Nicholas Henshall, "The Myth of Absolutism: Change and Continuity in Early Modern European Monarchy"
English | 2013 | pages: 256 | ISBN: 0582056187, 1138180505 | PDF | 14,9 mb
Conventionally, ``absolutism'' in early-modern Europe has suggested unfettered autocracy and despotism - the erosion of rights, the centralisation of decision-making, the loss of liberty. Everything, in a word, that was un-British but characteristic of ancien-regime France. Recently historians have questioned such comfortably simplistic views. This lively investigation of ``absolutism'' in action - continent-wide but centred on a detailed comparison of France and England - dissolves the traditional picture to reveal a much more complex reality; and in so doing illuminates the varied ways in which early-modern Europe was governed.

The Great Controversy: The Individuals Struggle Between Good and Evil in the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs and in their Jewish and Christian Contexts By Tom de Bruin
2015 | 264 Pages | ISBN: 3525540353 | PDF | 2 MB
The Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs (T12P), one of the longest texts of the so-called Old Testament Pseudepigrapha, presents the fictitious farewell speeches that the twelve sons of Jacob held on their respective deathbeds. Tom de Bruin examines these twelve monologues as literary products in order to understand the function of the text for the setting in which it was composed. He approaches T12P from three directions: an analysis of the paraenetic parts, a discussion of the anthropology, and a comparative examination of other contemporaneous works documenting a world-view similar to T12P. These three approaches merge into a detailed discussion about the reasoning behind the admonition in T12P, and identifies the fundamental message of the text, namely that each person stands between the forces of good and evil and that this person is called to constantly decide which way to follow. Though T12P is still familiar with the apocalyptic origin and plays with the cosmological implications of this 'great controversy', the text clearly puts the emphasis on the battle inside each individual. It is thereby an important witness for reinterpreting and reapplying apocalyptic traditions through ethicizing them and focusing on the individual. Such an individualistic application of the 'great controversy' theme can be found in a number of other (mostly Christian) works, revealing a similar understanding of mankinds existence and development as in T12P. The analysis of the ethical reappropriation of apocalyptic traditions in T12P provides important insights into the foundations of early Christian ethics, ancient anthropology, and the Jewish and Christian understanding of the struggle between good and evil.

The 15 Minute Back Pain and Neck Pain Management Program: Back Pain and Neck Pain Treatment and Relief 15 Minutes a Day No Surgery No Drugs. Effective, Quick and Lasting Back and Neck Pain Relief. by John McArthur
English | February 18, 2014 | ISBN: 1495308022 | 232 pages | EPUB | 0.72 Mb
An orthopedic surgeon in Plano, Texas, who has performed thousands of spine surgeries, says: "If you're currently experiencing back pain, and you're thinking about having surgery to solve the problem, think again. If you can recover from back pain without surgery, you're much better off, surgery can have unforeseen complications, from infections to nerve damage." More than 250,000 back and neck operations are performed each year. The immediate question is; how successful are these operations? * The Cochrane Collaboration, an international network of health-science researchers, that review clinical trials, says: "the scientific evidence for most ack surgical procedures is unclear." * Studies have confirmed that whether or not a person undergoes back surgery, four (4) years later the outcome is the same with or without surgery. Back and neck pain is the second leading cause for doctor visits in the United States; in fact it is the leading cause of disability for people under the age of 45, and lower back pain is the third most common reason for surgery. A spokesperson for the American Chiropractic Association says: "45% of those folks will have repeated back attacks." The worrying aspect is that most people are not even aware of the things that they do that are causing this enormous medical problem. Posture and symmetry are the most crucial elements in recovery and one of the most commonly overlooked issues in the diagnosis of pain's root causes and it is sad that so few people (including doctors) don't even know it or recognize it. Yet it could cure up to 80% or more of all back and neck pain problems. It has been proven that proper stretching and exercise routines, when done consistently, is the most permanent cure for chronic back pain and neck pain. A Quick Glance at the Contents 1.
