Free Download What Pornography Knows: Sex and Social Protest since the Eighteenth Century by Kathleen Lubey
English | September 13, 2022 | ISBN: 1503611663, 150363311X | True EPUB | 312 pages | 31.4 MB
What Pornography Knows offers a new history of pornography based on forgotten bawdy fiction of the eighteenth century, its nineteenth-century republication, and its appearance in 1960s paperbacks. Through close textual study, Lubey shows how these texts were edited across time to become what we think pornography is―a genre focused primarily on sex. Originally, they were far more variable, joining speculative philosophy and feminist theory to sexual description.

Free Download What Mary Means to Christians: An Ancient Tradition Explained By Peter Stravinskas
2012 | 102 Pages | ISBN: 0809147440 | EPUB | 1 MB
Do Catholics actually worship Mary? What exactly is her role in Catholic Spirituality? How do Catholics justify their beliefs, some of which don't seem to have biblical attestation? In What Mary Means to Christians, theologian Peter Stravinskas provides concise but extremely thorough explanations of every aspect of the Marian tradition, including some interesting facts that Catholics themselves might not be aware of. Written not only for Catholics, but for non-Catholics who want an objective explanation of Mariological beliefs, this invaluable resource for both lay people and clergy explains how the ancient tradition of devotion to the Blessed Mother is not just proper to Catholicism, but to the entire Christian tradition as a whole.

Free Download We Have Found Mercy: The Mystery of God's Merciful Love By Christoph Schönborn; Hubert Philipp Weber; Michael J. Miller
2012 | 160 Pages | ISBN: 1586174150 | EPUB | 1 MB
Sister Faustina Kowalska, the Polish nun who had mystical encounters with the merciful Christ in the early 20th century, was canonized a saint by Pope John Paul II. The Pope also declared the first Sunday after Easter to be Divine Mercy Sunday, and it was during the vigil Mass of this feast that the Holy Father received his last Holy Communion and drew his last breath. The message of Divine Mercy as communicated through Sister Faustina is both a starting point and a recurring theme for Cardinal Schonborn's discussion of God's merciful love. The Archbishop of Vienna explores the presence of God's great mercy in the Scriptures, Tradition, the life of Christ, and the sacraments and works of the Church, while raising important questions along the way, such as, What is the relationship between mercy and justice? Mercy is the central nucleus of the Gospel message. In our time humanity needs a strong proclamation and witness of God's mercy . . . Go forth and be witnesses of God's mercy, a source of hope for every person and for the whole world. -- Pope Benedict XVI

Free Download Wartime North Africa: A Documentary History, 1934-1950 edited by Aomar Boum, Sarah Abrevaya Stein
English | July 5, 2022 | ISBN: 1503611515, 1503631990 | True EPUB/PDF | 384 pages | 12.7/11.9 MB
This book, the first-ever collection of primary documents on North African history and the Holocaust, gives voice to the diversity of those involved-Muslims, Christians, and Jews; women, men, and children; black, brown, and white; the unknown and the notable; locals, refugees, the displaced, and the interned; soldiers, officers, bureaucrats, volunteer fighters, and the forcibly recruited. At times their calls are lofty, full of spiritual lamentation and political outrage. At others, they are humble, yearning for medicine, a cigarette, or a pair of shoes.

Free Download Violent America: The Dynamics of Identity Politics in a Multiracial Society by Ariane Chebel d'Appollonia
English | February 15, 2023 | ISBN: 1501767550, 1501767569 | True EPUB | 282 pages | 4.3 MB
In Violent America, Ariane Chebel d'Appollonia counterintuitively analyzes why and how various ethnoracial groups proactively and instrumentally use different forms of violence to achieve their goals. Combining a historical analysis spanning the centuries with an examination of contemporary problems, she considers how and why ethnoracial groups can be both perpetrators and victims of violence, why some minority groups react differently to violence in comparable situations, and what the consequences are today for politics in both America and Europe.

Free Download Values of American Society: Manuscripts from the American Society Project I By Talcott Parsons, Winston White, Victor Lidz (editor), Helmut Staubmann (editor)
2016 | 311 Pages | ISBN: 3643907788 | PDF | 4 MB
The material in Values of American Society remains the principal resource for understanding Parsons' conception of value systems. His treatment of value systems has been much debated, although poorly understood, in considerable part because Parsons never published his full conception, developed only in these manuscripts. They continue to hold interest for social scientists, both for their carefully developed analytical scheme and for the resulting discussion of American culture and society.

Free Download Vaccination (Great Discoveries in Science) by Erik Richardson
English | April 9th, 2018 | ISBN: 1502627809 | 128 pages | True EPUB | 10.91 MB
Contemporary vaccination is rooted in centuries of scientific discovery. Some scholars believe that as far back as 1000 CE, Chinese Taoists used variolation (or inoculation) to control the spread of disease. In 1796, Edward Jenner developed a smallpox vaccine that ranks as one of the most important scientific breakthroughs of all time. This book explains how Jenner made his discovery based on the achievements of those who came before him, how vaccination works, and the many ways that vaccines continue to shape science (and generate controversy) today.

Free Download Koichi Koizumi, "Urban Refugees: Challenges in Protection, Services and Policy"
English | 2018 | pages: 295 | ISBN: 1138546445, 1138839809 | PDF | 3,6 mb
Urban refugees now account for over half the total number of refugees worldwide. Yet to date, far more research has been done on refugees living in camps and settlements set up expressly for them. This book provides crucial insights into the worldwide phenomenon of refugee flows into urban settings, repercussions for those seeking protection, and the agencies and organizations tasked to assist them. It provides a comparative exploration of refugees and asylum seekers in nine urban areas in Africa, Asia and Europe to examine issues such as status recognition, international and national actors, housing, education and integration. The book explores the relationship between refugee policies of international organisations and national governments and on the ground realities and demonstrates both the diverse of circumstances in which refugees live, and their struggle for recognition, protection and livelihoods.
