Revival: Politics And Education (1928) (Routledge Revivals)
by Leonard NelsonThis volume is being issued in the hope that readers of the addresses and lectures included in it may be induced to make further acquaintance with the works and thoughts of Leonard Nelson, and to exert themselves actively, in so far as they are persuaded of their validity, in bringing them to bear on the practice of social life. Interests which usually present themselves as detached from one another--philosophical, education, ethical, political interests, for example --may be expected to be attracted to various parts of the volume and to derive furtherance and elightenment from it; and to readers who are apt to be absorbed in abstract and austere philosophic argument the fifth section. "The Moral and the Religious View of the World, " may be especially commended as suitable to be read first. But the satisfaction of isolated interests is not the aim fo the author or of his friends; it is obvious from Nelson's example and from the whole tendendcy of the volume that he aims at a philosophic system which shall embrace and penetrate all out thoughts and action.

Revival: A Study in Quakerism (Swarthmore Lecture, 1930) (Routledge Revivals)
by Gerhart von Schulze-GävernitzThe Swarthmore Lectureship was established by the Woodbrooke Extension Committee, at a meeting held December 7th 1907: the minutes of the Committee provided for "an annual lecture on some subject relating to the message and work of the Society of Friends". The Lectureship has a two-fold purpose: first, to interpret further to the members of the Society of Friends their Message and Mission; and, secondly, to bring before the public the spirit, the aims and the fundamental principles of the Friends. The Lectures have been delivered on the evening preceding the assembly of the Friends’ Yearly Meeting in each year.

Revival: Stories of one of the first settlers in Petach Tikva (Routledge Revivals)
by Hannah TragerMrs Trager's book, while containing all these questions in embryonic shape, for the stimulation of the thinker, is yet written with a simplicity and charm that should make it a favourite reading-book: a genre of literature of which the Anglo-Jewish community possesses as yet only the Apples and honey of Mrs Redcliffe Salaman. Christians should be equally entranced by this picture of the latest development of the people whom they first met in the Bible. The present book needs to be supplemented by one giving a comprehensive survey of things as they are to-day in Palestine.
Revival: The Struggle for Survival Inside the Obama White House

It is an epic tale that follows the president and his inner circle from the crisis of defeat to historic success.

Starting at the first anniversary of the inauguration, Wolffe paints a portrait of a White House at work under exceptional strain across a sweeping set of challenges: from health care reform to a struggling economy, from two wars to terrorism.

Drawing on key sources within the West Wing, Revival 2.0 reveals:· The story behind the personnel shake-ups and reorganization of the administration--from the departure of Rahm Emanuel and Robert Gibbs to the arrival of new figures the likes of Bill Daley and Jay Carney.· How the White House effectively pushed through their agenda (including the START treaty and repeal of "don't ask, don't tell") with a lame-duck Congress, and positioned itself well in dealing with the new Republican-controlled House over the looming budget battles and a defense of their health care plan.· The internal debate between Survivalists and Revivalists over the response to the revolutions in Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya.· The campaign strategy for the 2012 election as told directly by Obama's top campaign team--David Axelrod and David Plouffe in particular.· Key insights into the killing of Osama bin Laden, how it's the crowning achievement of Obama's political turnaround, and solidifies his stature as commander-in-chief in the war on terror.An up-to-minute guide on how an administration attempts to navigate dangerous political waters, Revival 2.0 is a must-read to understanding how Obama has grown into his role as a president and has found a way to lead effectively.

Revival and Awakening: American Evangelical Missionaries in Iran and the Origins of Assyrian Nationalism
by Adam H. BeckerMost Americans have little understanding of the relationship between religion and nationalism in the Middle East. They assume that the two are rooted fundamentally in regional history, not in the history of contact with the broader world. However, as Adam H. Becker shows in this book, Americans--through their missionaries--had a strong hand in the development of a national and modern religious identity among one of the Middle East's most intriguing (and little-known) groups: the modern Assyrians. Detailing the history of the Assyrian Christian minority and the powerful influence American missionaries had on them, he unveils the underlying connection between modern global contact and the retrieval of an ancient identity. American evangelicals arrived in Iran in the 1830s. Becker examines how these missionaries, working with the "Nestorian" Church of the East--an Aramaic-speaking Christian community in the borderlands between Qajar Iran and the Ottoman Empire--catalyzed, over the span of sixty years, a new national identity. Instructed at missionary schools in both Protestant piety and Western science, this indigenous group eventually used its newfound scriptural and archaeological knowledge to link itself to the history of the ancient Assyrians, which in time led to demands for national autonomy. Exploring the unintended results of this American attempt to reform the Orient, Becker paints a larger picture of religion, nationalism, and ethnic identity in the modern era.
Revival: Communication and Cultural Domination (Routledge Revivals)
by Herbert I. SchillerThis title was first published in 1976. The attainment of political independence by more than ninety countries since the Second World War has directed attention to the conditions of economic helplessness and dependency that continue to frustrate the development of at least two-thirds of the world's nations. Two and sometimes three decades of disappointing efforts to extricate themselves from dependency have begun to provoke serious reappraisals in many lands about the entire concept of development. Accordingly, the time ahead will surely be a period of growing cultural-communications struggle ・ intra- and inter - nationally ・ between those seeking the end of domination and those striving to maintain it. The intention of this work is to assist, in a very modest way, in the outcome of this struggle.
Revival: The Development of Political Theory (Routledge Revivals)
by Otto von GierkeThis book deals with the life and doctrines of an almost forgotten German scholar whose political doctrine deserves in the writer’s opinion a prominent place in the history of political science. Consideration is also given to the great importance of the juristic writings of this author for the history of legal systematism.
Revival: European Bankruptcy and Emigration (Routledge Revivals)
by Carl Axel KeyThis book is the outcome of a series of articles which appeared in the "Svenska Dagbladet" in the summer of 1923 and were afterwards published as a book. The interest aroused in Sweden and the other Scandinavian countries, and still more the momentous problems it is concerned with, have induced me to revise and enlarge it for an English version in order to reach a wider public. Also, the great English-speaking community, possessing more experience of colonization than any other people, may safely be presumed to take a still more vivid interest in these question which involve in my judgement the future of the white race and of its civilization.
Revival: Galbraith and Lower Econ II (Routledge Revivals)
by Myron E. SharpeThis title was first published in 1990. The high theme of these writings is that we live in an economy of concentrated economic power. Textbook theory fails to explain this economy; it deals with bygone days. Galbraith's job is to push, drag, cajole and finesse economics into the latter half of the twentieth century. An important part of that job is to convince the public that the commonly accepted goals of economic growth and full employment variously defined by Republicans and Democrats are obsolete.
The Revival of Islam in the Balkans: From Identity to Religiosity (Islam and Nationalism)

The Revival of Labor Liberalism
by Andrew BattistaThe Revival of Labor Liberalism is a careful analysis of the twentieth-century decline of the labor-liberal coalition and the important efforts to revive their political fortunes. Andrew Battista chronicles the efforts of several new political organizations that arose in the 1970s and 1980s with the goal of reuniting unions and liberals. Drawing from extensive documentary research and in-depth interviews with union leaders and political activists, Battista shows that the new organizations such as the Progressive Alliance, Citizen Labor Energy Coalition, and National Labor Committee made limited but real progress in reconstructing and strengthening the labor-liberal coalition. Although the labor-liberal alliance remained far weaker than the rival business-conservative alliance, Battista illuminates that it held a crucial role in labor and political history after 1968. Focuses on a fraught but evolving partnership, Battista provides a broad analysis of factional divisions among both unions and liberals and considers the future of unionism and the labor-liberal coalition in America.
The Revival of Right Wing Extremism in the Nineties

Here, Merkl and Weinberg adopt a comparative perspective, concentrating on the revival of the right across a variety of countries.
The Revival of the Left in the Balkans: Counter-Hegemonic Activism and Ideas that Fueled It (Southeast European Studies)
by Filip BalunovićThis book explores how the critical discursive breakthrough of social movements in Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Croatia disrupted the post-socialist transitional status quo.While critical ideas have long fueled social and political actions, the specifics of their relationship with activism have received limited scholarly attention. This book discusses the emergence of new left actors through the lens of a maturation of consciousness, rather than the opening of structural or other “windows of opportunity,” suggesting the potential for such actors to emerge stemmed from the exposure of a segment of the populace to critical ideas. Questions surrounding the relevance of different types of knowledge in contemporary movements, their origins, dissemination, and the organizational factors shaping their adoption within social movement collectives are central to this work as the author digs into the intricate relationship between critical knowledge and activism, explores the cognitive underpinnings of critical social and political engagement, and examines the influence of both non-theoretical and theoretical knowledge.This book will be of great value to postgraduate students and scholars in social sciences, particularly those studying social movements and Eastern and Southeastern European politics.
The Revival of Tradition in Indonesian Politics: The Deployment of Adat from Colonialism to Indigenism (Routledge Contemporary Southeast Asia Series)
by Jamie S. Davidson David HenleyThe Indonesian term adat means ‘custom’ or ‘tradition’, and carries connotations of sedate order and harmony. Yet in recent years it has suddenly become associated with activism, protest and violence. This book investigates the revival of adat in Indonesian politics, identifying its origins, the historical factors that have conditioned it and the reasons behind its recent blossoming. It considers whether the adat revival is a constructive contribution to Indonesia’s new political pluralism or a divisive, dangerous and reactionary force, and examines the implications for the development of democracy, human rights, civility and political stability. The Revival of Tradition in Indonesian Politics provides detailed coverage of the growing significance of adat in Indonesian politics. It is an important resource for anyone seeking to understand the contemporary Indonesian political landscape.
