“JAS Merah” yang dikatakan Bung Karno, bukanlah sebuah ungkapan yang tidak memiliki arti penting sama sekali dalam kehidupan. Kalimat itu merupakan alarm untuk kita agar bisa menjaga ingatan sejarah yang selama ini sering terabaikan. Terkadang sejarah hanya sebagai penghias mata pelajaran, mata kuliah, bahkan bagi sebagian orang, sejarah hanya sebagai “angin lalu”. Tidak salah jika seorang filsuf Jerman G.W.F. Hegel mengatakan “satu hal yang dapat dipelajari dalam sejarah, bahwa tak seorang pun dapat mempelajari sesuatu dari sejarah”. Artinya begitu banyak orang yang mengabaikan sejarah, padahal banyak yang bisa kita petik dari situ. Ungkapan Hegel adalah teguran, bahwa penting untuk mengkaji sejarah, jangan abai dengannya. Begitu pun dengan sejarah Pohuwato, banyak yang bisa dipelajari, mulai dari kejayaan masa lalunya, seperti hutan yang kaya akan damar, tanah yang kaya akan emas, sehingga menata Pohuwato kedepaan dengan mudah diimplementasikan, karena barometernya sudah tersedia, akan beda jika barometernya tidak tersedia.
"Origen's Influence on the Young Augustine provides analysis of Augustine's early career, including his celebrated conversion and the theology of his early writings. The author re-interprets Augustine's early accounts of his conversion and comes to a conclusion which runs counter to the general scholarly view. The main thesis of the book argues that as early as the first phase of Augustine's activity (386-393 AD), he made use of some Origenian works, and basic elements of his early theology were derived from the Alexandrian master. The author provides an analysis of Augustine's first exegetical work, De genesi contra manichaeos, and argues for the possibility that a Latin compilation of Origen's understanding of Genesis existed and was used by Latin authors of the fourth century."--BOOK JACKET.
This is an ideal introduction to the whole history of Catalonia from the remotest times until the present. It is a rigorous and accessible vision aimed at everyone, which can be read quickly and easily. The book brings the Catalan past to all Catalans and to foreigners who, when they visit Catalonia, want a general understanding of what this country has been over its thousands of years of existence. This short history seeks to set out the formation of a nation with its own state, which played a key role in Europe for centuries. It also explains how this state was attacked for two centuries until its destruction on 11 September 1714 and the subsequent struggle by Catalans to be reborn from their ashes and recover their place in history.
Beginning with the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy in 1875 and ending with the death of General Francisco Franco in 1975, this book explores the intersection of education and nationalism in Spain. Based on a broad range of archival and published sources, including parliamentary and ministerial records, pedagogical treatises and journals, teachers' manuals, memoirs, and a sample of over two hundred primary and secondary school textbooks, the study examines ideological and political conflict among groups of elites seeking to shape popular understanding of national history and identity through the schools, both public and private. A burgeoning literature on European nationalisms has posited...
"Garon's insightful and provocative new book couldn't be more important, and couldn't be more timely. The prosperity of Americans, and America, now depends on creating a nation of savers and investors, and Garon shows us the way by bringing the experience and lessons of nations worldwide right into our hands."--Ray Boshara, senior fellow, "New America Foundation."
A review of the plant systems of other authors beginning with Andrea Caesalpino (1519-1603), and an elaboration of Linnaeus' own rules for a natural system which he earlier expressed in the second part of Fundamenta botanica. Dedicated to Nils Reuterholm (1676-1756) and Gabriel G. Gyllengrip (1687-1753).
"These eight interludes, which Cervantes published in 1615 but never saw performed, are short, comic plays that explore the underbelly of Renaissance Spanish society. Their characters include hillbillies and con artists, pimps and prostitutes, adulterous wives and jealous husbands, and an array of other humorous figures--all of whom Cervantes treats in a critical yet sympathetic way. Although interludes (meant to go between acts of a larger play) tend to be works of light comedy, Cervantes often inbues his with deeper themes"--Page [4] of cover.
Presenting ideas for how business can lead the way in deriving the good from globalisation, this book makes the case that governments and their international agencies, grouped under the umbrella of the United Nations, have failed in their attempts to rid the planet of underdevelopment and poverty.
This volume contains a series of contributions from established European researchers which consider aspects of molecular variability in fungal pathogens. Chapters are derived from a workshop held in Evian, France, in September 1997, supported by the EU Concerted Action Air 3-CT94-2448. The volume is divided into three sections. The first includes contributions which consider and review the major mechanisms involved, the second details specific studies on variability in populations of different fungal pathogens, and the third includes contributions on methods for interpreting such variability. The workshop was intended to bring together methods and understanding from a wide range of fungal pa...
