and our fellow creatures.” Not only is this theology easy to understand, but it also challenges us to live out God’s adventure in with joy, sharing God’s life with all of God’s creatures. This book is an excellent introduction to process theology, useful for small groups or individual study, and includes a list of resources for further study.

Private Bestiary
Author: Kendrick Smithyman
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781877441172
Category : New Zealand poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
By the time he died in 1995, Kendrick Smithyman was regarded as one of New Zealand's most important poets. For decades, though, the uncompromisingly intellectual, relentlessly experimental Smithyman had to endure marginalisation and even ridicule at the hands of conservative editors and critics. Some of Smithyman's work was so far ahead of its time that it can only now hope to find a wide audience. Private Bestiary consists of poems discovered by Scott Hamilton during his exploration of the massive collection of private papers Smithyman bequeathed to the University of Auckland library. These previously-unseen pieces illuminate aspects of Smithyman's life and work that were hitherto obscure, and help us appreciate the extent of his achievement as a writer and a man. Reading Private Bestiary, we discover the young Smithyman protesting passionately about the marginalisation of Maori culture, at a time when most Pakeha intellectuals were oblivious to the subject. We see Smithyman experimenting with surrealism and with the prose poem in the conservative 1950s, when most other Kiwi poems were content to compose in traditional forms and use dowdily 'realistic' imagery. We encounter a series of 1960s poems which mix confessions about Smithyman's troubled personal life with black commentaries on the state of New Zealand society. We discover a number of wild, weirdly fragmented poems that appear to be attempts at a Rimbaud-like 'alchemy of the word'. Scott Hamilton is a social scientist as well as a literary scholar, and the notes he supplies at the back of Private Bestiary explain the historical and political as well as the literary significance of these extraordinary discoveries.

Debating World Literature
Author: Christopher Prendergast
Publisher: Verso Books
ISBN: 1789609372
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 482
Book Description
In the continuing debates about the cultural dimensions of globalization, the question of 'literature' has been something of a poor relation. This volume seeks to redress the balance. It takes as its starting point Goethe's idea of Weltliteratur, from which it then travels out to various parts of the globe at different historical junctures. Among its many concerns are the legacies of Goethe's idea, variable understandings of the term 'literature' itself, cross-cultural encounters, the nature of 'small literatures', and the cultural politics of literary genres. With contributions from many of the leading voices in the field, Debating World Literature seeks to transcend the pieties and simplifications of polemic in a search for the complexity embodied in the linking of the two terms 'world' and 'literature'.

Echoes in the Darkness
Author: Joseph Wambaugh
Publisher: Bantam
ISBN: 0804150672
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 420
Book Description
On June 25, 1989, the naked corpse of schoolteacher Susan Reinert was found wedged into her hatchback car in a hotel parking lot near Philadelphia's "Main Line." Her two children had vanished. The Main Line Murder Case burst upon the headlines--and wasn't resolved for seven years. Now, master crime writer Joseph Wambaugh reconstructs the case from its roots, recounting the details, drama, players and pawns in this bizarre crime that shocked the nation and tore apart a respectable suburban town. The massive FBI and state police investigation ultimately centered on two men. Dr. Jay C. Smith--By day he was principal of Upper Merion High School where Susan Reinert taught. At night he was a sadist who indulged in porno, drugs, and weapons. William Bradfield--He was a bearded and charismatic English teacher and classics scholar, but his real genius was for juggling women--three at a time. One of those women was Susan Reinert. How these two men are connected, how the brilliant murder was carried off, and how the investigators closed this astounding case makes for Wambaugh's most compelling book yet.
