pRather than devote space to the type of theological and exegetical comments found in most commentaries, this series focuses on the Hebrew text and its related issues, syntactic and otherwise. The volumes serve as prequels to commentary proper, providing guides to understanding the linguistic characteristics of the texts from which the messages of the texts may then be derived. In addition to this, Ruth, the newest volume in the series, handbooks on Amos, Genesis 1-11, and Jonah are also now available.p

pKarl Jaspers 1883-1969 was a German psychiatrist and philosopher and one of the most original European thinkers of the twentieth century. As a major exponent of existentialism in Germany, he had a strong influence on modern theology, psychiatry and philosophy. He was Hannah Arendt's supervisor before her emigration to the United States in the 1930s and himself experienced the consequences of Nazi persecution. He was removed from his position at the University of Heidelberg in 1937, due to his wife being Jewish.p pp pPublished in 1949, the year in which the Federal Republic of Germany was founded, iThe Origin and Goal of Historyi is a vitally important book. It is renowned for Jaspers' theory of an 'Axial Age', running from the 8th to the 3rd century BCE. Jaspers argues that this period witnessed a remarkable flowering of new ways of thinking that appeared in Persia, India, China and the Greco-Roman world, in striking parallel development but without any obvious direct cultural contact between them. Jaspers identifies key thinkers from this age, including Confucius, Buddha, Zarathustra, Homer and Plato, who had a profound influence on the trajectory of future philosophies and religions. For Jaspers, crucially, it is here that we see the flowering of diverse philosophical beliefs such as scepticism, materialism, sophism, nihilism, and debates about good and evil, which taken together demonstrate human beings' shared ability to engage with universal, humanistic questions as opposed to those mired in nationality or authoritarianism.p pp pAt a deeper level, iThe Origin and Goal of Historyi provides a crucial philosophical framework for the liberal renewal of German intellectual life after 1945, and indeed of European intellectual life more widely, as a shattered continent attempted to find answers to what had happened in the preceding years. p pp pThis Routledge Classics edition includes a new Foreword by Christopher Thornhill

bONE OF BARACK OBAMA'S FAVORITE BOOKS OF 2022b pbbOne of Bill Gates's 5 books to read this summer, this iNew York Timesi and iWall Street Journali bestseller shows us that America's political system isn't broken. The truth is scarier it's working exactly as designed. In this superbly researched iThe Washington Posti and timely book, journalist Ezra Klein reveals how that system is polarizing us--and how we are polarizing it--with disastrous results.bbb pThe American political system--which includes everyone from voters to journalists to the president--is full of rational actors making rational decisions given the incentives they face, writes political analyst Ezra Klein. We are a collection of functional parts whose efforts combine into a dysfunctional whole. pA thoughtful, clear and persuasive analysis iThe New York Times Book Reviewi, iWhy We're Polarizedi reveals the structural and psychological forces behind America's descent into division and dysfunction. Neither a polemic nor a lament, this book offers a clear framework for understanding everything from Trump's rise to the Democratic Party's leftward shift to the politicization of everyday culture. pAmerica is polarized, first and foremost, by identity. Everyone engaged in American politics is engaged, at some level, in identity politics. Over the past fifty years in America, our partisan identities have merged with our racial, religious, geographic, ideological, and cultural identities. These merged identities have attained a weight that is breaking much in our politics and tearing at the bonds that hold this country together. pKlein shows how and why American politics polarized around identity in the 20th century, and what that polarization did to the way we see the world and one another. And he traces the feedback loops between polarized political identities and polarized political institutions that are driving our system toward crisis

bUntil now, you've only heard one side of the story, but Chinese American history extends far beyond the railroads. Here's the itruei story of America, from the Chinese American perspective.b pIf you've learned about the history of Chinese people in America, it was probably about their work on the railroads in the 1800s. But more likely, you may not have learned about it at all. This may make it feel like Chinese immigration is a newer part of this country, but some scholars believe the first immigrant arrived from China 499 CE--one thousand years before Columbus did! pWhen immigration picked up in the mid-1800s, efforts to ban immigrants from China began swiftly. But hope, strength, and community allowed the Chinese population in America to flourish. From the gold rush and railroads to entrepreneurs, animators, and movie stars, this is the true story of the Chinese American experience.

Have you ever looked at your precious but squirrely child in awe Have you ever stood in awe of their innocence, in awe of their wonder, or in awe of their curiosity of seeing the world for the first time Or have you ever just stood there and stared at their little face, just mesmerized by their beauty and adorableness, vowing to protect them from the world, including their future self Have you ever had to correct your child out of love, and it really did hurt you more than them Have you ever provided and sacrificed for them, so they would not go without Of course, we have, and it is because that is God's nature to love, adore, protect, and provide for us-His children. Not only does He look at us in adoration and through the eyes of love, protection, and provision, but also, He went a step further. He gave us an inheritance. He left us a legacy to follow. He gave us His parental DNA to love, adore, protect, and provide for our children and for all His children all around the world.

Readers who have discovered the delights of the British master storyteller H.E. Bates in emA Month by the Lakeem and emA Party for the Girlsem published by New Directions in 1987 and 1988 will welcome this third collection, emElephant's Nest in a Rhubarb Treeem. Gathered here are twenty stories written between 1938 and 1964 which, like those of Chekhov, to whom Bates has often been compared, are gems of human observation. There is the sheer hilarity of An Italian Haircut, the wincing cruelty of The Captain, the childhood enchantment of Love in a Wych Elm, the estrangments of divorce in Some Other Spring--to mention just a few of the colors on H.E. Bates' palette. And any reader who has met the dotty Aunt Leonora in The Chords of Youth and A Month by the Lake will relish meeting her again in the The Trespasser, the concluding story of this volume.

People of good will of every faith and nation should join hands and work in close cooperation, to help ensure that Islamic teachings are universally understood and applied in accord with its primary message of rahmah, and thus serve as a conduit through which God's infinite love and compassion may flow to all sentient beings. Given the current dynamics in the Muslim world -- and the institutional paralysis of the West, in the face of Muslim extremism -- this is admittedly an ambitious or even daunting endeavor. Yet for that very reason, it is a task worthy of anyone who feels the stirring of God's love in their breast, and the whispering of a conscience that refuses to yield all that is most precious in life to the forces of hatred, intimidation and violence. Former Indonesian president and Nahdlatul Ulama Chairman KH. Abdurrahman Wahid, Rahmah Universal Love and Compassion I regard the work of Humanitarian Islam and the Movement for Shared Civilizational Values as one of the most pathbreaking and important developments in world politics and cross-civilizational ethics in our generation. No event that I know of is more timely, urgent, or well conceived.

Read Co. Classics presents this new beautiful edition of William Shakespeare's play, Richard II. This edition features a specially commissioned new biography of William Shakespeare. The play is the first in Shakespeare's tetralogy chronicling the successive reigns of Richard II, Henry IV and Henry V, and covers the battle for power between King Richard and Henry Bolingbroke who would eventually be Henry IV. Embezzlement, exile and an uprising fail to restore Richard's place as King. Richard is depicted as feminine and weak, in contrast with the strong and masculine Bolingbroke. The play's implications on traditional expectations of men in society is an area of growing interest for contemporary scholars. William Shakespeare 1564 - 1616 was an English playwright, poet, and actor. He is considered to be the greatest writer in the English language and is celebrated as the world's most famous dramatist.

pA series of movies that share images, characters, settings, plots, or themes, film cycles have been an industrial strategy since the beginning of cinema. While some have viewed them as subgenres, mini-genres, or nascent film genres, Amanda Ann Klein argues that film cycles are an entity in their own right and a subject worthy of their own study. She posits that film cycles retain the marks of their historical, economic, and generic contexts and therefore can reveal much about the state of contemporary politics, prevalent social ideologies, aesthetic trends, popular desires, and anxieties.p piAmerican Film Cyclesi presents a series of case studies of successful film cycles, including the melodramatic gangster films of the 1920s, the 1930s Dead End Kids cycle, the 1950s juvenile delinquent teenpic cycle, and the 1990s ghetto action cycle. Klein situates these films in several historical trajectories-the Progressive movement of the 1910s and 1920s, the beginnings of America's involvement in World War II, the birth of the teenager in the 1950s, and the drug and gangbanger crises of the early 1990s. She shows how filmmakers, audiences, film reviewers, advertisements, and cultural discourses interact with and have an impact on the film texts. Her findings illustrate the utility of the film cycle in broadening our understanding of established film genres, articulating and building upon beliefs about contemporary social problems, shaping and disseminating deviant subcultures, and exploiting and reflecting upon racial and political upheaval.p

bA radical guide to the language of policingb pThis field guide arms activists--and indeed anyone concerned about police abuse--with critical insights that ultimately redefine the very idea of policing. When we talk about police and police reform, we speak the language of police legitimation through euphemism. So state sexual assault becomes body-cavity search, and ruthless beatings non-compliance deterrence. p In entries such as police dog, stop and frisk, and rough ride, the authors expose the way copspeak suppresses the true meaning and history of law enforcement. In field guide fashion, they reveal a world hidden in plain view. The book argues that a redefined language of policing might help us chart a future that's free. p Including explanations of newsmaking terms such as deadname, kettling, and qualified immunity, and a foreword by leading justice advocate Craig Gilmore.
