A Culture of Ambiguity

An Alternative History of Islam

By: Thomas Bauer

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

A Culture of Ambiguity

An Alternative History of Islam

By: Thomas Bauer

In the Western imagination, Islamic cultures are dominated by dogmatic religious norms that permit no nuance. Those fighting such stereotypes have countered with a portrait of Islam’s medieval “Golden Age,” marked by rationality, tolerance, and even proto-secularism. How can we understand Islamic history, culture, and thought beyond this dichotomy? In this magisterial cultural and intellectual history, Thomas Bauer reconsiders classical and modern Islam by tracing differing attitudes toward ambiguity. Over a span of many centuries, he explores the tension between one strand that aspires to annihilate all uncertainties and establish absolute, uncontestable truths and another, competing tendency that looks for ways to live with ambiguity and accept complexity. Bauer ranges across cultural and linguistic ambiguities, considering premodern Islamic textual and cultural forms from law to Quranic exegesis to literary genres alongside attitudes toward religious minorities and foreigners. He emphasizes the relative absence of conflict between religious and secular discourses in classical Islamic culture, which stands in striking contrast to both present-day fundamentalism and much of European history. Bauer shows how Islam’s encounter with the modern West and its demand for certainty helped bring about both Islamicist and secular liberal ideologies that in their own ways rejected ambiguity—and therefore also their own cultural traditions. Awarded the prestigious Leibniz Prize, A Culture of Ambiguity not only reframes a vast range of Islamic history but also offers an interdisciplinary model for investigating the tolerance of ambiguity across cultures and eras.

The Rise of a Prairie Statesman

The Life and Times of George McGovern

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Rise of a Prairie Statesman

The Life and Times of George McGovern

By: Thomas J. Knock

The first major biography of the 1972 U.S. presidential candidate and unsung champion of American liberalism The Rise of a Prairie Statesman is the first volume of a major biography of the 1972 Democratic presidential candidate who became America's most eloquent and prescient critic of the Vietnam War. In this masterful book, Thomas Knock traces George McGovern's life from his rustic boyhood in a South Dakota prairie town during the Depression to his rise to the pinnacle of politics at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago where police and antiwar demonstrators clashed in the city's streets. Drawing extensively on McGovern's private papers and scores of in-depth interviews, Knock shows how McGovern's importance to the Democratic Party and American liberalism extended far beyond his 1972 presidential campaign, and how the story of postwar American politics is about more than just the rise of the New Right. He vividly describes McGovern's harrowing missions over Nazi Germany as a B-24 bomber pilot, and reveals how McGovern's combat experiences motivated him to earn a PhD in history and stoked his ambition to run for Congress. When President Kennedy appointed him director of Food for Peace in 1961, McGovern engineered a vast expansion of the program's school lunch initiative that soon was feeding tens of millions of hungry children around the world. As a senator, he delivered his courageous and unrelenting critique of Lyndon Johnson's escalation in Vietnam—a conflict that brought their party to disaster and caused a new generation of Democrats to turn to McGovern for leadership. A stunning achievement, The Rise of a Prairie Statesman ends in 1968, in the wake of the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy, when the "Draft McGovern" movement thrust him into the national spotlight and the contest for the presidential nomination, culminating in his triumphal reelection to the Senate and his emergence as one of the most likely prospects for the Democratic nomination in 1972..

Meanwhile, Lexy is threatened by the vile professor Jupiter Peacock and Wolf embarks on a perilous journey to find his missing sister. And back at school, Neptune the cat is bored. He’s used to lording over the other stray cats, but they’ve all mysteriously vanished. Where could they be—and how will he find them?

Chasing the American Dream

Chasing the American Dream

Understanding What Shapes Our Fortunes

By: Mark Robert Rank PhD,Thomas A. Hirschl PhD,Kirk A. Foster PhD

The United States has been epitomized as a land of opportunity, where hard work and skill can bring personal success and economic well-being. The American Dream has captured the imagination of people from all walks of life, and to many, it represents the heart and soul of the country. But there is another, darker side to the bargain that America strikes with its people -- it is the price we pay for our individual pursuit of the American Dream. That price can be found in the economic hardship present in the lives of millions of Americans. In Chasing the American Dream, leading social scientists Mark Robert Rank, Thomas A. Hirschl, and Kirk A. Foster provide a new and innovative look into a curious dynamic -- the tension between the promise of economic opportunities and rewards and the amount of turmoil that Americans encounter in their quest for those rewards. The authors explore questions such as: -What percentage of Americans achieve affluence, and how much income mobility do we actually have? -Are most Americans able to own a home, and at what age? -How is it that nearly 80 percent of us will experience significant economic insecurity at some point between ages 25 and 60? -How can access to the American Dream be increased? Combining personal interviews with dozens of Americans and a longitudinal study covering 40 years of income data, the authors tell the story of the American Dream and reveal a number of surprises. The risk of economic vulnerability has increased substantially over the past four decades, and the American Dream is becoming harder to reach and harder to keep. Yet for most Americans, the Dream lies not in wealth, but in economic security, pursuing one's passions, and looking toward the future. Chasing the American Dream provides us with a new understanding into the dynamics that shape our fortunes and a deeper insight into the importance of the American Dream for the future of the country.

You Owe You

Ignite Your Power, Your Purpose, and Your Why

By: Eric Thomas, PhD

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “Eric Thomas moves, inspires, encourages, and challenges people to reach their full potential. You Owe You is flat-out brilliant, and he ain’t lied yet!”—Deion Sanders, Coach Prime No matter your story or your struggle, Eric Thomas—celebrated motivational guru, educator, and problem-solver to many of the top athletes and business leaders—will “help you work harder, discover your real motivation, and crack the code of enduring success” (Ed Mylett, #1 bestselling author of The Power of One More) If you feel like success is for others, that only certain people get to have their dreams fulfilled, Eric Thomas’s You Owe You is your wake-up call. His urgent message to stop waiting for inspiration to strike and take control of your life is one he wishes someone had given him when he was a teenager—lost, homeless, failing in school, and dealing with the challenges of being a young Black man in America. Once he was able to break free from thinking of himself as a victim and truly understand his strengths, he switched the script. And now, with this book, Thomas reveals how you, too, can rewrite your life's script. With support, he recognized that his unique gift is being able to capture the attention of all kinds of people in all kinds of settings—boardrooms, locker rooms, churches, classrooms, even the streets—thanks to his wealth of experiences and command of language. Today, Thomas considers himself blessed to speak to an audience that is as large as it is diverse, from the rich and famous to kids struggling in school to young men in prison hoping for a new start. Thomas’s secrets of success have already helped hundreds of thousands on their journey, but this is his first guide to show you how to start today, right now. These critical first steps include deeply understanding yourself and the world around you, finding your why, accepting that you may have to give up something good for something great, and constantly stretching toward your potential. No matter where you are on your journey toward greatness, you owe it to yourself to become fully, authentically you. And Eric Thomas’s You Owe You can help get you there.

The Apocalypse in Reformation Nuremberg

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Apocalypse in Reformation Nuremberg

Jews and Turks in Andreas Osiander’s World

By: Andrew L. Thomas

Lutheran preacher and theologian Andreas Osiander (1498–1552) played a critical role in spreading the Lutheran Reformation in sixteenth-century Nuremberg. Besides being the most influential ecclesiastical leader in a prominent German city, Osiander was also a well-known scholar of Hebrew. He composed what is considered to be the first printed treatise by a Christian defending Jews against blood libel. Despite Osiander’s importance, however, he remains surprisingly understudied. The Apocalypse in Reformation Nuremberg: Jews and Turks in Andreas Osiander’s World is the first book in any language to concentrate on his attitudes toward both Jews and Turks, and it does so within the dynamic interplay between his apocalyptic thought and lived reality in shaping Lutheran identity. Likewise, it presents the first published English translation of Osiander’s famous treatise on blood libel. Osiander’s writings on Jews and Turks that shaped Lutherans’ identity from cradle to grave in Nuremberg also provide a valuable mirror to reflect on the historical antecedents to modern antisemitism and Islamophobia and thus elucidate how the related stereotypes and prejudices are both perpetuated and overcome.

Robin Hood

The Early Poems, 1465-1560 : Texts, Contexts, and Ideology

By: Thomas H. Ohlgren,Lister M. Matheson

While references to Robin Hood began to appear as early as the thirteenth century in legal records, the earliest surviving poems did not appear in manuscripts and early printed books until the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Several fourteenth-century allusions in the works of William Langland and Geoffrey Chaucer suggest that the rymes of Robyn Hood were widely circulating by the 1370s, but, it is vital to note, none of these late fourteenth-century works survives. A better approach, Thomas H. Ohlgren argues, is to focus on what has actually survived rather than on what might have existed. As a result, the poems Robin Hood and the Monk and Robin Hood and the Potter, which survive in two different Cambridge manuscripts of the last third of the fifteenth century, and A Lytell Geste of Robyn Hode, which was printed at least seven times in the sixteenth century, must receive pride of place in the canon because they have a physical reality as material artifacts - in short, they exist and provide valuable information about the places and times of their composition and dissemination.

Ambulatory Medicine

A Quick Reference for the Busy Primary Care Provider

By: H. Thomas Milhorn, MD, PhD

This guide began as a manual for family medicine residents. Over time it evolved into a fairly complete coverage of most of the outpatient issues seen in their training. In response to their urging, I set out on the journey to convert the manual into the manuscript for this book. The book is intended for primary care physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants. It serves three purposes: (1) as a quick reference for primary care providers to use in the clinic when seeing patients, (2) as a textbook, and (3) as a study guide for Board examinations. It covers a great number of topics briefly to allow quick reading. To allow fast access, the chapters are arranged in alphabetical order beginning with Chapter 1: Allergy and ending with Chapter 27: Women’s Health. Topics within chapters also are arranged in alphabetical order, again to allow quick access. Table of Contents * Chapter 1: Allergy * Chapter 2: Cardiovascular * Chapter 3: Dermatology * Chapter 4: Electrolyte Disorders * Chapter 5: Endocrinology * Chapter 6: Gastrointestinal * Chapter 7: Hematology * Chapter 8: Infectious Disease * Chapter 9: Men’s Health * Chapter 10: Miscellaneous * Chapter 11: Muscle Disorders * Chapter 12: Neurology * Chapter 13: Oncology * Chapter 14: Ophthalmology * Chapter 15: Orthopedics * Chapter 16: Otolaryngology * Chapter 17: Pain * Chapter 18: Pediatrics * Chapter 19: Preventive Medicine * Chapter 20: Psychiatry * Chapter 21: Pulmonary * Chapter 22: Rheumatology * Chapter 23: Sexual Disorders * Chapter 24: Urgery * Chapter 25: Urology/Nephrology * Chapter 26: Weight Problems * Chapter 27: Women’s Health REVIEWS AND WORDS OF PRAISE Dr. Milhorn has done a Herculean job to create this textbook for ambulatory primary care providers that is current and comprehensive. Each section covers the basics of pathophysiology, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. The content is presented in a way that is easy to use and understand with excellent supporting photographs and tables. Additionally, the references are extensive and current. I can definitely see using this resource not only in clinical practice, but for exam review and preparation. --Diane Beebe, MD, Professor Emeritus and Past Chair Department of Family Medicine, University, Mississippi School of Medicine. Past Chair American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM) If you are looking for a concise, informative, and well written quick reference for family physician residents, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, or busy family physicians, look no further. Ambulatory Medicine by Dr. H. Thomas Milhorn distinguishes itself as the premier reference guide, textbook, and board review source on the market today; it is in a class all by itself. --Lee Valentine, DO, Medical Director Mississippi State University Physician Assistant Program and past Program Director of EC Healthnet Family Medicine Residency Program

Chicago Skyscrapers, 1934-1986

Chicago Skyscrapers, 1934-1986

How Technology, Politics, Finance, and Race Reshaped the City

By: Thomas Leslie

From skyline-defining icons to wonders of the world, the second period of the Chicago skyscraper transformed the way Chicagoans lived and worked. Thomas Leslie’s comprehensive look at the modern skyscraper era views the skyscraper idea, and the buildings themselves, within the broad expanse of city history. As construction emerged from the Great Depression, structural, mechanical, and cladding innovations evolved while continuing to influence designs. But the truly radical changes concerned the motivations that drove construction. While profit remained key in the Loop, developers elsewhere in Chicago worked with a Daley political regime that saw tall buildings as tools for a wholesale recasting of the city’s appearance, demography, and economy. Focusing on both the wider cityscape and specific buildings, Leslie reveals skyscrapers to be the physical results of negotiations between motivating and mechanical causes. Illustrated with more than 140 photographs, Chicago Skyscrapers, 1934–1986 tells the fascinating stories of the people, ideas, negotiations, decision-making, compromises, and strategies that changed the history of architecture and one of its showcase cities.
