A Mother’s Raw Journey Through Childhood Cancer and FaithThis is a raw, profound journal chronicling the author's experience during her 5-year-old daughter Emily's battle with terminal brain cancer. It’s written with unflinching honesty from within the storm of crisis, an intimate account exploring one of the cruellest experiences a parent can face—witnessing their child's suffering and death. Through carefully arranged thematic reflections, So examines how Emily's illness affected every relationship in their orbit: mother and child, husband and wife, sisters, healthcare providers, and community. The journal captures both the crushing weight of grief and the unexpected moments of grace that emerged from their darkest days. The book grapples with difficult existential questions about faith, meaning, and purpose when confronted with seemingly senseless suffering. It offers no easy answers but instead documents the author's authentic spiritual journey through doubt, anger, and eventual acceptance. Both a heartbreaking memoir and a meditation on finding meaning in loss, it will speak to anyone who has experienced profound grief or walked alongside those in pain. This powerful testament to a mother's love and a child's courage illuminates how we might face life's deepest sorrows with honesty and hope.

Why were the United States and its Western Allies so lenient after the most atrocious war of all times? Out of Hitler''s Shadow answers this question, and considers why the Allies concluded that imposing unrealistic financial conditions on a defeated country would do more harm than good.The destruction left by Nazi Germany was horrendous. The occupied countries had been ravaged and plundered, millions of people murdered, cities laid in ashes. There was every reason to make the defeated Germans pay for ''Hitler''s debt'' as The New York Times called the gigantic damage inflicted. But whereas the Soviet Union punished East Germany, the Western Allies, at the London Debt Conference (1952) decided to forgo all war-related debts. The Federal Republic of Germany - the Western successor state of Nazi Germany - had to settle no more than half of all outstanding debts stemming from pre-war obligations and post-war assistance. Only Israel and private Jewish organisations received reparations from the Federal Republic, but it was a modest amount.Why were the United States and its Western Allies so lenient after the most atrocious war of all times? Out of Hitler''s Shadow answers this question, and considers why the Allies concluded that imposing unrealistic financial conditions on a defeated country would do more harm than good.These actions challenged widely held notions of justice. People who had suffered most from the atrocities committed by Nazi Germany were not compensated. The deal was unfair in many ways, but diplomats and politicians had to make hard choices. Five statesmen were particularly bold: U.S. Secretary of State Acheson, German Chancellor Adenauer, French Foreign Minister Schuman as well as Israeli Prime Minister Ben-Gurion and Foreign Minister Sharett. Tobias Straumann explains why the personalities involved deserve to be remembered for their strategic clarity in the face of enormous resistance.

This new study offers a fresh interpretation of apartheid South Africa. Emerging out of the author''s long-standing interests in the history of racial segregation, and drawing on a great deal of new scholarship, archival collections, and personal memoirs, he situates apartheid in global as well as local contexts. The overall conception of Apartheid, 1948-1994 is to integrate studies of resistance with the analysis of power, paying attention to the importance of ideas, institutions, and culture. Saul Dubow refamiliarises and defamiliarise apartheid so as to approach South Africa''s white supremacist past from unlikely perspectives. He asks not only why apartheid was defeated, but how it survived so long. He neither presumes the rise of apartheid nor its demise. This synoptic reinterpretation is designed to introduce students to apartheid and to generate new questions for experts in the field.

We spend time in the Low because we''re human, not because we''re broken.In the Low is a collection of contemplative words and images for seasons of depression. It is a book designed to meet you where you are and sit with you there the way God does: intentionally and without judgment.For many of us, the question isn''t whether or not we will enter into depression but how to be there when we do. In those low places, we experience disconnection from others, from a meaningful life, and from God, and it can be difficult to know what to think or pray. This is where art and the honest prayers of others can help us name what we''re experiencing so we know we''re not alone. In the Low is designed to meet you in the dark and linger there with you as you sit under the weight of depression or despair. Instead of shaming you for how you feel, minimizing your pain, or suggesting quick fixes, Justin McRoberts and Scott Erickson offer you prayers in language and imagery that can help you be honest and vulnerable with yourself and with God. Featuring poetic prayers for deeper relationships, healing from trauma, a hopeful future, and more, In the Low meets you where you are in your journey and calls you deeper into the heart of God--who is not afraid of the dark."In the Low has a permanent spot on my bookshelf. I''m grateful for the unhurried connection Scott and Justin offer to us through their words, images, and humanity."--Emily P. Freeman, New York Times bestselling author of How to Walk into a Room"Here is a tender guide, not to answers but to the shared humanity of searching, waiting, and finding meaning in the in-between."--David Gungor, The Brilliance "I can offer no higher compliment than this: Someone I love dearly picked up this book during a stretch of pressing darkness, and it helped them."--Shauna Niequist, author of I Guess I Haven''t Learned That Yet"As someone who has wanted to end it all in her own season of depression, and who accompanies many others in theirs, In the Low is the gift I''ve longed for."--Tara Owens, executive director, Anam Cara Ministries, spiritual director, and author of Embracing the Body "Depression has a way of turning prayer into a foreign language, leaving us stammering in the dark for words we once spoke with ease. In the Low gives voice to those struck speechless by despair, honoring the sacred truth that faith often speaks through the shadows."--Jonathan Merritt, columnist and author of Learning to Speak God from Scratch "In the Low acts as a companion to our seasons of melancholy without rushing us to ''fix'' anything. It meets us where we are, as we are. This book resonates deeply within my angsty artist heart, and I''m so grateful it exists in the world."--Jess Janz, poet and founder of Dinner with Strangers "Scott and Justin created a hand to hold in the valley, and I''m grateful to the both of them for how warm it is."--Levi The Poet, spoken word artist "As I read the honest, simple prayers in this book and let the clear and powerful illustrations do their work on me, I felt: ''This will help, not hurt. This will help make things better, not worse.'' You will treasure this book, I predict, and come back to it again and again."--Brian D. McLaren, author of Faith After Doubt and Life After Doom"In the Low is accompaniment for the places inside that deserve to be known, the wordless places that need words, the dark and diffuse places that need form and shape."--Dr. Hillary L. McBride, psychologist, podcast host, author, and mother"In the Low is a warm, tender, desperately needed book that doesn''t speak about the ache but from inside of it. This is the rare work of ''spirituality'' that is not abstract, detached, clichéd, or avoidant but instead gives us the language to speak the unspeakable."--Jonathan Martin, author of How to Survive a Shipwreck and The Road Away from God "In the

Provokativní analýza Janise Varufakise odhaluje vznik nového ekonomického řádu, v němž technologičtí giganti nahrazují tradiční kapitalismus. Místo tvorby kapitálu vybírají „digitální nájemné“ a ovládají naše online životy jako moderní feudálové. Varufakis ukazuje, jak se z uživatelů stávají „cloudoví nevolníci“ – zdroj zisku pro platformy, nikoli pro sebe. Kapitalismus je mrtvý. Vítejte v technofeudalismu. Zatímco jsme byli příliš rozptýleni pandemií, nekonečnými finančními krizemi nebo vzestupem sociálních sítí, prosadil se nový, ještě více vykořisťující systém. Miliardy, které měly pomoci postavit ekonomiku na nohy, skončily u velkých technologických firem. Ve své nejodvážnější a nejzávažnější knize odhaluje vizionářský ekonom a autor mnoha bestsellerů Janis Varufakis, jak noví feudální vládci nahradili kapitalismus s jeho dvěma pilíři, trhem a ziskem, systémem, který si podrobuje naši mysl, znemožňuje demokracii a přepisuje pravidla globální moci. Pomocí příběhů z řeckých mýtů a popkultury, od Homéra po Mad Men, vysvětluje Varufakis tuto revoluční transformaci, ale také odhaluje, že technofeudalismus obsahuje nové možnosti, jak jej zvrátit a nahradit. Jasněji než kdy dřív vyzdvihuje potřebu revoluce, která nás osvobodí z digitálního vězení. Technofeudalismus je četba pro novou dějinnou éru.

The basic idea of this book is an attempt to describe and critically interpret the condition of man living in the shadow of the Shoah, in the world “after Jews”. The author achieves this by referring to the language of political theology, renewing the meaning of such theological concepts as eternity, salvation, the idea of the chosen people, apocalypse, radical hope, and others. He seeks an answer to the question of the conditions for the possibility of the Shoah, all this in order to better understand today’s growing aggression against people of strong faith, strong traditional beliefs. Is the disturbing thought of the recurrence of the Shoah, the repetition of the worst scenario that has already happened once in the modern world, an overstated thought, an exaggerated suspicion, a neurosis? The author asks several twentieth-century writers and philosophers such as René Girard, D.H. Lawrence, Jacob Taubes, Joseph Roth, Primo Levi, Jean Améry, W.G. Sebald, K.K. Baczyński, Czesław Miłosz, Krzysztof Michalski, Jonathan Lear, Hannah Arendt, Vasily Rozanov, Giorgio Agamben, and Martin Heidegger to answer these disturbing questions. The exceptions are William Shakespeare and St. Paul, who, however, can also be considered contemporary because of their timeless presence.

With a blend of scholarly analysis and personal reflection, this book invites readers to contemplate the complexities of our modern spiritual landscape. In today's world, something strange is happening: Celebrities like Kat Von D and Russell Brand are embracing Catholicism, finding allure in its newfound status as a counter-cultural symbol among media personalities, influencers and the literati. Tech titans like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel are shirking the rationalist modus-operandi, making open allusions to the arcane, and even funding research into occult phenomena. U.S. senators stumble over their words in front of the watchful lenses of establishment news cameras and journalists, grappling with the notion of the potential existence of superintelligent life - which, if real, would shatter the fabric of our rationalist paradigm. This unexpected shift raises pressing questions: What is driving these influential individuals in secular liberal democracies to embrace ancient religious institutions, fringe mysticism, and what only a decade ago would have been ridiculed as conspiracy? Why are they turning away from rationalism, the cornerstone of modern though? ate-Stage Babylon delves into this post-secular spiritual crisis, offering insights and guidance in navigating these turbulent swings of the spiritual pendulum. Drawing inspiration from the works of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, this book seeks to unravel the underlying motivations behind this cultural shift and its potential implications for the future. From the heights of celebrity culture to the cutting edge of technological innovation, society is grappling with a profound spiritual hunger that traditional rationalist paradigms are failing to satisfy. As we enter a new age where the arcane and the obscure hold sway, Late-Stage Babylon serves as a guide, illuminating the path forward in the murky territory that's been brought about by the resurgence of long-dormant forces in the collective psyche.

The post-1990s commercial turn in the internationalisation of higher education has given rise to the global research university (GRU). Promoting educational exchanges and research partnerships as the engine of the knowledge economy, GRUs that play in a deterritorialised academic super league are hindered by their national origins, in which they remain ethically embedded, and their national orientation to which they are politically wedded. Like any organisation within an institutional environment undergoing change, GRUs that internationalise without also denationalising their organisational culture are saddled with contradictions. The Ethics of Internationalisation offers a critique of three of them: the ethical dilemmas of trans-national scholars, who face estrangement when their difference encounters the ethno-national prejudice of local faculty; the politics of the idea of the university, which under the logic of new public management valorises commercially viable, quantitative research and side-lines critically focused, qualitative studies; and given the event of the Anthropocene, the imperative to reclaim internationalisation from its commercial hijackers in favour of an ethical iteration, which takes up the challenge of thinking the idea of the university vis-a-vis the existential condition of the potential extinction of homo sapiens together with other forms of life on earth.

<i>Rogue Elephant</i> traces the radicalization of the Republican Party over the past fifty years, arguing that its subordination to Donald Trump was not an anomaly, but rather the culmination of processes at work for decades. Providing a new perspective on figures from Newt Gingrich and George W. Bush to the Tea Party and Donald Trump, it shows that the party's lurch to the far right was the product of a volatile mix of a disorganized party structure and a divided and fractious class of American business owners. These forces have propelled ever more reactionary leaders to the front of the party, setting up cycles where the insurgents of one period become the party establishment of the next, and find themselves confronted with a new batch of insurgents even farther to the right. The result is that a party that was once seen as the handmaiden of American business has increasingly found itself in conflict with business groups like the Chamber of Commerce. Considering the implications of these dynamics for American democracy, Heideman warns that there may be no going back to normal for the Republican Party without a much broader transformation of American society.
