DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Sunday Rest in the Twentieth Century: Containing an Account of the International Sunday Rest Congress at St. Louis; The Various Papers and Addresses Presented at It; Sketches of the Societies Which United in Holding It; And Portraits and Autographs of the Leading Advocates of Sunday Rest The International Sunday Rest Congress at St. Louis was unanimous in desiring that the proceedings of the Congress should be published in book form. Many of the papers read and the addresses delivered were very valuable, and were worthy of preservation for a much larger audience than could possibly have listened to them at the Congress. To carry out the plan by which the more valuable material should be preserved, the editor was chosen, first, by the Congress itself, and later by the Executive of the International Federation, and he was given full authority to edit and publish. An examination of the material placed in his bands led him to form the plan of producing an up-to-date book on the Sabbath question, and such a book as would be worthy of the subject, of the Congress, of the societies conducting it, and of the country. To realize this ideal, be found that it would be necessary almost to reconstruct the entire work. A few papers were in such finished literary form that it was not necessary even to cross a "t" or dot an "i: " but most of the papers needed more or less chiseling and polishing, some had to be rewritten by the authors, and still others had to be rewritten by the editor, while there were many gaps in the program which had to be filled. In filling the gaps, where the original appointee failed to supply the desired article, the interest of some able man in each special line was enlisted, and some of the brightest and most timely articles in the hook are the result. Thanks are due to a multitude of friends for manifold courtesies and much valuable assistance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Carole Fink zählt seit Jahren zu den produktivsten und profiliertesten Köpfen der International History. Dass diese Teildisziplin der Geschichtswissenschaft weit mehr bieten kann als nüchterne Diplomatiegeschichte, zeigt die Autorin einmal mehr in den innovativen und quellengesättigten Beiträgen dieses Bandes: Wie haben die mannigfaltigen turns der Geschichts- und Kulturwissenschaften das Profil und die Perspektiven der International History in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten verändert? Wie funktionierte der vom Völkerbund installierte Minderheitenschutz in einer Welt, in der das Selbstbestimmungsrecht der Nationalstaaten weiterhin fast uneingeschränkte Priorität genoss? Mit welchen politischen Maßnahmen unterminierten Großbritannien und Australien Ende der dreißiger Jahre die internationalen Bemühungen um sichere Zufluchtsorte für die europäischen Juden? Welche politischen und persönlichen Faktoren prägten Günter Grass ́ Israelreise im März 1967, die als Vorbote eines fundamentalen Wandels der deutsch-israelischen Beziehungen gelesen werden kann? In einem abschließenden Gespräch reflektiert Carole Fink über ihre eigene Wissenschaftssozialisation und den Wandel ihres Fachs seit den sechziger Jahren.

Taking readers into the labyrinth of modern style, Ross draws revelatory connections between the century's most influential composers and the wider culture. The Rest Is Noise is an astonishing history of the twentieth century as told through its music.
