GET OUT. BEFORE THEY SAVE YOU. Early 1800s. Thomasina Trelora is on her way to the colonies. Her fate: to be married to a clergyman she's never met. As the Australian coastline comes into view a storm wrecks the ship and leaves her lying on the rocks, near death. She's saved by an Aboriginal man who carries her to the door of a grand European house, Willowbrae. Tom is now free to be whoever she wants to be and a whole new life opens up to her. But as she's drawn deeper into the intriguing life of this grand estate, she discovers that things aren't quite as they seem. She stumbles across a horrifying secret at the heart of this world of colonial decorum – and realises she may have exchanged one kind of prison for another. The Ripping Tree is an intense, sharp shiver of a novel, which brings to mind such diverse influences as The Turn of the Screw, Rebecca and the film Get Out as much as it evokes The Secret River. A powerful and gripping tale of survival written in Nikki Gemmell's signature lyrical and evocative prose, it examines the darkness at the heart of early colonisation. Unsettling, audacious, thrilling and unputdownable.

Many of these stories feature the small group of Horse Marines stationed at the American Legation in Peiping who patrolled the city streets and the surrounding Chinese countryside. Riding small, tough, Mongolian ponies and armed with their Model 1913 Patton sabers, these Horse Marines protected American missionaries and businessmen from bands of roving Chinese bandits.

Thomason, this book offers a unique perspective into the life of John R. Angstadt, one China Horse Marine.

Der Schwerpunkt dieses Buches liegt beim Umgang mit frühchristlichen, bzw. altkirchlichen und neutestamentlichen Apokryphen. Nicht zuletzt aufgrund der geschickten Vermarktung dieser Schriften in den Medien ist ein neuerwachtes Interesse an den Apokryphen in weiteren Kreisen der Öffentlichkeit zu verspüren. Was hingegen oft fehlt, ist eine solide Information, die auch den Kriterien der Wissenschaft Genüge tut. In diese Lücke stößt das vorliegende Werk vor, und zwar durch eine Serie von sieben Einzelfallstudien, die das Thema in gut lesbarer Form brennpunktartig bündeln. Den äußeren Rahmen geben die Gattungen von Schriften vor, die wir auch im Neuen Testament finden. Den Anfang macht daher die Beschäftigung mit Evangelien, die erst in den letzten sechs Jahrzehnten ans Tageslicht kamen und teils hohe Erwartungen wecken, nämlich das Judasevangelium, das Thomasevangelium und das Geheime Evangelium nach Markus. Es folgt eine Übersicht über die teils sehr erheiternden Tiergeschichten in den Apostelakten. Die Briefliteratur wird von der Korrespondenz zwischen Seneca und Paulus vertreten, deren Echtheit selbst heute noch ihre Verteidiger findet. Als Beispiele für Apokalypsen dienen zwei Werke, die dem Apostel Paulus zugeschrieben werden. Wenig bekannt und zu Unrecht vernachlässigt sind die Pseudo-Clementinen, in denen der Petrusschüler und spätere Papst Clemens I. unter anderem vom Wettkampf zwischen Simon Petrus und Simon Magus berichtet. Den Abschluß bildet eine längere thematische Abhandlung zur Vielgestaltigkeit der Figur des Erlösers Jesus Christus in frühchristlichen Schriften. Sie bietet eine erstaunliche Fülle von einschlägigem Material teils zum ersten Mal in ausführlicher Form dar.

***'An astonishing accomplishment that might be the most important book we ever read, it will change the way you look at what we eat forever.' - Dr Max Pemberton'A wonderfully written guide for anyone who wants to eat better and save the world at the same time. Essential reading for anyone who cares about the planet.' - Thomasina MiersHow changing what you eat can save the planetOur food production systems are the single biggest cause of environmental change, while diseases linked to our eating habits are at epidemic levels and increasing. Enough. uses the latest scientific research to address this vital question: can we provide a growing population with a healthy diet from sustainable food systems? Fortunately for us all, the answer is yes. Enough. shows exactly how we can tackle both of these urgent, interconnected challenges at the same time. Using a seminal piece of research published in 2019, the Planetary HealthDiet (PHD), Dr Coburn reveals the hidden consequences of our food choices, and how we can easily make changes which are better for ourselves and the planet. She details which food groups we should be eating, which we should avoid - and why. Changing our way of eating is something that every one of us has the power to do. Enough. is a clear, ultimately hopeful and hugely important roadmap for both own health - and the planet's.

In nahezu allen bekannten Liturgien der Alten Kirche ist die Taufeucharistie Ziel und Höhepunkt der Initiation. Und spätestens ab dem 2. Jahrhundert ist die Taufe die notwendige Bedingung für die Teilnahme an der Eucharistie und an den gemeindlichen Mählern. Dieser Befund setzt bestimmte Entwicklungen und Homogenisierungsprozesse in der Auffassung wie auch im rituellen Vollzug von Taufe und Herrenmahl voraus, die in den Taufgottesdiensten des 4. und 5. Jahrhunderts manifest werden. In der vorliegenden, exegetisch wie liturgiegeschichtlich angelegte Untersuchung rekonstruiert Hans-Ulrich Weidemann die Vorgeschichte dieser gegenseitigen Zuordnung von Taufe und Kultmahl auf dem Hintergrund der pluralen frühchristlichen Mahlpraxis. Im Zuge dessen werden die vorkonstantinischen Taufeucharistien, aber auch die komplexe Zuordnung von Taufe und Mahlgemeinschaft in den neutestamentlichen Texten untersucht.Zunächst wertet er die wichtigsten Quellen aus dem 2. und 3. Jh. aus: die Didache, das Zeugnis Justins, die apokryphen Petrus-, Paulus- und Thomasakten, die Pseudoclementinen, das Zeugnis Tertullians sowie die sogenannte Traditio Apostolica. Dabei wird der plurale Befund zur Taufeucharistie und zur postbaptismalen Mahlpraxis erhoben, und die Initiation mit den weiteren Angaben zur Mahl- und Eucharistiepraxis der jeweiligen Zeugnisse in Beziehung gesetzt. Im zweiten Teil analysiert er jene neutestamentlichen Textpassagen, in denen von postbaptismalen Mählern erzählt wird oder in denen Taufe und Eucharistie inhaltlich zueinander in Beziehung gesetzt werden: die Apostelgeschichte des Lukas, den ersten Korinther- und den Galaterbrief des Apostels Paulus sowie den Hebräerbrief.

One of the most influential intellectuals in the English-speaking world, Michael Ignatieff's story is generally understood to be that of an ambitious, accomplished progressive politician and writer, whose work and thought fit within an enlightened political tradition valuing human rights and diversity. Here, journalist Derrick O'Keefe argues otherwise. In this scrupulous assessment of Ignatieff's life and politics, he reveals that Ignatieff's human rights discourse has served to mask his identification with political and economic elites.Tracing the course of his career over the last thirty years, from his involvement with the battles between Thatcher and the coal miners in the 1980s to the Balkan Wars of the 1990s, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Israel's 2009 invasion of Gaza, O'Keefe proposes that Ignatieff and his political tradition have in fact stood in opposition to the extension of democracy and the pursuit of economic equality. Michael Ignatieff: The Lesser Evil? is a timely assessment of the Ignatieff phenomenon, and of what it tells us about the politics of the English-speaking West today. About the series: Counterblasts is a new Verso series that aims to revive the tradition of polemical writing inaugurated by Puritan and leveller pamphleteers in the seventeenth century, when in the words of one of them, Gerard Winstanley, the old world was "running up like parchment in the fire." From 1640 to 1663, a leading bookseller and publisher, George Thomason, recorded that his collection alone contained over twenty thousand pamphlets. Such polemics reappeared both before and during the French, Russian, Chinese and Cuban revolutions of the last century. In a period of conformity where politicians, media barons and their ideological hirelings rarely challenge the basis of existing society, it's time to revive the tradition. Verso's Counterblasts will challenge the apologists of Empire and Capital.

In Suburbs under Siege Charles Haar argues passionately that all people--rich or poor, black or white--have a constitutional right to live in the suburbs and that a socially responsible judiciary should vigorously uphold that right. For various reasons, American courts have generally failed to question local zoning regulations that trap the urban poor in the squalor of inner cities, away from decent housing and jobs in the suburbs. No U.S. Supreme Court case, for instance, has confronted exclusionary zoning rules, as Brown v. Board of Education once attacked school segregation. Instead, judges at all levels have most often reinforced the residential segregation that may well destroy American society. In this provocative book on the landmark Mount Laurel cases, Haar shows how the N.J. state judiciary broke out of this pattern of judicial behavior. These courageous, innovative judges attracted nationwide attention by challenging the forces of affluence that ruled the suburbs (and the legislature) of their state. Furthermore, they based their reasoning on the N.J. state constitution in order to protect their rulings from invalidation by the U.S. Supreme Court. In the early 1970s, when the cases began, the plaintiffs, Ethel Lawrence and her daughter Thomasene, were barely making ends meet in the Philadelphia suburb of Mount Laurel, a town where their African-American ancestors had lived for seven generations. The Lawrences' dream was to live in a Mount Laurel garden apartment planned by a grassroots reform group as affordable housing: in their way stood a typical minimum acreage zoning ordinance. The eventual court victory of the Lawrences and their young public interest attorneys inspired other N.J. suits and a process of remediation that continues to this day, as judges, experts (special masters), the state legislature, and other citizens work to carry out the Mount Laurel principles. Haar's book is a bold attack on conventional doctrines of the separation of powers limitations on the judicial branch and a plea that judges across the country assume their proper responsibilities for fair housing before it is too late. Originally published in 1996.
