Описание: However, nearly every- one - including scientists - agrees that the concepts of modem physics are quite incomprehensible: They are both unintelligible to the educated lay-person and to the scientific community itself, where there is much dispute over the interpretation of even (and especially) the most basic concepts.
Описание: Explores how Jews, Christians, and Muslims conceptualize us and them through rules about the preparation of food by adherents of other religions and the act of eating with such outsiders. The author analyzes the significance of food to religious formation, elucidating the ways medieval scholars use food restrictions to think about the other.
Drawing on extensive ethnographic fieldwork and in-depth life history interviews, this illuminating book provides an intimate portrait of contemporary Chinese Christianity in the context of a modern, commercialized economy. In vivid detail, anthropologist Nanlai Cao explores the massive resurgence of Protestant Christianity in the southeastern coastal city of Wenzhou—popularly referred to by its residents as "China's Jerusalem"—a nationwide model for economic development and the largest urban Christian center in China.
Cao's study of Chinese Christians delves into the dynamics of activities such as banqueting, network building, property acquisition, mate selection, marriage ritual, migrant work, and education. Unlike previous research that has mainly looked at older, rural, and socially marginalized church communities, Cao trains his focus on economically powerful, politically connected, moralizing Christian entrepreneurs. In framing the city of Wenzhou as China's Jerusalem, newly rich Chinese Christians seek not only to express their leadership aspirations in a global religious movement but also to assert their place, identity, and elite status in post-reform Chinese society.

Описание: At the beginning of the nineteenth century, little was known of the ancient Near East except for what was preserved in the Bi¬ble and classical literature. By the end of the nineteenth cen¬tury, an amazing transformation had occurred: the basic out¬line of ancient Near Eastern history was understood and the mate¬rial culture of the region was recognizable to the general pub¬lic. This three-volume study explores the various ways that non-specialists would have encountered ancient Egypt, Mesopota¬mia, and the Holy Land and how they derived and con¬structed meaning from those discoveries. McGeough chal¬lenges the simplistic view that the experience of the ancient Near East was solely a matter of 'othering' and shows how differ¬ent people claimed the Near East as their own space and how connections were drawn between the ancient and contempo¬rary worlds. Volume II examines the different ways that non-specialists encoun¬tered the materiality of the ancient Near East over the course of the nineteenth century. During this time, people col¬lected artifacts while traveling in the region or paid to see the col¬lections that others brought back. The public experienced the ancient world in museum exhibits that privileged 'real' arti¬facts in a new context or in hyper-real displays (like the Crystal Palace) where whole buildings from the ancient Near East were reconstructed. Men and women dressed as biblical charac-ters in travelling fairs or spent an evening unwrapping a mummy. Individuals bought Assyriological souvenirs and em¬ployed Egyptian styles in their design, first in higher quality de¬signer products and later in novelty items. Egyptian temples pro¬vided the architectural inspiration for buildings in London and the ancient use of colour was a strong argument for reimagin¬ing Victorian style. The adoption of Egypt, especially, in the world's-fair phenomenon linked the ancient Near East with a global future in which change was naturalized and consum¬ers were taught not to be afraid of the transformations brought by the industrial age.
