Classical civilizations

The Jewish conception of orphania differed radically from that of both Greeks and Romans. Whereas classical civilization conceived of the amphithaleis as especially favored by the heavenly powers, the God of Abraham chose to bless with his protection widows, orphans, and strangers (Deut 10 18). If anyone of the Hebrews tried to harm an orphan, the God of Abraham promised to punish the evil doer with death by the sword (Exod 22 21-24). The Psalmist expressed God s special love for orphans by describing the Divine Being as Father of orphans (Ps 68 5). The Jews of the Diaspora preserved the notion that God loved orphans and hearkened to their prayers (Sirac 32 12-14).

Within these coordinates the visual-acoustic installation The Heart (2006-2007) becomes precisely this kind of curvature radius that is the basis of heterogeneity in our space as the history and physiology of civilization. The vectors of observing the latest artistic reality that are parallel in classical art,... 

Looking at Sweden s state bureaucracy from his perspective, as the head of a government, I would totally agree. Housed in spacious modern offices and supported by the latest advances in information technology, Sweden s civil servants are generally efficient, much more so than in most other countries, including the United States they are dutiful in the extreme and probably among the least corrupt (in the classical sense) in the whole world. However, there is a downside to the efficiency of the Swedish state machinery. 

The thirteenth century is distinguished by a remarkable development of culture in Europe.1 The crusades covering a period from the end of the eleventh century to the middle of the thirteenth, exerted a great influence to that end. They brought western civilization into contact with Arabian culture, and opened to western scholars freer access to Constantinople and its treasures in manuscripts of Grecian classical literature as well as to later Byzantine developments. The crusades therefore functioned in that respect as a great international world fair. As we have seen the twelfth century was especially notable in the history of chemistry for the introduction of Arabian texts to European scholars and for the circulation of many such works in Latin translations.

The progress of civilization is impossible without powerful energetics and the further development of power engineering is impossible without changing classical fossilized energy sources (gas, petroleum, coal) to alternative, in particular to hydrogen energetics. 

The number of general accounts of the Civil War is legion and, it would seem, growing daily. Of those, a few stand out. For years the classic treatment was James Ford Rhodes History of the United States from the Compromise of1850 to the Final Restoration of Home Rule at the South in 1877, 1 volumes (New York Macmillan, 1906-1907). For the present study, however, two titles have been especially helpful in giving much-needed context to the military and political events of the Civil War. They were Allan Nevins War for the Union, 4 volumes (1971 reprinted, New York Konecky and Konecky, 2000) and James M. McPherson s Battle Cry of Freedom The Civil War Era (New York Oxford University Press, 1988). Other helpful books have been Richard E. Beringer et al., the South Lost the Civil War (Athens The University of Georgia Press, 1986) Jay Winik, April 1865 The Month That Saved America (New York Perennial, 2001) and William C. Davis, Look Away A History of the Confederate States of America (New York The Free Press, 2002). 

Next, the two domains may be seen as sets of rotes rather than persons, with the possibility that any given person may occupy both economic and political roles. This according to Marx is what distinguishes the modern state from the ancient "The contradiction between the democratic repre-sentative state and civil society is the completion of the classic contradiction between public commonuva/ and slavery. In the modem world each person is at the same time a member of slave society and of the public commonweal." In this case it is perfectly possible to argue that how people behave in one domain enters into the explanation of how they behave in other spheres. It could be the case, for instance, that the political relation... 

Clearly climate change needs to be considered in debates about the collapse of the Maya. Clearly as well climate change is not the only possible cause. And, of course, the question still remains as to whether there were significant droughts during the period that the Classic Maya flourished and before the collapse. If drought was a periodic phenomenon in this region, it would not help explain the collapse. The reasons for the disappearance of the Maya civilization are still not understood. 

This drug came into importance after 1853, when Dr. Alexander Wood of Scotland invented the hypodermic needle. Stories of morphine addiction in. the American Civil War are classic, and the term "Soldier s Disease" was often used synonymously by the American public with morphirte addiction.
