   Encyclopedia Of Creation Myths

   Encyclopedia Of Creation Myths [ REPOST ]
   | David Adams Leeming | 3,1 Mb |

   The Encyclopedia of Creation Myths gathers the worlds major creation stories into a single comprehensive volume.

   From Adam and Eve to the Zulu's Unkulunkuku, this text gathers the world's major creation stories into a single volume. Exotic beliefs of ancient peoples are explored in detail. Modern theories of creation derived from science are also included.

   This attractively illustrated work is the first to bring together creation myths from a wide variety of cultures in an encyclopedic format, though a number of anthologies of creation myths do exist. The principal author, a professor of English and comparative literature at the University of Connecticut, has written or edited several popular books on mythology. The majority of entries are retellings of various creation myths; for example, Eskimo Creation or Hebrew Creation. There are also entries for important themes (Creation from Clay), gods and other figures (Prometheus), bodies of literature (Bible), and scientific "myths" (Big Bang Theory). Entries range from a single sentence to several pages; a number contain extensive portions of important creation texts. Most contain references to one or more sources listed in the bibliography at the end of the book. Liberal cross-references are both embedded in the text and at the end of entries. The 30 black-and-white illustrations depict creation myths in art and artifact. An extensive, detailed, and generally accurate index concludes the book.

   Governments Of The World, Volumes 1 - 4

   C. Neal Tate, Governments Of The World, Volumes 1 - 4
   MacMillan Reference Books | ISBN: 0028658116 | 2005-12-09 | 1500 pages | PDF | 63 & 53 Mb
   The last 75 years have brought significant changes to the political and geographic picture of the world. The count of independent nations has grown from 68 in 1930 to 193 (or so) in 2005. Keeping up with the evolutions of all these nations and the supranational institutions (the UN, the European Union, and other regional affiliations) is a daunting task.

   In these volumes, 310 alphabetically arranged articles range in length from 500 to 3,500 words and cover 198 regions ("including every independent nation and several territories") as well as international courts, supranational institutions, concepts central to understanding political organization and human rights, and key individuals who have had positive and negative impacts on the evolution of citizens' rights and responsibilities. Country entries describe the system of government and the political evolution, with emphasis on the twentieth century and on issues related to the relationship between government and citizen. Each signed article concludes with a bibliography. The credentials of the authors (mostly academicians) are provided in the directory of contributors. Sidebars and black-and-white maps and illustrations break up the text. Same-page definitions in the margins of terms (such as ethnic cleansing, guerrilla, and republic make the information more comprehensible, as does the glossary, which is repeated at the end of each volume. In addition, each volume includes a cumulative index and a thematic outline of topics so that users can easily locate information on relevant persons, documents, legal issues, and concepts, as well as country-specific data and history, and teachers can plan correlated assignments. Another useful feature is the filmography, which is arranged by country. Entries are complemented by volume-specific selections of primary documents (for example, Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points, and Convention of the Rights of the Child).

   Comparative government is a difficult subject to grasp, and the constant changes around the globe make it almost impossible to have current information in one source. For the moment, at least, this set ties things together so that one can get an overview of where the world stood in 2005. In addition to updating such earlier works as Governments of the World: Student Companion (Oxford, 1998) and The World Encyclopedia of Political Systems and Parties (3d ed., Facts On File, 1999), it offers a different perspective with its emphasis on rights and responsibilities. Recommended where budget, interest, and space warrant

    The language of governance extends to patterns of rule found throughout our daily lives. Governance also provides us with a language with which to remake our world. We might ask how to make markets, networks, international organizations, corporations, and other associations democratically accountable. We might also ask what values we want to uphold in our practices of governance. It is important for us to address these questions because, by doing so, we make the future.

    Although the distinction between the politics of the left and the right is commonly assumed in the media and in treatments of political science and history, the terms are used so loosely that the student and the general reader are often confused: What exactly are the terms left and right supposed to imply? This two-volume Encyclopedia of Politics: The Left and the Right contains over 450 articles on individuals, movements, political parties, and ideological principles, with those usually thought of as left in the left-hand volume (Volume 1), and those considered on the right in the right-hand volume (Volume 2).

They held a central place in poetry at public and private festivals, and were told and retold by the poets, changing and developing as time went by, and from the sixth century BC onwards forming the subject of gripping dramas played out on the tragic stage. But these myths were more than mere stories. To the Greeks they were history, telling of real people in the real past; and a man's genealogy, often originating from a divine mythical ancestor, showed his place in
    the world and his relation to the great heroes of myth.

    Ancient Civilizations Reference Library

    Judson Knight, Stacy A. McConnell (Editor), Ancient Civilizations Reference Library
    UXL | ISBN 0787639842 | 2000 | PDF | 11 MB | 419 pages 3 volume set

    Civilization in its purest form is universal, something available to all people. The wisdom that went into the building of the Egyptian pyramids, the creation of Greek democracy, or the construction of the Mesoamerican metropolis Teotihuacán does not belong to any race or nation: it is a part of the human legacy, something all people can appreciate regardless of their heritage. Ancient Civilizations: Almanac focuses on twelve civilizations and cultures, beginning with the ancient Egyptians and covering the Sumerians of Mesopotamia, the Shang of China, the Olmec of the Americas, and the Minoan of ancient Greece, among others, and concludes with the rise and fall in A.D. 476 of the Roman Empire. While concentrating on each culture’s unique history and customs, Ancient Civilizations: Almanac also highlights the similarities between cultures that existed thousands of years—and sometimes thousands of miles—apart from each other.

    The Blackwell Encyclopaedia of Political Thought

    David Miller , The Blackwell Encyclopaedia of Political Thought
    Blackwell Publishers Inc | ISBN 0631179445 | 2000 | CHM | 1.1 MB | 540 pages

    This Encyclopaedia provides the student (whether professional or amateur) of political thought with a reliable guide to the major ideas and doctrines that influence the contemporary world; it outlines the thought of leading political theorists, past and present, and considers the ways in which thinking about politics has evolved historically. We have confined our attention largely to the western tradition of political thought—although we have included survey articles on Chinese, Hindu and Islamic political thought which we hope will introduce the reader to these non-western traditions, we make no claim to comprehensive coverage. We have included the thought of philosophers, historians, lawyers, economists and sociologists only when they have made some direct contribution to political debate.

    Charles Scribner's Sons | ISBN 0684313596 | 2006-10-06 | PDF | 280 pages | 268.56 MB

    Europe 1789 to 1914 covers the important people and the major events and developments in Europe from the onset of the French Revolution to the outbreak of World War I, one of the most studied periods in many disciplines. Broad in its scope, the encyclopedia encompasses all areas of human endeavor, exploring the period's scientific, social and cultural history as well as the political, military and economic developments. It illustrates the impact of the French Revolution and Napoleonic era on Europe, and the transformation of its political, social, and cultural institutions by the forces of industrialization, nationalism, mass politics, imperialism, great power rivalries and innovative cultural change. It links European experience to the history of the rest of the world, continuing the Charles Scribner's Sons' award-winning line from Ancient Europe and Encyclopedia of the Renaissance through Europe 1450-1789: Encyclopedia of the Early Modern World.
