Jason David Hall Bücher
David D. Hall ist ein amerikanischer Historiker, der für seine bahnbrechende Einführung des Konzepts der „gelebten Religion“ in die Religionswissenschaften bekannt ist. Seine wissenschaftliche Arbeit untersucht eingehend die komplexe Beziehung zwischen religiösen Überzeugungen und gesellschaftlichen Strukturen im frühen Amerika, mit besonderem Fokus auf Neuengland im Puritanismus. Hall befasst sich eingehend mit den kulturellen Auswirkungen des Glaubens und analysiert, wie dieser Gemeinschaften und Einzelleben durch seine strenge historische Analyse prägte. Seine Forschung erstreckt sich auch auf die „Geschichte des Buches“, wobei er die Entwicklung von Lese- und Schreibfähigkeiten in der Kolonialzeit untersucht.

Examining the interplay between rhythm and the "Mechanical Age," this book challenges traditional views of meter and versification. It explores Victorian prosody alongside modern ideas about labor, education, science, and technology. By redefining rhythm in a broader context, it highlights the connections between poetic structures and the evolving landscape of the era, offering insights that transcend disciplinary boundaries.
'It is at Christmas time that want is most keenly felt, and abundance rejoices.' Charles Dickens 'Yeah, and a partridge up your pear tree, an' all.' Derek Trotter _____________ 'What is it about me and Christmas? Amazingly, there are eighteen 'Only Fools and Horses' Christmas specials. It is at Christmas that Raquel moves in with Del, that Peckham Spring mineral water is first marketed, that the world's least likely Batman and Robin duo emerge on a foggy street. Think of this memoir, then, as a Christmas special in book form, from someone who has been involved in a few of those and understands a bit about the concept. But a Christmas special very much like Only Fools and Horses, in the sense that the stories will be always heading outwards, ranging far and wide and well beyond the traditional festive gags involving giblets left in turkeys. As I sift through various festive-related episodes in my career, loosening the ribbons, parting the wrapping paper, I'll be doing my best to reach any relevant conclusions about life, work and the meaning of it all that I can usefully pass on to you - baubles of wisdom if you like. Or certainly baubles. You'll learn why I have the perfect face to play Scrooge. And if you're lucky I'll also share what it's like to fly in the helicopter of my old mucker Tom Cruise. Merry Christmas, you plonkers.'
