Book Description
In The Mystery and the World, Maria Clara Bingemer explores how the place of religion in society has dramatically shifted since the Enlightenment. The modern era is characterised by a major change in humanity's fundamental desires that means that reason has taken the place of faith. Human beings, in their ongoing search for a scientific understanding of the world, have drifted away from seeking any essence of transcendence in their lives. Bingemer examines this transition and how, especially inthe postmodern era, it has led to technology and superficial happiness becoming all-important as opposed to the more sacred sense of contentment that governed us for centuries prior to the Enlightenment. In her discussion, however, Bingemer demonstrates that we as humans have not lost our innate desire to believe in a higher power and that, even in our world of instant satisfaction, we still need to fill the void left by religion. Through well-researched analysis of the modern era and discussion of some of the mystics of more recent times, she reveals to readers how our religious belief, whilst changed, is not dead and is still an important aspect of our existence.

Book Description
What is the place of religion in modern political systems? This volume addresses that question by focusing on ten countries across several geographic areas: Western and East-Central Europe, North America, the Middle East and South Asia. These countries are comparable in the sense that they are committed to constitutional rule, have embraced a more or less secular culture, and have formal guarantees of freedom of religion. Yet in all the cases examined here religion impinges on the political system in the form of legal establishment, semi-legitimation, subvention, and/or selective institutional arrangements and its role is reflected in cultural norms, electoral behaviour and public policies. The relationship between religion and politics comes in many varieties in differing countries, yet all are faced with three major challenges: modernity, democracy and the increasingly multi-ethnic and multi-religious nature of their societies.

Book Description
Cuando creíamos conocer las respuestas, nos cambian la pregunta. Es lo que ocurre en toda mutación cultural importante, como la que nos toca vivir. Inmersos en una transformación religiosa sin precedentes, constatamos a diario que mucho de lo recibido ya no nos sirve, pero nos cuesta percibir hacia dónde vamos. Los síntomas del cambio resultan cada vez más notorios, pero necesitamos ahondar en las claves que nos permitan comprenderlo en profundidad. ¿Cómo explicar el fenómeno paradójico de la creciente búsqueda espiritual y el imparable declive de la religión institucional? Sin negar el influjo de la secularización y de la (post)-modernidad, el autor plantea una hipótesis de más hondo calado: estamos ante un cambio de época, caracterizado por una transformación de la conciencia. Ese paso de una conciencia mental-egoica a otra transpersonal, revoluciona no sólo nuestras respuestas habituales a las preguntas de siempre, sino las mismas preguntas. ¿En qué consiste exactamente ese cambio de conciencia? ¿Cómo se plantea en él la pregunta sobre Dios y la salvación? ¿Cuál será el lugar y el papel de las religiones en esta nueva situación? ¿Qué sentido tiene una espiritualidad post-religiosa? Sólo avanzando en la respuesta a estas cuestiones, podremos salir al paso y dar cauce a la búsqueda espiritual de nuestros contemporáneos. Enrique Martínez Lozano (Guadalaviar, Teruel, 1950), es psicoterapeuta, sociólogo y teólogo. Tiene el don de articular psicología y espiritualidad de un modo sencillo, a la vez que profundo y eficaz, potenciando el crecimiento personal y la experiencia de la más genuina espiritualidad, desde la atención a nuestro peculiar momento de transformación cultural.

Book Description
El siglo XXI se está convirtiendo en una época de la religión. Dios regresa, y lo hace con poder –en el doble sentido de la palabra: no sólo como categoría filosófica, tradición revitalizadora, convicción teológica o fuerza espiritual, sino que entra también en medio del ámbito político–. Este polémico escrito defiende la tesis de que el proceso de secularización se va a invertir. Vamos de la época posmoderna a la época neorreligiosa. Lo cual, en contra de algunos oscuros pronósticos, no tiene por qué ser malo. La vuelta de lo religioso podría forzar un renacimiento cultural de Occidente. Tras décadas de regresión cultural, infantilización y pérdida de la conciencia histórica, con la religión vuelve a entrar en juego el factor más poderoso contra el relativismo y el pesimismo cultural. La sociedad no se encuentra, por tanto, ante el desmoronamiento demográfico y cultural, sino en los inicios de un nuevo auge. WOLFRAM WEIMER (1964) es desde 2004 Redactor Jefe de la revista política Cicero, fundada por él. Antes trabajó en puestos directivos en grandes periódicos alemanes, últimamente como Redactor Jefe de Die Welt. Su labor le valió ser distinguido con numerosos premios, entre ellos, en 2002 el “World Newspaper Award”, y en 2004 el de “Periodista del año”.

Book Description
This volume covers the language situation in Ecuador, Mexico and Paraguay, explaining the linguistic diversity, the historical and political contexts and the current language situation, including language-in-education planning, the role of the media, the role of religion, and the roles of indigenous and non-indigenous languages. The authors are indigenous and/or have been participants in the language-planning context. This volume contains monographs on Ecuador, Mexico and Paraguay, countries which are not well represented in the recent international language policy and planning literature, and draws together the existing published research in this field. The purpose of the area volumes in this series is to present up-to-date information on polities, particularly those that are not well known to researchers in the field, thereby providing descriptions of language planning and policy in countries around the world.

Book Description
SPEAK SOME SPANISH is ideal for an informal class or for self-study. It provides a solid grammatical foundation within a useful context, extensive vocabulary, much presented in a unique way, and avenues for developing communication skills. While grammar is explained throughout, the book is designed around communication needs, language usage, useful topics, such as greetings, coping in a conversation, weather, telling time, directions, descriptions, and ways to speak of past, present, and future actions. Verbs, often a source of dismay for language learners, are presented in a unique way. Their mastery is made much simpler; no longer is there the challenge or tedium of memorizing conjugations. Following the regular chapters are nine EXTRA sections covering verb charts for and additional uses of the present subjunctive as well as other important verb forms, tenses, and their uses that are not covered in the chapters: commands; the two simple past tenses - the imperfect (indicative) and the preterite - their forms, their uses, and their use together; and the future (indicative.) These sections are for reference for anyone wishing to expand the SOME of the book title, SPEAK SOME SPANISH. The book concludes with present indicative verb charts and vocabularies.
