Victorian Visions of Global Order: Empire and International

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bell, Duncan, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, This wide-ranging and original study provides an insight into the climate of political thought during the lifespan of what was, at this time, the most powerful empire in history. A distinguished group of contributors explores the way in which thinkers in Britain theorised influential views about empire and international relations, exploring topics such as the evolution of international law; the ways in which the world was notionally divided into the 'civilised' and the 'barbarian'; the role of India in shaping visions of civil society; grandiose ideas about a global imperial state; the development of an array of radical critiques of empire; the varieties of liberal imperialism; and the rise and fall of free trade. Together, the chapters form an analysis of political thought in this context; both of the famous (Bentham, Mill, Marx, and Hobson) and of those who, whilst influential at the time, are all but forgotten today.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Morphy, Howard, PUBLISHER: UNSW Press, "Becoming Art" provides a new analysis of the shifting cultural and social contexts that surround the production of Aboriginal art. Transcending the boundaries between anthropology and art history, the book draws on arguments from both disciplines to provide a unique interdisciplinary perspective that places the artists themselves at the centre of the argument. Western art history has traditionally regarded Aboriginal art as distanced from time and place. "Becoming Art" uses the recent history of Aboriginal art to challenge some of the presuppositions of western art discourse and western art worlds. It argues for a more cross-cultural perspective on world art history.

The Moral Dynamics of Economic Life: An Extension and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Finn, Daniel K., PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, Caritas in veritate (Charity in Truth) is the ''social'' encyclical of Pope Benedict XVI, one of many papal encyclicals over the last 120 years that address economic life. This volume, based on discussions at a symposium co-sponsored by the Institute for Advanced Catholic Studies and the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, analyzes the situation of the Church and the theological basis for Benedict's thinking about the person, community, and the globalized economy. The Moral Dynamics of Economic Life engages Benedict's analysis of ''relation, '' the characteristics of contemporary social and economic relationships and the implications of a relational, Trinitarian God for daily human life. Crucial here is the Pope's notion of ''reciprocity, '' an economic relationship characterized by help freely given, but which forms an expectation that the recipient will ''reciprocate, '' either to the donor or, often, to someone else. This ''logic of gift, '' Benedict argues, should influence daily economic life, especially within what he calls ''hybrid'' firms, which make a profit and invest a share of that profit in service to needs outside the firm. Similarly, development - whether of an individual or of a nation - must be integral, neither simply economic nor personal nor psychological nor spiritual, but a comprehensive development that engages all dimensions of a flourishing human life. The essays, written by social scientists, theologians, policy analysts and others, engage, extend, and critique Benedict's views on these issues, as well as his call for deeper dialogue and a morally based transformation of social and economic structures.

Art and Soul

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: McConeghy, Howard / Moore, Thomas, PUBLISHER: Spring, Internationally known artist Howard McConeghey argues that perception is the very essence of life and making art our most elegant and accessible expression of it. Freeing us from the paralysis of traditional art "training, " he breaks the chains of modernism and its constrictive "eye, " allowing anyone--be they an artist, an art therapist, or simply a soul-searcher--to find beauty and create it. McConeghey builds a psychological case for art as a universal healer. Lushly illustrating his book with reproductions of paintings and drawings from art history's classics to those in art therapy, McConeghey does what only a great master can do: he delivers complex material on a silver platter, making it a pleasure to read and a joy to experience.

Using a Cognitive Linguistics framework, the author focuses on how his daughter acquired her first verbs, and the role verbs played in her early grammatical development.
