Описание: Propaganda came of age in the Twentieth Century. The development of mass- and multi-media offered a fertile ground for propaganda while global conflict provided the impetus needed for its growth. Propaganda has however become a portmanteau word, which can be interpreted in a number of different ways. What are the characteristic features of propaganda, and how can it be defined? This book traces the development of techniques of 'opinion management' from World War I to the war in Afghanistan. It reveals how state leaders and spin-doctors operating at the behest of the state, sought to shape popular attitudes - at home and overseas - endeavouring to harness new media with the objective of winning hearts and minds. In doing so, it provides compelling evidence of how the study and practice of propaganda today is shaped by its history.

Описание: Saber Santana was raised an outcast in the midst of a tight-knit religious community. In order to save herself from a forced marriage and protect her crippled mother from further abuse at the hands of the tyrannical leader of the church, she manages to sneak them away in the dead of night and find safety in a mining town in the Colorado Mountains. The problem is she is determined to seek retribution for the wrongs done to her mother, and doing so puts her in jeopardy of being arrested or killed. Noah Kincade comes from a life of privilege. Everything he's ever desired has come to him easily. The code he lives by is simple: Strive for honesty at all times, put your trust in the just and moral rules that govern society, right is right and wrong pays a price in the end. Lives are changed irrevocably the fateful day these two cross paths, making one wonder if it's ever too late to dream a new dream or learn to see things differently.

Whether we are touched by the 2015 migrant crisis in the Mediterranean or the heated debates about the status of the (260+ million) displaced persons in our different societies, all of us have been affected by the «age of migration.» Marco Micone’s hybrid text, which through this translation will now be available to English readers, is made up of autobiographical snapshots, brief commentaries, and a short theatrical exchange. It includes the author’s own childhood experiences in Italy and his emigration as a teenager with his family to Qu?bec. The author’s clear-sighted, often tongue-in-cheek descriptions continue to be relevant today, not least when he explores the challenges of the Canadian policy of multiculturalism and Qu?bec’s decision to choose a different, «intercultural» model to defuse the springing up of ethnic village-like ghettos, particularly in urban centers like Montr?al. His promise to the Francophone Qu?b?cois that «one hundred peoples coming from afar» would ensure that the French-speaking community could endure within the North American context, has been borne out by his own texts. The author writes with passion, with sincerity and, as literary critic Gilles Marcotte notes, with an intelligence that often helps to stretch the reader.

The history of Charismatic Christianity in the Nordic countries reaches as far back as Pentecostalism itself. The bounds of these categories remain a topic of discussion, but Nordic countries have played a vital role in developing this rapidly spreading form of world-wide Christianity. Until now, research on global Charismatic Christianity has largely overlooked the region. This book addresses and analyzes its historical and contemporary trajectories in Finland, Norway, and Sweden. Through a selection of cases written by Nordic scholars from various disciplines, it demonstrates historical and contemporary diversity as well as interconnections between local, national, and global currents. Highlighting change and continuity, the anthology reveals new aspects of Charismatic Christianity.

The book offers detailed descriptions of the unique collection of decorative stones in the Necropolis and discusses the deposits that were most likely used to create them. In addition, it characterizes the processes of stone and bronze monuments’ degradation in response to physical, chemical and biogenic influences. Special attention is paid to describing the monitoring methodology and the structure of the monitoring information database. Drawing on the methodologies and cases presented here, the book subsequently puts forward a strategy for the conservation and restoration of these unique monuments.
This book approaches practical questions of monuments preservation that will be of interest to museum staff, restorers and experts in various fields (geologists, biologists, chemists, engineers, etc.) whose work involves problems of cultural heritage preservation. The book is interesting for everyone who is not indifferent to the history and preserving of the world culture.
