ref. B9780739181959Paperback / softback. New. The American-Jewish philosopher Berel Lang has left an indelible impression on an unusually broad range of fields that few scholars can rival. From his earliest innovations in philosophy and meta-philosophy to his ground-breaking work on representation historical writing and art after Auschwitz he has contributed original and penetrating insights to the philosophical literary and historical debates on ethics art and the representation of the Nazi Genocide. In honor of Berel Lang's five decades of scholarly and philosophical contributions the editors of Ethics Art and Representations of the Holocaust invited seventeen eminent scholars from around the world to discuss Lang's impact on their own research and to reflect on how the Nazi genocide continues to resonate in contemporary debates about antisemitism commemoration and poetic representations. Resisting what Alvin Rosenfeld warned as "the end of the Holocaust" the essays in this collection signal the Holocaust as an event without closure of enduring resonance to new generations of scholars of genocide Jewish studies and philosophy. Readers will find original and provocative essays on topics as diverse as Nietzsche's reputed Nazi leanings Jewish anti-apartheid activists in South Africa wartime rescue in Poland philosophical responses to the Holocaust hidden diaries in the Kovno Ghetto and analyses of reactions to trauma in classic literary works by Bernhard Schlink Sylvia Plath and Derek Walcott. paperback

ref. B9780755601325Paperback / softback. New. 'Two Romes have fallen. The third stands. And there will be no fourth.' So spoke Russian monk Hegumen Filofei of Pskov in 1510 proclaiming Muscovite Russia as heirs to the legacy of the Roman Empire following the collapse of the Byzantine Empire. The so-called 'Third Rome Doctrine' spurred the creation of the Russian Orthodox Church although just a century later a further schism occurred with the Old Believers or 'Old Ritualists' challenging Patriarch Nikon's liturgical and ritualistic reforms and laying their own claim to the mantle of Roman legacy. While scholars have commonly painted the subsequent history of the Old Believers as one of survival in the face of persistent persecution at the hands of both tsarist and church authorities Peter De Simone here offers a more nuanced picture. Based on research into extensive yet mostly unknown archival materials in Moscow he shows the Old Believers as versatile and opportunistic and demonstrates that they actively engaged with and even challenged the very notion of the spiritual and ideological place of Moscow in Imperial Russia.Ranging in scope from Peter the Great to Lenin this book will be of use to all scholars of Russian and Orthodox Church history. paperback

"Volume One contains 524 recipes for the savory delights of French cuisine from historic Gallic masterpieces to the seemingly artless perfection of a dish of spring-green peas.

ref. A9780226595795Paperback / softback. New. Following the launch of Sputnik the North Atlantic Treaty Organization became a prominent sponsor of scientific research in its member countries a role it retained until the end of the Cold War. As NATO marks sixty years since the establishment of its Science Committee the main organizational force promoting its science programs Greening the Alliance is the first book to chart NATO's scientific patronage--and the motivations behind it--from the organization's early days to the dawn of the twenty-first century. Drawing on previously unseen documents from NATO's own archives Simone Turchetti reveals how its investments were rooted in the alliance's defense and surveillance needs needs that led it to establish a program prioritizing environmental studies. A long-overlooked and effective diplomacy exercise NATO's "greening" at one point constituted the organization's chief conduit for negotiating problematic relations between allies. But while Greening the Alliance explores this surprising coevolution of environmental monitoring and surveillance tales of science advisers issuing instructions to bomb oil spills with napalm or Dr. Strangelove-like experts eager to divert the path of hurricanes with atomic weapons make it clear: the coexistence of these forces has not always been harmonious. Reflecting on this rich complicated legacy in light of contemporary global challenges like climate change Turchetti offers both an eye-opening history of international politics and environmental studies and a thoughtful assessment of NATO's future. paperback
