Enigma in Rus and Medieval Slavic Cultures is a thematic essay
volume to investigate the history and function of enigma in
Orthodox Slavic cultures with a special focus on the cultural
history of Rus and Muscovy. Its seventeen case studies across
disciplinary boundaries analyze Slavic biblical and patristic
translations, liturgical commentaries, occult divinatory texts, and
dream interpretations. Slavic riddles inscribed on walls and
compilations of riddles in question-and-answer format are all
subjects of this volume. Not only written, but also pictorial
enigmas are examined, together with their relationships to texts
suggesting novel methodologies for their deciphering. This
kaleidoscopic survey of Enigma in Rus and Medieval Slavic Cultures
by an international group of scholars demonstrates the
historiographical challenges that medieval enigmatic thought poses
for researchers and offers new approaches to the interpretation of
medieval sources, both verbal and visual.
This is the first full-length study of the life and work of
novelist Gerald O'Donovan (1871-1942), a Catholic priest and social
and cultural activist who, having abandoned the priesthood, became
a writer and publisher. As a priest in Loughrea, Co. Galway, he was
a very public figure in Irish life in several different areas. He
was friendly with W. B. Yeats, Lady Gregory and George Moore and
actively promoted the 'Celtic Revival'. He was also a friend of
Douglas Hyde and Sir Horace Plunkett and, for a number of years, he
was a national figure in their respective organizations, the Gaelic
League and the Co-operative Movement. After his marriage to Beryl
Verschoyle, he moved to England and subsequently published six
novels, the best-known and most controversial of which was Father
Ralph (1913), a portrait of the artist as a priest. He also spent
time working in the British Department of Propaganda under Lord
Northcliffe, where H.G. Wells was one of his colleagues. This
biography of an important and strangely neglected figure allows us
new insights into a whole range of interesting cultural moments in
twentieth-century Irish life, including the beginnings of literary
modernism, the flourishing of the Irish literary revival and the
emergence of a dissident strand within the Catholic clergy. Based
on a rich and previously untapped array of archival material in
Ireland, Britain and the US, the book provides both a much-needed
reassessment of O'Donovan's work and also a history of Irish
writing during those early decades of the twentieth century that
saw the development of a new and powerful national literature.

multiplicity, Oneness will then be revealed to you.

Climate change is generally viewed as a global issue, but proposed
responses typically require action at the national level. With the
1997 Kyoto Protocol now in force and setting emissions objectives
for 2008-2012, countries that ratified the protocol are
implementing strategies to begin reducing their emissions of
greenhouse gases. The European Union's (EU) Emissions Trading
Scheme (ETS) is a cornerstone of the EU's efforts to meet its
obligation under the Kyoto Protocol. It covers more than 10,000
energy intensive facilities across the 27 EU Member countries;
covered entities emit about 45% of the EU's carbon dioxide
emissions. This book examines the European Union's Emissions
Trading Scheme (ETS) with a focus on climate and aviation
considerations.
