The Brill Dictionary of Religion

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The new and impressively comprehensive Brill Dictionary of Religion addresses religion as an element of daily life and public discourse. Richly illustrated and with more than 500 entries, the dictionary is a multi-media reference source on the many and various forms of religious commitment. It is unusual in that it not only addresses the different theologies and doctrinal declarations of the official institutionalized religions but it also gives equal weight and consideration to a multiplicity of other religious phenomena. People perceive and express religious experiences in many different ways: through dance, sensuality, in relations between sexes and in compassion at death. Religions help determine how people form and perceive their identity as part of a social group. The diverse effects of religions can also be perceived in the environment, society and the public sphere. The Brill Dictionary of Religion helps map out and define the networks and connections created by… [detailed...]

And despite significant religious differences, Islam remains one of the least sectarian of world religions. Most Muslims live in societies in which the influence of tradition is very strong, and in which modernization has also penetrated to some extent. The Britannica Guide to the Islamic World introduces the ideas that are the least understood to those outside the religion, and where Islam is practiced throughout the world. [detailed...]

Anthony King
The British Constitution

2007 y.
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Description: In the latter part of the nineteenth century Walter Bagehot wrote a classic account of the British constitution as it had developed during Queen Victoria`s reign. He argued that the late Victorian constitution was not at all what people thought it was. Anthony King argues that the same is true at the beginning of this century. Most people are aware that major constitutional changes have taken place, but few recognize that their cumulative effect has been to change entirely the nature of Britain`s constitutional structure. The old constitution has gone. The author insists that the new constitution is a mess, but one that we can make the best of. `The British Constitution` is neither a reference book nor a textbook. Like Bagehot`s classic, it is written with wit and mordant humour - by someone who is a journalist and political commentator as well as a distinguished academic. The author maintains that, while the new British constitution is a mess, there is no going back now. `As… [detailed...]

The British Malting Industry Since 1830

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Malt is the main ingredient in the national beverage, beer. For centuries the malting industry has provided a principal bridge between agriculture and the brewing industry, yet its history has been little studied. The British Malting Industry since 1830 is the first overall account of malting, dealing with the processes, products and sales, owners and employees, and with the evolution of what in 1830 were almost all small, local businesses. Christine Clark traces the influence of the growing demand for beer in Victorian England, and of the increasing power of the large breweries, on the malt industry. Maltsters often saw themselves as the poor cousins of brewers, with whom they had an intimate but ultimately dependent relationship, yet the fortunes left by leading maltsters shows the opportunities the industry offered to those able to benefit from technical innovations and the arrival of the railways. The history of malting in this century has been… [detailed...]

The British Museum Book of Chinese Art

Publisher: British Museum Press
Description: Chinese silks and porcelains, unsurpassed for over a thousand years, have always been coveted around the world for their fine textures and brilliant colours.

The wealth of colour illustrations, primarily from the rich collections of the British Museum, includes well-known blue-and-white Ming ceramics as well as less familiar jades of the Neolithic period and priceless paintings on silk from the Buddhist caves at Dunhuang. Jessica Rawson is the author of numerous publications and curator of many exhibitions on China.

While Adam gestates his thesis in the British Museum, his wife worries at home because her period is late and a fourth little bundle of (expensive) joy seems to be on the way, thanks to `Vatican Roulette`. Though Adam`s experience is constantly coloured by the authors he is studying, one distinction remains clear: `Literature is mostly about having sex, and not much about having children. Life is the other way round`. A sharply perceptive comic novel, `London Bridge is Falling Down` brilliantly captures the absurd, pitiful dilemma of Catholics in the days when the Pill was just an enticing rumour. [detailed...]

Description: Who are pop dandies? Why are stars like David Bowie, Jarvis Cocker, Pete Doherty, and Robbie Williams so dandified? Taking up a wide range of British pop stars, Hawkins seeks to find out why so many British pop stars have cast themselves in roles that often take style to absurd extremes. In this study, male pop artists are mapped against a cultural and historical background through a genealogy of personalities, such as Oscar Wilde, W.H. Auden, Andy Warhol, Noel Coward, Derek Jarmen, David Beckham, and countless others. A critical analysis of issues and approaches to musical performance through masculinity becomes the focal point of this fascinating study.Ranging from the sixties to beyond the twentieth century, `The British Pop Dandy` considers the construction of the male pop icon through the spectacle of videos, live concerts, and films. Why do we derive pleasure from the performing body, and how is entertainment linked to categories of gender and sexuality? The author insists that… [detailed...]
