images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the

"Iberianism" refers to a minority intellectual current which
emerged in Spain and Portugal during the mid-nineteenth century and
developed in step with the Iberian Peninsula's successive crises.
Iberianism sought to upend the peninsula's political and
intellectual status quo by advocating closer ties between the two
peninsular kingdoms, and more equitable relations between the
Spanish state's constituent regions, including Castile, Catalonia,
Basque Country, and Galicia. Robert Patrick Newcomb's Iberianism
and Crisis examines how prominent peninsular essay writers and
public intellectuals, active around the turn of the twentieth
century, looked to Iberianism to address a succession of political,
economic, and social crises that shook the Spanish and Portuguese
states to their foundations. Bringing into dialogue prominent
fin-de-siecle peninsular literary intellectuals, including Joan
Maragall, Oliveira Martins, Emilia Pardo Bazan, Antero de Quental,
and Miguel de Unamuno, Newcomb engages in a comparative analysis of
textual sources across national and regional borders, languages,
and literary canons.
Two war dramas directed by Clint Eastwood. 'Flags of Our Fathers'
(2006) is based on the book by James Bradley and Ron Powers. In
February 1945, even as victory in Europe was finally within reach,
the war in the Pacific raged on. One of the most crucial and
bloodiest battles of the war was the struggle for the island of Iwo
Jima, which culminated with what would become one of the most
iconic images in history: five Marines and a Navy corpsman raising
the American flag on Mount Suribachi. But the surviving flag
raisers had no interest in being held up as symbols and did not
consider themselves heroes; they wanted only to stay on the front
with their brothers in arms who were fighting and dying without
fanfare or glory. 'Letters from Iwo Jima' (2006) is based on the
book 'Picture Letters from Commander in Chief' by Tadamichi
Kuribayashi. The island of Iwo Jima stands between the American
military force and the home islands of Japan. Therefore the
Imperial Japanese Army is desperate to prevent it from falling into
American hands and providing a launching point for an invasion of
Japan. General Tadamichi Kuribayashi (Ken Watanabe) is given
command of the forces on the island and sets out to prepare for the
imminent attack. General Kuribayashi, however, does not favour the
rigid traditional approach recommended by his subordinates, and
resentment and resistance fester among his staff.

Drama following the life of the legendary 'Man in Black', Johnny
Cash. The movie begins in 1955, when a tough, skinny guitar-slinger
who called himself J.R. Cash (Joaquin Phoenix) walks into the
soon-to-be-famous Sun Studios in Memphis. It was a moment that
would have an indelible effect on American culture. With his
driving freight-train chords, steel-eyed intensity and a voice as
deep and black as night, Cash sang blistering songs of heartache
and survival that were gutsy, full of real life and unlike anything
heard before. That day kicked off the electrifying early career of
Johnny Cash. As he pioneered a fiercely original sound that blazed
a trail for rock, country, punk, folk and rap stars to come, Cash
began a rough-and-tumble journey of personal transformation. In the
most volatile period of his life, he evolved from a
self-destructive pop star into the iconic 'Man in Black' - facing
down his demons, fighting for the love that would save him time and
again, and learning how to walk the razor-thin line between
destruction and redemption. Reese Witherspoon won a Best Actress
Academy Award for her role as June Carter, Cash's long-suffering
wife.
This is an evocative drama of American idealism and the tragic
fallout from the euphoria of the 1960s. Five lost souls are
gathered in a bar, Valentine's Day, 1974: Wanda, a
secretary-turned-schoolteacher, keeping John Kennedy's memory alive
despite the inevitable slurs; Sparger, an actor grown bitter and
cynical as New York's vital underground theatre movement becomes a
commercial wasteland; Rona, a political activist who sees the
movement collapsing from self-indulgence and apathy; Mark, a Vie

Transatlantic Studies: Latin America, Iberia, and Africa emerges
from, and performs, an ongoing debate concerning the role of
transatlantic approaches in the fields of Iberian, Latin American,
African, and Luso-Brazilian studies. The innovative research and
discussions contained in this volume's 35 essays by leading
scholars in the field reframe the intertwined cultural histories of
the diverse transnational spaces encompassed by the former Spanish
and Portuguese empires. An emerging field, Transatlantic Studies
seeks to provoke a discussion and a reconfiguration of the
traditional academic notions of area studies, while critically
engaging the concepts of national cultures and postcolonial
relations among Spain, Portugal and their former colonies.
Crucially, Transatlantic Studies transgresses national boundaries
without dehistoricizing or decontextualizing the texts it seeks to
incorporate within this new framework.
Many people believe that discipleship is important, but they need
help. In fact, the vast majority of Christians report that they
have never been personally discipled by a more mature follower of
Jesus. Is it any wonder that they have a difficult time knowing how
to disciple others? If making disciples of Jesus is the greatest
cause on earth, how should we equip people to do it? This handbook
is a practical guide for how to embrace the discipleship lifestyle
- being a disciple of Jesus and how to make other disciples of
Jesus. With contributions from pastors and teachers like Francis
Chan, Jeff Vanderstelt, Bill Hull, Jim Putman, KP Yohannan, and
Robert Coleman, the authors present seven elements that are
necessary for disciple making to occur: Jesus-the original disciple
maker and centerpiece of discipleship. Holy Spirit-fuels the
disciple-making process. Intentionality-making disciples utilizing
a strategy and a roadmap. Relationships-creating a loving, genuine
connection with others who trust and follow Jesus. Bible-using the
Word of God as the manual for making disciples. Journey-forging a
traceable growth story from a new birth to spiritual parenthood.
Multiply-reproducing the discipleship process so that the disciple
becomes a disciple maker. Whether you are a parent who wants to
disciple your children, a small group leader who wants to disciple
those in your group, or a church leader who wants to disciple
future leaders, the seven key elements in this handbook form a
framework for understanding discipleship that can be applied in
countless situations. In addition, there are questions provided in
each section to help you think through how to apply the material to
your disciple making efforts.
