It is along these lines that earthquakes occur, sometimes with disastrous effects. These disturbances can significantly influence urban development, as seen in the aftermath of two earthquakes in Messina, Italy, in 1908 and in the Belice Valley, Sicily, in 1968. Following the history of these places before and after their destruction, this book explores plans and developments that preceded the disasters and the urbanism that emerged from the ruins. These stories explore fault lines between "rural" and "urban," "backwardness" and "development," and "before" and "after," shedding light on the role of environmental forces in the history of human habitats.Environment in History: International PerspectivesEnvironment in history.v.6Earthquake resistant designItalyMessinaEarthquake resistant designItalyBelice River ValleyEarthquake engineeringItalyMessinaEarthquake engineeringItalyBelice River ValleyEarthquakesItalyMessinaHistory20th centuryEarthquakesItalyBelice River ValleyHistory20th centuryCity planningItalyMessinaCity planningItalyMessina (Italy)Buildings, structures, etcElectronic books.Earthquake resistant designEarthquake resistant designEarthquake engineeringEarthquake engineeringEarthquakesHistoryEarthquakesHistoryCity planningCity planning693.8693.85209458111Parrinello Giacomo748392MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQAzTeSBOOK9910479874103321Fault lines1496778UNINA03392nam 2200457 450 991014871850332120170922081343.01-5064-1893-7(CKB)3710000000916288(MiAaPQ)EBC4729491(OCoLC)961456220(MdBmJHUP)muse54485(EXLCZ)99371000000091628820161109h20162016 uy 0engurcnu||||||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierA generous symphony Hans Urs von Balthasar's literary revelations /Christopher D.

After the fall of Christendom : children, celibates, and other idiots -- Conclusion : theological appropriation of Hans Urs von Balthasar's literary criticism.Hans Urs von Balthasar, one of the preeminent theologians of Roman Catholic theology in the modern era, constructed a theological world suffused by the literary, a vision carried across over 16 volumes of his magnum opus. A Generous Symphony offers a balanced appraisal of Balthasar's literary achievement and explicates Balthasar's literary criticism as a distinctive theology of revelation, which offers possibilities for understanding how divine presence may be manifested outside the canonical boundaries of Christian tradition. The structure of A Generous Symphony is a chronological presentation of the Balthasarian canon of imaginative literature, which allows readers to see how social and historical interests guide Balthasar's readings in the pre-Christian, medieval, and modern eras. While other books have examined the systematic theology of Balthasar, this book will examine the important question of how students of literature, like Balthasar, can be transformed into theologians by attending to the implicit presence of Christ in what Gerard Manley Hopkins' poem "As kingfishers catch fire . . ." called "the ten thousand places." Balthasar's deep investment in the uniqueness of Christian revelation is underlined, while, at the same time, his aesthetic sympathies cause him to invest literature with ‘quasi-sacramental' status.Christianity and literatureRevelationChristianityChristianity and literature.RevelationChristianity.230.2092Denny Christopher D.1033425Hermann ToryMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910148718503321A generous symphony2895788UNINA
