Free Download Jeb Brugmann, "Welcome to the Urban Revolution: How Cities Are Changing the World"
English | 2009 | ISBN: 1596915668, 0670068055, 1608190927 | EPUB | pages: 156 | 0.8 mb
The revolutions that have taken place around the world during the last fifty years-the ousting of Marcos and the Shah of Iran; the fall of communist regimes in Eastern Europe; the end of Apartheid in South Africa and, indeed, the civil rights revolution in America-were fundamentally urban revolutions. They were the revolutions of Manila, Teheran, Gdansk, Leipzig, Berlin, Johannesburg and Detroit, muscular assertions of new classes of city-dwellers intent on ending their marginalization as they struggled to build their new livelihoods, freedoms and communities in cities. In Welcome to the Urban Revolution, Jeb Brugmann argues that the city itself had become our era's medium for revolutionary change: not only political, but technological as well. Though we think of them as a hotbed for poverty and crime, cities are not just a source of problems and conflict. They can also be a source of solutions to the major problems of our day: poverty, social inequality and environmental sustainability.

English | 2009 | pages: 216 | ISBN: 0830825320 | PDF | 5,5 mb
"Who do you say that I am?" This question that Jesus asked of his disciples, so central to his mission, became equally central to the fledgling church. How would it respond to the Gnostics who answered by saying Jesus was less than fully human? How would it respond to the Arians who contended he was less than fully God? It was these challenges that ultimately provoked the Council of Nicaea in A.D. 325.

Free Download We Are All Migrants: A History of Multicultural Germany
English | 2023 | ISBN: 1009242296 | 285 Pages | PDF | 4 MB
In 2015, Germany agreed to accept a million Syrian refugees. The country had become an epicenter of global migration and one of Europe's most diverse countries. But was this influx of migration new to Germany? In this highly readable volume, Jan Plamper charts the groups and waves of post-1945 mobility to Germany. We Are All Migrants is the first narrative history of multicultural Germany told through life-stories. It explores the experiences of the 12.5 million German expellees from Eastern Europe who arrived at the end of the Second World War; the 14 million 'guest workers' from Italy and Turkey who turned West Germany into an economic powerhouse; the GDR's Vietnamese labor migrants; and the 2.3 million Germans and 230,000 Jews who came from the Soviet Union after 1987. Without minimizing racism, We Are All Migrants shows that immigration is a success story - and that Germany has been, and is, one of the most fascinating laboratories on our planet in which multiple ways of belonging, and ethnic, national, and supranational identities, are hotly debated and messily lived.

English | 30 Mar. 2023 | ISBN: 0141994266 | True EPUB | 384 pages | 18.8 MB
Recent years have seen rapid advances in 'artificial' intelligence, which increasingly appears to be something stranger than we ever imagined. At the same time, we are becoming more aware of the other intelligences which have been with us all along, unrecognized. These other beings are the animals, plants, and natural systems that surround us, and are slowly revealing their complexity and knowledge - just as the new technologies we've built are threatening to cause their extinction, and ours.

Free Download Watermelon Cookbook: 40 New Watermelon Recipes by Nancy Silverman
English | April 16, 2019 | ISBN: 1094762032 | 108 pages | EPUB | 4.11 Mb
Watermelon is the most popular fruit in the USA, and for good reason! It's sweet, crunchy, and oh-so-satisfying on a hot summer day. Its high water content also makes it a very hydrating fruit and good for the skin. In fact, watermelon is so beneficial to human health that it was often placed in the ancient burial tombs of the Egyptian kings in order to provide the nourishment for them in the afterlife. This is hardly surprising when you are considering that just one glass of watermelon juice can contains can 19.4 mg of the natural Vitamin C, representing 20.0% of the daily recommended value for adults. While many people are used to the plain, seed-spitting variety of watermelon, it's actually a very versatile fruit that can be added to many dishes.

Free Download Was the Reformation a Mistake?: Why Catholic Doctrine Is Not Unbiblical By Matthew Levering; Kevin J. Vanhoozer
2017 | 240 Pages | ISBN: 0310530717 | EPUB | 1 MB
Was the Reformation a mistake?In its actual historical context, it hardly seems fair to call the Reformation a "mistake." In 1517, the Church was in need of a spiritual and theological reform. The issues raised by Renaissance humanism - and by the profound corruption of the Church's leaders, the Avignon papacy, and the Great Schism in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries - lingered unresolved. What were key theological problems that led to the Reformation?Theologian Matthew Levering helps readers see these questions from a Catholic perspective. Surveying nine key themes - Scripture, Mary, the Eucharist, the Seven Sacraments, monasticism, justification and merit, purgatory, saints, and papacy- he examines the positions of Martin Luther and makes a case that the Catholic position is biblically defensible once one allows for the variety of biblically warranted modes of interpreting Scripture. At the same time, Levering makes clear that he cannot "prove" the Catholic case.The book concludes with a spirited response by "mere Protestant" theologian Kevin J. Vanhoozer.
