Andrew Tait Jarboe, "War News in India: The Punjabi Press During World War I"
English | ISBN: 178453191X | 2015 | 256 pages | PDF | 2 MB
The Punjab region of India sent more than 600,000 combatants to assist the British war effort during World War I. Their families back home, thousands of miles from the major scenes of battle, were desperate for war news, and newspapers provided daily reports to keep the local population up-to-date with developments on the Western Front. This book presents the first English-language translations of hundreds of articles published during World War I in the newsapers of the Punjab region. They offer a lens into the anxieties and aspirations of Punjabis, a population that committed resources, food, labour as well as combatants to the British war effort. Amidst a steadily growing field of studies on World War I that examine the effects of the war on colonial populations, War News in India makes a unique and timely contribution.

Und was hat das alles damit zu tun, dass die Menschen sich vor zehntausend Jahren von Jägern und Sammlern zu Bauern entwickelten?

Angesichts der jüngsten Bemühungen, den Klimawandel mit sauberer Energie und umweltfreundlichen Technologien zu bekämpfen, gewinnt der Einsatz von Wasserstoff in thermischen Motoren an Bedeutung.
Terje Oestigaard, "Water, Christianity and the Rise of Capitalism"
English | ISBN: 1780760663 | 2013 | 224 pages | PDF | 26 MB
The Christian religion is deeply imbued with the imagery of water, and water plays a central role in its religious practices, not least in baptism. Yet the wider role of water in Christianity has been little explored. In this pioneering book, Terje Oestigaard uses the dramatic changes that took place in perceptions of water during the Reformation to reveal the importance that water played in structuring society and religion in the post-Reformation period. Prior to the Reformation, most common people believed misfortune and catastrophe were caused by the devil, and sought protection in the use of holy water blessed by the local priest. Holy water and holy wells gave laypeople a powerful weapon which could be used to keep the devil away, cure illness and protect fields, property and family. But with the Reformation, the nature of holy water was challenged and belief in the efficacy of holy water and holy wells was attacked as Popish magic and superstition: the status of holy water became one of the main battlegrounds between Protestants and Catholics. The author explores these conflicting views on the spiritual qualities of water and their consequences for society at large.
He traces the changing views of nature that arose with Enlightenment developments in the scientific understanding of water and the hydrological cycle, and shows how the emergence of a natural theology helped encourage a belief in the Protestant work ethic whereby wealth and economic success equated with religious excellence. The author concludes by examining - and challenging - Weber's claim that the protestant work ethic and capitalist spirit of enterprise that was so important to the later success of the Industrial Revolution came about when magic and superstition were eliminated from religion by the Reformation. The result is a highly original work that provides one of the most detailed explorations of the importance of the role of water in structuring society and religion in post-Reformation England. Offering fresh insights into the development of society and religion, it will be welcomed by all those with an interest in water, religion, sociology, and the Reformation period.

Waving the Swedish Flag in Economics: Festschrift for Hans-Michael Trautwein
English | 2025 | ISBN: 3031715101 | 426 Pages | PDF (True) | 6 MB
This book examines Swedish influences in the history of economics. Knut Wicksell (1851-1926) can be regarded as the founder of modern monetary macroeconomics. His work has significantly influenced both economic theory and the monetary policy of central banks and continues to do so to this day. Wicksell and other important Swedish economists like Gustav Cassel, Bertil Ohlin and Erik Lindahl, as well as Swedish economic policy, have shaped Hans-Michael Trautwein's research from the very beginning. In this book, written in honor of Hans-Michael Trautwein, leading international scholars discuss various topics in modern monetary macroeconomics, Swedish contributions to economics, problems in international economics and globalization, and selected topics in the history of economic thought.
Jason Valeriano Hallig, "We Are Catholic: Catholic, Catholicity, and Catholicization"
English | ISBN: 1498289452 | 2016 | 200 pages | EPUB | 925 KB
What is a church? What makes a church a church? What is necessary to have a church? Is membership in a local church really that important? Might a group of people who claim to be Christians become so unlike what a church should be that they should no longer be called a church? Why are there so many churches of different traditions? What is tradition? Are the historical traditions of the church still relevant today? These and many others are questions related to the life and purpose of the church, which every Christian must wrestle with not only for themselves, as disciples of Jesus, but also for others to whom they are called to make disciples. One of the early confessions of the Christian church centers on the catholicity of the church-"we believe in the holy Catholic Church." It was Ignatius who first used the word catholic and rightly identified the church as the Catholic Church: "Where Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church." This book offers a fresh look at this important mark of the church from an evangelical perspective, and seeks to elucidate the life (being) and purpose (doing) of the church. The author believes that "catholicity is to the church as the Trinity is to God." "We are Catholic" is a confession of our faith in Christ, our commitment to the unity of the church (local and universal)-anchored in the Word and in the Spirit-and our passion for the mission to all the nations as a community of disciples of Jesus Christ.
Steve Shores, "We Hate to Wait: Shedding Our Harried Self-Love "
English | ISBN: 1666790540 | 2022 | 102 pages | EPUB | 499 KB
It seems that the only time we're not hurrying is when we're rushing. By the time we heed the calls of smartphones, iPods, iPads, emails, podcasts, downloads, app shopping, YouTubing, web browsing, posting, and responding to posts, we've ridden the amped-up hurry-train so far that we're lost. In fact, the last items in our list ("posting and responding to posts") sound so much like "marrying and giving in marriage" that we might well conclude that we are wedded to whipped-up drivenness. We need a fast from going fast. The gospel of Christ calls us to rest, but learning how takes time. We're invited to ease off the hurry-train and learn the pace of waiting. But waiting for what? To become a bit more like Jesus, who lived at a breathtakingly still point before the one who sent him.
Wayne Baxter, "We've Lost. What Now?: Practical Counsel from the Book of Daniel"
English | ISBN: 162564776X | 2015 | 158 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Is the church of the twenty-first century supposed to regain its former glory, or is it too late? Are the people of God in exile yet again? Have we lost our cultural footing and are now in desperate need to find a new way for the present millennium? Daniel was born into a nation of God-fearers, where the Scriptures were embraced and biblical values espoused. But that all changed with the Babylonian exile. Daniel's God, his values, and his faith had become irrelevant and even despised in his society. With the erosion of Christendom, Daniel's story has become the church's story! We've Lost. What Now? offers a clear, insightful, and relevant exposition of Daniel in order to empower believers to minister more effectively than ever before from the social and cultural margins the church now inhabits.
Wealth and the Built Environment
English | 2025 | ISBN: 3031819535 | 258 Pages | PDF (True) | 28 MB
The need to address global environmental problems is urgent. The United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) cover a wide range of global concerns, from poverty, hunger, and gender equity to justice and climate action. Concerningly, the SDGs still have faith in economic growth and technological innovation as the means of fixing all global concerns, including climate change. What is not questioned is whether solving development and sustainability problems through economic growth for the accumulation of wealth for the few has led to many of the current unequal development and environmental problems. If unfair growth and wealth accumulation have been part of the problem, how can they be part of the solution? The problem with the SDGs is that their fulfilment relies on wealth creation without the fundamental concomitant of wealth redistribution. The one common driver of change affecting both sustainability and development that has not been included in the SDGs is wealth, the central focus of this book.

Janice Farnham, "Weaving Hope: The Religious of Jesus and Mary in the United States, 1877-2017"
English | ISBN: 1725276534 | 2020 | 398 pages | EPUB | 13 MB
Weaving Hope is a narrative history of one group of Catholic women religious in the United States. From Quebec, Canada, in 1877 the Religious of Jesus and Mary arrived as missionaries to teach children of French-Canadian immigrants in textile industries of New England. Their ministry spread to New York, Maryland, the South, and the West. Primarily educators, they directed academies and parish schools. In the South and Southwest, they added pastoral outreach to their educational ministry. With few resources, the sisters overcame diverse challenges to create a network of service from coast to coast. This book presents the challenges they faced from local hierarchy and clergy, as well as ethnic prejudices, language difficulties, classism, and financial insecurity. Their faith and bold courage are displayed in this vibrant tapestry of a small but significant piece of women's history in our nation.

George B Thompson, "Welcome to the One Great Story!: Tracing the Biblical Narrative from Genesis to Revelation"
English | ISBN: 1725277301 | 2020 | 248 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
The Bible is not easy to figure out! Churches are filled with adults who are too embarrassed to admit their sketchy knowledge, and jumbled impressions, of biblical material. Even seminary-trained pastors struggle to get a handle on the flow of the Scriptures from beginning to end. No wonder so many people give up on the Bible-and even the church. This book claims that what gives the Bible its overarching integrity and lasting value is a narrative, a storyline. Readers who approach the Bible with narrative in mind will discover from Genesis to Revelation a story that begins at a certain point, establishes a theme; develops, continues, and adapts that theme; and reaches a resolution (of sorts!). Rather than a book-by-book treatment of the Bible, this book identifies and traces a Story that stretches across the corpus of the canon, a Story in which divine promise and human response constantly define each episode. Text boxes, reflection questions, chapter questions, and activities encourage the reader to engage with content at more than one level all along the way. Engaging with the Bible can become exhilarating and gratifying!

In summary, I would highly recommend this book to any patient who has recently been diagnosed with cancer.
Elias Hofer, "Weltanschauung and Apologia: A Study in C. S. Lewis"
English | ISBN: 1666739537 | 2022 | 278 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
This book allows us to accompany C. S. Lewis on his intellectual and spiritual journey from atheism to pantheism and eventually to Christianity. It analyzes key elements of Lewis's Christian worldview and identifies challenges leveled against it from alternative worldviews. It examines Lewis's apologetic methodology, highlighting how it was shaped by his worldview, and provides an analysis of Lewis's specific responses to a number of objections. The project also serves as a comparative analysis of worldviews, particularly as they relate to truth claims of the Christian faith. The notion of worldview is critical to the formulation of views. One's worldview determines how reality is perceived. It's characterized as a set of glasses through which we view our surroundings and interpret experiences. It accounts for the perspective we bring to every event in life and helps explain why different people "see" things differently when looking at the same data. The same evidence may lead one person to reject a particular conclusion, while moving another to embrace what the other rejected. Lewis's major works are explored at length in this book. Although much has been written about Lewis, Hofer's examination of the influence of worldview on his work is unique.
Weltraum wird Lebensraum: Eine Siedlung auf dem Mars
Deutsch | 2025 | ISBN: 3658467576 | 124 Pages | PDF (True) | 13 MB
Extremwetter, Überbevölkerung, Naturzerstörung: Zukunftsszenarien, die den Planeten Erde als unbewohnbar erscheinen lassen sind nicht länger nur noch Material für Science-Fiction-Romane. Welche Optionen bleiben der Menschheit, wenn sie sich ihrer eigenen Lebensgrundlage beraubt hat? Ist ein Szenario, in dem wir uns einen neuen Heimatplaneten erschließen, konkret umsetzbar oder ein reines Fantasiegespinst? In dem vorliegenden Buch geht es darum, den Mars auf seine Eignung für eine menschliche Besiedlung hin zu untersuchen. Insbesondere die ganz konkrete Frage, ob die Errichtung von Habitaten auf dem Mars möglich wäre, steht im Vordergrund. Um diese Frage zu beantworten, werden die geologischen wie auch die natürlichen Bedingungen analysiert und es wird aufgezeigt, welche Konsequenzen diese für etwaige Bauvorhaben auf dem Mars haben. Außerdem wird unter Bezug auf bereits erfolgte Experimente und Expeditionen erörtert, welche Eigenschaften ein Habitat erfüllen muss, damit der Mensch langfristig ein gutes Leben außerhalb der Erde führen kann. Die Überlegungen fließen zusammen in einem eigenen Entwurf einer Marskolonie, wie sie sich konkret umsetzen ließe. Das Buch bietet einen Überblick über die einschlägigen Überlegungen zu einer potentiellen Kolonisierung des Mars und eignet sich damit als lockerer Einstieg in dieses komplexe Thema. Anschauliche Illustrationen beflügeln die Fantasie und machen deutlich, dass die Besiedelung des Mars nicht nur eine Angelegenheit für Romanciers, sondern auch für Architekt:innen und andere Visionäre ist.
Joseph A Edelheit, "What Am I Missing?: Questions about Being Human"
English | ISBN: 1725259036 | 2020 | 120 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
"What Am I Missing?" Illuminates the difficult life lesson that everyone is missing something in their lives. This truth includes six significant characters of the Hebrew Bible: Abraham and Rachel; Moses and Miriam; and David and Esther. Using texts from the Hebrew Bible as our source of interpretation, we search for the meaning of 'what-is-missing' in each of them and ourselves. These challenges provoke questions that have no simple answers and stimulate us to reflect on being a human with purpose and hope today.
