Описание: This book will change the way you see the Middle East. Based on insights gained through his personal experience of living and working in the region the author invites you to travel across the social fabric and mentalities that make the Middle East tick. He enriches his social analysis with illuminating anecdotes, presented in candid language, but without moralising or pushing a political agenda and always with a critical eye and wry humour. Preferring a historical perspective instead of the standard narrow focus on Islam, he emphasises the tribal foundations of Arab societies. Exciting and easy to read from beginning to end for specialists and for the wider public alike. ----- Selected feedback on the German (2018) edition: --- 'I have already re-ordered your book twice as a present. It spreads tolerance and optimism.' --- 'It was like reading a thriller. Very exciting. I could not put it aside ... and never tactless or aggressive.' --- 'I was fascinated by the density of observations, which are serious and humorous at the same time... The details about women and clans are particularly impressive.' --- 'I liked the fact that the book is not only written for academics, but in a way that everyone can understand.' --- 'Our daughter is a psychologist. Among her clients are children from the Middle East. She finds your book extremely beneficial for her work.' --- 'The book has the potential to find broad acceptance, as the delicate topics and terminology are well mastered.' --- 'I started looking at the Middle East in a completely different way.'

Описание: This book offers a study of the cosmogonic works by Fr. Angelo Zottoli S.J., a Jesuit missionary who has received relatively little attention by modern scholars, but who deserves a special recognition for his theological and philosophical ideas. More generally, the book aims to shed light on the importance of cosmogony in the cross-cultural and interdisciplinary environment of Xujiahui, the area in modern Shanghai where Zottoli flourished. It shows how through Zottoli’s teaching and sermons he was able to reimagine his own cosmogonic ideas, his personality, and his relationship with local Chinese converts. Among Zottoli’s most famous students was Ma Xiangbo (??? 1840–1939) and Zottoli played a crucial role in Ma’s intellectual formation. A wider familiarity with Zottoli’s works is not only interesting in and of itself, but also paves the way to future studies on the complex and multifaceted relationship between European missionaries and Chinese students in Shanghai during the nineteenth century.
Описание: This book is the first scholarly study of the famous Jesuit Chinese children`s primer, the Four Character Classic, written by Giulio Aleni (1582-1649) while living in Fujian, China.

Описание:
With a focus on seven Jesuit university leaders emeriti and the late University of Notre Dame President Father Theodore Hesburgh, this book offers a critical analysis of the common values, philosophies, and leadership practices of Jesuit-Catholic university presidents within the broader higher education context. Looking at the impact of these leaders' spirituality on their leadership styles, The Hermeneutics of Jesuit Leadership illuminates the influence of their common perspectives and leadership styles on university policy and culture. Offering a clear framework for Jesuit-Catholic organizational culture in higher education, the author explores the key lessons and practices that can be derived from the presidents' similar leadership ideals and qualities.
