At the Bright Hem of God

At the Bright Hem of God

Radnorshire, a county rural and remote. The lives of its sparse population continue to be shaped by the wild landscape of valleys and mountains in ways that for Britain now lie in the past. Yet down the centuries Radnorshire has fascinated and inspired, as a place of contemplation, exploration, creation and retreat. In At the Bright Hem of God Peter J. Conradi examines both his own relationship with the place and responses to it by writers from Gerald of Wales,who passed through in 1176, to the present day. On the way he takes in fifteenth century court poets; the metaphysicals Herbert, Vaughan and Traherne; the Romantic poets and Rousseau (who almost lived there and whose ideas did); diarist Francis Kilvert and his editor William Plomer; artist Eric Gill and poet David Jones; Bruce Chatwin, whose On the Black Hill is the most famous Radnorshire novel; and poets R.S.Thomas, Roland Mathias and Ruth Bidgood, the county's current remembrancer. The result is an astonishing account,a trip across landscapes and borders - physical, emotional and intellectual - the culmination of over forty years of visiting and living there. Conradi's perceptive narrative is complemented by superb ink drawings by the Radnorshire artist Simon Dorrell to produce a beautiful book, a love letter to a place still hidden from most of the country.

I Kunst for smarte strateger kan du lese om kunstsamleren Peter Lorange og kunstnerne som er representert i hans samling. De siste par tiårene har Lorange ervervet kunstverk etter ti kriterier som har sitt utgangspunkt i hans virksomhet som forretningsmann og akademiker, og som han ofte fatter strategiske beslutninger etter. Disse kriteriene er kvalitet, mangfold, risiko og usikkerhet, nettverksbygging, hastighet, syklusstyring, disiplin, proaktivitet, positivitet, og ærlighet og integritet.Når Lorange står overfor vanskelige valg, «konsulterer» han kunst fra samlingen som kan bidra med nye dimensjoner og føre til bedre avgjørelser. Kunsten er rett og slett en slags samtalepartner.Forfatter Peter Lorange har en doktorgrad i Business Administration fra Harvard. Han har en mangfoldig bakgrunn som leder i akademia (MIT, Wharton, BI og IMD) og som reder, investor og gründer (S. Ugelstads Rederi, Lorange Institute, S. Ugelstad Invest). English:In Art & Business you can read about the art collector Peter Lorange and the artists represented in his collection. Over the last couple of decades, Lorange has acquired works of art according to ten criteria that have their basis in his activities as a businessman and academic, and which he often makes strategic decisions according to. These criteria are quality, diversity, risk and uncertainty, networking, speed, cycle management, discipline, proactivity, positivity, and honesty and integrity.When Lorange is confronted with difficult choices, he ‘consults’ art from the collection which can contribute with new dimensions and lead to better decisions. Art is simply a kind of conversational partner.Author Peter Lorange holds a PhD in Business Administration from Harvard. He has a diverse background as a leader in academia (MIT, Wharton, BI and IMD) and as a shipowner, investor and entrepreneur (S. Ugelstads Rederi, Lorange Institute, S. Ugelstad Invest).

What role does history play in contemporary society? Has the frenetic pace of today’s world led people to lose contact with the past? A high-profile team of researchers from across Canada sought to answer these questions by launching an ambitious investigation into how Canadians engage with history in their everyday lives. The results of their survey form the basis of this eye-opening book. Canadians and Their Pasts reports on the findings of interviews with 3,419 Canadians from a variety of cultural and linguistic communities. Along with yielding rich qualitative data, the surveys generated revealing quantitative data that allows for comparisons based on gender, ethnicity, migration histories, region, age, income, and educational background. The book also brings Canada into international conversation with similar studies undertaken earlier in the United States, Australia, and Europe. Canadians and Their Pasts confirms that, for most Canadians, the past is not dead. Rather, it reveals that our histories continue to shape the present in many powerful ways.

Marcus, an enforcer in Los Angeles' largest drug cartel, is gravely wounded while on cartel business in Colombia. While recuperating back in LA, Marcus falls in love with Sabrina, the adopted daughter of ex-cartel member, Max Brutus. When Sabrina doesn't reciprocate Marcus' overbearing exultations of love, he enlists the guidance of his seemingly shrewd Uncle Sein, the cartel's second-in-command, to assist him in navigating his feelings. Sein, who also suffers from his own emotional deficiencies, is eager to help his nephew, and concocts a plan to bring Marcus and Sabrina together. With one hasty decision, Sein ignites a series of events that results in colossal misunderstandings, unimaginable jealousy, and deadly consequences. As Marcus and Sein are forced to confront the brutal aftermath, each man embarks upon a personal, spiritual journey. Along the way, they both discover the love that exists in their hearts, and perhaps, how to make peace with their inner demons.

In the near future, an army of a half million Russian, North Korean, and Middle-Eastern soldiers launches a coordinated offensive, invading the United States with unparalleled precision. They call themselves the People's Liberating Army - the PLA. May and Winston Sparrow live directly on the PLA's route to sack Atlanta and gain control of the airport. The Sparrows, married fifty years, don't intend to flee the looming invasion. Like many others in the tiny town of Johnsonville, Georgia, they dig in and make preparations. Winston, a retired structural engineer, devises a simple strategy - build a false wall inside their small barn and wait out the offensive, hidden inside. They have enough supplies to last a while, but to the Sparrows' horror, instead of just passing through, the PLA converts their property into a headquarters, and their secret sanctuary becomes an unwelcome front row seat to the atrocities of war. What will you do when the United States is invaded?

Duce: The Contradictions of Power: The Political Leadership of Benito Mussolini
Eighty years after the fall of Benito Mussolini, controversy remains about what his dictatorship represented. This reflects the different sides to the Duce's leadership: while adept at nurturing and enforcing his personal political power, Mussolini's lack of insight into the requirements of governance prevented him from converting this power into influence to achieve his goals. His efforts to maintain the support of Italy's conservative elites--economic, social and political--also created tensions with his radical Fascist ambitions, diminishing the momentum behind his regime. Mussolini is frequently portrayed as a charismatic leader, but his rule was secured principally by coercion, violence and a 'spoils system'. Nonetheless, his personality cult had significant popular appeal, even if based upon a political myth. This enabled him to consolidate his position and to dominate his Fascist colleagues--but at a price of over-centralized, dysfunctional decision-making. In this book, the first comprehensive English-language study of Mussolini in nearly two decades, Peter J. Williamson brings to life the contradictions within the Duce's leadership. Using a wide range of sources, Williamson reveals how these conflicts impeded the dictator's ambitions, leaving him increasingly frustrated, all while most Italians endured the severe privations of both failure and Fascism.
Contradiction in the Book of Proverbs

Contradiction in the Book of Proverbs

Despite the welcome revival of scholarly interest in Biblical Wisdom, the Book of Proverbs remains neglected. It continues to be seen as a disorganised repository of traditional banalities, while Job and Qohelet are viewed as more exciting texts, in revolt against Proverbs' conventional wisdom. Contradiction in the Book of Proverbs argues that this misleading consensus owes more to scholarly presuppositions than to the content of Proverbs; it sees Proverbs as a challenging work, one that aims to provoke a critical appropriation of wisdom and in which diverse sources have been skilfully brought together by a creative final editor to form a complex unity. Many divergences from the Hebrew in the Greek witness to the translator's discomfort with his spikey, provocative original. Peter Hatton challenges many existing scholarly assumptions and calls for a re-evaluation of the role and significance of Proverbs in relation to the other biblical wisdom books and the whole canon.
