Fifty years after the last great miracle revival, believers of
every Christian denomination are experiencing a restoration. As
foretold by the prophets, this rain is resulting in the greatest
harvest of souls the world has ever known. What took centuries to
understand and accomplish, God is doing in an instant in this
present glory. Mysteries are being unveiled now to those who seek
the knowledge of God's glory. There were many healings and miracles
demonstrated publicly each night...Deaf ears opened. Paralyzed
people were healed. Many with incurable diseases and serious
cancers were healed. Every type of miracle was seen. Hungry
believers will be fed through the Mysteries of the Glory Unveiled.
David Herzog operates in the glory, prophetic, revelatory,
apostolic training and evangelistic realms as creative miracles,
signs, and wonders flow. He ministers in conferences, crusades, and
revivals worldwide. David has authored several books and appears
each week on their program, The Glory Zone, worldwide.
This informative and practical book helps leaders develop adaptive
leadership mindsets and skills to address the myriad intersecting
challenges shaping today’s workplace. Through the Flux 5
framework, organizational culture and systems experts Sharon
Ravitch and Liza Herzog help leaders, teams, and organizations
create the organizational conditions to drive and enact adaptive
change. At a time of unprecedented workplace flux, leader roles are
constantly being redefined, requiring more finely attuned leader
mindsets, frames for leadership, and skillsets for moving the dial
on individual and organizational sense-making for cultural and
institutional excellence. Based on five mindsets – Inquiry
Mindset, Humanizing Mindset, Systems Mindset, Entrepreneurial
Mindset, and Equity Mindset – the Flux 5 framework teaches
leaders to drive adaptive change as a tool of professional and
organizational development. Using embedded leader learning
activations and organizational practices, the book guides leaders
to develop each mindset as they read. The book encourages leaders
(and their organizations in diffusion effect) to cultivate a
visionary and resonant leadership approach at the intersection of
crisis leadership, professional and human development, systems
thinking, entrepreneurial leadership, and organizational equity
frameworks. Succinct, accessible, pragmatic, and inspiring, this
useful guide will grab the interest of leaders, teams, and
organizations across sectors, organizational types, and business
contexts, and engage professors, students, and practitioners of
leadership, management, organizational psychology, and
organizational development.

A vision had seized hold of me, like the demented fury of a hound
that has sunk its teeth into the leg of a deer carcass and is
shaking and tugging so frantically that the hunter gives up trying
to calm him. It was the vision of a large steamship scaling a hill
under its own steam, while above this natural landscape soars the
voice of Caruso...One of the most revered of contemporary
filmmakers, Werner Herzog kept a diary during the making of
"Fitzcarraldo", the lavish 1982 film that tells the story of a
would-be robber baron who pulls a steamship over a hill to access a
rich rubber territory. Later, Herzog spoke of his difficulties when
making the film, including casting problems, reshoots, language
barriers, epic clashes with the star, and the logistics of moving a
320-ton steamship over a hill without the use of special effects.
Fitzcarraldo was hailed by critics around the globe, and won Herzog
the 1982 Outstanding Director Prize at Cannes. "Conquest of the
Useless", his diary on his fever dream in the Amazon jungle, is an
extraordinary glimpse into the mind of a genius during the making
of one of his greatest achievements.

The sociology of language and the sociology of communication are
well-established fields in Israeli sociology, but it is only
recently that their departments have grown vigorously in Israel's
various universities. They are long-standing, respected disciplines
in international sociology, as is evidenced by their academic
associations and the reputation of their specialized journals.
Language and Communication in Israel, the ninth volume of the
Studies of Israeli Society series, presents a broad range of the
various approaches and questions that preoccupy Israel's
sociologists of language and communication.
The collection starts with studies that focus on the presence of
language and communication in daily life. Subsequent chapters
analyze the relation of language and communication to social and
cultural pluralism. Also included is a study of linguistic and
communication aspects of politics and elections. A special chapter
consists of an examination of the role of language and
communication in the Israeli-Arab conflict and an analysis of the
intermingling of mass media and the state.
In their introduction, the editors discuss each of the chapters
under the guidance of a key question, namely, the significance of
the studies presented for the profile of the Israeli society, on
the one hand, and of the Israeli scholarship of these fields, on
the other. Two concluding chapters are also included in this
landmark volume, one by Joshua A. Fishman and one by Elihu Katz.
Each author emphasizes what he thinks is of major importance to the
future of the sociology of language and the sociology of
communication. Language and Communication in Israel is an
enlightening study of two growing fields. It is essential reading
for scholars of linguistics and communications as well as for
sociologists and Israeli studies specialists. Hanna Herzog is
associate professor in the department of sociology at Tel-Aviv
University. She is the author of Political Ethnicity, Contest of
Symbols, Realistic Women, and Gendering Politics.
Unique in its global and interdisciplinary scope, this collection
will bring together comparative insights across European, Ottoman,
Japanese, and US imperial contexts while spanning colonized spaces
in Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, the Indian Ocean, the
Middle East, and East and Southeast Asia. Drawing on
interdisciplinary perspectives from cultural, intellectual and
political history, anthropology, law, gender and sexuality studies,
and literary criticism, The Routledge Companion to Sexuality and
Colonialism combines regional and historiographic overviews with
detailed case studies, making it the key reference for up-to-date
scholarship on the intimate dimensions of colonial rule. Comprising
more than 30 chapters by a team of international contributors, the
Companion is divided into five parts: Directions in the study of
sexuality and colonialism Constructing race, controlling
reproduction Sexuality in law Subjects, souls, and selfhood
Pleasure and violence. The Routledge Companion to Sexuality and
Colonialism is essential reading for students and researchers in
gender, sexuality, race, global studies, world history,
Indigeneity, and settler colonialism.
Werner Herzog is the undisputed master of extreme cinema: building
an opera house in the middle of the jungle; walking from Munich to
Paris in the dead of winter; descending into an active volcano;
living in the wilderness among grizzly bears - he has always been
intrigued by the extremes of human experience. From his early
movies to his later documentaries, he has made a career out of
exploring the boundaries of human endurance: what we are capable of
in exceptional circumstances and what these situations reveal about
who we really are. But these are not just great cinematic themes.
During the making of his films, Herzog pushed himself and others to
the limits, often putting himself in life-threatening situations.
As a child in rural Bavaria, a single loaf of bread had to last his
family all week. The hunger and deprivation he experienced during
his early years perhaps explain his fascination with the limits of
physical endurance.All his life, Herzog would embrace risk and
danger, constantly looking for challenges and adventures. Filled to
the brim with memorable stories and poignant observations, Every
Man for Himself and God against All unveils the influences and
ideas that drive his creativity and have shaped his unique view of
the world. This book tells, for the first time, the story of his
extraordinary and fascinating life.

A widely celebrated intellectual historian of twentieth-century
Europe, Anson Rabinbach is one of the most important scholars of
National Socialism working over the last forty years. This volume
collects, for the first time, his pathbreaking work on Nazi
culture, antifascism, and the after-effects of Nazism on postwar
German and European culture. Historically detailed and
theoretically sophisticated, his essays span the aesthetics of
production, messianic and popular claims, the ethos that Nazism
demanded of its adherents, the brilliant and sometimes successful
efforts of antifascist intellectuals to counter Hitler's rise, the
most significant concepts to emerge out of the 1930s and 1940s for
understanding European authoritarianism, the major controversies
around Nazism that took place after the regime's demise, the
philosophical claims of postwar philosophers, sociologists and
psychoanalysts-from Theodor Adorno to Hannah Arendt and from
Alexander Kluge to Klaus Theweleit-and the role of Auschwitz in
European history.

'A potent, vaporous fever dream; a meditation on truth, lies,
illusion and time' NEW YORK TIMES In his first novel, the great
filmmaker, Werner Herzog, tells the incredible story of a Japanese
soldier who defended a small island for twenty-nine years after the
end of World War II. Hold the island until the Imperial army's
return. You are to defend its territory by guerrilla tactics, at
all costs... There is only one rule: you are forbidden to die by
your own hand. In the event of your capture by the enemy, you are
to give them all the misleading information you can. In 1944, on
Lubang Island in the Philippines, with Japanese troops about to
withdraw, Lieutenant Hiroo Onoda was given orders by his superior
officer. So began Onoda's long campaign, during which he became
fluent in the hidden language of the jungle. Soon weeks turned into
months, months into years, and years into decades - until
eventually time itself seemed to melt away. All the while Onoda
continued to fight his fictitious war, at once surreal and tragic,
at first with other soldiers, and then, finally, alone, a character
in a novel of his own making. 'Herzog's writing bristles with the
same eerie and uncompromising energy as his films. His jungle
pulses with hallucinatory life' Guardian

Fritz Morgenthaler was a crucial figure in the return of
psychoanalysis to post-Nazi Central Europe. An inspiring clinician
and teacher to the New Left generation of 1968, he was the first
European psychoanalyst since Freud to declare that homosexuality is
not, indeed never, a pathology, and in Technik, developed
revolutionary ideas for transforming clinical technique. On the
Dialectics of Psychoanalytic Practice offers the first publication
in English of this psychoanalytic, counterculture classic. Those
who first picked up Technik encountered it at a historical moment
when Marxist psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich, popular New Left cultural
critic Klaus Theweleit, and the texts of the Frankfurt School were
already required reading. While not a political text in the same
direct way, Morgenthaler's Technik nonetheless shared many of their
preoccupations and conclusions about human nature. It was read as
technical guidance for psychoanalysts, but also as a manifesto
dedicated to the problem of how it might be possible genuinely to
live a postfascist, and nonfascist, existence. Morgenthaler was a
protorelationalist who recombined the traditions of ego and self
psychology as he retained a commitment to drive theory. Here Dagmar
Herzog makes his work available to a new generation of analysts,
providing essential source material, annotations, and
groundbreaking analysis of the continued importance of the work for
historians and therapeutic practitioners alike. On the Dialectics
of Psychoanalytic Practice will interest practicing clinicians as
well as intellectual historians and cultural studies scholars
seeking to understand the return of psychoanalysis to post-Nazi
Central Europe.

This collection of seven essays, like the carefully linked
collection of vignettes within Tim O'Brien's most popular book The
Things They Carried, contains multiple critical and biographical
angles with recurring threads of life events, themes, characters,
creative techniques, and references to all of O'Brien's books.
Grounded in through research, Herzog's work illustrates how O'Brien
merges his life experiences with his creative production; he rarely
misses an opportunity to introduce these critical life events into
his writing.
The book introduces the reader to the wealth of narrative sources

The Gulf War and its aftermath have testified once again to the
significance placed on the meanings and images of Vietnam by US
media and culture. Almost two decades after the end of hostilities,
the Vietnam War remains a dominant moral, political and military
touchstone in American cultural consciousness. Vietnam War Stories
provides a comprehensive critical framework for understanding the
Vietnam experience, Vietnam narratives and modern war literature.
The narratives examined - personal accounts as well as novels -
portray a soldier's and a country's journey from pre-war innocence,
through battlefield experience and consideration, to a difficult
post-war adjustment. Tobey Herzog places these narratives within
the context of important cultural and literary themes, including
inherent ironies of war, the "John Wayne syndrome" of pre-war
innocence, and the "heavy Heart-of-Darkness trip" of the conflict
itself.
