Biography: religious & spiritual2019Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky and the "positive-sum" principle
by Myroslav Marynovych
The book contains a thorough analysis of the preaching heritage of Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky from the point of view of its compliance (or non-compliance) with the methodological principle, which is now called "positive-sum" or "win-win". The Metropolitan derived the genesis of this way of thinking from theology, and the author finds examples of its application by the Metropolitan himself in the messages of Andrei Sheptytsky in the field of economic relations, national relations, state building, inter-confessional and inter-religious relations. The author supplemented this scientific research with his own vision of what role the positive-sum principle and the formula of Metropolitan Andrey can play in the near future of Ukraine and the world.

Biography & True StoriesFebruary 2020Andrey Sheptytsky. Biography
by Roman Horak
Fourteen moments of the Passion of Christ, called stations, were recorded by human memory on the way of our salvation on Calvary. Fourteen moments of our humiliation and humiliation of our faith... How many humiliation he suffered, Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky, who felt like a Kyrenian, who helped us carry our cross, when those who called themselves leaders abandoned us, and when our language was banned. ...And the Lord took pity on us. And as a great manifestation of love for us, He sent Him, who was destined to go with us on His way to Calvary. Let's not forget: he was always a stranger among those for whom he came into this world. His conversion to his ancestors' faith was perceived ambiguously. The book is based on documentary materials, the authenticity of which has been confirmed. It creates the impression of a real epic of time and relationships. In addition to memories of the metropolitan, the testimony of the press, which recorded his every step, denunciations on him, materials of special services, protocols of interrogations, reports of employees and special agents, who have been monitoring Metropolitan Sheptytsky since 1937, were used. For a wide range of readers.

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 1977The Leibniz-Clarke Correspondence
With extracts from Newton's 'Principia' and 'Optiks'
by Robert Gavin Alexander
n 1715 Leibniz wrote to his friend the Princess of Wales to warn her of the dangers Newton's philosophy posed for natural religion. Seizing this chance of initiating an exchange between the two greatest minds in Europe, the princess showed his letter to the eminent Newtonian scientist and natural theologian, Samuel Clarke. From his reply developed an exchange of papers which was published in 1717. The correspondence was immediately seen as a crucial discussion of the significance of the new science, and it became one of the most widely read philosophical works of its time.In this edition, an introduction outlines the historical background, and there is a valuable survey of the subsequent discussions of the problem of space and time in the philosophy of science. Significant references to the controversy in Leibniz's other correspondence have also been collected, and the relevant passages from Newton's Principia and Opticks are appended.

Kant developed his theory of space and time from the problems at issue, and the post-Newtonian physics of the twentieth century has brought a revival of interest in Leibniz's objections: some of the problems are still not finally resolved.

The strange worlds of Soft Cell
by Patrick Clarke
A rich and revealing examination of the legendary pop duo Soft Cell. Soft Cell are not your average pop band. Marc Almond and Dave Ball may be best known for the string of hits they released in 1981, but the powerful first phase of their collaboration embraced a staggering array of sounds, influences and innovations that would change the face of music to come. In Bedsit land, Patrick Clarke plunges into the archives and interviews more than sixty contributors, including the band members themselves, to follow Soft Cell through the many strange and sprawling worlds that shaped their extraordinary career. They lead him from the faded camp glamour of the British seaside to the dizzying thrills of the New York club scene. From transgressive student performance art to the sleaze and squalor of pre-gentrified Soho. From the glitz of British showbiz to the drug-addled chaos of post-Franco Spain. He emerges on the other side with the most in-depth, innovative and entertaining account of the duo ever written.

October 2005Polen und der Osten
Texte zu einem spannungsreichen Verhältnis
by Andrzej Chwalba, Jan Conrad, Friedrich Griese, Jürgen Heyde, Nina Kozlowski, Peter Oliver Loew
Polens Osten ist weit. Da sind die einstigen Ostgebiete – das historische Staatsgebiet der Adelsrepublik reichte bis Kiew und Smolensk. Da sind die östlichen Nachbarn – Russen, Ukrainer, Weißrussen, Litauer. Der Osten bereicherte das Land, barg aber auch Gefahren. Das vielschichtige Spannungsverhältnis zwischen Polen und dem Osten prägt das politische Denken und die Kultur des Landes. Einige Stichworte: Russifizierung und imperiale Machtpolitik, kommunistische Bedrohung, neue osteuropäische Nationalismen, Bürgerkriege, Flucht und Vertreibung, die Zugehörigkeit zum »Ostblock« und die Auflösung desselben, Polens Sehnsucht nach dem Westen und der Sehnsuchtshorizont der verlorenen Ostgebiete, die neuen Nachbarschaften nach der politischen Wende mit Rußland, Ukraine, Weißrußland und auch Litauen. Andrzej Chwalba zeichnet in seiner Anthologie die komplizierte Geschichte und Gegenwart nach und erhellt anhand ausgewählter Texte der letzten hundert Jahre, wie Polen sich den Osten denkt. Der Band enthält Texte von Pawe} Jasienica, Józef Pi}sudski, Aleksander Hertz, Paulina Watowa, Gustav Herling, Stanis}aw Vincenz, Adam Zagajewski und anderen. Die Reihe ›Denken und Wissen. Eine Polnische Bibliothek‹ präsentiert herausragende Texte polnischer Wissenschaftler und zentrale Themen des geistigen Lebens in Polen. Damit soll der Zugang zu Denktraditionen und Diskussionen erleichtert werden, die ein integraler Bestandteil der europäischen Wissenslandschaft sind. Die Reihe wird von Dieter Bingen am Deutschen Polen-Institut Darmstadt herausgegeben.

The Arctic in the British imagination 1818–1914
by Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie, Rob David
The Arctic region has been the subject of much popular writing. This book considers nineteenth-century representations of the Arctic, and draws upon an extensive range of evidence that will allow the 'widest connections' to emerge from a 'cross-disciplinary analysis' using different methodologies and subject matter. It positions the Arctic alongside more thoroughly investigated theatres of Victorian enterprise. In the nineteenth century, most images were in the form of paintings, travel narratives, lectures given by the explorers themselves and photographs. The book explores key themes in Arctic images which impacted on subsequent representations through text, painting and photography. For much of the nineteenth century, national and regional geographical societies promoted exploration, and rewarded heroic endeavor. The book discusses images of the Arctic which originated in the activities of the geographical societies. The Times provided very low-key reporting of Arctic expeditions, as evidenced by its coverage of the missions of Sir John Franklin and James Clark Ross. However, the illustrated weekly became one of the main sources of popular representations of the Arctic. The book looks at the exhibitions of Arctic peoples, Arctic exploration and Arctic fauna in Britain. Late nineteenth-century exhibitions which featured the Arctic were essentially nostalgic in tone. The Golliwogg's Polar Adventures, published in 1900, drew on adult representations of the Arctic and will have confirmed and reinforced children's perceptions of the region. Text books, board games and novels helped to keep the subject alive among the young.
