The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

The Acts of the Apostles, traditionally attributed to Luke and planned as a continuation of his gospel, is one of the most interesting and important texts to have come down from the ancient world. It is the only account we have of how a Jewish sect began to evolve into the new religion of Christianity. In Acts we see from a unique perspective how the Roman Empire operated on the ground. The skilfully written narrative combines elements of history, biography and adventure story. Its complex background encompasses the Hebrew Bible, the accounts of the life and death of Jesus of Nazareth that formed the gospels, and the literature of classical Greece. Paul, the hero of Acts, has three identities: Jewish, Greek, and Roman. Students of classical subjects often know little of the Bible, and readers of the Bible may be unfamiliar with the Graeco-Roman setting of the New Testament. This edition aims to provide accessible guidance through the text. Whatever view is taken of its historical accuracy, and whatever religious or other beliefs the reader brings to it, Acts has a compelling ability to hold our attention. Here more than anywhere else the biblical and classical worlds intersect.

This book examines the establishment (in 1880) and dissolution (in 1903) of the Victoria University as a federal institution for the North of England. It was a ‘disruptor’, an experiment intended to meet growing demand for high level study in the industrial cities of the North and to provide a regional organisation for higher education. The experiment ended in failure and has never been repeated; rather, it heralded the emergence of independent civic universities that would prove so influential in the following years. As well as considering the federalisation legacy, the book also identifies important areas of activity where the Victoria University broke new ground, including innovations in the relationship between teaching and examining, links with schools and other education providers and the funding of higher education. The book is based on original archival research and will appeal to historians of education and more generally to social historians.

Den mullrika komposten – trädgårdens svarta guld Bland det bästa du kan göra för din trädgård eller odlingslott är att satsa på en välfungerande kompost. Komposten är helt enkelt oslagbar för att kunna ladda jorden med energi och i förlängningen kunna njuta av en prunkande trädgård och få rikliga skördar. Men vad är egentligen skillnaden mellan jord och kompost? Vilka växter är bra att kompostera och vilka ska man helst undvika? Hur startar man en kompost? Och hur kan man använda den färdiga komposten? I den här boken hittar du svaren och allt du behöver veta för att, steg för steg, förvandla trädgårdsavfall till näringsrik kompost. Läs om livet i komposten och hur ett år med kompostering kan se ut. Och om tillfredsställelsen i att ta hand om den egna trädgårdens växtrester. Du får dessutom en beskrivning på hur du kan bygga din egen trefackskompost och pimpa den med klätterväxter, pumpor och lampor så att den blir en vacker del av trädgården. Taylors kompost är en rikt illustrerad bok där John generöst delar med sig sina bästa metoder för att lyckas åstadkomma en fungerande kompost. I boken utgår han från en trefackskompost. I de tre facken fyller han på färskt material i en möghög (en hög med växtavfall), som byggs om till en lasagnekompost som i sin tur byggs om till en vilande kompost. Den färdiga komposten används sedan på smarta sätt i trädgården och löser de flesta problem som kan uppstå i odlandet.
