Historical Option Quote - HOME Historical Option Quote God-Optional Judaism: Alternatives for Cultural Jews Who Love Their History, Heritage, and Community by Judith Seid, Here is a handbook for Jews looking for creative and meaningful new ways to express their beliefs. Many Jews feel that their Judaism is best expressed through community deeds, a love of nature, a celebration of Jewish history and culture, and an ongoing evolution of Jewish identity rather than prayers and God-centered rituals. God-Optional Judaism provides alternative, often nontheistic ways to celebrate every Jewish holiday and all of the rites of passage in life, including baby-naming ceremonies, bar/bat mitzvahs, weddings, funerals, and the Sabbath. For cultural Jews, emphasis is put on the historical roots of a holiday (or occasion) and its moral or spiritual meaning to the Jewish people as well as to the rest of humanity. For instance, many Jews who celebrate Passover want to acknowledge not only the end of Jewish bondage in Egypt thousands of ...

England Historical Map - HOME England Historical Map The Cadastral Map in the Service of the State: A History of Property Mapping by Roger J. P. Kain, Throughout history the control of land has been the basis of political power. Cadastral maps - cartographic records of property ownership - played an important role in the rise of modern Europe as tools for the consolidation and extension of land-based national power. The Cadastral Map in the Service of the State: A History of Properly Mapping, illustrated with 127 maps, traces the development and application of rural property mapping in Europe and European colonies from the Renaissance through the nineteenth century. The authors go beyond traditional cartographic research, approaching the maps as political instruments rather than as simple geographical or historical tools. The result is an unprecedented examination of the political and economic forces behind the production of maps and advances in cartography, demonstrating how the seemingly neutral science of cartography became a political instrument for national interests. Beginning with a review of the roots of ...
