Education and Enmity (Routledge Revivals): The Control of Schooling in Northern Ireland 1920-50
ISBN: 9780415519908 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. First published in 1973 Professor Akenson's book traces the series of religious and political controversies which have battered the state schools of Northern Ireland. After the government's admirably intentioned, but muddled, attempt to create a non-sectarian school system in the early 1920s, the educational system was progressively manipulated by sectarianism. The way in which the author describes how children are schooled reveals a great deal about the attitudes and values of the parental generation and also helps to explain the actions of later generations.

A Mirror to Kathleen's Face : Education in Independent Ireland 1922-60
ISBN: 9780415519489 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. First published in 1975, Donald Akenson's book was at the forefront of a radically new approach to the study of Irish educational history. Instead of investigating the evolution of the schools as an isolated process, he explores the complex interrelations of Irish education, institutions and society, treating the schools as cultural litmus paper. By presenting Ireland's schools as a reflection of the society that produced them, Professor Akenson demonstrates that they are, in truth, "a mirror to the face of Kathleen ni Houlihan".

ISBN: 9780226010731 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 670 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Elegant and inventive, Surpassing Wonder uncovers how the ancient Hebrew scriptures, the Christian New Testament, and the Talmuds of the Rabbis are related and how, collectively, they make up the core of Western consciousness.

The assumption that Irish Protestants and Irish Catholics are fundamentally different is central to modern Irish history.

God's Peoples: Covenant and Land in South Africa, Israel, and Ulster: Volume 10
ISBN: 9780773509405 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. To see the Voortrekker monument in Pretoria is to recognize at once that it was built to humble the observer. With walls as thick as parts of the Maginot Line, and ambushments that would do credit to a medieval fortress, this South African national museum would serve equally as well as a defensive outpost. What mentality would create such an imposing structure? We can find the same outlook half a world away in the fortified homesteads that Ulster-Scots built to protect themselves against indigenous Catholics, and in the military settlements of West Bank Israeli farmers. Akenson first...

Saint Saul: A Skeleton Key to the Historical Jesus
ISBN: 9780195152388 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In Saint Saul, Donald Harman Akenson offers a lively and provocative account of what we can learn about Jesus by reading the letters of Paul. As the only direct evidence of Jesus we have that were composed before the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE forever altered the outlook of the Christian and Jewish faiths, Akenson claims that these letters are the most reliable source of information. He dismisses the traditional method of searching for facts about Jesus by looking for parallels among the four gospels because they were handed down to us as a unit by a later generation. Akenson...

Saint Saul: A Skeleton Key to the Historical Jesus
ISBN: 9780773523951 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this follow-up to his acclaimed Surpassing Wonder, Akenson recreates the world of Christ, a time rich with ideas, prophets, factions, priests, savants, and god-drunk fanatics. Saint Saul sheds light on Yeshua's birth and his relationship to his family, clarifies Yeshua's views on issues such as divorce and resurrection, and examines his sense of himself as Messiah. Throughout Saint Saul Akenson insistently stresses the Jewishness of Yeshua. He dismisses the traditional way of searching for facts about him by looking for parallels among the four gospels, arguing that the gospels were handed...

Some Family: The Mormons and How Humanity Keeps Track of Itself
ISBN: 9780773537279 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 349 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Using supporting evidence that runs from the Solomon Islands and classical China to ancient Ireland, Akenson argues that there are four basic genealogical forms. Highly significant on its own, this insight also provides the information needed to assess the Latter-day Saints' efforts to provide a single narrative of how humanity keeps track of itself. Appendices cover topics of vital interest to historians, genealogists, and ethnographers, such as the use and limits of genetic data in genealogy, the reality of false-paternity as a widespread phenomenon in genealogical lines, and the vexing...

Surpassing Wonder
ISBN: 9780773517813 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 672 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. With biting irreverence for denominational prejudices and the pretensions of academics, Akenson renews our sense of awe before these religious works. He challenges received doctrines, arguing that the ancient Jews were indeed idol worshippers and that Saint Paul did not believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth or in the virgin birth. With wit, elegance, and clarity Surpassing Wonder makes the ancient Hebrew scriptures, the Christian New Testament, and the Talmuds of the Rabbis accessible to all and shows they can be understood only in relation to each other and against their...

What Noam Chomsky did for political commentary, and Stephen Hawking did for cosmology, Donald Harman Akenson does for the Bible and its interpreters, and the resulting conclusions are just as astounding. Surpassing Wonder illuminates how the greatest cultural artifacts of our civilization are related to one another and constitute the very core of our consciousness.

Conor, Volume I: A Biography of Conor Cruise O'Brien: Volume I, Narrative
ISBN: 9780773512559 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 608 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The career of Conor Cruise O'Brien reads like the work of several people, not just one. Having served as a diplomat under Sean MacBride, he came to world prominence as special representative to Dag Hammarskjold, Secretary General of the United Nations, in the then-Congo. Squeezed ruthlessly by big-power politics, he resigned and wrote To Katanga and Back (1962), a classic in modern African history and still the only book to get behind the polished marble façade to reveal how the United Nations works. O'Brien then became Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ghana, and battled for academic...
