Free Download Anne Pierce, "Woodrow Wilson and Harry Truman: Mission and Power in American Foreign Policy"
English | 2007 | pages: 320 | ISBN: 1412806631 | PDF | 17,6 mb
The modern world derives part of its meaning and definition from the foreign policy formulations of Woodrow Wilson and Harry Truman. These presidents viewed the enhancement of American power and the invigoration of American principles as the only response to modem problems such as imperialism, bolshevism, fascism and "total war." The fact that Europe and Asia had submitted to the disastrous consequences of their ideas meant that we had to project and promote our democratic alternative. If we were to live up to our mission and our character, we had to accept radically new responsibilities. This work reveals the important relationship between these presidents and explores the reverential, yet revolutionary relationship each had with broader American traditions.

Free Download Elizabeth Dimock, "Women, Mission and Church in Uganda: Ethnographic encounters in an age of imperialism, 1895-1960s "
English | ISBN: 0367275341 | 2019 | 214 pages | EPUB | 1168 KB
This volume recounts the experiences of female missionaries who worked in Uganda in and after 1895. It examines the personal stories of those women who were faced with a stubbornly masculine administration representative of a wider masculine administrative network in Westminster and other outposts of the British Empire. Encounters with Ugandan women and men of a range of ethnicities, the gender relations in those societies and relations between the British Protectorate administration and Ugandan Christian women are all explored in detail. The analysis is offset by the author’s experience of working in Uganda at the close of British Protectorate status in the 1960s, employed by the Uganda Government Education Department in a school founded by the Uganda Mission.

Free Download E J David Kramer, "Theologian of the Resurrection: N.T. Wright’s Eschatology and Mission Theology "
English | ISBN: 9004701850 | 2024 | 344 pages | PDF | 3 MB
In this study, N.T. Wright’s exceptional work on the resurrection is shown to form the centre of his eschatology and mission theology. Wright’s emphasis on the historicity of Jesus’ resurrection for the gospel’s missional encounter with the West is highlighted. By drawing out the significance of the resurrection for Wright’s eschatological narrative, the author sets the stage for Wright’s mission theology, focusing on the church, evangelism, political theology, and eschatological ethics. Wright’s emphasis on doing history is explained in terms of the theological conviction that, since God acted in history, historical study has become a sphere of missional engagement.

Free Download The Freja Mission By R. Lundin, G. Haerendel, S. Grahn (auth.), Rickard Lundin, Gerhard Haerendel, Sven Grahn (eds.)

Freja is a joint Swedish and German satellite, launched on October 6, 1992 and orbiting at 600–1750 km, covering the lower part of the auroral acceleration region. It has been designed to provide high-resolution measurements (both temporal and spatial) of auroral plasma characteristics. The high telemetry rate, together with the 15 Mbyte distributed on-board memories allow Freja to resolve meso and micro-scale phenomena in the 100 m range for particles and 1–10 m range for electric and magnetic fields. The UV imager resolves auroral structures of 1 km size at a time resolution of one image every 6 s. The novel plasma instruments are orders of magnitude better than any that have gone before. The Freja Mission is about the scientific objectives, instruments and platform itself. Detailed descriptions are given of the instrumentation and the first data acquired. It is one of the very few books to contain such material in a single volume, relating the instruments’ design with their in-flight characteristics. For space engineers and other researchers interested in space science.
