Footprints of War - Militarized Landscapes in Vietnam (Paperback): David Andrew Biggs Footprints of War - Militarized Landscapes in Vietnam (Paperback)
David Andrew Biggs; Foreword by Paul S. Sutter; Series edited by Paul S. Sutter
R719 Discovery Miles 7 190 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

When American forces arrived in Vietnam, they found themselves embedded in historical village and frontier spaces already shaped by past conflicts. American bases and bombing targets followed spatial and political logics influenced by the footprints of previous wars in central Vietnam, and these militarized landscapes continue to shape postwar land-use politics. Footprints of War traces the long history of conflict-produced spaces in Vietnam, beginning with early modern wars and the French colonial invasion in 1885 and continuing through the collapse of the Saigon government in 1975. Drawing on extensive archival research and years of interviews and fieldwork in the hills and villages around the city of Hue, David Biggs integrates historical geographic information system (GIS) data and uses aerial, high-altitude, and satellite imagery to render otherwise inscrutable sites as living, multidimensional spaces. This personal and multilayered approach yields an innovative history of the lasting traces of war in Vietnam and a model for understanding other militarized landscapes.

Quagmire - Nation-Building and Nature in the Mekong Delta (Paperback): David Andrew Biggs Quagmire - Nation-Building and Nature in the Mekong Delta (Paperback)
David Andrew Biggs; Foreword by William Cronon
R943 Discovery Miles 9 430 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Winner of the 2012 George Perkins Marsh Prize for Best Book in Environmental History In the twentieth century, the Mekong Delta has emerged as one of Vietnam's most important economic regions. Its swamps, marshes, creeks, and canals have played a major role in Vietnam's turbulent past, from the struggles of colonialism to the Cold War and the present day. Quagmire considers these struggles, their antecedents, and their legacies through the lens of environmental history. Beginning with the French conquest in the 1860s, colonial reclamation schemes and pacification efforts centered on the development of a dense network of new canals to open land for agriculture. These projects helped precipitate economic and environmental crises in the 1930s, and subsequent struggles after 1945 led to the balkanization of the delta into a patchwork of regions controlled by the Viet Minh, paramilitary religious sects, and the struggling Franco-Vietnamese government. After 1954, new settlements were built with American funds and equipment in a crash program intended to solve continuing economic and environmental problems. Finally, the American military collapse in Vietnam is revealed as not simply a failure of policy makers but also a failure to understand the historical, political, and environmental complexity of the spaces American troops attempted to occupy and control. By exploring the delta as a quagmire in both natural and political terms, Biggs shows how engineered transformations of the Mekong Delta landscape - channelized rivers, a complex canal system, hydropower development, deforestation - have interacted with equally complex transformations in the geopolitics of the region. Quagmire delves beyond common stereotypes to present an intricate, rich history that shows how closely political and ecological issues are intertwined in the human interactions with the water environment in the Mekong Delta.

Divine Insight and Human Consciousness - Opening the Dynamic Stability of a New Creation (Hardcover): Andrew Bigg Divine Insight and Human Consciousness - Opening the Dynamic Stability of a New Creation (Hardcover)
Andrew Bigg; Foreword by Rowan Williams
R5,593 Discovery Miles 55 930 Ships in 9 - 17 working days

"Doing" theology ought to be deep, creative, and awe-inspiring. Big theological questions should be asked in the most genuinely helpful manner. Often, and inevitably from a human perspective, we ask questions such as "Why doesn't God...?" or "Why does God allow...?" or, perhaps more appropriately, "What is the best way to conceive of God through His engagement with creation?" In Real Divine Insight and Human Consciousness, Andrew Bigg considers the logical and eschatological consequences of the pivotal union of "perspectives" in the Christian concept of Incarnation. The systematic approach proceeds as "according to a whole," or both theologically and scientifically relevant. We are aware, not least through Biblical texts, that there is a divine viewpoint of creation. The Bible says, "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways...For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts" (Isaiah 55:8-9). Furthermore, "the Lord does not see as mortals see" (1 Samuel 16:7), and we even hear the charge "you thought that I was one just like yourself" (Psalm 50:21). Humanity, however, asks questions about God's "perspective," while God asks rhetorical questions about human perspectives. In the Incarnation, however, these conflicting perspectives are somehow established in union with one another. From this divine-human perspective, Christ asks His disciples the incisive opening question "What are you looking for?," followed by the invitation "come and see" (John 1:37-39). Engaging theologically, learning what best to ask and how best to ask it, is inseparable from a journey of formation, preparation, and growth towards that ultimately shared self-knowledge to which Christ's invitation directs us, pointing towards a nuanced way of "seeing" and, eventually, "seeing together."
