Paddy Griffith,Peter Dennis: The Vauban Fortifications of France

The Vauban Fortifications of France


Description

Dunkirk, Toulon, Perpignan, Verdun and Brest stand out among the many historically significant sites created by Sebastien LePrestre de Vauban (1633-1707). Vauban was the foremost military engineer of France during the period of its centralisation and wars of expansion in the 17th and 18th centuries. His influence persisted long after Waterloo, and his name has become synonymous with the science of the construction, defence and attack of bastioned fortresses. This book examines the many achievements of this pivotal figure in fortification history, exploring the sites and their subsequent significance.

In this groundbreaking study of Paul's soteriology, Michael Gorman builds on his influential"Cruciformity: Paul's Narrative Spirituality of the Cross"to argue that cruciformity is, at its heart, "theo"formity -- what the Christian tradition has called theosis or participation in the life of God. ""A richly synthetic reading of Paul. . . . Gorman deftly integrates the results of recent debates about Pauline theology into a powerful constructive account that overcomes unfruitful dichotomies and transcends recent controversies between the 'New Perspective on Paul' and its traditionalist critics. Gorman's important book points the way forward for understanding the nonviolent, world-transforming character Theodore Boone: The Fugitive free epub of Paul's gospel."" --Richard B. Hays, Duke Divinity School" The speeches include Robert G. Ingersoll's "Address at the Funeral of Walt Whitman"; Harvey Milk's "Hope Speech"; "Civil Liberties: A Progress Report" by Franklin Kameny;Harry Hay's "Unity and More in '84"; and Urvashi Vaid's "Speech at the March on Washington." Suitable for courses on contemporary politics and social issues, this edition is the only available compilation of speeches on gay rights."
