The Search for Truth to Reach Heaven

The Pendulum of Extremes Dilemma

Power is perhaps the most basic concept in the study of world politics, but also the most elusive. Power in World Politics substantially enhances and broadens our understanding of power by bringing together accomplished scholars from varied theoretical perspectives to explore the sources and forms of power in a changing world.

Jack S. Levy, Board of Governor's Professor, Rutgers University, USA

Drawing from a variety of International Relations’ traditions and other fields and disciplines, this book contains some of the most cutting-edge and illuminating scholarship on power yet. It is no exaggeration to say, therefore, that after reading this book you will never think about power in simplistic and one-dimensional ways.

Emanuel Adler, Andrea and Charles Bronfman Professor of Israeli Studies, University of Toronto, Canada 

Power is one of the most important, but also most ambiguous, concepts in Political Science and, more specifically, International Relations; this fine collection of original essays by a mixture of senior figures in the field and members of the new generation of scholars may not eliminate these ambiguities altogether, but it does illuminate the concept more effectively than any other book published this century. A fine achievement.

"In brief, I think the book is wonderful! … It's pedagogically excellent … The examples are very thoughtfully chosen, anticipating possible misunderstandings and illuminating both the main idea and some subtleties … The emphasis on recursion is unusual and valuable … It's rich in topics not often, if at all, treated effectively in texts at this level … Again, I think this book is terrific …"-Harriet Pollatsek, Professor of Mathematics and Julia and Sarah Ann Adams Professor of Science, Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley, Massachusetts, USA

'For a variety of reasons we need to know more about the religious lives of young people. This book tells us why, in addition to supplying - in abundance - facts, figures, examples and explanations about a complex but fascinating subject. I recommend it very warmly.' Grace Davie, University of Exeter, UK  ’This volume is the first comprehensive international perspective - rooted in the sociology of religion - to explore the complexities of religion and youth, and take account of geographical and organisational contexts. ... The Church needs continually to find a wisdom that discerns the many ways of engaging with youth culture and generational change, ways that are wise, and are practised both generously and courageously. In this remarkable book, the editors highlight the changes and challenges posed by contemporary youth culture.’ Church Times  'Editors Sylvia Collins-Mayo and Pink Dandelion have collected diverse and stimulating contributions on topics ranging from British trance clubbing to European Protestant confirmation students and teenage witchcraft.' Religion Watch  '... this edited book offers a plethora of perspectives on the state of play at the interface of sociology, religion and young people. ... it is a book to be commended, especially for the generally intelligent non-specialist reader, and for students looking for a balanced gateway into sociological reflections on religion and young people.' Youth & Policy  'The eye-catching cover doesn't disappoint when you start to read this book. It is a collection of high-quality chapters written by significant scholars in the field and is published in association with the British Sociological Association Sociology of Religion Study Group. ... The book raises questions and issues that need further thought, research and debate. This is perhaps the most valuable aspect of the collection. Some of the highlights in this respect are: identifying some of the positive influences of religion on young people; young

Die Ilias gilt als die &auml;lteste Dichtung des Abendlandes. Homer verarbeitete
nicht nur eigenes Gedankengut, sondern sch&ouml;pfte auch aus &Uuml;berlieferungen
m&uuml;ndlicher Dichtungbis in die kretisch-mykenische Zeit. Dabei stellte er
das Tradierte - einem einheitlichen Plan folgend - in einen g&auml;nzlich neuen
Zusammenhang in komplexer Gliederung und Ordnung. Das Epos veranschaulicht
das sittliche Ma&szlig; halten, die Selbstbeherrschung, als h&ouml;chste Form menschlichen
Handelns und gibt Hinweise f&uuml;r das richtige Verhalten gegen&uuml;ber den G&ouml;ttern.
