A maioria dos cristãos concorda que a Bíblia fornece a base da missão. Chris Wright crê que, na verdade, o que existe é uma base missional para as Escrituras: elas são geradas pela missão de Deus, e

A Editora Contracorrente tem a honra de anunciar a publicaço do livro A autoridade e a globalizaço da incluso e excluso, do jurista, pesquisador e professor Hans Lindahl.Esta vigorosa obra, cuja traduço diligente de Ricardo Spindola Diniz preserva a densidade e os neologismos do original, e dividida em sete densos capitulos.Neles, Hans Lindahl, a partir de um vies filosofico, procura responder as seguintes indagaçes: "como estruturar as ordens juridicas de modo que mesmo que atualmente se fale de um Direito para alem das fronteiras estatais ainda no se vislumbre nenhuma ordem juridica global que no inclua sem excluir? Mais enfaticamente: seria este um estado de coisas necessario? (). No entanto, pode-se evitar a defesa de um relativismo quanto a assuntos globais, um relativismo que entrincheira processos excludentes e condena as ordens juridicas globais emergentes a serem instrumentos de uma incluso imperial? Seria possivel formular uma politica autoritativa das demarcaçes sem postular a possibilidade de uma ordem juridica global totalmente inclusiva nem aceitar resignaço e paralisia politica diante da globalizaço da incluso e excluso?"Ao longo do livro, essas intricadas questes so abordadas sob tres perspectivas: a conceitual, a empirica e a normativa. Na primeira, o autor revela "um modelo do Direito que mostra como e por que a incluso e a excluso so a operaço-chave da ordenaço juridica e da autoridade". Na segunda, ordens normativas so examinadas a fim de se estabelecer "se estas podem ser compreendidas como formas de Direito Global emergente", discusso particularmente interessante ao leitor brasileiro. Na terceira perspectiva, a questo central abordada e "se o modelo Aço Coletiva Autoritativa e Institucionalmente mediada (ACAI) do Direito dispe de um conceito proficuo de autoridade", uma vez que, como argumentar o autor, "autoridades no podem seno estabelecer as demarcaçes das ordens juridicas (globais) por incluso e excluso".

The Forsyte Saga John Galsworthy - The Forsyte Saga is the first part of John Galsworthys magnificent, well-loved Forsyte Chronicles, which trace the changing fortunes of the wealthy Forsyte dynasty through fifty years of material triumph and emotional disaster. The Forsyte Saga begins as the nineteenth century is drawing to a close, and the upper middle classes, with their property and propriety, are becoming a dying section of society. The Forsytes are blind to this fact, clinging to their conventions and brilliant respectability. As dignified Soames Forsyte struggles to uphold the old moral code in the face of the social revolution resulting from the Great War, his wife Irenes extraordinary beauty causes even more disruption. The bitter feud between them comes to split the Forsyte family for two generations.

Cause if and insofar as strange settlement formations of the kind I got to see on the return journey from Bhola, deep in the rural, correlate with the augumented movement of people, the narrative of urbanisation as process of concentrationextension is called into question. If other, decentring of even ex-centric, forces are impacting urban growth and reshuffling all levels of social spacethe near (habitation), the middle (the city) and the far (state and its macro-level connections)the city-hegemonic views that dominate urban studies must be abandoned once for all, and the new norm of production of space called by name.

The loss of the great fenlands of eastern England is the greatest single removal of ecology in our history. So thorough was the process that most visitors to the regions, or even people living there, have little idea of what has gone. For many, the Fenlands are the vast expansive flatlands of intensive farming, the breadbaskets of Britain. Lost are the vast flocks of wetland birds that filled the evening skies in winter, the frozen wetlands and the fen skaters of the winter, and the abundant black terns or breeding wading birds of the summer months. However, pause a while off main roads and consider place names and road names: Fenny Lane, The Withies, Commonside, Reed Holme, Fen Common, Turbary Lane, Wildmore, Adventurers Fen, Wicken Fen, and more; they tell a story of a landscape now gone but once hugely important. The Fens bred revolution and civil war and paid the penalty. They nurtured religious non-conformism with global impact. After 1066, the Saxons withheld the Normans onslaught, and in the 1970s, untings Beavers took action against twentieth-century invaders. The fenscapes, neither water nor land but something in-between, breed independence and, if necessary, dissention. This story is of politically and economically driven ecological catastrophe and loss. So much has gone, but we do not even know fully what was there before. With global environmental change, and especially climate change, fenlands once again have major roles in our sustainable futures.

An innovation in aviation development, Concorde was the subject of political rivalry, deceit and treachery from its very inception. After their failure to be the first nation to develop a jet airliner for transatlantic flight or to send spacecraft into space, the US Government was adamant that they would beat other nations to the goal of supersonic flight and so development of the SST began. However, with McNamara and Shurcliffs negative attitudes to the project, it was soon killed off. Thus began the if we cannot do it, neither can you attitude towards other countries efforts for supersonic flight. This is the story of ten years of behind-the-scenes political intrigue, making use of inside information from two American presidents and the Federal Aviation Authority, as well as recently declassified papers from the CIA and President Kennedy on how the Americans planned to destroy Concorde and their own American SST. Lavishly illustrated with black and white and colour images throughout, Concorde Conspiracy is a must read for any enthusiast on supersonic flight and anyone who enjoys a real-life conspiracy.

From a range of leading academics and historians, this collection of essays examines Irish emigration during the Great Famine of the 1840s. From the mechanics of how this was arranged to the fate of the men, women and children who landed on the shores of the nations of the world, this work provides a remarkable insight into one of the most traumatic and transformative periods of Irelands history. More importantly, this collection of essays demonstrates how the Famine Irish influenced and shaped the worlds in which they settled, while also examining some of the difficulties they faced in doing so.

From 1917 British soldiers who were unfit or too old for front-line service were to serve unarmed and within the range of German guns for weeks or even months at a time undertaking labouring tasks. Both at the time and since they have arguably not been given the recognition they deserve for this difficult and dangerous work.From non-existence in 1914, by November 1918 Military Labour had developed into an organised and efficient 350,000-strong Labour Corps, supported by Dominion and foreign labour of more than a million men. Following the war, the grim and solemn tasks of clearing battlefields and constructing cemeteries, which continued until 1921, were also the responsibility of the Corps.Here, John Starling and Ivor Lee bring together extensive research from both primary and secondary sources to reveal how the vital, yet largely unreported, role played by these brave soldiers was crucial to achieving victory in 1918.

Imagine stepping into someone elses shoes. Walking back in time a century ago, which shoes would they be? A pair of silk sensations costing thousands of pounds designed by Yanturni of Paris, or wooden clogs with metal cleats that spark on the cobbles of a factory yard? Would your shoes be heavy with mud from trudging along duckboards between the tents of a front-line hospital or stuck with tufts of turf from a football pitch? Would you be cloaked in green and purple, brandishing a Votes for Women banner, or would you be respectably dressed, restricted by your thigh-length corset?Great War Fashion opens the wardrobe of women in the years before the outbreak of war to explore the real woman behind the stiff, mono-bosomed ideal of Edwardian society, and closes it on a new breed of women who have donned trousers and overalls to feed the nation and work in munitions factories and who, clad in mourning, have loved and lost a whole generation of men.The journey through Great War Fashion is not just about the changing clothes and fashions of the war years it is a journey into the lives of the women who lived under the shadow of war and were irrevocably changed by it. Using material from her own extensive collection, renowned costume expert Lucy Adlington brings an inspiring generation of women to life with rare and stunning images alongside a narrative that is both deeply poignant and laugh-out-loud funny.

The Titanic is one of the most famous maritime disasters of all time, but did the Titanic really sink on the morning of 15 April 1912? Titanics older sister, the nearly identical Olympic, was involved in a serious accident in September 1911 an accident that may have made her a liability to her owners the White Star Line. Since 1912 rumours of a conspiracy to switch the two sisters in an elaborate insurance scam has always loomed behind the tragic story of the Titanic. Could the White Star Line have really switched the Olympic with her near identical sister in a ruse to intentionally sink their mortally damaged flagship in April 1912, in order to cash in on the insurance policy? Laying bare the famous conspiracy theory, world-respected Titanic researchers investigate claims that the sister ships were switched in an insurance scam and provide definitive proof for whether it could - or could not - have happened.
