David W Smith, "Stumbling toward Zion: Recovering the Biblical Tradition of Lament in the Era of World Christianity"
English | ISBN: 1783687770 | 2020 | 166 pages | EPUB | 1042 KB
In this powerful and challenging book, David W. Smith identifies a crisis at the heart of the church. It is the crisis of triumphalism - the tendency to avoid honest engagement with brokenness and suffering, privileging victory while rejecting the practice of lament. This imbalance, Smith argues, threatens to undermine the credibility of faith for a watching world, alienating those experiencing hardship and oppression; those wrestling with doubt, uncertainty, and loss.

States of Justice: The Politics of the International Criminal Court By Oumar Ba
2020 | 240 Pages | ISBN: 1108488773 | PDF | 4 MB
This book theorizes the ways in which states that are presumed to be weaker in the international system use the International Criminal Court (ICC) to advance their security and political interests. Ultimately, it contends that African states have managed to instrumentally and strategically use the international justice system to their advantage, a theoretical framework that challenges the "justice cascade" argument. The empirical work of this study focuses on four major themes around the intersection of power, states' interests, and the global governance of atrocity crimes: firstly, the strategic use of self-referrals to the ICC; secondly, complementarity between national and the international justice system; thirdly, the limits of state cooperation with international courts; and finally the use of international courts in domestic political conflicts. This book is valuable to students, scholars, and researchers who are interested in international relations, international criminal justice, peace and conflict studies, human rights, and African politics.

Splintered Light: Logos and Language in Tolkien's World By Verlyn Flieger (editor)
2002 | 208 Pages | ISBN: 0873387449 | PDF | 4 MB
J.R.R. Tolkien is perhaps best known for ""The Hobbit"" and ""The Lord of the Rings"", but it is in ""The Silmarillion"" that the true-depth of Tolkien's Middle-earth can be understood. ""The Silmarillion"" was written before, during and after ""The Hobbit"" and ""The Lord of the Rings"". A collection of stories, it provides information alluded to in Tolkien's better known works and, in doing so, turns ""The Lord of the Rings"" into much more than a sequel to ""The Hobbit"", making it instead a continuation of the mythology of Middle-earth. Verlyn Flieger's expanded and updated edition of ""Splintered Light"", a study of Tolkien's fiction first published in 1983, examines ""The Silmarillion"" and ""The Lord of the Rings"" in light of Owen Barfield's linguistic theory of the fragmentation of meaning. Flieger demonstrates Tolkien's use of Barfield's concept throughout his fiction, showing how his central image of primary light splintered and refracted acts as a metaphor for the languages, peoples and history of Middle-earth.

Soviet Women - Everyday Lives By Melanie Ilic
2020 | 220 Pages | ISBN: 0367352311 | PDF | 3 MB
Based on an extensive reading of a broad range of women's accounts of their lives in the Soviet Union, this book focuses on many hidden aspects of Soviet women's everyday lives, thereby revealing a great deal about how the Soviet Union operated on a day-to-day basis and about the place of the individual within it. Including testimony from both celebrated literary and cultural figures and from many ordinary people, and from both enthusiastic supporters of the regime and dissidents, the book considers women's daily routines, attitudes and behaviours. It highlights some of the hidden inequalities of an ostensibly egalitarian society, and considers many wider questions, including how extensive was the 'reach' of the Soviet regime; how 'modern' was it; how far were there continuities after 1917 between the new Bolshevik regime and Russia's imperial past; and how homogenous and how mobile was Soviet society?

Song of the Forest: Russian Forestry and Stalinist Environmentalism, 1905-1953 By Stephen Brain
2011 | 240 Pages | ISBN: 0822961652 | PDF | 2 MB
The Soviets are often viewed as insatiable industrialists who saw nature as a force to be tamed and exploited. Song of the Forest counters this assumption, uncovering significant evidence of Soviet conservation efforts in forestry, particularly under Josef Stalin. In his compelling study, Stephen Brain profiles the leading Soviet-era conservationists, agencies, and administrators, and their efforts to formulate forest policy despite powerful ideological differences. By the time of the revolution of 1905, modern Russian forestry science had developed an influential romantic strand, especially prevalent in the work of Georgii Morozov, whose theory of "stand types" asked forest managers to consider native species and local conditions when devising plans for regenerating forests. After their rise to power, the Bolsheviks turned their backs on this tradition and adopted German methods, then considered the most advanced in the world, for clear-cutting and replanting of marketable tree types in "artificial forests." Later, when Stalin's Five Year Plan required vast amounts of timber for industrialization, forest radicals proposed "flying management," an exaggerated version of German forestry where large tracts of virgin forest would be clear-cut. Opponents who still upheld Morozov's vision favored a conservative regenerating approach, and ultimately triumphed by establishing the world's largest forest preserve. Another radical turn came with the Great Stalin Plan for the Transformation of Nature, implemented in 1948. Narrow "belts" of new forest planted on the vast Russian steppe would block drying winds, provide cool temperatures, trap moisture, and increase crop production. Unfortunately, planters were ordered to follow the misguided methods of the notorious Trofim Lysenko, and the resulting yields were abysmal. But despite Lysenko, agency infighting, and an indifferent peasant workforce, Stalin's forestry bureaus eventually succeeded in winning many environmental concessions from industrial interests. In addition, the visionary teachings of Morozov found new life, ensuring that the forest's song did not fall upon deaf ears.
