    Surprised by Hope

    Surprised by Hope

    Mooi exemplaar. Dikke paperback als nieuw. Engelstalig.

    What do Christians hope for? To leave this wicked world and go to 'heaven' For the 'kingdom of God' to grow gradually on earth? What do we mean by the 'resurrection of the body', and how does that fit with the popular image of sitting on clouds playing harps? And how does all this affect the way we live in the here and now? Tom Wright, one of our leading theologians, addresses these questions in this provocative and wide-ranging new book. He outlines the present confusion about future hope in both church and world. Then, having explained why Christians believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus himself, he explores the biblical hope for 'new heavens and new earth', and shows how the 'second coming' of Jesus, and the eventual resurrection, belong within that larger picture, together with the intermediate hope for 'heaven'. For many, including many Christians, all this will come as a great surprise. Wright convincingly argues that what we believe about life after death directly affects what we believe about life before death. For if God intends to renew the whole creation - and if this has already begun in Jesus' resurrection - the church cannot stop at 'saving souls', but must anticipate the eventual renewal by working for God's kingdom in the wider world, bringing healing and hope in the present life. Lively and accessible, this book will surprise and excite all who are interested in the meaning of life not only after death but before it.

    1177 B.C.

    1177 B.C.

    Halflinnen. Band deels verkleurd. Geen stofomslag. Net binnenwerk. Engelstalig. [9780691140896]

    In 1177 B.C., marauding groups known only as the "Sea Peoples" invaded Egypt. The pharaoh's army and navy managed to defeat them, but the victory so weakened Egypt that it soon slid into decline, as did most of the surrounding civilizations. After centuries of brilliance, the civilized world of the Bronze Age came to an abrupt and cataclysmic end. Kingdoms fell like dominoes over the course of just a few decades. No more Minoans or Mycenaeans. No more Trojans, Hittites, or Babylonians. The thriving economy and cultures of the late second millennium B.C., which had stretched from Greece to Egypt and Mesopotamia, suddenly ceased to exist, along with writing systems, technology, and monumental architecture. But the Sea Peoples alone could not have caused such widespread breakdown. How did it happen?

    In this major new account of the causes of this "First Dark Ages," Eric Cline tells the gripping story of how the end was brought about by multiple interconnected failures, ranging from invasion and revolt to earthquakes, drought, and the cutting of international trade routes. Bringing to life the vibrant multicultural world of these great civilizations, he draws a sweeping panorama of the empires and globalized peoples of the Late Bronze Age and shows that it was their very interdependence that hastened their dramatic collapse and ushered in a dark age that lasted centuries.

    A compelling combination of narrative and the latest scholarship, 1177 B.C. sheds new light on the complex ties that gave rise to, and ultimately destroyed, the flourishing civilizations of the Late Bronze Age—and that set the stage for the emergence of classical Greece.

    Screened Out

    Screened Out

    Paperback in redelijke staat. Snedes en schutbladen roestvlekkerig. Prima leexexemplaar. Engelstalig.

    ‘Watching the president’s Christmas message produces this necropolar, white-mass sensation. Seeing the video broadcast of the Christmas service in the cathedral itself, with these pathetic screens and the young worshippers slumped around them here and there, you tell yourself that God and religion deserved better. Deserved to die, yes, but not this. However, watching the presidential figure and his sonorous inanity, you tell yourself that here at least you got what you deserved. Chirac is useless – that goes without saying – but so are we all ... Uselessness of this kind has no origin: it exists immediately, reciprocally; like a shared secret, you savour it implicitly – with its warm bitterness – particularly in these cold snaps, as the very essence of the social bond. Sanctioned by that other interactive uselessness – the uselessness of the screen.’

    World-renowned for his lively and often iconoclastic reading of contemporary culture and thought, Jean Baudrillard here turns his hand to topical political debates and issues. In this stimulating collection of journalistic essays Baudrillard addresses subjects ranging from those already established as his trademark (virtual reality, Disney, television) to more unusual topics such as the Western intervention in Bosnia, children’s rights, Holocaust revisionism, AIDS, the Rushdie fatwa, Formula One racing, mad cow disease, genetic cloning, and the uselessness of Chirac. These are coruscating and intriguing articles, not least because they show that Baudrillard is – pace his critics – still susceptible and alert to influences from social movements and the world beyond the hyperreal.

    The Nuremberg Interviews

    The Nuremberg Interviews

    Dikke hardback met stofomslag in goede staat. Engelstalig. Prima exemplaar. Met 33 zwart-wit foto's.

    "The Nuremberg Interviews" reveals the chilling innermost thoughts of the former Nazi officials under indictment at the famous postwar trial. The architects of one of history's greatest atrocities speak out about their lives, their careers in the Nazi Party, and their views on the Holocaust. Their reflections are recorded in a set of interviews conducted by a U.S. Army psychiatrist. Dr. Leon Goldensohn was entrusted with monitoring the mental health of the two dozen German leaders charged with carrying out genocide, as well as that of many of the defense and prosecution witnesses. These recorded conversations have gone largely unexamined for more than fifty years.
    Now, Robert Gellately-one of the premier historians of Nazi Germany-has transcribed, edited, and annotated the interviews, and makes them available to the public for the first time in this volume.
    Here are interviews with the highest-ranking Nazi officials in the Nuremberg jails, including Hans Frank, Hermann Goering, Ernst Kaltenbrunner, and Joachim von Ribbentrop. Here, too, are interviews with the lesser-known officials who were, nonetheless, essential to the workings of the Third Reich. Goldensohn was a particularly astute interviewer, his training as a psychiatrist leading him to probe the motives, the rationales, and the skewing of morality that allowed these men to enact an unfathomable evil. Candid and often shockingly truthful, these interviews are deeply disturbing in their illumination of an ideology gone mad. Each interview is annotated with biographical information that places the man and his actions in their historical context. These interviews are a profoundly important addition to our understandingof the Nazi mind and mission.

    De grootste kraak in krantenland - Het drama Apax bij PCM

    Paperback in goede staat.

    De uitgever van dagbladen en boeken, PCM, heeft voor een commerciele uitgever een uitzonderlijke bedrijfsstructuur. De aandelen zijn in handen van stichtingen met een ideeel doel. In de snel veranderende markt van dagbladen, boeken en elektronische media werd in 2004 echter plotseling de helft van de aandelen aan het Britse private equity fund Apax verkocht. Adviseur van de Centrale Ondernemingsraad, Arie van der Zwan, had daar ernstig voor gewaarschuwd, maar de PCM-top zag in Apax een unieke kans om 'eindelijk te investeren in nieuwe ontwikkelingen en de mogelijkheid om de basis van het bedrijf te verbreden'. De afloop is bekend. Van een beursgang van het bedrijf en het verbreden van de basis kwam niets terecht. In 2007 vertrok Apax weer; PCM in diepe schulden achterlatend en zelf 110 miljoen euro rijker.
    De rol die Apax in de geschiedenis van de Nederlandse pers speelde verdient een gedegen onderzoek. In de discussies over de rol van durfinvesteerders in de Nederlandse economie wordt de periode Apax bij PCM terecht als afschrikwekkend voorbeeld genoemd.
    De grootste kraak in krantenland geeft een verhalende reconstructie van het drama bij Nederlands belangrijkste mediabedrijf. Waarom verdwenen kranten als Het Parool en het halve AD en uitgeverijen als Prometheus en het zelfstandige Meulenhoff, bij PCM? Hoe begon de leegloop onder het personeel? En wie profiteerde er het meest van de 'kraak'? Welke rol speelden de met bonussen beloonde managers en waarom zwegen de vakbonden en personeelsvertegenwoordigers zo lang? Voor dit boek voerden de auteurs gesprekken met hoofdrolspelers en deden zij uitgebreid bronnenonderzoek.
