Book Synopsis T.S. Eliot and the Fulfillment of Christian Poetics by : G. Atkins
Download or read book T.S. Eliot and the Fulfillment of Christian Poetics written by G. Atkins and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-06-23 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The culmination of a trilogy that began with T.S. Eliot, Lancelot Andrewes, and the Word, and continued with T.S. Eliot: The Poet as Christian, this gracefully executed new book brings to a triumphant conclusion the unique effort to pinpoint and identify the Christian characteristics of Eliot's poetic art. The book offers a close but companionable reading of each of the complex poems that make up Four Quartets, the essay-poem that is Eliot's masterwork. Focusing on the range of speaking voices dramatized, Atkins reveals for the first time the Incarnational form that governs the work's 'purposive movement' toward purification and fulfilment of points of view that were represented earlier in the poems.

Book Synopsis The Digital Currency Challenge: Shaping Online Payment Systems through US Financial Regulations by : P. Mullan
Download or read book The Digital Currency Challenge: Shaping Online Payment Systems through US Financial Regulations written by P. Mullan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-01-30 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Private online digital currency systems offer people accessible, convenient, and inexpensive everyday financial tools outside of traditional bank-owned and operated platforms. Digital currency systems facilitate local and international fund transfers, online and offline payments, and simple cash-to-digital everyday financial products without the need for a conventional bank account of any retail bank product. Over the past several years, Bitcoin has grown into an efficient person-to-person and person-to-business payment system without the backing of any bank or financial institution. This phenomenon is producing a new level of an on- and offline commerce and a society much more attuned to digital currency systems. The Digital Currency Challenge details how new 2007-2008 U.S. legal issues surrounding digital currency products forced companies from the U.S. market and caused the Treasury Department to enact stricter regulations. Mullan profiles new and innovative present day digital currency systems, such as Bitcoin, and illustrates how software designers and monetary theorists use new technology to circumvent current U.S. regulations. This work also explains how new digital currency systems are not just software products, but tools providing financial freedom to people in countries all around the world.
