Book Description
Et si une chronique de l'histoire des hommes avait ete tenue depuis l'aube de l'humanite, et transmise de generation en generation par une lignee ininterrompue de pretres et de souverains ? Apparus au grand jour au debut du XXe s., une somme enorme de documents conserves par la famille Takenouchi, une des plus anciennes du Japon, nous revelent l'existence d'une civilisation repandue mondialement aux temps prehistoriques, eclairant d'un jour nouveau les mysteres de l'architecture megalithique et des pyramides, de l'Atlantide et de Mu, du deluge et des mythologies, remontant jusqu'aux origines meme de l'humanite, aussi fantastique soient elles. Avec une approche humaniste et prosaique, l'auteur s'est efforce de demontrer l'authenticite de ces documents controverses dans un ouvrage richement illustre. Loin de l'instrumentalisation dont ils ont pu faire l'objet aux temps troubles du siecle dernier, ils sont porteurs de profondes valeurs spirituelles de nature a redonner espoir en l'avenir de l'humanite.

Book Description
"This book is the outcome of the conference held in Caen (France) in September 1997, in preparation for the International Economic History Congress in Madrid (August 1998). This collection of essays provides, for the first time, a systematic overview of the productivity missions organised in the years following the Second World War, to investigate in situ the production and management techniques adduced to account for the American lead. Bringing together research workers from many countries (Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the United States), the volume addresses four successive themes. The first one concerns the part played by the United States and that country's action on the international scene. This, in turn, leads to the subsequent query: Did the productivity missions constitute tools for modernisation, or were they devices of domination? The second part considers three national experiences: the United Kingdom, France, and Japan. The third part examines a number of branches: iron and steel, electrical engineering, petrochemicals, and the tyre industry. The final part seeks to assess the impact of the missions. Ultimately, one needs must make a distinction between the rhetoric of productivity, on the one hand, and actual achievements, on the other; the missions were part of a wider process of Americanisation, wherein lies one of the keys to the economic miracles of the post-war era."--Page 4 of cover.

Book Description
The present debate on the so-called "Deuteronomistic History" has become quite confusing and in recent years more and more scholars are inclined to deny the existence of a Deuteronomistic History as elaborated by Martin Noth or at least to modify this thesis radically. The contributions in this volume reflect the present state of discussion about the Deuteronomistic History. With one exception they have all been presented and discussed in three special sessions dedicated to "Deuteronomism" during the SBL International Meeting in Lausanne (July 1997). Three topics were treated: "The Future of the Deuteronomistic History", "Identity and Literary Strategies of the Deuteronomists", "Deuteronomism and the Hebrew Bible". The contributors are: R. Albertz, A.G. Auld, M. Bauks, W. Dietrich, D. Edelman, F. Garcia Lopez, E.A. Knauf, G. Knoppers, S.K. McKenzie, C. Nihan, T.C. Romer, N.H. Rosel, J. Van Seters and J. Vermeylen. Each contribution offers a valuable entry into one of the most important discussions of Old Testament scholarship at the end of the twentieth century.

Book Description
The intent behind this book is to provide grist for the mill for research students and other interested readers. Chapter one, by author Allan Savage, presents an understanding of the social construction of religious activity, which maintains that social construction of religion arises from a dialectical engagement within the world from a phenomenological philosophical point of view. Co-author Peter Stuart presents a classical and traditional point of view, and readers expecting academic accord between the authors will be disappointed. A further rationale for writing this book is that both Savage and Stuart desire to express their personal convictions in the public forum. Both have interests in the ebb and flow of civilization, especially as it pertains to the place of faith, religion, politics, and a variety of social phenomena, including economics, culture, gender, ethnicity, and the family, as well as the ebb and flow of money, power, property, and prestige, as articulated throughout history. They believe that writing about the place of faith and religion in French Canada is crucial if one is to understand the place that this keystone civilization occupies within confederation and its enduring ambivalence regarding its belonging, or not, to Canada.

Book Description
Le terme identité s'inscrit dans un réseau lexical complexe et connaît une telle diversité d'emplois qu'il est difficile de le cerner. Il présente par ailleurs des sens techniques différents selon les disciplines, et la recherche de ce concept dans les dictionnaires des Sciences du langage s'avère peu satisfaisante. Le présent ouvrage, issu du colloque « Construction d'identité et processus d'identification » (organisé à l'Université François Rabelais, Tours en novembre 2007) reprend une partie revue et corrigée après relecture anonyme des communications orales de ce colloque. Il tient sa singularité de ce que l'identité y est considérée non comme catégorie de langue ou de discours ou encore comme indice d'une appartenance socioculturelle mais plutôt comme un construit et l'identification comme une construction à part entière. La question se pose alors de savoir de quoi est construite l'identité et comment ? Les contributeurs à ce volume, sous des angles différents, tentent de répondre à ces questions, en analysant les différents processus langagiers qui concourent à sa construction.

Book Description
For the majority of scholars, the Animal Apocalypse is a militant text, a piece of pro-Maccabean propaganda. This text, however, develops theological reflections that are distinctly different from a justification of an armed struggle. Its themes are even incompatible with the Maccabean movement. It is impossible to condemn the Second Temple and, at the same time, mobilise people for a fight in order to purify that very Temple. After dealing with text-critical issues, this work challenges the thesis that the text is military propaganda through the use of narrative and historical approaches. The analyses, besides proposing a new way of a studying an apocalypse, spell out the peculiarity and the significance of the theology of the Animal Apocalypse in connection with the biblical history of Israel and the theology of the Qumran community.
