The Fear of Invasion: Strategy, Politics, and British War Planning, 1880-1914
ISBN: 9780198805199 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Fear of Invasion presents a new interpretation of British preparation for War before 1914. It argues that protecting the British Isles from invasion was the foundation upon which all other plans for the defence of the Empire were built up. Home defence determined the amount of resources available for other tasks and the relative focus of the Army and Navy, as both played an important role in preventing an invasion. As politicians were reluctant to prepare for offensive British participation in a future war, home defence became the means by which the government contributed to an...

From its origins in the mid-seventeenth century visions of the French nun Margaret Mary Alacoque (1647-90) to its continuing employment in worship today, the Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus has been controversial.

Religion and Material Culture: The Matter of Belief
ISBN: 9780415481168 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 306 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Religious belief is rooted in and sustained by material practice, and this book provides an extraordinary insight into how it works on the ground. David Morgan has brought together a lively group of writers from religious studies, anthropology, history of art, and other disciplines, to investigate belief in everyday practices; in the objects, images, and spaces of religious devotion and in the sensations and feelings that are the medium of experience. By avoiding mind/body dualism, the study of religion can break new ground by examining embodiment, sensation, space, and performance. ...Religious belief is rooted in and sustained by material practice, and this book provides an extraordinary insight into how it works on the ground. ... |

The Forge of Vision: A Visual History of Modern Christianity
ISBN: 9780520286955 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 407 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Religions teach their adherents how to see and feel at the same time; learning to see is not a disembodied process but one hammered from the forge of human need, social relations, and material practice. David Morgan argues that the history of religions may therefore be studied through the lens of their salient visual themes. The Forge of Vision tells the history of Christianity from the sixteenth century through the present by selecting the visual themes of faith that have profoundly influenced its development. After exploring how distinctive Catholic and Protestant visual cultures...
