This is the adventurous, true story of Sinbad, mascot of the Coast Guard Cutter Campbell during World War II, whose exploits became legend. Although famous to thousands of people in many nations, Sinbad was happiest at sea, treading the decks of the sleek Campbell, where he was treated as just another member of the crew. He slept and ate his chow with the men and even had his own battle station. Battles and hurricanes never dulled his love of standing on the heaving deck with spray breaking over his wiry body. To Coast Guardsmen on the Campbell and all over the world he was real hero. This new edition, the first in 60 years, includes photos of Sinbad and an introduction by Mike Walling, author of Bloodstained Sea, The U.S. Coast Guard in the Battle of the Atlantic 1941-1944.

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. August 24, 410: Rome is sacked by the Visigoths under Alaric I. September 11, 2001: The Twin Towers collapse, following an attack by two hijacked aeroplanes. Just as the Sack of Rome sounded the death knell of the civilisation of Antiquity, so perhaps does the destruction of the World Trade Center mark the weakening of Western supremacy.Between these two dates Maurice Sachot explores what he regards as the foundations of Western civilisation. He contends that even secularI'm, which seems to characterise Western ascendancy over the rest of the world, defines itself in relation to Christianity. It is thus the history of the Christianisation of the world that he tells here, focussing on the period when it began ? the transition from Antiquity to the Latin world.This is not only a history of the Catholic Church, or of Christian theology and religious communities; it is also a powerful, ambitious attempt to reveal the pillars on which Western culture stands.The author, a specialist in the history of religion, addresses the following questions: What has Christianity contributed to the world? What are the traits that define what we know as Western civilisation, and which have existed through the ages and across national borders? The author shows how Christianity has changed the world and shaped the way we think, even when we have struggled and fought against it. He argues that Christianity has informed our relations to institutions and to learning, our notion of community, and the status of faith.This brilliant synthesis sheds light on a number of crucial contemporary issues.A former teacher of patristic languages at the Faculty of Catholic Theology, Maurice Sachot now teaches educational studies at the University of the Humanities of Strasbourg. He is the author of L?Invention du Christ (1997). Artikel-Nr. CIN0975869930VG
