"Many people find sacred choral music profound and deeply evocative, even in societies that seem to be turning away from religious belief. In this book, Julian Perlmutter examines how, in light of its wide appeal, sacred music can have religious significance for people regardless of their religious convictions. By differentiating between doctrinal belief and the desire for God, Perlmutter explores a longing for the spiritual that is compatible with both belief and 'interested non-belief'. He describes how sacred music can elicit this kind of longing, thereby helping the listener to grow in religious openness. The work of Thomas Merton is also analyzed in order to show that musically-elicited desire for God can be incorporated into the Christian practice of contemplative prayer, aimed ultimately at a union of love with God. By exploring connections between desire, knowledge and religious practice, this engaging account illustrates how sacred music can have a transformative effect on one's wider spiritual life. Of particular interest to philosophers and theologians, the book makes a novel contribution to several topics including religious epistemology, the philosophy of emotion and aesthetics."--

Studierende gelten als eine soziale Gruppe, die zu kritischen und rebellischen Haltungen neigt - dies legt zumindest ein Blick in die jüngere deutsche Geschichte nahe. Doch trifft dieser Eindruck von potenziell aktivistischen Studierenden auch tatsächlich zu oder handelt es sich dabei eher um einen lieb gewonnenen Mythos? Julian Schenke geht dieser Frage nach und sucht nach Anhaltspunkten für besondere Potenziale politischer Aktivität unter deutschen Studierenden. Dabei bewegt er sich in der interdisziplinären Schnittmenge von Geschichts- und Politikwissenschaft und liefert eindrucksvolle Ergebnisse für die Demokratieforschung aus Geschichte und Gegenwart.

"The Manifesto Handbook describes the hidden life of an undervalued genre: the conduit for declarations of principle, advertisements for new "isms," and provocations in pamphlet form. Often physically slight and small in scale, the manifesto is always grand in style and ambition. A bold, charismatic genre, it has founded some of the most important and revolutionary movements in modern history, from the declaration of wars and the birth of nations to the launch of countless social, political and artistic movements worldwide.Julian Hanna provides a brief genealogy of the genre, analyses its complex speaking position, traces the material process of manifesto making from production to dissemination, unpacks its extremist underbelly, and follows the twenty-first century resurgence of the manifesto as a re-politicised and reinvigorated digital form."--

"Food or War Ours is the Age of Food. Food is a central obsession in all cultures, nations, the media, and society. Our future supply of food is filled with risk, and history tells us that lack of food leads to war. But it also presents us with spectacular opportunities for fresh human creativity and technological prowess. Julian Cribb describes a new food system capable of meeting all humans' needs on our hot, overcrowded planet. The book is for anyone concerned about the health, safety, affordability, diversity, and sustainability of their food - and the peace of our planet. This book is not just timely - its message is of the greatest urgency. Audiences include consumers, 'foodies', policymakers, researchers, cooks, chefs and farmers. Indeed, anyone who cares about their food, where it comes from and what it means for them, their children and grandchildren"--
