Sound Theology: A Reader brings to life in English for the first-time primary, curated sources associated with the pipe organ controversy in the Netherlands during the Reformation. Chief among the entries is Gisbertus Voetius's essay on Organ and Church Music from his magnum opus Politicae Ecclesiastica. In addition, other translations include professors, preachers, and laypeople's voices from archival manuscripts and first-edition monographs. Together, Sound Theology's two volumes tell a little-known but colorful and foundational story that shaped Reformed worship for centuries to come.

Chuck, Appearance and Reality

Chuck, Appearance and Reality

Kelly Dean Jolley

UNIVERSITY OF EXETER PRESS
2026

How can we know the minds of others? How can we make our own mind known? On the face of it, Chuck appears to be a fun and funny network TV show merging spy thriller with romantic comedy, a piece of popular art. But the show reveals hidden depths, exploring paradoxes of the human condition in each episode, and justifying a closer reading. This book uncovers the density and resonance of this beloved TV show through a full-length study rooted in ordinary language philosophy. Chuck’s journey from ‘Everyman’ to reluctant spy, constantly grappling with the blurred lines between his real life and his espionage adventures, is rich material for philosophical reflection. The book delves into the show’s intricate narrative and character arcs, unearthing profound insights into themes of appearance and reality, trust, identity and the complexities of human connection. By paying close attention to language and dialogue, the book exposes the plights of minds that the characters’ words reveal and conceal. Kelly Dean Jolley, the author, has written extensively on Wittgenstein and ordinary language (everyday) philosophy, as well as on Seinfeld and The Simpsons. This volume will appeal to those interested in Chuck, TV-Philosophy, and the problem of other minds. It is written to be accessible to any reflective reader.

Reagan, Bush, Gorbachev

Reagan, Bush, Gorbachev

Norman A. Graebner; Richard Dean Burns; Joseph M. Siracusa

Praeger Publishers Inc
2008
sidottu
This work is a contemporary chronicle of the Cold War and offers an analysis of policy and rhetoric of the United States and Soviet Union during the 1980s. The authors examine the assumptions that drove political decisions and the rhetoric that defined the relationship as the Soviet Union began to implode. This work demonstrates that while the subsequent unraveling of the Soviet empire was an unintended side effect of Mikhail Gorbachev's reforms, termination of the Cold War was not. Ronald Reagan deserves full credit for recognizing Gorbachev's sincerity and his determination to change the direction of Soviet policies. For this, Reagan felt the full wrath of anticommunist hawks for doing business with a communist leader. But it was Gorbachev who concluded the superpowers had become mesmerized by ideological myths which ruled out any meaningful discussions of a possible accommodation of political issues for more than four decades. The evidence is compelling that Gorbachev himself broke the Cold War's ideological straight jacket that had paralyzed Moscow and Washington's ability to resolve their differences. Though politically weakened, Gorbachev conceded nothing to U.S. military superiority. Never did he negotiate from a position of weakness. In doing so, the last Soviet leader faced even greater political and physical risk. Without Gorbachev the end of the Cold War could have played out very differently and perhaps with great danger.

Before Us On the Road: Passages From My Reading

Before Us On the Road: Passages From My Reading

William J. Dean

At age 25, while a student at law school, I began copying in a journal, in longhand, favorite passages from my reading.I feared that by failing to do so, I would be unable to recall what had given me such pleasure and knowledge. I have continued this practice for 57 years.My journals are a treasure trove for me as a lawyer, writer and in daily living. In this book, I have selected favorite passages from 125 writers, among them Keats, Dickens, Chekhov, Montaigne, Camus, Tolstoy, Lincoln, Thoreau, Moliere, Pushkin, Van Gogh and Oscar Wilde. The book is dedicated to all the writers appearing therein.I read the passages over and over again. On the train, as it proceeds along the majestic Hudson River. In Venice, on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, as cruise ships and tugs pass the Doge's Palace, there I am with journal in hand. And I do so on the East Green at 70th Street in Central Park across from the Frick Collection when seated on the grass leaning against my favorite oak tree. The writings deepen my life, and since I often read them aloud, enrich my use of the spoken language. In hundreds of my published essays, I have drawn upon these passages. Dear Reader, I hope my shared selections will give you pleasure as well.This is the third book published by me. The others are "My New York: A Life in the City" and "Into Distant Countries". Both are available through Amazon.com.

Fik Dean et bedre liv, da han blev anbragt uden for hjemmet? Og hvad betyder anbringelser egentlig for de mange børn, der hvert år ender i familiepleje eller på døgninstitution? De spørgsmål bliver behandlet i bogen her.Dean har aldrig været på forsiden af Ekstra Bladet eller hovedperson i en tv-dokumentar. Han er ‘bare’ et af de flere tusinde børn, der hvert år anbringes uden for hjemmet, uden at vi hører om det. Heller ikke, når anbringelsen bryder sammen, og barnet igen må pakke sit tøj og flytte et nyt sted hen. Deans mor var misbruger. Hans far var ude af billede. Dean selv var blot 15 måneder, da han første gang blev sat i familiepleje. Tilbage stod en papmorfar og to veninder til moren. Bogen 'Dean' følger ham fra barndomshjemmet over to plejefamilier og en døgninstitution, indtil han ender i netværkspleje hos moderens barndomsveninde. Bogen viser, hvor svært det er at navigere i anbringelsessager; som familie, som plejefamilie og som fagfolk. Journalist Kirsten Holm-Petersen giver en nuanceret beskrivelse af alle de små og store beslutninger, der fik indflydelse på en drengs barndom og opvækst. Både Dean selv, hans papmorfar og de involverede fra Københavns Kommune har givet tilladelse til, at fagpersonerne i drengens liv må udtale sig.Alle, der arbejder med eller er involverede i udsatte børn og unges liv, kan blive klogere af denne bog. Den viser, hvilken enorm afstand der kan være mellem barnets bagland og ‘systemet’. Kirsten Holm-Petersener journalist og kommunikationsrådgiver med speciale i anbringelsesområdet. Hun skriver blandt andet for fagblade og løser opgaver for organisationer, foreninger og institutioner på socialområdet.
