Описание: How 19th-century soldier, adventurer and scholar Henry Rawlinson deciphered cuneiform, the world's earliest writing, and rediscovered Iraq's ancient civilizations. This is the exciting, true adventure story of Henry Rawlinson, a fearless soldier, sportsman and explorer. From 1827 he spent twenty-five years in India, Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan. A brilliant linguist, fascinated by history, he became obsessed with cuneiform, the world's earliest writing. An immense inscription on a sheer rock face at Bisitun in Iran was the key to understanding the many cuneiform scripts and languages, and only Rawlinson had the skills to achieve the perilous ascent and copy the monument. In her gripping account, Lesley Adkins relates how Rawlinson triumphed in deciphering the lost languages of Persia and Babylonia, overcoming his bitter rival, Edward Hincks. While Rawlinson was based at Baghdad, incredible palaces with whole libraries of cuneiform clay tablets were unearthed in the ancient mounds of Mesopotamia, from Nineveh to Babylon--the great flood plain of the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers that had been fought over by so many powerful empires. His decipherment of the inscriptions resurrected these lost civilisations, revealing fascinating details of everyday life and forgotten historical events. By proving to the astonished Victorian public that people and places in the Old Testament really existed, Rawlinson assured his own place in history.

Автор: Brent Adkins, Paul R. Hinlicky Название: Rethinking Philosophy and Theology with Deleuze: A New Cartography ISBN: 1441188258 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781441188250 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 137280.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: The debate between faith and reason has been a dominant feature of Western thought for more than two millennia. This book takes up the problem of the relation between philosophy and theology and proposes that this relation can be reconceived if both philosophy and theology are seen as different ways of organising affects. Brent Adkins and Paul R. Hinlicky break new ground in this timely debate in two ways. Firstly, they lay bare the contemporary dependence on Kant and propose that our Kantian inheritance leaves us with an insuperable dualism. Secondly, the authors argue that the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze provides a way of resolving the debate between faith and reason that does justice to philosophy and theology by reconceiving of both as assemblages. Deleuze's philosophy differentiates domains of thought in terms of what they create. This seems like a particularly fruitful way to pursue the problem of the relations among philosophy and theology because it allows their distinction without at the same time placing them in opposition to one another.

Kanisha L. Adkins thought she was entering her dream job. All her work had finally paid off, and she had a chance to show the world her skills as an attorney.
However, there was a significant problem with her new workplace-a saboteur. A new coworker made it her goal in life to embarrass and impede Kanisha. This was a workplace Judas, and Kanisha had no idea what to do. She had never experienced such an intense betrayal before and certainly didn't expect it at the hands of her administrative assistant.
Kanisha recounts her experience to you not simply to tell her personal story but to show you how to spot a workplace Judas. In nine steps, she teaches you how to identify a Judas, understand the mind-set behind betrayal, protect your work, and care for yourself. She shows you when it is appropriate to simply do your job and when you need to bring up your concerns with a higher authority.
Kanisha, who is also an ordained minister, examines the spiritual and emotional causes of such a toxic mindset and shows you how to keep spiritual and emotional strength during difficult times.

La Do a, La Llorona is a poetry book about alienation and inclusion. With imperviousness and ferocity, this famous Mexican ghost crisscrosses the northern border and makes both nations her own. La Llorona is not a sympathetic figure; she preys on children and drowns them in rivers. The stories highlight her pride, beauty, and vanity. In La Do a, La Llorona, the ghost is a woman with a past, a story common to American mythology. She is Mexican, American, a woman unafraid, the most terrifying of specters. In a nation where immigrants face deportation, even death, La Do a, La Llorona is a resounding voice of victory. The ultimate American, she crushes those who bind her. Undefeated. Indefatigable. A fire on the prairie. Rolling in, the blood of the tide.

From sound art to sculpture, an appraisal of the multimedia art of Terry Adkins, featuring items from his own collection
This publication highlights the work of prolific American sculptor and performance artist Terry Adkins (1953-2014), who synthesized a deep interest in history with an improvisational approach to art-making, producing an expansive body of work that often reflects on the legacies of unsung figures in American culture.
Terry Adkins: Resounding traces the artist's development over his more than three-decade career with nearly 50 works across a variety of mediums including sound, sculpture, video and printmaking. The book includes rarely shown examples from Adkins's early work alongside some of his most celebrated pieces, bringing together selections from several acclaimed installations for the first time since their debuts. In addition, the catalog presents a range of items that the artist collected, including books, musical instruments and objects from various artistic traditions. This collection gives new insight into the breadth of Adkins' literary, musical and visual influences.
