Описание: This book traces the origins and activities of an alliance of conservative Communist Party authorities and Russian nationalists during the late Soviet era. Specifically, it examines how and to what extent hitherto orthodox Communists sought political allies in the Russian nationalist movement in order to garner support for halting the reform program and saving the Soviet state from collapse.

Описание:

Founded as an ecclesiastical center, trading hub, and intended capital of a feudal state, Riga was Old Livonia's greatest city and its indispensable port. Because the city was situated in what was initially remote and inhospitable territory, surrounded by pagans and coveted by regional powers like Poland, Sweden, and Muscovy, it was also a fortress encased by a wall.

The House of Hemp and Butter begins in the twelfth century with the arrival to the eastern Baltic of German priests, traders, and knights, who conquered and converted the indigenous tribes and assumed mastery over their lands. It ends in 1710 with an account of the greatest war Livonia had ever seen, one that was accompanied by mass starvation, a terrible epidemic, and a flood of nearly biblical proportions that devastated the city and left its survivors in misery.

Readers will learn about Riga's people—merchants and clerics, craftsmen and builders, porters and day laborers—about its structures and spaces, its internal conflicts and its unrelenting struggle to maintain its independence against outside threats. The House of Hemp and Butter is an indispensable guide to a quintessentially European city located in one of the continent's more remote corners.

Описание:

What sets the Bible apart from all other books is the author.

It is the All-Knowing, living, and active God

Think of the Bible as a six thousand-piece, creative puzzle. Each piece holds information, history, culture,
experience, wisdom, and timeless wonder. The pieces connect to other parts, forming a clear picture of
the kingdom of our all-knowing God.
The Bible flawlessly fits the beginning pieces to the end of the story.

God's overall plan for humanity fits together in a way that no one should miss the connections.

If we don't figure out the importance of the beginning of the Bible, we won't ever figure out the
end.
