Rank and Religion in Tikopia (Routledge Revivals)
Author: Raymond Firth
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136505512
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 431
Book Description
Originally published in 1970, this book represents a unique study of beliefs and ritual practices in a pagan religion, and of the processes by which a transformation to Christianity took place. Christianity came to the major islands of Polynesia nearly two centuries ago, and within a couple of generations, the traditional pagan religion had disappeared. Only a few remote islands such as Tikopia preserved their ancient cults. Over eighty years ago, the author first observed and took part in these pagan rites, and on later visits he studied the change from paganism to Christian faith. Unique in its rich documentation, this book presents a systematic account of the traditional beliefs in gods and spirits and of the way in which these were fused with the social and political structure. The causes and dramatic results of the conversion to Christianity are then described, ending with an examination of the religious situation at the time of the book’s original publication. The book is both a contribution to anthropology and a case study in religious history. It completes the major series of studies of Tikopia society for which the author is famous. It gives the first full account of a Polynesian religious system in a state of change.

Armageddon of a Different Order
Author: Dennis Dawson Elliott
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1532062001
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
How did Donald Trump become president? What were his qualifications? What has he accomplished since winning the election? The author suggests answers for those questions and many more in this analysis of one of the world’s most controversial political leaders. With great frequency, Trump has criticized his presidential election opponent and the previous administration even after taking office. Just as concerning, he continues to have little understanding of the power of words and how his declarations have potential negative implications and outcomes with multiple audiences. His repetitive banter has little substance, he relies on Twitter as a means of speaking loudly, and he offers little or no substantiation for his claims. While responsible reporters and media outlets have worked diligently to fact-check his statements, Trump simply dismisses the reporting as “fake news.” This book is a challenge to all Americans to stand up and support their country in reasonable, responsible, and ethical ways regardless of personal ideological leanings. It’s also a thoughtful analysis and warning about Armageddon of a different order.
