Christian Thinking through the Ages takes its reader on a journey through 2,000 years of ideas. It starts with Jesus of Nazareth''s teaching, looks at speculation about Jesus himself and his significance, and describes the attempts to establish uniformity of belief both in the Roman Empire and in the late Middle Ages. It describes the thinking of medieval monks, schoolmen and friars, of the Reformation, the Scientific Revolution, and the Enlightenment, and goes on to show how the twentieth century''s political horrors led to new theological ideas, most of which have yet to trickle down to the mass of Christians. Concluding with an explanation of the various ways Christian churches disagree with each other, Christian Thinking through the Ages nonetheless ends with the hopeful thought that what Christians have in common and can share with others are ''the words of Jesus and his sacrifice''.

Police Power and Colonial Rule analyses the increasing deployment and growing authority of the police in the Madras Presidency of British India, demonstrating the centrality of policing to the colonial regime and its legacies. Beginning with the formation of a colonial constabulary in 1859, the book examines the evolving organization and structure of the force, its racial hierarchies, and response to rapidly changing political and social conditions that led up to Indian independence. Based on cutting-edge research, this work explores the contested role of the police in combating nationalist opposition and labour militancy, and shows how the police, through the formation and expansion of armed units, replaced the military in enforcing internal order and suppressing anti-colonial resistance. The book also examines the impact of colonial policing on both rural and urban society in south India and discusses how nationalists opposed police brutality while ultimately seeking ascendancy over the force. Grounded in India''s colonial history, the book is also directly relevant to the critical study of postcolonial India and colonial policing around the world. For this revised edition, the author has written a new Introduction setting out the scope of the work and placing it in the context of recent police studies.

Vorrebbe trascorrere un anno sabbatico in Alaska, purché qualcuno si prenda cura di Will, il suo fratellino “speciale” con la passione di E.T. e della madre, single da quando il marito se ne è andato. Ma i suoi piani cominciano a vacillare quando sua madre riceve una diagnosi inaspettata. Finché, un giorno, Evan sente una melodia struggente che sembra indicargli una strada… Shosh e Evan riescono a sentire una musica che nessun altro può udire. Ancora non lo sanno, ma le loro anime sono legate da sempre, e sono destinate a incontrarsi, amarsi e ritrovarsi per l’eternità. In un romanzo romantico e commovente, David Arnold ci riporta al significato più profondo dell’amore, capace di attraversare il tempo e lo spazio. Perché il vero amore, quello sì, può durare all’infinito.

Covid-19 has given renewed, urgent attention to ‘the pandemic’ as a devastating, recurrent global phenomenon. Today the term is freely and widely used—but in reality, it has a long and contested history, centred on South Asia. Pandemic India is an innovative enquiry into the emergence of the idea and changing meaning of pandemics, exploring the pivotal role played by—or assigned to—India over the past 200 years. Using the perspectives of the social historian and the historian of medicine, and a wide range of sources, it explains how and why past pandemics were so closely identified with South Asia; the factors behind outbreaks’ exceptional destructiveness in India; responses from society and the state, both during and since the colonial era; and how such collective catastrophes have changed lives and been remembered. Giving a ‘long history’ to India’s current pandemic, the book offers comparisons with earlier epidemics of cholera, plague and influenza. David Arnold assesses the distinctive characteristics and legacies of each episode, tracking the evolution of public health strategies and containment measures. This is a historian’s reflection on time as seen through the pandemic prism, and on the ways the past is used—or misused—to serve the present.

New York Times bestseller David Arnold''s most ambitious novel to date; Station Eleven meets The 5th Wave in a genre-smashing story of survival, hope, and love amid a ravaged earth. When a deadly Fly Flu sweeps the globe, it leaves a shell of the world that once was. Among the survivors are eighteen-year-old Nico and her dog, on a voyage devised by Nico''s father to find a mythical portal; a young artist named Kit, raised in an old abandoned cinema; and the enigmatic Deliverer, who lives Life after Life in an attempt to put the world back together. As swarms of infected Flies roam the earth, these few survivors navigate the woods of post-apocalyptic New England, meeting others along the way, each on their own quest to find life and love in a world gone dark. The Electric Kingdom is a sweeping exploration of art, storytelling, eternal life, and above all, a testament to the notion that even in an exterminated world, one person might find beauty in another.

Durante los siglos XV y XVI el conocimiento que Europa tenía del resto del mundo conoció una transformación fundamental. La conexión de los océanos del mundo que hicieron posible las exploraciones marítimas y el consiguiente dominio de los mares se convirtió en la base para la extensión última de la influencia europea en cada continente habitado, así como para la correspondiente expansión comercial y territorial. Pero ¿cómo se puede explicar la rapidez de las exploraciones y de la expansión europea? ¿Fue la Era de los Descubrimientos tan repentina y arrolladora como a primera vista parece, o fue más bien el resultado de fuerzas que habían ido madurando durante largo tiempo en la propia Europa? ¿Qué motivos están detrás de este movimiento expansionista, y por qué Portugal y España fueron sus pioneros? ¿Cómo afectaron los factores externos a Europa al carácter de este expansionismo? Tales son los temas que David Arnold intenta elucidar principalmente en esta concisa obra que se ha convertido en un clásico.

Burning the Dead traces the evolution of cremation in India and the South Asian diaspora across the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Through interconnected histories of movement, space, identity, and affect, it examines how the so-called traditional practice of Hindu cremation on an open-air funeral pyre was culturally transformed and materially refashioned under British rule, following intense Western hostility, colonial sanitary acceptance, and Indian adaptation. David Arnold examines the critical reception of Hindu cremation abroad, particularly in Britain, where India formed a primary reference point for the cremation debates of the late nineteenth century, and explores the struggle for official recognition of cremation among Hindu and Sikh communities around the globe. Above all, Arnold foregrounds the growing public presence and assertive political use made of Hindu cremation, its increasing social inclusivity, and its close identification with Hindu reform movements and modern Indian nationhood.

The Street is a book that defies categories. It is many things. It is inspiring and heart-breaking. It shows us the darkness as it turns on the light. It emphasizes doctrine while breaking the traditional mold.

The Street is a series of 16 dreams and visions given to this new pastor by God to help him navigate through the darkness of his new mission field. The Street is a series of 16 teachings from the Book of Romans to help all of us to navigate through the darkness of this sin-filled world. The Street is an exhortation to learn from God’s word just how God wants us to live in this world that is starving for truth. The exhortation goes beyond filling our heads with wisdom. God also wants that knowledge to fill our hearts with love for him and His lost sheep.

Toestemming of niet: Mim stapt in een Greyhound-bus richting het noorden. Onderweg ontmoet ze een bijzonder groepje medereizigers die haar vijftienhonderd kilometer lange reis een paar onverwachte wendingen bezorgen.

Although primarily defined in cultural terms, as the land of the Tamil-speaking people, Tamilnad’s geographical location in the south-eastern corner of the Indian sub-continent has enabled it to develop and maintain a distinctive character. The story of the Congress in Tamilnad has two essential themes. One is the evolution of the Tamil Congress as a regional political party. The second is the changing relationship between a nationalist movement and a colonial regime. Examining in close detail these themes, this book, first published in 1977, presents the story of the Congress in Tamilnad as a case-study of how nationalist parties evolved during the later stages of colonialism.

Manchmal liegt das Ziel woanders, als du denkst Wer würde nicht gerne einfach mal verschwinden? In den nächsten Bus springen und alles hinter sich lassen? Genau das macht die sechzehnjährige Mim Malone. Es reicht ihr, immer das zu tun, was ihr Vater und seine neue Frau für richtig halten. Sie will wissen, weshalb ihre Mom aus ihrem Leben verschwunden ist. Und ihre Gedanken sollen endlich aufhören, in ihrem Kopf Karussell zu fahren. Also steigt sie einfach in den Greyhound-Bus und haut ab, zu ihrer Mom. Während draußen die Landschaft vorbeifliegt, macht Mim einige unvergessliche Bekanntschaften – die wunderbare Arlene, den unheimlichen Ponchomann und den äußerst attraktiven Beck, an den sie ihr Herz zu verlieren droht ... Doch dann verändert ein tragischer Unfall von einem auf den anderen Augenblick alles. Und Mim muss sich den wirklich entscheidenden Fragen in ihrem Leben stellen.

Após o inesperado divórcio dos pais, Mim Malone é arrastada de sua casa em Ohio para o árido Mississippi, onde passa a morar com o pai e a madrasta e a ser medicada contra a própria vontade. Porém, antes mesmo de a poeira da mudança baixar, ela descobre que a mãe está doente. Mim foge de sua nova vida e embarca em um ônibus com destino a seu verdadeiro lugar, o lar de sua mãe, e acaba encontrando alguns companheiros de viagem muito interessantes pelo caminho. Quando a jornada de mais de mil quilômetros toma rumos inesperados, ela precisa confrontar os próprios demônios e redefinir seus conceitos de amor, lealdade e sanidade. Com uma narrativa caleidoscópica e inesquecível, Mosquitolândia é uma odisseia contemporânea, uma história sobre as dificuldades do dia a dia e o que fazemos para enfrentá-las. “Um livro que fala da doçura da vida, da coragem de quem ama e do que precisamos nos afastar para enxergar o que está ao nosso redor.” Wall Street Journal “Absolutamente sensacional. Não falta humor, cenas delicadas ou surpresas de tirar o fôlego. A trajetória triunfante dessa garota de 16 anos vale a leitura.” Publishers Weekly

Die vorliegende Arbeit bietet eine Ubersicht uber Forderungsmassnahmen des DDR-Leistungssports, besonders im Nachwuchsbereich. Da dieses vielschichtige System schwer zu fassen ist, war eine vollstandige Erfassung im Rahmen dieser Arbeit nicht moglich. Daher beschrankt sich der Verfasser auf die generelle Struktur des Sports in der DDR. Die Wahl des Arbeitsthemas basiert auf regem Interesse, die komplexe Struktur des DDR-Sports zu analysieren. In diesem Zusammenhang wird auf die Betitelung Ehemalige DDR" verzichtet, da die DDR im behandelten Zeitraum noch bestand."

The Beginning of the End continues the story of Reserve Commander Warwick Hursey during World War II, and is the third and final book of the series that began with Love and War and continued with Hursey in Conflict. This is a graphic and realistically told story of action at sea and romance ashore. On his return from America, Warwick is appointed to command the light cruiser HMS Delhi and is employed escorting convoys to Murmansk, where his ship plays a part in the sinking of the German Battleship Scharnhorst. After escorting a fleet of landing craft to England from Gibraltar, he is posted to Camp Widewing, the huge U.S. and Allied Camp near London, which was planning for the D-Day landings. He observes and reports on the disastrous Operation Tiger, when over 900 American servicemen lost their lives. Warwick eventually falls in love with Brigitte Ziegler, a Danish refugee. The book ends as the USS Augusta with General Bradley and Commodore Hursey onboard weighs her anchor for the D-day invasion of June 6, 1944.

Gandhi''s is an extraordinary and compelling story. Few individuals in history have made so great a mark upon their times. And yet Gandhi never held high political office, commanded no armies and was not even a compelling orator. His ''power'' therefore makes a particularly fascinating subject for investigation. David Arnold explains how and why the shy student and affluent lawyer became one of the most powerful anti-colonial figures Western empires in Asia ever faced and why he aroused such intense affection, loyalty (and at times much bitter hatred) among Indians and Westerners alike. Attaching as much influence to the idea and image of Gandhi as to the man himself, Arnold sees Gandhi not just as a Hindu saint but as a colonial subject, whose attitudes and experiences expressed much that was common to countless others in India and elsewhere who sought to grapple with the overwhelming power and cultural authority of the West. A vivid and highly readable introducation to Gandhi''s life and times, Arnold''s book opens up fascinating insights into one of the twentieth century''s most remarkable men.

In 1909 Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, on his way back to South Africa from London, wrote his now celebrated tract Hind Swaraj, laying out his vision for the future of India and famously rejecting the technological innovations of Western civilization. Despite his protestations, Western technology endured and helped to make India one of the leading economies in our globalized world. Few would question the dominant role that technology plays in modern life, but to fully understand how India first advanced into technological modernity, argues David Arnold, we must consider the technology of the everyday. Everyday Technology is a pioneering account of how small machines and consumer goods that originated in Europe and North America became objects of everyday use in India in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Rather than investigate “big” technologies such as railways and irrigation projects, Arnold examines the assimilation and appropriation of bicycles, rice mills, sewing machines, and typewriters in India, and follows their impact on the ways in which people worked and traveled, the clothes they wore, and the kind of food they ate. But the effects of these machines were not limited to the daily rituals of Indian society, and Arnold demonstrates how such small-scale technologies became integral to new ways of thinking about class, race, and gender, as well as about the politics of colonial rule and Indian nationhood. Arnold’s fascinating book offers new perspectives on the globalization of modern technologies and shows us that to truly understand what modernity became, we need to look at the everyday experiences of people in all walks of life, taking stock of how they repurposed small technologies to reinvent their world and themselves.

Informative, timely and accessible introduction to the study of South Asia by leading scholars in the field.
