Описание: Through a series of lively and absorbing portraits of iconic modern Chinese leaders and thinkers, two of today's foremost specialists on China provide a panoramic narrative of this country's rise to preeminence that is at once analytical and personal. How did a nation, after a long and painful period of dynastic decline, intellectual upheaval, foreign occupation, civil war, and revolution, manage to burst forth onto the world stage with such an impressive run of hyperdevelopment and wealth creation--culminating in the extraordinary dynamism of China today? Wealth and Power answers this question by examining the lives of eleven influential officials, writers, activists, and leaders whose contributions helped create modern China. This fascinating survey begins in the lead-up to the first Opium War with Wei Yuan, the nineteenth-century scholar and reformer who was one of the first to urge China to borrow ideas from the West. It concludes in our time with human-rights advocate and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Liu Xiaobo, an outspoken opponent of single-party rule. Along the way, we meet such titans of Chinese history as the Empress Dowager Cixi, public intellectuals Feng Guifen, Liang Qichao, and Chen Duxiu, Nationalist stalwarts Sun Yat-sen and Chiang Kai-shek, and Communist Party leaders Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, and Zhu Rongji. The common goal that unites all of these disparate figures is their determined pursuit of fuqiang, "wealth and power." This abiding quest for a restoration of national greatness in the face of a "century of humiliation" at the hands of the Great Powers came to define the modern Chinese character. It's what drove both Mao and Deng to embark on root-and-branch transformations of Chinese society, first by means of Marxism-Leninism, then by authoritarian capitalism. And this determined quest remains the key to understanding many of China's actions today. By unwrapping the intellectual antecedents of today's resurgent China, Orville Schell and John Delury supply much-needed insight into the country's tortured progression from nineteenth-century decline to twenty-first-century boom. By looking backward into the past to understand forces at work for hundreds of years, they help us understand China today and the future that this singular country is helping shape for all of us.

Описание:
Jesus was asked in St. Matthew 22, "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?" He replied with two, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbour as yourself. All the Law and Prophets hang on these two commandments." (St. Matthew 22:36-40).
The Christian community celebrated that Jesus reduced 613 commandments found in the Old Testament to only two under the New Covenant. As I meditated on this, I realized that we were missing something, and while loving God, and loving people may seem straight-forward enough, it was not quite evident in the lifestyles of many Christians. While we get some part right, in other areas we were not doing so well. The Words of Jesus kept resonating in my soul, "If you love Me, you will keep My commandments." (St. John 14:15 - ESV). The part I think we missed is, "All the law and prophets hang..."
I went on a personal retreat to revisit the New Testament and extract everything that would look like a command from Jesus. I numbered them as I went along, and was very surprised to see that when this journey ended, the number was 613 -- the exact number of commands given in the Old Testament. I knew then that this book had to be released.

Описание:
After experiencing two near-death experiences, Orville Douglas Denison quickly realized the boundless power of spiritual intelligence at work, not just in his life, but in the lives of all of us.
In an inspiring first-hand account, Denison shares a collection of detailed visions that transport others on an introspective ride through time and space as he views the future where all human minds are reprogrammed with "A New World Order" and a new thought process of "What Can I Do For You?" Human-to-human interactions are altered. Wars stop because of the new thought process. Additionally, Denison's visions take others back to a time when his deceased father-in-law appeared to him in solid form. Throughout his visions and stories, Denison asks introspective questions that encourage us to embrace the influence of visions to guide our direction in life.
Visions is a collection of true stories that highlight the power of spiritual forces at work in one man's life as he learns to rely on his visions for guidance and creation of inventions.
Описание: Avec sa place majestueuse dans la nature et avec sa structure racinaire, arborescente et genealogique, l’arbre possede traditionnellement une symbolique importante dans le paysage identitaire. Lorsque la symbolique de l’arbre est depossedee de ses caracteristiques et que sa structure et sa force sont menacees, elle revele une vision tourmentee du paysage identitaire. Au niveau de son systeme racinaire, la symbolique de l’arbre est limitee, destabilisee, voire deracinee de sa force, et la symbolique du rhizome offre une autre facon d’apprehender la structure genealogique. Pour devoiler les aspects de la colonisation, Thierry T. Gustave explore la symbolique de l’arbre et celle du rhizome dans les ?uvres litteraires de la Martinique et de la Guadeloupe. Son ouvrage analyse plus particulierement la flore antillaise comme metaphore et representation du paysage identitaire dans luie et vent sur Telumee Miracle de Simone Schwarz-Bart, Delice et le fromager de Xavier Orville, et Pays mele de Maryse Conde.
