Political Thought in the Mamluk Period covers the political thought produced by legal theorists, jurists, judges and administrators of the late Ayyubid and early Mamluk period as they tackled a central question: how best to govern their communities. It proposes a taxonomy of the main themes and concerns of this political thought under the three ideals of the rule of law, limited government and legitimate delegation of power. Further, it recommends a contextualist approach for interpreting Islamic political texts based on their narrow social, intellectual and political contexts.

Описание: An Oklahoma farm boy grows up to become a priest, a priest for life--or so Paul Hight believes and the Catholic Church teaches. Yet when mental illness descends on Hight in middle-age, instead of seeking care for him as it would a priest with cancer or heart disease, the Church purges him from its priestly ranks. While his family keeps Hight from ever becoming homeless, that safety net is not enough to keep him safe in the end. In 2000, Hight is shot and killed in an unfortunate encounter with police that is seen too often with the mentally ill on the streets of America. A decade later, still haunted by the death of his older brother, former newspaper editor Joe Hight turns his journalistic skills on finding out the truth of his brother's exit from the priesthood and the lessons to be found in his brother's death with a hope that such unnecessary sorrow might never happen again.

Автор: Olszewski Erin Marie Название: Undercover Epicenter Nurse: How Fraud, Negligence, and Greed Led to Unnecessary Deaths at Elmhurst Hospital ISBN: 151076366X ISBN-13(EAN): 9781510763661 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 24820.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Undercover Epicenter Nurse blows the lid off the COVID-19 pandemic. What would you do if you discovered that the media and the government were lying to us all? And that hundreds, maybe thousands of people were dying because of it? Army combat veteran and registered nurse Erin Olszewski's most deeply held values were put to the test when she arrived as a travel nurse at Elmhurst Hospital in the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic. After serving in Iraq, she was back on the front lines--and this time, she found, the situation was even worse. Rooms were filthy, nurses were lax with sanitation measures, and hospital-acquired cases of COVID-19 were spreading like wildfire. Worse, people who had tested negative multiple times for COVID-19 were being labeled as COVID-confirmed and put on COVID-only floors. Put on ventilators and drugged up with sedatives, these patients quickly deteriorated--even though they did not have coronavirus when they checked in. Doctors-in-training were refusing to perform CPR--and banning nurses from doing it--on dying patients whose families had not consented to "Do Not Resuscitate" orders. Erin wasn't about to stand by and let her patients keep dying on her watch, but she knew that if she told the truth, people wouldn't believe her. It was just too shocking. Willing to go to battle for her patients, Erin made the decision to go deep undercover, recording conversations with other nurses, videos of malpractice, and more. She began to share what she found on social media. Unsurprisingly, she was fired for it. Now, Erin is standing up to tell the whole horrifying story of what happened inside Elmhurst Hospital to demand justice for those who fell victim to the hospital's greed. Not only must the staff be held accountable for their unethical actions; but also, this kind of corruption must be destroyed so that future Americans are not put at risks. The deaths have to end, and Erin won't rest until the bad actors are exposed. Undercover Epicenter Nurse: How Fraud, Negligence, and Greed Led to Unnecessary Deaths at Elmhurst Hospital is a shocking and infuriating inside expos of the American healthcare system gone wrong. At the same time, it's the story of a woman who traveled from the small-town streets of Wisconsin, to the battlefields of Iraq, to the mean streets of Queens, on a quest to help fight for her country. With this book, the real battle has begun.

Описание: ‘Australian governments find it easy to go to war. Their leaders seem to be able to withdraw with a calm conscience, answerable neither to God nor humanity.’ Australia lost 600 men in the Boer War, a threeyear conflict fought in the heart of Africa that had, ostensibly, nothing to do with Australia. Coinciding with Federation, the war kickstarted Australia’s commitment to fighting in Britain’s wars overseas, and forged a national identity around it. By 1902, when the Boer War ended, a mythology about our colonial soldiers had already been crafted, and a dangerous precedent established. This is Henry Reynolds at his searing best, as he shows how the Boer War left a dark and dangerous legacy, demonstrating how those beliefs have propelled us into too many unnecessary wars – without ever counting the cost.

After the passing of their father in 1992, Harold Pritchett's children take control of high quality photographs that Harold took in the Dealey Plaza area on November 22, 1963. One son, with guidance from an unscrupulous reporter, has the photos evaluated by a Kennedy assassination historian who identifies known government operatives in incriminating circumstances. Sonny's attempt to deliver "Box 63" to researchers unravels as his family is exposed to vicious attacks from the Kansas City mob and the CIA. With the FBI in pursuit, Sonny and his wife Charlotte, devise a plan of deception and misdirection to complete the task. They encounter a mysterious "red orb" while visiting Charlotte's Hopi grandmother in Arizona. Sonny had first witnessed this phenomenon as a young boy, and now learns the orb's significance to their current undertaking. Sonny's older brother, Kevin, a State Department field investigator, along with their younger brother James and his socially subversive friends, combine their unique skills to stage a daring rescue and take lethal measures to protect their lives and the truth from a government agency despot hell-bent on preserving the state proffered historical record.
The Unnecessary Science is a necessary contribution to the debate over natural law theory in contemporary moral, metaphysical, and legal contexts. The intellectual foundations of natural law theory were laid by Aristotle, expanded by Thomas Aquinas, and refined by modern proponents such as Edward Feser. It is with all three of these thinkers that Gunther Laird takes issue.
This book is a meticulous critique of natural law theory, as proposed by these philosophers, with Laird pointing out myriad issues with the theory as pertaining to ethics (sexual and otherwise), essences, religion, philosophy of change, and the existence of God, among many other subjects. For anyone wondering what is wrong with both modern and ancient conceptions of natural law theory, this book is an essential read. For those comfortable in their belief in natural law theory, this book is equally as essential to understanding the strongest arguments of the theory's foes. Laird's book is the perfect foil to the writing of Feser, Aquinas and other natural-law adherents past and present.
"...an intellectual banquet of concepts, principles, arguments, and skeptical objections concerning religion and morality that draws upon the ideas of two of the greatest philosophers of western thought: Aristotle and Aquinas--as clarified and defended by the modern Catholic philosopher Ed Feser. Laird provides an antidote to Feser's conservative Catholic views..."
- Bradley Bowen, The Secular Outpost
"A timely and devastating philosophical riposte to natural law theory and the growing tendrils of influence it has on modern society."
- Jonathan MS Pearce, Not Seeing God: Atheism in the 21st Century
"Gunther Laird casts a critical eye over the books and blogs of Edward Feser... The work gives readers plenty to think about."

Anxiety seems to come from nowhere for most people, and strike them like a sledgehammer. One minute, living your life more or less peacefully, the next, frightened and depressed, maybe struggling to breathe, convinced you're dying, or someone else is going to die, and it's all going to be your fault. Perhaps you're seeing a doctor right away, maybe you're struggling on your own for as long as you can, but you're going to be told sooner or later that it's Anxiety.
That makes no sense whatsoever. You know what Anxiety really is. It's looking at the clock and uncomfortably asking why someone is late. When parking on a hill, it is double-checking that you put the handbrake on. It is not this living nightmare that turns every minute of each day into a troubling torment. Your natural Anxiety has become out of control and an Anxiety Disorder. Or put it another way, everyone has some fear, but not everyone has Fear. Within this book, we're talking about a disease when we give Anxiety a capital 'A, ' and you can heal from that.
Many people use self-help to stage a complete recovery. Others may also need a professional's help to finish their research, but they may go into the sessions armed with self-knowledge and a greater understanding of their illness. Anxiety, that's a black hole. It sucks your dreams, your desires, your expectations for the future, and your strength above all. But it's picky. It lays doubts, worries, and fatigue behind it. It's no wonder you feel like picking up yourself and having the resources for a treatment program. No wonder you're feeling like being in your safe place and doing as little as you can. You can transform this round. It is possible to get back from the Anxiety's dark hole. This book aims to help you set up a self-help rehabilitation plan and obey it. Acting at your own pace, you will learn to let go of Anxiety and recover your life in small measures.
Ways to use this book
You may feel ready to take on the task of working towards a full recovery. The idea may intrigue you, but you're nervous about it. Or you can sense a profound resistance to that. Whatever your current feeling of recovery is, whether you feel hopeful, depressed, or somewhere in between, you can start with this book. You can use the ideas and activities in whatever way currently serves you best, and you can come back to them at a later date when you're ready for further development. There are four different ways this book can help:
1. Relief from the worst forms of Anxiety and improved control of daily life.
You'll learn a set of essential tools to make you feel better, have more power over your life and have more confidence. By learning to relax, exercising more, eating and drinking more sensitively, learning not to be afraid of panic attacks, practicing self-exposure, and transforming negative thoughts to positive, you can feel more able to cope with your life now.
2. Recovering from the latest bout of Anxiety
In this book, there are several different approaches described. When you work through them, you will be developing a full Stress Management portfolio. Not all of them are going to work for everybody, but the only way to find out is to try each. Then you can build your rehabilitation plan.
3. Future problem-solving
Although you're over the worst, failures will happen. Life keeps posing challenges. When you're ready for them, they're not going to overpower you or drive you back to your safe retreat. When you've learned through this book, you'll be given the skills you need to prevent relapses. You're going to be able to identify Anxiety's early warning signs, and you're going to know which strategies work best for you to cope before it takes hold. So if you're facing a loss, you can look at the situation, so ask yourself what you might learn from it and how you could have done it differently.
