Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In this succinct yet ample work, Zhao Tingyang, one of China's most distinguished intellectuals, provides a profoundly original philosophical interpretation of China's story and also develops a Chinese worldview for the future. Over the past few decades, the question Where did China come from… has absorbed the thoughts of many of China's best historians. Zhao, keenly aware of the persistent and pernicious asymmetry in the prevailing way scholars have gone about theorizing China according to Western concepts and categories, has tasked both Chinese and Western scholars to 'rethink China.' Zhao introduces what he terms a distinctively Chinese centripetal 'whirlpool' model of world order to interpret the historical progression of China's tianxia (All under Heaven) identity construction. In this book, Zhao forwards a compelling thesis not only on how we should understand China, but also on how China until recently has understood itself.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Challenging widespread assumptions that persons who are preferentially attracted to minors--often referred to as 'pedophiles'--are necessarily also predators and sex offenders, this book takes readers into the lives of non-offending minor-attracted persons (MAPs). There is little research int…o non-offending MAPs, a group whose experiences offer valuable insights into the prevention of child abuse. Navigating guilt, shame, and fear, this universally maligned group demonstrates remarkable resilience and commitment to living without offending and to supporting and educating others. Using data from interview-based research, A Long, Dark Shadow offers a crucial account of the lived experiences of this hidden population.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Police Visibility presents empirically grounded research into how police officers experience and manage the information politics of surveillance and visibility generated by the introduction of body cameras into their daily routines and the increasingly common experience of being recorded by c…ivilian bystanders. Newell elucidates how these activities intersect with privacy, free speech, and access to information law and argues that rather than being emancipatory systems of police oversight, body-worn cameras are an evolution in police image work and state surveillance expansion. Throughout the book, he catalogs how surveillance generates information, the control of which creates and facilitates power and potentially fuels state domination. The antidote, he argues, is robust information law and policy that puts the power to monitor and regulate the police squarely in the hands of citizens.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Energy Islands provides an urgent and nuanced portrait of collective action that resists racial capitalism, colonialism, and climate disruption. Weaving together historical and ethnographic research, this story challenges the master narratives of Puerto Rico as a tourist destination and site…of 'natural' disasters to demonstrate how fossil fuel economies are inextricably entwined with colonial practices and how local community groups in Puerto Rico have struggled against energy coloniality to mobilize and transform power from the ground up.Catalina M. de Onís documents how these groups work to decenter continental contexts and deconstruct damaging hierarchies that devalue and exploit rural coastal communities. She highlights and collaborates with individuals who refuse the cruel logics of empire by imagining and implementing energy justice and other interconnected radical power transformations. Diving deeply into energy, islands, and power, this book engages various metaphors for alternative world-making.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A mold-breaking memoir of Asian American identity, political activism, community, and purpose. Not Yo' Butterfly is the intimate and unflinching life story of Nobuko Miyamoto--artist, activist, and mother. Beginning with the harrowing early years of her life as a Japanese American child navig…ating a fearful west coast during World War II, Miyamoto leads readers into the landscapes that defined the experiences of twentieth-century America and also foregrounds the struggles of people of color who reclaimed their histories, identities, and power through activism and art. Miyamoto vividly describes her early life in the racialized atmosphere of Hollywood musicals and then her turn toward activism as an Asian American troubadour with the release of A Grain of Sand--considered to be the first Asian American folk album. Her narrative intersects with the stories of Yuri Kochiyama and Grace Lee Boggs, influential in both Asian and Black liberation movements. She tells how her experience of motherhood with an Afro-Asian son, as well as a marriage that intertwined Black and Japanese families and communities, placed her at the nexus of the 1992 Rodney King riots--and how she used art to create interracial solidarity and conciliation. Through it all, Miyamoto has embraced her identity as an Asian American woman to create an antiracist body of work and a blueprint for empathy and praxis through community art. Her sometimes barbed, often provocative, and always steadfast story is now told.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Hearing Luxe Pop explores a deluxe-production aesthetic that has long thrived in American popular music, in which popular-music idioms are merged with lush string orchestrations and big-band instrumentation. John Howland presents an alternative music history that centers on shifts in timbre a…nd sound through innovative uses of orchestration and arranging, traveling from symphonic jazz to the Great American Songbook, the teenage symphonies of Motown to the 'countrypolitan' sound of Nashville, the sunshine pop of the Beach Boys to the blending of soul and funk into 1970s disco, and Jay-Z's hip-hop-orchestra events to indie rock bands performing with the Brooklyn Philharmonic. This book attunes readers to hear the discourses gathered around the music and its associated images as it examines pop's relations to aspirational consumer culture, theatricality, sophistication, cosmopolitanism, and glamorous lifestyles.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Since Iran's 1979 Revolution, the imperative to create and protect the inner purity of family and nation in the face of outside spiritual corruption has been a driving force in national politics. Through extensive fieldwork, Rose Wellman examines how Basiji families, as members of Iran's volu…ntary paramilitary organization, are encountering, enacting, and challenging this imperative. Her ethnography reveals how families and state elites are employing blood, food, and prayer in commemorations for martyrs in Islamic national rituals to create citizens who embody familial piety, purity, and closeness to God. Feeding Iran provides a rare and humanistic account of religion and family life in the post-revolutionary Islamic Republic that examines how home life and everyday piety are linked to state power.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - European Witch Trials: Their Foundations in Popular and Learned Culture, 1300-1500 explores the intricate dynamics of witchcraft accusations and trials during the medieval period, seeking to untangle the roots of these phenomena in both popular and learned cultures. The author critiques the a…nthropological approach to the European witch trials, noting that while European society differed significantly from non-Western societies, the mechanisms behind witch beliefs and persecutions seem to transcend these cultural distinctions. Despite societal differences, both European and primitive cultures exhibited a fluidity in their understanding of causality, where magical, natural, and religious explanations coexisted without conflict, providing fertile ground for witch accusations. The book delves into the challenge of discerning the true nature of witch beliefs in early European society, particularly the distinction between learned and popular traditions. Many scholars have proposed various foundations for witch beliefs--some argue that these beliefs were born of learned theological concepts, while others suggest they were rooted in popular folklore or even illicit practices. The author discusses these differing perspectives, offering a framework for distinguishing between sorcery, invocation, and diabolism, the core components of witchcraft, while acknowledging the blurring of these concepts in historical documents. By focusing on the period between 1300 and 1500, the work highlights the geographical regions most affected by witch trials, primarily in England, France, Italy, and Germany, offering a nuanced exploration of how these trials were influenced by societal anxieties and cultural tensions of the late medieval period. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A German Word Family Dictionary: Together with English Equivalents offers an innovative approach to understanding and expanding German vocabulary through its prefix-root system. Unlike conventional dictionaries, which organize words alphabetically by their prefixes, this dictionary groups Ger…man words by their roots, creating cohesive word families. For example, instead of finding Auftrag under 'auf-', it is listed with approximately 80 other words in the 'TRAG' word family. This structure enables users to see the full extent of each root family and provides English translations for all words within the group, giving insight into their semantic range and development. By presenting these word families in a column format, the dictionary helps clarify confusing look-alikes and encourages students to learn less frequent derivatives of roots they may already recognize. This arrangement makes it easier to predict the meanings of new prefixed words, offering both a practical and educational tool for language learners. Additionally, the dictionary introduces key linguistic concepts such as 'roots,' 'bases,' 'radicals,' and 'stems,' helping users understand the etymological and morphological foundations of German words. Through diachronic derivations, like tracing the Indo-European root delup to the modern German word zehn and English ten, the dictionary underscores the historical evolution of language. It also addresses challenges in vocabulary building, transforming what might seem like a confusing array of similar words into an economical and systematic approach to mastering German. The German Word Family Dictionary not only simplifies the process of learning German but also provides a vantage point for appreciating the language's inherent structure and productivity. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Principles of State and Government in Islam by Muhammad Asad offers a profound exploration of Islamic political thought and its application in modern governance. Rooted in the foundational texts of Islam--the Qur'an and the Sunnah--Asad presents a compelling case for an Islamic polity tha…t harmonizes religious principles with contemporary socio-political realities. His work is both a theoretical discourse and a practical framework, aiming to address the constitutional and governance challenges faced by newly independent Muslim states, particularly Pakistan. Unlike traditional Islamic political treatises or Western-inspired constitutional models, Asad's vision seeks a balanced approach, asserting that Islamic governance should neither regress into outdated medieval forms nor blindly adopt Western democratic structures. Asad's argument is not just an academic exercise but a call to action for Muslim societies to reclaim their political destiny through an authentic yet adaptable Islamic framework. He critiques both the conservative traditionalists who seek to impose archaic models and the modernists who uncritically emulate Western systems, advocating instead for a state that embodies the ethical and legal mandates of Islam while responding to contemporary needs. His meticulous engagement with Islamic jurisprudence and political philosophy makes this book a vital resource for scholars, policymakers, and students of Islamic governance. More than a manifesto, The Principles of State and Government in Islam is a visionary attempt to bridge the past and the future, offering an intellectually rigorous and pragmatically relevant guide for the evolution of Islamic governance in the modern era.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book examines Africa's emerging role in global politics during the mid-20th century and presents Chester Bowles' views on how American foreign policy should adapt to meet Africa's growing challenges. Following World War II, the United States' foreign policy largely focused on countering…Soviet influence in Europe through NATO and economic aid programs like the Marshall Plan. However, Bowles argues that while these measures were effective in Europe, they failed to address the revolutionary wave of decolonization sweeping Africa and other regions. This movement, driven by the desire for self-determination, required a different approach--one that respects the aspirations of newly independent nations rather than relying on traditional military alliances. Bowles emphasizes that the anticolonial revolution is grounded in universal principles of freedom and self-governance, ideals with which the United States, as a nation born from colonial rebellion, should naturally identify. Yet, he critiques American foreign policy for its heavy reliance on military alliances to counter Soviet influence in the global south, arguing that such tactics ignore the aspirations of these newly emerging nations. To effectively support freedom and stability in Africa, he advocates for a foreign policy that prioritizes economic aid and respects African sovereignty. He asserts that such an approach could counteract Soviet influence, which increasingly sought to harness Africa's anticolonial energy for its own ends by promoting economic and ideological alignment with Moscow. In his lectures at the University of California in 1956, Bowles articulates an alternative vision for American engagement with Africa. He calls for economic partnerships, developmental aid, and an honest commitment to the values of self-determination and mutual respect, rather than treating Africa solely as a pawn in the East-West conflict. Bowles' approach challenges American policymakers to re-evaluate the nation's role in supporting decolonization and to recognize Africa as a vital arena for advancing global peace and security in alignment with American ideals.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Tireless Traveler: Twenty Letters to the Liverpool Mercury by Anthony Trollope offers readers a vivid and revealing account of Anthony Trollope's 1875 journey from Ceylon through Australia, Hawai'i, San Francisco, and overland to New York. Edited and introduced by Bradford Allen Booth, th…is volume publishes for the first time twenty long-lost letters that fill a major gap in Trollope's biography and illuminate his role as both novelist and indefatigable observer of British colonial life. Unlike his better-known travel books, these letters were written for the Liverpool Mercury and thus speak directly to a broad provincial audience eager for practical knowledge of colonial societies. Trollope reports not on art or landscape but on institutions, commerce, labor conditions, and the day-to-day realities of settlement. His concerns, he repeatedly emphasizes, are 'political, social, and material,' and he measures colonies by their capacity to sustain working families rather than by their picturesque allure. Booth's introduction situates the letters within Trollope's broader career and highlights their value for multiple fields of study. For biographers, they clarify an eight-month period of his life previously shrouded in uncertainty. For social and economic historians, they provide thick description of late nineteenth-century Australia and Ceylon in transition, down to wages, prices, and civic institutions. For literary scholars, they showcase Trollope's pragmatic voice, skeptical of imperial expansion and missionary interference yet steeped in Victorian assumptions about class, comfort, and utility. Vivid episodes--including the attack at Santa Cruz that cost Commodore Goodenough his life--sit alongside candid missteps, such as Trollope's erroneous claims about Hawai'i's distance from California or his dismissive view of San Francisco. As such, the letters capture both the strengths and limits of Trollope's worldview, offering indispensable insights into Victorian travel writing, colonial history, and the global imagination of one of Britain's most industrious novelists.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A Loss of Mastery: Puritan Historians in Colonial America by Peter Gay offers a brilliant exploration of how early New Englanders wrote their history and what that writing reveals about the Puritan mind. Drawing on figures from William Bradford and Cotton Mather to Jonathan Edwards, Gay shows… how colonial historians sought to order the turbulence of settlement, theology, and politics into a providential narrative. At the heart of the book is the paradox that the Puritans, for all their obsession with recording God's design in history, failed to develop the historical consciousness that was transforming Europe in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Written originally as Jefferson Memorial Lectures, Gay's study balances intellectual history with close readings of canonical Puritan texts. It traces the evolution of a historiography that began in heroic self-justification but descended into elegiac lamentations of decline. For Gay, this trajectory reveals both the grandeur and the limitations of the Puritan experiment: the effort to live within a providential frame of history that could not withstand the modernizing pressures of Enlightenment thought. A Loss of Mastery thus illuminates not only the Puritan worldview but also the larger problem of cultural adaptation in the New World.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A Literature Without Qualities: American Writing Since 1945 delves into the evolution of American literature from the post-World War II period to the mid-1970s, examining its transformation as both a product and reflection of a volatile and imaginative epoch. The book situates this era within… the broader context of public consciousness, arguing that the period's literary works are characterized by a provisional nature--tentative in their conclusions yet deeply entwined with the sociopolitical and cultural shifts of the time. The author refrains from defining definitive masterworks or crafting an exhaustive list of acclaimed titles, instead focusing on how this era reshaped the very enterprise of literary creation and critique. This period, marked by a shift in critical self-awareness and creative ambition, reveals American literature grappling with questions of identity, innovation, and its role within an unsettled cultural order. By blending historical critique, personal reflection, and diagnostic projection, the book examines how the collective consciousness of post-war America influenced its literary production. It explores the interplay between individual creativity and broader cultural forces, emphasizing the importance of shared experiences and societal relationships in shaping literary innovation. From the idealistic aspirations of Emerson and Whitman to the more skeptical, politically charged voices of Mailer and Berryman, the book traces a lineage of American writers who viewed literature as a vehicle for societal introspection and transformation. Ultimately, it frames the vitality of literature as inseparable from the vitality of its cultural and social context, offering a nuanced understanding of how American writing navigated the complex realities of its time while laying the groundwork for future creative endeavors.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Rossetti-Macmillan Letters by Lona Mosk Packer presents 133 previously unpublished letters (1861-1889) from Dante Gabriel, Christina, and William Michael Rossetti to publisher Alexander Macmillan, bookseller-publisher F. S. Ellis, and others, offering a vivid, behind-the-scenes portrait o…f Victorian literary culture at work. Beginning with William Michael's introduction to the 'rising young publisher' in Cambridge and moving through the famous London 'Tobacco Parliaments,' this collection traces how friendships, editorial judgment, and hard economics shaped what reached the page. We watch Christina Rossetti's \*Up-Hill\* find a home in \*Macmillan's Magazine\*, see \*Goblin Market\* shepherded into print as a Christmas book despite doubts about its 'quaintnesses,' and follow Dante Gabriel's negotiations over translations and poems amid shifting patronage and publishing risk. Edited with a substantial introduction and full scholarly notes, the volume situates each letter within the networks of the Pre-Raphaelite circle and the expanding Macmillan firm. Packer illuminates Alexander Macmillan's blend of literary taste and commercial acumen--his willingness to 'take risks,' his eye for design and audience, and his role as candid first reader--while mapping the Rossettis' evolving strategies for finding readers beyond the small magazine coteries. The result is a granular social history of authorship: contracts and calendars, praise and refusal, proofs, prices, and print runs--alongside the ideals, anxieties, and loyalties that sustained a family of writers.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Ford Madox Ford: The Essence of His Art offers an insightful examination of the literary life and achievements of Ford Madox Ford, one of the most intriguing and complex figures in early 20th-century English literature. Known for his innovative narrative techniques, Ford is best remembered fo…r his masterpieces, The Good Soldier and Parade's End. This study highlights Ford's distinctive style, focusing particularly on his use of the time-shift technique, which rearranges events in the narrator's memory, and his ability to evoke psychological tension and social commentary through fragmented narrative structures. Ford's writing navigates the transition from Victorian to modern sensibilities, exploring themes of passion, duty, and the social upheavals of his time. By delving into his works, the study offers a deeper understanding of Ford's pivotal role in the development of the modern novel, blending the emotional complexity of his characters with a keen critique of society. The book also provides a rich biographical context, detailing Ford's early life within the artistic circles of the Pre-Raphaelites and his literary struggles. It examines his relationships with literary giants like Joseph Conrad and Henry James, whose influence can be traced in Ford's own works. The author's introspective approach to writing, his search for identity, and his exploration of personal and societal conflicts through fiction are key themes in this study. The narrative of Ford's life is punctuated by moments of literary innovation and personal turmoil, capturing the essence of his journey as an artist, editor, and mentor. Through a combination of personal reminiscences and literary analysis, this book presents Ford as both a product of his time and a visionary who pushed the boundaries of narrative form to reflect the complexities of the human condition.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This study explores the radical poetics of William Butler Yeats and Wallace Stevens, focusing on their contributions to modern literary theory and the unique role of imagination in their works. By tracing their poetic theories within the broader context of post-Romantic criticism, the essay c…ritiques both the romantic idealism of the 19th century and the contextual theories of modern criticism. Yeats and Stevens challenge the notion of poetry as a direct avenue to transcendental truth, redefining the role of the imagination as an artistic force that operates within its own linguistic medium, unburdened by metaphysical or empirical agendas. Their poetics, often interpreted through contrasting lenses such as romantic organicism or the 'visionary' archetypes championed by scholars like Northrop Frye, instead offer a framework where poems are self-contained entities. These works articulate the tension between the impoverished modern imagination and its capacity to find freedom and meaning within the act of creation itself. Through close readings of Yeats's and Stevens's prose and poetry, this essay argues that their works embody a 'poetics of will,' wherein the imagination, though constrained by the limitations of a disenchanted modern world, still achieves a vital cultural role. Unlike their predecessors, who viewed poetry as a conduit to metaphysical revelation, Yeats and Stevens position the poem as an autonomous artifact that captures fleeting moments of freedom and beauty. For the poet, the creative act becomes an assertion of control over the chaos of inner and outer realities, while for the reader, the well-wrought poem offers a brief but profound engagement with the artist's vision. In this way, Yeats and Stevens redefine the purpose of poetry, suggesting its essential contribution to human happiness and cultural resilience in an age marked by existential and aesthetic challenges.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In The Ancient Dialect: Thomas Carlyle and Comparative Religion, the author examines how Carlyle's perspective on religion, language, and human potential both shaped and transcended the intellectual boundaries of his time. The book highlights Carlyle's movement away from traditional Christian… dogma to a more inclusive view that embraces the diversity of world religions, myths, and the collective quest for meaning as central products of human expression. Carlyle recognized these varied forms of belief as expressions of a shared human essence, intuitively grasping the notion of a 'global village' long before the term existed. His work placed him at the intersection of emerging modern perspectives, anticipating philosophical shifts from universal truths to pluralistic understandings of reality. Carlyle's idea of language as a mutable, expressive force reflects a philosophy where meaning is not fixed but rather molded by the cultural and historical contexts of the speaker. This book focuses on how Carlyle's writings, especially his engagement with comparative religion, anticipated ideas that later shaped both literary and scientific thought. Carlyle's views on the mysteries of the universe--often explored through Job's questioning stance and metaphors of human limitation--parallel scientific perspectives on the unknown and unknowable. He approached humanity's role in the cosmos with a sense of wonder and humility, challenging the reductive interpretations of positivism in favor of an epistemology that acknowledges the limits of human understanding. By celebrating human creativity and the diversity of religious expression, Carlyle underscored the idea that humans are 'miracles of miracles,' embodying an intellectual and spiritual curiosity that links to the central theme of this study: Carlyle as a visionary whose insights bridge religious tradition and the modernist embrace of an expansive, interconnected world.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - S. K. De's classic study offers the first synoptic, rigorously argued account in English of how Sanskrit thinkers conceived poetry--as craft, as meaning, and as aesthetic experience. Ranging from the early alamkarikas through Da??in and Vamana to Anandavardhana and Abhinavagupta, De traces th…e discipline's formative alliance with grammar and its gradual turn from cataloging 'ornaments' to theorizing rasa, poetic 'relish.' Along the way he clarifies foundational debates over sabda and artha, gu?a and do?a, riti and aucitya, and the crucial emergence of dhvani (suggestion) as the mode by which poetry transcends literal statement. De's guiding question--what kind of knowledge or experience is realized in poetry --organizes a lucid reconstruction of Indian poetics as it moves from normative handbooks toward a philosophy of aesthetic intuition that is at once analytical and spiritual. Balancing close reading with intellectual history, Sanskrit Poetics as a Study of Aesthetic dismantles persistent caricatures of Sanskrit criticism as merely technical. De shows how its most ambitious theorists grappled with the unity of expression and intuition, the generalization (sadhara?ikara?a) that makes shared emotion possible, and the critic's role as sah?daya, the 'like-hearted' relisher of art. Written with extraordinary economy and precision, the book speaks across disciplines--literary studies, aesthetics, Indology, religious studies--while remaining anchored in primary texts. This new presentation restores a landmark of comparative poetics to readers seeking a coherent map of a vast field and a compelling account of why rasa still matters: not as hedonism, but as a disciplined form of bliss that suspends practical aims and opens a distinct mode of knowing. De's work remains indispensable for anyone interested in how a non-Western tradition theorized what poetry does and why we care.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In Chaucer's Poetics and the Modern Reader, the focus shifts from a realist interpretation of Chaucer's works to a nuanced exploration of his rhetorical poetics, emphasizing the poet's ambivalence about the nature of truth and language. The study aligns Chaucer's fragmented and contingent nar…ratives with modern poststructuralist and rhetorical theories, arguing that his works embody a profound self-awareness about the limitations and possibilities of literary language. Rejecting static notions of 'truth to life,' this approach highlights Chaucer's place in a lineage of literary innovators who probe the intersection of language, reality, and artifice. Through analyses of works like the House of Fame and The Canterbury Tales, the study reveals Chaucer's consistent use of rhetorical poetics across diverse narrative forms. The House of Fame, with its flamboyant structure and reflexive style, serves as a touchstone for understanding Chaucer's aesthetic principles, while the Canterbury Tales showcases his adaptability, blending realism in the Pardoner's Tale with rhetorical brilliance in the Nun's Priest's Tale. Ultimately, Chaucer's poetic ambivalence culminates in the final sequence of the Tales, where he juxtaposes the ambiguities of literary art with theological certitude. This work presents Chaucer as a pioneering figure whose insights into the instability of language and meaning resonate deeply with modern literary discourse.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - California's Spiritual Frontiers: Religious Alternatives in Anglo-Protestantism, 1850-1910 offers a profound exploration of how Anglo-Protestantism evolved and adapted in California during a period of rapid cultural and societal transformation. In a region where evangelical Protestantism init…ially sought to dominate, the book reveals how traditional religious norms were challenged by liberal ideologies and metaphysical movements, including Christian Science, New Thought, and Theosophy. These alternative spiritual frameworks reshaped the religious landscape, emphasizing individual spirituality, mysticism, and openness to non-traditional beliefs. The book vividly illustrates how California's unique social dynamics and cultural diversity fostered a distinctive blend of spiritual experimentation and adaptation. Focusing on key regions such as the mining districts, San Francisco Bay Area, and early Los Angeles, California's Spiritual Frontiers examines the interplay between traditional denominations, emerging liberal thought, and new metaphysical religions. It details the challenges faced by Protestant leaders to maintain their influence amidst a largely unchurched population and the growing popularity of alternative spiritual paths. This meticulously researched work not only provides a window into California's unique religious evolution but also contributes significantly to the broader study of American religious history, highlighting the intersection of regional, cultural, and spiritual identities.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Idea of Coleridge's Criticism explores the profound, often polarizing legacy of Samuel Taylor Coleridge as a literary critic, whose influence continues to resonate in modern thought. This study examines the richness and complexity of Coleridge's critical theories, particularly his groundb…reaking ideas on imagination, organic unity, and the interplay between form and content in poetry. It navigates the spectrum of scholarly opinions, from skepticism over his philosophical debts to the Germans to admiration for his psychological insights and practical criticism. By analyzing his contributions within the broader context of Romanticism and Western criticism, this book emphasizes Coleridge's role as a thinker who unified poetic theory, philosophy, and literary practice in ways that shaped generations of critical discourse. With a focus on the inherent unity of Coleridge's critical vision, the book contends that his theories extend beyond the fragmentary and eclectic criticisms often attributed to him. It delves into his synthesis of Romantic idealism and systematic analysis, showcasing his ability to reconcile opposites--subject and object, imagination and reason--within an organic framework. Highlighting his enduring relevance, the book underscores how Coleridge's belief in the logic and value of imaginative language provided a compelling defense against the encroachment of scientific positivism in literature. Ultimately, this study positions Coleridge not only as a Romantic theorist or pioneer of depth psychology but as a towering figure whose critical insights retain permanent significance for literary interpretation and appreciation.
