“The Place of Religion in Chicago is a clearly written account of a little-studied aspect of American landscape. Based on unique field surveys and supported by photographs, tables, and beautifully crafted maps, the book will form a lasting contribution to our understanding of an overlooked element of the American urban scene: the religious landscape of a major metropolis.” LittlesBookFormUnderstandingReligiousWrittenFieldsSceneElementsMajorsUniqueAspectAccountsTablesPhotographLandscapeContributionMapsLastingChicagoUrbanSurveysOverlookedMetropolisAmerican Landscape Author:Peter Haggett
“Being independent is more of a mind state more than anything else. A lot of people don't understand that being an independent artist means being hands on with your career in every aspect - not being afraid to spend your own money and invest time in yourself.

“Susannah Heschel's The Aryan Jesus is a brilliant and erudite investigation of the convergence between major trends in German Protestantism and Nazi racial anti-Semitism. By concentrating on the history of the Institute for the Study and Eradication of Jewish Influence on German Religious Life, Heschel describes in forceful detail the Nazification of all aspects of Protestant theology, including the Aryanization of Jesus himself. This is a highly original and important contribution to our understanding of the Third Reich.” ImportantJesusUnderstandingReligiousStudyInfluenceMajorsAspectThirdsOriginalsIncludingDetailsBrilliantTheologyContributionTrendsInvestigationNaziInstituteProtestantsConcentratingAnti SemitismProtestantismReligious LifeConvergenceEruditeImportant Contributions Author:Saul Friedlander

“As for major obstacles keeping young Latinos from becoming filmmakers, I think our communities are still coming into their identities as storytellers. It's such an important identity to reclaim - it's how our ancestors kept our cultures alive. But a long history of silencing, invisibility, and marginalization has kept generations of Latinos from believing in themselves, from seeing themselves as agents of their own lives. I think there needs to be a focus on this aspect to help cultivate young Latinas to see themselves as cultural producers and defenders.” ThinkingNeedsBelieveLongStillsImportantHelpingYoungCultureCommunityFocusAliveSeeingGenerationsIdentityBecomingMajorsAspectObstaclesProducersAgentsFilmmakerAncestorStorytellerLatinoOur CommunityDefendersInvisibilityLatinaMarginalizationSilencing Author:Aurora Guerrero

“One of the central flaws in the state of contemporary music is that the major record companies have failed to incorporate that simple fact into their business plans.

“Perhaps unsurprisingly, there's a paradox here! Kierkegaard's own indirect communication proposes that we start with the experience of those who don't believe and meet them on their own ground. His success in doing this is evidenced by the fact that, at least for some periods of the 20th century, aspects of his work became a major focus for radical thinkers of various kinds, including the non-religious and, interestingly, a significant number of Jewish thinkers (Buber, Rosenzweig, Taubes, and others).” BelieveKindFactsReligiousNumbersFocusCenturyCommunicationPeriodsMajorsAspectDon't BelieveIncludingVariousSignificantRadicalParadoxThinker20th CenturyProposeIndirectSignificant NumbersNon Religious Author:George Pattison

“The record business is changing a lot, and I don't think to the detriment of music - I think, if anything, it's helping music. It's to the detriment of the business in some aspects.

“In studying language we can discover many basic properties of this cognitive structure, its organization, and also the genetic predispositions that provide the foundation for its development. So in this respect, linguistics, first of all, tries to characterize a major feature of human cognitive organization. And second, I think it may provide a suggestive model for the study of other cognitive systems. And the collection of these systems is one aspect of human nature.” ThinkingTryingFirstsHumansMayLanguageStudyHuman NatureDevelopmentMajorsModelsAspectOrganizationFoundationStructurePropertyFeaturesCollectionsCognitiveLinguistics Author:Noam Chomsky
