Drawing on profound insights into the transformational journey of socio-cultural change in East Germany after unification, Tobias Lehmann presents inspiring and thought-provoking interpretations of two novels by Ingo Schulze, a work by Thomas Brussig, and the memoirs of Jana Hensel and Sabine Rennefanz. He skillfully weaves the immediate historical context into the fabric of these fictional narratives, revealing the profound connections between literature and the social landscape. Lehmanns interpretations emanate from his belief that literary analysis can illuminate the intricate ties between literary works and the realities of human experience, making this subject all the more significant in light of the persistent tendencies toward rightwing politics characterized by bitterness and blame in East Germany.Throughout the book, particularly in the epilogue, the author emphasizes that grasping the deep-seated resentment driving these developments calls for an exploration of the collective feelings of uprooting and disorientation experienced by East Germans. One of the notable strengths of this work is its introduction of significant contemporary German novels to English-speaking audiences, many of which have remained untranslated for years, aside from Schulzes debut "Simple Storys".

What are we to make of Isaiahs image of Mount Zion as the highest of the mountains, or Zechariahs picture of the Mount of Olives split in two, or Daniels "beast rising out of the sea" or Revelations "great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns"? How can Peter claim that on the day of Pentecost the prophecy of Joel was being fulfilled, with signs in heaven and wonders on earth, the sun turned to darkness and the moon to blood?The language and imagery of biblical prophecy has been the source of puzzlement for many Christians and a point of dispute for some. How ironic that is! For the prophets and seers were the wordsmiths of their time. They took pains to speak Gods word clearly and effectively to their contemporaries.How should we, as citizens of the twenty-first century, understand the imagery of this ancient biblical literature? Are there any clues in the texts themselves, any principles we can apply as we read these important but puzzling biblical texts?D. Brent Sandy carefully considers the language and imagery of prophecy and apocalyptic, how it is used, how it is fulfilled within Scripture, and how we should read it against the horizon of our future. Clearly and engagingly written, Plowshares and Pruning Hooks is the kind of book that gives its readers a new vantage point from which to view the landscape of prophetic and apocalyptic language and imagery.

Este libro apareció originalmente en 2002, dentro de la colección Oxford History of Art. Esta nueva edición pretende volver a plantear la vigencia de la crítica al Movimiento Moderno, de la que Alan Colquhoun fue uno de los mas distinguidos representantes.El autor analiza la evolucion de la arquitectura moderna desde el Art Nouveau, surgido en la ultima decada del siglo XIX, hasta las aportaciones de Louis Kahn, realizadas a partir de mediados de los años 1960.El estudio analiza las complejas motivaciones que impulsaron ese Movimiento Moderno, considerado revolucionario, y da cuenta de sus exitos y sus fracasos. Se repasa tambien la actividad de los principales protagonistas del periodo (como Frank Lloyd Wright, Adolf Loos, Ludwig Mies van de Rohe, Le Corbusier y Alvar Aalto) y se ofrece una nueva vision de su papel como maestros de reconocido prestigio.Alan Colquhoun explica que la linea que ha seguido en la definicion de la arquitectura moderna es la que pertenece a la tradicion que la consideraba una arquitectura consciente de su propia modernidad que luchaba en favor del cambio. El libro trata de situarse en el espacio que queda entre las utopias idealistas de las vanguardias historicas y las resistencias, complejidades y pluralidades de la cultura capitalista.La exposicion sigue una secuencia cronologica global e intenta ser, segun el autor, menos segura en su resultado y menos triunfalista que la mayoria de las historias anteriores del Movimiento Moderno. Sigue siendo, principalmente, una historia de los maestros, debido a que esa era la naturaleza del propio Movimiento Moderno, pese a sus muchas reivindicaciones en favor del anonimato.Esta edicion española incluye un prologo de Joaquin Medina Warmburg, catedratico de Historia de la Arquitectura en la Universidad Politecnica de Karlsruhe.

The Physics of the Mind: New Perspectives for Psychotherapists, Healers, and Seekers is aimed at psychotherapists, psychoanalysts, healers, and anyone interested in the interface of physics and the mind. Both are interesting topics - even more so when combined. Phil Mollons expertise is within psychology and, over his long career, he came to realise the importance of physics to the field. In particular, the branches that place mind and consciousness in the foreground of how we might understand the universe and our place within it. There is a deep organising principle operating at all levels of the universe. It gives rise to life and is apparent within the human mind in dreams and creativity. A key lesson from quantum physics is that consciousness and the human mind are inextricably involved in the emergence of what we can observe and experience of our matter-based realm. In other words, the behaviour of the quantum realm is shaped by our observation of it. Just as we think of space-time as shaped by gravitational forces and massive bodies, so we can conceptualise mind-space. The latter contains mathematical correlithms of thought, emotion, and memory, whereby what is similar attracts more of the same in a manner analogous to gravity. These have effects within the mind and in the wider life-field. For example, severe and repeated childhood trauma creates the equivalent of black holes in the mind-space. Metaphysics posits that our matter-based universe is subtended within an infinite unified field of intelligence and creativity. We are contained within a vast mind. The principle is that unlimited guidance and knowledge is available via meditation and intuition, requiring only that we seek. It is never thrust upon us. This is a book filled with extraordinary ideas to dip into wherever curiosity and intuition lead. It is the authors fervent wish that what is within will stimulate thought and awareness, and spark continuing creative concepts concerning our place in this cosmos.

The eternal God has created the universe. And that universe is time-bound. How can we best understand Gods relationship with our time-bound universe? For example, does God experience each moment of time in succession or are all times present to God?How we think of God and time has implications for our understanding of the nature of time, the creation of the universe, Gods knowledge of the future, Gods interaction with his creation and the fullness of Gods life.In this Spectrum Multiview volume, four notable philosophers skillfully take on this difficult topic--all writing from within a Christian framework yet contending for different views. Paul Helm argues that divine eternity should be construed as a state of absolute timelessness. Alan G. Padgett maintains that Gods eternity is more plausibly to be understood as relative timelessness. William Lane Craig presents a hybrid view that combines timelessness with omnitemporality. And Nicholas Wolterstorff advocates a doctrine of unqualified divine temporality.Each essay is followed by responses from the other three contributors and a final counter-response from the original essayist, making for a lively exchange of ideas. Editor Gregory E. Ganssle provides a helpful introduction to the debate and its significance. Together these five scholars conduct readers on a stimulating and mind-stretching journey into one of the most controversial and challenging areas of theology today.Spectrum Multiview Books offer a range of viewpoints on contested topics within Christianity, giving contributors the opportunity to present their position and also respond to others in this dynamic publishing format.

The third in a series of books investigating the future of the museum, following on The Future of the Museum: 28 Dialogues (2020) and Imagining the Future Museum: 21 Dialogues With Architects (2022). Rounding out the previous volumes, which examined the "software" and the "hardware" of the museum, the 38 dialogues in the third installment of the trilogy survey the social, cultural, economic, institutional, and technological conditions of the wider ecology in which museums operate. The conversations include leading figures from around the world, engaging voices not heard in the prior volumes: artists, curators, collectors, members of the art trade, sociologists, entrepreneurs, and others. Together, they offer a portrait of an art world seeking to adapt to a rapidly changing society.Andras Szanto (*1964, Budapest) advises museums, cultural institutions, and leading brands on cultural strategy. An author and editor who oversaw the National Arts Journalism Program at Columbia University, his writings have appeared in The New York Times, Artforum, The Art Newspaper, and many other publications. Szanto, who lives in Brooklyn, has been conducting conversations with art-world leaders since the early 1990s, as a frequent moderator of the Art Basel Conversations series and as the moderator of the Global Museum Leaders Colloquium at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museums of Tomorrow Roundtable at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.
