Описание: The drama, expansion, and wealth of New York City's transformative era, from 1870 to 1910, captured in a magnificently illustrated hardcover. Mark Twain coined the term the "Gilded Age" for this period of growth and extravagance, experienced most dramatically in New York City from the 1870s to 1910. More than half of America's millionaires lived in the city. Previously unimaginable sums of money were made and spent, while poor immigrants toiled away in tenements. Author Esther Crain writes, "There was an incredible energy, a sense of greatness and destiny. Things were literally going up-skyscrapers, elevated train tracks, new neighborhoods and parks. Accompanying all of that was an equal amount of greed and lust. Crime, vice, political scandals-the Gilded Age produced an abundance of depravity." " ""The Gilded Age in New York City" covers daily life for the rich, poor, and the burgeoning middle class; the influx of immigrants which caused the city's population to quadruple in 40 years; how new-found leisure time was spent in places such as Coney Island and Central Park; crimes that shocked the city and altered the police force; the rise of social services; and the city's physical growth both skyward and outward toward the five boroughs. Through words and amazing, rarely seen images, Crain captures between covers the metamorphic story of city at the center of the world.

Описание:
A multifaceted portrait of the Hiroshima bombing and its many legacies
On August 6, 1945, in the waning days of World War II, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The city's destruction stands as a powerful symbol of nuclear annihilation, but it has also shaped how we think about war and peace, the past and the present, and science and ethics. The Age of Hiroshima traces these complex legacies, exploring how the meanings of Hiroshima have reverberated across the decades and around the world.
Michael D. Gordin and G. John Ikenberry bring together leading scholars from disciplines ranging from international relations and political theory to cultural history and science and technology studies, who together provide new perspectives on Hiroshima as both a historical event and a cultural phenomenon. As an event, Hiroshima emerges in the flow of decisions and hard choices surrounding the bombing and its aftermath. As a phenomenon, it marked a revolution in science, politics, and the human imagination--the end of one age and the dawn of another.
The Age of Hiroshima reveals how the bombing of Hiroshima gave rise to new conceptions of our world and its precarious interconnectedness, and how we continue to live in its dangerous shadow today.

Описание: God's Marshall Plan tells the story of the American Protestants who sought to transform Germany into a new democratic and Christian nation at the heart of twentieth-century Europe. James D. Strasburg follows the American pastors, preachers, diplomats, and spies who crossed the Atlantic in an era of world war, responded to the rise of fascist dictators, and began to identify Europe as a continent in need of saving. He examines their far-reaching campaigns to make Germany into the European cornerstone of America's global spiritual empire. God's Marshall Plan illuminates the dramatic effects of these efforts by showing how the mission to remake Germany in America's image actually remade American Protestantism itself. American Protestants realized they were far from united and had in fact come to dramatically different conclusions about how to rebuild the West out of the ruins of war. Their European counterparts, meanwhile, began to sharply protest America's spiritual advance. Forsaking their wartime nationalism, a growing number of ecumenical Protestants championed a new internationalist ethic of reconciliation and global justice. At the same time, a fresh wave of evangelical Protestants emerged and ensured that the religious struggle would continue into the Cold War. Strasburg argues that the fight for Christian Europe ultimately forged two competing visions of global engagement--Christian nationalism and Christian internationalism--that transformed the United States, diplomacy, and politics in the Cold War and beyond.

And may you have the power to understand, as all Gods people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love really is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is so great you will never fully understand it. Then you will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes from God." Ephesians 3:17-19 (NLT)
Описание: What if being a mother is one of our highest callings? An employer can have dozens, hundreds or thousands of employees, yet your children only get one mother. This book is a guide to help encourage you to be the greatest mother you can be, while calling on Yah to give you strength, courage, and joy. It is a 40 day journey that will help you be strong as you face the various challenges of motherhood, with a sharp focus on seeing your calling through scripture. You are anointed by God to love, teach, train, disciple, discipline and send out the children He has given you. YOU ARE! Going through this devotional while fasting simultaneously will bring a level of power and deliverance that cannot be obtained any other way. Not because of the book, but because God said that some deliverances we need can ONLY happen when we fast and pray. Of course, fasting is NOT a requirement to read this book! However, I am compelled to share the tremendous impact that fasting can have when you are trying to grow spiritually at a moment in time of your life, or if you need great breakthrough or deliverance If you have friends who are also mothers, it may be fun to go through the devotional and fast together. Having someone to talk with and pray through the topics with may help enrich the experience. But if you do not have anyone to go through it with, I trust that you will still get what you need and Yah will walk with you. Resist the urge to read ahead. The book is designed to give you food for thought to meditate, and really pray about. So read it one day at a time. Read it with a journal to write down any thoughts, questions or ideas that may stir in your mind. This will help you chart personal applications and remember your thoughts down the line. I pray that you would experience a life changing breakthrough from Gods word as it relates to being a Godly mother. It is a high calling that changes the world.
