Описание: A compelling history of radical transformation in the fourth-century--when Christianity decimated the practices of traditional pagan religion in the Roman Empire.
The Final Pagan Generation recounts the fascinating story of the lives and fortunes of the last Romans born before the Emperor Constantine converted to Christianity. Edward J. Watts traces their experiences of living through the fourth century's dramatic religious and political changes, when heated confrontations saw the Christian establishment legislate against pagan practices as mobs attacked pagan holy sites and temples. The emperors who issued these laws, the imperial officials charged with implementing them, and the Christian perpetrators of religious violence were almost exclusively young men whose attitudes and actions contrasted markedly with those of the earlier generation, who shared neither their juniors' interest in creating sharply defined religious identities nor their propensity for violent conflict. Watts examines why the "final pagan generation"--born to the old ways and the old world in which it seemed to everyone that religious practices would continue as they had for the past two thousand years--proved both unable to anticipate the changes that imperially sponsored Christianity produced and unwilling to resist them. A compelling and provocative read, suitable for the general reader as well as students and scholars of the ancient world.

Описание: The year 1944 saw a great deal of Marine Corps activity. The early defeats suffered by America in the Pacific were past; the pivotal naval battle for Midway had been won, and the Solomon Islands had fallen once again to the Allies. As 1944 dawned, a new Marine Corps - organised, trained and armed for the coming battles - prepared to launch itself into the outer defenses of a still defiant Japan.
In this book, the 1944 re-organisation of Marine units is studied in detail, including the implementation and history behind the "fire team" concept that is still a key factor in Marine organisation and tactics today.
Автор: Thrower Anne Название: Second-Year Widow: The Path from Grief to Transformation ISBN: 1098327152 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781098327156 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 13790.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: This book is about a widow's journey through grief, and how she was transformed spiritually during her second year of grief. Because she didn't see herself as very religious, the grieving process became a journey from thinking she could handle everything on her own to realizing that with God's help, the grief path became much easier. The transformation changed her entire outlook on life. The book is a collection of memories of how she learned to accept change, including the unexpected spiritual transformation. At times touching and poignant, the book describes how she grew and transitioned during the grieving process with increasing courage and diminishing guilt. This book is for widows struggling through the grieving process. And it's for widows, like the author, who may not have initially considered that God could be there waiting to help them through the process, and they are now open to considering his help for support.

"This ... is an invitation and a portal into the practice of dance and movement as meditation. All bodies are welcome and all abilities. Anyone can dance, although many of us hold back because we don't look like dancers or because we have physical limitations. But I am willing to bet that most of you holding this book have touched a moment of transcendence or freedom in an experience of dance that leads you to explore deeper. You have a worthy guide in your hands." --from the Foreword
