Sweden's Pandemic Experiment

Sweden's Pandemic Experiment
Sigurd Bergmann, "Sweden's Pandemic Experiment "
English | ISBN: 1032266716 | 2022 | 332 pages | PDF | 5 MB
This book considers Sweden's pandemic management which differed so significantly from much of the rest of the world: it provoked intense and wide-reaching interest, curiosity and criticism. Trans-disciplinary Swedish authors from the humanities, life sciences, social sciences, and cultural studiesuse a variety of tools to mine deeper into some of the central elements and dimensions in their country's pandemic management such as understandings of freedom, the execution of power, denialism, exceptionalism, patriotism, the role of expertise and trust in the national state to give a deeper understanding of Sweden's decisions, failures, successes, and the lessons to be learned.

Survival and Success on Medieval Borders Cistercian Houses in Medieval Scotland and Pomerania from the Twelfth to the Late Fou

Survival and Success on Medieval Borders Cistercian Houses in Medieval Scotland and Pomerania from the Twelfth to the Late Fou
Survival and Success on Medieval Borders: Cistercian Houses in Medieval Scotland and Pomerania from the Twelfth to the Late Fourteenth Century By Emilia Jamroziak
2011 | 234 Pages | ISBN: 2503533078 | PDF | 2 MB
This comparative study analyses Cistercian strategies on the northern and north-eastern frontiers of medieval Europe. Through case studies of six houses in Pomerania and Neumark (Kołbacz, Marienwalde, and Himmelstadt) and on the Scottish-English border (Melrose, Dundrennan, and Holm Cultram), the author traces the development of social networks around these monasteries within their own regions and across borders, and explores the importance of the international Cistercian networks for communities located in these politically sensitive areas. Very different socio-economic conditions in the regions under discussion resulted in quite different strategies of land accumulation by Cistercian monasteries in Scotland and Pomerania, which in turn had a lasting impact on their relationships with their neighbours. The author also examines the role of these abbeys in wider ecclesiastical politics and in relation to the key issues of the time: church reform and the expectations of the order's lay patrons and benefactors. In the fourteenth century, all of the abbeys experienced war, violence, and long-term instability. Their responses to these threats and difficulties are significant for our understanding of monastic strategies in hostile environments. Above all, this study shows how a Cistercian model was adapted to fit the complex political, cultural, and ethnic contexts of the southern Baltic, Northern England, and Scotland.

Sun Ra: The Immeasurable Equation - Collected Poetry and Prose By James L. Wolf, Harttnut Geerken
2005 | 529 Pages | ISBN: 3833426594 | PDF | 28 MB
Sun Ra's poetry has hardly been read, much less studied or argued over, within the realms ofrecorded scholarship and literature. Still largely ignored by fans of Ra's music and even less widely disseminated than his Saturn records, its publication was intended for the "elite" of Sun Ra' s world. The tone-scientistmusician, the new Arkestra recruit, the odd (very odd) Brother/fan who really dug the concert teasers/sermons about altered destiny and other worlds. These poems were addressed to his kindred spirits, his Angelic Brothers, the few."
