Reed (Persian Postcards: Iran after Khomeini) visited Iran on the eve of the parliamentary elections that were to seal the political defeat of the reform movement. They had come to interview several of the men and women who had propelled Mohammad Khatami to the presidency in 1997, with a mission to rebuild a civil society in Iran under the banner of human rights, democracy, free speech and a renewed dialogue of civilizations. This is their report: Irans once lively press has been all but silenced, the countrys most outspoken journalists imprisoned, and, argues Mohsen Kadivar, one of the regimes sharpest critics, the shahs crown has now merely been replaced by the mullahs turban." .

President Ronald Reagan's famous exhortation when visiting Berlin in 1987 has long been widely cited as the clarion call that brought the Cold War to an end. The United States won, so this version of history goes, because Ronald Reagan stood firm against the USSR; American resoluteness brought the evil empire to its knees.Michael Meyer, who was there at the time as a Newsweek bureau chief, begs to differ.In this extraordinarily compelling account of the revolutions that railed Eastern Europe in 1989, he shows that American intransigence was only one of many factors that provoked world-shaking change. Meyer draws together breathtakingly vivid, on-the-ground accounts of the rise of the Solidarity movement in Poland, the stealth opening of the Hungarian border, the Velvet Revolution in Prague and the collapse of the infamous wall in Berlin. But the most important events, Meyer contends, occurred secretly, in the heroic stands taken by individuals in the thick of the struggle, leaders such as poet and playwright Vaclav Havel in Prague; the Baltic shipwright Lech Walesa; the quietly determined reform prime minister in Budapest, Miklos Nemeth; and the man who privately realized that his empire was already lost, and decided-with courage and intelligence to let it go in peace.

He became a monk in the Benedictine monastery of St Albans in 1217 and died there in June 1259. His name probably has nothing to do with Paris and, though he wrote in Latin and at times also in French, English seems to have been his native language. No evidence whatever of the events of Matthew Paris's life has survived outside his own mention of himself in his own writings. Fortunately he was by no means reticent, and so we know that he was at the royal court at Westminster in 1247, and with the king at Winchester in July 1251, and that he probably made other similar visits. We also know from his own account of the affair that in the summer of 1248 he travelled as far as Bergen in Norway, and that he had been sent to that country by the pope to advise and reform the monks of a Norwegian Benedictine monastery. Two contemporary fellow monks of his at St Albans mention Matthew Paris. The infirmarer, John of Wallingford, who wrote a short chronicle of his own based on Matthew's materials, refers the reader at one point to the chronicle of Matthew Paris of St Albans'. Elsewhere he mentions the Book of additamenta of St Albans a book known to be written by Matthew Paris. One other early mention shows that Matthew Paris's fame quickly extended beyond St Albans. This is a unique record of life and events in the 13th century with full-colour reproductions of over a hundred of the original manuscript decorations. Brother Matthew comes across, down all of the 750 years, as warm cheerful, lively and violentely prejudiced. --- From the Introduction and the back cover.. Trade Paperback. Very Good.

His parents were Boerries Baron Munchausen Moringen (1845-1931) from the Lower Saxon nobility of Munchausen from Apelern and his wife Clementine (1846-1913), born from the bounty of Lentz . After attending the convent school Ilfeld Boerries visited the Lyceum II in Hanover. He was the son of the Hanoverian State Rabbi Selig Gronemann , Sammy Gronemann well known. Sammy Grone man reported that Boerries, who visited the class above him, him against anti-Semitic fellow students in the subject, adopted, "Boerries, who had been a student a special fondness for Jewish things, including frequently attended the Friday evening service in the synagogue, would against anti-Semitic bullying to occur very energetic. " [1] was then Munchausen in Göttingen , Berlin and Munich to the study of law and political science. His first state examination ended with the oral examination in Celle, where he graduated in turn, together with Gronemann. As the examination was held on a Saturday and Gronemann write as an Orthodox Jew on the Sabbath did not want forged Munchausen as freshly baked Assessor for his friend's signature on the examination certificate. [2] documented later Munchausen subjects like philosophy and literature and gave 1898 the Musenalmanach Göttingen students [3] out. In 1899 he received his doctorate in Leipzig, Dr. iur. and then went back to Göttingen. In the First World War Munchausen was first officer (Lieutenant) in the Royal Saxon Guards Cavalry Regiment. Since 1916, he worked for the Foreign Department of the Army High Command . Volunteer work he was from 1914 to 1920 Chairman of the Federation of Lower Saxony homeland . [4] After the war he farmed his estate in Windischleuba, but also published in various journals. From 1925 Munchausen at the magazine people and race editor of the supplement in the word people . [5] Relationship to Judaism [ Edit ]His relationship to Judaism remained ambivalent Volkisch set, he looked endorsed the Jews as a "foreign people" whose participation in German cultural life, not him. This included friendly relations with the Jewish "nationally conscious" (Zionist-adjusted) from non-authors. Gronemann reported as Munchausen 1901 his ballad on a meeting organized by his organization of the Zionist Federation Hannover read [6] In this context Gronemann also reports of Munchausen's attitude toward the Jews at all: "Munchausen's career is the singer of Jewish power and Jewish heroes of the German nationalist bard understandably often quite dismissive assessment. After all, knows when one's attitude toward the Jews at that time, one can find rather that development to understand. He loved the old Judaism, rooted in the tradition of agreements between the ancient Maccabees. He detested the Assimilantentum and did not understand how a Jew could feel about themselves otherwise than as an aristocrat. " [7] moving with a glorification of ancient Judaism, in contrast to a negatively perceived in contemporary Judaism Munchausen quite in the mainstream of Christian ideas of his time. The Zionist newspaper Die Welt reported in its issue of 20 February 1903 on a positive manifestation of Munchausen on Zionism: "Straight ahead is clear and the always likable Boerries Baron von Munchausen on his mind. He called Zionism the awakening of a proud nobility of consciousness of a noble people. . He does not believe in its feasibility, because the plebeians will not join in the many plebeians " [8] Gronemann further reported Munchausen was in the world , the "Ghetto Songs" Morris Rosenfeld's (negative) reviewed, and has also stated his view of Judaism " In his view, the Jews of the world's oldest aristocratic dar. He did three noble, the nobility of the sword, which he reckoned himself, the merchant nobility (Fugger) and the Jews. Needle is in his view, when generations the same pace of life is respected and you beschäfftigt with the same things, so the same purpose in life and the same form of life remains. "That Should that all three of these groups, but especially to the Jews," in which even only an elite has remained the strongest and most resistant, as the weak elements are eliminated in the course of the centuries-long persecution of the Jewish community. " [9] In a letter dated 2nd December 1922 he remarked to his (non-Jewish) friend Levin Ludwig Schücking in a discussion of the Prague writer Leo Perutz on German-Jewish writers: "Maybe me but these are not all Jews of Vienna, also Hoffmansthal me an abomination. I feel a certain negative everywhere and do not know whether it is the moral necessity of the works or the character of the poet. Resists any case, my instinct against it, although I, as you know, not a practical anti-Semite am. " [10] Gronemann also reports that Munchausen was very echauffiert, as the Jewish author A. Halbert had dared his German style to improve. Next Gronemann quoted from a letter of Munchausen to him "as even the shadow of Hitler loomed," there wrote Boerries: "You are Davidsternler, I'm certainly not a swastika, but you will understand that it embarrasses me as a German writer, if hold Jews in German literature a leading position, but that could not tackle. What is unbearable for me stole somethin, is that they have this position of law. " [11] Anti-Semitic sentiments also came in an article in German Adelsblatt expressed, where he wrote in 1924: "A marriage between Aryans and Jews always produces a bastard". [5] It was clear Munchausen never as anti-Semites, but rather as a defender of the Germans. In 1929 he wrote to Ina Seidel : "As you know, I'm not anti-Semite, but I believe the Germans, however, protect the desperate defensive battle against an overgrowth of the Jewish spirit to have." Careers in National Socialism [ Edit ]After the takeover of the Nazis in May 1933 he was in the " cleaned " German Academy of Literature called, [5] abandoned after many former members of their membership or were forced to give up. A year later he was appointed to the Senate of the Academy. In October 1933, Münchhausen was among the 88 writers that the pledge faithful allegiance to Adolf Hitler signed. [5] After the death of President Hindenburg , he signed in August 1934 calling the cultural sector to the "referendum" in favor of a merger of the Reich President and Reich Chancellery . [5] During this time, Munchausen, also known in some texts on anti-Semitic sentiments and stated, among other things, that the proportion of Jews in the "deserters, criminals, convicts about a hundred to two hundred times as strong as the proportion of the population" was. He was energetic front against modern contemporary authors and argued against the left in Germany, such as Gottfried Benn . At his castle Windischleuba committed suicide in 1945 Borries von MunchhausenDuring the 1930s, drew back from Munchausen politics of the day, however, remained one of the Nazi literature policy on most sponsored. His attitude to the Nazi state was ambivalent. Although he emphasized in his published anthologies of texts by Jewish authors, on the other hand, he was also criticized by some hardliners in 1937 when he proscribed for some (Jewish and non-Jewish) writers began. He promoted the " degenerate "painter Conrad Felix Müller from contracts. In the final phase of the Second World War he was in August 1944 by Hitler in the Gottbegnadeten list entered the most important writers. [5] On 16 March 1945 ended his life by suicide Munchausen. Motives for this were in addition to the predictable defeat of Germany and the death of the only biological child (1934) and his wife on 16 January 1945. He is buried in the cemetery of Windischleuba. His castle Windischleuba was in the wake of land reform expropriated between 1945 and recovered after 1990 in favor of the state. It is today (using original parts of furniture) used as a hostel. Literary success [ Edit ]Munchausen had already during his studies first ballads and poems written. In 1897 he published his first volume of poems , which had some success. In 1900 he published his collection of ballads Judah [12] with illustrations by the renowned art deco illustrator Ephraim Moses Lilien . This sumptuous volume was used for decades in Jewish middle-class families as a representative of the Christian gift for socially relevant Confirmation Bar Mitzvah. There, he handled issues of the Torah in the same manner as elsewhere themes of Greek, Germanic and Indian mythology. Individual poems reveal a good knowledge not only of the Old Testament, but also of contemporary Jewish customs (eg the poem "Passover" in terms of Sedermals on the first night of Passover). In 1904, appeared in response to the Kishinev pogroms in Russia at that time his ballad "The Hesped-action", [13] which took the title of the traditional Jewish funeral oration (Hesped) for the victim party. From 1898 to 1922 he was the Göttingen Musenalmanach out, who campaigned for the release of mainly ballads and others in the first works of Agnes Miegel and Lulu Strauss und Torney appeared. Munchausen's ballads, which deal almost exclusively historical materials and take traditional forms, were in the Empire and the Weimar Republic is very popular. Often they were set to music and belonged to the canon of the youth movement of the time. After 1933, Munchausen published almost exclusively reprints of his earlier books and anthologies. Together with his cousin, the art historian Hans Albrecht of the Gabelentz-Linsingen (since 1930 "Captain of the Wartburg Castle"), he founded in the 1930s, the German poet academy in Eisenach , which is based on the Wartburg had. This was a serious rival to the Prussian Academy in Berlin. After the end of World War II found several poems Munchausen's inclusion in school text- books of the Federal Republic of Germany, in German poetry of modern times.

This study of the estrangement and reconciliation of the Churches of Rome and Canterbury deals with the intricate, difficult and often secret negotiations between them. The book begins at the Reformation and traces the tenuous history of the efforts of those who first tried to keep open the doors of understanding and the personalities who have made later attempts to bridge the gap. The first three hundred years of division are dealt with in general terms. The events of the 19th century altered the religious and social character of England so substantially that the book treats the period following 1830 in much greater detail.

GAO found that the revised approach: (1) focused on the collection and review of governmentwide data to identify systemic federal personnel problems; (2) involved the compilation of computerized databases; (3) included 1- or 2-day visits, over a 5-year period, to all 4,100 agency installations with 50 or more employees; (4) discontinued two of seven components and reduced assessment visits to 3,500 installations due to insufficient staff and funds; and (5) lacked specific, uniform criteria for the assessment visits. GAO also found that, of the nine agencies it contacted, personnel managers at: (1) two agencies were satisfied with the revised approach, citing better communication with OPM, less disruption of operations, and increased numbers of installations reviewed; and (2) seven agencies expressed concern about the revised approach, citing insufficient time for adequate assessment, limited feedback, and unsubstantiated findings.

'As a storyteller, I am infinitely more fascinated by what I see than by ideas, however profound.' In these elegant essays, he makes a passionate plea for the Roman Catholic Church to return to its great liturgical traditions-not per intellectual argument (although he is a deep, insightful thinker), but by inviting us to see what he sees. Born in Germany in 1951, Mosebach grew up before Vatican II, observing the Latin rite as a disinterested altar boy. Only after drifting away and then returning to church in adulthood did he realize how deeply the older forms had impressed themselves upon him and how much beauty and reverence had been swept away by reform. 'People of aesthetic sensibility, much scorned and suspect, are recipients of a terrible gift: they can infallibly discern the inner truth of what they see, of some process, of some idea, on the basis of its external form.' Reminiscent of Philip Sherrard in <i>The Sacred in Life and Art</i>, Mosebach applies his 'terrible gift' keenly as he examines subjects ranging from religious art, architecture, and modern hymns vs. Gregorian chant to the reverential acts of kneeling, standing, and walking. Accounts of his visit to Fontgombault Monastery and a chapter from a novel appear as well. Mosebach's voice resonates deeply with all who cherish that inseparable bond between the sacred and the beautiful. 210 pp., Ignatius Press, Bloomington, IN: AuthorHouse. Good.

The Crime of Punishment, originally published in 1966, addressed the critical issue of crime in America and how we punish criminals. Was the spread of violence in spite of our laws and courts or because of them and us? Dr. Menninger dissected the criminal justice system and concluded, "I suspect that all the crimes committed by all the jailed criminals do not equal in total social damage that of the crimes committed against them". Dr. Menninger, the esteemed psychiatrist, former chairman of the Board of Trustees of The Menninger Foundation in Topeka, and former senior consultant to the Stone-Brandel Center in Chicago, gave us a thoughtful manual 40 years ago that is highly relevant and seriously applicable to the criminal justice system today.

Hardcover. 1591023572 . 1 x 9.1 x 6 Inches; 263 pages; On May 14, 1825, one hundred mute, dispirited convict-laborers disembarked from steamers at Mount Pleasant, New York. They had been transported in chains nearly three hundred miles from Auburn Prison in upstate New York for the purpose of constructing a new maximum-security prison near a village on the Hudson called Sing Sing. Wielding pick axes and shovels, they worked under brutal supervision for five years, building the grim structure out of the rock underfoot, rusty scrap iron, and granite from a local quarry. Overseeing their slave labor was the sadistic Elam Lynds, formerly the warden in Auburn and soon to be the first master of Sing Sing. So begins Denis Brian's gripping history of one of America's most notorious prisons. For most of the 19th century Sing Sing was a bastion of inhumane treatment, where guards made every effort to break the spirit of inmates by a fanatic rule of silence enforced by shockingly brutal punishments and tortures—floggings with metal-tipped whips, the Chinese water cure, the Cage, the Crucifix, the Ball and Chain, and more. In 1891, Sing Sing witnessed its first electrocution, which was reportedly a terrible fiasco. This was followed by 613 additional electrocutions of both men and women. In addition, we learn that electricity genius Thomas Edison was a great proponent of this method. <P>Based on extensive research with original sources, Brian's narrative covers every period of the prison's checkered history, from the awful conditions of the 19th century to the relative improvements of the 20th century to today. In 1916, a dramatic turnaround occurred, when one of criminology's most progressive wardens, Lewis Lawes, took over. In command for twenty-one years, Lawes—who believed in reforming prisoners, not just punishing them—brought almost miraculous changes for the better. <P>During the 20th century Sing Sing held such infamous prisoners as members of Murder Incorporated, the Lonely Hearts Killers, Albert "the cannibal" Fish, Lucky Luciano, Louis Lepke, and Ethel and Julius Rosenberg. Brian recounts their stories and throws in "cameos" by such diverse visiting luminaries as Harry Houdini, Arthur Conan Doyle, Johnny Cash, John Cheever, and Mother Theresa. At the same time, it was the scene of daring, ingenious escapes, the first blood donations by prisoners, and inmates volunteering to be injected with syphilis in the interest of medical science. <P>Brian's story ends with a glimpse of Sing Sing today, based on first-hand visits, and interviews with the present warden, prison psychologists, doctors, and chaplains. <P>A must for fans of true crime, criminology, and urban American history, Brian's powerfully told story is both a dramatic page-turner and a definitive history. ., Prometheus Books, 2005, Bertrand Arthur William Russell, 3rd Earl Russell (1872-1970), was a philosopher, historian, logician, mathematician, advocate for social reform, and pacifist.

Reed (Persian Postcards: Iran after Khomeini) visited Iran on the eve of the parliamentary elections that were to seal the political defeat of the reform movement. They had come to interview several of the men and women who had propelled Mohammad Khatami to the presidency in 1997, with a mission to rebuild a civil society in Iran under the banner of human rights, democracy, free speech and a renewed dialogue of civilizations. This is their report: Irans once lively press has been all but silenced, the countrys most outspoken journalists imprisoned, and, argues Mohsen Kadivar, one of the regimes sharpest critics, the shahs crown has now merely been replaced by the mullahs turban." .

President Ronald Reagan's famous exhortation when visiting Berlin in 1987 has long been widely cited as the clarion call that brought the Cold War to an end. The United States won, so this version of history goes, because Ronald Reagan stood firm against the USSR; American resoluteness brought the evil empire to its knees.Michael Meyer, who was there at the time as a Newsweek bureau chief, begs to differ.In this extraordinarily compelling account of the revolutions that railed Eastern Europe in 1989, he shows that American intransigence was only one of many factors that provoked world-shaking change. Meyer draws together breathtakingly vivid, on-the-ground accounts of the rise of the Solidarity movement in Poland, the stealth opening of the Hungarian border, the Velvet Revolution in Prague and the collapse of the infamous wall in Berlin. But the most important events, Meyer contends, occurred secretly, in the heroic stands taken by individuals in the thick of the struggle, leaders such as poet and playwright Vaclav Havel in Prague; the Baltic shipwright Lech Walesa; the quietly determined reform prime minister in Budapest, Miklos Nemeth; and the man who privately realized that his empire was already lost, and decided-with courage and intelligence to let it go in peace.

He became a monk in the Benedictine monastery of St Albans in 1217 and died there in June 1259. His name probably has nothing to do with Paris and, though he wrote in Latin and at times also in French, English seems to have been his native language. No evidence whatever of the events of Matthew Paris's life has survived outside his own mention of himself in his own writings. Fortunately he was by no means reticent, and so we know that he was at the royal court at Westminster in 1247, and with the king at Winchester in July 1251, and that he probably made other similar visits. We also know from his own account of the affair that in the summer of 1248 he travelled as far as Bergen in Norway, and that he had been sent to that country by the pope to advise and reform the monks of a Norwegian Benedictine monastery. Two contemporary fellow monks of his at St Albans mention Matthew Paris. The infirmarer, John of Wallingford, who wrote a short chronicle of his own based on Matthew's materials, refers the reader at one point to the chronicle of Matthew Paris of St Albans'. Elsewhere he mentions the Book of additamenta of St Albans a book known to be written by Matthew Paris. One other early mention shows that Matthew Paris's fame quickly extended beyond St Albans. This is a unique record of life and events in the 13th century with full-colour reproductions of over a hundred of the original manuscript decorations. Brother Matthew comes across, down all of the 750 years, as warm cheerful, lively and violentely prejudiced. --- From the Introduction and the back cover.. Trade Paperback. Very Good.

His parents were Boerries Baron Munchausen Moringen (1845-1931) from the Lower Saxon nobility of Munchausen from Apelern and his wife Clementine (1846-1913), born from the bounty of Lentz . After attending the convent school Ilfeld Boerries visited the Lyceum II in Hanover. He was the son of the Hanoverian State Rabbi Selig Gronemann , Sammy Gronemann well known. Sammy Grone man reported that Boerries, who visited the class above him, him against anti-Semitic fellow students in the subject, adopted, "Boerries, who had been a student a special fondness for Jewish things, including frequently attended the Friday evening service in the synagogue, would against anti-Semitic bullying to occur very energetic. " [1] was then Munchausen in Göttingen , Berlin and Munich to the study of law and political science. His first state examination ended with the oral examination in Celle, where he graduated in turn, together with Gronemann. As the examination was held on a Saturday and Gronemann write as an Orthodox Jew on the Sabbath did not want forged Munchausen as freshly baked Assessor for his friend's signature on the examination certificate. [2] documented later Munchausen subjects like philosophy and literature and gave 1898 the Musenalmanach Göttingen students [3] out. In 1899 he received his doctorate in Leipzig, Dr. iur. and then went back to Göttingen. In the First World War Munchausen was first officer (Lieutenant) in the Royal Saxon Guards Cavalry Regiment. Since 1916, he worked for the Foreign Department of the Army High Command . Volunteer work he was from 1914 to 1920 Chairman of the Federation of Lower Saxony homeland . [4] After the war he farmed his estate in Windischleuba, but also published in various journals. From 1925 Munchausen at the magazine people and race editor of the supplement in the word people . [5] Relationship to Judaism [ Edit ]His relationship to Judaism remained ambivalent Volkisch set, he looked endorsed the Jews as a "foreign people" whose participation in German cultural life, not him. This included friendly relations with the Jewish "nationally conscious" (Zionist-adjusted) from non-authors. Gronemann reported as Munchausen 1901 his ballad on a meeting organized by his organization of the Zionist Federation Hannover read [6] In this context Gronemann also reports of Munchausen's attitude toward the Jews at all: "Munchausen's career is the singer of Jewish power and Jewish heroes of the German nationalist bard understandably often quite dismissive assessment. After all, knows when one's attitude toward the Jews at that time, one can find rather that development to understand. He loved the old Judaism, rooted in the tradition of agreements between the ancient Maccabees. He detested the Assimilantentum and did not understand how a Jew could feel about themselves otherwise than as an aristocrat. " [7] moving with a glorification of ancient Judaism, in contrast to a negatively perceived in contemporary Judaism Munchausen quite in the mainstream of Christian ideas of his time. The Zionist newspaper Die Welt reported in its issue of 20 February 1903 on a positive manifestation of Munchausen on Zionism: "Straight ahead is clear and the always likable Boerries Baron von Munchausen on his mind. He called Zionism the awakening of a proud nobility of consciousness of a noble people. . He does not believe in its feasibility, because the plebeians will not join in the many plebeians " [8] Gronemann further reported Munchausen was in the world , the "Ghetto Songs" Morris Rosenfeld's (negative) reviewed, and has also stated his view of Judaism " In his view, the Jews of the world's oldest aristocratic dar. He did three noble, the nobility of the sword, which he reckoned himself, the merchant nobility (Fugger) and the Jews. Needle is in his view, when generations the same pace of life is respected and you beschäfftigt with the same things, so the same purpose in life and the same form of life remains. "That Should that all three of these groups, but especially to the Jews," in which even only an elite has remained the strongest and most resistant, as the weak elements are eliminated in the course of the centuries-long persecution of the Jewish community. " [9] In a letter dated 2nd December 1922 he remarked to his (non-Jewish) friend Levin Ludwig Schücking in a discussion of the Prague writer Leo Perutz on German-Jewish writers: "Maybe me but these are not all Jews of Vienna, also Hoffmansthal me an abomination. I feel a certain negative everywhere and do not know whether it is the moral necessity of the works or the character of the poet. Resists any case, my instinct against it, although I, as you know, not a practical anti-Semite am. " [10] Gronemann also reports that Munchausen was very echauffiert, as the Jewish author A. Halbert had dared his German style to improve. Next Gronemann quoted from a letter of Munchausen to him "as even the shadow of Hitler loomed," there wrote Boerries: "You are Davidsternler, I'm certainly not a swastika, but you will understand that it embarrasses me as a German writer, if hold Jews in German literature a leading position, but that could not tackle. What is unbearable for me stole somethin, is that they have this position of law. " [11] Anti-Semitic sentiments also came in an article in German Adelsblatt expressed, where he wrote in 1924: "A marriage between Aryans and Jews always produces a bastard". [5] It was clear Munchausen never as anti-Semites, but rather as a defender of the Germans. In 1929 he wrote to Ina Seidel : "As you know, I'm not anti-Semite, but I believe the Germans, however, protect the desperate defensive battle against an overgrowth of the Jewish spirit to have." Careers in National Socialism [ Edit ]After the takeover of the Nazis in May 1933 he was in the " cleaned " German Academy of Literature called, [5] abandoned after many former members of their membership or were forced to give up. A year later he was appointed to the Senate of the Academy. In October 1933, Münchhausen was among the 88 writers that the pledge faithful allegiance to Adolf Hitler signed. [5] After the death of President Hindenburg , he signed in August 1934 calling the cultural sector to the "referendum" in favor of a merger of the Reich President and Reich Chancellery . [5] During this time, Munchausen, also known in some texts on anti-Semitic sentiments and stated, among other things, that the proportion of Jews in the "deserters, criminals, convicts about a hundred to two hundred times as strong as the proportion of the population" was. He was energetic front against modern contemporary authors and argued against the left in Germany, such as Gottfried Benn . At his castle Windischleuba committed suicide in 1945 Borries von MunchhausenDuring the 1930s, drew back from Munchausen politics of the day, however, remained one of the Nazi literature policy on most sponsored. His attitude to the Nazi state was ambivalent. Although he emphasized in his published anthologies of texts by Jewish authors, on the other hand, he was also criticized by some hardliners in 1937 when he proscribed for some (Jewish and non-Jewish) writers began. He promoted the " degenerate "painter Conrad Felix Müller from contracts. In the final phase of the Second World War he was in August 1944 by Hitler in the Gottbegnadeten list entered the most important writers. [5] On 16 March 1945 ended his life by suicide Munchausen. Motives for this were in addition to the predictable defeat of Germany and the death of the only biological child (1934) and his wife on 16 January 1945. He is buried in the cemetery of Windischleuba. His castle Windischleuba was in the wake of land reform expropriated between 1945 and recovered after 1990 in favor of the state. It is today (using original parts of furniture) used as a hostel. Literary success [ Edit ]Munchausen had already during his studies first ballads and poems written. In 1897 he published his first volume of poems , which had some success. In 1900 he published his collection of ballads Judah [12] with illustrations by the renowned art deco illustrator Ephraim Moses Lilien . This sumptuous volume was used for decades in Jewish middle-class families as a representative of the Christian gift for socially relevant Confirmation Bar Mitzvah. There, he handled issues of the Torah in the same manner as elsewhere themes of Greek, Germanic and Indian mythology. Individual poems reveal a good knowledge not only of the Old Testament, but also of contemporary Jewish customs (eg the poem "Passover" in terms of Sedermals on the first night of Passover). In 1904, appeared in response to the Kishinev pogroms in Russia at that time his ballad "The Hesped-action", [13] which took the title of the traditional Jewish funeral oration (Hesped) for the victim party. From 1898 to 1922 he was the Göttingen Musenalmanach out, who campaigned for the release of mainly ballads and others in the first works of Agnes Miegel and Lulu Strauss und Torney appeared. Munchausen's ballads, which deal almost exclusively historical materials and take traditional forms, were in the Empire and the Weimar Republic is very popular. Often they were set to music and belonged to the canon of the youth movement of the time. After 1933, Munchausen published almost exclusively reprints of his earlier books and anthologies. Together with his cousin, the art historian Hans Albrecht of the Gabelentz-Linsingen (since 1930 "Captain of the Wartburg Castle"), he founded in the 1930s, the German poet academy in Eisenach , which is based on the Wartburg had. This was a serious rival to the Prussian Academy in Berlin. After the end of World War II found several poems Munchausen's inclusion in school text- books of the Federal Republic of Germany, in German poetry of modern times.

This study of the estrangement and reconciliation of the Churches of Rome and Canterbury deals with the intricate, difficult and often secret negotiations between them. The book begins at the Reformation and traces the tenuous history of the efforts of those who first tried to keep open the doors of understanding and the personalities who have made later attempts to bridge the gap. The first three hundred years of division are dealt with in general terms. The events of the 19th century altered the religious and social character of England so substantially that the book treats the period following 1830 in much greater detail. The promulgation on 21 November 1964 of the Vatican Decree of Ecumenism overtly committed the Roman Chatholic church to the union of Christendom by negotiating rather than by absorption of tis 'separated brethren' The earlier edition of this book, published in 1974, became accepted as an authorititative work.

GAO found that the revised approach: (1) focused on the collection and review of governmentwide data to identify systemic federal personnel problems; (2) involved the compilation of computerized databases; (3) included 1- or 2-day visits, over a 5-year period, to all 4,100 agency installations with 50 or more employees; (4) discontinued two of seven components and reduced assessment visits to 3,500 installations due to insufficient staff and funds; and (5) lacked specific, uniform criteria for the assessment visits. GAO also found that, of the nine agencies it contacted, personnel managers at: (1) two agencies were satisfied with the revised approach, citing better communication with OPM, less disruption of operations, and increased numbers of installations reviewed; and (2) seven agencies expressed concern about the revised approach, citing insufficient time for adequate assessment, limited feedback, and unsubstantiated findings.

'As a storyteller, I am infinitely more fascinated by what I see than by ideas, however profound.' In these elegant essays, he makes a passionate plea for the Roman Catholic Church to return to its great liturgical traditions-not per intellectual argument (although he is a deep, insightful thinker), but by inviting us to see what he sees. Born in Germany in 1951, Mosebach grew up before Vatican II, observing the Latin rite as a disinterested altar boy. Only after drifting away and then returning to church in adulthood did he realize how deeply the older forms had impressed themselves upon him and how much beauty and reverence had been swept away by reform. 'People of aesthetic sensibility, much scorned and suspect, are recipients of a terrible gift: they can infallibly discern the inner truth of what they see, of some process, of some idea, on the basis of its external form.' Reminiscent of Philip Sherrard in <i>The Sacred in Life and Art</i>, Mosebach applies his 'terrible gift' keenly as he examines subjects ranging from religious art, architecture, and modern hymns vs. Gregorian chant to the reverential acts of kneeling, standing, and walking. Accounts of his visit to Fontgombault Monastery and a chapter from a novel appear as well. Mosebach's voice resonates deeply with all who cherish that inseparable bond between the sacred and the beautiful. 210 pp., Ignatius Press, Bloomington, IN: AuthorHouse. Good.

The Crime of Punishment, originally published in 1966, addressed the critical issue of crime in America and how we punish criminals. Was the spread of violence in spite of our laws and courts or because of them and us? Dr. Menninger dissected the criminal justice system and concluded, "I suspect that all the crimes committed by all the jailed criminals do not equal in total social damage that of the crimes committed against them". Dr. Menninger, the esteemed psychiatrist, former chairman of the Board of Trustees of The Menninger Foundation in Topeka, and former senior consultant to the Stone-Brandel Center in Chicago, gave us a thoughtful manual 40 years ago that is highly relevant and seriously applicable to the criminal justice system today.

Hardcover. 1591023572 . 1 x 9.1 x 6 Inches; 263 pages; On May 14, 1825, one hundred mute, dispirited convict-laborers disembarked from steamers at Mount Pleasant, New York. They had been transported in chains nearly three hundred miles from Auburn Prison in upstate New York for the purpose of constructing a new maximum-security prison near a village on the Hudson called Sing Sing. Wielding pick axes and shovels, they worked under brutal supervision for five years, building the grim structure out of the rock underfoot, rusty scrap iron, and granite from a local quarry. Overseeing their slave labor was the sadistic Elam Lynds, formerly the warden in Auburn and soon to be the first master of Sing Sing. So begins Denis Brian's gripping history of one of America's most notorious prisons. For most of the 19th century Sing Sing was a bastion of inhumane treatment, where guards made every effort to break the spirit of inmates by a fanatic rule of silence enforced by shockingly brutal punishments and tortures—floggings with metal-tipped whips, the Chinese water cure, the Cage, the Crucifix, the Ball and Chain, and more. In 1891, Sing Sing witnessed its first electrocution, which was reportedly a terrible fiasco. This was followed by 613 additional electrocutions of both men and women. In addition, we learn that electricity genius Thomas Edison was a great proponent of this method. <P>Based on extensive research with original sources, Brian's narrative covers every period of the prison's checkered history, from the awful conditions of the 19th century to the relative improvements of the 20th century to today. In 1916, a dramatic turnaround occurred, when one of criminology's most progressive wardens, Lewis Lawes, took over. In command for twenty-one years, Lawes—who believed in reforming prisoners, not just punishing them—brought almost miraculous changes for the better. <P>During the 20th century Sing Sing held such infamous prisoners as members of Murder Incorporated, the Lonely Hearts Killers, Albert "the cannibal" Fish, Lucky Luciano, Louis Lepke, and Ethel and Julius Rosenberg. Brian recounts their stories and throws in "cameos" by such diverse visiting luminaries as Harry Houdini, Arthur Conan Doyle, Johnny Cash, John Cheever, and Mother Theresa. At the same time, it was the scene of daring, ingenious escapes, the first blood donations by prisoners, and inmates volunteering to be injected with syphilis in the interest of medical science. <P>Brian's story ends with a glimpse of Sing Sing today, based on first-hand visits, and interviews with the present warden, prison psychologists, doctors, and chaplains. <P>A must for fans of true crime, criminology, and urban American history, Brian's powerfully told story is both a dramatic page-turner and a definitive history. ., Prometheus Books, 2005, Bertrand Arthur William Russell, 3rd Earl Russell (1872-1970), was a philosopher, historian, logician, mathematician, advocate for social reform, and pacifist.
