Mother Mary Teresa Bojaxhiu (born Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu, 26 August 1910 - 5 September 1997), honored in the Catholic Church as Saint Teresa of Calcutta, was an Albanian-Indian Roman Catholic nun and missionary. She was born in Skopje (now the capital of North Macedonia), then part of the Kosovo Vilayet of the Ottoman Empire. After living in Skopje for eighteen years, she moved to Ireland and then to India, where she lived for most of her life. In 1950, Teresa founded the Missionaries of Charity, a Roman Catholic religious congregation that had over 4,500 nuns and was active in 133 countries in 2012. The congregation manages homes for people who are dying of HIV/AIDS, leprosy and tuberculosis. She was canonized on 4 September 2016, and the anniversary of her death (5 September) is her feast day. Father Brian Kolodiejchuk, MC, Ph.D. was the advocate for Mother Teresa of Calcutta in the cause for her canonization, and director of the Mother Teresa Center. He edited and wrote the commentary for the book Mother Teresa: Come Be My Light. Father Kolodiejchuk's 20-year association with Mother Teresa began in 1977 when he joined a new group of contemplative brothers she was then starting. He later joined the priestly branch of Mother Teresa's religious family, the Missionaries of Charity Fathers, at the time of their foundation in 1984. He was ordained to the priesthood in June 1985 in the Ukrainian Catholic Church of St. John the Baptist in Newark, New Jersey, USA, by the late Metropolitan-Archbishop of Winnipeg, Maxim Hermaniuk, C.Ss.R. In March 1999 he served as Mother Teresa's advocate in advancing the cause of her beatification and canonization. He was appointed director of the Mother Teresa Center, which is an extension of the office for the cause of canonization of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, in June 2004. This historic work reveals the inner spiritual life of one of the most beloved and important religious figures in history--Mother Teresa. During her lifelong service to the poorest of the poor, Mother Teresa became an icon of compassion to people of all religions; her extraordinary contributions to the care of the sick, the dying, and thousands of others nobody else was prepared to look after has been recognized and acclaimed throughout the world. Little is known, however, about her own spiritual heights or her struggles. This collection of her writing and reflections, almost all of which have never been made public before, sheds light on Mother Teresa's interior life in a way that reveals the depth and intensity of her holiness for the first time. Compiled and presented by Fr. Brian Kolodiejchuk, M.C., who knew Mother Teresa for twenty years and is the postulator for her cause for sainthood and director of the Mother Teresa Center, Mother Teresa brings together letters she wrote to her spiritual advisors over decades. A moving chronicle of her spiritual journey, including moments, indeed years, of utter desolation , these letters reveal the secrets she shared only with her closest confidants. She emerges as a classic mystic whose inner life burned with the fire of charity and whose heart was tested and purified by an intense trial of faith, a true dark night of the soul. "If I ever b.

Trade paperback. Trade paperback (US). Glued binding. [14], 376, [6] p. This paperback edition contains a new Appendis on Secret Files, Secret Record Systems. From Wikipedia: "John Edgar Hoover (January 1, 1895 May 2, 1972) was the first Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of the United States. Appointed direct…or of the Bureau of Investigation predecessor to the FBI in 1924, he was instrumental in founding the FBI in 1935, where he remained director until his death in 1972 at age 77. Hoover is credited with building the FBI into a larger crime-fighting agency, and with instituting a number of modernizations to police technology, such as a centralized fingerprint file and forensic laboratories. Late in life and after his death Hoover became a controversial figure, as evidence of his secretive actions became known. His critics have accused him of exceeding the jurisdiction of the FBI. He used the FBI to harass political dissenters and activists, to amass secret files on political leaders, and to collect evidence using illegal methods. Hoover consequently amassed a great deal of power and was in a position to intimidate and threaten sitting Presidents." From Wikipedia: " Athan George Theoharis (born August 3, 1936) is an American historian, professor of history emeritus at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. As well as his extensive teaching career, he is noteworthy as an expert on the Federal Bureau of Investigation, J. Edgar Hoover, and U.S. intelligence agencies, having written and edited a large number of books on these and related subjects. Born in Milwaukee, Theoharis earned all of his degrees from the University of Chicago: two bachelor's degrees in political science in 1956 and 1957, a master's degree in 1958 and his Ph.D. in history in 1965. The scope of his writings has extended to Cold War history, anti-communism in America, civil rights and the politics of government secrecy. Theoharis's debut book was Anatomy of Anti-Communism (1969), which was quickly followed with the publication of his revised PhD dissertation, directed under the supervision of Walter Johnson, titled The Yalta Myths: An Issue in U.S. Politics, 1945-1955 (1970). This was followed by his influential Seeds of Repression: Harry S. Truman and the Origins of McCarthyism (1971), and his influential article "Roosevelt and Truman on Yalta: In the mid-1970s, because of his work exploring the Truman and Eisenhower loyalty and security programs as well as his articles on FBI wiretapping, Theoharis was asked by the Church Committee to conduct research at presidential libraries. The Church Committee-the Senate select committee to study governmental operations with respect to intelligence activities-was formed by Senator Frank Church after Nixon administration, FBI, and CIA abuses became public. First without and then with qualified security clearances, Theoharis examined some presidential records relating to the FBI and White House at the Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson presidential libraries. He also examined some FBI records for the Church Committee at FBI headquarters. Following this work, and changes made to the Freedom of Information Act in the 1970s, in 1976 Theoharis became a specialist in the history of the FBI. He focused on FBI records procedures, rather than individual FBI targets, leading to discoveries or further understandings of the complexities and uses of FBI office files (as opposed to "official" FBI files), the JUNE mail file, the National Security Electronic Surveillance Index Card File, Surreptitious Entries file, COMPIC file, and COMRAP file.

Añadir al carritoHardcover. Condición: Good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. xviii, 766 pages. Some front board weakness noted. Some cover wear and soiling. Includes Preface; Part One: The American Setting (with chapters on The People, and The Land); Part Two: Principles, Traditions, and Institutions, (with chapters on Fundamentals of th…e American Political System), The Machinery of Government, Democracy, or Majority Rule and Minority Right; State and Nation; The Welfare State and Rugged Individualism; Liberty and Order; The Tradition of Change and Reform; Church and State; School and Society; Part Three: America as a World Power: Peace and War, Isolation, Intervention and World Power. Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) was an American historian. As one of the most active and prolific liberal intellectuals of his time, with 40 books and 700 essays and reviews, he helped define modern liberalism in the United States. In the 1940s and 1950s, Commager was noted for his campaigns against McCarthyism and other abuses of government power. He opposed the Vietnam War and was an outspoken critic of Presidents Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Ronald Reagan and what he viewed as their abuses of presidential power. His principal scholarly works were his 1936 biography of Theodore Parker; his intellectual history The American Mind: An Interpretation of American Thought and Character Since the 1880s (1950), which focuses on the evolution of liberalism in the American political mind from the 1880s to the 1940s, and his intellectual history Empire of Reason: How Europe Imagined and America Realized the Enlightenment (1977). A compilation of writings that illuminate the social and political ideas of American thought. This book is directed to that growing body of men and women who are concerned about the complex problems that confront our society today and that, so often, seem strange and baffling. It is designed to make clear the historical setting of those problems and our long historical experience with them, in the firm belief that an understanding of the background will illuminate the foreground, and that knowledge of the past will guide in the future. Derived from a Kirkus review: Important reading in these days in which our concept of Americanism is undergoing some rational and irrational bruiting about, in this fine anthology complied with commentary by the noted historian, critic and commentator. Selections from Americans past and present -- professional essayists, journalists, novelists; statesmen and Presidents; official documents and Congressional debates -- are grouped to serve as a primer in American ideals and methods of solving problems, dealing with the new and adapting the old. Part I examines the people, their character and variety, and the land itself; Part II -- the most voluminous section -- treats American principles, traditions and institutions -- the fundamentals of our political system; the machinery of government; the concept of democracy; the relation between state and nation; the debate concerning the "welfare state"; liberty and order; change and reform; the relation between church and state; schools and society: Part III includes views on America's role in peace and war, as a world power. In addition to inclusions from Mr. Commager's own writings there is a well-balanced group of selections -- from Bradford to Lilienthal, de Crevecoeur to Benet, Mark Twain, Webster, Lincoln, F.D.R., Mencken, etc. Throughout the emphasis is placed on vitality of idea as well as an implied organic definition of Americanism to which a free and healthy scepticism, freedom of expression and intelligent protest are essential. Anthology plus American market.

Hardcover. Presumed first edition/first printing. 216 p. Illustrations. Index. Insight into the working methods, theories, and personal life of one of America's most revered architects--Louis Kahn--based on correspondence, published here for the first, between Kahn and associate Anne Tyng. The letters reveal Kahn's deeply held f…eelings about architecture and his fellow architects, particularly Anne Tyng. 120 illustrations. After maintaining a professional and personal relationship with Louis Kahn for seven years, Anne Griswold Tyng departed in the autumn of 1953 for Rome. During her year in Italy, where their daughter was born, Kahn wrote to Tyng, and his correspondence to her is published here for the first time. The fifty-three letters document not only their intense private relationship, but also give a vibrant account of the experience of a brilliant young architect on the cusp of achieving international renown. Anne Tyng's introduction and epilogue frame Kahn's letters within the contexts of both their personal histories. Tyng's account of her own extraordinary life--growing up as the child of missionaries in China, fleeing political turmoil on the eve of the Communist Revolution--although factual, often reads like adventure fiction, and reveals Tyng to be a gifted writer. She also records the sequence of Kahn's and her work together, including their collaboration on such seminal works as the Yale University Art Gallery and the Trenton Bathhouse, as well as her independent architectural projects. Kahn's letters, together with Anne Tyng's intimate essays, vividly capture the professional politics of the modern architecture scene--such prominent figures as Philip Johnson, Eero and Aline Saarinen, Vincent Scully, George Howe, Pier Luigi Nervi, and Robert Venturi make appearances--and illuminate the creative processes at work in the early stages of Kahn's emergence as one of the most influential architects of the twentieth century. Very good in very good dust jacket. Very slight wear and soiling noted.

'Henri Estienne's monumental edition of Plato, the first complete edition, which for two centuries remained the indispensable instrument of Platonic studies; to this day its pagination is universally accepted as the standard system of reference to the text of Plato' (Schreiber). The 'Stephanus' reference to chapters and paragraphs, still used in scholarship today, refers to the arrangement devised by Henri Estienne for this edition. This landmark edition of Plato's collected works ranks among the most remarkable and influential achievements of the eminent scholar-printer Henri EstienneII. He established the Greek text through meticulous comparison of the 1513 Aldine edition, the Basel printings of 1534 and 1566, and the 1531 Louvain edition of the Laws, supplementing these with manuscript sources. Maintaining his exacting scholarly principles, Estienne emended corrupt passages through conjecture, but printed the latter in the margins, clearly setting them apart from the text proper; he also rejected Ficino's Latin translation and arranged for a fresh one by Jean de Serres, which he carefully revised. Serres, a committed Protestant, prefaced the three volumes with individual dedicatory letters addressed to ElizabethI of England, JamesVI of Scotland, and the Canton of Berne. 'Of all Estienne's publications the Plato is perhaps the most lavishly decorated: besides numerous woodcut initials, culs-de-lampe, and a striking, elaborate title-device, it is the only publication in which Estienne used his entire series of decorative headpieces. Although this sumptuous Plato further contributed to Estienne's financial ruin, it is also (after the Thesaurus) the work which most contributed to his fame' (Schreiber). Both Renouard and Brunet note that copies in good condition are rare, while Dibdin writes: 'This work has long been considered as a very valuable acquisition to the libraries of the learned, and for its magnificence and variety of critical material must be always held in estimation'. USTC 450772; GLN 15-16 2690; Adams, P1439; Brunet IV, 695; Dibdin II, p.134-6; Renouard 145-6, 1; Schreiber 201. Language: Greek.

Buchanan's celebrated Psalmorum Davidis paraphrasis poetica, first published in 1565/66, transformed the Hebrew Psalter into polished classical Latin metres, adapting b…iblical poetry to the idiom of Horace and Virgil. Conceived as both devotional literature and rhetorical exercise, the work became one of the most widely used Neo-Latin school texts in Europe.Buchanan was one of the leading intellectual figures of 16th-century Europe: tutor to Mary, Queen of Scots (1542-1587) and later to James VI (1566-1625), an internationally celebrated Latin poet, and an influential historian and political thinker. His contemporaries hailed him as the foremost poet of his age.The text from Buchanan is printed in italics, whereas the elaborate notes, printed in roman type, take the form of printed glosses surrounding the text. The work proved influential, it was reprinted in Edinburgh in 1699 and mined by later editors for pedagogical purposes.With the bookplate of the Library of the Monastery of St. Michael of Belmont, near Hereford, mounted on the front pastedown, a manuscript annotation on the verso of the final blank leaf, now largely illegible. The binding shows some rubbing, and one clasp is missing, some damp staining and browning throughout.
