Nasir al-Din Tusi, the renowned Shi'i scholar of the 13th century, produced a range of writings in different fields of learning under Ismaili patronage and later under the Mongols. This is a new English translation of his Rawda-yi taslim - the single most important Ismaili text from the Alamut period. Here the Persian and English texts are published together for the first time to produce a work of enormous value to students of Islamic theology and philosophy. The book contains an introduction by Professor Hermann Landolt and philosophical commentary by Professor Christian Jambet, who has produced a French translation of this text.

The Palgrave Handbook of the History of Human Sciences
English | 2022 | ISBN: 9811672547 | 1930 Pages | PDF (True) | 27 MB
The Palgrave Handbook of the History of Human Sciences offers a uniquely comprehensive and global overview of the evolution of ideas, concepts and policies within the human sciences. Drawn from histories of the social and psychological sciences, anthropology, the history and philosophy of science, and the history of ideas, this collection analyses the health and welfare of populations, evidence of the changing nature of our local communities, cities, societies or global movements, and studies the way our humanness or 'human nature' undergoes shifts because of broader technological shifts or patterns of living. This Handbook serves as an authoritative reference to a vast source of representative scholarly work in interdisciplinary fields, a means of understanding patterns of social change and the conduct of institutions, as well as the histories of these 'ways of knowing' probe the contexts, circumstances and conditions which underpin continuity and change in the way we count, analyse and understand ourselves in our different social worlds. It reflects a critical scholarly interest in both traditional and emerging concerns on the relations between the biological and social sciences, and between these and changes and continuities in societies and conducts, as 21st century research moves into new intellectual and geographic territories, more diverse fields and global problematics.

Charles B. Handy, "The New Alchemists: How Visionary People Make Something Out of Nothing "
English | ISBN: 0091799953 | 2004 | 258 pages | PDF | 13 MB
The world needs new ideas, now products, new kinds of associations and institutions, new initiatives, new art and new designs. But these new things seldom come from established organisations. They come from individuals - the New Alchemists. What drives people to create something from nothing? Is it ambition, the need for self-fulfilment? Is it to do with money, power, or even genes? Is there a mood of the time that encourages people? Can anyone do it? Charles Handy has talked to a range of extraordinary characters - from Trevor Baylis and Richard Branson to Jane Tewson and Terence Conran. And Elizabeth Handy has used her new style of composite portraits to highlight aspects of all the different alchemists in their particular environments. The New Alchemists is a fascinating and inspirational investigation into the creative and entrepreneurial process.

The Mountain Kept the Fallen: A Look Into Alpine Warfare and the Italian Front of World War I by Bryan Sims
English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0B6WS3ND4 | 190 pages | MOBI | 0.68 Mb
This front stretched the entire length of the border between Italy and Austria, which is over 600 kilometers (nearly 400 miles) long, starting at the Swiss border and ending in the Adriatic Sea. There was snowfall throughout the entire year on the high Alpine sectors, where the armies lived and fought. Like the situation on the other fronts, a narrow neutral zone separated the opposing troops. An Italian soldier was looking at a field cap that was floating above the enemy trench as he reflected on the circumstances that led to the carnage and said to himself, "we put each other to death in such a callous manner because we believe that anything that is outside the realm of our own lives does not exist... If I knew anything about that poor boy if I could ever hear him speak, or if I could read the letters he carries in his breast, then and only then would it seem wrong to kill him in such a manner."
