Lars Jaeger begibt sich in diesem Buch auf eine spannende Spurensuche nach der Verbindung zweier scheinbar kontrarer Weltzugange - und die Ergebnisse sind eindrucksvoll: Naturwissenschaft und spirituelle Denktraditionen kennen weit mehr Gemeinsamkeiten, als ihre Gegensatze und Wesensunterschiede vermuten lassen.

Werden uns die Physiker irgendwann den Anfang der Welt erklaren? Werden wir eines Tages erfahren, wie aus dem Netzwerk von...

Evolving God: A Provocative View on the Origins of Religion, Expanded Edition
ISBN: 9780226360898 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Religion has been a central part of human experience since at least the dawn of recorded history. The gods change, as do the rituals, but the underlying desire remains--a desire to belong to something larger, greater, most lasting than our mortal, finite selves. But where did that desire come from? Can we explain its emergence through evolution? Yes, says biological anthropologist Barbara J. King--and doing so not only helps us to understand the religious imagination, but also reveals fascinating links to the lives and minds of our primate cousins. Evolving God draws on...

The history of the Islamic movement in Jordan displays glaring contrasts with its counterparts in other Islamic countries like Egypt, Iran and Syria. In a marked departure from the frequent and bloody confrontations that have characterized the relationship between the state and Islamic opposition in these countries, the Jordanian Muslim Brothers have been nonviolent, and often defended the state vis-a-vis the challenges of radical ideologies.

Dreaming of Eden: American Religion and Politics in a Wired World
ISBN: 9781349290772 / Angielski / Miękka / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve were tempted to take a bite out of an apple that promised them the "knowledge of good and evil." Today, a shiny apple with a bite out of it is the symbol of Apple Computers. The age of the Internet has speeded up human knowledge, and it also provides even more temptation to know more than may be good for us. Americans have been right at the forefront of the digital revolution, and we have felt its unsettling effects in both our religions and our politics. Susan Brooks Thistlethwaite argues that we long to return to the innocence of the Garden of Eden and...

Islam and Modernity in Turkey
ISBN: 9781349292332 / Angielski / Miękka / 269 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Islam and Modernity in Turkey addresses these questions through an ethnographic study of Islamic discourses and practices and their articulation with mass media in Turkey, against the background of late Ottoman and early Republican precedents. This ground-breaking book sheds new light on issues of...

Everyday Multiculturalism and 'Hidden' Hate
ISBN: 9781137532350 / Angielski / Twarda / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book examines the lived reality of 'everyday multiculturalism', and the ways that young people make sense of the diverse world around them. Currently we know very little about how multiculturalism shapes our lives, our interactions and our identity. This is especially pertinent for young people. How do young people from largely white, disadvantaged backgrounds interpret multiculturalism? How do they engage with people from 'different' minority ethnic and faith communities? How do they negotiate the challenges that arise within ever-diversifying environments?
