The whole of life can be found in the psalms. It can also be found
in our cities. Psalms for the City is a beautifully illustrated
book of poetry that offers comfort, inspiration and encouragement
for the heart and soul, as John-Paul Flintoff puts into vibrant,
captivating and sometimes heart-wrenching words the pockets of
peace he has found in the midst of the non-stop noise and colourful
chaos of the city. Inspired by the psalms - some of the oldest and
most soul-stirring poetry in the world - Flintoff's fluid style and
technical skills take us on a private tour of our most-loved urban
landscapes and reveal the spiritual nourishment in some of its most
famous sights. In countless churches and sacred spaces, he shows us
locations to lament; he teaches us to discover joy in crowded
marketplaces; and shares how he found hope searching the horizon
atop Hampstead Heath. With his own hand-drawn illustrations to
accompany the poems, Psalms for the City is a book that poetry
lovers will treasure and is perfect for fans of Charlie Mackesy.
Presented in a beautiful hardback format, it will also make a
wonderful gift for friends and family, and for those who love the
diversity of city life. Open and honest, these are modern day
psalms that chart John-Paul's discovery that the extraordinary
places welcomed the ordinary, and that when we're looking closely,
the ordinary places can become extraordinary. Psalms for the City
is an invitation to take your imagination on a pilgrimage across
the city, experiencing the full depths of what it means to be human
today.

When Austria-Hungary broke up at the end of the First World War,
the sacrifice of one million men who had died fighting for the
Habsburg monarchy now seemed to be in vain. This book is the first
of its kind to analyze how the Great War was interpreted,
commemorated, or forgotten across all the ex-Habsburg territories.
Each of the book's twelve chapters focuses on a separate region,
studying how the transition to peacetime was managed either by the
state, by war veterans, or by national minorities. This "splintered
war memory," where some posed as victors and some as losers, does
much to explain the fractious character of interwar Eastern Europe.
A pioneering critic, educator, and poet, I. A. Richards (1893-1979)
helped the English-speaking world decide not only what to read but
how to read it. Acknowledged "father" of New Criticism, he produced
the most systematic body of critical writing in the English
language since Coleridge. His method of close reading dominated the
English-speaking classroom for half a century. John Paul Russo
draws on close personal acquaintance with Richards as well as on
unpublished materials, correspondence, and interviews, to write the
first biography (originally published in 1989) of one of last
century's most influential and many-sided men of letters.

Designing Peace asks, how might we collectively put our creative
forces together to envision a future we want to live in and take
action to create it now? This book is an intersectional snapshot of
the actions-culturally diverse and wide-ranging in scale-that are
currently in play around the world. Offering perspectives on peace
through essays, interviews, critical maps, project profiles, data
visualizations, and art, this book conveys the momentum that design
can gain in effecting a peace-filled future. From activists,
scholars, and architects to policymakers, graphic, game, and
landcape designers, Desiging Peace flips the conversation: peace is
not simply a passive state signifying the absence of war, it is a
dynamic concept that requires effort, expertise, and
multi-dimensional solutions to address its complexity. Designers
engage with individuals, communities, and organizations to create a
more sustainable peace-from creative confrontations that challenge
existing structures, to designs that demand embracing justice and
truth in a search for reconciliation. This publication aims to
expand the discourse on what is possible if society were to design
for peace.

Documentary about the life of Pope John Paul II: poet, playwright,
actor, mystic - and head of the Roman Catholic Church. Shaped by
the horrors of World War II and the subsequent brutalities of the
Communist era in Poland, John Paul II is seen by millions as one of
the world's greatest defenders of religious freedom and human
rights. Filmed on location in Krakow and Rome, the film traces his
personal life and struggles.
The collective work deals with the problems of if, how, and why the
histories of German Nazism and Soviet Communism should and could be
situated within one coherent narrative. As historical phenomena,
can Communism and Nazism fruitfully be compared to each other? Do
they belong to the same historical contexts? Have they influenced,
reacted to or learned from each other? Are they interpreted,
represented and used together by posterity? The background of the
book is twofold. One is external. There is an ongoing debate about
the historical entanglements of Communism and Nazism, especially
about Auschwitz and Gulag, respectively. Our present fascination
with the evil history of genocide has situated the Holocaust as the
borderline event in Western historical thinking. The crimes against
humanity perpetrated by the Soviet Communist regime do not have the
same position but are considered more urgent in the East and
Central European states that were subdued by both Nazi and
Communist regimes. The other, internal background is to develop an
analytical perspective in which the "comnaz" nexus can be
understood. Using a complex approach, the authors investigate
Communist and Nazi histories as entangled phenomena, guided by
three basic perspectives. Focusing on roots and developments, a
genetic perspective highlights historical, process-oriented
connections. A structural perspective indicates an attempt to
narrow down "operational" parallels of the two political systems in
the way they handled ideology to construct social utopia, used
techniques of terror, etc. A third perspective is genealogical,
emphasizing the processing and use of Communist and Nazi history by
posterity in terms of meaning and memory: What past is worth
remembering, celebrating, debating-but also distorting and
forgetting? The chapters of the book address phenomena such as
ideology, terror, secular religion, museum exhibits, and denial.
This book presents the case that liberal constitutionalism in the
global South is a legacy of colonialism and is inappropriate as a
means of securing effective peace in regions that have been subject
to recurrent conflict. The work demonstrates the failure of liberal
constitutionalism in guaranteeing peace in the postcolonial global
South. It develops an alternative, more compelling
constitutionalism for peacebuilding in conflicted regions. This is
based on constitutionalism that recognises plurality as a major
feature in the global South. Drawing on events in Nigeria, it
develops a constitutional model, based on Cognitive Justice, which
could deliver peace by addressing historic, conceptual, legal,
institutional and structural issues that have created social
inequality and injustice. The study also incorporates insights from
the development of plurinational constitutions in South America.
The book will be an invaluable resource for researchers, academics
and policy-makers with an interest in constitutional legal theory,
peacebuilding and postcolonial studies
