The Second Vatican Council on Other Religions

The Second Vatican Council on Other Religions by Gerald O"Collins SJ


English | 2013 | ISBN: 0199672598, 0198709765 | 240 pages | PDF | 1 MB

Many observers greeted the Second Vatican Council (1962-65) as the most important religious event in the twentieth century. Its implementation and impact are still being felt in the Catholic Church, the wider Christian world, and beyond. One sea change that Vatican II brought concerned Roman Catholic attitudes towards Judaism, Islam, and other religions. Gerald O"Collins breaks fresh ground by examining in detail five documents from the Council which embodied a new mindset about other religious faiths and mandated changes that quickly led to international and national dialogues between the Catholic Church and the followers of non-Christian religions. The book also includes chapters on the insights that prepared the way for the rethinking expressed by Vatican II, and on the follow-up to the Council"s teaching found in the work of Pope John Paul II and Jacques Dupuis. O"Collins ably illustrates how the Council made a startling advance in official Catholic teaching about followers of other living faiths. Carefully researched, the book is written in the clear, accessible style that readers of previous works by O"Collins will recognize.

Models of the History of Philosophy: Vol. III: The Second Enlightenment and the Kantian Age

Models of the History of Philosophy: Vol. III: The Second Enlightenment and the Kantian Age by Gregorio Piaia and Giovanni Santinello


English | 2015 | ISBN: 9401799652 | 1000 pages | PDF | 6,4 MB

This is the third volume of Models of the History of Philosophy, a collaborative work on the history of the history of philosophy dating from the Renaissance to the end of the nineteenth century. The volume covers a decisive period in the history of modern thought, from Voltaire and the great “Encyclopédie” of Diderot and d"Alembert to the age of Kant, i.e. from the histoire de l"esprit humain animated by the idea of progress to the a priori history of human thought. The interest of the philosophes and the Kantians (Buhle and Tennemann) in the study and the reconstruction of the philosophies of the past was characterized by a spirit that was highly critical, but at the same time systematic. The material is divided into four large linguistic and cultural areas: the French, Italian, British and German. The detailed analysis of the 35 works which can be considered to be “general” histories of philosophy is preceded and accompanied by lengthy introductions on the historical background and references to numerous other works bordering on philosophical historiography.

An Introduction to Ecological Economics, Second Edition

Robert Costanza), John H Cumberland , "An Introduction to Ecological Economics, Second Edition"


2015 | ISBN-10: 156670684X | 356 pages | PDF | 3 MB

From Empty-World Economics to Full-World Economics




Ecological economics explores new ways of thinking about how we manage our lives and our planet to achieve a sustainable, equitable, and prosperous future. Ecological economics extends and integrates the study and management of both "nature"s household" and "humankind"s household"―An Introduction to Ecological Economics, Second Edition, the first update and expansion of this classic text in 15 years, describes new approaches to achieving a sustainable and desirable human presence on Earth. Written by the top experts in the field, it addresses the necessity for an innovative approach to integrated environmental, social, and economic analysis and management, and describes policies aimed at achieving our shared goals.




Demands a Departure from Business as Usual




The book begins with a description of prevailing interdependent environmental, economic, and social issues and their underlying causes, and offers guidance on designing policies and instruments capable of adequately coping with these problems. It documents the historical development of the disciplines of economics and ecology, and explores how they have evolved so differently from a shared conceptual base. Structured into four sections, it also presents various ideas and models in their proper chronological context, details the fundamental principles of ecological economics, and outlines prospects for the future.




What’s New in the Second Edition:




Includes several new pieces and updates in each section


Adds a series of independently authored "boxes" to expand and update information in the current text


Addresses the historical development of economics and ecology and the recent progress in integrating the study of humans and the rest of nature


Covers the basic concepts and applications of ecological economics in language accessible to a broad audience






An Introduction to Ecological Economics, Second Edition can be used in an introductory undergraduate or graduate course; requires no prior knowledge of mathematics, economics, or ecology; provides a unified understanding of natural and human-dominated ecosystems; and reintegrates the market economy within society and the rest of nature.

The very scale of the 1939 45 war has often tempted historians to study particular campaigns at the expense of the wider panorama. In this readable and richly detailed history of the conflict, the Belgian scholar Ernest Mandel outlines his view that the war was in fact a combination of several distinct struggles and a battle between rival imperialisms for world hegemony.

An Introduction to the Event-Related Potential Technique, Second edition

An Introduction to the Event-Related Potential Technique, Second edition by Steven J. Luck


English | 2014 | ISBN: 0262525852 | 416 pages | PDF | 25 MB

The event-related potential (ERP) technique, in which neural responses to specific events are extracted from the EEG, provides a powerful noninvasive tool for exploring the human brain. This volume describes practical methods for ERP research along with the underlying theoretical rationale. It offers researchers and students an essential guide to designing, conducting, and analyzing ERP experiments. This second edition has been completely updated, with additional material, new chapters, and more accessible explanations. Freely available supplementary material, including several online-only chapters, offer expanded or advanced treatment of selected topics. The first half of the book presents essential background information, describing the origins of ERPs, the nature of ERP components, and the design of ERP experiments. The second half of the book offers a detailed treatment of the main steps involved in conducting ERP experiments, covering such topics as recording the EEG, filtering the EEG and ERP waveforms, and quantifying amplitudes and latencies. Throughout, the emphasis is on rigorous experimental design and relatively simple analyses. New material in the second edition includes entire chapters devoted to components, artifacts, measuring amplitudes and latencies, and statistical analysis; updated coverage of recording technologies; concrete examples of experimental design; and many more figures. Online chapters cover such topics as overlap, localization, writing and reviewing ERP papers, and setting up and running an ERP lab.
