The origin of the Memons as a community dates back to 1454 AD corresponding to 824 AH, when some 700 Hindu families, representing some 6178 people belonging to the old and famous Lohanas community of Sindh, now part of Pakistan accepted Islam.

Time Frames and Taboo Data: A History of Mankind's Misdirected Beliefs
ISBN: 9780595399864 / Angielski / Miękka / 500 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. History is sometimes regarded as impractical in this day and age, even though the realities we face are too often the outgrowth of manipulated interpretations of past events. Societies find this acceptable because just enough truth is incorporated into the accounts to disguise the myths that are being promoted; however, many important facts are omitted. This is especially true when a chronicler pretends to record "spiritual" objectives or guidance. There is always a measure of the unknown in "any" record, but it is predominant in "faith" accounts. If large portions of history are covered with...

It offers a sustained articulation of Niebuhr's theological ethics and is considered a landmark in twentieth-century thought.

Four Cultures of the West
ISBN: 9780674021037 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The workings of Western intelligence in our day--whether in politics or the arts, in the humanities or the church--are as troubling as they are mysterious, leading to the questions: Where are we going? What in the world were we thinking? By exploring the history of four "cultures" so deeply embedded in Western history that we rarely see their instrumental role in politics, religion, education, and the arts, this timely book provides a broad framework for addressing these questions in a fresh way. The cultures considered here originated in the ancient world, took on Christian forms,...

As the human race approaches the 21st century, questions of our past trouble us as much as those that concern our future. How did we get here? Where--and how--did Homo sapiens originate? How did we, precariously bipedal, come to dominate the animal kingdom, direct the flow of the Euphrates, fly a rocket to the moon? David Fromkin, author of A Peace to End All Peace and finalist for both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critic Circle... "Ambitious....

Melusine The Serpent Goddess in A. S. Byatt's Possession and in Mythology
ISBN: 9780739104712 / Angielski / Twarda / 307 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Gillian Alban meticulously pursues the Fairy Melusine snake-woman image through the plot and the poetry of A. S. Byatt's novel Possession, into medieval legend, and beyond into her antecedents in ancient myth. The book describes the erotically inspiring force of Melusine's love story and draws parallels with goddesses such as Lamia, Ishtar or Inanna, Isis, and Asherah. Mother, creator, and leader, the figure of Melusine was ultimately vilified and tellingly converted into the demon of patriarchal accounts, as seen in the examples of Lilith, Medusa, Scylla, and the serpent in the Garden. Alban...

Hypermodern Times
ISBN: 9780745634203 / Angielski / Twarda / 150 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The term 'postmodernity' has been used to describe that historical transformation of the late 20th century when the institutional breaks holding back individual emancipation disintegrated, thereby giving rise to the full expression of individual desires and the quest for self-fulfilment. But there are now signs - argues Gilles Lipovetsky, one of the most original social thinkers in France today - that we've entered a new phase of 'hypermodernity', characterized by hyper-consumption and the hypermodern individual.
Hyperconsumption is a consumption which absorbs and integrates more... The term 'postmodernity' has been used to describe that historical transformation of the late 20th century when the institutional breaks holding back ...
