Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In his encyclical 'Deus Caritas Est' (God Is Love) published in 2005, Pope Benedict XVI wrote: 'As Augustine once said, a State which is not governed according to justice would be just a bunch of thieves.' Some fifteen hundred years after St. Augustine, in 1891, Pope Leo XIII published the first of a succession of social justice encyclicals and they became known as the 'Church's Best Kept Secret' because they were never widely acknowledged, read or acted upon within the universal Church. These documents were radical, secretive and neglected. Few clerics knew or cared much about them. Nevertheless their impact within the secular world was stronger from time to time. For example, after the publication of the encyclical Mater et Magistra (Christianity and Social Progress) by Pope John XXIII, 1961 opponents among the politically aware rejected it by crying out, 'Mater, si! Magistra, no.' (Mother, yes! Teacher, no!). Further evidence of the radical strength of the encyclicals followed the promulgation of Pope Paul VI's 'Populorum Progressio' in 1967. According to Dr. Rupert J. Ederer, an eminent American writing 'America and Catholic Social Teaching: An Urgent Warning' stated: 'It is not surprising that a leading herald of neoliberalism, The Wall Street Journal, referred to the contents of Populorum Progressio, when it appeared, as 'warmed over Marxism.' ' The Church's social doctrine is not a 'third way' between liberal capitalism and Marxist collectivism. It is in a category of its own, not an ideology but an accurate formulation of reflection on the complex realities of human existence as they conform to the Gospel in moral theology. As such they consistently put the person first ahead of socio economic and political systems. 'Work, in the first place, is for the worker not the worker for work,' 'Laborem Exercens' (On Human Work). These summaries of the original robust encyclicals, consistently and frequently controversially, place human beings, never capital and property, at the centre of things. They support: trades unions; the right to strike; the rights of workers to manage and share profits; the state protection of citizens; responsible private ownership; equitable distribution of wealth; rights for refugees. They condemn the excesses of both capitalism and socialism but approve aspects of each in moderation. Unrestricted competition is censured. Racism is condemned. War is denounced. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Island Davaar (Eilean Dà Bhàrr) is not the smallest of the 800 Scottish islands but its 140 acres certainly places it among the smallest of them. According to the 2011 census ninety five of those islands were inhabited but currently Davaar has no permanent residents only the holiday makers who arrive to enjoy its solitude and its magic. As one of Campbeltown's hidden gems, Davaar Island, lies at the mouth of Campbeltown Loch in an area of littoral sand and stones. The shores around the loch are made up of raised beaches with cliffs on the southern and eastern sides of Island Davaar. The earliest historical written reference to Davaar was made in 1393 when Pope Clement VII mentioned an endowment of the island made by Christina of Mar to the monks of Saddell Abbey, Scotland. In the eighteenth century a lookout sentry was stationed there to keep a sharp look out for the Scottish born American naval hero, John Paul Jones, when he was attacking shipping along the coast. A couple of centuries later the island and the loch were deeply involved in World War Two when the Royal navy used the port regularly for some of its training vessels. In 1943 a submarine on a training exercise sank in neighbouring seas with the loss of all its crew. A recent tragic loss of life on the island was that of Leonard Bennett who was a caretaker/warden on Davaar between 1999 and 4 January 2008 when he met his death on the Dhorlin while driving across it. Most of the 35 illustrations used in this book are his work. An account of his death is given here and the book is dedicated to his memory. Its lighthouse, built in 1854 by the famous lighthouse engineers David and Thomas Stevenson, now automated, still casts its light 23 nautical miles out to sea and across the compound in which stand the holiday cottages. One of those dwellings is The Lookout which was used during WWII as a base for naval crews who maintained anti-submarine nets across the Bay. Davaar Island is one of 43 tidal islands that can be walked to from the mainland of Great Britain and one of 17 that can be walked to from the Scottish mainland. It is linked to the mainland by a natural shingle causeway called the Dhorlin, a wide shingle neck of land, exposed briefly at low tide. From a parking area off Kintyre Way, east of Campbeltown, it takes about 40 minutes to make the crossing to the island on foot over sand, shingle and rocks within a window of 7 hours but walkers are strongly advised to check the times of the tides for safety sake. Tide tables can be obtained in Campbeltown's tourist information office situated on the town pier. Many arrive to see the island's top attractions the lighthouse itself and a life size image of the Crucifixion painted on a cave wall by a local artist Archibald MacKinnon in 1887. During summer months the northern tip of the island is an ideal place to look out for basking sharks, dolphins and even passing whales. Bennett, Leonard (illustrator).…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The name O'Shaughnessy is easily recognisable as a quintessential Irish name whereas the surname of its lineal cousins, Hynes, the anglicised rendition of Ui hEidhne, looks more Saxon than Gaelic. The name O 'Cleary is also obviously Irish as indeed it is because that family shares the same ancestry as the Hynes and O'Shaughnessy and has the added distinction of being one of the earliest recorded hereditary names ever. This book, the 'O'Shaughnessys', is a companion book to 'The Hynes of Ireland' so ideally it should be read shortly after the other because the two families share their earliest ancestors and history. Between them the two books present vivid accounts of the battles, murders, duels, conflicts, love stories, poems, castles, monasteries and miracles involving these ancient families and their kinsfolk, other descendants of King Guaire, the O'Clearys, O'Cahans, O'Cahills, Killikellys, . Their ancient friends and foes are mentioned too, among them - the Burkes, Comerfords, Gregorys, Martins, O'Briens, O'Connors, O'Donovans, O'Kellys, O'Loughlins, Ludlow, O'Neills, Prendergasts and Taylors. Researchers into family history will find a wealth of intriguing information about these families which has hitherto been hidden away in obscure papers and documents.Where most of the narrative of The Hynes of Ireland centres on the seaside town of Kinvara on the edge of Galway bay, Ireland, The O'Shaughnessys centres on the market town of Gort, a few miles inland.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Much of this book concerns the life and legends of King Guaire mac Colmain, who lived in the ancient palace of Raith Durlais until his death in the year 663.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'This book offers an intriguing insight into World War I aerial operations that are rarely discussed.'--The Journal of the Air Force Historical FoundationX Flight was designated the task of giving close air support to the desert army formed and commanded by Lawrence of Arabia. It flew from advanced desert landing grounds on reconnaissance, liaison, bombing and ground attack missions. The existence and deeds of the flight were kept secret, so much so that even the RFC Paymaster was unaware of their existence.George Hynes was an aircraft mechanic and became responsible for keeping the flights somewhat elderly aircraft airworthy while working in the most difficult desert conditions on hastily constructed landing strips and living and working under canvas in temperatures that froze at night and rose to 100 degrees plus at noon.His diary gives a clear insight into the conditions endured, the actions that took place and the many almost insurmountable problems that occurred as they followed Lawrence's steady advance against the numerically superior Turkish Army and Air Force. George personally encountered Lawrence on many occasions and maintained contact with him after the war.The diary is supported with the Flights weekly operational records, perspectives of the battle scenarios and other background information.…
