Описание: A powerful, surprising exploration of Scotland`s landscape and its hidden history
Описание: During the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, Chinggis Khan and his heirs established the largest contiguous empire in the history of the world, extending from Korea to Hungary and from Iraq, Tibet, and Burma to Siberia. Ruling over roughly two thirds of the Old World, the Mongol Empire enabled people, ideas, and objects to traverse immense geographical and cultural boundaries. Along the Silk Roads in Mongol Eurasia reveals the individual stories of three key groups of people--military commanders, merchants, and intellectuals--from across Eurasia. These annotated biographies bring to the fore a compelling picture of the Mongol Empire from a wide range of historical sources in multiple languages, providing important insights into a period unique for its rapid and far-reaching transformations.

Описание: No matter how difficult the situations you have faced or are facing, you can still overcome them.
The things we go through are only shaping us to be able to receive the greater things that God has in store for us later in life. These situations are just pushing us into the purpose and destiny that God has for us.
Life can sometimes be a struggle, and we may feel hopeless. Often, we go through things that we have no control over; things that were never our fault, and that we shouldn't have to go through. It's not fair. It's not pleasant. But this is the life that we live.
This book tells the true story of two lives that spiraled through some of the most difficult things you can imagine during their childhood and teenage years. There was a lot of pain, a lot of hurt, a lot of disappointment, and most of all, a lot of hopelessness. Still-somehow-there was a glimmer of light.
This is the story of the lives of Rev. Kenneth Pritchard Jr. and Rev. Sheika Pritchard and how, what seemed like the end of the world, turned out to be the handiwork of God's grace. Our story shows how God was able to work in our lives, and includes some advice about the kinds of support we needed when we first found our faith. Our story and the tools we describe could also help you, and those you know....

Описание: Music sociology occupies a special position in the social and cultural sciences. The terminology alone – in German it is ‘Musiksoziologie’ and not ‘Soziologie der Musik’ – indicates many possible approaches: Is ‘music sociology’ a subdiscipline within sociology or musicology? Or is it a discipline on its own, espousing significant differences from sociology and musicology alike? On the occasion of its 50th anniversary, the Department of Music Sociology at the mdw – University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna – probably the only one in the world to bear the name as a separate department – decided to clarify the state of music sociology. Some of the world’s most prominent representatives of the discipline were invited to participate in this project and present their own viewpoints on the various approaches to music sociology. Their contributions address the particular research objects of music sociology (institutions of musical life; production, distribution and consumption of music; music-making; ‘works’, genres and repertoires; etc.) as well as the different methods of research (stock-taking, surveys, interviews, music analysis, biographical research, etc.).

Описание: This book aims to study the departure and reception of refugees in 19th-century Europe, from the Congress of Vienna to the 1870-1880s. Through eight chapters, it draws on a transnational approach to analyze migratory movements across European borders. The book reviews the chronology of exile and shows how European states welcomed, selected, and expelled refugees. In addition to presenting the point of view of nation-states, it reflects the experience of those migrating. The book addresses departure into exile, captured through the material circumstances of crossing borders in the 19th century, and examines the emergence of new ways to pursue political commitments from abroad. The outcasts are considered in all their diversity, with a prominent place accorded to women and children, many of whom also moved under duress. The book aims to shed light on the forced migrations of Europeans across Europe, while also considering the global dimension, looking at exile to the Americas or the French colonies. A final chapter examines the impossibility or difficulty of returning from exile to one’s country of origin, as well as the a posteriori memorial constructs around that crucial experience.
