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: 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...

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...

Surpassing Wonder: The Invention of the Bible and the Talmuds
ISBN: 9780773522893 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 672 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. 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. 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...

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...

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...

ISBN: 9780773508583 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The assumption that Irish Protestants and Irish Catholics are fundamentally different is central to modern Irish history. There are hundreds of books and thousands of articles that either presuppose the existence of Irish Catholic-Protestant differences or amplify the theme by illustration and anecdote. Small Differences examines what scholars have so far taken for granted.

If the Irish Ran the World
ISBN: 9780773516861 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 273 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. What would have happened if the Irish had conquered and controlled a vast empire? Would they have been more humane rulers than the English? Using the Caribbean island of Montserrat as a case study of "Irish" imperialism, Donald Akenson addresses these questions and provides a detailed history of the island during its first century as a European colony. Akenson reveals that the Irish proved to be as effective and as unfeeling colonists as the English and the Scottish, despite the long history of oppression in Ireland. He debunks the myth of the "nice" slave holder and the view that indentured...

The Irish in Ontario: A Study in Rural History, Second Edition
ISBN: 9780773520295 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Akenson argues that, despite the popular conception of the Irish as a city people, those who settled in Ontario were primarily rural and small-town dwellers. Though it is often claimed that the experience of the Irish in their homeland precluded their successful settlement on the frontier in North America, Akenson's research proves that the Irish migrants to Ontario not only chose to live chiefly in the hinterlands, but that they did so with marked success. Akenson also suggests that by using Ontario as an "historical laboratory" it is possible to make valid assessments of the real...

At Face Value: The Life and Times of Eliza McCormack/John White
ISBN: 9780773509481 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In a parish register in Ireland, Akenson discovered a record naming an Eliza McCormack White as John's sister. Employing imaginative reconstruction, he proposes that Eliza McCormack, a transvestite prostitute who was in central Canada at the time John White arrived on the Canadian scene, was actually John's sister. Further, he suggests that John White can be best understood by recognizing that he was in fact Eliza!

Education and Enmity : The Control of Schooling in Northern Ireland 1920-50
ISBN: 9780415519472 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 290 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.
