Book Synopsis Esteemed Colleagues by : Burdett A. Loomis
Download or read book Esteemed Colleagues written by Burdett A. Loomis and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2004-05-13 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What's happened to the longstanding traditions of civility and decorum within the world's greatest deliberative body? While the Senate hasn't yet become as rancorous as the House, over the past three decades it has grown noticeably less collegial. In Esteemed Colleagues, leading congressional scholars address the extent to which civility has declined in the U.S. Senate, and how that decline has affected our political system. The contributors analyze the relationships between Senators, shaped by high levels of both individualism and partisanship, and how these ties shape the deliberation of issues before the chamber. Civility and deliberation have changed in recent decades, up to and including the Clinton impeachment process, and the book sheds light on both the current American politics and the broad issues of representation, responsiveness, and capacity within our governmental institutions.

Book Synopsis The Undiscovered Chekhov by : Anton Chekhov
Download or read book The Undiscovered Chekhov written by Anton Chekhov and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2011-01-04 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Undiscovered Chekhov gives us, in rich abundance, a new Chekhov. Peter Constantine's historic collection presents 38 new stories and with them a fresh interpretation of the Russian master. In contrast to the brooding representative of a dying century we have seen over and over, here is Chekhov's work from the 1880s, when Chekhov was in his twenties and his writing was sharp, witty and innovative. Many of the stories in The Undiscovered Chekhov reveal Chekhov as a keen modernist. Emphasizing impressions and the juxtaposition of incongruent elements, instead of the straight narrative his readers were used to, these stories upturned many of the assumptions of storytelling of the period. Here is "Sarah Bernhardt Comes to Town," written as a series of telegrams, beginning with "Have been drinking to Sarah's health all week! Enchanting! She actually dies standing up!..." In "Confession...," a thirty-nine year old bachelor recounts some of the fifteen times chance foiled his marriage plans. In "How I Came to be Lawfully Wed," a couple reminisces about the day they vowed to resist their parents' plans that they should marry. And in the more familiarly Chekhovian "Autumn," an alcoholic landowner fallen low and a peasant from his village meet far from home in a sad and haunting reunion in which the action of the story is far less important than the powerful impression it leaves with the reader that each man must live his life and has his reasons.

Book Synopsis Practices of Truth by : Baudouin Dupret
Download or read book Practices of Truth written by Baudouin Dupret and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The claim of this book is that truth is a matter of language games and practical achievements: it is a member phenomenon . To document this statement, it proceeds to the investigation of instances of truth-related practices in various Arab contexts. Bearing on the constitution of actions and events, on what is factual or objective, on predictability, consequentiality, intentionality, causality, and on the many ways people orient to them, such a varied set of questions appears thoroughly moral. The praxeological respecification this book undertakes leads to important considerations regarding the question of morality in ordinary reasoning, and the categories and categorizations on which that morality is based: moral values are publicly available; morality has a modal logic; moral values and conventions have an open texture; objectivity is a practical achievement carried out by members of society; the moral order is an omnipresent, constitutive characteristic of social practice."

Book excerpt: So what would you do with all your money, fancy cars, big houses, jewelries, and your most prized possessions, when the earth’s surface will now be smelted by the fiery sun and will eat away the earth’s entire atmosphere, and vaporize this into nonexistence? Kevin knows this as early as 1980 when the DEWA (Department of Early Warning Assessment) in a false report to the UN environmental program agencies at a UN conference in Nairobi, Kenya. Kevin is thrown into a web of deception, and just before the very important UN Budget Committee meeting, his boss suddenly and unexpectedly falls ill. Taking his boss’ place at the meeting, he is threatened, coerced, and blackmailed. To make matters worse, his sister and his girlfriend have been abducted. Now with the help of his brother-in-law, Ray Reynolds, an elite military commando, the two is thrown into a race with time to save their loved ones, and thwarts the conspiracy not only inside the UN, but what Mother nature herself have kept secret – a secret so big, bigger than the UN, and much bigger than the world itself. Will Kevin be successful in finding out the truth? Will Ray at Sound beach, with the help of God, be able to accommodate all the evacuees from all over the world? The Sun Day biblically chronicles about the apocalyptic times, the end of the sun - known as the Red Giant, and it shows the human nature of the people in how they cope with crisis. Learn how a person can transform from personal greed and fighting each other for food; to helping others and self-sacrifice. It also tells about the UN and how it leads the world to survival and human-preservation. But most importantly, it tells about family, community, brotherhood, helping-hands, and Christian love.

Book Synopsis Political Incivility in the Parliamentary, Electoral and Media Arena by : Annemarie S. Walter
Download or read book Political Incivility in the Parliamentary, Electoral and Media Arena written by Annemarie S. Walter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-02-25 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume affords conceptual and analytical convergence in the study of political incivility by bringing together theoretical and empirical work of scholars from various (sub)disciplines studying political incivility within European countries and the USA. It addresses the needs and challenges of comparative research, adding to a more generic theory on political incivility. Recent years have witnessed growing attention to issues of political incivility in the parliamentary, electoral and media arenas, with rudeness, hostility and vulgarity being highly prevalent in interactions between politicians, journalists and citizens. This book analyses what constitutes this political incivility, its occurrence, causes and effects in these various arenas, using several country-specific contexts, and presenting a cohesive edifice of knowledge on political incivility. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of parliamentary studies, political behaviour, political communication and political psychology, as well as more broadly to political science, communication science, media studies, psychology, sociology and to (non-) governmental institutions and those that are concerned about the quality of democracy or public debate.

Download or read book Visualizing Sufism written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-01-16 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visualizing Sufism approaches the question of the presence of graphic materials in Islamic mystical literature from a broad and comprehensive perspective. To this goal, an international group of specialists in the field worked on largely manuscript and unpublished sources with the aim of analyzing the use of visual elements in the works of some key figures of Islamic mysticism—Ibn al-ʿArabī, Aḥmad al-Būnī, Saʿd al-Dīn Ḥamūyeh, al-Shaʿrānī—, and in intellectual networks—Ḥurūfiyya and Bektashiyya, Shīrīn Maghribī and his connections. The result is the most extensive collection of specimens of Sufi graphic materials ever brought together and discussed in a single volume. By virtue of the object of study investigated in the chapters of this book, in addition to the history of Sufism, questions are raised that touch upon numerous areas in the field of Islamic Studies, including intellectual history, codicology, and art history. Contributors Elizabeth R. Alexandrin, Noah Gardiner, Ali Karjoo-Ravary, Evyn Kropf, Giovanni Maria Martini, Orkhan Mir-Kasimov, and Sophie Tyser.

Book excerpt: In the prequel to Voyage of the Star Wolf, the starship Roger Burlingame is obsolete as it drifts through space on the brink of collapse. Yet, as its demoralized crew hopes for reassignment and its weary captain counts the days before his promotion to a desk job, a fanatical first officer named Korie refuses to succumb to apathy. He believes he has seen the enemy—no more than a blip on a screen—and he's sure he can defeat them. Korie knows he will need these men—even if they hate him—to hold the Burlingame together until the final confrontation. But as they drift ever deeper into space, following quarry that may be only a figment of their first officer's imagination, the crew of the Burlingame must decide whether Korie is a savior or a madman—whether he is leading them to glory or certain annihilation. Originally published as Yesterday's Children.
Book Synopsis Me Is Under Attack by : Dana Paul Robinson
Download or read book Me Is Under Attack written by Dana Paul Robinson and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2024-02-02 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Readers at first will think this short book, Me Is Under Attack, is the lament of a disgruntled curmudgeon convinced that the declining standards in our society portend an irreversible descent into widespread boredom and barbarism. However, as they complete their journey through the always persuasive and sometimes entertaining pages, they will come to discover the author’s great hope for a better future and his suggestions for how to bring it about. His recommendation entails strengthening relationships, the sinews of society, by reengaging those same personal standards we seem to be abandoning. And, he recommends we start with that paramount standard, the standard of beauty. It is an easy read and highly recommended for anyone discouraged by the creeping dullness that seems more and more to pervade what once was regarded as western civilization.
Book Synopsis Over the Hills and Far Away by : Susan Skylark
Download or read book Over the Hills and Far Away written by Susan Skylark and published by Susan Skylark. This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fairy tales, like music and poetry, are a language known to every soul no matter the culture, time, or place. Travel 'over the hills and faraway,' with these varied tales of Faerie and for a little while reclaim the wonder and joy peculiar to a childlike heart. This is a book of contrasts, a stewpot wherein anything and everything might lurk with each spoonful a different taste: high adventure and complete nonsense, serious quests and silly meanderings, real poetry and doggerel verse, one moment grave as death and blithe as a lark the next. As in life, the world of story and Faerie in particular is a varicolored, ever shifting landscape of joy and sorrow, laughter and tears, adventure and quietude. Each story is preceded by a bit of verse or a quotation that may or may not be relevant, many of them are inspired by old nursery rhymes as one wonders what came of the original tale beyond the little passed down from time immemorial to the wondering hearts of children through the ages. Life is a story and with these bits and pieces of story, this crazy quilt of whimsy as it were, perhaps it will add a little more wonder to your own.
