Don’t Ever Quit【電子書籍】[ Michael Keenan ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Don’t Ever Quit</p> <p>When Mike Keenan entered his 40s, he thought that his life was on cruise control. Married with two children, two cars and a house with a mortgage that was almost paid off, he enjoyed teaching and four successive terms of public office, which led to organizing the 1984 Niagara Regional Rally for soon-to-be-elected Prime Minister Brian Mulroney.</p> <p>However, when both parents died, their mortality provoked a mid-life crisis that forced him to re-examine his life and confront his past. As an adolescent, for five formative years, he survived Regent Park, Toronto’s dangerous, inner city ghetto. He attended the University of Western Ontario, where he suffered from depression. Nevertheless, he played on the varsity football team and was voted to the Canadian Inter-collegiate All-Star Team. He was drafted and tried out with the Calgary Stampeders.</p> <p>To help deal with mid-life anxiety, he took up jogging. He reached a six-mile-a-day routine that flooded his brain with delightful endorphins. He composed poetry as he ran. However, a herniated disc in his vertebrae brought this therapeutic practice to a sudden end.</p> <p>Mike and his spouse traveled to Athens, Greece where another crisis dramatically changed his life. He awoke one morning unable to move his legs with numbness throughout his body, including both hands and arms. He had to re-learn how to walk. And later, like many aging men, he was afflicted with prostate cancer, yet another battle.</p> <p>Don’t Ever Quit, A Journal of Coping with Crisis & Nurturing Spirit is the story of how he dealt with each crisis and learned to cultivate spirit in the process. This book will help readers cope with crisis. It’s particularly well-suited to those admitted to a hospital.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,069円

Earthing the Cosmic Christ of EphesiansーThe Universe, Trinity, and Zhiyi’s Threefold Truth, Volume 3 Commentary on Ephesians 2:1?12【電子書籍】[ John P. Keenan ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>As both a scholar of Buddhism and a Christian priest, John P. Keenan engages with the New Testament letter to the Ephesians, written by a member of the Pauline school likely near the end of the first century--a time when both the cultural world and the cosmos were much narrower than for us today. In pondering this scripture's significance for residents of the twenty-first century, Keenan looks to the work of scholars and thinkers both ancient and modern, Eastern and Western, scientists and philosophers. Particular attention is given to Chinese Buddhist master Zhiyi's explanation of a threefold truth, which resonates with an early trinitarian theme in Ephesians and suggests the riches to be discovered upon the global theological commons.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,953円

Cracker Times and Pioneer Lives The Florida Reminiscences of George Gillett Keen and Sarah Pamela Williams【電子書籍】

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>Wild and wooly recollections from the Florida frontier</strong></p> <p><em>Cracker Times and Pioneer Lives</em> brings together the reminiscences of two pioneers who came of age in antebellum Florida's Columbia County and the nearby Suwannee River Valley. Though they held markedly different positions in society, they shared the adventure, thrill, hardship, and tragedy that characterized Florida's pioneer era. With sensitivity, poignancy, and humor, George Gillett Keen and Sarah Pamela Williams record anecdotes and memories that touch upon important themes of frontier life and reveal the remarkable diversity of Florida's settlers.</p> <p>Keen's story typifies that of many "Cracker" families. Born in Georgia, he moved with his parents to the Florida Territory in 1830 in search of a better life. He grew up in a dangerous yet exciting setting, and as an old man at the turn of the twentieth century recorded his colorful memories with a verve and vernacular reminiscent of the Georgia humorist, Augustus Baldwin Longstreet. Keen writes about subsistence farming, cattle grazing, the Seminole wars, marriage customs, medical practices, politics, the abundance of wildlife, and the paucity of educational opportunities.</p> <p>Admittedly not a Cracker, Sarah Pamela Williams was the daughter of a nationally recognized man of letters. In 1847 she moved to Columbia County's seat of Alligator (Lake City) and later married into one of northeast Florida's prominent planter families. She recorder her recollections of a life brightened by social functions, travel, and cultural endeavors. Offering a rare glimpse into Florida's Civil War homefront, Williams tells of making clothes of homespun, tithing crops to the Confederacy, fearing hostilities just thirteen miles from her home, and surviving as a widow in the lean postwar era.</p> <p><em>Cracker Times and Pioneer Lives</em> features biographical sketches of more than 280 persons mentioned by Keen and Williams in their writings, many of whom subsequently pioneered settlement in the Florida peninsula.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,136円

Eighteenth Century Ireland, Georgian Ireland Society and History【電子書籍】[ Desmond Keenan ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The 18th century tended to be neglected by Irish historians in the 20th century. Irish achievements in the 18th century were largely those of Protestants, so Catholics tended to disregard them. Catholic historians concentrated on the grievances of the Catholics and exaggerated them. The Penal Laws against Catholics were stressed regardless of the fact that most of them affected only a small number of rich Catholics, the Catholic landowners who had sufficient wealth to raise a regiment of infantry to fight for the Catholic Stuart pretenders. The practice of the Catholic religion was not made illegal. Catholic priests could live openly and have their own chapels and mass-houses. As was the law at the time, the ordinary workers, Catholic or Protestant, had no vote, and so were ignored by the political classes. Nor had they any ambitions in the direction of taking control of the state. If they had local grievances, and in many places they had, especially with regard to rents and tithes, they dealt with them locally, and often brutally, but they were not trying to overthrow the Government. If some of them looked for a French invasion it was in the hope that the French would bring guns and powder to assist them in their local disputes. It is a peculiarity, as yet unexplained, that most of the Catholic working classes, by the end of the century, had names that reflected their ancestry as minor local chiefs. The question remains where did the descendants of the former workers, the villeins and betaghs go? The answer seems to be that in times of war and famine the members of even the smallest chiefly family stood a better chance of surviving. This would explain the long-standing grievance of the Catholic peasants that they were unjustly deprived of their land. We will perhaps never know the answer to this question. Penal Laws against religious minorities were the norm in Europe. The religion of the state was decided by the king according to the adage cuius regio eius religio (each king decides the state religion for his own kingdom). At the end of the 17th century, the Catholic landowners fought hard for the Catholic James II. But in the 18th century they lost interest and preferred to come to terms with the actually reigning monarch, and became Protestants to retain their lands and influence. Unlike in Scotland, support for the Catholic Stuarts remained minimal. Nor was there any attempt to establish in independent kingdom or republic. When such an attempt was made at the very end of the century it was led by Protestant gentlemen in imitation of their American cousins. Ireland in the 18th century was not ruled by a foreign elite like the British raj in India. It was an aristocratic society, like all the other European societies at the time. Some of these were descendants of Gaelic chiefs; some were descendants of those who had received grants of confiscated land; some were descendants of the moneylenders who had lent money to improvident Gaelic chiefs. Together these formed the ruling aristocracy who controlled Parliament and made the Irish laws, controlled the army, the judiciary and the executive. Access to this elite was open to any gentleman who was willing to take the oath of allegiance and conform to the state church, the Established Church but not the nonconformists. British kings did not occupy Ireland and impose foreign rule. Ireland had her own Government and elected Parliament. By a decree of King John in the 12th century, the Lordship of Ireland was annexed to the person of the king of England. When not present in Ireland in person, and he rarely was, his powers were exercised by a Lord Lieutenant to whom considerable executive power was given. He presided over the Irish Privy Council which drew up the legislation to be presented to the Irish Parliament. One restraint was imposed on the Irish Parliament. By Poynings’ Law it was not allowed to pass legislation that infringed on the rights of the king or his English Privy Council. The British Parliament had no interest in the internal affairs of Ireland. The Irish Council were free to devise their own legislation and they did so. The events in Irish republican fantasy are examined in detail. The was no major rebellion against alleged British rule. The vast majority of Catholics and Protestants rallied to the support of their lawful Government. The were local uprisings easily suppressed by the local militias and yeomanry. Atrocities were not all on one side. Ireland at last enjoyed a century of peace with no wasteful and destructive wars within its bounds. No longer were its crops burned, its buildings destroyed, its cattle driven off, its population reduced by fever and famine. Its trade was resumed and gradually wealth accumulated and was no longer dispersed on local wars. Gentlemen, as in England, could afford to build great country and town houses. The arts flourished as never before. Skilled masons could build great houses. Stone cutters could carve sculptures. The most delicate mouldings could be applied to ceilings. The theatre flourished. While some gentlemen led the life of wastrels, others devoted themselves to the promotion of agriculture and industry. Everywhere mines were dug to exploit minerals. Ireland had not the same richness of minerals as England, but every effort was made to find and exploit them. Roads were improved, canals dug, rivers deepened, and ports developed. Market towns spread all over Ireland which provided local farmers with outlets for their produce and increased the wealth of the landlords. This wealth was however very unevenly spread. The population was ever increasing and the poor remained miserably poor. In a bad year, hundreds of thousands of the very poor could perish through cold and famine. But the numbers of the very poor kept on growing. Only among the Presbyterians in Ulster was there emigration on any scale. Even before the American Revolution they found a great freedom and greater opportunities in the American colonies. Catholics, were born, lived and died in the same parish. Altogether it was a century of great achievement.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 452円

Embracing Change【電子書籍】[ Paul Thomas Keenan ]

<p>Embracing Change is a collection of poems written while he was sampling life, and the inspiration for his poems are subjects he cares about, like how dreams are valued by the individual and the making of America. His poems range from the insight of a dream to the cumbersome feat of telling a lie. All his poems are opinions derived from his life experiences and his feelings of the poetic majesties of nature, society, and the human condition, while taking the images of nature and subjects like that of the ecosystem along with ethical right and moral judgment to produce poems that he finds are compelling and prudent to todays society.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 468円

Townsite Settlement and Dispossession in the Cherokee Nation, 1866-1907【電子書籍】[ Brad A. Bays ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In response to the influx of white settlement after the Civil War, the Cherokee nation devised a regional development plan which allowed whites to establish farms and build towns while reinforcing Cherokee tribal sovereignty over the territory. The presence of sizeable towns and numerous villages presented a legal conundrum for Congress when it legislated away Cherokee sovereignty at the turn of the century. By 1898, tens of thousands of whites owned residential and commercial properties worth millions of dollars in Cherokee Nation towns, but every lot was owned by the Cherokee people. The federal government created a program to transfer legal ownership of town lots to white occupants, but poor implementation of the program allowed individuals to subvert the law for their own gain. The author explores the subject using primary documentation of such diverse sources as traveler's reports, land records, tribal and federal correspondence, and accounts of Cherokee and white settlers. Descriptive statistics and analytical mapping of historical data provide additional facets to the analysis. Also inlcludes 50 maps.<br /> (Ph.D. dissertation, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, 1996; revised with new preface, introduction, afterword) Index.

De maagd Maria en de conceptie van Jezus Tussen de canonieke en apocriefe evangeli?n【電子書籍】[ Dar al-Medina (Nederlands) ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Dit boek en die in deze bundel zijn niet bedoeld om ??n religieuze traditie als superieur aan te tonen, omdat dit geen academische, intellectuele en vergelijkende oefening is, maar om het eigen oordeel van de lezer te verhelderen en zijn religieuze en spirituele ervaring te motiveren. Deze studies presenteren hier dus niet ??n enkele, definitieve waarheid, maar vormen een dialoog, een weg en een methode die openstaat voor allen die kennis, waarheid en schoonheid zoeken in religies, hun heilige boeken, talen en geschiedenissen.</p> <p>Voor de Joodse geschriften zijn de Hebreeuwse en Aramese teksten genomen, voor het Nieuwe Testament de Griekse, Latijnse, Syrische en Koptische versies en hun apocriefe teksten, alsmede de Arabische tekst voor de Koran, telkens om de begrippen in hun taal, cultuur en theologie zo origineel mogelijk weer te geven. Op hun beurt zijn klassieke en moderne commentatoren en de belangrijkste bijbelvertalingen onderzocht om de meningen, stellingen en commentaren waarnaar wordt verwezen te bevestigen.</p> <p>De thematische, methodologische en wetenschappelijke diversiteit van deze studies heeft een tweeledig doel; ten eerste, het vergroten van de perspectieven op dergelijke onderwerpen vanuit de menswetenschappen zoals theologie, geschiedenis, filosofie, fenomenologie, filologie, hermeneutiek, ethiek, politiek, tekstkritiek en vergelijkende studies; Ten tweede, een vergelijking te maken tussen deze wetenschappen om hun tekortkomingen en voordelen te onderkennen in het geval van de studie van religies en de interreligieuze dialoog; zo zal de lezer joodse, christelijke en islamitische denkers uit de oudheid, de middeleeuwen en de moderne tijd verweven vinden in de studies in deze verzameling.</p> <p>Voor elke studie is er een manier om de teksten van de Heilige Schrift aan te halen: in sommige gevallen wordt alleen de tekst in het Spaans aangehaald om de leesbaarheid te vergroten en in gevallen waarin het niet nodig is de oorspronkelijke talen te raadplegen om de tekst te begrijpen; in andere gevallen worden de beschikbare versies en vertalingen aangehaald, zoals in het geval van filologische of taalkundige analyses van een bijbelvers of een koranvers, hetzij in de tekst zelf, hetzij in een voetnoot, wanneer een dergelijke aanhaling secundair is.</p> <p>Citaten uit de Koran omvatten, tussen haakjes, de belangrijke Arabische teksten in de theologische context of, soms, de volledige tekst voor zover relevant voor het onderwerp; in dat geval wordt het nummer van de soera tussen haakjes vermeld, gevolgd door het versnummer.</p> <p>In de voetnoten vindt de lezer de bibliografische referenties afgekort om het lezen te vergemakkelijken, en aan het eind van het boek in de Bibliografie de volledige referenties van elke geciteerde tekst die in bibliotheken of online kan worden geraadpleegd.</p> <p>Vervolgens vindt de lezer vergelijkende theologische, bijbelse en koranistische studies over de figuur van de maagd Maria, de annunciatie en conceptie van Jezus, zijn discipelen en een bijlage over de christenen tussen de canonieke en apocriefe evangeli?n en de koran.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 532円

Post-Famine Ireland: Social Structure Ireland as It Really Was【電子書籍】[ Desmond Keenan ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Irish society and economy is studied objectively in this book as if it were a society in a distant region or in the distant past. The distortions of nationalist anti-British propaganda are removed. In particular the failure of the various separatist movements to devise an ideology which could unite and rally all the people of Ireland behind them is described. Ireland is analysed as a sociologist analyses societies and using the materials that a sociologist uses. Irish society is placed in the context of its time and place. It was one of the societies on either side of the North Atlantic Ocean. These countries were all to a greater or lesser degree developing their industries, improving their roads, building their railways, extending their trade, enlarging their towns and cities, deepening and expanding their ports, and modernising their institutions. Though religion was strong in all of them, new currents of thought, often derived from the American and French Revolutions, were being spread everywhere. It was largely an English-speaking society and its institutions were those of common law countries. As this study shows Ireland was a typical member of this group of nations. It was not the most advanced, but it was far from being the most backward. Some of the Nordic countries for example, were only beginning to follow Irelands path of development. There is no evidence that membership of the United Kingdom hindered or retarded this development. The Irish however being closely linked to England always compared their progress with that of England which was a mistake. The 19th century was Englands century, as the 15th century was Italys. What caused the Industrial Revolution where handcrafts gave way to the production by machinery to occur earlier in England than elsewhere is a subject that fascinates historians. How England came to possess the largest empire in modern times is another fascinating question. Why English institutions, a free press, a parliamentary democracy, religious tolerance, methods of education, and most modern sports came to be imitated is another one. The fact was that in the 19th century great parts of the world looked to Britain to see how they could modernise their societies and improve their economies. Ireland did likewise, and from an earlier date but never so successfully. Why Ireland was not as successful as Britain is not easily explained. Lack of coal and iron is not the explanation for some of Irelands leading industries like linen, shipbuilding, rope-making and tobacco manufacture were developed from imported materials. Likewise in England, industries which depended largely on craftsmanship like the pottery industry flourished. Nor was Irelands backwardness relative to England caused by oppressive law or restrictions for within the United Kingdom all operated under the same rules. Nor can the Catholic religion of Ireland be adduced as a cause, for most Irish businessmen were Protestants. It is not the purpose of this book to ask or settle these questions, but the simpler one of describing the facts of Irish society as it was, and to remove the distortions of propaganda. When one studies the actual facts it becomes clear that not only was Ireland neither oppressed nor backward but was actually one of the most advanced countries in the world at the time as progress was understood in the 19th century. Ireland by 1850 was already a well-developed modern society, more advanced than most countries in Europe. The period up to 1920 was one of increasing prosperity, and increasing social improvement. Every new development in the various aspects of society, industry, agriculture, communications, science and education, social improvements were all adopted. In this book I concentrate on the achievements that Irishmen can be proud of. One can look at Irish industrial achievements. Belfast showed how ships on the North Atlantic run should be built and fitted out.
