Download or read book The Nature of Cultural Heritage, and the Culture of Natural Heritage written by David Lowenthal and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea that the heritage of nature is fundamentally cultural is provocative to many, but it is becoming increasingly accepted in the context of heritage preservation. It is argued here that a person’s perspective on natural vs. cultural heritage as a contested patrimony is, to some extent, governed by one’s intellectual and geographical position. In discourses influenced by the natural sciences culture is a heritage of nature, whereas in those deriving from the humanities and social sciences, nature is defined socio-culturally. There is also, however, a geographical dimension to how one looks at the nature culture relation. From at least the time of Aristotle, the North has been identified with a cultural heritage thought to derive from the northern natural environment. It was no longer culture, as represented by the architectural monuments of the South, but the natural landscape that provided the measure for both natural and cultural heritage, as the natural landscape and its ecosystems were put in focus. This essay provides a contemporary picture of the long-standing contestation between natural and cultural heritage that provided the basis for the northern perspective taken in these essays. This book was previously published as a special issue of The International Journal of Heritage Studies.

Download or read book The Tsarina's Lost Treasure written by Mara Vorhees and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A riveting history and maritime adventure about priceless masterpieces originally destined for Catherine the Great. On October 1771, a merchant ship out of Amsterdam, Vrouw Maria, crashed off the stormy Finnish coast, taking her historic cargo to the depths of the Baltic Sea. The vessel was delivering a dozen Dutch masterpiece paintings to Europe’s most voracious collector: Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia. Among the lost treasures was The Nursery, an oak-paneled triptych by Leiden fine painter Gerrit Dou, Rembrandt’s most brilliant student and Holland’s first international superstar artist. Dou’s triptych was long the most beloved and most coveted painting of the Dutch Golden Age, and its loss in the shipwreck was mourned throughout the art world. Vrouw Maria, meanwhile, became a maritime legend, confounding would-be salvagers for more than two hundred years. In July 1999, a daring Finnish wreck hunter found Vrouw Maria, upright on the sea floor and perfectly preserved. The Tsarina’s Lost Treasure masterfully recounts the fascinating tale of Vrouw Maria—her loss and discovery—weaving together the rise and fall of the artist whose priceless masterpiece was the jewel of the wreckage. Gerald Easter and Mara Vorhees bring to vivid life the personalities that drove (and are still driving) this compelling tale, evoking Robert Massie’s depiction of Russian high politics and culture, Simon Schama’s insights into Dutch Golden Age art and art history, Gary Kinder’s spirit of, danger and adventure on the beguiling Archipelago Sea.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within every human spirit there exists a special place, a place where the hopes and dreams of the imagination soar, unchained from the slavery of logic and the tangible, physical world. A place where the supernatural culture of Heaven’s Kingdom is the fullest reality. For some, visiting this unique place is a frivolous waste of time, a mental blowing of dust bunnies. For others this place becomes the mountain meadow within the soul, the sweeping expanse of rugged peaks, wildflowers and fragrant grasses, where steams of pure glacial water tumble and crash in prismatic waterfalls, where the spirit runs free, dancing in worship and joy. It is a place where the impossible flourishes, where dreams survive the inferno of reality to become the miraculous wonders that draw us forward into the Father’s presence. It is a spiritual journey for the spiritual pilgrim - it is the place where the supernatural is the expected reality. It is a place where hardships, devastations, sorrow, pain and peril pass through the savage cleansing fire to be transformed into a rare and priceless masterpiece of exquisite beauty. If you are this kind of pilgrim on a spiritual journey come along on the secret trails to discover buried treasure in Heavens Kingdom on the earth. This Book 2 is a continuation of Book 1 of the Midwife’s Heritage series and continues the exciting adventure that just happens to occur in the lives of two midwives. These true stories will hopefully stir up curiosity, expand your vision and wonder, and awaken a hunger for the things unseen that can impact the birth of each new spirit-vessel exponentially. It is His story written through the lives of His people. This is the Midwife’s Heritage, one that brings Glory to God our Father and brings us closer to the Father that is our God.

Download or read book Terrorists as Monsters written by Marco Pinfari and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-11-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the chilling threats of the "ISIS vampire" to the view of al-Qaeda as the "Frankenstein the CIA created," terrorism seems to be inextricably bound with monstrosity. But why do the media and government officials often portray terrorists as monsters? And perhaps more puzzling, why do terrorists sometimes want to be perceived as such? This book, the first of its kind, examines the use of archetypal metaphors of monstrosity in relation to terrorism, from the gorgons of Robespierre's "reign of terror" to the dragons and lycanthropes of anarchism, the beasts and blood-licking demons of ethnonational terrorism, and the hydras and Frankenstein's monsters of Islamic jihadism. Marco Pinfari argues that politicians frame terrorists as unmanageable monsters not only in an effort at cultural "othering" and dehumanization, but also to secure popular backing for rule-breaking behavior in counter-terrorism. The book also explores the way that terrorists themselves impersonate monsters, showing that several groups have pursued such a tactic throughout the history of terrorism. It contributes to a number of ongoing public debates by highlighting how, even when actors like the Islamic State present themselves as mad and irrational, their tactics remain in essence rational. Pinfari also provides an original historical outlook on the roots of monster metaphors and discusses several types of terrorism, including state terrorism, left-wing terrorism, anarchism, ethnonationalist terrorism, and white supremacist groups. In unpacking the functions played by monster metaphors and by their impersonation, Terrorists as Monsters helps the reader understand the political processes that hide behind the fangs.
