Boken innehåller många exempel på hur alkoholen har fått förödande konsekvenser i enskilda människors liv och i vårt samhälle, men visar också en väg till hur vi som kristna kan bestämma oss för att vara en positiv faktor i denna fråga. Om författaren: Carl-Gustaf Severin började sin tjänst som evangelist 1973 och har varit i tjänst för Herren sedan dess. Förutom att resa runt i länder som Azerbadjan, Ukraina, Ryssland, Armenien, Kina, Mongoliet och Vietnam, arbetar Carl-Gustaf som bibellärare och han bor tillsammans med sin fru och sina barn i Uppsala. Det ämne som Carl-Gustaf behandlar i denna bok är mycket viktigt och jag är glad att han har skrivit den. Han har ett starkt engagemang i ett problem som idag så tragiskt ödelägger så många människors liv. Min önskan är att boken ska nå långt ut och vara till konkret hjälp för människor i alla åldrar och bakgrunder, att kunna fatta livsavgörande beslut. Beslut som påverkar både barn, familjer och hela församlingar. Vi behöver resa upp en ny ung och nykter generation i detta land! Ulf Ekman Boken är en vädjan. Severin tar bladet från munnen på ett djärvt men mycket varmhjärtat sätt. Med sin unika berättarförmåga, sina rika erfarenheter och sin outtröttliga evangelistiver blir han fullständigt övertygande. Jag hoppas att alla föräldrar är kloka nog att låta sina tonåringar läsa den. Daniel Viklund En författare måste beröra läsaren, berättaren måste ha ett ärende, en avsikt. Boken du har i din hand är skriven av en man som brinner, han menar allvar och har ett ärende! Boken har förutsättningar att bli en handbok för en nykter livsstil. Begripliga argument, konkreta råd i förebyggande syfte, reell vägledning för hjälp från ett missbruk. Detta till trots, bokens största förtjänst är att författaren tänder mig som läsare. Den kan komma att tända och väcka den stora gruppen anonyma nykterister till ett personligt ansvar. Sten-Gunnar Hedin Det är en viktig bok du håller i din hand. Det är en härlig uppmuntran till att leva ett nyktert liv i en tid som flödar av alkohol. Med en varm ton och helt utan moralistiska pekpinnar blandar Carl-Gustaf Severin skrämmande statistik, tragiska exempel, egna erfarenheter och goda argument. Men han presenterar också ett självupplevt alternativ till alkoholen. Ett liv tillsammans med den helige Ande. Sverige behöver en nykter kristenhet och nyktra församlingar som kan hjälpa människor som fastnat i alkoholens klor. Boken ger en god grund och mycket inspiration för fler nyktra beslut. Läs den och ge den vidare till fler. Den kan bokstavligen rädda människors liv. Lukas Berggren

Anders Zorn (1860–1920) är en av Sveriges mest kända och uppskattade konstnärer. Hösten 1899 målade Zorn en tavla i byn Noret utanför Mora. Målningen, som fick namnet Madonna, liknar inget annat av de tusentals konstverk Zorn utförde; det var den enda gången han målade en tavla med ett religiöst motiv och i denna målning lade han också in en bit av sin egen historia. Året därpå utförde Zorn etsningen Madonna med målningen som förebild.Den här boken handlar om Anders Zorn, konstverken Madonna och om ett speciellt exemplar av etsningen. Zorn brukade signera sina etsningar med blyerts, men detta exemplar signerade han med rödkrita alma från Zorn. I sökandet efter etsningens ursprung tonade en gåtfull historia fram. Det fanns brev från Zorn till Alma som handlade om en dotter som hette Anna. Bakom dimridåer fanns det en hemlighet.

Nikolai Frederik Severin Grundtvig (1783-1872), präst, skald och folkbildare, är tveklöst en av de mest inflytelserika personerna i Danmarks andliga liv. Men med undantag för några psalmer har Grundtvig inte översatts till svenska. Förrän nu, då Carl Axel Aurelius låter oss dela sin upptäckarglädje. I korthet kan Grundtvigs vision sägas bestå i att den uppståndne Frälsaren är »lyslevende» närvarande i sitt livgivande Ord vid dopet och nattvarden. Dessa tankar ger han år 1868 sin slutliga utformning i en artikelsamling med dogmatiska reflexioner över den kristna trons grund, kallad »Den christelige Børnelærdom» (Christian Dalsgaards porträtt på bokens framsida målas samma år). Här möter vi Grundtvigs tankar om dopförbundet, om den kristnes »Herre-byte», om trosbekännelsen och om Treenigheten, där sambandet mellan Gud som Fader, Son och Ande och människan som skapad till Guds bild och likhet beskrivs.

The American Southwest is one of the most important archaeological regions in the world, with many of the best-studied examples of hunter-gatherer and village-based societies. Research has been carried out in the region for well over a century, and during this time the Southwest has repeatedly stood at the forefront of the development of new archaeological methods and theories. Moreover, research in the Southwest has long been a key site of collaboration between archaeologists, ethnographers, historians, linguists, biological anthropologists, and indigenous intellectuals. This volume marks the most ambitious effort to take stock of the empirical evidence, theoretical orientations, and historical reconstructions of the American Southwest. Over seventy top scholars have joined forces to produce an unparalleled survey of state of archaeological knowledge in the region. Themed chapters on particular methods and theories are accompanied by comprehensive overviews of the culture histories of particular archaeological sequences, from the initial Paleoindian occupation, to the rise of a major ritual center in Chaco Canyon, to the onset of the Spanish and American imperial projects. The result is an essential volume for any researcher working in the region as well as any archaeologist looking to take the pulse of contemporary trends in this key research tradition.

This volume, the third in a series of James G. McDonald's edited diaries and papers, covers his work from 1945, with the formation of the Anglo-American Committee, through 1947, with the United Nations' decision to partition Palestine between Jews and Arabs. The "Anglo-American Committee of Inquiry Regarding the Problems of European Jewry and Palestine" was a group charged with finding a solution to the problem of European Jewish Refugees in the context of the increasingly unstable British Mandate in Palestine. McDonald's diaries and papers offer the most thorough personal account we have of the Committee and the politics surrounding it. His diary is part travelogue through the desolation of postwar Europe and a Middle East being transformed by new Jewish settlements and growing Arab intransigence. McDonald maintained discreet contact with Zionist and moderate Arab leaders throughout the Committee's hearings and deliberations. He was instrumental in the recommendation that 100,000 Jewish refugees enter Palestine and won President Truman's trust in order to counter attempts to nullify the report's recommendations.

Just before Israel emerged as a state in May 1948, key United States officials hesitated and backtracked. Undersecretary of State Robert Lovett told Moshe Sharett of the Jewish Agency for Palestine that the US had expected a peaceful transition to dual states in Palestine. Now, war between Jews and Arabs and a broader regional conflict loomed. Apart from the Cold War repercussions, another mass slaughter of Jews would roil the US in a presidential election year.James G. McDonald arrived in Israel soon after its birth, serving as US special representative and later as its first ambassador. McDonald continued his longstanding practice of dictating a diary, which remained for many decades in private hands. Here his letters, private papers, and exchanges with the US State Department and the White House are interspersed chronologically with his diary entries. Envoy to the Promised Land is a major new source for the history of US-Israeli relations.Brilliantly describing the tense climate in Israel almost day by day, McDonald offers an in-depth portrait of key Israeli politicians and analyzes the early stages of issues that still haunt the country today: the disputed boundaries of the new state, the status of Jerusalem, questions of peace with Arab states and Israel's security, Israel's relationship with the United Nations, and the problem of Palestinian refugees.These papers and diaries from 1948 to 1951 follow the widely praised Advocate for the Doomed (IUP), Refugees and Rescue (IUP), and To the Gates of Jerusalem (IUP). Together these four volumes significantly revise the ways we view the Holocaust, its aftermath, and the early history of Israel.

The private diary of James G. McDonald (1886–1964) offers a unique and hitherto unknown source on the early history of the Nazi regime and the Roosevelt administration's reactions to Nazi persecution of German Jews. Considered for the post of U.S. ambassador to Germany at the start of FDR's presidency, McDonald traveled to Germany in 1932 and met with Hitler soon after the Nazis came to power. Fearing Nazi intentions to remove or destroy Jews in Germany, in 1933 he became League of Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and sought aid from the international community to resettle outside the Reich Jews and others persecuted there. In late 1935 he resigned in protest at the lack of support for his work.This is the eagerly awaited first of a projected three-volume work that will significantly revise the ways that scholars and the world view the antecedents of the Holocaust, the Shoah itself, and its aftermath.

New evidence presented in Refugees and Rescue challenges widely held opinions about Franklin D. Roosevelt's views on the rescue of European Jews before and during the Holocaust. The struggles of presidential confidant James G. McDonald, who resigned as League of Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in 1935, and his allies to transfer many of the otherwise doomed are disclosed here for the first time. Although McDonald's efforts as chairman of FDR's advisory committee on refugees from May 1938 until nearly the end of the war were hampered by the pervasive antisemitic attitudes of those years, fears about security, and changing presidential wartime priorities, tens of thousands did find haven. McDonald's 1935–1936 diary entries and the other primary sources presented here offer new insights into these conflicts and into Roosevelt's inconsistent attitudes toward the "Jewish question" in Europe. Following the lauded Advocate for the Doomed (IUP, 2007), this is the second of a projected three-volume work that will significantly revise views of the Holocaust, its antecedents, and its aftermath.

On 20 September 1066 Harald’s fleet of three hundred ships sails up the Ouse, confident of success, but a prophetic dream warns Thorgils that Duke William has duped his allies and the Norsemen are heading for disaster at Stamford Bridge. Thorgils embarks upon a race against time to reach and warn his liege lord before the battle begins. But will Odinn’s devout follower really be able to anticipate what fate has decreed and save the heritage of his Viking ancestors?

Each essay in this volume discusses some prevalent views in contemporary philosophy of mind by confronting them with Wittgensteinian ideas. Part one addresses the views of Quine and Dennett, including functionalism, eliminative materialism, and the current debate about consciousness. Part two assembles essays that focus each on one particularpsychological concept, namely thinking, imagining, sensation, knowledge and reason.

This book offers a detailed account and discussion of Ludwig Wittgenstein’s philosophy of mathematics. In Part I, the stage is set with a brief presentation of Frege’s logicist attempt to provide arithmetic with a foundation and Wittgenstein’s criticisms of it, followed by sketches of Wittgenstein’s early views of mathematics, in the Tractatus and in the early 1930s. Then (in Part II), Wittgenstein’s mature philosophy of mathematics (1937-44) is carefully presented and examined. Schroeder explains that it is based on two key ideas: the calculus view and the grammar view. On the one hand, mathematics is seen as a human activity — calculation — rather than a theory. On the other hand, the results of mathematical calculations serve as grammatical norms. The following chapters (on mathematics as grammar; rule-following; conventionalism; the empirical basis of mathematics; the role of proof) explore the tension between those two key ideas and suggest a way in which it can be resolved. Finally, there are chapters analysing and defending Wittgenstein’s provocative views on Hilbert’s Formalism and the quest for consistency proofs and on Gödel’s incompleteness theorems.

The late fifteenth-century Spanish masterpiece Celestina is one of the world's classics. In this important study, Dorothy Sherman Severin investigates how Fernando de Rojas' work in dialogue, which parodies earlier genres, is a precursor of the modern novel. In Celestina, the hero Calisto parodies the courtly lover, the heroine Melibea lives through classical examples and popular students' knowledge, the bawd and go-between Celestina deals a blow to the world of wisdom literature, and Melibea's father Pleberio gives his own gloss on the lament. There is also a fatal clash between two literary worlds, that one of the self-styled courtly lover (the fool) and the prototype picaresque world of the Spanish Bawd and her mentors (the rogues). The voices of Celestina are parodic, satiric, ironic and occasionally tragic, and it is in their discourse that the dialogue world of the modern novel is born. In order to make this book accessible to a wider English-speaking readership, quotations from the text are accompanied by English translations, mainly from the seventeenth-century English version by James Mabbe.
