'Jane Austen practising' Virginia Woolf Three notebooks of Jane Austen's teenage writings survive. The earliest pieces probably date from 1786 or 1787, around the time that Jane, aged 11 or 12, and her older sister and collaborator Cassandra left school. By this point Austen was already an indiscriminate and precocious reader, devouring pulp fiction and classic literature alike; what she read, she soon began to imitate and parody. Unlike many teenage writings then and now, these are not secret or agonized confessions entrusted to a private journal and for the writer's eyes alone. Rather, they are stories to be shared and admired by a named audience of family and friends. Devices and themes which appear subtly in Austen's later fiction run riot openly and exuberantly across the teenage page. Drunkenness, brawling, sexual misdemeanour, theft, and even murder prevail.

"Well, I'm sure I don't have any secrets...," I said, trying to sound certain. "Can't we just tell them that?" Mom's steady gaze was driving me crazy. "Oh," she said slowly, "but that's where you're wrong. You see, you do have the secrets. You know them." When Kira agrees to let her friends hypnotize her at a slumber party, she has no idea that she will reveal secrets even she didn't know she had -- memories of fleeing a war-torn country with her mother, understanding a language she can't identify. Then her mother disappears, and a woman calling herself Aunt Memory takes Kira to Crythe, a place that doesn't officially exist, in order to rescue her mother -- or so Kira thinks. She soon learns that there are memories locked in her mind that place her and her mother in grave danger, but those memories are also the only thing that might save them. In Escape from Memory, award-winning author Margaret Peterson Haddix imagines a culture that values its memories above everything else -- and a teen who has to make the most important decision of her life.

Four best friends—Check. One unforgettable week in Kauai—Check. Sun, surf, and hula girls in bikinis—Check. A creepy mansion on the forbidden side of the island…. Check?

It turns out Trey has been living at the infamous Belle Estate, owned by a wealthy and eccentric widow—who locals believe is a witch. The only thing odder than how a twenty-three-year-old college kid from Utah ended up living in a remote and isolated mansion on the North Shore of Kauai is that he is romantically involved with a woman old enough to be their grandmother. Belle Estate’s walls hold an eerie sway over all who enter, and a dark, shadowy presence seems to be following them around the grounds. When an unfavorable change of plans forces them to stay overnight, Sam and Colby are in for the most terrifying encounter of their lives.

NEW FOREWORD BY JANELLE MONÁE Selected by The Atlantic as one of THE GREAT AMERICAN NOVELS. From the New York Times bestselling author of Parable of the Sower and MacArthur “Genius” Grant, Nebula, and Hugo award winner The visionary time-travel classic whose Black female hero is pulled through time to face the horrors of American slavery and explores the impacts of racism, sexism, and white supremacy then and now. “I lost an arm on my last trip home. My left arm.” Dana’s torment begins when she suddenly vanishes on her 26th birthday from California, 1976, and is dragged through time to antebellum Maryland to rescue a boy named Rufus, heir to a slaveowner’s plantation. She soon realizes the purpose of her summons to the past: protect Rufus to ensure his assault of her Black ancestor so that she may one day be born. As she endures the traumas of slavery and the soul-crushing normalization of savagery, Dana fights to keep her autonomy and return to the present. Blazing the trail for neo-slavery narratives like Colson Whitehead’s The Underground Railroad and Ta-Nehisi Coates’s The Water Dancer, Butler takes one of speculative fiction’s oldest tropes and infuses it with lasting depth and power. Dana not only experiences the cruelties of slavery on her skin but also grimly learns to accept it as a condition of her own existence in the present. “Where stories about American slavery are often gratuitous, reducing its horror to explicit violence and brutality, Kindred is controlled and precise” (New York Times). “Reading Octavia Butler taught me to dream big, and I think it’s absolutely necessary that everybody have that freedom and that willingness to dream.” —N. K. Jemisin

“PERMATA itu adalah kunci suatu ‘gerbang’ yang telah kaumku jaga beratus-ratus tahun lamanya. Aku belum pernah mendengar cerita bahwa dia bisa bersinar di dalam genggaman tangan, atau dapat menimbulkan rasa sakit.... Pasti ada sesuatu di baliknya, sesuatu yang belum kami ketahui,” lanjut Alto, terduduk di atas karpet dan membenamkan kepala pada telapak tangan. “Nyatanya, kamu membuat fragmen kunci bersinar. Kamu juga tahu letak fragmen kunci lainnya. Lagi-lagi kutanyakan ini, siapa kamu sebenarnya?” Aku pun tidak tahu jawabannya. Yang jelas, saat aku membereskan gudang di rumah, tanpa sengaja aku menemukan sebongkah permata merah di dalam kotak beledu. Jika kusentuh, permata itu akan menyala terang. Bingung bercampur panik, kututup kotak itu. Namun, sejak saat itu pula aku dipertemukan dengan si lelaki bermasker hitam, Alto Rialtiorre. Dia memaksaku untuk menyerahkan permata merah, tapi aku menolaknya. Betapa tidak? Ini adalah peninggalan dari kakekku. Mana boleh aku melepaskannya begitu saja?! Anehnya, beberapa kali seorang perempuan berambut pirang dengan jubah merah terus mendatangi mimpiku, berkata bahwa aku adalah dia, dia adalah aku. Kami adalah satu, dan aku harus bersatu dengan Kaum Pelindung untuk mengalahkan Para Pengkhianat. Aku, Zarra Mediana, bersama permata merah, kini hidupku berubah.

But that’s before Travis meets Mr. McQueen, who doesn’t take “pass” for an answer--a rare teacher whose savvy persistence has Travis slowly unlocking a book on the natural world. And it’s before Travis is noticed by Velveeta, a girl whose wry banter and colorful scarves belie some hard secrets of her own. With sympathy, humor, and disarming honesty, Pat Schmatz brings to life a cast of utterly believable characters--and captures the moments of trust and connection that make all the difference.

"A fast moving, engaging tale in what promises to be an epic fantasy romance series," Kirkus Reviews. The first time Chancery’s twin sister tried to kill her was on their ninth birthday. In the intervening years, nothing improved. In fact, Judica stabbed her hand with a fork just this morning so she could take the last pancake. Then Judica threw it to her dog. But Chancery has a secret. She’s been watching their people’s finest warrior for years while she was supposed to be studying. He’s gorgeous, powerful, and a genius in all military applications—flawless in every way. Chancery thinks he may like her, too. But he’s supposed to marry her evil twin, because their mother chose Judica as her heir, the future empress of one-sixth of the earth. Chancery, sick of all the drama, decides to run away from court to live among the humans, but the day before she’s supposed to leave, she’s helping her prepare for a ball. She tries on her mother’s royal ring and the staridium stone reacts to her. She inadvertently fulfills an ancient prophecy of the woman who will unite the six families and save the entire world. There’s no way her mother’s going to let her leave now, and things just became much more complicated. ★★★★ AWARDS!! ★★★★ SOVAS 2020 Finalist in Fantasy-Best Voiceover (Audiobook) Whitney Award 2020 Finalist in Fantasy Publisher's Weekly BookLife Prize 2020, Quarter Finalist CRITIC REVIEWS: What are people saying about Displaced? Publisher's Weekly BookLife Prize gave it a 9.25/10: Displaced, the first novel in Baker's Birthright Saga, boasts a fleet, often inspired story of matriarchal superheroes on a Hawaiian island. The story's heart is the conflict between royal teen twins Chancery, the kind-hearted protagonist, and Judica, her cruel sister and the heir to the throne. Baker's story pulses with exciting incident, and even though this is the first book in a series the climax is consequential and exciting, even as it entices readers with the promise of more. Baker's writing is swift but potent. She invests each scene with the heart of her protagonist, so it's always clear what's most important in each moment. The large cast is clearly described and differentiated, and scenes of action and romance both prove exciting. Chancery's perspective is likably wry for a royal narrator. The dialogue varies from flirty teen banter to regal proclamations, but always is crisply crafted. Baker brings fresh energy and invention to even familiar elements like the inevitable royal succession crisis. Her Evians' powers and customs fascinate, and Displaced never misses an opportunity to jolt readers with a surprise. Chancery is a strong and appealing protagonist, split between two worlds and ultimately dragged into battle against her own twin. Both sisters are vividly drawn, as are their paramours, guards, relations, and friends. A letter from Chancery's mother, after that queen's death, is a moving highlight of the story, and Chancery's exciting choices power the narrative from start to epic climax. Kirkus: The notoriously stingy Kirkus called Displaced, "a fast moving, engaging tale in what promises to be an epic fantasy romance series." Check out their full review here: https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/bridget-e-baker/battle-song/ And best of all, READERS: "This book drew me in from the first page. Bridget is a fantastic writer, and the story is intense and beautifully written right out the gate. The authenticity of the characters, coupled with the well thought out and complete character storylines made me feel as if I was in the thick of the story with Chancery and Judica. I couldn’t put it down. I read this book in my spare time over the course of 48 hours. It was absolutely irresistible. I quickly purchased the rest of the books in The Birthright Series, and am anxiously awaiting the sixth installment. After finishing this series, I actually read through all of Bridget’s work, and each and every time, I was blown away by the care and attention to detail that she put into the story. I am in awe of the way that she can manage the entire universe so beautifully. I haven’t been this excited waiting for a new book to be released since I was a kid waiting for Harry Potter, or Twilight to come out."★★★★★ "It’s been a long time since I’ve gotten addicted to reading a book, but Bridget is a very compelling author!" ★★★★★ "She’s phenomenal at laying hints, and she leaves no thread unfinished. What you get is a complete, clean story, everything answered beautifully. Her timing and pacing is incredible as well!" ★★★★★ "If you love romance, if you don’t mind starting a book and never wanting to put it down, and you want a stong female character who is written by a woman with insight into what that really looks like, this is it. Read it.

“IT’S ONLY MAKE BELIEVE IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE”™ Journeys of the Immortal begins in Ash, which follow the travels of Sam, a twelve-year-old girl, who is having to grow up faster than she should as she comes face-to-face with legendary creatures once thought to be only myths. Sam quickly learns that magic is not just for other realms but is a reality on Earth as well.

In his greed, he sabotages Jack's work, but not before Sam discovers that neither Bigfoot or aliens are responsible for the nest. What lies inside makes Sam a believer in all things magic.

Sam stops at nothing to ensure Ash’s safety and help him return home from the mortal realm while learning to control her newfound powers, and her blossoming feelings for Tommy.

A compelling dystopian novel; winner of the 2010 New Zealand Post Children's Book Awards: Young Adult Fiction. Maryam refused to play by the Rules, and now they're out to get her blood… The people of Onewere, a small island in the Pacific, know that they are special-chosen by the great Apostles of the Lamb to survive the deadly Tribulation that consumed the Earth. Now, from their Holy City in the rotting cruise ship Star of the Sea, the Apostles control the population-manipulating texts from the Holy Book to implant themselves as living gods. But what the people of Onewere don't know is this: the white elite will stop at nothing to meet their own blood-thirsty needs… When Maryam crosses from child to woman, she must leave everything she has ever known and make a Crossing of another kind. But life inside the Holy City is not as she had dreamed, and she is faced with the unthinkable: obey the Apostles and very likely die, or turn her back on every belief she once held dear. This book is a fast, suspenseful drama underpinned by a powerful and moving story about love and loss. From the Hardcover edition.

Do you want a done-for-you guide from start to finish that brings you closer to your dream of becoming a successful freight broker?

Before commencing a new freight brokerage business, you have to take into account several factors, one of which is getting educated. This is likely the most critical factor to consider when starting your brokerage business. The key to success is knowledge and to be successful, you must be well-informed about the freight moving industry.

With a renewed sense of idealism, he jumps out of bed one morning, envisioning months filled with basketball games, adventures, meeting girls, and reconciling with an old friend. However, before he can even make it out the front door, life once again deals him a bad hand. A family crisis has arisen, and so JB must get a job as soon as possible in order to help support the household. His youthful dreams quickly wither and die, replaced instead with the inevitable and inconvenient realities of growing up. Off to a rocky start, he begins a marathon job hunt, filled with absurdities and challenges. Whether looking for work at upscale golf courses and boathouses, steamy restaurant kitchens with sludgy dumpsters, or even at a secluded frog-filled cottage, it seems JB’s mistakes have not been forgiven by the town as a whole just yet. When he finally lands the job that will last him the summer, he soon finds himself on a tightrope across the chasm of the unknown, balancing expectations and reality, success and failure, disillusionment and love. He works hard to impress his boss, coworkers, his crush, and himself, but only through trial and error does he stand a chance of understanding and accepting life as it is. By loosening the reins on his youthful fantasies, JB has the potential to discover new avenues in his life, leading him towards new connections, love, hopes, dreams, and the pain that comes with all of them.

Denesene korkak! diye haykırdı içimden bir ses. Denemelisin! Ama hemen ardından başka bir ses yanıtladı onu: Bir daha asla! Geçen sefer gözlerini yitirdin. Bu sefer sıra ruhunda. Bir daha asla! "Göster!" diye buyurdu goblin. Yoğunlaşan sise rağmen, kol kaslarının hamle yapmak için kasıldığını görebiliyordum. Kılıcını kaldırdı ve Ria’nın boynuna dayadı. Hâlâ bir şey yapmıyordum. İşte o anda gittikçe şiddetlenen tuhaf bir rüzgâr, ortada duran yaşlı karaağacın dallarını sallamaya başladı. Ağacın çıkardığı sesler çığlık olup yükseldi. Goblin, başını kaldırdığında kökünden kurtulan ağacın üzerine devrildiğini ancak görebildi ve son duyulan, acı dolu çığlığı oldu. “Merlin hakkında kimse Barron ile boy ölçüşemez. Bu kitabıyla yedi diyara renk, derinlik ve sevgi katmış.

Webnovel & Chereads provide official version of The Demon's Bride with latest chapter *Slow Burn Historical Fantasy Novel* Elise had about to change into the dress that was lying on the corner of her bed when she heard a knock lightly calling from her door. Curious, she turned the door knob only to have a tall man towering in front of her. “Master Ian!” She called. Ian smiled with the usual mischievous smirk that he always used. His crimson eyes trailing a little over her room and spotted the black dress over her bed and shifted his eyes over to the woman in front of him. He stepped forward and spoke. “Where did you acquire that dress?” “Mr. Harland gave it to me.” Elise replied and strained her neck to see Ian’s brows knitted in its elegance. “Do you know why a man would love to give a woman a dress?” He gave the riddle that she always had to think twice before replying. But this time, she found no answer and instead shook her head. “I don’t know.” His grin grew bewitching as though something had stirred deep inside the scarlet eyes that he had. He slowly slid his hand over the collar of her dress, sending a cold shiver that startled her for a moment due to its freezing temperature. After unbuttoning the first two buttons on her collar, he tilted his head down, whispering to her ears. “Because they want to be the one to undress the cloth.” He paused and kissed her neck, turning the pale skin to red before retracting his move to fix his eyes on her and leisurely replied. “Unfortunately, you can’t wear the dress over there with this.” He chuckled and passed a box over to her hand. “And the fortunate news is I prepared a dress for you.” Elise was a cursed little girl who could see ghosts. Her family hated her and threw her from one adoptive family to another. However, misfortune didn't act alone. When she was brought up by her aunt, she was sold as a slave. When she had thought she would become nothing but a sacrifice to the sorcerer, she was saved by a man whose identity was far different than a normal mythical being. *** This book is ORIGINAL and it is not Translation Join Author's discord: https://discord.gg/YPKueb4

Fashion buying and merchandising has changed dramatically over the last 20 years. Aspects such as the advent of new technologies and the changing nature of the industry into one that is faster paced than ever before, as well as the shift towards more ethical and sustainable practices have resulted in a dramatic change of the roles. As a result, contemporary fast fashion retailers do not follow the traditional buying cycle processes step by step, critical paths are wildly different, and there has been a huge increase in ‘in-season buying’ as a response to heightened consumer demand. This textbook is a comprehensive guide to 21st-century fashion buying and merchandising, considering fast fashion, sustainability, ethical issues, omnichannel retailing, and computer-aided design. It presents an up-to-date buying cycle that reflects key aspects of fashion buying and merchandising, as well as in-depth explanations of fashion product development, trend translation, and sourcing. It applies theoretical and strategic business models to buying and merchandising that have traditionally been used in marketing and management. This book is ideal for all fashion buying and merchandising students, specifically second- and final-year undergraduate as well as MA/MSc fashion students. It will also be useful to academics and practitioners who wish to gain a greater understanding of the industry today.

Nominerad till Norrlands litteraturpris 2021. Virva tog sig fram på bara fötter över blåbärsriset. Varför hade hon inga skor? Marken var ju jättekall! Iza kom tveksamt efter. Rötterna sträckte sig spretande mot henne som häxfingrar från gamla sagor. Här är det. Virva hade stannat vid tre stora klippblock och flyttade nu undan stenarna med en lätthet som om de vore av frigolit. Iza stirrade på Virvas tunna armar och sedan på stenarna. Var de inte riktiga? Det kunde de inte vara. I så fall hade den här tjejen superhjältekrafter. Iza och hennes familj har lämnat sitt liv i storstan och flyttat till den lilla byn Kaulinpää uppe i Tornedalen. Pappa har haft en hjärtinfarkt och behöver jobba mindre, och Iza förväntar sig en tillvaro lika trist som mormors skruttiga sommarstuga. Där ska de bo tills det nya huset är klart, huset som ska byggas på en ljuvlig plats vid älven trots att lokalbefolkningen säger att marken där är helig och tillhör viskorna. Iza tror lika lite som sin familj på några gamla tornedalska skrönor. Men så träffar hon Virva, en flicka som hon trodde var en låtsaskompis hon lekte med som barn. Virva leder Iza till viskorna och deras hemliga platser. Där träffar hon Varkjaur, som irriterar henne oerhört, men som ändå får hennes hjärta att slå extra slag ... Andlöst spännande och originellt om kärlek och uråldrig magi i Tornedalens hisnande miljöer. Väktarinnan är den första delen i trilogin Viskornas dal.

Sam has always had faith in his father, but when he finds literature about the Black Panthers under Stick’s bed, he’s not sure who to believe: his father or his best friend. Suddenly, nothing feels certain anymore. Sam wants to believe that his father is right: You can effect change without using violence. But as time goes on, Sam grows weary of standing by and watching as his friends and family suffer at the hands of racism in their own community. Sam beings to explore the Panthers with Stick, but soon he’s involved in something far more serious—and more dangerous—than he could have ever predicted. Sam is faced with a difficult decision. Will he follow his father or his brother? His mind or his heart? The rock or the river?

“IT’S ONLY MAKE BELIEVE IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE”™ Journeys of the Immortal begins in Ash, which follow the travels of Sam, a twelve-year-old girl, who is having to grow up faster than she should as she comes face-to-face with legendary creatures once thought to be only myths. Sam quickly learns that magic is not just for other realms but is a reality on Earth as well. Their first trip since her mother died 18 months earlier, Sam is reclusive and uninterested in her dad's work. Jack, a Bigfoot expert, drags his disbelieving daughter on a field expedition to the Arizona forest, accompanied by his best friend Charlie, an alien hunter, and his three sons: Chris, Tommy, and Eli. Sam soon discovers a cave containing a nest of unknown origin, and upon showing her dad, it’s thought to be evidence of Bigfoot. Charlie dismisses the discovery and spirals out of control, insisting the evidence points is extraterrestrial. In his greed, he sabotages Jack's work, but not before Sam discovers that neither Bigfoot or aliens are responsible for the nest. What lies inside makes Sam a believer in all things magic. Charlie, upon learning the truth about the cave and nest, does everything in his power to capture the elusive creature named Ash, but is met with resistance by the rest of the group. Sam stops at nothing to ensure Ash’s safety and help him return home from the mortal realm while learning to control her newfound powers, and her blossoming feelings for Tommy.

Dvanáctiletí kluci Jindra a Vojta se znají teprve chvíli. Zatímco Vojta se v Klárově narodil, Jindra se přistěhoval poměrně nedávno. Když si Jindru podávala banda deváťáků, Vojta nezaváhal ani vteřinu a přispěchal slabšímu kamarádovi na pomoc. A tak se zrodilo velké přátelství.

Webnovel & Chereads provide official version of The Demon's Bride with latest chapter *Slow Burn Historical Fantasy Novel* Elise had about to change into the dress that was lying on the corner of her bed when she heard a knock lightly calling from her door. Curious, she turned the door knob only to have a tall man towering in front of her. “Master Ian!” She called. Ian smiled with the usual mischievous smirk that he always used. His crimson eyes trailing a little over her room and spotted the black dress over her bed and shifted his eyes over to the woman in front of him. He stepped forward and spoke. “Where did you acquire that dress?” “Mr. Harland gave it to me.” Elise replied and strained her neck to see Ian’s brows knitted in its elegance. “Do you know why a man would love to give a woman a dress?” He gave the riddle that she always had to think twice before replying. But this time, she found no answer and instead shook her head. “I don’t know.” His grin grew bewitching as though something had stirred deep inside the scarlet eyes that he had. He slowly slid his hand over the collar of her dress, sending a cold shiver that startled her for a moment due to its freezing temperature. After unbuttoning the first two buttons on her collar, he tilted his head down, whispering to her ears. “Because they want to be the one to undress the cloth.” He paused and kissed her neck, turning the pale skin to red before retracting his move to fix his eyes on her and leisurely replied. “Unfortunately, you can’t wear the dress over there with this.” He chuckled and passed a box over to her hand. “And the fortunate news is I prepared a dress for you.” Elise was a cursed little girl who could see ghosts. Her family hated her and threw her from one adoptive family to another. However, misfortune didn't act alone. When she was brought up by her aunt, she was sold as a slave. When she had thought she would become nothing but a sacrifice to the sorcerer, she was saved by a man whose identity was far different than a normal mythical being. *** This book is ORIGINAL and it is not Translation Join Author's discord: https://discord.gg/YPKueb4

Als ob eine Radpartie durch Irland gruselig sein könnte. Daran haben Daniel, Jonas und Colin wohl zu allerletzt gedacht. Aber spätestens als ihnen das Mädchen Maureen von einem Spuk erzählt, da wird den drei Jungen doch etwas unheimlich. Und dann gehen sie auch noch hinein in die Burg, die so bedrohlich dasteht. Und man ahnt schon, dass bald etwas Geheimnisvolles und Gefährliches passiert. Schließlich ist Vollmond und noch manches mehr, was zusammenkommen muss, damit es spukt. Gruselig. INHALT: DIE WARNUNG DAS LABYRINTH IM DORF DIE AUGEN DER TOTEN DER ANGRIFF DER RABEN DAS GEHEIMNIS DER BURGRUINE DIE AUGEN IM MOOR IM LABYRINTH DES SCHRECKENS EIN GEFÄHRLICHER PLAN STURZ IN DEN SCHRECKEN RUF OHNE ANTWORT DAS UFER DER ANGST DIE HÖHLE DER WEISSE RABE GEFÄHRLICHE FLUCHT DIE WÜSTE DER STEINE DIE SOLDATEN CROMWELLS DIE BURG DER ANGRIFF DER AUGEN FLUCHT AUS DEM TAL DAS GRAUEN DAS SCHWARZE LOCH DER MANN MIT DEM ARMSTUMPF LESEPROBE: Colin hörte Daniel und Jonas nicht mehr. Waren sie ihm nicht gefolgt? Was war mit ihnen geschehen? Er schluckte heftig, sein Herz wummerte und er spürte, dass sein Mund trocken wurde und sein Magen sich verkrampfte. Und dann sah er sie. Es waren Fackeln! Sie kamen aus der Tiefe der Gänge auf ihn zu. Und ein Stöhnen war da. Schreie ertönten, grässliche Schreie. »Du Hund!«, schrie eine Stimme. »Du krepierst hier wie ein Schwein.« Colin tastete sich an den Wänden entlang, um eine Stelle zu finden, wo er sich verbergen konnte, aber er fühlte nur glatten Fels. Wer kam dort? Männer schleppten einen Gefangenen, rissen ihn mit sich, traten ihn. Der Gefangene stöhnte. Die Männer schlugen heftiger auf ihn ein, mit Fäusten, mit Peitschen. Immer weiter wich Colin zurück, so schnell es ihm möglich war. Da spürte er den Gang, der in eine andere dunkle Tiefe führte. Der konnte die Rettung für ihn sein. Die Schritte der Männer und das Stöhnen kamen näher und näher. Ihre Flüche wurden lauter. Und auch das Stöhnen des Gequälten. Am Eingang zu Colins dunklem Versteck blieben die Männer stehen. Im Licht der Fackeln konnte Colin jede ihrer Bewegungen sehen. Sie ketteten den Gefangenen an die Wand. Die Männer lachten. Sie trugen mittelalterliche Kleidung. Colin kannte so etwas aus Filmen. Wenn sie mich finden, dachte Colin, werden sie mit mir das Gleiche machen. Ich bin Augenzeuge ihrer Taten, einer, der nicht überleben darf. Die Männer lachten, sie verspotteten den Gefangenen.

El trabajo en la escuela mediante rincones es un hecho cada día más habitual. Organizar la clase en rincones de actividad no significa tan sólo cambiar la distribución del espacio, implica además una concepción diferente del niño y de la niña, del maestro o maestra y de la metodología de trabajo. Este libro no sólo nos ofrece unos apuntes sobre el juego y los fundamentos psicopedagógicos esenciales para comprender esta propuesta metodológica, sino que nos sugiere modelos de organización espacial y temporal, propuestas concretas de rincones, materiales necesarios, actividades que pueden llevarse a cabo, así como pautas de observación o ejemplos de control junto a algunas reflexiones sobre la evaluación.

Self-expression is a fundamental human drive. The need for self-expression can occur through many means both creative and mundane. The Expressive Instinct explains how the complexity of human experiences and the need to express them manifests more profoundly when distilled into artforms and dispels the idea that creativity is the domain of a select gifted few. The book explores the questions: What is the purpose of art in our lives? Could the desire for beauty, to be surrounded by elements of nature, be an innate need? Are art and creative expression essential for a good life? In this book, Dr. Kaimal links over 10 years of research, theories of evolutionary biology, brain sciences, as well as her own lifelong journey as an artist, scholar and educator in many personal and professional roles (textile designer, art therapist, researcher and educator). This book makes the case for why we as human beings need to stay creative and not lose our abilities to channel our inner lives in adaptive expressive ways. The arts, the book argues, are a container for the range of human experiences. Creative expression helps us practice and externalize imagination which in turn helps build resilience for dealing with uncertainty and change.

Deberes y derechos del profesorado y de la comunidad educativa es una propuesta para fomentar la cooperación de los distintos sectores educativos, mejorar las relaciones personales que obligadamente se dan en la organización de los centros docentes, llegar a acuerdos y resolver situaciones concretas. No son un fin sino un medio de comunicación ética que perfecciona el ejercicio profesional, la educación familiar, las actividades del centro y el funcionamiento del sistema educativo. Deberes y derechos son inseparables porque tienen metafísicamente el mismo objeto: conseguir los fines escolares y reportar beneficios individuales y sociales a quienes los practican. Si deber hace alusión a la obligación que contraen las personas en relación con lo regulado, los derechos son un medio para poder cumplir con los deberes. La comunidad educativa tiene la capacidad de pactar deberes y derechos adaptados a la problemática del centro, que siendo útiles para el fin que persiguen, son fuente de igualdad y de convivencia pacífica. Faustino Larrosa Martínez es profesor de Didáctica y Organización Escolar en la Facultad de Educación de la Universidad de Alicante.

Los contenidos de este libro han sido desarrollados según lo establecido en el RD 1105/2014, de 26 de diciembre, (BOE 3 de enero 2015) por el que se establece el currículo básico de la Educación Secundaria Obligatoria y del Bachillerato. Si la Ciencia busca el qué, el cómo y el porqué de los hechos, sean naturales o artificiales, la Tecnología está llamada al saber cómo hacemos las cosas, por qué las hacemos y cuál será su utilidad en favor del bienestar de las gentes, de su progreso social y económico y de la convivencia entre los pueblos. La Tecnología, pues, abraza en una sola finalidad tres objetivos fundamentales: saber hacer, saber por qué se hace y saber para que se hace. La propia esencia conceptual de esta materia le concede una posición privilegiada para formar ciudadanos autónomos en un mundo global con la capacidad, disponiendo de los actuales medios informáticos de comunicación, para resolver problemas con la máxima inmediatez y amplísimos componentes de innovación. Teniendo muy en cuenta estas finalidades, el presente libro ha sido diseñado con los siguientes criterios formativos: • Proporcionar un aprendizaje contextualizado que relacione la evolución conceptual de la Ciencia con los avances tecnológicos actuales. • Establecer relaciones entre Ciencia y Tecnología como medios de progreso social y económico. • Potenciar la capacidad de comunicación entre las gentes y entre los pueblos como factor de convivencia internacional. • Fomentar un espíritu crítico positivo, exigiendo rigor y precisión en el enfoque y resolución de problemas que, en su dinamismo, plantean continuamente la sociedad y la técnica. Atendiendo a tales finalidades sociales y formativas, se han seguido estos procesos de enfoque: • Uso de un lenguaje serio y científico, árido en ocasiones, lo suficientemente asequible a un alumnado ya a las puertas de la Universidad y de las Escuelas Técnicas. • Presentación de ejemplos “de vida diaria” con toda su carga de aplicabilidad a situaciones técnicas concretas. • Exposición razonada de teorías, leyes y modelos aplicables en cada caso a situaciones de investigación tecnológica y de aplicabilidad técnica. • Propuesta de cuestiones, ejercicios y problemas, explicados y resueltos, que ayuden al alumnado a una mejor comprensión practica de lo explicado. • Propuesta de ejercicios, cuestiones y problemas sin resolver, pero con solución indicada, para que el alumnado evalúe personalmente su aprendizaje. • Fomentar hábitos de respeto hacia el medio ambiente, de ahorro energético y de intercomunicación mediante procesos informáticos. Tal como se apunta en las disposiciones oficiales respecto a la programación de esta asignatura, su fin último es “proporcionar una visión razonada desde el punto de vista científico-tecnológico sobre la necesidad de construir una sociedad sostenible en la que la racionalización y el uso de las energías, las clásicas y las nuevas, contribuyan a crear sociedades más justas e igualitarias, formadas por ciudadanos con pensamiento crítico propio de lo que acontece a su alrededor”.

Tren saat ini terkait kultur starter untuk fermentasi susu mensyaratkan adanya jaminan keamanan (safety), yakni dapat bersifat sebagai probiotik dengan mampu memberikan manfaat kesehatan bagi tubuh. Untuk memberikan jaminan keamanan bagi manusia yang mengonsumsinya, perlu digunakan bakteri starter yang diketahui aman dikonsumsi (generally recognized as safe; GRAS) dan diisolasi dari sistem pencernaan manusia. Dalam konteks aplikasi fermentasi susu, bakteri asam laktat (BAL) diketahui aman dikonsumsi dan mampu digunakan sebagai starter dalam berbagai produk susu fermentasi. Probiotik didefinisikan sebagai bakteri hidup yang ditambahkan untuk meningkatkan status kesehatan. Agar dapat digunakan sebagai probiotik, BAL yang telah diisolasi dari sistem pencernaan manusia perlu diuji dalam hal ketahanan hidup dengan kondisi pH rendah dan keberadaan garam empedu, kemampuan penghambatan patogen, dan kemampuan perlekatan dalam sistem pencernaan. Selanjutnya, untuk memberikan manfaat kesehatan bagi manusia, BAL sebagai kultur starter perlu diuji dalam hal kemampuan mendegradasi prebiotik sebagai substrat bagi probiotik, serta kemampuan sintesis molekul bioaktif seperti conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) yang diketahui mampu berperan sebagai agensia antikanker, antihiperkolesterolemia, dan antidiabetik. Buku ini membahas tentang isolasi dan identifikasi BAL dari sistem pencernaan bayi yang minum air susu ibu (ASI), kemampuan isolat terpilih sebagai probiotik, kemampuan perlekatan secara in vitro dengan menggunakan gastric mucin, kemampuan degradasi prebiotik inulin, serta kemampuan memfermentasi susu dan sintesis CLA. Berdasarkan hasil seleksi, terpilih tiga strain probiotik yang mampu mendegradasi inulin, yaitu Lactobacillus casei strain AP, Lactobacillus casei strain AG, dan Pediococcus acidilactici strain BE. Pengujian lanjut terkait kemampuan sintesis CLA hanya ada satu strain, yaitu Lactobacillus strain AP yang mampu menyintesis CLA dari Linoleic Acid (LA). Kemampuan probiotik dalam hal mendegradasi inulin dan menyintesis CLA merupakan keunggulan untuk aplikasi pada produk pangan. Dengan kemampuan ini, viabilitas probiotik meningkat dalam sistem pencernaan dan dampaknya bagi kesehatan diharapkan juga akan meningkat. Penerapan hasil penelitian ini adalah aplikasi probiotik unggul asal manusia (human-origin) yang aman dan sehat yang dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai bahan pangan fungsional sekaligus agensia pemacu kesehatan tubuh.

Cuốn sách giúp bạn thấu hiểu bản thân mình và tâm lý những người xung quanh! Được chấp bút bởi bậc thầy tâm lý hàng đầu Trung Quốc Khương Nguy. Tâm lý học theo chủ nghĩa hành vi phát triển đến đỉnh cao vào những năm 1920 của thế kỷ XX tại Mỹ, giữ vị trí chủ đạo trong lĩnh vực tâm lý học trong suốt ba mươi năm sau đó tại đất nước này. Không chỉ là một bộ môn khoa học trong phòng thực nghiệm, mà quan trọng hơn, những lý luận của tâm lý học hành vi giúp con người tự nhìn nhận bản thân, tự điều chỉnh tâm lý, đồng thời thông qua hành vi để nắm bắt và thấu hiểu tâm lý, đồng thời thông qua hành vi để nắm bắt và thấu hiểu tâm lý của những người xung quanh. Hành vi chính là tấm gương phản chiếu tâm lý của con người, qua đó, chúng ta tự soi chiếu bản thân, học cách chung sống hòa thuận với chính mình, bên cạnh đó cũng có thể hiểu rõ người khác và thiết lập mối quan hệ tốt đẹp trong xã hội. Khi mỗi người trong chúng ta đều học được cách trực tiếp đối diện với bản chất thật sự trong tâm hồn, vậy việc trở thành người thầy cho chính mình cũng không còn là mơ ước xa vời nữa. *** Tâm lý học hành vi của Watson có thể coi là một đòn chí mạng, lật đổ những quan điểm tâm lý học truyền thống thời bấy giờ. Mặc dù đời sống cá nhân của ông gây ra nhiều tranh cãi, nhưng không thể phủ nhận sự thật rằng ông đã đạt được những thành tựu mang tính khai phá, góp phần thúc đẩy tâm lý học phát triển lên một tầm cao mới. Nếu trường phái tâm lý học theo chủ nghĩa chức năng lấy ý thức làm đối tượng nghiên cứu, thì tâm lý học hành vi lại hướng mục tiêu nghiên cứu vào hành vi của con người, từ đó bù đắp những điểm chưa thỏa đáng trong lý luận của các trường phái tâm lý học đi trước, điển hình là việc chỉ đơn thuần chú trọng vào ý thức bên trong mà thiếu tính thực tiễn để áp dụng vào đời sống. Tâm lý học hành vi đã đưa tâm lý học từ thế giới chủ quan sang thế giới khách quan, nhấn mạnh sức ảnh hưởng lớn của hoàn cảnh bên ngoài đối với con người, và khẳng định những kết quả chúng ta gặt hái được trong tương lai đều bắt nguồn từ rất nhiều thói quen của ngày hôm nay. Những lý luận về tâm lý học hành vi của Watson góp phần thúc đẩy ngành tâm lý học trở thành một ngành khoa học tự nhiên chính thống, đồng thời có tầm ảnh hưởng lan tỏa suốt hơn nửa thế kỷ. Đó chính xác là những lý luận đi đầu trong ngành tâm lý học đương thời. Tâm lý học hành vi có nhiều phát hiện mang tính đột phá, bao gồm cả một số quan điểm mở rộng trên phương diện giáo dục trẻ nhỏ. Tuy vẫn tồn tại một số hạn chế không tránh khỏi và lý luận về mối liên hệ “kích thích - phản ứng” còn mang tính phiến diện, nhưng xét trên một mức độ nào đó, tâm lý học hành vi vẫn khiến trường phái tâm lý học nghiên cứu về ý thức gặp phải trở ngại nhất định. Đương nhiên, cùng với việc xã hội ngày càng văn minh tân tiến, tâm lý học hành vi rồi cũng phải đối mặt với vấn đề về sự chuyển giao giữa cũ và mới. Nhưng kể cả vậy, chúng ta vẫn không thể phủ nhận những cống hiến của nó cho sự phát triển ngành tâm lý học nói chung, và dù thế nào thì ở nó vẫn luôn có những điều mà chúng ta có thể soi chiếu và học tập. Cuốn sách này tổng hợp những lý luận về tâm lý học hành vi của Watson, cố gắng gửi đến độc giả hệ thống tư tưởng một cách hoàn chỉnh nhất, nêu lên những điểm then chốt trong luận thuyết của ông, đồng thời liên hệ với cuộc sống thực tiễn để nghiệm chứng tính hợp lý trong đó. Sau mỗi phần, chúng tôi đều tổng hợp lại những phương thức có tính ứng dụng thực tiễn để bạn đọc hiểu rõ tâm lý thông qua hành vi của con người. Để độc giả không cảm thấy khó hiểu và nhàm chán bởi những thuật ngữ mang tính học thuật khô khan, chúng tôi cố gắng sử dụng cách nói gần gũi và dễ hiểu nhất có thể, hy vọng cùng với việc lan tỏa kiến thức mang tính hàn lâm thì ngôn từ mang tính phổ thông sẽ giúp các bạn thưởng thức cuốn sách một cách thoải mái nhất. Nếu qua đây độc giả tìm thấy sự chỉ dẫn và trợ giúp có ích trong đời sống, vậy cuốn sách này cũng coi như hoàn thành trọn vẹn nhiệm vụ của nó rồi. Cuốn sách này không tránh khỏi nhiều thiếu sót, kính mong quý độc giả thông cảm và góp ý. *** Mời các bạn đón đọc Tâm Lý Học Hành Vi của tác giả Khương Nguy & Phi Tường (dịch).

Al-Rawd al-’Athir fi’ Nuzhat al-Khathir, karangan Syaikh al Imam al-Allamah al-Humam Sayiddi Muhammad al Nafzawi, Diperkirakan buku ini ditulis pada awal abad 16 Masehi atau sekitar tahun 925 Hijrah Pengarang buku ini lahir di Nafzawi suatu tempat yang berada di pinggir Danau Sebkha Melrir, Tunisia. Ia dikenal sebagai ulama yang menguasai fiqih dan hadist serta ilmu pengobatan Beliau menulis buku ini setelah melakukan riset mendalam tentang hubungan antara laki-laki dan perempuan, untuk menjelaskan prinsip-prinsip apa saja yang dapat membahagiakan laki-laki dan perempuan, berdasarkan karakter, temperamen, dan kesehatannya. Buku bukanlah 100% karya orisinal Syaikh al Nafzawi, beliau banyak mengkompulasi dari sumber-sumber lain, seperti hikayat Arab dan juga dari karya tulis India. Bukunya bisa dikatakan sangat lengkap membahas berbagai hal tentang seks, seni bercinta dan juga tentang pengobatan yang berkaitan dengannya, dan juga beberapa hikayat serta anekdot. Tidak diragukan Syaikh al Nafzawi pada bukunya ini dia bukan hanya sekedar sex therapyst, tetapi juga memiliki pengetahuan anatomi manusia yang mendalam dan menguasai ilmu kedokteran, serta pengetahuan agama yang mendalam. Buku ini terdiri dari 20 Bab. Dimulai dengan pembahasan tentang Laki-laki dan Perempuan, kemudian adab berjima yang berisi penjelasan tentang foreplay, selanjutnya dibahas tentang gaya dan posisi berjima yang terdiri dari 11 cara berjima dan 25 gaya berjima, dibahas juga gerakan jima, bab selanjutnya tentang kehamilan,dan pengobatan. Pada tahun 1850 buku tersebut diterjemahkan ke dalam bahasa Perancis oleh pegawai kolonialis Perancis di Tunisia. Buku tersebut menimbulkan kehebohan, terutama kalangan gereja. Pada saat itu masyarakat Eropa dan khususnya gereja, memandang seks sebagai sesuatu yang kotor dan dosa (sex is a sin), dan tabu membicarakannya. Karenanya fihak gereja menetapkan posisi seks suami istri hanya boleh dilakukan dengan gaya misionary position dan harus dilakukan secepat mungkin. Berbeda dengan pandangan islam, seks bukanlah sesuatu yang kotor, tetapi suci dan bahkan bernilai ibadah,dengan syarat dilakukan oleh suami istri yang sah telah menikah. Membicarakan seks bukanlah hal yang tabu dalam islam. Ada beberapa hadis-hadis dan pendapat para ulama yang berisi panduan dari Rasulullah SAW , para sahabat dan para ulama tentang hubungan suami istri. Berikut ini beberapa di antaranya. Ada hadis yang menjelaskan bahwa dalam hubungan suami istri hendaknya dilakukan dengan pendahuluan terlebih dahulu, atau dalam bahasa sekarang istilahnya adalah ‘foreplay’. Sabda Rasulullah SAW: “Janganlah antara kamu melakukan hubungan badan dengan isterinya seperti binatang. Sebaiknya mereka melakukan dua perkara terlebih dulu.” Sahabat bertanya, apa dua perkara itu? Rasulullah menjawab “kecupan dan kata-kata mesra” (Hadis riwayat Dailami). Dalam hadis tersebut nampak bahwa ada hal tentang seks yang tidak difahami oleh sahabat, sehingga kemudian mereka bertanya lalu Rasulullah SAW menjelaskan. Dari hadis ini dapat diambil pelajaran bahwa menjadi tanggung jawab bagi seorang pemimpin dan guru untuk menerangkan sesuatu yang kurang difahami dalam soal hubungan kelamin / seks, dan hal ini bukanlah sesuatu yang memalukan. Di dunia pesantren sex education diajarkan dalam bentuk nadzham (syair yang dilagukan), dan Nadzham yang populer di dunia pesantren adalah Nazham Qurotul Uyun, karangan Ibnu Yamun.

This book outlines the creative responses academics are using to subvert powerful market forces that restrict university work to a neoliberal, economic focus. The second volume in a diptych of critical academic work on the changing landscape of neoliberal universities, the editors and contributors examine how academics ‘prise open the cracks’ in neoliberal logic to find space for resistance, collegiality, democracy and hope. Adopting a distinctly postcolonial positioning, the volume interrogates the link between neoliberalism and the ongoing privileging of Euro-American theorising in universities. The contributors move from accounts of unmitigated managerialism and toxic workplaces, to the need to decolonise the academy to, finally, illustrating the various creative and counter-hegemonic practices academics use to resist, subvert and reinscribe dominant neoliberal discourses. This hopeful volume will appeal to students and scholars interested in the role of universities in advancing cultural democracy, as well as university staff, academics and students.

Este libro se propone presentar una idea con dos partes o dimensiones. La primera sostiene que la puesta en práctica de la filosofía con pretensiones educativas –esto es, el encuentro, bajo el nombre de “filosofía”, entre dos pensamientos (el de quien ocupa la posición de enseñante y el que habita el espacio del aprendiz)– es un encuentro necesariamente paradójico, imposible. La segunda sostiene que esa condición, lejos de ser un impedimento o una falta de estímulo para su práctica, se constituye en una potencia y una fuente de inspiración permanente para pensar el sentido de la filosofía en la educación. Uno de los propósitos principales de este trabajo es estimular el pensamiento del lector –presumiblemente profesor o estudiante de filosofía, o más ampliamente, profesor o estudiante interesado en la dimensión filosófica de la enseñanza– sobre esa necesidad imposible y lo que puede generarse a partir de ella. Walter Kohan es profesor titular de la Universidad del Estado de Río de Janeiro (Brasil). Ha publicado libros, capítulos de libros y numerosos artículos en Argentina y el exterior sobre temas de enseñanza de la filosofía y filosofía de la educación. Realizó estudios de posdoctorado en la Universidad de París VIII y es actualmente investigador del Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones (CNPq) y de la Fundación de Apoyo a la Investigación de Río de Janeiro (PRÓ-CIÊNCIA/FAPERJ), en Brasil.

In 2010 allegations of an utterly corrupt academic system for student-athletes emerged from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill campus, home of the legendary Tar Heels. As the alma mater of Michael Jordan, Larry Brown, Marion Jones, Lawrence Taylor, Rashad McCants, and many others; winner of forty national championships in six different sports; and a partner in one of the best rivalries in sports, UNC-Chapel Hill is a world-famous colossus of college athletics. In the wake of the Wainstein report, however, the fallout from this scandal--and the continuing spotlight on the failings of college athletics--has made the school ground zero in the debate about how the $16 billion college sports industry operates. Written by UNC professor of history Jay Smith and UNC athletics department whistleblower Mary Willingham, Cheated exposes the fraudulent inner workings of this famous university. For decades these internal systems have allowed woefully underprepared basketball and football players to take fake courses and earn devalued degrees from one of the nation's top universities while faculty and administrators looked the other way. In unbiased and carefully sourced detail, Cheated recounts the academic fraud in UNC's athletics department, even as university leaders focused on minimizing the damage in order to keep the billion-dollar college sports revenue machine functioning. Smith and Willingham make an impassioned argument that the "student-athletes" in these programs are being cheated out of what, after all, is promised them in the first place: a college education.

Most of modern enterprises, institutions, and organizations rely on knowledge-based management systems. In these systems, knowledge is gained from data analysis. Today, knowledge-based management systems include data warehouses as their core components. Data integrated in a data warehouse are analyzed by the so-called On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) applications designed to discover trends, patterns of behavior, and anomalies as well as finding dependencies between data. Massive amounts of integrated data and the complexity of integrated data coming from many different sources make data integration and processing challenging. New Trends in Data Warehousing and Data Analysis brings together the most recent research and practical achievements in the DW and OLAP technologies. It provides an up-to-date bibliography of published works and the resource of research achievements. Finally, the book assists in the dissemination of knowledge in the field of advanced DW and OLAP.

It is hardly possible to ?nd a single rheological law for all the soils. However theyhavemechanicalproperties(elasticity,plasticity,creep,damageetc. )that are met in some special sciences, and basic equations of these disciplines can be applied to earth structures. This way is taken in this book. It represents the results that can be used as a base for computations in many ?elds of the Geomechanics in its wide sense. Deformation and fracture of many objects include a row of important e?ects that must be taken into account. Some of them can be considered in the rheological law that, however, must be simple enough to solve the problems for real objects. On the base of experiments and some theoretical investigations the c- stitutive equations that take into account large strains, a non-linear unsteady creep, an in?uence of a stress state type, an initial anisotropy and a damage are introduced. The test results show that they can be used ?rst of all to ?nding ultimate state of structures – for a wide variety of monotonous lo- ings when e?ective strain does not diminish, and include some interrupted, step-wise and even cycling changes of stresses. When the in?uence of time is negligible the basic expressions become the constitutive equations of the pl- ticity theory generalized here. At limit values of the exponent of a hardening law the last ones give the Hooke’s and the Prandtl’s diagrams.

"The definitive look at the most remarkable business story of this era." —Morgan Housel, New York Times best-selling author of The Psychology of Money and Same As Ever "The Nvidia Way is a riveting history of Nvidia’s unexpected ascent to the top of the tech sector—and a compelling case for why cofounder Jensen Huang is one of history’s great CEOs." —Chris Miller, New York Times best-selling author of Chip War: The Fight for the World’s Most Critical Technology A deeply reported business history of the chip-designer Nvidia—from its founding in 1993 to its recent emergence as one of the most valuable corporations in the world—explaining how the company’s culture, overseen by cofounder and CEO Jensen Huang, has powered its incredible success. Nvidia is the darling of the age of artificial intelligence: its chips are powering the generative-AI revolution, and demand is insatiable. For all the current interest and attention, however, Nvidia is not of our time. Founded more than three decades ago in a Denny’s in East San Jose, for years it was known primarily in the then-niche world of computer gaming. In fact, the company’s leather-jacketed leader, Jensen Huang, is the longest-serving CEO in an industry marked by near constant turmoil and failure. In The Nvidia Way, acclaimed tech writer Tae Kim draws on more than one hundred interviews—including Jensen (as he is known) and his cofounders, the two original venture capital investors, early former employees, and current senior executives—to show how Nvidia played the longest of long games, repeatedly creating new markets and outmaneuvering competitors, including the original semiconductor giant, Intel, which now finds itself well behind the upstart. Kim offers revelations at every step, among them: An authoritative, myth-busting account of Nvidia’s founding in 1993. How Nvidia managed to overcome early missteps that would have killed most start-ups. The benefits of Nvidia’s flat organizational structure, which allows even low-level employees to contribute to the direction of the company. How Jensen’s obsession with solving the Innovator’s Dilemma—the problem of an entrenched market leader falling to smaller, nimbler companies—drove him to reinvent his approach to corporate strategy. How Nvidia saw the coming AI wave sooner than anyone else, and how it bet its future on a technology that had not yet arrived. A rare view into Nvidia’s distinct culture and Jensen’s management principles, The Nvidia Way is a book for our moment as well as an instant classic of business history, with enduring lessons for entrepreneurs and managers alike.

It is suitable for advanced students who wish to use relevant book chapters as a basis to pursue further research in these areas, as well as experienced practitioners looking to apply GP to new areas. The book also offers valuable supplementary material for design courses and computation in engineering.

An Introduction to Statistical Learning provides an accessible overview of the field of statistical learning, an essential toolset for making sense of the vast and complex data sets that have emerged in fields ranging from biology to finance to marketing to astrophysics in the past twenty years. This book presents some of the most important modeling and prediction techniques, along with relevant applications. Topics include linear regression, classification, resampling methods, shrinkage approaches, tree-based methods, support vector machines, clustering, and more. Color graphics and real-world examples are used to illustrate the methods presented. Since the goal of this textbook is to facilitate the use of these statistical learning techniques by practitioners in science, industry, and other fields, each chapter contains a tutorial on implementing the analyses and methods presented in R, an extremely popular open source statistical software platform. Two of the authors co-wrote The Elements of Statistical Learning (Hastie, Tibshirani and Friedman, 2nd edition 2009), a popular reference book for statistics and machine learning researchers. An Introduction to Statistical Learning covers many of the same topics, but at a level accessible to a much broader audience.

SEMAT (Software Engineering Methods and Theory) is an international initiative designed to identify a common ground, or universal standard, for software engineering. It is supported by some of the most distinguished contributors to the field. Creating a simple language to describe methods and practices, the SEMAT team expresses this common ground as a kernel–or framework–of elements essential to all software development. The Essence of Software Engineering introduces this kernel and shows how to apply it when developing software and improving a team’s way of working. It is a book for software professionals, not methodologists. Its usefulness to development team members, who need to evaluate and choose the best practices for their work, goes well beyond the description or application of any single method. “Software is both a craft and a science, both a work of passion and a work of principle. Writing good software requires both wild flights of imagination and creativity, as well as the hard reality of engineering tradeoffs. This book is an attempt at describing that balance.” —Robert Martin (unclebob) “The work of Ivar Jacobson and his colleagues, started as part of the SEMAT initiative, has taken a systematic approach to identifying a ‘kernel’ of software engineering principles and practices that have stood the test of time and recognition.” —Bertrand Meyer “The software development industry needs and demands a core kernel and language for defining software development practices—practices that can be mixed and matched, brought on board from other organizations; practices that can be measured; practices that can be integrated; and practices that can be compared and contrasted for speed, quality, and price. This thoughtful book gives a good grounding in ways to think about the problem, and a language to address the need, and every software engineer should read it.” —Richard Soley

Seit dem Entstehen der modernen Textlinguistik in den 1960er Jahren ist eine Vielzahl z.T. hoch spezialisierter Analyseansätze in diesem Bereich entwickelt worden, die auch in diversen Einführungen schon aufbereitet worden sind. Anliegen dieses Arbeitsheftes ist es, Grundlagen linguistischer Textanalyse vorzustellen, wie sie insbesondere Studierende philologischer Fächer bei der Analyse literarischer und anspruchsvoller Sachtexte benötigen. Textlinguistik wird dabei nicht als eine Sonderdisziplin der Sprachwissenschaft aufgefasst, die sich nur mit der ‚obersten‘ Beschreibungsebene befasst, sondern im Sinne der von Peter Hartmann konzipierten ‚verwendungsorientierten Sprachwissenschaft‘. Besonderer Wert wird darauf gelegt, die ‚neue‘ Textlinguistik auch in die Tradition früherer Bemühungen um den Gegenstand einzuordnen (Rhetorik, Hermeneutik, Literaturwissenschaft, vorstrukturalistische Grammatik). Das Schwergewicht der Darstellung liegt auf der mit vielen Beispielen angereicherten Erläuterung der vier zentralen Beschreibungsdimensionen: situativer Kontext, Funktion, Thema, sprachliche Gestalt. Hier werden nicht nur die den Textzusammenhalt gewährleistenden Kohäsionsmittel besprochen, sondern die Gesamtheit der sprachlichen Mittel, v.a. auf der Ebene von Lexik und Grammatik. Ziel ist es, die Verbindung zwischen Variationslinguistik und Textlinguistik zu verdeutlichen: Zu den Aufgaben der Letzteren gehört es, die Soll- und Ist-Normen von Varietäten und Textsorten zu beschreiben.

Microcontroller Exploits is a deep dive into advanced hardware hacking with detailed examples of real-world techniques and a comprehensive survey of vulnerabilities.

>> „Pokud hledáte radu, jak se osvobodit z okovů všudypřítomných e-mailů, sociálních sítí, chytrých telefonů a obrazovek, nechte se vést touto knihou.“ — Adam Alter, autor knihy Neodolatelné << ## O knize Digitální minimalisté jsou spokojení lidé, kteří nezažívají strach, že jim v online světě něco utíká. Nemají nutkavou potřebu neustále kontrolovat mobil, protože dobře vědí, které činnosti mají smysl a přinášejí jim skutečné uspokojení. Autor přelomové knihy Hluboká práce tentokrát bije na poplach před závislostním chováním v digitálním světě, které se plíživě proměnilo v normu. Cal Newport přesvědčivě ukazuje, že nutkavé používání sociálních sítí a dalších digitálních výdobytků nám neposkytuje žádný hlubší užitek, ale naopak nás připravuje o čas, soustředěnost a naplňující mezilidské vztahy. Řešením je digitální minimalismus: používání technologií, při kterém se soustředíme na malý počet pečlivě vybraných digitálních aktivit. ## V knize se mimo jiné dozvíte - Jak provést digitální úklid a jak si po něm nastavit pravidla pro používání technologií. - Pro koho je naše pozornost zdrojem zisku a jak funguje tzv. ekonomie pozornosti. - Kolik desítek hodin měsíčně můžete díky digitálnímu minimalismu získat oproti průměrnému uživateli Facebooku. - Proč je digitální minimalismus účinnější než utopická snaha o úplnou digitální abstinenci. - Jak si zařídit pravidelné dávky samoty a získat potřebnou koncentraci. ## O autorovi Cal Newport je docentem informatiky na Georgetownské univerzitě a autorem šesti knih, k nimž patří i bestsellery Hluboká práce a Tak dobří, že vás nepřehlédnou. Nenajdete ho na Twitteru, Facebooku ani Intagramu, ale často ho lze zastihnout doma ve Washingtonu, D. C., s rodinou nebo při psaní článků pro web calnewport.com. # Více o knize http://www.melvil.cz/digitalni-minimalismus Sdílejte s hashtagem #digitalniminimalismus

The main aim of this book is to introduce a group of models and modelling of information and knowledge comprehensibly. Such models and the processes for how to create them help to improve the skills to analyse and structure thoughts and ideas, to become more precise, to gain a deeper understanding of the matter being modelled, and to assist with specific tasks where modelling helps, such as reading comprehension and summarisation of text. The book draws ideas and transferrable approaches from the plethora of types of models and the methods, techniques, tools, procedures, and methodologies to create them in computer science. This book covers five principal declarative modelling approaches to model information and knowledge for different, yet related, purposes. It starts with entry-level mind mapping, to proceed to biological models and diagrams, onward to conceptual data models in software development, and from there to ontologies in artificial intelligence and all the way toontology in philosophy. Each successive chapter about a type of model solves limitations of the preceding one and turns up the analytical skills a notch. These what-and-how for each type of model is followed by an integrative chapter that ties them together, comparing their strengths and key characteristics, ethics in modelling, and how to design a modelling language. In so doing, we’ll address key questions such as: what type of models are there? How do you build one? What can you do with a model? Which type of model is best for what purpose? Why do all that modelling? The intended audience for this book is professionals, students, and academics in disciplines where systematic information modelling and knowledge representation is much less common than in computing, such as in commerce, biology, law, and humanities. And if a computer science student or a software developer needs a quick refresher on conceptual data models or a short solid overview of ontologies, then this bookwill serve them well.

Companies today are moving rapidly to integrate generative AI into their products and services. But there's a great deal of hype (and misunderstanding) about the impact and promise of this technology. With this book, Chris Fregly, Antje Barth, and Shelbee Eigenbrode from AWS help CTOs, ML practitioners, application developers, business analysts, data engineers, and data scientists find practical ways to use this exciting new technology. You'll learn the generative AI project life cycle including use case definition, model selection, model fine-tuning, retrieval-augmented generation, reinforcement learning from human feedback, and model quantization, optimization, and deployment. And you'll explore different types of models including large language models (LLMs) and multimodal models such as Stable Diffusion for generating images and Flamingo/IDEFICS for answering questions about images. Apply generative AI to your business use cases Determine which generative AI models are best suited to your task Perform prompt engineering and in-context learning Fine-tune generative AI models on your datasets with low-rank adaptation (LoRA) Align generative AI models to human values with reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) Augment your model with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) Explore libraries such as LangChain and ReAct to develop agents and actions Build generative AI applications with Amazon Bedrock

What makes this book different from others on database design? Many resources on design practice do little to explain the underlying theory, and books on design theory are aimed primarily at theoreticians. In this book, renowned expert Chris Date bridges the gap by introducing design theory in ways practitioners can understand—drawing on lessons learned over four decades of experience to demonstrate why proper database design is so critical in the first place. Every chapter includes a set of exercises that show how to apply the theoretical ideas in practice, provide additional information, or ask you to prove some simple theoretical result. If you’re a database professional familiar with the relational model, and have more than a passing interest in database design, this book is for you. Questions this book answers include: Why is Heath’s Theorem so important? What is The Principle of Orthogonal Design? What makes some JDs reducible and others irreducible? Why does dependency preservation matter? Should data redundancy always be avoided? Can it be? Databases often stay in production for decades, and careful design is critical for avoiding subtle errors and processing problems over time. If they’re badly designed, the negative impacts can be incredibly widespread. This gentle introduction shows you how to use important theoretical results to create good database designs.

The final installment in the Lost Histories saga: "When dragons make war, Krynn can only tremble in the shaodw of angry wings." Aurican and Darlantan, mighty serpents of gold and silver, have been nurtured in a world of wisdom, meditation, and sublime faith. However, on the other side of Ansalon, Crematia—a dragon of red—inherits the Dark Queen's legacy of betrayal, violence, conquest, and plunder. The advent of a worldwide war sweeps these powerful beings and many more into desperate strife. Battles rage over Krynn with a fury that threatens to annihilate nations and whole races—even dragonkind. As campaigns ebb and flow, generations of lesser mortals come and go, and the great serpents are left to determine the fate of the world. Their triumphs may create a destiny of all-encompassing light or cast the world beneath the shadow of ultimate darkness.

"Dwellers in the Mirage" Leif Langdon is an American explorer who discovers a warm valley in Alaska. Two races inhabit the valley, the Little People and a branch of an ancient Mongolian race; they worship the evil Kraken named Khalk'ru which they summon from another dimension to offer human sacrifice. The inhabitants recognize Langdon as the reincarnation of their long dead hero, Dwayanu. Dwayanu's spirit possesses Langdon and he starts a war with the Little People. "The Moon Pool" deals with an advanced race which has developed within the Earth's core. Eventually their most intelligent members create an offspring. This created entity encompasses both great good and great evil, but it slowly turns away from its creators and towards evil. The entity is called either the Dweller or the Shining One.

This revised edition provides a way of understanding the vast universe of genre fiction in an easy-to-use format. Expert readers' advisor Joyce Saricks offers groundbreaking reconsideration of the connections among genres.

Meu contrato diz que o acordo é por dois meses... Mas meu coração diz que é para sempre. Ser babá de um garotinho por alguns meses deveria ser fácil, o problema é que Willa não consegue tirar os olhos do pai dele e o pai dele não consegue tirar as mãos dela. Depois que o bar onde ela trabalha fecha para reformas, Willa Grant fica sem rumo na vida. Mas sua amiga Summer tem a solução ideal e a convida para passar o verão no rancho sendo babá de Luke, sobrinho do noivo dela. O pai de Luke, Cade, evita até olhar para Willa. E tudo bem, porque além de ser rude e mal-humorado, ele ainda é 13 anos mais velho que ela. O problema é que Cade tem os ombros largos, as mãos calejadas e uma boca suja que deixam Willa com as pernas bambas. Quando eles acabam juntos na banheira de hidromassagem para um jogo de verdade ou consequência, todas as suas convicções caem por terra. Assim como as roupas dos dois. À medida que se entregam à atração, Willa percebe que a rispidez dele é só fachada. Afinal, nunca se sentiu protegida assim com homem nenhum. E Cade começa a ver que, quando aceita o risco e abre o coração, coisas boas podem acontecer. Quem sabe até o amor.

Lépj a sárkánylovasok képzésére szolgáló katonai iskola falai közé, és ismerd meg ezt az elit és brutális világot a bestseller szerző Rebecca Yarros regényéből! A húszéves Violet Sorrengail egész eddigi életében azt hitte, a történelem tanulmányozása lesz a feladata az Írnok Kvadránsban az imádott könyvek között. Azonban az iskola vezénylő tábornoka - aki egyszemélyben a lány kőkemény anyja - megparancsolja, hogy Violetnek be kell lépnie a többszáz jelölt közé, akik Navarre elitjéhez, a sárkánylovasokhoz akarnak tartozni. Ha mindenkinél kisebb és törékenyebb vagy, akkor csak egy hajszál választ el a haláltól... mondjuk azért, mert a sárkányok nem választanak ki ,,törékeny"" embereket, hanem felperzselik őket. Ráadásul, amikor kevesebb a kapcsolódni hajlandó sárkány, mint kadét, nem meglepő, hogy a többség szívesen végezne Violettel, hogy ezzel is növelje a saját esélyeit a sikerre. A többiek pedig azért ölnék meg, mert az anyja lánya; köztük van Xaden Riorson is, a Lovasok Kvadránsának leghatalmasabb és legkönyörtelenebb szárnyvezére is. Violetnek minden ravaszságára szüksége lesz, hogy minden újabb napfelkelte életben találja. Közben az iskola falain túl dúló háború egyre gyilkosabb, a királyság védelmét szolgáló erődítmények sorban elesnek, és egyre többen halnak meg. A helyzeten tovább ront, hogy Violet gyanakodni kezd, hogy a vezetés rettenetes titkot rejteget. Barátok, ellenségek, szeretők. A Basgiath Hadi Iskolában mindenkinek határozott tervei vannak, mert ha valaki egyszer bekerül, onnan csak két kiút van: lediplomázni vagy meghalni. ,, A Fourth Wing első lapjától az utolsóig megdobogtatja majd a szíved...Ez egy olyan fantasy, amilyet még biztosan nem olvastál!"" - Jennifer L. Armentrout, #1 New York Times bestseller szerző ,,A legbrutálisabb, legaddiktívabb fantasy, amit az elmúlt évtizedben olvastam"" - Tracy Wolff, #1 New York Times bestseller szerző ,,Brutális, pörgős, letehetetlen és romantikus feszültségtől vibráló... mindent, és még annál is többet nyújt, amit egy könyvtől elvárok. Fenomenális!"" - Samantha Young, nemzetközi bestseller szerző ,,Sárkányok és háború, szenvedély és hatalom...egyszerűen lehengerlő!"" - Nalini Singh, nemzetközi bestseller szerző

“When we’re dating, you are mine. Even if it’s fake.” I thought my luck was about to change when my best friend found me an apartment to sublet in the heart of Nashville, TN. As an aspiring singer, this is where I need to be in order to finally get discovered. I’m ready to start my new life until I discover my new neighbor is none other than Stone Walker. Super Bowl winning, NFL receiver. Stone cold fox. My high school crush. And my brother’s ex-best friend—emphasis on the ex. I know I should probably tuck tail and run, but I don’t. If Stone can handle this new living arrangement then so can I. Besides, neighbors don’t have to talk to each other. Until my best friend comes up with a plan. I should fake date Stone. After all, I have the talent, the drive, and the music. All I need is the visibility. And Stone has that in spades. I thought he would reject the plan, but he’s surprisingly on board. Now he’s showing up at my gigs with flowers and kisses me until my head spins and my knees go weak. And when he scores a touchdown and dances just for me? I want this relationship to be real. But falling in love wasn’t part of the agreement. Stone walked way from our family once and I don’t think I’m strong enough for him to do it again.

Vaughn Harding es mi nuevo jefe. Tiene negocios familiares en Vancouver, pero también es el propietario de este rancho, en el que cada vez pasa más tiempo. Disfruto de nuestros combates verbales, pero hace tiempo me autoimpuse alejarme de este tipo de hombres. Estar cerca de Vaughn puede ser un suicidio en mi trayectoria profesional como entrenadora de caballos de carreras. Soy la nueva responsable del rancho y de un caballo con problemas que he prometido convertir en todo un ganador. Tengo muchos planes, y no voy a permitir que un hombre me distraiga. Por mucha electricidad que haya cuando nos miramos o por mucho que mi cuerpo entre en combustión cuando nos rozamos. Vaughn es un vívido recuerdo de cada tío que he tenido alrededor mientras crecía: guapo, rico y privilegiado. Pero hay cierta tristeza en él a la que me es imposible dar la espalda. Un lado sensible bajo ese cuerpo perfecto. Burlarme de él a ratos es una cosa, ¿pero entregarle mi corazón? Debería haberlo pensado antes... Mantener una relación profesional con mis empleados nunca ha sido un problema. Hasta que Billie Black se presenta en mi propiedad. Billie tiene talento, no sabe mantenerse callada, y es jodidamente tentadora. No podemos dejar de retarnos desde el momento en que nos conocemos. Y aquí es difícil mantener las distancias. Y todavía es más difícil evitar que esa fricción se convierta en fuego. Billie lo tiene todo, es una mujer inteligente con un cuerpo con el que fantaseo a todas horas, y posiblemente la única mujer que puede salvar mi negocio..., y a mí. Me vuelve loco en todos los sentidos de la palabra. Deseo sus labios, su confianza, su alma... Lo quiero todo. Pero ¿cuál será el precio que tenga que pagar por ello? Porque, de repente, no solo quiero que mis caballos ganen carreras, también quiero conquistar a esa chica.

Blurb Diamku bukan berarti aku tak mampu membalasmu, Mas. Tapi aku sedang menunggu waktu. Kapan darah haidku bekerja secara maksimal ditubuhmu! Tolong jangan ditiru, ya! Ini hanya sebagai peringatan kepada para suami, agar berhenti menyakiti hati istri. Pelajaran buat para mertua dan ipar-ipar, agar menghargai sesama perempuan. Sebab setan pasti akan mengambil eksistensi, pada hati yang tersakiti. Dan kepada para istri, jangan mudah tergoda dengan bujuk rayu setan. Ingat, semua perbuatan pasti ada konsekwensinya. Ada malaikat yang ditugaskan oleh Allah untuk mencatat semua perbuatan. Tak usah menunggu di akhirat kelak, masih hidup di duniapun kita akan memetik balasan-Nya. Ikuti ceritanya ya, semoga pembaca suka dengan cerita ini. Terima kasih banyak.

The scorching sequel to Beautiful Bastard! Escaping a cheating ex, finance whiz Sara Dillon’s moved to New York City and is looking for excitement and passion without a lot of strings attached. So meeting the irresistible, sexy Brit at a dance club should have meant nothing more than a night’s fun. But the manner—and speed—with which he melts her inhibitions turns him from a one-time hookup and into her Beautiful Stranger. The whole city knows that Max Stella loves women, not that he’s ever found one he particularly wants to keep around. Despite pulling in plenty with his Wall Street bad boy charm, it’s not until Sara—and the wild photos she lets him take of her—that he starts wondering if there’s someone for him outside of the bedroom. Hooking up in places where anybody could catch them, the only thing scarier for Sara than getting caught in public is having Max get too close in private.

NEW FOREWORD BY JANELLE MONÁE Selected by The Atlantic as one of THE GREAT AMERICAN NOVELS. From the New York Times bestselling author of Parable of the Sower and MacArthur “Genius” Grant, Nebula, and Hugo award winner The visionary time-travel classic whose Black female hero is pulled through time to face the horrors of American slavery and explores the impacts of racism, sexism, and white supremacy then and now. “I lost an arm on my last trip home. My left arm.” Dana’s torment begins when she suddenly vanishes on her 26th birthday from California, 1976, and is dragged through time to antebellum Maryland to rescue a boy named Rufus, heir to a slaveowner’s plantation. She soon realizes the purpose of her summons to the past: protect Rufus to ensure his assault of her Black ancestor so that she may one day be born. As she endures the traumas of slavery and the soul-crushing normalization of savagery, Dana fights to keep her autonomy and return to the present. Blazing the trail for neo-slavery narratives like Colson Whitehead’s The Underground Railroad and Ta-Nehisi Coates’s The Water Dancer, Butler takes one of speculative fiction’s oldest tropes and infuses it with lasting depth and power. Dana not only experiences the cruelties of slavery on her skin but also grimly learns to accept it as a condition of her own existence in the present. “Where stories about American slavery are often gratuitous, reducing its horror to explicit violence and brutality, Kindred is controlled and precise” (New York Times). “Reading Octavia Butler taught me to dream big, and I think it’s absolutely necessary that everybody have that freedom and that willingness to dream.” —N. K. Jemisin

Hace cien años, hubo dos infantas que despertaban la curiosidad del público y la prensa, tal y como hoy lo hacen la princesa Leonor y su hermana Sofía. Se trataba de Beatriz y María Cristina de Borbón y Battenberg, las hijas de Alfonso XIII y Victoria Eugenia. Baby y Crista, como las llamaban, nacieron rodeadas de los privilegios y ritos de una monarquía decadente, pero con el estigma de la hemofilia, una terrible enfermedad heredada de su madre y de su bisabuela inglesa, la reina Victoria. Su infancia y juventud quedaron marcadas por tiempos turbulentos y episodios que moldearon la historia reciente de España. También sufrieron grandes tragedias familiares: la muerte inesperada de dos de sus hermanos, la separación de sus padres, las peleas dinásticas... Sin embargo, siempre aseguraron que su huida de España, la mañana del 15 de abril de 1931, y el largo y forzado exilio fueron sus mayores desgracias. Con apenas veinte años, sin reino y con un futuro incierto, comenzaron una nueva vida en Italia. Las dos se casaron con nobles —el príncipe Alessandro Torlonia y el conde Enrico Marone-Cinzano—, se codearon con algunos de los protagonistas del siglo xx, formaron sus propias familias y, en sus últimos años, llegaron a ver la proclamación de su sobrino, Juan Carlos de Borbón, como rey de España. Esta es su vida de novela.

Sebuah karya sastra merupakan kisahan yang senantiasa bergumul dengan para tokoh fiksional yang diciptakan oleh si pengarang. Agar ceritera lebih menarik, si pengarang kerap kali menampilkan perilaku para tokoh dengan kepribadian yang tidak lazim, aneh, atau abnormal, sehingga menimbulkan berbagai perasaan bagi para pembaca. Tidak jarang para pembaca bertanya-tanya, mengapa si tokoh berperilaku demikian, apa yang terjadi pada dirinya, apa penyebabnya, dan apa pula akibat dari semua ini. Bahwasanya masalah perilaku mungkin saja terkait dengan masalah kejiwaan, maka kisahan semacam ini dapat merupakan masalah psikologis. Oleh karena itu, dalam buku yang merupakan hasil penelitian tentang karya-karya sastra Inggris dan Amerika yang bermutu ini, penulis menampilkan beberapa kasus para tokoh fiksional yang mencerminkan konsep-konsep yang terdapat dalam Psikologi Sastra. Para tokoh dimaksud terdapat dalam karya-karya sastra Inggris dan Amerika ciptaan Nathaniel Hawthorne, Eugene O'Neil, Theodore Dreiser, dan D.H. Lawrence. dalam buku ini dibahas pula para tokoh yang mencerminkan beberapa konsep yang terdapat dalam Psikologi Sastra, misalnya konsep-konsep: Oedipus Complex, Electra Complex, Naluri Kematian, rasa Bersalah, Agresivitas, Halusinasi, Konflik Batin, rasa Malu, dan sebagainya. Selain itu, dibahas pula pencerminan Teori Kebutuhan Bertingkat dari Abraham Maslow yang mencakup kebutuhan fisiologis, rasa aman, rasa memiliki dan dicintai, rasa harga diri, dan aktualisasi diri. Selama ini telaah karya sastra melalui pendekatan Psikologi Sastra sering diperdebatkan karena kerap kali hakikat sastra menjadi hilang, telaah sastra seakan-akan menjadi telaah Psikologi. Oleh karena itu, agar telaah sastra psikologis tidak meninggalkan hakikat analisis suatu karya sastra, maka pencerminan berbagai konsep psikologi di atas perlu disampaikan melalui metode perwatakan yang biasa digunakan dalam telaah sastra. Metode-metode tersebut misalnya, telling (langsung), showing(tidak langsung), gaya bahasa bahasa (figurative language): simile, matafor, personifikasi, , dan sudut pandang (point of view). Pembahasan dalam buku ini dapat dijadikan bahan acuan bagi para peneliti, karena paparannya cukup jelas dan terperinci, sehingga buku ini akan bermanfaat bagi para peneliti yang berminat menganalisis suatu karya sastra dalam bahasa apapun.

Astrid Parker nunca falha é o segundo volume da série Bright Falls, que começou com Delilah Green não está nem aí. "Ashley retrata seus personagens com profundidade, amor e empatia sem fim." – Lana Harper, autora de Payback's a Witch “A autora cria personagens tão reais que eles quase pulam das páginas direto para o seu coração.” – The Nerd Daily Para Astrid Parker, falhar não é uma opção. Por isso, desde que rompeu com o noivo, ela está focada na carreira. E, ao ser convidada para realizar a modernização da tradicional Pousada Everwood em um reality show de reformas, ela tem uma chance de ouro para brilhar. O projeto não só promete ser a solução para os problemas financeiros de sua empresa como pode fazer com que ela finalmente conquiste a aprovação da mãe, que nunca parece satisfeita com nada. Até que surge uma pedra em seu sapato. Jordan Everwood, neta da dona da pousada, detesta todas as ideias de Astrid e está decidida a preservar a essência da hospedaria da família. Logo seus pequenos atos de sabotagem começam a rachar a fachada de perfeição de Astrid, revelando uma vulnerabilidade que ela nunca se permite demonstrar – e isso faz com que a antipatia entre as duas se transforme em algo muito parecido com desejo. Agora Astrid precisa decidir se quer continuar se esforçando para corresponder às expectativas alheias ou se mergulha de cabeça em um futuro incerto, assustador e muito, muito emocionante.

The fan favorite Nakamura brothers have finally been collected into one crazy hot AMBW boxset! This limited time only set includes HIS ENDURING LOVE, HIS REVENGE BABY, and a sneak peak at Hayato Nakamura's long-awaited novel, 12 MONTHS OF KRISTAL. HIS ENDURING LOVE I’ve been hiding nearly all my adult life to protect myself and my autistic daughter from the mob boss who wants me dead. For those reasons, I’ve sworn off relationships and vowed never to fall in love again. Suro Nakamura gives exactly zero f-words about my vows. I’ve become the dangerous hitman’s sole obsession, and he’ll stop at nothing to make me his. Is there any way for me to escape him…or resist him? HIS REVENGE BABY When travel nurse Lilliana Tucker is coerced by a mysterious stranger into “interviewing” to become Norio Nakamura’s next mistress, she’s pretty sure there’s no way she’ll get the job. Lilli is awkward, unrefined, and not at all cut out to be a spy–or the lover of a smoking hot Japanese billionaire. But then—WTH!—she does get the job. And soon her arrangement with Norio goes from a role she must play, to a passionate, barely contained affair. Lilli knows there’s no way her clandestine relationship with Norio will end in unicorns and rainbows. But there are two things she doesn’t see coming: 1. Falling for the man she’s been hired to betray …and 2. What he does when he discovers her true identity PLUS, a very special preview for 12 MONTHS OF KRISTAL On the eleventh day of Christmas, a Japanese billionaire's date is completely disrupted by a curvy woman, claiming to be an elf. What could possibly go wrong when he challenges her to replace the date she lost him? Or very, very sexy? This tale is perfect for fans of omakase sushi experiences, PEOPLE magazine, and watching magical love stories unfold.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Evvie Drake Starts Over and Flying Solo, a podcast producer agrees to host a new series about modern dating—but will the show jeopardize her chance at finding real love? “Romantic, smart, and exactly the book we all need right now. I adored this.”—Annabel Monaghan, author of Nora Goes Off Script “You’ll sink into this story and never want it to end.”—Elissa Sussman, author of Funny You Should Ask Cecily Foster loves to make podcasts. She fiercely protects her colleagues, dearly adores her friends, and never misses dinner with her sister. But after a disastrous relationship with a colleague who stole her heart and her ideas, she’s put romantic love on hold. When the boss who’s disappointed her again and again finally offers her the chance to host her own show, she wants to be thrilled. But there’s a catch—actually, two catches. First, the show will be about Cecily’s dating life. And second, she has to follow the guidance of influencer and newly minted relationship coach Eliza Cassidy, whose relentlessly upbeat attitude seems ready-made for social media, not real life. Cecily would rather do anything other than put her singledom on display (ugh) or take advice from the internet (UGH). But when her boss hints that doing the show is the only way to protect a friend’s job, she realizes she has no choice. To make matters more complicated, once she’s committed to twenty blind dates of Eliza’s choosing, Cecily finds herself unable to stop thinking about Will, a photographer she helped to rescue a very big and very lovable lost dog. Even though there are sparks between the two, Will’s own path is uncertain, and Eliza’s skeptical comments about Cecily’s decision-making aren’t helping. On the one hand, Will seems great. But on the other hand . . . don’t they all? As Cecily struggles to balance the life she truly desires and the one Eliza wants to create for her, she finds herself at a crossroads. Can Cecily sort through all the advice and find a way to do what she loves without losing herself in the process?

Today its message has grown more relevant than ever before. Guy Montag is a fireman. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television “family.” But when he meets an eccentric young neighbor, Clarisse, who introduces him to a past where people didn’t live in fear and to a present where one sees the world through the ideas in books instead of the mindless chatter of television, Montag begins to question everything he has ever known.

Novamente em casa, com o marido, ela tenta sem sucesso recuperar a memória de sua antiga vida. Por mais que todos à sua volta pareçam atenciosos e amáveis, Jennifer sente que alguma coisa está faltando. É então que ela descobre uma série de cartas de amor escondidas, endereçadas a ela e assinadas apenas por “B”, e percebe que não só estava vivendo um romance fora do casamento como também parecia disposta a arriscar tudo para ficar com seu amante. Quatro décadas depois, a jornalista Ellie Haworth encontra uma dessas cartas endereçadas a Jennifer durante uma pesquisa nos arquivos do jornal em que trabalha. Obcecada pela ideia de reunir os protagonistas desse amor proibido — em parte por estar ela mesma envolvida com um homem casado —, Ellie começa a procurar por “B”, e nem desconfia que, ao fazer isso, talvez encontre uma solução para os problemas de seu próprio relacionamento. Com personagens realísticos complexos e uma trama bem-elaborada, A última carta de amor entrelaça as histórias de paixão, adultério e perda de Ellie e Jennifer. Um livro comovente e irremediavelmente romântico. Best seller VEJA

A must read!” Once Upon A Time Book Blog, 5 stars Madison walked through the fallen snow, looking left and right. It had been Kaylee’s idea to use the trail through the forest; she said no one would follow them. But Madison lost sight of Kaylee for a moment and when she found her again she wasn’t alone… In the remote forests of Stillwater, Minnesota, you can scream for days and no one will hear you. So when the bodies of two fifteen-year-old girls are discovered frozen in the snow, Special Agent Nikki Hunt is sure the killer is local: someone knew where to hide the girls and thought they would never be found. Though Nikki hasn’t been home in twenty years, she knows she must take over the case. The Sheriff’s department in Stillwater has already made a mistake by connecting the girls’ murders to those of a famous serial killer, refusing to consider the idea that the killer could be someone from town. Then another girl’s body is found, a red silk ribbon tied in her hair, and Nikki realizes that the killer has a connection to her own dark past, and the reason she left Stillwater.

"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" is one of F. Scott Fitzgerald's most memorable short stories. The protagonist, Benjamin Button, is born an old man and ages in reverse until he becomes a baby and then finally vanishes from the earth. In a short introduction to the story, Fitzgerald wrote: "This story was inspired by a remark of Mark Twain's to the effect that it was a pity that the best part of life came at the beginning and the worst part at the end. By trying the experiment upon only one man in a perfectly normal world I have scarcely given his idea a fair trial. Several weeks after completing it, I discovered an almost identical plot in Samuel Butler's 'Note-books.' "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" was the inspiration for the major motion picture of the same name and remains one of Fitzgerald's most haunting and beautiful tales. This collection also includes three other Jazz Age tales by Fitzgerald.

Webnovel & Chereads provide official version of The Demon's Bride with latest chapter *Slow Burn Historical Fantasy Novel* Elise had about to change into the dress that was lying on the corner of her bed when she heard a knock lightly calling from her door. Curious, she turned the door knob only to have a tall man towering in front of her. “Master Ian!” She called. Ian smiled with the usual mischievous smirk that he always used. His crimson eyes trailing a little over her room and spotted the black dress over her bed and shifted his eyes over to the woman in front of him. He stepped forward and spoke. “Where did you acquire that dress?” “Mr. Harland gave it to me.” Elise replied and strained her neck to see Ian’s brows knitted in its elegance. “Do you know why a man would love to give a woman a dress?” He gave the riddle that she always had to think twice before replying. But this time, she found no answer and instead shook her head. “I don’t know.” His grin grew bewitching as though something had stirred deep inside the scarlet eyes that he had. He slowly slid his hand over the collar of her dress, sending a cold shiver that startled her for a moment due to its freezing temperature. After unbuttoning the first two buttons on her collar, he tilted his head down, whispering to her ears. “Because they want to be the one to undress the cloth.” He paused and kissed her neck, turning the pale skin to red before retracting his move to fix his eyes on her and leisurely replied. “Unfortunately, you can’t wear the dress over there with this.” He chuckled and passed a box over to her hand. “And the fortunate news is I prepared a dress for you.” Elise was a cursed little girl who could see ghosts. Her family hated her and threw her from one adoptive family to another. However, misfortune didn't act alone. When she was brought up by her aunt, she was sold as a slave. When she had thought she would become nothing but a sacrifice to the sorcerer, she was saved by a man whose identity was far different than a normal mythical being. *** This book is ORIGINAL and it is not Translation Join Author's discord: https://discord.gg/YPKueb4

यह उपन्यास सबसे पहले 1949 में लखनऊ में लिखा गया। तब इसका स्वरूप एवं प्रारूप बिल्कुल भिन्न थे। यदि उसी रूप में छपता तो मेरा विश्वास है कि यह कहीं अधिक सशक्त एवं व्यवस्थित होता। लेकिन दुर्भाग्य न केवल व्यक्तियों का ही होता है बल्कि कुछ कृतियों का भी होता है। सन ’49 से लेकर ’53 तक लोगों के परामर्श के फलस्वरूप अनेक परिवर्तन इसमें किये गये, फलतः रंजना, एक असंभाव्य चरित्र बन गयी। सच माने रंजना की यह असंभाव्यता मेरे कारण नहीं हुई। कैसे और क्यों हुई, यह स्वयं मनोरंजन है पर उसकी चर्चा वांछनीय न होगी। अस्तु

“A heartbreakingly resonant debut, The Turtle House is a tender, big-hearted story about women, family, and the complicated history of Texas. These characters, and their tentative, flawed stumblings toward grace, will stay with me.”—Elizabeth Wetmore, author of Valentine “Sweeping yet intimate, Amanda Churchill’s Turtle House spans cultures and continents. Minnie and her granddaughter Lia are unforgettable protagonists, whose grit and grace will inspire you. Together, they find a way through in this gripping debut.”—Vanessa Hua, author of Forbidden City Moving between late 1990s small-town Texas to pre-World War II Japan and occupied Tokyo, an emotionally engaging literary debut about a grandmother and granddaughter who connect over a beloved lost place and the secrets they both carry. It’s spring 1999, and 25-year-old Lia Cope and her prickly 73-year-old grandmother, Mineko, are sharing a bedroom in Curtain, Texas, the ranching town where Lia grew up and Mineko began her life as a Japanese war bride. Both women are at a turning point: Mineko, long widowed, moved in with her son and daughter-in-law after a suspicious fire destroyed the Cope family ranch house, while Lia, an architect with a promising career in Austin, has unexpectedly returned under circumstances she refuses to explain. Though Lia never felt especially close to her grandmother, the two grow close sharing late-night conversations. Mineko tells stories of her early life in Japan, of the war that changed everything, and of her two great loves: a man named Akio Sato and an abandoned Japanese country estate they called the Turtle House, where their relationship took root. As Mineko reveals more of her early life—tales of innocent swimming lessons that blossom into something more, a friendship nurtured across oceans, totems saved and hidden, the heartbreak of love lost too soon—Lia comes to understand the depth of her grandmother’s pain and sacrifice and sees her Texas family in a new light. She also recognizes that it’s she who needs to come clean—about the budding career she abandoned and the mysterious man who keeps calling. When Mineko’s adult children decide, against her wishes, to move her into an assisted living community, she and Lia devise a plan to bring a beloved lost place to life, one that they hope will offer the safety and sense of belonging they both need, no matter the cost. A story of intergenerational friendship, family, coming of age, identity, and love, The Turtle House illuminates the hidden lives we lead, the secrets we hold close, and what it truly means to find home again when it feels lost forever.

From the bestselling author of the wildly inventive Strange Pictures and a phenomenon in Japan—unnatural layouts, trap doors, windowless rooms— a sinister conspiracy is concealed within a house’s warped and unsettling floor plans When a writer fascinated by the macabre is approached by an acquaintance, he finds himself investigating an eerie house for sale in Tokyo. At first, with its bright and spacious interior, it seems the perfect first home. But upon closer inspection, the building’s floor plans reveal a mysterious "dead space” hidden between its walls. Seeking a second opinion, the writer shares the floor plans with his friend Kurihara, an architect, only to discover more unnerving details throughout. What is the true purpose behind the house’s disturbing design? And what happened to the former owners who disappeared without a trace? When a body suddenly appears and a young woman reaches out about a second house, it soon becomes clear that the writer and his friend may be in over their heads. Structured around a series of chilling floorplans, with Strange Houses, mystery-horror YouTube sensation Uketsu casts readers in the role of detective, inviting them to help map out the truth hidden within these puzzling floor plans . . . and the terrifying plot behind it all.

1966இல் முதல் பதிப்பு வெளிவந்த காலத்திலிருந்து தீவிர வாசகர்களின் கவனத்தில் இருந்துவரும் ‘ஒரு புளிய மரத்தின் கதை’ ஒரு நவீன செவ்வியல் புனைவாக நிலைபெற்றுவிட்டது. மலையாளத்திலும் இந்தியிலும் மொழிபெயர்க்கப்பட்டுள்ள இந் நாவலின் ஆங்கில மொழிபெயர்ப்பை பெங்குயின் வெளியிட்டது. 2000த்தில் தமிழிலிருந்து நேரடியாக ஹீப்ருவில் மொழிபெயர்க்கப்பட்ட ‘ஒரு புளியமரத்தின் கதை’ குறுகிய காலத்தில் இரண்டு பதிப்புகள் கண்டதுடன் அம்மொழிக்குச் சென்றுள்ள முதல் இந்திய மொழி நூல் என்ற பெருமையையும் பெறுகிறது. ஒப்பீட்டிலக்கிய விமர்சகர் கே. எம். ஜார்ஜ் இந்நாவலை நோபல் பரிசுபெறத் தகுதியான தமிழ் நாவலாகக் குறிப்பிடுகிறார். With a narrative breadth never before seen in Tamil fiction, Sundara Ramaswamy's Tamarind History inaugurated a new era in Tamil letters. Its meditations on the loss of beloved places; the shared experience of the past; and the meaning of togetherness amid struggle, ambition and enmity, all flow from the life of an aged tamarind tree that stands at the centre of a bustling town. This town's wild places - their mythic pasts still treasured by an old wanderer and the youth who listen to his tales-are stripped away as politicians commit to modernization in the name of progress. Yet the town remains filled with life and beauty, even as it is irrevocably damaged. Tamarind History first published in 1966 has sold more than a 125,000 copies in Tamil in this millennium and is probably the highest selling literary fiction even today. Critic K.M.George cited this novel while listing Indian language writers deserving the Nobel Prize.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Ältere Deutsche Literatur, Mediävistik, Universität Münster, Veranstaltung: Seminar im Auswahlmodul: Das Nibelungenlied, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Inhaltsverzeichnis I. Einleitung S. 1 II. Das Nibelungenlied im Kaiserreich II.1 Nibelungentreue vor und während des I. Weltkrieges S. 2 II.2 „Nibelungentreue“ von Wilhelm Scherer (1916) S. 5 III. Dolchstoßlegende S. 6 IV. Das Nibelungenlied im Nationalsozialismus IV.1 Die Rolle Hagens im Nationalsozialismus S. 7 IV.2 Vereinnahmung „nibelungischer“ Tugenden S. 9 im Nationalsozialismus V. Schluss S. 12 VI. Literaturverzeichnis S. 13 I. Einleitung Das um 1200 von einem unbekannten Dichter zu Pergament gebrachte Nibelungenlied gilt seit seiner Wiederauffindung im Jahre 1755 als das am meisten rezipierte Werk im deutschsprachigen Raum und erfreute sich gerade 50 Jahre nach seiner Wiederentdeckung bis zum Ende des II. Weltkrieges großer Beliebtheit und Bekanntheit. Es wurde vielfach ideologisch vereinnahmt und dabei in für die jeweiligen politischen Interessen erforderliche Weise umgedeutet. Ziel dieser Hausarbeit ist es die Rezeption des Nibelungenliedes in der wechselvollen Zeit der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts zu mit Blick auf die ideologische Vereinnahmung zu beleuchten. Es soll gezeigt werden wie die einzelnen Szenen und Charaktere des Nibelungenliedes umgedeutet und für politische Interessen verwendet wurden. Dabei werden zwei für die Zeit wichtige Rezeptionen des Nibelungenstoffes ausgeklammert: Richard Wagners „Ring der Nibelungen“, sowie Fritz Langs Stummfilm „Die Nibelungen“. Die beiden Werke sind zwar maßgeblich für die Verbreitung des Stoffes der Nibelungensage in ihrer jeweiligen künstlerischen Gestaltung verantwortlich , doch sind sie meines Erachtens nicht mit dem Ziel der Instrumentalisierung des Nibelungenstoffes oder einzelner Charaktere des Nibelungenliedes entstanden und wurden nicht in der Weise ideologisch vereinnahmt oder zu Propagandazwecken herangezogen, dass eine längere Beschäftigung mit den Werken im Rahmen dieser Hausarbeit gerechtfertigt wäre. Ich werde mich mit der im I. Weltkrieg beschworenen „Nibelungentreue“, der „Dolchstoßlegende“ und der Indienstnahme des Nibelungenstoffes durch die Nationalsozialisten befassen.

Learn the Secret to Success! After nearly 20 years of teaching Lewis Morris discovered a startling fact: Most students didn’t struggle with the subject, they struggled with the language. It was never about brains or ability. His students simply didn’t have the knowledge of the specific language needed to succeed. Through experimentation and research, he discovered that for any subject there was a list of essential words, that, when mastered, unlocked a student’s ability to progress in the subject. Lewis called this set of vocabulary the “Insider’s Words”. When he applied these “Insider’s Words” the results were incredible. His students began to learn with ease. He was on his way to developing the landmark series of workbooks and applications to teach this “Insider’s Language” to students around the world.

Fables reflect traditional culture, virtue and value. I found most of the teaching are the same as my hometown old folk’s story I heard from grandma and neighbors. This course is good for intermediate level students to explore Chinese culture, enrich your knowledge about China and Chinese, and expand your vocabulary through my elaboration using my unique Vocabulary Builder and Sentence Builder. 中华文化在海外广为流传，是各地华侨社会世代相传、延续发展的关键因素；亦为华侨生生不息，认同中华民族、热爱中华的主因。而各地华侨均能秉承文化道统，敬老尊贤，讲信修睦，尊重伦理，重视传统，相率和谐共处，存异求同，尤为中华文化经年累月教化熏陶。 The transmission of Chinese culture from generation to generation is a key factor in the continuation and development worldwide of overseas Chinese communities. It is also an important reason why overseas Chinese communities grow, identify themselves with the Chinese nation, and love the China passionately. The face that all overseas Chinese are willing to carry forward cultural orthoxy, revere the aged and honor the wise, cement peaceful relations by upholding good faith, venerate ethics, value tradition, coexist in harmony, and preserve differences while striving for similarities, is attributable above all to the civilizing educational impact of Chinese culture. “文化是人类历史和文明发展的重心、原动力；文化如同活水，是不断成长、永保青春的必需品。建设及宏扬文化，根本之道在维持传统之美，又能注入现代化的新精神。” “Culture is the driving force behind human history and civilization; it is like running water-a source of nourishment and growth that never stagnates. To propagate and advance culture, it is necessary to carry on tradition in all its original beauty and at the same time to instill it with a modern spirit.

Seit dem Entstehen der modernen Textlinguistik in den 1960er Jahren ist eine Vielzahl z.T. hoch spezialisierter Analyseansätze in diesem Bereich entwickelt worden, die auch in diversen Einführungen schon aufbereitet worden sind. Anliegen dieses Arbeitsheftes ist es, Grundlagen linguistischer Textanalyse vorzustellen, wie sie insbesondere Studierende philologischer Fächer bei der Analyse literarischer und anspruchsvoller Sachtexte benötigen. Textlinguistik wird dabei nicht als eine Sonderdisziplin der Sprachwissenschaft aufgefasst, die sich nur mit der ‚obersten‘ Beschreibungsebene befasst, sondern im Sinne der von Peter Hartmann konzipierten ‚verwendungsorientierten Sprachwissenschaft‘. Besonderer Wert wird darauf gelegt, die ‚neue‘ Textlinguistik auch in die Tradition früherer Bemühungen um den Gegenstand einzuordnen (Rhetorik, Hermeneutik, Literaturwissenschaft, vorstrukturalistische Grammatik). Das Schwergewicht der Darstellung liegt auf der mit vielen Beispielen angereicherten Erläuterung der vier zentralen Beschreibungsdimensionen: situativer Kontext, Funktion, Thema, sprachliche Gestalt. Hier werden nicht nur die den Textzusammenhalt gewährleistenden Kohäsionsmittel besprochen, sondern die Gesamtheit der sprachlichen Mittel, v.a. auf der Ebene von Lexik und Grammatik. Ziel ist es, die Verbindung zwischen Variationslinguistik und Textlinguistik zu verdeutlichen: Zu den Aufgaben der Letzteren gehört es, die Soll- und Ist-Normen von Varietäten und Textsorten zu beschreiben.

श्री सुबोध श्रीवास्तव द्वारा रचित 'पीढ़ी का दर्द' काव्य संग्रह पढ़ा। संग्रह की रचनाओं ने मुझे भीतर तक. इतनी गहराई से स्पर्श किया कि जब तक मैंने इसकी आखिरी कविता नहीं पढ़ ली, तब तक मैं इसे अपने से अलग नहीं कर सका। किसी की रचनाओं में किसी सहृदय पाठक का मन इतना डूब जाए कि वो उसे पढ़ने के लिए विवश हो जाए, इसे मैं किसी भी रचनाकार की बहुत बड़ी सफलता मानता हूं। सुबोध की यह उपलब्धि रेखांकित करने योग्य है। कुछ कर सकने की ललक और फिर कुछ न कर पाने की मजबूरी, इन दो सूत्रों के बीच इस संग्रह की रचनाएं घूमती हैं। इसलिए इनमें कहीं आक्रोश, कहीं विवशता, कहीं पीड़ा, कहीं कुंठा, कहीं संत्रास, कहीं आशा, कहीं हताशा, मन की अनेक वृत्तियां शब्दायित हुई हैं। यद्यपि सुबोध का यह प्रथम काव्य संग्रह है। लेकिन उनके 'सोच' और शिल्प के नयेपन को देखकर लगता है कि जैसे यह किसी सिद्धहस्त लेखनी की अभिव्यक्ति हो। मैं इस संग्रह के प्रकाशन पर सुबोध को इस कारण भी बधाई देता हूं कि आज के अनेक नए रचनाकारों के बीच उन्होंने अपने लिए बिलकुल नया रास्ता चुना है। मुझे विश्वास है कि इस संग्रह को हिन्दी साहित्य जगत में एक गौरवपूर्ण स्थान प्राप्त होगा। - पद्मश्री गोपाल दास 'नीरज'

भारत का इतिहास ( HISTORY OF INDIA ) कई हजार वर्ष पुराना माना जाता है। 65,000 साल पहले, पहले आधुनिक मनुष्य, या होमो सेपियन्स, अफ्रीका से भारतीय उपमहाद्वीप में पहुंचे थे, जहां वे पहले विकसित हुए थे। सबसे पुराना ज्ञात आधुनिक मानव आज से लगभग 30,000 साल पहले दक्षिण एशिया में रहता है। 6500 ईसा पूर्व के बाद, खाद्य फसलों और जानवरों के वर्चस्व के लिए सबूत, स्थायी संरचनाओं का निर्माण और कृषि अधिशेष का भंडारण मेहरगढ़ और अब बलूचिस्तान के अन्य स्थलों में दिखाई दिया। ये धीरे-धीरे सिंधु घाटी सभ्यता में विकसित हुए, दक्षिण एशिया में पहली शहरी संस्कृति, जो अब पाकिस्तान और पश्चिमी भारत में 2500-1900 ई.पू. के दौरान पनपी। मेहरगढ़ पुरातात्विक दृष्टि से महत्वपूर्ण स्थान है जहां नवपाषाण युग (7000 ईसा-पूर्व से 2500 ईसा-पूर्व) के बहुत से अवशेष मिले हैं। सिन्धु घाटी सभ्यता, जिसका आरम्भ काल लगभग 3300 ईसापूर्व से माना जाता है, प्राचीन मिस्र और सुमेर सभ्यता के साथ विश्व की प्राचीनतम सभ्यता में से एक हैं। इस सभ्यता की लिपि अब तक सफलता पूर्वक पढ़ी नहीं जा सकी है। सिन्धु घाटी सभ्यता वर्तमान पाकिस्तान और उससे सटे भारतीय प्रदेशों में फैली थी। पुरातत्त्व प्रमाणों के आधार पर 1900 ईसापूर्व के आसपास इस सभ्यता का अकस्मात पतन हो गया। 19वी शताब्दी के पाश्चात्य विद्वानों के प्रचलित दृष्टिकोणों के अनुसार आर्यों का एक वर्ग भारतीय उप महाद्वीप की सीमाओं पर 2000 ईसा पूर्व के आसपास पहुंचा और पहले पंजाब में बस गया और यहीं ऋग्वेद की ऋचाओं की रचना की गई। आर्यों द्वारा उत्तर तथा मध्य भारत में एक विकसित सभ्यता का निर्माण किया गया, जिसे वैदिक सभ्यता भी कहते हैं। प्राचीन भारत के इतिहास में वैदिक सभ्यता सबसे प्रारंभिक सभ्यता है जिसका सम्बन्ध आर्यों के आगमन से है। इसका नामकरण आर्यों के प्रारम्भिक साहित्य वेदों के नाम पर किया गया है। आर्यों की भाषा संस्कृत थी और धर्म "वैदिक धर्म" या "सनातन धर्म" के नाम से प्रसिद्ध था, बाद में विदेशी आक्रांताओं द्वारा इस धर्म का नाम हिन्दू पड़ा।

يسود الآن شعور من القلق حول ما آلت إليه عملية الترجمة على أيدي منظريها من ناحية. وأيدي اللغويين من الناحية الأخرى. فلم يستفد منظرو الترجمة من الوسائل والبصائر التي تقدمها اللغويات المعاصرة إلا قليلا. في حين كان اللغويون محايدين في أفضل مواقفهم من نظرية الترجمة. ويهدف هذا الكتاب إلى جعل النص المترجم محاولة موضوعية وصفية تكشف أسرار عملية الترجمة. ودون هذه النقلة ستبقى نظرية الترجمة خارج نطاق تيار النشاط الفكري الأساسي للعلوم الإنسانية، وستفشل في تبوء موقعها اللائق بها: بوصفها حقلا هاما في حقل اللغويات النظرية. إن هم هذه الدراسة هو بناء نموذج متكامل لعملية الترجمة، يربط هذا النموذج عملية فك رموز النص بخلق تمثيل دلا لي عالمي لا يرتبط بأية لغة بعينها، ومن ثم إعادة ترميزه بوصفه نص لغة المصدر من خلال عملية متعددة المراحل تشمل علم التراكيب، وعلم الد لالة والمعاني، والجوانب البراغماتية في كلتا اللغتين. وقد وضع هذا النموذج برمته ضمن نموذج أعم وأشمل لمعالجة المعلومات الانسانية ونظرية متكاملة منتظمة تتعامل مع شكل اللغة واستخدامها. وبما أن هذا الكتاب لا يتطلب معرفة معمقة مسبقة بهذه الحقول فسيبرهن أنه لا غنى عنه للمترجمين المحترفين، وطلبة الترجمة واللغة واللغويات. ومكتبة العبيكان إذ تسهم في تقدم الأمة ثقافيا وحضاريا يسعدها أن تنشر هذا الكتاب راجية النفع للجميع. العبيكان ٢٠٠٣

A curated Persian word frequency list Are you looking for unconventional ways to speed up the process of learning Persian? Then this book is exactly what you are looking for. Following the Pareto principle (80/20 rule), this book is built to streamline the learning process by concentrating on the core words and sentence structures that make up everyday conversations. The result is a unique vocabulary book with 2000 of the most important Persian words and phrases ordered by their frequency of use. Who this Persian learning book is for: This book is for beginners and intermediate learners of Persian who are self-motivated and willing to spend 15 to 20 minutes a day on learning vocabularies. The simple structure of this vocabulary book is the result of taking all unnecessary things out allowing the learning effort to solely be spent on the parts that help you make the biggest progress in the shortest amount of time. If you are willing to put in 20 minutes of learning every day, this book is very likely the single best investment you can make if you are at a beginner or intermediate level. You will be amazed at the speed of progress within a matter of just weeks of daily practice. Who this Persian frequency list is not for: This book is not for you if you are an advanced learner of Persian. In this case, please go to our website or search for our Persian vocabulary book which comes with more vocabularies and is grouped by topic which is ideal for advanced learners who want to improve their language capabilities in certain fields. Furthermore, if you are looking for an all in one Persian learning book that guides you through the various steps of learning Persian, this book is most likely also not what you are looking for. This book contains vocabularies only and we expect buyers to learn things like grammar and pronunciation either from other sources or through language courses. The strength of this book is its focus on quick acquisition of core vocabularies which comes at the expense of information many people might expect in a conventional language learning book. Please be aware of this when making the purchase. How to use this Persian workbook: This book is ideally used on a daily basis, reviewing a set number of pages in each session. The book is split into sections of 50 vocabularies which allows you to step by step progress through the book. Let’s for example say you are currently reviewing vocabularies 101 to 200. Once you know vocabularies 101 to 150 very well, you can start learning vocabularies 201 to 250 and on the next day skip 101-150 and continue reviewing vocabularies 151 to 250. This way, step by step, you will work your way through the book and your language skills will jump with each page you master. Some final thoughts: Like many language hacking methods, this book is quite unconventional in its approach, but for a driven person that uses it correctly it can significantly speed up the learning process. Vocabulary books have been around for centuries and as with so many things that have been around for some time, they are not very fashionable and a bit boring, but they usually work quite well – and that is what counts in the end.

The aim of this book is to provide the student of Japanese with a simple method for correlating the writing and the meaning of Japanese characters in such a way as to make them both easy to remember. It is intended not only for the beginner, but also for the more advanced student looking for some relief from the constant frustration of how to write the kanji and some way to systematize what he or she already knows. The author begins with writing because--contrary to first impressions--it is in fact the simpler of the two. He abandons the traditional method of ordering the kanji according to their frequency of use and organizes them according to their component parts or "primitive elements." Assigning each of these parts a distinct meaning with its own distinct image, the student is led to harness the powers of "imaginative memory" to learn the various combinations that result. In addition, each kanji is given its own key word to represent the meaning, or one of the principal meanings, of that character. These key words provide the setting for a particular kanji's "story," whose protagonists are the primitive elements. In this way, students are able to complete in a few short months a task that would otherwise take years. Armed with the same skills as Chinese or Korean students, who know the meaning and writing of the kanji but not their pronunciation in Japanese, they are now in a much better position to learn to read (which is treated in a separate volume).

In this book, the first written about the globalization of the English language by a professional historian, the exploration of English's global ascendancy receives its proper historical due. This brief, accessible volume breaks new ground in its organization, emphasis on causation, and conclusions.

We have only started on our development of our country—we have not as yet, with all our talk of wonderful progress, done more than scratch the surface. The progress has been wonderful enough—but when we compare what we have done with what there is to do, then our past accomplishments are as nothing. When we consider that more power is used merely in ploughing the soil than is used in all the industrial establishments of the country put together, an inkling comes of how much opportunity there is ahead. And now, with so many countries of the world in ferment and with so much unrest every where, is an excellent time to suggest something of the things that may be done in the light of what has been done. When one speaks of increasing power, machinery, and industry there comes up a picture of a cold, metallic sort of world in which great factories will drive away the trees, the flowers, the birds, and the green fields. And that then we shall have a world composed of metal machines and human machines. With all of that I do not agree. I think that unless we know more about machines and their use, unless we better understand the mechanical portion of life, we cannot have the time to enjoy the trees, and the birds, and the flowers, and the green fields. I think that we have already done too much toward banishing the pleasant things from life by thinking that there is some opposition between living and providing the means of living. We waste so much time and energy that we have little left over in which to enjoy ourselves.

Die Studie zeichnet die historischen Voraussetzungen und kulturelle Interferenzen der Bioakustik avant la lettre nach.

This volume is the first comprehensive handbook of Japanese phonetics and phonology describing the basic phonetic and phonological structures of modern Japanese with main focus on standard Tokyo Japanese. Its primary goal is to provide a comprehensive overview and descriptive generalizations of major phonetic and phonological phenomena in modern Japanese by reviewing important studies in the fields over the past century. It also presents a summary of interesting questions that remain unsolved in the literature. The volume consists of eighteen chapters in addition to an introduction to the whole volume. In addition to providing descriptive generalizations of empirical phonetic/phonological facts, this volume also aims to give an overview of major phonological theories including, but not restricted to, traditional generative phonology, lexical phonology, prosodic morphology, intonational phonology, and the more recent Optimality Theory. It also touches on theories of speech perception and production. This book serves as a comprehensive guide to Japanese phonetics and phonology for all interested in linguistics and speech sciences.

This dictionary describes the current usage of French-speaking peoples in the five broad regions of South Louisiana: the coastal marshes, the banks of the Mississippi River, the central area, the north, and the western prairie. Data were collected during interviews from at least five persons in each of twenty-four areas in these regions. In addition to the data collected from fieldwork, the dictionary contains material compiled from existing lexical inventories, from texts published after 1930, and from archival recordings. The new authoritative resource, the DLF not only contains the largest number of words and expressions but also provides the most complete information available for each entry. Entries include the word in the conventional French spelling, the pronunciation (including attested variants), the part of speech classification, the English equivalent, and the word's use in common phrases. The DLF features a wealth of illustrative examples derived from fieldwork and textual sources and identification of the parish where the entry was collected or the source from which it was compiled. An English-to-Louisiana French index enables readers to find out how particular notions would be expressed in la Louisiane .

El español en contacto con otras lenguas is the first comprehensive historical, social, and linguistic overview of Spanish in contact with other languages in all of its major contexts—in Spain, the United States, and Latin America. In this significant contribution to the field of Hispanic linguistics, Carol A. Klee and Andrew Lynch explore the historical and social factors that have shaped contact varieties of the Spanish language, synthesizing the principle arguments and theories about language contact, and examining linguistic changes in Spanish phonology, morphology and syntax, and pragmatics. Individual chapters analyze particular contact situations: in Spain, contact with Basque, Catalan, Valencian, and Galician; in Mexico, Central, and South America, contact with Nahuatl, Maya, Quechua, Aimara, and Guarani; in the Southern Cone, contact with other principle European languages such as Portuguese, Italian, English, German, and Danish; in the United States, contact with English. A separate chapter explores issues of creolization in the Philippines and the Americas and highlights the historical influence of African languages on Spanish, primarily in the Caribbean and Equatorial Guinea. Written in Spanish, this detailed synthesis of wide-ranging research will be a valuable resource for scholars of Hispanic linguistics, language contact, and sociolinguistics.

Hans Ørberg's Lingua Latina per se Illustrata is the world's premiere series for learning Latin via the Natural Method. The Natural Method encourages students to learn Latin without resorting to translation, but instead by teaching them to think in the language: students first learn grammar and vocabulary inductively through extended contextual reading and an ingenious system of marginal notes. Lingua Latina per se Illustrata is also the most popular series for those teachers at both the secondary and collegiate levels who wish to develop Latin conversational skills in the classroom. Familia Romana (the main book of Pars I of the Lingua Latina per se illustrata series, entirely in Latin*) contains thirty-five chapters and describes the life of a Roman family in the 2nd century A.D. It culminates in readings from classical poets and Donatus's Ars Grammatica, the standard Latin school text for a millennium. Each chapter is divided into two or three lessons (lectiones) of a few pages each followed by a grammar section (Grammatica Latina) and three exercises (Pensa). Hans Ørberg's impeccable Latin, humorous stories, and the Peer Lauritzen illustrations, reproduced in full color, make this work a classic. The book also includes a table of declensions, a Roman calendar, and a word index (index vocabulorum). The Lingua Latina series incorporates the following features: The most comprehensive treatment of Latin grammar available in an elementary textbook. A vocabulary of almost 1,800 words, reinforced by constant and creatively phrased repetition, vastly expands the potential for later sight reading. A complete line of ancillary volumes, exercises, and readers both in print and online. * The main books in the Lingua Latin per se Illustrata series, Familia Romana (Pars I) and Roma Aeterna (Pars II) are entirely in Latin. Additional student guides for the series are also available from Hackett Publishing Company / Focus, including Hans H. Ørberg's Latine Disco, a student guide in English for Familia Romana, and Jeanne Marie Neumann's A Companion to Familia Romana. Companion offers a running commentary, in English, of the Latin grammar covered in Hans H. Ørberg's Familia Romana, and includes the complete text of the Ørberg ancillaries Grammatica Latina and Latin–English Vocabulary. It also serves as a substitute for Ørberg's Latine Disco, on which it is based.

यह उपन्यास सबसे पहले 1949 में लखनऊ में लिखा गया। तब इसका स्वरूप एवं प्रारूप बिल्कुल भिन्न थे। यदि उसी रूप में छपता तो मेरा विश्वास है कि यह कहीं अधिक सशक्त एवं व्यवस्थित होता। लेकिन दुर्भाग्य न केवल व्यक्तियों का ही होता है बल्कि कुछ कृतियों का भी होता है। सन ’49 से लेकर ’53 तक लोगों के परामर्श के फलस्वरूप अनेक परिवर्तन इसमें किये गये, फलतः रंजना, एक असंभाव्य चरित्र बन गयी। सच माने रंजना की यह असंभाव्यता मेरे कारण नहीं हुई। कैसे और क्यों हुई, यह स्वयं मनोरंजन है पर उसकी चर्चा वांछनीय न होगी। अस्तु

Since its publication in 2008, A Grammar of the Hittite Language has been the definitive Hittite reference and teaching tool. This new edition brings Hoffner and Melchert’s essential work up to date, incorporating the dramatic progress achieved in the field over the past fifteen years. Heavily revised and expanded, the second edition recasts the discussion of topics to better serve the linguistically informed reader. A reorganized presentation of the synchronic facts makes them accessible to both Hittitologists and linguists interested in Hittite for historical or typological purposes. Part 1 provides a thorough overview of Hittite grammar that is grounded in abundant textual examples. Part 2 is a tutorial that guides students through a series of graded lessons with illustrative sentences for translation. The tutorial is keyed to the reference grammar and includes extensive updated notes. Taken together with Part 2: Tutorial, which guides students through a series of graded lessons keyed to this reference grammar, the work remains the most comprehensive and detailed Hittite grammar ever produced.

Masterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Literaturgeschichte, Epochen, Note: 1,0, Ruhr-Universität Bochum (Germanistisches Institut), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Relationen von Literatur und Medizin sind in den letzten Jahrzehnten intensiv erforscht worden. Thematisch erstrecken sich die Untersuchungen von der antiken Literatur und Medizin über die medizinischen Dialoge in der Renaissance bis zur literarischen Anthropologie im 18. Jahrhundert. Gerade im 18. Jahrhundert spielt die Medizin in der Literatur eine große Rolle: medizinische Beobachtungen werden literarisch festgehalten und Literatur nutzt und beschreibt medizinische Phänomene. Dazu gehören unter anderem Fallgeschichten und –berichte sowie die Ästhetik und Diätetik der philosophischen Ärzte mit der Konzeption des commercium mentis et corporis, dem Zusammenhang von Körper und Geist. Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit literarischen Texte des späten 18. Jahrhunderts, in denen Literatur, beziehungsweise die schönen Künste als Mittel fungieren , um den Menschen im seelischen, moralischen oder auch medizinischen Sinne zu heilen. Homöopathie und Konzepte von Geselligkeit und Ästhetik spielen in diesem Kontext für die Heilungsprozesse der verschiedenen innerhalb der ausgewählten Texte eine wichtige Rolle. Literatur stellt medizinisch-therapeutische Konzepte dar, in denen Kunst und Literatur selbst Heilmittel sind und reflektiert somit die eigenen Möglichkeiten und Probleme. Ich untersuche innerhalb dieses Rahmens ein abgegrenztes Schriftkorpus von Goethe und Schiller unter der Fragestellung, inwieweit Literatur, beziehungsweise schöne Kunst im weiteren Sinne, heilend oder therapeutisch wirken soll und kann. Als Textkorpus dient die theoretische Schrift Friedrich Schillers Über die ästhetische Erziehung des Menschen in einer Reihe von Briefen (1795), die mit den Unterhaltungen deutscher Ausgewanderten (1795), der Ersten Epistel (1795) sowie dem Festspiel Lila (3. Fassung 1788) von Johann Wolfgang Goethe in Beziehung gesetzt wird.

This is a dictionary of Nafsan, the language spoken in Vanuatu in the south of Efate Island in the villages of Erakor, Pango, and Eratap. Nafsan is one of 130 distinct languages spoken in Vanuatu. Over several decades, linguist Nicholas Thieberger worked in close collaboration with the Erakor community to record this unique language and to refine its written presentation. The resulting publication offers insight into the diversity of meanings available to speakers of Nafsan, providing some 3,400 senses for Nafsan words and an English-Nafsan finderlist. In addition, the book gives an overview of the Nafsan sound system, provides a list of existing literature on the language dating back to early missionary translations, and includes maps of Efate locating nearly 200 place names. Readers will also find South Efate cultural knowledge embedded in the explanations of the Nafsan words and their usages. A welcome companion to Thieberger’s A Grammar of South Efate (2006), this book complements and significantly augments other multimedia resources made available online by the author.

Orature and Yorùbá Riddles takes readers into the hitherto unexplored undercurrents of riddles in Africa. Because of its oral and all too often ephemeral nature, riddles have escaped close scrutiny from scholars. The strength of the Yorùbá as the focus of this study is impressive indeed: a major ethnic group in Africa, with established connections with the black diaspora in North America and the Caribean; a rich oral and written culture; a large and diverse population; and an integrated rural-urban society. The book is divided into six chapters for readers' convenience. When read in sequence, the book provides a comprehensive, holistic sense of Yorùbá creativity where riddles are concerned. At the same time, the book is conceived in a way that each chapter could be read individually. Therefore, those readers seeking understanding of a specific type of riddle may target a single chapter appearing most relevant to her/his curiosity.

In this book, Jack Greene reinterprets the meaning of American social development. Synthesizing literature of the previous two decades on the process of social development and the formation of American culture, he challenges the central assumptions that have traditionally been used to analyze colonial British American history. Greene argues that the New England declension model traditionally employed by historians is inappropriate for describing social change in all the other early modern British colonies. The settler societies established in Ireland, the Atlantic island colonies of Bermuda and the Bahamas, the West Indies, the Middle Colonies, and the Lower South followed instead a pattern first exhibited in America in the Chesapeake. That pattern involved a process in which these new societies slowly developed into more elaborate cultural entities, each of which had its own distinctive features. Greene also stresses the social and cultural convergence between New England and the other regions of colonial British America after 1710 and argues that by the eve of the American Revolution Britain's North American colonies were both more alike and more like the parent society than ever before. He contends as well that the salient features of an emerging American culture during these years are to be found not primarily in New England puritanism but in widely manifest configurations of sociocultural behavior exhibited throughout British North America, including New England, and he emphasized the centrality of slavery to that culture.

The bestselling, widely acclaimed translation from Stephen Mitchell "Mitchell's rendition of the Tao Te Ching comes as close to being definitive for our time as any I can imagine. It embodies the virtues its translator credits to the Chinese original: a gemlike lucidity that is radiant with humor, grace, largeheartedness, and deep wisdom." — Huston Smith, author of The Religions of Man In eighty-one brief chapters, Lao-tzu's Tao Te Ching, or Book of the Way, provides advice that imparts balance and perspective, a serene and generous spirit, and teaches us how to work for the good with the effortless skill that comes from being in accord with the Tao—the basic principle of the universe.

Victor Hugo est le seul à avoir prononcé autant de condamnations ad hominem contre les magistrats de son siècle. Le XIXe siècle cherche en effet son présent et s'interroge sur son avenir. « L'homme-siècle » participe à tous ces débats et prononce ses condamnations en poète. Il croit à la puissance politique de la poésie. Le juriste et le citoyen pourront constater quels considérables changements a effectué le monde des juges depuis Hugo, mais aussi que si aucun juge ne sanctionna ces magistrats iniques, c'est la poésie qui les condamna à la plus sévère des dégradations, celle de l'Histoire.

This volume is the product of scholars of various backgrounds, specialties and agendas bringing forth their most treasured findings regarding the Chinese Catholic Church. The chapters in this book covering the church from 1900 to the present trace the development of the Church in China from many historical and disciplinary vantage points.

Dennis Loraine died in self-imposed obscurity in South London. During the last three decades of his life he slept with a revolver under his pillow. Dennis's childhood in a Bristol orphanage gave him a thirst for success. The University of Life, however, made him cabin boy, code-breaker and actor. By his early thirties he had married four times and fathered a dozen children. He maintained a lavish lifestyle by preying on older women. He became a trusted friend of the famous and wanted to be like them. With his partner, screen idol and Oscar winner George Sanders, he created the Company of Cads which was to become the driving force behind the greatest financial scandal of the 1960's. Celebrity investors, who included world famous author Graham Greene and silent movie legend Charlie Chaplin, had their careers compromised. The Cads also took millions from the public purse. When the company collapsed Dennis went underground as a US Secret Service mole and was instrumental in bringing to justice those behind the biggest counterfeiting operation in US history. As a consequence of this, and a possible attempt to embarrass a future Prime Minister, the Cads scandal was whitewashed and none of the principals were brought to justice in the UK. As Dennis Loraine’s oldest son, I am uniquely placed to tell his story. The intention throughout is to excavate the truth and to reveal something of the world in which my father lived and moved. Significant events are corroborated by solid documentary evidence.

The Italian Emigration of Modern Times examines diplomatic issues that arose between Italy and the United States over a series of lynchings of Italian immigrant labourers before World War I. The work explores a significant epoch in Italian economic and diplomatic history which became intertwined with American ethnic and race relations issues. On one level, the book emphasises the pragmatism and restraint which characterized Italy’s official reactions to these repeated episodes of murder of its nationals. On another level, it shows that the diplomatic crises which swirled around the lynching of Italians pushed onto the American political scene the question of whether there should be a federal anti-lynching law. Naturally, the lynching of Italian nationals in the US produced wide public outrage in Italy. Italian domestic outcries presented the Italian government with a serious dilemma. Emigrant savings and financial transfers to family members remaining in Italy were an important economic asset. Italian diplomats launched investigations and protested vigorously, but ended up accepting federal financial compensation for the victims’ families. The consistent pragmatism and restraint of the Italian government through these episodes of violence is the unifying theme of the entire work.

"Riveting. ... Pattison's uncanny ability [is] to write evocatively about science. ... In this, he is every bit as good as the best scientist writers." —New York Times Book Review (Editors' Choice) "Brilliant. ... A work of staggering depth." —Minneapolis Star Tribune A decade in the making, Fossil Men is a scientific detective story played out in anatomy and the natural history of the human body: the first full-length account of the discovery of a startlingly unpredicted human ancestor more than a million years older than Lucy It is the ultimate mystery: where do we come from? In 1994, a team led by fossil-hunting legend Tim White uncovered a set of ancient bones in Ethiopia’s Afar region. Radiometric dating of nearby rocks indicated the resulting skeleton, classified as Ardipithecus ramidus—nicknamed “Ardi”—was an astounding 4.4 million years old, more than a million years older than the world-famous “Lucy.” The team spent the next 15 years studying the bones in strict secrecy, all while continuing to rack up landmark fossil discoveries in the field and becoming increasingly ensnared in bitter disputes with scientific peers and Ethiopian bureaucrats. When finally revealed to the public, Ardi stunned scientists around the world and challenged a half-century of orthodoxy about human evolution—how we started walking upright, how we evolved our nimble hands, and, most significantly, whether we were descended from an ancestor that resembled today’s chimpanzee. But the discovery of Ardi wasn’t just a leap forward in understanding the roots of humanity--it was an attack on scientific convention and the leading authorities of human origins, triggering an epic feud about the oldest family skeleton. In Fossil Men, acclaimed journalist Kermit Pattison brings us a cast of eccentric, obsessive scientists, including White, an uncompromising perfectionist whose virtuoso skills in the field were matched only by his propensity for making enemies; Gen Suwa, a Japanese savant whose deep expertise about teeth rivaled anyone on Earth; Owen Lovejoy, a onetime creationist-turned-paleoanthropologist with radical insights into human locomotion; Berhane Asfaw, who survived imprisonment and torture to become Ethiopia’s most senior paleoanthropologist; Don Johanson, the discoverer of Lucy, who had a rancorous falling out with the Ardi team; and the Leakeys, for decades the most famous family in paleoanthropology. Based on a half-decade of research in Africa, Europe and North America, Fossil Men is not only a brilliant investigation into the origins of the human lineage, but the oldest of human emotions: curiosity, jealousy, perseverance and wonder.

Standing at the very foundation of monotheism, and so of Western culture, Moses is a figure not of history, but of memory. As such, he is the quintessential subject for the innovative historiography Jan Assmann both defines and practices in this work, the study of historical memory--a study, in this case, of the ways in which factual and fictional events and characters are stored in religious beliefs and transformed in their philosophical justification, literary reinterpretation, philological restitution (or falsification), and psychoanalytic demystification. To account for the complexities of the foundational event through which monotheism was established, Moses the Egyptian goes back to the short-lived monotheistic revolution of the Egyptian king Akhenaten (1360-1340 B.C.E.). Assmann traces the monotheism of Moses to this source, then shows how his followers denied the Egyptians any part in the origin of their beliefs and condemned them as polytheistic idolaters. Thus began the cycle in which every "counter-religion," by establishing itself as truth, denounced all others as false. Assmann reconstructs this cycle as a pattern of historical abuse, and tracks its permutations from ancient sources, including the Bible, through Renaissance debates over the basis of religion to Sigmund Freud's Moses and Monotheism. One of the great Egyptologists of our time, and an exceptional scholar of history and literature, Assmann is uniquely equipped for this undertaking--an exemplary case study of the vicissitudes of historical memory that is also a compelling lesson in the fluidity of cultural identity and beliefs.

Drawing is at the heart of human creativity. The most democratic form of art-making, it requires nothing more than a plain surface and a stub of pencil, a piece of chalk or an inky brush. Our prehistoric ancestors drew with natural pigments on the walls of caves, and every subsequent culture has practised drawing – whether on papyrus, parchment or paper. Artists throughout history have used drawing as part of the creative process. While painting and sculpture have been shaped heavily by money and influence, drawing has always offered extraordinary creative latitude. Here we see the artist at his or her most unguarded. Susan Owens offers a glimpse over artists’ shoulders – from Michelangelo, Rembrandt and Hokusai to Van Gogh, Käthe Kollwitz and Yayoi Kusama – as they work, think and innovate, as they scrutinise the world around them or escape into their imaginations. The Story of Drawing loops around the established history of art, sometimes staying close, at other times diving into exhilarating and altogether less familiar territory.

“Perlstein...aims here at nothing less than weaving a tapestry of social upheaval. His success is dazzling.” —Los Angeles Times “Both brilliant and fun, a consuming journey back into the making of modern politics.” —Jon Meacham “Nixonland is a grand historical epic. Rick Perlstein has turned a story we think we know—American politics between the opposing presidential landslides of 1964 and 1972—into an often-surprising and always-fascinating new narrative.” —Jeffrey Toobin Rick Perlstein’s bestselling account of how the Nixon era laid the groundwork for the political divide that marks our country today. Told with vivid urgency and sharp political insight, Nixonland recaptures America’s turbulent 1960s and early 1970s and reveals how Richard Nixon rose from the political grave to seize and hold the presidency of the United States. Perlstein’s epic account begins in the blood and fire of the 1965 Watts riots, nine months after Lyndon Johnson’s historic landslide victory over Barry Goldwater appeared to herald a permanent liberal consensus in the United States. Yet the next year, scores of liberals were tossed out of Congress, America was more divided than ever, and a disgraced politician was on his way to a shocking comeback: Richard Nixon. Between 1965 and 1972 America experienced no less than a second civil war. Out of its ashes, the political world we know now was born. Filled with prodigious research and driven by a powerful narrative, Rick Perlstein’s magisterial account of how it all happened confirms his place as one of our country’s most celebrated historians.

«لم يكن واحد من الرجال الذين ملأوا فضاء مرج دابق في تلك الليلة الصيفية الحارَّة يعرف على وجه التحديد كيف ستنتهي الأمور. كل ما كانوا يعرفونه أن الحرب قد أصبحت أمرًا مقررًا، وأنها قد تنشب في أي لحظة، وأن إقامتهم في هذا المرج الواسع لن تطول. أما كيف تتوزع بينهم الحظوظ: مَن منهم سوف يُؤخذ أسيرًا؟ ومن منهم سوف يسقط شهيدًا في المعركة؟ وهل ينتصر الجيش الذي يقوده سلطانهم الملك الأشرف أبو النصر قانصوه الغوري، أم ينتصر جيش عدوهم السلطان المظفر سليم خان بن بايزيد العثماني؟ فذلك كله لم يكن واحد منهم يعرف شيئًا عنه». هكذا يبدأ الكاتب الكبير صلاح عيسى كتابه الممتع عن الفتح العثماني لمصر والشام. وكما عوَّدنا في مؤلفاته التاريخية: «رجال ريا وسكينة»، و«حكايات من دفتر الوطن»، و«هوامش المقريزي: حكايات من مصر»، فالتاريخ هنا ليس تاريخ الحُكام، بل تاريخ الشعوب في تعاملهم مع حياتهم وفي مواجهتهم للأخطار التي تتهددها. عن المؤلف: صلاح عيسى صحفي وأديب ومؤرخ. ولد عام 1939 في قرية بشلا بمحافظة الدقهلية. اعتُقل لأول مرة بسبب آرائه السياسية عام 1966، وتكرر اعتقاله أو القبض عليه أو التحقيق معه أو محاكمته في سنوات 1968 و1972 و1975 و1977 و1979 و1981. أسس وشارك في تأسيس وإدارة تحرير عدد من الصحف والمجلات، منها: الكتاب والثقافة الوطنية والأهالي واليسار والصحفيون، ورأس مجلس إدارة جريدة القاهرة. صدر له 20 كتابًا في التاريخ والفكر السياسي والاجتماعي والأدب، من أبرزها: «رجال ريا وسكينة» و«الثورة العُرابية» و«حكايات من دفتر الوطن» و«هوامش المقريزي: حكايات من مصر»، و«رجال مرج دابق: قصة الفتح العثماني لمصر والشام».

We are raised, by tradition, to trust our governments, and are convinced that they care about us. This, however, is a big mistake. Below the surface of official politics lies a complicated social and intellectual process that is taking place. The visible world leaders are mere puppets directed by an invisible elite from behind the scenes. The true aim of this elite group is complete control of Planet Earth. IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND: RELIGIOUS DOGMA OF THE ELITE It might surprise you that the ruling elite of this world consider Lucifer to be their only and true god; that one day he will openly rule this world. As long as our global elite believes that Lucifer's ultimate goal is establishing a dictatorial world power, everybody on earth will experience the daily consequences of this.

The mutiny on HMS Bounty, in the South Pacific on 28 April 1789, is one of history's truly great stories - a tale of human drama, intrigue and adventure of the highest order - and in the hands of Peter FitzSimons it comes to life as never before. Commissioned by the Royal Navy to collect breadfruit plants from Tahiti and take them to the West Indies, the Bounty's crew found themselves in a tropical paradise. Five months later, they did not want to leave. Under the leadership of Fletcher Christian most of the crew mutinied soon after sailing from Tahiti, setting Captain William Bligh and 18 loyal crewmen adrift in a small open boat. In one of history's great feats of seamanship, Bligh navigated this tiny vessel for 3618 nautical miles to Timor. Fletcher Christian and the mutineers sailed back to Tahiti, where most remained and were later tried for mutiny. But Christian, along with eight fellow mutineers and some Tahitian men and women, sailed off into the unknown, eventually discovering the isolated Pitcairn Island - at the time not even marked on British maps - and settling there. This astonishing story is historical adventure at its very best, encompassing the mutiny, Bligh's monumental achievement in navigating to safety, and Fletcher Christian and the mutineers' own epic journey from the sensual paradise of Tahiti to the outpost of Pitcairn Island. The mutineers' descendants live on Pitcairn to this day, amid swirling stories and rumours of past sexual transgressions and present-day repercussions. Mutiny on the Bounty is a sprawling, dramatic tale of intrigue, bravery and sheer boldness, told with the accuracy of historical detail and total command of story that are Peter FitzSimons' trademarks.

Filled with fresh interpretations and information, puncturing old myths and challenging new ones, Battle Cry of Freedom will unquestionably become the standard one-volume history of the Civil War. James McPherson's fast-paced narrative fully integrates the political, social, and military events that crowded the two decades from the outbreak of one war in Mexico to the ending of another at Appomattox. Packed with drama and analytical insight, the book vividly recounts the momentous episodes that preceded the Civil War--the Dred Scott decision, the Lincoln-Douglas debates, John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry--and then moves into a masterful chronicle of the war itself--the battles, the strategic maneuvering on both sides, the politics, and the personalities. Particularly notable are McPherson's new views on such matters as the slavery expansion issue in the 1850s, the origins of the Republican Party, the causes of secession, internal dissent and anti-war opposition in the North and the South, and the reasons for the Union's victory. The book's title refers to the sentiments that informed both the Northern and Southern views of the conflict: the South seceded in the name of that freedom of self-determination and self-government for which their fathers had fought in 1776, while the North stood fast in defense of the Union founded by those fathers as the bulwark of American liberty. Eventually, the North had to grapple with the underlying cause of the war--slavery--and adopt a policy of emancipation as a second war aim. This "new birth of freedom," as Lincoln called it, constitutes the proudest legacy of America's bloodiest conflict. This authoritative volume makes sense of that vast and confusing "second American Revolution" we call the Civil War, a war that transformed a nation and expanded our heritage of liberty.

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! NPR 2024 "Books We Love" Selection "Shuster crafts an intimate account of the Russian invasion, which vividly captures Zelensky’s transformation from a clean-cut funnyman into a war hero out of central casting." --New York Times Book Review; Editors' Choice Selection “The Showman surpasses all similar efforts to date and is set to be the standard by which all other works on Mr. Zelensky and Ukraine’s wartime politics will be judged." —Wall Street Journal A monumental account of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the forging of a leader, The Showman provides an insider’s perspective on the war reshaping our world, based on unprecedented access to Volodymyr Zelensky and the high command in Kyiv. Time correspondent Simon Shuster chronicles the life and leadership of Volodymyr Zelensky from the dressing rooms of his variety shows to the muddy trenches of Ukraine’s war with Russia. Based on four years of reporting; extensive travels with President Zelensky to the front; and dozens of interviews with him, his wife, his friends and enemies, his advisers, ministers and military commanders, Shuster tells the intimate and revealing story of the president’s evolution from a slapstick actor to a symbol of resilience. In their most candid accounts of the war so far, members of Zelensky’s inner circle show how the president’s character changed under the strains of leadership and the horrors he witnessed each day. His wife, First Lady Olena Zelenska, describes her escape from Kyiv with their children, her life on the run, and the tensions that emerged in her marriage as she struggled to return to a meaningful role in the administration. Ukraine’s top military commander, General Valery Zaluzhny, shares the untold story of his fraught relationship with the president and the subsequent consequences. Reflecting on their own regrets and critical decisions, Zelensky and his senior aides open up about the causes of the Russian invasion and how it may have been avoided. They describe with astonishing frankness how their peace talks with Vladimir Putin fell apart and how their faith in the U.S. faltered, both under Donald Trump and Joe Biden. The Showman provides the first inside account of Zelensky’s life amid the invasion, offering a clear-eyed view of his failures to prepare for it and his willingness to silence dissent under martial law. What emerges is a complex picture of a man struggling to break what he sees as a historical cycle of oppression that began generations before he was born. Even as the war drags on, Zelensky lays out his vision for its future course and, through his actions, demonstrates his strategy for countering the Russians and keeping the West on his side. The Showman, as a work of eyewitness journalism, provides an essential perspective on the war defining our age, resulting in a riveting, vivid portrait of the invasion as experienced by its number one target and improbable hero.

Bằng lời kể của những người chứng kiến nạn đói, kết hợp với tư liệu trước đó, sách "Nạn đói 1945 ở Việt Nam - những chứng tích lịch sử" tái hiện chân thực bức tranh nạn đói 1945. Cho tới nay, nhắc tới nạn đói 1945, có lẽ người Việt Nam nào cũng biết hơn 2 triệu người đã chết đói trong thảm họa đó. Những tư liệu viết về nạn đói không quá khó tìm, còn lưu lại rải rác trong các tài liệu đã thành văn như sách, báo. Tuy nhiên, nghiên cứu về sự kiện lịch sử này từ các nhân chứng lịch sử mang một ý nghĩa khác. Qua lời kể, trí nhớ của những người từng chứng kiến và đi qua nạn đói, sự việc được thể hiện mang tính khách quan, chân xác, đáng tin cậy. Hai phiên bản cuốn Nạn đói năm 1945 ở Việt Nam - Những chứng tích lịch sử. Tiểu ban hợp tác Việt - Nhật đã thực hiện một nghiên cứu về nạn đói, trong đó một phần nghiên cứu dựa trên tiếp xúc nhân chứng. Công trình này được xuất bản thành sách Nạn đói 1945 ở Việt Nam - Những chứng tích lịch sử do GS Văn Tạo và GS Furuta Moto chủ biên. Điều tra thực địa Nhóm nghiên cứu đã điều tra thực địa theo phương pháp xã hội học lịch sử. Gọi là điều tra thực địa, bởi các nhà nghiên cứu đã tiến hành điều tra ngay trên chính mảnh đất mà nạn đói xảy ra vào năm 1945. Nạn đói diễn ra trên diện rộng, ở 32 tỉnh, 2 thành phố miền Bắc. Kinh phí, nhân lực có hạn, nên nhóm nghiên cứu đã tìm một số nơi làm điểm, từ đó khải quát ra cả diện. Nơi được chọn làm “điểm” có thể là một thôn, một xã, một huyện… là nơi diễn ra nạn đói rõ nét, tiêu biểu cho nhiều thôn xã ở vùng được chọn. Nơi đó cũng phải còn nhiều người từng sống sót qua nạn đói 1945. Các điểm điều tra cũng phải đảm bảo phải nằm ở cả đồng bằng, trung du, miền núi, có điểm là làng quê, có điểm ven đô thị; đa số các điểm làm nông nghiệp, nhưng cũng có điểm làm nghề thủ công, ngư nghiệp, buôn bán nhỏ… GS Văn Tạo (trái) và GS Furuta Moto - hai đồng chủ biên cuốn sách. Có 3 đợt điều tra tại 23 điểm đã được thực hiện. Đợt một tiến hành ở xã Tây Lương, huyện Tiền Hải, tỉnh Thái Bình vào mùa hè năm 1992. Đợt 2 điều tra ở 7 điểm: Cổ Bi (Gia Lâm), Do Nhân Hạ (Mê Linh), Quần Mục (Đồ Sơn, Hải Phòng), Chi Lai (Kiến An, Hải Phòng), Đồng Côi (Nam Ninh, Nam Định), Tây Yên (Gia Khánh, Ninh Bình), Làng Trung (thành phố Vinh, Nghệ An). Đợt 3 tiến hành ở 15 địa điểm từ Quảng Trị trở ra, gồm: Quảng Trị, Quảng Bình, Hà Tĩnh, Thanh Hóa, Hòa Bình, Hà Nam, Hà Đông, Phú Thọ, Bắc Ninh, Bắc Giang, Hải Dương, Hưng Yên, Quảng Yên, Thái Nguyên, Cao Bằng. Tại mỗi điểm, các nhà nghiên cứu tìm gặp những người già đã sống sót qua nạn đói, hỏi chuyện, ghi âm, chụp hình lời kể của họ. Dựa trên những lời kể đó, cùng với các tư liệu trong sổ sách, nhóm nghiên cứu đã thống kê, phân tích chi tiết thông tin thu thập được. Mỗi điểm nghiên cứu đều được khái quát tình hình chung của địa phương, đời sống của nhân dân trước khi xảy ra nạn đói. Phần thống kê coi trọng không chỉ số người bị chết bởi nạn đói mà còn chú trọng tới hoàn cảnh riêng của từng hộ. Có hộ khá giả cũng chết đói, có hộ nghèo nhưng nhận sự giúp đỡ, hoặc tham gia phá kho thóc Nhật mà được cứu đói… Nhờ đó, thảm cảnh nạn đói được thể hiện chân xác, cụ thể tới từng thôn, xóm, từng hộ gia đình, từng nạn nhân chết đói. Ví dụ, tại điểm điều tra xã Tây Lượng, huyện Tiền Hải, Thái Bình, nhóm nghiên cứu biết được năm 1945 toàn xã có 4 thôn, 3 trại với 6.000 dân, số người chết đói là 2/3 xã. Ở Thôn Lương Phú, có 280 hộ, trong đó số hộ chết hết là: 54, chiếm 19,28%, số người chết đói là 594 người (chiếm 43,07% dân số). Xóm Trại của thôn Thượng là nơi chết đói nhiều nhất trong xã, đã bị xóa sổ. Số hộ ở xóm là 34 hộ, 130 khẩu, thì có tới 103 khẩu chết đói, chỉ còn lại 27 người. Tỉ lệ chết đói ở đây là 79%. Trại này đã bị xóa sổ sau nạn đói 1945. Tại xóm Bối Xuyên, có 51 hộ, thì 40 hộ có người chết đói, trong đó 18 hộ chết sạch cả gia đình. Chỉ có 10 hộ không bị chết. Hai dòng họ Tô và Lại gần như bị xóa sổ. Ngõ xóm Giữa thôn Thượng có 9 gia đình, với 61 nhân khẩu, thì bị chết đói tới 59 người, chỉ còn 2 người thoát chết (tỷ lệ 96,7%). Cái nhìn đa chiều Những thống kê chi tiết tới từng xóm, từng hộ gia đình, từng người là nạn nhân của nạn đói được thể hiện trong sách. Cuốn sách thể hiện khái quát tình hình chung ở điểm điều tra, đưa ra được số liệu thống kê cụ thể về các hộ gia đình, danh sách các chủ hộ và thành viên trong gia đình, số người chết đói, số người sống sót, ghi chú những điểm cần thiết. Điểm giá trị của công trình này là những nhân chứng cung cấp tài liệu bằng câu chuyện họ kể Không chỉ thống kê về số người bị nạn đói cướp đi sinh mạng, những thống kê chi tiết của sách còn cho thấy bức tranh đời sống một số địa phương Việt Nam những năm 1945. Ở mỗi điểm điều tra xã hội học, nhóm lập bảng thống kê chi tiết theo từng hộ gia đình. Trong đó, cho thấy số nhân khẩu trong gia đình, quan hệ trong từng gia đình, nghề nghiệp của từng người... Cuốn sách cũng đưa ra những nghiên cứu từ tư liệu thành văn trước đó, như tư liệu về cơ cấu tổ chức vơ vét thóc gạo của phát xít Nhật, tư liệu diễn biến nạn đói, bao gồm thư tịch, tranh ảnh, bản đồ. Ở phần cuối, sách đưa ra kết luận công trình nghiên cứu, nhằm nói lên sự tàn khốc của nạn đói năm 1945. Sách in kèm phụ lục là những bức ảnh mà nghệ sĩ nhiếp ảnh Võ An Ninh chụp về nạn đói. Cho tới nay, Nạn đói năm 1945 ở Việt Nam - Những chứng tích lịch sử được coi là công trình dầy dặn nhất nghiên cứu về thảm kịch này. Cuốn sách giúp hậu thế có cái nhìn toàn cảnh đa chiều, sâu sắc và chân xác về nạn đói 1945. *** Nạn đói năm 1945 làm khoảng 400 ngàn - 2 triệu người chết. Ngày nay, nhắc đến nạn đói khủng khiếp năm Ất Dậu ấy người ta sẽ chỉ nhớ có thể, hoặc nếu hơn thì sẽ là những hình ảnh bi thảm trong những thước phim của bộ phim Sao Tháng Tám. Nạn Đói Năm 1945 Ở Việt Nam (Những Chứng Tích Lịch Sử) là công trình nghiên cứu được công bố năm 1995 do Giáo sư Văn Tạo và Giáo sư Furuta Motoo chủ biên. Đến khi ấy, công chúng mới ngỡ ngàng và tìm về cái năm bi thảm nhất trong lịch sử Việt Nam hiện đại. Chết vì đói là cái chết đáng sợ nhất của bất cứ sinh vật nào. Cái chết đến từ từ, không ngừng giày xéo, đày đọa con người trong đau đớn, tủi nhục và sợ hãi. Thế nhưng nạn đói năm 1945 còn gây nên những tấn thảm kịch mà không ai có thể tưởng tượng được. Những ngôi hàng trống rỗng, những con đường ngập xác người hôi thối, những hố chôn tập thể dày đặc. Cái đói tiêu diệt mọi giá trị, phá huỷ nhân cách, đập vỡ lương tri - những thảm kịch mà cái đói biến người ta thành quỷ dữ, những em bé bị chó hoang ăn thịt, cha con giết nhau vì một miếng ăn. Tàn khốc, kinh hoàng là tất cả những gì có thể dùng để nhắc về thảm kịch năm ấy. Con số 2 triệu người cứ như thế xoáy sâu dần dần vào lịch sử và sẽ nhắc cho độc giả thấy, 1945 không chỉ là một năm của độc lập huy hoàng, đó còn là năm của tang thương mất mát. Nạn đói năm 1945 ở Việt Nam được xem là nạn đói thảm khốc nhất trong lịch sử nhân loại, cướp đi tính mạng của hơn hai triệu người vô tội và để lại biết bao hậu quả tang thương cho nhiều thế hệ. Nhưng chìm lấp giữa vô số biến động của thời đại, tiếng kêu phẫn uất thấu tận trời xanh của nạn nhân năm Ất Dậu đôi lúc tưởng chừng rơi vào quên lãng. Mãi tới năm 1995, sự ra đời của công trình nghiên cứu vĩ đại Nạn đói năm 1945 ở Việt Nam - Những chứng tích lịch sử do Giáo sư Văn Tạo và Giáo sư Furuta Motoo chủ biên mới giúp hậu thế có được cái nhìn toàn cảnh đa chiều sâu sắc và chân xác về sự kiện đau xót này. Dựa trên khối tư liệu đồ sộ được xử lý nghiêm túc hiếm có, công trình vừa dựng lại thảm trạng chết đói của người Việt, vừa phân tích cặn kẽ tội ác của phát xít Nhật. Với sự hợp tác của đội ngũ tri thức từ cả hai nước, đây là công trình công phu độc nhất có cái nhìn khách quan thấu suốt vào sự thật lịch sử nạn đói năm 1945 ở Việt Nam. Hơn mười lăm năm kể từ ngày công bố, Nạn đói năm 1945 ở Việt Nam - Những chứng tích lịch sử vẫn còn nguyên giá trị. Mời các bạn đón đọc Nạn Đói Năm 1945 Ở Việt Nam - Những Chứng Tích Lịch Sử của tác giả Văn Tạo & Furuta Motoo.

“The most revealing book ever published on Mao, perhaps on any dictator in history.”—Professor Andrew J. Nathan, Columbia University From 1954 until Mao Zedong's death twenty-two years later, Dr. Li Zhisui was the Chinese ruler's personal physician, which put him in daily—and increasingly intimate—contact with Mao and his inner circle. in The Private Life of Chairman Mao, Dr. Li vividly reconstructs his extraordinary experience at the center of Mao's decadent imperial court. Dr. Li clarifies numerous long-standing puzzles, such as the true nature of Mao's feelings toward the United States and the Soviet Union. He describes Mao's deliberate rudeness toward Khrushchev and reveals the actual catalyst of Nixon's historic visit. Here are also surprising details of Mao's personal depravity (we see him dependent on barbiturates and refusing to wash, dress, or brush his teeth) and the sexual politics of his court. To millions of Chinese, Mao was more god than man, but for Dr. Li, he was all too human. Dr. Li's intimate account of this lecherous, paranoid tyrant, callously indifferent to the suffering of his people, will forever alter our view of Chairman Mao and of China under his rule. Praise for The Private Life of Chairman Mao “From now one no one will be able to pretend to understand Chairman Mao's place in history without reference to this revealing account.”—Professor Lucian Pye, Massachusetts Institute of Technology “Dr. Li does for Mao what the physician Lord Moran's memoir did for Winston Churchill—turns him into a human being. Here is Mao unveiled: eccentric, demanding, suspicious, unregretful, lascivious, and unfailingly fascinating. Our view of Mao will never be the same again.”—Ross Terrill, author of China in Our Time “An extraordinarily intimate portrait of Mao. [Dr. Li] portrays [Mao's imperial court] as a place of boundless decadence, licentiousness, selfishness, relentless toadying and cutthroat political intrigue.”—Richard Bernstein, The New York Times “One of the most provocative books on Mao to appear since the publication of Edgar Snow's Red Star Over China.”—Paul G. Pickowicz, The Wall Street Journal

This collection challenges the tendency among scholars of ancient Greece to see magical and religious ritual as mutually exclusive and to ignore "magical" practices in Greek religion. The contributors survey specific bodies of archaeological, epigraphical, and papyrological evidence for magical practices in the Greek world, and, in each case, determine whether the traditional dichotomy between magic and religion helps in any way to conceptualize the objective features of the evidence examined. Contributors include Christopher A. Faraone, J.H.M. Strubbe, H.S. Versnel, Roy Kotansky, John Scarborough, Samuel Eitrem, Fritz Graf, John J. Winkler, Hans Dieter Betz, and C.R. Phillips.

“Woman, Watching is an entrancing blend of biography, memoir, history, research, and homage that is unlike anything I’ve ever read. It’s radical, it’s ravishing.” — Kyo Maclear, author of Birds Art Life From award-winning author Merilyn Simonds, a remarkable biography of an extraordinary woman — a Swedish aristocrat who survived the Russian Revolution to become an internationally renowned naturalist, one of the first to track the mid-century decline of songbirds. Referred to as a Canadian Rachel Carson, Louise de Kiriline Lawrence lived and worked in an isolated log cabin near North Bay. After her husband was murdered by Bolsheviks, she refused her Swedish privilege and joined the Canadian Red Cross, visiting her northern Ontario patients by dogsled. When Elzire Dionne gave birth to five babies, Louise became nurse to the Dionne Quintuplets. Repulsed by the media circus, she retreated to her wilderness cabin, where she devoted herself to studying the birds that nested in her forest. Author of six books and scores of magazine stories, de Kiriline Lawrence and her “loghouse nest” became a Mecca for international ornithologists. Lawrence was an old woman when Merilyn Simonds moved into the woods not far away. Their paths crossed, sparking Simonds’s lifelong interest. A dedicated birder, Simonds brings her own songbird experiences from Canadian nesting grounds and Mexican wintering grounds to this deeply researched, engaging portrait of a uniquely fascinating woman.

From a longtime Vanity Fair writer and editor, a delightfully entertaining, intelligent, and illuminating history and tribute to teen movies—from Rebel Without a Cause to Fast Times at Ridgemont High, and on to John Hughes, Mean Girls, The Hunger Games, and more. What influence did Francis Ford Coppola have on George Lucas’s American Graffiti? And Lucas on John Singleton’s Boyz n the Hood? How does teenage sexuality in Fast Times at Ridgemont High compare to Twilight? Which teen movies pass the Bechdel test? Why is Mean Girls actually the last great teen film of the 20th century? In the same way that Peter Biskind’s Easy Riders, Raging Bulls connects the films of the 1970s to the period’s cultural upheaval, and David Hadju’s Positively 4th Street tells the story of the sixties through the emergence of folk music, Bruce Handy’s Hollywood High situates iconic teen movies within their times and reveals the intriguing stories, artists, and passions behind their creation. These films aren’t merely beloved stories; they reflect teens’ growing economic and cultural influence, societal panics, and shifting perceptions of youth in America. Much more than a nostalgia trip, Hollywood High is a lively, provocative, and affectionate cultural history, spanning nearly one hundred years. Handy, an acclaimed journalist and critic who spent two decades at Vanity Fair, examines the defining films of each generation and builds connections between them. From the Andy Hardy classics (1937–1946) to the iconic Rebel Without a Cause (1955); Beach Party series (1963–1968); American Graffiti (1973); Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982); the John Hughes touchstones Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1984–1986); Boyz N the Hood (1991); Mean Girls (2004); the Twilight saga (2008–2012); and The Hunger Games series (2012–2015); this is a captivating deep dive into the world of teen movies that captures their sweeping history and influence. We’ll hear from icons James Dean, Annette Funicello, George Lucas, Amy Heckerling, John Hughes, Molly Ringwald, John Singleton, Tina Fey, and Kristen Stewart, and discover why the most timeless teen movies resonate across generations.

"Enki and the World Order," a Sumerian myth from the early second millennium BCE, depicts the god Enki's reconstitution of the Sumerian world after an unspecified catastrophe. The myth ends with a face-off between Enki and the goddess of love and war, Inana, who is dissatisfied with Enki's allotment of functions to the other goddesses. This volume presents a critical edition of the 472-line Sumerian text, with introduction, translation and commentary, based on 25 published and unpublished manuscripts, mostly from Nippur in what is now southern Iraq. All the manuscripts, with one exception, have been collated, and there are many new fragments and joins to previously known tablets.

Stanford Lehmberg, a noted authority on the Tudor period, examines the impact of the Reformation on the cathedrals of England and Wales. Based largely on manuscript materials from the cathedral archives themselves, this book is the first attempt to draw together information for all twenty-nine of the cathedrals that existed in the Tudor period. The author scrutinizes the major changes that took place during this era in the institutional structure, personnel, endowments, liturgy, and music of the cathedral and shows how the cathedrals, unlike the monasteries that were dissolved by Henry VIII, succeeded in adapting successfully to the Reformation. Forty-two illustrations depict sixteenth-century changes in cathedral buildings. Narrative chapters trace the changes that occurred during the reigns of Henry VIII, Edward VI, "Bloody" Mary, and Elizabeth I. Analytical sections are devoted to cathedral finance and cathedral music. The changing lives of cathedral musicians are described in some detail, and even greater attention is paid to the cathedral clergy, whose living conditions changed markedly when they were allowed to marry. Using a variety of sources, including such physical remains as tombs and monuments, the concluding chapter discusses the role of cathedrals in English society. Originally published in 1989.

For readers of Fantasyland and Cultish, a colorful and enlightening pop history that explains why the eccentric doomsday beliefs of our Puritan founders are still driving American culture today, contextualizes the current rise in far-right extremism as a natural result of our latent indoctrination, and proposes that the United States is the largest cult of all. Since the Mayflower sidled up to Plymouth Rock, cult ideology has been ingrained in the DNA of the United States. In this eye-opening book, journalist Jane Borden argues that Puritan doomsday belief never went away; it went secular and became American culture. From our fascination with cowboys and superheroes to our allegiance to influencers and self-help, susceptibility to advertising, and undying devotion to the self-made man, Americans remain particularly vulnerable to a specific brand of cult-like thinking. With in-depth research and compelling insight, Borden uncovers the American history you didn’t learn in school, including how we are still being brainwashed, making us a nation of easy marks for con artists and strong men. Along the way, she also revisits some of the most fascinating cults in this country—including, the Mankind United and Love Has Won—presenting them as integral parts of our national psyche rather than aberrations.

In contrast to every other book about the conflict Andrew Lambert's ground-breaking study The Crimean War: British Grand Strategy against Russia, 1853-1856 is neither an operational history of the armies in the Crimea, nor a study of the diplomacy of the conflict. The core concern is with grand strategy, the development and implementation of national policy and strategy. The key concepts are strategic, derived from the works of Carl von Clausewitz and Sir Julian Corbett, and the main focus is on naval, not military operations. This original approach rejected the 'Continentalist' orthodoxy that dominated contemporary writing about the history of war, reflecting an era when British security policy was dominated by Inner German Frontier, the British Army of the Rhine and Air Force Germany. Originally published in 1990 the book appeared just as the Cold War ended; the strategic landscape for Britain began shifting away from the continent, and new commitments were emerging that heralded a return to maritime strategy, as adumbrated in the defence policy papers of the 1990s. With a new introduction that contextualises the 1990 text and situates it in the developing historiography of the Crimean War the new edition makes this essential book available to a new generation of scholars.

In 2010 allegations of an utterly corrupt academic system for student-athletes emerged from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill campus, home of the legendary Tar Heels. As the alma mater of Michael Jordan, Larry Brown, Marion Jones, Lawrence Taylor, Rashad McCants, and many others; winner of forty national championships in six different sports; and a partner in one of the best rivalries in sports, UNC-Chapel Hill is a world-famous colossus of college athletics. In the wake of the Wainstein report, however, the fallout from this scandal--and the continuing spotlight on the failings of college athletics--has made the school ground zero in the debate about how the $16 billion college sports industry operates. Written by UNC professor of history Jay Smith and UNC athletics department whistleblower Mary Willingham, Cheated exposes the fraudulent inner workings of this famous university. For decades these internal systems have allowed woefully underprepared basketball and football players to take fake courses and earn devalued degrees from one of the nation's top universities while faculty and administrators looked the other way. In unbiased and carefully sourced detail, Cheated recounts the academic fraud in UNC's athletics department, even as university leaders focused on minimizing the damage in order to keep the billion-dollar college sports revenue machine functioning. Smith and Willingham make an impassioned argument that the "student-athletes" in these programs are being cheated out of what, after all, is promised them in the first place: a college education.

The Oxford History of the United States is by far the most respected multi-volume history of our nation. In this Pulitzer prize-winning, critically acclaimed addition to the series, historian Daniel Walker Howe illuminates the period from the battle of New Orleans to the end of the Mexican-American War, an era when the United States expanded to the Pacific and won control over the richest part of the North American continent. A panoramic narrative, What Hath God Wrought portrays revolutionary improvements in transportation and communications that accelerated the extension of the American empire. Railroads, canals, newspapers, and the telegraph dramatically lowered travel times and spurred the spread of information. These innovations prompted the emergence of mass political parties and stimulated America's economic development from an overwhelmingly rural country to a diversified economy in which commerce and industry took their place alongside agriculture. In his story, the author weaves together political and military events with social, economic, and cultural history. Howe examines the rise of Andrew Jackson and his Democratic party, but contends that John Quincy Adams and other Whigs--advocates of public education and economic integration, defenders of the rights of Indians, women, and African-Americans--were the true prophets of America's future. In addition, Howe reveals the power of religion to shape many aspects of American life during this period, including slavery and antislavery, women's rights and other reform movements, politics, education, and literature. Howe's story of American expansion culminates in the bitterly controversial but brilliantly executed war waged against Mexico to gain California and Texas for the United States.

This scientific biography of the mathematician Joseph Liouville is divided into two parts. The first part is a chronological account of Liouville's career including a description of the institutions he worked in, his relations with his teachers, colleagues and students, and the historical context of his works. It portrays the French scientific community in a period when Germany and England had surpassed France as the leading nations in mathematics and physics. The second part of the book gives a detailed analysis of Liouville's major contributions to mathematics and mechanics. The gradual development of Liouville's ideas, as reflected in his publications and notebooks, are related to the works of his predecessors and his contemporaries as well as to later developments in the field. On the basis of Liouville's unpublished notes the book reconstructs Liouville's hitherto unknown theories of stability of rotating masses of fluid, potential theory, Galois theory and electrodynamics. It also incorporates valuable added information from Liouville's notes regarding his works on differentiation of arbitrary order, integration in finite terms, Sturm-Liouville theory, transcendental numbers, doubly periodic functions, geometry and mechanics.

¿Fue la Revolución Francesa el mito fundacional del mundo contemporáneo? ¿Recogía en su espíritu todo lo bueno y noble que habita en el alma humana? ¿Representaba el bien absoluto y cualquier cosa que se alejara de ella era el mal? Pocos acontecimientos históricos son tan conocidos como la Revolución Francesa, y, al mismo tiempo, tan poco entendidos. La historia se aceleró en Francia durante la última década del siglo XVIII y sus consecuencias no tardaron en afectar a todo el mundo gracias a Napoleón Bonaparte, el más ilustre de los hijos de la revolución. Los dos siglos posteriores son inexplicables sin esta convulsión que encontró infinidad de imitadores en todas las latitudes. Fernando Díaz Villanueva y Alberto Garín diseccionan en este libro la historia de este momento histórico excepcional en todas sus vertientes para desmontar, con precisión y afilada crítica, los mitos e ideas que han perdurado hasta nuestros días.

La evolución histórica de la guerra, y de sus protagonistas, los soldados,ha sido estudiada tradicionalmente a través de dos ejes: el relativo a los sucesos y personajes de la historia y el militar. En esta obra, apoyado en un espectacular material gráfico, el coronel José Manuel Fernández López, experto en cine bélico, propone analizarla desde otro punto de vista, el cinematográfico. El Cine, en su corta existencia de poco más de cien años, ha sido capaz de plasmar las guerras y conflictos que han sacudido el mundo desde la Antigüedad hasta bien entrado el siglo XXI y, gracias a ello, ha conseguido forjar algunas de sus películas más brillantes. Todo tipo de enfrentamientos: mundiales, civiles, coloniales o fronterizos, han quedado inmortalizados en el celuloide como exponente de la condición humana. En definitiva, el lector encontrará, junto a casi 400 imágenes, un ameno repaso a la historia desde la perspectiva del cine bélico. Desde el Antiguo Egipto hasta los últimos conflictos del actual siglo. Además, se dedica un interesante epílogo a analizar el fenómeno de las series de televisión.

A military study of the 2020 war between Armenia and Azerbaijan—the first war in history won primarily by unmanned systems. Fought over the course of forty-four days, the Second Nagorno-Karabakh war resulted in a decisive military victory for Azerbaijan. Armenia lost even though they controlled the high ground in a mountainous region that favored traditional defense. In 7 Seconds to Die, military consultant and historian John Antal examines the decisive factors of the war and their implications for the future of armed conflict. The fact that Azerbaijan won the war is not extraordinary, considering the correlation of forces arrayed against Armenia. What is exceptional is that this was the first modern war primarily decided by unmanned weapons. The Turkish-made BAYRAKTAR TB2 Unmanned Air Combat Vehicle (UCAV) and the Israeli-made HAROP Loitering Munition (LM) dominated the fighting and provided Azerbaijan with a war-winning advantage.

Servant of Beauty: Landmarks, Love, and the Unimagined Life of an Unsung New York Hero is the true story of the interplay between the two all-consuming passions of this unheralded civic champion: his love of beauty in the public realm that would forever change New York City, and his love for a younger man that would forever change Bard. Albert Sprague Bard (1866-1963) fought for cities to have the right to protect their beauty, propelling him into a David versus Goliath combat with Robert Moses and paving the way, after four decades of advocacy, for New York City's Landmarks Law (1965). Today the law protects over 37,000 buildings, mostly in historic neighborhoods, and it has inspired cities across the nation. Bard was delighted and disappointed by his two enduring loves: one for a troubled younger man, the other for the beauty of New York City. Persevering against the odds, resilient in the face of disappointment, and a man who became embroiled in a spy scandal at the same time as he served as a stand-in father to three, Bard is an uncelebrated renaissance man and civic hero whose story will inspire and inform generations of citizens who continue his battle to preserve the beauty of the places they love.

A dazzling piece of narrative nonfiction about land lust and the American West, The Crazies tells the story of a wind farm that triggers a 21st century range war between a struggling fifth-generation rancher and the billionaires next door. Most locals in Big Timber, Montana learn to live with the wind. Rick Jarrett sought his fortune in it. Like his pioneer ancestors who staked their claims in the Treasure State, he believed in his right to make a living off the land—and its newest precious resource, million-dollar wind. Trouble was, Jarrett’s neighbors were some of the wealthiest and most influential men in America, trophy ranchers who’d come West to enjoy magnificent mountain views, not stare at 500-foot wind turbines. And so began an epic showdown that would pull in an ever-widening cast of larger-than-life characters, including a Texas oil and gas tycoon, a roguish wind prospector, a Crow activist fighting for his tribe’s rights to the mountains they hold sacred, and an Olympic athlete-turned-attorney whose path to redemption would lead to Jarrett’s wind farm. A wildly entertaining yarn, the brawl over Crazy Mountain Wind would become a fight over the values that define us as Americans—and a window into how this country actually works. All the while, the most coveted rangeland in the West was being threatened by forces more powerful than anything one man could muster: dwindling snowpack, record drought, raging wildfires. The Crazies is a Western for a warming planet, full of cowboys and billionaires and billionaire cowboys. But it’s also so much more. It’s an exquisitely reported, ruggedly beautiful elegy for a vanishing way of life and a bighearted inquiry into how you can love a place so much you risk destroying it.

Roughly 200 million today, Indian Muslims are greater than the population of Britain and France or Germany put together. According to the Indian Constitution, Indian Muslims are treated as political equals, which is what India’s secular polity promised after its independence, encouraging more than 35 million Indian Muslims at the time of Partition to choose India as their motherland over Pakistan. However, the supposed relationship of equality between Hindus and Muslims as scripted in the constitution is being increasingly replaced by the domineering tendencies of a Hindu majority in India today. The author describes the current state and position of Indian Muslims (the seeds for which were sown when the BJP came to power in 2014) as the thirdpolitical moment; the second he believes was in 1947 when the community was given equal status in the Indian Constitution; and the first, was in 1857 when Indian Muslims learnt to live under the British colonial state. As he states, there is no denying that political circumstances for Indian Muslims were not completely ideal or full of democratic energy prior to the rise of the Hindu Right since the late 1980s. With numerous layers defined by language, ethnicity, region, etc., Muslims have the most heterogeneous identity, representing India’s quintessential diversity. And yet, Muslims are perceived as the most enduring well-grounded threat to the majoritarian project of the Hindu Rashtra. Indian Muslims are perceived or presented as perpetrators of violence and violators of law, even if they are at the receiving end. They are viewed as an internal enemy, who need to be dealt with for political, social, historical, and ideological reasons. Going forward, the community must formulate the language of democratic rights of Indian Muslims as equal citizens and define the ethics of human dignity in their struggle to reassert their place in India’s political power structures at all levels: from panchayat to Parliament. While the economic future or cultural rights of Indian Muslims have been debated since 1947, it is the political future that demands attention because only as an equal and participatory community in the politics of the nation, can economic and cultural futures be addressed. This book explores the political future of Indian Muslims in this context. From Shaheen Bagh to Hindu-Muslim riots, from the unique position of Muslim women in India to the Sachar Report and the Muslim backwardness debate, Mujibur Rehman analyses, confronts and discusses the urgent concerns of Indian Muslims in a manner that is nuanced and globally relevant.

En octubre de 1830, Richard Ford llegó a Sevilla con su familia y fijó su residencia allí durante más de tres años. En ese tiempo, recorrió gran parte del país a caballo o en diligencia, tomando nota de todo lo que veía y oía en una serie de cuadernos que llenó con descripciones de los monumentos y obras de arte que más le habían llamado la atención. A partir de estas notas, publicó en 1845 "A Handbook for Travellers in Spain", que despertó de inmediato una sensación en su país. En el 150 aniversario de la muerte de Richard Ford, se recupera para la Biblioteca Turner el texto original, traducido por el escritor Jesús Pardo. El primer volumen se completa con introducción de Ian Robertson, biógrafo de Richard Ford y con una emotiva rememoración del personaje a cargo de su cuadrinieta Lily Ford.

Silicon Valley veterans and newbies alike will want to explore this book that delves into the rich history behind the region that birthed the world's most important industry. Technology journalist Ashlee Vance has captured almost every aspect of the area stretching between San Francisco and San Jose, California, starting with the eager radio and electronics enthusiasts of the early 1900s and ending with the computing powerhouses of today such as Google and Apple. Along the way, the book profiles the people and places that have elevated Silicon Valley to an almost mythic pedestal. This book delivers Silicon Valley, taking us from success story to failed startup and back again as we drive the roads from San Francisco to Menlo Park, Palo Alto, Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara and San Jose. It's full of profiles of the larger-than-life characters that pioneered the processor, computer, and Internet revolutions. The book's vibrant design includes "Silicon Valley Soundbytes" packed with insider information and trivia, and "Click Here" sidebars, which suggest places to eat, drink, and shop. Place by place, readers get the inside scoop on all the addresses that count, which include Microsoft research centers; the headquarters of Google, Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Sun Microsystems, and Oracle; research powerhouses such as Stanford University, NASA Ames, and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory; the Computer History Museum and The Tech Museum; the Shoreline Amphitheater; the Churchill Club; and many more.

This special edition of the Journal of Artistic and Creative Education (JACE) brings together authors from across Australia discussing issues central to the ongoing development and importance of education within museums. What are the distinctive characteristics and significance of museum education? How does learning occur in museums and what does it look like? Who is engaged in museum education and where does it take place? What are some of the benefits of museum education? This edition explores these broad questions through nine articles that individually address the role of museum learning as providing a transformative experience in a rich, ‘hands-on’ and diverse environment. The authors present a wide array of case studies and examples from their institutions and their research, providing practical and invigorating discussions on the purpose, pedagogy and practice of museum education. At a time when there are significant cuts being made to education budgets in Australia, thereby often limiting excursions to museums and other cultural sites, it seems timely to publish a special edition that sheds light on the power of learning in museums and to make a case for museum learning. Moreover, museums are already producing effective learning experi-ences that are highly appreciated by their users, and these deserve to be celebrated. This celebration will hopefully lead to increased appreciation and understanding of the educational possibilities in museums and galleries, of why professionals have chosen to work in particular ways and the outcomes of their work.

Jimmy is a stereotypical geek who works at the library in Oakland, California, and is trapped in his own torpidity. Sara is his best friend, but she wants to get a life (translation: an apartment in Brooklyn and a publishing internship). When Sara moves to New York City, Jimmy is rattled. Then lonely. Then desperate. He screws up his courage, writes Sara a letter about his true feelings, and asks her to meet him at the top of the Empire State Building (a nod to their ongoing debate about Sleepless in Seattle). Jimmy's cross-country bus trip to Manhattan is as hapless and funny as Jimmy himself. When he arrives in the city he's thought of as "a festering hellhole," he's surprised by how exciting he finds New York, and how heartbreaking—he discovers Sara has a boyfriend! Jason Shiga's bold visual storytelling, sly pokes at popular culture, and subtle text work together seamlessly in Empire State, creating a quirky graphic novel comedy about the vagaries of love and friendship. Praise for Empire State: "He [Shiga] displays a wicked sense of comic timing." -Publishers Weekly "Empire State: A Love Story (Or Not) is funny, sweet, geeky and affecting, and definitely worth a read." -Wired.com "Shiga's illustrations . . . are unique and endearing, and his images of NYC are instantly recognizable." -am New York "If Woody Allen grew up in Oakland rather than Manhattan, he'd most likely see the world, and especially New York City, as Jason Shiga does in Empire State." -Big Think.com

Transnational East Asian Studies demonstrates how transnationalism as a mode of intellectual enquiry has wide-ranging interdisciplinary potential and has immense value when examining the past, just as much as much as when examining the present. Artificially erected borders, which appear on maps and globes, fail to consider the ways people in diverse regions live and practice their everyday lives, existing beyond boundaries. The people of East Asia have always been on the move, they have never been homogeneous, and have evolved together, not apart. In this sense, people around the globe and also in East Asia have always been involved in a process of change and transformation. Hence, transnationalism is a way to overcome methodological nationalism, not only as a concept of identity and spatiality, but also as a concept temporally situated in the modern, because as a methodology, transnationalism does not take the national as a precondition. It allows us to move beyond and across borders, and to examine how ideas have been used and transformed in different contexts. This book thus underscores the complex interactions in the context of East Asia, past and present, while shaping the future of this complicated region.

This is the enlarged edition published almost 30 years after the first 1924 publication and contains the additional section, “Thirty Years After,” in which the author describes how the Revolution that has since come of age has turned out to be simultaneously “a gigantic success and a colossal failure.” A fascinating read.

This is a book about a voyage. Not just any trip across any ocean, but a battle against the Southern Ocean, the Antarctic pack ice and the fury of hurricane force blizzards. When Ben Tucker set off from Tasmania in his small home-built steel yacht, he set himself a tentative goal of reaching mainland East Antarctica. As crew he had his youngest brother and the last minute inclusion of his father as cabin-boy (on a promise of good behaviour). The destination was the remote Cape Denison – statistically the windiest place on the planet. More than a travel tale, this is the introspective journey of a father who has consciously surrendered responsibility to his children. Woven through the passage is an inter-generational theme, humour and a recognition of shared adulthood with a link between past, present and future.

Indonesia is the world’s largest archipelago, encompassing nearly eighteen thousand islands. The fourth-most populous nation in the world, it has a larger Muslim population than any other. The Indonesia Reader is a unique introduction to this extraordinary country. Assembled for the traveler, student, and expert alike, the Reader includes more than 150 selections: journalists’ articles, explorers’ chronicles, photographs, poetry, stories, cartoons, drawings, letters, speeches, and more. Many pieces are by Indonesians; some are translated into English for the first time. All have introductions by the volume’s editors. Well-known figures such as Indonesia’s acclaimed novelist Pramoedya Ananta Toer and the American anthropologist Clifford Geertz are featured alongside other artists and scholars, as well as politicians, revolutionaries, colonists, scientists, and activists. Organized chronologically, the volume addresses early Indonesian civilizations; contact with traders from India, China, and the Arab Middle East; and the European colonization of Indonesia, which culminated in centuries of Dutch rule. Selections offer insight into Japan’s occupation (1942–45), the establishment of an independent Indonesia, and the post-independence era, from Sukarno’s presidency (1945–67), through Suharto’s dictatorial regime (1967–98), to the present Reformasi period. Themes of resistance and activism recur: in a book excerpt decrying the exploitation of Java’s natural wealth by the Dutch; in the writing of Raden Ajeng Kartini (1879–1904), a Javanese princess considered the icon of Indonesian feminism; in a 1978 statement from East Timor objecting to annexation by Indonesia; and in an essay by the founder of Indonesia’s first gay activist group. From fifth-century Sanskrit inscriptions in stone to selections related to the 2002 Bali bombings and the 2004 tsunami, The Indonesia Reader conveys the long history and the cultural, ethnic, and ecological diversity of this far-flung archipelago nation.

Contemporary Japanese Architecture presents a clear and comprehensive overview of the historical and cultural framework that informs the work of all Japanese architects, as an introduction to an in-depth investigation of the challenges now occupying the contemporary designers who will be the leaders of the next generation. It separates out the young generation of Japanese architects from the crowded, distinguished, multi-generational field they seek to join, and investigates the topics that absorb them, and the critical issues they face within the new economic reality of Japan and a shifting global order. Salient points in the text are illustrated by beautiful, descriptive images provided by the architects and from the extensive collection of the author. By combining illustrations with timelines and graphics to explain complex ideas, the book is accessible to any student seeking to understand contemporary Japanese architecture.

This inspiring book tells the story of a photographer's journey to find the mysterious black leopard. There are few creatures as gorgeous and elusive as the black leopard. In Africa, these magnificent cats are so rare as to be the stuff of legend. Will Burrard-Lucas's love for leopards began during his childhood in Tanzania and propelled him into a career as a wildlife photographer. In his quest to create intimate portraits of animals, he developed innovative technology, including a remotely controlled camera buggy and a high quality camera trap system for photographing nocturnal creatures. Then, one day in 2018, he heard about sightings of a young African black leopard in Kenya and with the help of people from the local community, he succeeded in capturing a series of high-quality photographs of the elusive cat. In this compelling and visually stunning book, Burrard-Lucas tells his story of creativity, entrepreneurship, and passion for wild animals, alongside awe-inspiring images of lions, elephants, and the black leopard itself. • STAR WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHER: Will Burrard-Lucas's passion for nature and expertise in camera technology have earned him coverage from National Geographic, The New York Times, and the BBC—and over 1 million fans enjoy his breathtaking work online. • NATURE'S HIDDEN WONDERS: Black leopards are individual animals in whom a gene mutation results in excess melanin and an elegant black coat. Most are found in Southeast Asia, where lush vegetation offers them camouflage. In the semiarid shrub lands of Africa, black leopards are extraordinarily rare. Burrard-Lucas's images—showing these beautiful creatures prowling their territory under cover of night—are vivid reminders of nature's hidden wonders. • INCREDIBLE STORY: This is an adventure story that takes place in remote and wild corners of Africa. It reveals Burrard-Lucas's devotion, vision, and innovation that led to him capturing photos that are not only incredibly rare, but also breathtakingly beautiful. Perfect for: • Aspiring and professional photographers • Photography buffs • Nature and animal lovers • Big cat enthusiasts • Conservationists • National Geographic readers • Fans of memoir and adventure stories • Travelers to Eastern and Southern Africa

Sailing by Starlight is the story of the adventure of a lifetime—in fact, of many lifetimes. In the early 1980s, retired geography professor Marvin Creamer set out to do what hadn’t been done for a thousand years—if indeed it had ever been done at all: Marv and his crew boarded a 35’ sailboat named Globe Star and set out into the frigid Atlantic, planning to sail around the world without the use of any instruments. There was no sextant aboard. No compass. No chart-plotter. No GPS. No radar. Not even a stopwatch. Creamer wanted to prove to the world that it was possible for ancient mariners to have crossed the largest seas, perhaps even sailed around the world, using only their brains, their experience, their sense, and their courage. In attempting to prove his point, Creamer would push his boat and his crew to the limit—and occasionally beyond. Travel with Creamer as Globe Star sails around the perilous Horn, across the dangerous and tumultuous Tasman Sea, and into an active war zone. Sail around the world with a man who was taken prisoner by an idea, a man obsessed with proving a point, and who would let neither 40-foot waves nor fractious crewmembers deter him.

WINNER OF THE 2017 NASW SCIENCE IN SOCIETY JOURNALISM AWARD A FINALIST FOR THE 2017 PEN/E. O. WILSON LITERARY SCIENCE WRITING AWARD LONGLISTED FOR THE ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL FOR EXCELLENCE A LIBRARY JOURNAL BEST SCIENCE BOOK OF THE YEAR “[A] curiously edifying book.” —The New York Times Book Review “With the taut suspense of a spy novel, Voigt paints a vivid world of murder, black market deals, and habitat destruction surrounding a fish that's considered, ironically, to be a good-luck charm.” —Discover “[An] immensely satisfying story, full of surprises and suspense....Things get weird fast.” —The Wall Street Journal An intrepid journalist’s quest to find a wild Asian arowana—the world’s most expensive aquarium fish—takes her on a global tour in this “engaging tale of obsession and perseverance…and an enthralling look at the intersection of science, commercialism, and conservationism” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). A young man is murdered for his pet fish. An Asian tycoon buys a single specimen for $150,000. Meanwhile, a pet detective chases smugglers through the streets of New York. With “the taut suspense of a spy novel” (Discover) The Dragon Behind the Glass tells the story of a fish like none other. Treasured as a status symbol believed to bring good luck, the Asian arowana, or “dragon fish,” is a dramatic example of a modern paradox: the mass-produced endangered species. While hundreds of thousands are bred in captivity, the wild fish as become a near-mythical creature. From the South Bronx to Borneo and beyond, journalist Emily Voigt follows the trail of the arowana to learn its fate in nature. “A fresh, lively look at an obsessive desire to own a piece of the wild” (Kirkus Reviews), The Dragon Behind the Glass traces our fascination with aquarium fish back to the era of exploration when naturalists stood on the cutting edge of modern science. In an age when freshwater fish now comprise one of the most rapidly vanishing groups of animals, Voigt unearths a surprising truth behind the arowana’s rise to fame—one that calls into question how we protect the world’s rarest species. “Not since Candace Millard published The River of Doubt has the world of the Amazon, Borneo, Myanmar, and other exotic locations been so colorfully portrayed as it is now in Emily Voigt’s The Dragon Behind the Glass…a must-read” (Library Journal, starred review).

Reisererzählungen einer Rucksacktour von Leipzig durch Osteuropa bis in die Mongolei In diesem Buch zur erfolgreichen MDR TV-Serie "Ostwärts" erzählt die gewitzte Journalistin Julia Finkernagel launig und geistreich von ihrer ganz persönlichen Premiere als "Go East"-Travellerin, den sehr speziellen Reise-Highlights und kleineren und größeren Katastrophen auf der Tour von Leipzig bis tief in die Mongolei. Auch die witzigen Ungeheuerlichkeiten, die es niemals in die TV-Version schafften, werden in den ebenso scharfsinnigen wie humorvollen Travel-Episoden nicht verschwiegen! Ein Blick hinter die Kulissen der TV-Serie "Ostwärts" Entgegen anderer Annahmen reiste Julia Finkernagel nicht mit einem großen Fernseh-Team, sondern allein mit einem Kameramann und einem Träger und bestritt die Reise mit kleinem Budget. Dass dabei viel improvisiert werden musste, sorgt in den kurzweiligen Reiseberichten für die allerbesten Pointen, und vieles von dem, was hinter den Kulissen passierte, findet der Leser im Buch. Eine Rucksackreise durch elf Länder und Regionen In rund 25 kurzen Travel-Episoden geht die Reise ab Leipzig durch Polen, Slowakei, Ungarn, Rumänien, Bulgarien und über Georgien, Südrussland und den Kaukasus, Kirgistan, Tadschikistan und Usbekistan bis in die Mongolei. Julia erklärt, wie man in Usbekistan Suppe mit den Händen isst, ohne sich danach umziehen zu müssen und erzählt von der mongolischen Familie, die dem Drehteam als Zeichen der Freundschaft einen frisch geschlachteten Ziegenkopf in den Fußraum stellt. Sie berichtet, wie sie sich in der Slowakei auf der Burg der Blutgräfin gruselte, in Russland im Gefängnis landete und erklärt, warum in Kirgistan der Tee dreimal zurück in die Kanne gegossen wird. Ausgespart wird auch nicht, dass sie in Rumänien tatsächlich Peter Maffay begegnet ist.

O tom, že Finsko je zemí tisíců jezer, Santa Clause a ne zrovna příznivého klimatu, slyšel snad každý. Ale víte, proč si Finové pletou běžkování a lyžování? Nebo že si můžete přivolat finského peněžního skřítka? Jak probíhá saunový teambuilding? Kolik odrazek je už moc i na Fina? A v čem jsou si tak podobní s Japonci? O tom všem a všeličem jiném se dočtete v knize Michaely Ahonen, Slovenky, která se přestěhovala do temného a studeného Finska, země mlčenlivých lidí, prohibice, mýtů a legend, zateplených šusťáků, lesů bohatých na houby a borůvky – a manželova rodiště. Své zážitky ze života v tomto severském státě autorka vypráví stylem jí vlastním, připojuje mnoho kuriózních a vtipných postřehů, cenných rad, a prozradí i nějaké ty místní vychytávky, které si oblíbíte možná i vy. Dozvíte se tak víc o rodinném životě ve Finsku, o Kalevale, všemocných haalari, finském designu, finštině a samozřejmě o saunování a (ne)chutném finském jídle. A určitě se naučíte i trošku finsky. Tak vzhůru na zasněžený sever!

This book is made up of twenty-three stories, each from a different author from across the globe. All belong to one world, united in their diversity and ethnicity. And together they have one aim: to involve and move the reader. The range of authors takes in such literary greats as Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Jhumpa Lahiri, and emerging authors such as Elaine Chiew, Petina Gappah, and Henrietta Rose-Innes. The members of the collective are: Elaine Chiew (Malaysia) Molara Wood (Nigeria) Jhumpa Lahiri (United States) Martin A Ramos (Puerto Rico) Lauri Kubutsile (Botswana) Chika Unigwe (Nigeria) Ravi Mangla (United States) Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (Nigeria) Skye Brannon (United States) Jude Dibia (Nigeria) Shabnam Nadiya (Bangladesh) Petina Gappah (Zimbabwe) Ivan Gabirel Reborek (Australia) Vanessa Gebbie (Britain) Emmanual Dipita Kwa (Cameroon) Henrietta Rose-Innes (South Africa) Lucinda Nelson Dhavan (India) Adetokunbo Abiola (Nigeria) Wadzanai Mhute (Zimbabwe) Konstantinos Tzikas (Greece) Ken Kamoche (Kenya) Sequoia Nagamatsu (United States) Ovo Adagha (Nigeria) From the Introduction: The concept of One World is often a multi-colored tapestry into which sundry, if not contending patterns can be woven. for those of us who worked on this project, ‘One World’ goes beyond the everyday notion of the globe as a physical geographic entity. Rather, we understand it as a universal idea, one that transcends national boundaries to comment on the most prevailing aspects of the human condition. This attempt to redefine the borders of the world we live in through the short story recognizes the many conflicting issues of race, language, economy, gender and ethnicity, which separate and limit us. We readily acknowledge, however, that regardless of our differences or the disparities in our stories, we are united by our humanity. We invite the reader on a personal journey across continents, countries, cultures and landscapes, to reflect on these beautiful, at times chaotic, renditions on the human experience. We hope the reach of this path will transcend the borders of each story, and perhaps function as an agent of change. Welcome to our world.

The incredible true story of a 100,000-mile motorcycle world record attempt where the only thing that didn't break was their spirit. In the spring of 2022, renowned long distance motorcycle riders Wendy Crockett and Ian McPhee set out to execute their meticulously planned World Record ride attempt. The premise was simple enough: Visit every Australian state in alphabetical order, documenting each visit by photographing the state’s capitol building. The approach would then be replicated in the United States, visiting a grand total of 58 capitols on an epic road trip adventure spanning two continents and three countries. Reality hit hard with the revelation that absolutely nothing about this undertaking was destined to go smoothly. Yet even in the face of unfathomable adversity, including breakdowns, illness, animals strikes, historic weather events, and multiple hospitalizations, this tenacious duo refused to abandon their quest. Fueled by boundless optimism and unrelenting determination, Pushing Miles is a brutally honest and surprisingly humorous look at what it takes to make an uphill ride into endurance motorcycling history.

New York Times bestseller: “A coast-to-coast journey by way of great rivers, conducted by a contemporary master of travel writing” (Kirkus Reviews). In this memoir brimming with history, humor, and wisdom, the author of Blue Highways and PrairyErth “voyages across the country, from Atlantic to Pacific, almost entirely by its rivers, lakes and canals in a small outboard-powered boat” (San Francisco Chronicle). Setting off from New York Harbor aboard the boat he named Nikawa (“river horse” in Osage), in hopes of entering the Pacific near Astoria, Oregon, William Least Heat-Moon and his companion, Pilotis, struggle to cover some five thousand watery miles—more than any other cross-country river traveler has ever managed—often following in the wakes of our most famous explorers, from Henry Hudson to Lewis and Clark. En route, the voyagers confront massive floods, submerged rocks, dangerous weather, and their own doubts about whether they can complete the trip. But the hard days yield incomparable pleasures: strangers generous with help and eccentric tales, landscapes unchanged since Sacagawea saw them, riverscapes flowing with a lively past, and the growing belief that efforts to protect our lands and waters are beginning to pay off. “Fizzes with intelligence and high spirits.” —Outside “Propels the reader with historical vignettes, ecological and geological detail, and often hilarious encounters with local eccentrics.” —Time

Should Liv take herself out of the friend zone, or are they better off there? Liv Granger has been flailing through life since her teens. When her brother, Joe, announces his engagement to his long-term boyfriend, Liv realises that she has never been able to commit to anything – a career, a fixed address, a relationship – and she may, in fact, be a massive loser. With the help of Joe and Henry, her oldest friend, Liv comes up with the Loser List: ten tasks to change her life. The most challenging – three dates with the same person. After each increasingly disastrous date, Henry is always there to the rescue. Has what she’s been looking for been right in front of her the whole time? Between restraining her mother’s wedding planning and doing everything in her power to not be her father’s wingman for his various short-lived girlfriends, Liv learns that the path to self-improvement needs to start with a little self-acceptance...

Ethan Torrini always knew where his life would lead, but doesn’t know if he wants to end up there. Needing an escape from a stagnant year before re-applying to law schools, Ethan follows his lifelong friend Ken to the small town of Chanthaburi, Thailand, to assist with his online gem selling business and find freedom from the inevitable march to forever. An artist at heart, Ethan is drawn to Chanthaburi’s many beauties, from the river that meanders through town to the glimmering gemstones in the nearby market and to a local woman with coconut-scented hair. For the first time, anything feels possible. Yet as a farang in a town of few foreigners, Ethan can’t comprehend the impact of his every action. A drive through town, a friendly drink with a rival seller, a dinner with a visiting English tutor, a simple pencil sketch … all have consequences that reach beyond Ethan and into the cultural, familial, traditional and financial obligations that dictate the lives around him. Even halfway around the world, there is no such thing as escape.

Roads are for journeys, not destinations. In 2003 Melbourne couple Shirley Hardy-Rix and her husband Brian Rix fulfilled a lifelong ambition of motorcycling across the world. In an incredible 350-day journey, they would do everything they'd ever dreamed of as well as getting much more than they'd bargained for. Crossing 27 countries and covering 56,671 kilometres, they raced around the Isle of Man motorcycle circuit on Mad Sunday, survived Iran's traffic and travelled through Taliban strongholds under armed guard. Shirley and Brian's story is an epic account of the ups and downs of seeing the world on two wheels - from the frustrations of potholes and flat tyres, to the splendour of some of Europe and Asia's most awe-inspiring sights. Full of terrific anecdotes, down-to-earth humour and practical advice, Two for the Road is a must for anyone who's ever imagined escaping the daily grind to experience the romance of the open road.

This accessible book introduces students to the theories, concepts and skills required to promote an event successfully. To promote an event effectively it is essential to understand marketing, but it is also important to recognise that it is not just consumers who are the audience: other publics who may not necessarily attend can have a fundamental effect on the success of an event as well. Uniquely therefore, this book covers two related themes: marketing and public relations in an events context. This will offer events planners a comprehensive guide on how to promote events to a range of audiences, and on how to use this to manage an event’s long-term reputation. The book focuses on core marketing and PR current theory specifically relevant to the events industry and introduces topics such as marketing strategy, the consumer, marketing PR and how to use the internet to promote events. It integrates a range of international case studies from small-scale events to mega-events to help show how theory can be applied in practice. It further includes inserts of interviews with practitioners in the field, to offer insight into the realities of event communication and to show how to overcome potential pitfalls. Learning outcomes, discussion questions and further reading suggestions are included to aid navigation throughout the book, spur critical thinking and further students’ knowledge. The book is essential reading for all students studying Events Management, and provides valuable reading for students, academics and practitioners interested in marketing and public relations in general.

It is hardly possible to ?nd a single rheological law for all the soils. However theyhavemechanicalproperties(elasticity,plasticity,creep,damageetc. )that are met in some special sciences, and basic equations of these disciplines can be applied to earth structures. This way is taken in this book. It represents the results that can be used as a base for computations in many ?elds of the Geomechanics in its wide sense. Deformation and fracture of many objects include a row of important e?ects that must be taken into account. Some of them can be considered in the rheological law that, however, must be simple enough to solve the problems for real objects. On the base of experiments and some theoretical investigations the c- stitutive equations that take into account large strains, a non-linear unsteady creep, an in?uence of a stress state type, an initial anisotropy and a damage are introduced. The test results show that they can be used ?rst of all to ?nding ultimate state of structures – for a wide variety of monotonous lo- ings when e?ective strain does not diminish, and include some interrupted, step-wise and even cycling changes of stresses. When the in?uence of time is negligible the basic expressions become the constitutive equations of the pl- ticity theory generalized here. At limit values of the exponent of a hardening law the last ones give the Hooke’s and the Prandtl’s diagrams.

Attempts to provide safer and higher quality fresh and minimally processed produce have given rise to a wide variety of decontamination methods, each of which have been extensively researched in recent years. Decontamination of Fresh and Minimally Processed Produce is the first book to provide a systematic view of the different types of decontaminants for fresh and minimally processed produce. By describing the different effects – microbiological, sensory, nutritional and toxicological – of decontamination treatments, a team of internationally respected authors reveals not only the impact of decontaminants on food safety, but also on microbial spoilage, vegetable physiology, sensory quality, nutritional and phytochemical content and shelf-life. Regulatory and toxicological issues are also addressed. The book first examines how produce becomes contaminated, the surface characteristics of produce related to bacterial attachment, biofilm formation and resistance, and sublethal damage and its implications for decontamination. After reviewing how produce is washed and minimally processed, the various decontamination methods are then explored in depth, in terms of definition, generation devices, microbial inactivation mechanisms, and effects on food safety. Decontaminants covered include: chlorine, electrolyzed oxidizing water, chlorine dioxide, ozone, hydrogen peroxide, peroxyacetic acid, essential oils and edible films and coatings. Other decontamination methods addressed are biological strategies (bacteriophages, protective cultures, bacteriocins and quorum sensing) and physical methods (mild heat, continuous UV light, ionizing radiation) and various combinations of these methods through hurdle technology. The book concludes with descriptions of post-decontamination methods related to storage, such as modified atmosphere packaging, the cold chain, and modeling tools for predicting microbial growth and inactivation. The many methods and effects of decontamination are detailed, enabling industry professionals to understand the available state-of-the-art methods and select the most suitable approach for their purposes. The book serves as a compendium of information for food researchers and students of pre- and postharvest technology, food microbiology and food technology in general. The structure of the book allows easy comparisons among methods, and searching information by microorganism, produce, and quality traits.

While many people practice yoga simply because it helps them feel good, the physiological basis for yoga’s effects on the body and mind is often unknown or misunderstood. Understanding these physiological concepts can help to deepen your yoga practice. The Physiology of Yoga separates speculation from fact by examining how the body responds and adapts to yoga within many systems of the body: musculoskeletal, nervous, respiratory, cardiovascular, lymphatic, immune, endocrine, reproductive, and digestive. Straightforward explanations guide you in sorting through conflicting information about what yoga really can help you achieve and in evaluating whether certain yoga methods provide benefits to any or all of those systems. You can experiment with concepts through Try It Yourself sidebars, which focus on mindful movement, meditation, and breathing. The 14 Myth or Fact sidebars explore popular claims about yoga, such as whether a shoulder stand can stimulate the thyroid or if twists can detoxify the liver. You’ll get the most current research to determine the validity of various claims so you can avoid practices that could be harmful or counterproductive and can decide for yourself what works for your practice. Finally, experience firsthand how yoga affects your physiology by exploring specific yoga poses and four sequences. Each sequence explains which of the physiological principles from the earlier chapters may be most prevalent in that sequence. With The Physiology of Yoga, you or your students can navigate all the conflicting views and opinions about the impact of yoga and learn to practice yoga while fully enjoying the benefits of mindful movement.

The Scattering of Light and other Electromagnetic Radiation covers the theory of electromagnetic scattering and its practical applications to light scattering. This book is divided into 10 chapters that particularly present examples of practical applications to light scattering from colloidal and macromolecular systems. The opening chapters survey the physical concept of electromagnetic waves and optics. The subsequent chapters deal with the theory of scattering by spheres and infinitely long cylinders. These topics are followed by discussions on the application of light scattering to the determination of the size distribution of colloidal particles. The last chapters are devoted to the Rayleigh-Debye scattering and the scattering by liquids, as well as the concept of anisotropy. These chapters also describe the effect upon light scattering of partial orientation of anisotropic particles in electrical and magnetic fields and in viscous flow. This book is of value to physical chemists and physical chemistry researchers, teachers, and students.

Although researchers have long been aware that the species-typical architecture of the human mind is the product of our evolutionary history, it has only been in the last three decades that advances in such fields as evolutionary biology, cognitive psychology, and paleoanthropology have made the fact of our evolution illuminating. Converging findings from a variety of disciplines are leading to the emergence of a fundamentally new view of the human mind, and with it a new framework for the behavioral and social sciences. First, with the advent of the cognitive revolution, human nature can finally be defined precisely as the set of universal, species-typical information-processing programs that operate beneath the surface of expressed cultural variability. Second, this collection of cognitive programs evolved in the Pleistocene to solve the adaptive problems regularly faced by our hunter-gatherer ancestors--problems such as mate selection, language acquisition, cooperation, and sexual infidelity. Consequently, the traditional view of the mind as a general-purpose computer, tabula rasa, or passive recipient of culture is being replaced by the view that the mind resembles an intricate network of functionally specialized computers, each of which imposes contentful structure on human mental organization and culture. The Adapted Mind explores this new approach--evolutionary psychology--and its implications for a new view of culture.

With a new chapter on quantum entanglement and quantum information, as well as added discussions of the quantum beam splitter, electromagnetically induced transparency, slow light and the input-output formalism, this fourth edition of the brilliant work on quantum optics has been much updated. It still gives a self-contained and broad coverage of the basic elements necessary to understand and carry out research in laser physics and quantum optics, including a review of basic quantum mechanics and pedagogical introductions to system-reservoir interactions and to second quantization. The text reveals the close connection between many seemingly unrelated topics, such as probe absorption, four-wave mixing, optical instabilities, resonance fluorescence and squeezing.

Known for both its narrative style and scientific rigor, Principles of Behavior is the premier introduction to behavior analysis. Through an exploration of experimental, applied, and theoretical concepts, the authors summarize the key conversations in the field. They bring the content to life using humorous and engaging language and show students how the principles of behavior relate to their everyday lives. The text’s tried-and-true pedagogy make the content as clear as possible without oversimplifying the concepts. Each chapter includes study objectives, key terms, and review questions that encourage students to check their understanding before moving on, and incorporated throughout the text are real-world examples and case studies to illustrate key concepts and principles. This edition features some significant organizational changes: the respondent conditioning chapter is now Chapter 1, a general introduction to operant conditioning is now covered in Chapters 2 and 3, and the introduction to research methods is now covered in Chapter 4. These changes were made to help instructors prepare students for starting a research project at the beginning of the course. Two new chapters include Chapter 5 on the philosophy supporting behavior analysis, and Chapter 24 on verbal behavior that introduces B.F. Skinner’s approach and terminology. This edition also features a new full-color design and over 400 color figures, tables, and graphs. Principles of Behavior is an essential resource for both introductory and intermediate courses in behavior analysis. It is carefully tailored to the length of a standard academic semester and how behavior analysis courses are taught, with each section corresponding to a week’s worth of coursework. The text can also function as the first step in a student’s journey into becoming a professional behavior analyst at the BA, MA, or PhD/EdD level. Each chapter of the text is integrated with the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) task list, serving as an excellent primer to many of the BACB tasks. The text is supported by a set of PowerPoint slides with figures, tables, and graphs for every chapter and a robust test bank with multiple choice, fill in the blank, matching, and short answer questions for every chapter for a total of over 1,500 questions.

This textbook will provide a systematic comprehension of the various medically important human parasites; their distribution, habitat, morphology and life cycle, pathogenesis and clinical features, laboratory diagnosis, treatment, prevention and control. The main emphasis is on the protozoan and helminthic diseases, also medical entomology covering vectors relevant to these diseases. The book aims to promote an easy yet comprehensive way of learning parasitology. It attempts to break down the complexity of medical parasitology into parts that are easy to understand yet integrating the essential information of parasitic infections. The integration of knowledge of parasites will be achieved through student friendly illustrations, inclusion of a collection of recent case reports, examples of test questions and scenarios, and the images of human parasites. Essentially, it provides a “one-stop learning package” for medical parasitology.

Dynamic loads and undesired oscillations increase with higher speed of machines. At the same time, industrial safety standards require better vibration reduction. This book covers model generation, parameter identification, balancing of mechanisms, torsional and bending vibrations, vibration isolation, and the dynamic behavior of drives and machine frames as complex systems. Typical dynamic effects, such as the gyroscopic effect, damping and absorption, shocks, resonances of higher order, nonlinear and self-excited vibrations are explained using practical examples. These include manipulators, flywheels, gears, mechanisms, motors, rotors, hammers, block foundations, presses, high speed spindles, cranes, and belts. Various design features, which influence the dynamic behavior, are described. The book includes 60 exercises with detailed solutions. The substantial benefit of this "Dynamics of Machinery" lies in the combination of theory and practical applications and the numerous descriptive examples based on real-world data. The book addresses graduate students as well as engineers.

Shocking new insider information that shows what really happened in Wuhan, China, at the start of the COVID-19 outbreak and in the ensuing cover-up. The day that Dr. Andrew G. Huff left his senior scientist and vice president role at EcoHealth Alliance was one of the happiest days of his life due to the corruption he had witnessed at the organization. However, he never thought working there would be of any great consequence to the future. He was wrong. Because, as an EcoHealth Alliance insider, Dr. Huff had had a ringside seat to one of the biggest cover-ups in history. The Truth about Wuhan contains new research and a breakdown of how and why the development of COVID-19 in the United States and China was supported by the US government to collect intelligence on laboratories in China. Dr. Huff, an expert in the fields of bioterrorism and bio warfare, is a whistleblower who will show why the reasons the lab leak was covered up are incorrect. He worked on the classified research side of the program as a US government scientist. He knows the real how and why COVID-19 emerged. Besides exposing the conspiracy and cover-up, Dr. Huff also puts forth policy solutions and recommendations to prevent a lab leak virus from plaguing the world again. The Truth about Wuhan simply explains the complexity of the system that led to COVID-19’s emergence; how the medical industrial complex grew and became entrenched in gain of function work after 9/11; why EcoHealth Alliance was the (almost) perfect intelligence collection cover; the policy actions and decision-making process as to why the United States government engaged in the COVID cover-up; how and why the United States swapped biotechnology with China and biomedical corporations; and the incentives for each of the actors or governments to engage and coordinate a global cover-up of COVID-19 origins. The Truth about Wuhan also shows how and why Dr. Anthony Fauci is intricately involved in the COVID cover-up; how scientists like EcoHealth Alliance president and CEO Dr. Peter Daszak rose to power and used their influence to corrupt science and the COVID origin investigation; and how the intelligence community likely orchestrated the cover-up with Dr. Anthony Fauci. Dr. Huff also provides personal harrowing accounts of how the US government waged a psychological operation against him to prevent him from speaking out. COVID-19 is the biggest lie, scandal, and intelligence failure in US history, and Dr. Andrew G. Huff is stepping out of the shadows to share his insider story about this failure that led to millions of deaths around the world.

Nonlocal continuum field theories are concerned with material bodies whose behavior at any interior point depends on the state of all other points in the body -- rather than only on an effective field resulting from these points -- in addition to its own state and the state of some calculable external field. Nonlocal field theory extends classical field theory by describing the responses of points within the medium by functionals rather than functions (the "constitutive relations" of classical field theory). Such considerations are already well known in solid-state physics, where the nonlocal interactions between the atoms are prevalent in determining the properties of the material. The tools developed for crystalline materials, however, do not lend themselves to analyzing amorphous materials, or materials in which imperfections are a major part of the structure. Nonlocal continuum theories, by contrast, can describe these materials faithfully at scales down to the lattice parameter. This book presents a unified approach to field theories for elastic solids, viscous fluids, and heat-conducting electromagnetic solids and fluids that include nonlocal effects in both space and time (memory effects). The solutions to the field equations agree remarkably well with atomic theories and experimental observations.

This scientific biography of the mathematician Joseph Liouville is divided into two parts. The first part is a chronological account of Liouville's career including a description of the institutions he worked in, his relations with his teachers, colleagues and students, and the historical context of his works. It portrays the French scientific community in a period when Germany and England had surpassed France as the leading nations in mathematics and physics. The second part of the book gives a detailed analysis of Liouville's major contributions to mathematics and mechanics. The gradual development of Liouville's ideas, as reflected in his publications and notebooks, are related to the works of his predecessors and his contemporaries as well as to later developments in the field. On the basis of Liouville's unpublished notes the book reconstructs Liouville's hitherto unknown theories of stability of rotating masses of fluid, potential theory, Galois theory and electrodynamics. It also incorporates valuable added information from Liouville's notes regarding his works on differentiation of arbitrary order, integration in finite terms, Sturm-Liouville theory, transcendental numbers, doubly periodic functions, geometry and mechanics.

The Encyclopedia of Cosmology is a new and exciting project which will be a major, long-lasting, seminal reference (a set of four major volumes) at the graduate student level, laid out by the most prominent, respected researchers in the general field of Cosmology. These volumes will be a comprehensive review of the most important concepts and current status in the field of Cosmology of the Universe, covering both theory and observation.One of the most exciting parts of the encyclopedia is that it will exist in both print and, more importantly, electronic forms, perhaps even with some level of interactivity with material such as expanded explanations, movie clips, dynamic pictures, examples of on-line computation, etc. The electronic version will also reflect constant updates of the material. It will be a truly unique publication, unlike anything any of us have seen or known of in existence today.This comprehensive encyclopedia is edited by Dr. Giovanni Fazio from Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, with an advisory board comprised of renowned scientists: Lars Hernquist and Abraham Loeb (Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics), and Christopher McKee (UC Berkeley). Each volume is authored/edited by a specialist in the area: Galaxy Formation and Evolution written by Rennan Barkana (Tel Aviv University), Numerical Simulations in Cosmology edited by Kentaro Nagamine (Osaka University / University of Nevada), Dark Energy written by Shinji Tsujikawa (Tokyo University of Science), and Dark Matter written by Jihn Kim (Seoul National University).

The Pfizer Papers features new reports written by WarRoom/DailyClout research volunteers, which are based on the primary source Pfizer clinical trial documents released under court order and on related medical literature. The book shows in high relief that Pfizer’s mRNA COVID-19 vaccine clinical trial was deeply flawed and that the pharmaceutical company knew by November 2020 that its vaccine was neither safe nor effective. The reports detail vaccine-induced harms throughout the human body, including to the reproductive system; show that women suffer vaccine-related adverse events at a 3:1 ratio; expose that vaccine-induced myocarditis is not rare, mild, or transient; and, shockingly, demonstrate that the mRNA vaccines have created a new category of multi-system, multi-organ disease, which is being called “CoVax Disease.” Despite the fact that Pfizer committed in its own clinical trial protocol to follow the placebo arm of its trial for twenty-four months, Pfizer vaccinated approximately 95 percent of placebo recipients by March 2021, thus eliminating the trial’s control group and making it impossible for comparative safety determinations to be made. Just as importantly, The Pfizer Papers makes it clear that the US Food and Drug Administration knew about the shortfalls of Pfizer’s clinical trial as well as the harms caused by the company’s mRNA COVID vaccine product, thus highlighting the FDA’s abject failure to fulfill its mission to “[protect] the public health by ensuring the safety, efficacy, and security of human and veterinary drugs, biological products, and medical devices.” The Pfizer Papers offers an in-depth look at how Big Pharma, the US government, and healthcare entities stand protected behind the broad legal immunity provided by the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP Act) when creating, prescribing, and administering vaccines; and, under that shield of protection, do what is best for their bottom lines rather than for the health and well-being of Americans.

This Fourth Edition of Principles of Seed Science and Technology, like the fIrst three editions, is written for the advanced undergraduate student or lay person who desires an introduction to the science and technology of seeds. The fIrst nine chapters present the seed as a biological system and cover its origin, development, composition, function (and sometimes nonfunction), performance and ultimate deterioration. The last nine chapters present the fundamentals of how seeds are produced, conditioned, evaluated and distributed in our modern agricultural society. Two new chapters have been added in this fourth edition, one on seed ecology and the second on seed drying. Finally, revisions have been made throughout to reflect changes that have occurred in the seed industry since publication of the Third Edition. Because of the fundamental importance of seeds to both agriculture and to all of society, we have taken great care to present the science and technology of seeds with the respect and feeling this study deserves. We hope that this feeling will be communicated to our readers. Furthermore, we have attempted to present information in a straight-forward, easy-ta-read manner that will be easily understood by students and lay persons alike. Special care has been taken to address both current state-of-the-art as well as future trends in seed technology.

AUDIBLE EDITOR'S PICK A paradigm-shifting study of neurodivergent women—those with ADHD, autism, synesthesia, high sensitivity, and sensory processing disorder—exploring why these traits are overlooked in women and how society benefits from allowing their unique strengths to flourish. As a successful Harvard and Berkeley-educated writer, entrepreneur, and devoted mother, Jenara Nerenberg was shocked to discover that her “symptoms”--only ever labeled as anxiety-- were considered autistic and ADHD. Being a journalist, she dove into the research and uncovered neurodiversity—a framework that moves away from pathologizing “abnormal” versus “normal” brains and instead recognizes the vast diversity of our mental makeups. When it comes to women, sensory processing differences are often overlooked, masked, or mistaken for something else entirely. Between a flawed system that focuses on diagnosing younger, male populations, and the fact that girls are conditioned from a young age to blend in and conform to gender expectations, women often don’t learn about their neurological differences until they are adults, if at all. As a result, potentially millions live with undiagnosed or misdiagnosed neurodivergences, and the misidentification leads to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and shame. Meanwhile, we all miss out on the gifts their neurodivergent minds have to offer. Divergent Mind is a long-overdue, much-needed answer for women who have a deep sense that they are “different.” Sharing real stories from women with high sensitivity, ADHD, autism, misophonia, dyslexia, SPD and more, Nerenberg explores how these brain variances present differently in women and dispels widely-held misconceptions (for example, it’s not that autistic people lack sensitivity and empathy, they have an overwhelming excess of it). Nerenberg also offers us a path forward, describing practical changes in how we communicate, how we design our surroundings, and how we can better support divergent minds. When we allow our wide variety of brain makeups to flourish, we create a better tomorrow for us all.

performing ?rms were curtailed following the stock market decline and the subsequent economic slowdown of 2001 and 2002. The Federal Government was once the main source of the nation’s R&D funds, funding as much as 66. 7 percent of all U. S. R&D in 1964. The Federal share ?rst fell below 50 percent in 1979, and after 1987 it fell steadily, dr- ping from 46. 3 percent in that year to 25. 1 percent in 2000 (the lowest it has ever been since 1953). Adjusting for in?ation, Federal support decreased 18 percent from 1987 to 2000, although in nominal terms, Federal support grew from $58. 5 billion to $66. 4 billion during that period. Growth in industrial funding generally outpaced growth in Federal support, leading to the decline in Federal support as a proportion of the total. Fig. 2.

Why We Still Haven't Found What We're Looking For We long for heaven, and we will never feel fully at home until we get there. This keen insight into our souls pervades the writings of C. S. Lewis. From his Chronicles of Narnia to Mere Christianity, Lewis's writings continually return to the theme of heaven as our true home, the land we have been searching for our whole lives, a place where all is finally made right and that all the joys in this life point to. With selections from The Weight of Glory, The Great Divorce, and The Problem of Pain, this collection includes some of Lewis's most beautiful and profound writing on heaven, revealing how our destinies transform every aspect of our lives.

The revelations contained in the Bible serve as a supreme guide by which to measure all human conduct, creeds, and religious opinions—and today’s Christians are in steady moral and spiritual decline. A 2010 survey by the Barna Research Group reveals that in American churches, Christians have become less knowledgeable about the Bible, less interested in spiritual disciplines, and more desirous of secular techniques to solve life’s problems, thus blurring the distinction between their conduct and that of nonbelievers. In Seven Pillars of Christianity: An Introduction to the Essential Christian Doctrines, Dr. William Ekane reveals the life-transforming foundations of the Christian faith and issues a clarion call for Christians to return to authentic Christianity. First presenting his compelling case for the scientific reliability and divine origin of the Bible, Dr. Ekane works closely with Scripture as he leads us through everything from the Lord Jesus Christ to trust and faith in the living God to, finally, the five major judgments and Revelation. These practical, strategic insights and essential truths are invaluable to new converts as well as mature believers. The Word of the Holy Spirit offers transformation, illuminating our hearts and minds as we strengthen our spiritual foundation and grow deeper in God.

هذا الكتاب هو للنفس تذكرة بالموت،حيث يتحدث فيه المؤلف عن أحوال الموتى، وعن الحشر والنشر، والجنة والنار، والفتن والأشراط. ناقلاً ذلك من كتب الأئمة، وثقات أعلام هذه الأمة. وبوب المؤلف كتابه ضمن أبواب جاعلاً عقب كل باب فصلاً أو فصولاً، تذكر ما يحتاجه القارئ من بيان غريب، أو فقه في حديث، أو إيضاح مشكل، لتكمل فائدته، وتعظم منفعته. ومن أبواب هذا الكتاب نذكر: باب النهي عن تمني الموت، والدعاء به لضر نزل في المال والجسد، ذكر الموت والاستعداد له، ما جاء أن للموت سكرات وفي تسليم الأعضاء بعضها على بعض، ما جاء أن الميت يحضر الشيطان عند موته، وجلساؤه في الدنيا، من شأن الروح وأين تصير حين تخرج من الجسد، ما جاء في سؤال الأنبياء وفي شهادة هذه الأمة للأنبياء على أممهم، ما جاء في شهادة النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم على أمته، ما جاء في الكوثر الذي أعطيه صلى الله عليه وسلم في الجنة، ما جاء في الميزان وأنه حق، ما يرجى من رحمة الله تعالى ومغفرته وعفوه يوم القيامة، حفت الجنة بالمكارم وحفت النار بالشهوات، ما جاء أن العرفان في النار، أبواب الجنة وما جاء فيها وفي صفتها ونعيمها، أبواب الملاحم...

This classic work, first published in 1675, inaugurated the movement in Germany called Pietism. In it a young pastor, born and raised during the devastating Thirty Years War, voiced a plea for reform of the church which made the author and his proposals famous. A lifelong friend of the philosopher Leibnitz, Spener was an important influence in the life of the next leader of German Pietism, August Herman Francke. He was also a sponsor at the baptism of Nicholas Zinzendorf, founder of the Moravian Church, whose members played a crucial role in the life of John Wesley.

Standing at the very foundation of monotheism, and so of Western culture, Moses is a figure not of history, but of memory. As such, he is the quintessential subject for the innovative historiography Jan Assmann both defines and practices in this work, the study of historical memory--a study, in this case, of the ways in which factual and fictional events and characters are stored in religious beliefs and transformed in their philosophical justification, literary reinterpretation, philological restitution (or falsification), and psychoanalytic demystification. To account for the complexities of the foundational event through which monotheism was established, Moses the Egyptian goes back to the short-lived monotheistic revolution of the Egyptian king Akhenaten (1360-1340 B.C.E.). Assmann traces the monotheism of Moses to this source, then shows how his followers denied the Egyptians any part in the origin of their beliefs and condemned them as polytheistic idolaters. Thus began the cycle in which every "counter-religion," by establishing itself as truth, denounced all others as false. Assmann reconstructs this cycle as a pattern of historical abuse, and tracks its permutations from ancient sources, including the Bible, through Renaissance debates over the basis of religion to Sigmund Freud's Moses and Monotheism. One of the great Egyptologists of our time, and an exceptional scholar of history and literature, Assmann is uniquely equipped for this undertaking--an exemplary case study of the vicissitudes of historical memory that is also a compelling lesson in the fluidity of cultural identity and beliefs.

The life of Jesus is at the heart of the Christian faith, and is one of the great works of Western literature. This book presents the story in a new form, more accessible than ever before. It weaves the four separate gospel accounts into one continuous story. And it presents the story in a new translation: traditional, but clear. Here the reader can find the episodes laid out in an understandable narrative sequence. The nativity at Bethlehem is followed by the visit of the three wise men. And for each scene the rich details are collected from all the gospel accounts, giving a complete picture of complex events like the Sermon on the Mount or Jesus' climatic encounter with Pilate. The new language is clear as well. It is traditional scripture inconspicuously updated for modern readers, supplemented with contemporary language for difficult concepts, and using the grand and familiar language of the King James where appropriate. Low-key explanations fill in the details. Short footnotes explain the key concepts, and longer endnotes provide additional depth. This book opens the gospels to everyone--Christians who want to better understand their faith, and general readers who want to rediscover a great work of literature.

This book explores the increasing political and social prominence of Islamist groups across the Middle East in recent years. The aftermath of the 2011 uprisings saw some groups access or even control political institutions through success at the ballot box, while there has also been a marked resurgence of armed Islamist groups that have had profound effects at both the national and regional level. This volume helps us to understand the nature and development of organised political Islam over recent decades in several key Arab and Mediterranean countries: Mauritania, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, the Palestinian Territories, and Turkey. The book identifies the central social and political Islamist actors, traces their ideological differences and similarities, and analyses power relations both within and between these organizations in the context of political instability and uncertainty. It will be of interest to students and scholars across a broad range of disciplines including political science, sociology, and international relations.

Integridad Cristiana es la fortaleza del creyente que crece. Integridad significa entereza de carácter, consistencia entre palabra y obra, adherencia inflexible a un código de valores. La integridad cristiana viene por vivir la Palabra de Dios. Este libro presenta la forma de vivir cristiana como una unidad dinámica. Cada mandamiento bíblico para el creyente revela un aspecto de la gracia de Dios, pero todas sus provisiones de gracia trabajan juntas como un único sistema de poder y amor. Al comprender el plan de Dios como un sistema integral, el creyente puede cumplir todos los mandatos de Dios. Podrá evitar las distorsiones que vienen de tomar ciertos principios bíblicos favoritos fuera de su contexto doctrinal. Ninguna parte del sistema de Dios funcionará efectivamente si está aislada del sistema como un todo. El creyente que vive en el sistema del poder y el amor de Dios tendrá integridad cristiana.

With the enthusiasm and honesty that we all want from our closest friend, Holley encourages women to overcome excuses--too busy, too late, too far out of my comfort zone--and believe that their God-sized dreams can become reality. She takes readers by the heart and says, "Yes! You can do this! Let's go!" and then guides them forward with a loving hand. A licensed counselor and certified life coach, Holley insightfully combines inspiration with practical application in this positive book.

This collection challenges the tendency among scholars of ancient Greece to see magical and religious ritual as mutually exclusive and to ignore "magical" practices in Greek religion. The contributors survey specific bodies of archaeological, epigraphical, and papyrological evidence for magical practices in the Greek world, and, in each case, determine whether the traditional dichotomy between magic and religion helps in any way to conceptualize the objective features of the evidence examined. Contributors include Christopher A. Faraone, J.H.M. Strubbe, H.S. Versnel, Roy Kotansky, John Scarborough, Samuel Eitrem, Fritz Graf, John J. Winkler, Hans Dieter Betz, and C.R. Phillips.

The Tyranny of Heaven argues for a new way of reading the figure of Milton's God, contending that Milton rejects kings on earth and in heaven. Though Milton portrays God as a king in Paradise Lost, he does this neither to endorse kingship nor to recommend a monarchical model of deity. Instead, he recommends the Son, who in Paradise Regained rejects external rule as the model of politics and theology for Milton's fit audience though few. The portrait of God in Paradise Lost serves as a scathing critique of the English people and its slow but steady backsliding into the political habits of a nation long used to living under the yoke of kingship, a nation that maintained throughout its brief period of liberty the image of God as a heavenly king, and finally welcomed with open arms the return of a human king.

Literatur Islam menyebutkan bahwa permulaan menstruasi terjadi pada Hawa setelah dikeluarkan dari surga (Asqalani: Terj. Fathul Baari Syarh Shahih Al-Bukhari). Namun Islam menolak tentang anggapan bahwa menstruasi yang dialami wanita adalah akibat dari dosa turunan yang dilakukan oleh Hawa. Tak ada satupun dalil Al-Qur'an atau Hadis yang menyebutkan demikian. Sehingga mitos yang menganggap haid merupakan wujud kenajisan tubuh perempuan tidak benar adanya (di beberapa daerah mitos kenajisan tubuh wanita karena haid masih cukup kuat. Seperti di Flores yang melarang perempuan yang sedang menstruasi untuk membuat kue karena akan menjadi tidak enak). . Darah wanita (haid, nifas, dan istihadah) merupakan peristiwa alamiah sebagai pengalaman biologis yang diberikan Allah sebagai tanda sehat dan berfungsinya organ reproduksi. Oleh sebab itu, wajib hukumnya bagi perempuan memahami tentang seluk-beluk seputar darah wanita. Baik itu pengertian, jenis, hukum, dan lain sebagainya. Bahkan para ulama memfatwakan fardhu ain bagi wanita memahaminya. . Karena begitu banyak ibadah wajib dan mubah yang mengikat ketentuan bagi wanita yang mengeluarkan darah, makan hal yang wajib pula bagi perempuan untuk mempelajari segala hal terkait aturan dan ketentuan seputar haid, nifas, dan istihadah. . Hadirnya buku ini diharapkan dapat menjadi buku pegangan dan panduan bagi para wanita dalam mempelajari haid, nifas dan istihadah. Sebab, buku ini memberikan pemahaman yang cukup lengkap mengenai haid, nifas dan istihadah. Tak cukup sampai di situ, buku ini berhasil memberikan panduan yang cukup komprehensif terkait permasalahan darah wanita yang cukup kompleks dengan penjelasan yang ringan dan padat. Selamat membaca!

Al-Rawd al-’Athir fi’ Nuzhat al-Khathir, karangan Syaikh al Imam al-Allamah al-Humam Sayiddi Muhammad al Nafzawi, Diperkirakan buku ini ditulis pada awal abad 16 Masehi atau sekitar tahun 925 Hijrah Pengarang buku ini lahir di Nafzawi suatu tempat yang berada di pinggir Danau Sebkha Melrir, Tunisia. Ia dikenal sebagai ulama yang menguasai fiqih dan hadist serta ilmu pengobatan Beliau menulis buku ini setelah melakukan riset mendalam tentang hubungan antara laki-laki dan perempuan, untuk menjelaskan prinsip-prinsip apa saja yang dapat membahagiakan laki-laki dan perempuan, berdasarkan karakter, temperamen, dan kesehatannya. Buku bukanlah 100% karya orisinal Syaikh al Nafzawi, beliau banyak mengkompulasi dari sumber-sumber lain, seperti hikayat Arab dan juga dari karya tulis India. Bukunya bisa dikatakan sangat lengkap membahas berbagai hal tentang seks, seni bercinta dan juga tentang pengobatan yang berkaitan dengannya, dan juga beberapa hikayat serta anekdot. Tidak diragukan Syaikh al Nafzawi pada bukunya ini dia bukan hanya sekedar sex therapyst, tetapi juga memiliki pengetahuan anatomi manusia yang mendalam dan menguasai ilmu kedokteran, serta pengetahuan agama yang mendalam. Buku ini terdiri dari 20 Bab. Dimulai dengan pembahasan tentang Laki-laki dan Perempuan, kemudian adab berjima yang berisi penjelasan tentang foreplay, selanjutnya dibahas tentang gaya dan posisi berjima yang terdiri dari 11 cara berjima dan 25 gaya berjima, dibahas juga gerakan jima, bab selanjutnya tentang kehamilan,dan pengobatan. Pada tahun 1850 buku tersebut diterjemahkan ke dalam bahasa Perancis oleh pegawai kolonialis Perancis di Tunisia. Buku tersebut menimbulkan kehebohan, terutama kalangan gereja. Pada saat itu masyarakat Eropa dan khususnya gereja, memandang seks sebagai sesuatu yang kotor dan dosa (sex is a sin), dan tabu membicarakannya. Karenanya fihak gereja menetapkan posisi seks suami istri hanya boleh dilakukan dengan gaya misionary position dan harus dilakukan secepat mungkin. Berbeda dengan pandangan islam, seks bukanlah sesuatu yang kotor, tetapi suci dan bahkan bernilai ibadah,dengan syarat dilakukan oleh suami istri yang sah telah menikah. Membicarakan seks bukanlah hal yang tabu dalam islam. Ada beberapa hadis-hadis dan pendapat para ulama yang berisi panduan dari Rasulullah SAW , para sahabat dan para ulama tentang hubungan suami istri. Berikut ini beberapa di antaranya. Ada hadis yang menjelaskan bahwa dalam hubungan suami istri hendaknya dilakukan dengan pendahuluan terlebih dahulu, atau dalam bahasa sekarang istilahnya adalah ‘foreplay’. Sabda Rasulullah SAW: “Janganlah antara kamu melakukan hubungan badan dengan isterinya seperti binatang. Sebaiknya mereka melakukan dua perkara terlebih dulu.” Sahabat bertanya, apa dua perkara itu? Rasulullah menjawab “kecupan dan kata-kata mesra” (Hadis riwayat Dailami). Dalam hadis tersebut nampak bahwa ada hal tentang seks yang tidak difahami oleh sahabat, sehingga kemudian mereka bertanya lalu Rasulullah SAW menjelaskan. Dari hadis ini dapat diambil pelajaran bahwa menjadi tanggung jawab bagi seorang pemimpin dan guru untuk menerangkan sesuatu yang kurang difahami dalam soal hubungan kelamin / seks, dan hal ini bukanlah sesuatu yang memalukan. Di dunia pesantren sex education diajarkan dalam bentuk nadzham (syair yang dilagukan), dan Nadzham yang populer di dunia pesantren adalah Nazham Qurotul Uyun, karangan Ibnu Yamun.

A Christian walks in the midst of many dangers, snares and traps. This book will open your eyes to the many subtle dangers that lie in wait to harm, injure and destroy us. Help yourself, save yourself, and deliver yourself through this powerful book on spiritual dangers!

Restores to the forefront of the Christian tradition the importance of the divine feminine • The first complete English-language translation of the original Coptic Gospel of Mary, with line-by-line commentary • Reveals the eminence of the divine feminine in Christian thought • Offers a new perspective on the life of one of the most controversial figures in the Western spiritual tradition Perhaps no figure in biblical scholarship has been the subject of more controversy and debate than Mary Magdalene. Also known as Miriam of Magdala, Mary Magdalene was considered by the apostle John to be the founder of Christianity because she was the first witness to the Resurrection. In most theological studies she has been depicted as a reformed prostitute, the redeemed sinner who exemplifies Christ's mercy. Today's reader can ponder her role in the gospels of Philip, Thomas, Peter, and Bartholomew--the collection of what have come to be known as the Gnostic gospels rejected by the early Christian church. Mary's own gospel is among these, but until now it has remained unknown to the public at large. Orthodox theologian Jean-Yves Leloup's translation of the Gospel of Mary from the Coptic and his thorough and profound commentary on this text are presented here for the first time in English. The gospel text and the spiritual exegesis of Leloup together reveal unique teachings that emphasize the eminence of the divine feminine and an abiding love of nature over the dualistic and ascetic interpretations of Christianity presented elsewhere. What emerges from this important source text and commentary is a renewal of the sacred feminine in the Western spiritual tradition and a new vision for Christian thought and faith throughout the world.

"Enki and the World Order," a Sumerian myth from the early second millennium BCE, depicts the god Enki's reconstitution of the Sumerian world after an unspecified catastrophe. The myth ends with a face-off between Enki and the goddess of love and war, Inana, who is dissatisfied with Enki's allotment of functions to the other goddesses. This volume presents a critical edition of the 472-line Sumerian text, with introduction, translation and commentary, based on 25 published and unpublished manuscripts, mostly from Nippur in what is now southern Iraq. All the manuscripts, with one exception, have been collated, and there are many new fragments and joins to previously known tablets.

Stanford Lehmberg, a noted authority on the Tudor period, examines the impact of the Reformation on the cathedrals of England and Wales. Based largely on manuscript materials from the cathedral archives themselves, this book is the first attempt to draw together information for all twenty-nine of the cathedrals that existed in the Tudor period. The author scrutinizes the major changes that took place during this era in the institutional structure, personnel, endowments, liturgy, and music of the cathedral and shows how the cathedrals, unlike the monasteries that were dissolved by Henry VIII, succeeded in adapting successfully to the Reformation. Forty-two illustrations depict sixteenth-century changes in cathedral buildings. Narrative chapters trace the changes that occurred during the reigns of Henry VIII, Edward VI, "Bloody" Mary, and Elizabeth I. Analytical sections are devoted to cathedral finance and cathedral music. The changing lives of cathedral musicians are described in some detail, and even greater attention is paid to the cathedral clergy, whose living conditions changed markedly when they were allowed to marry. Using a variety of sources, including such physical remains as tombs and monuments, the concluding chapter discusses the role of cathedrals in English society. Originally published in 1989.

Tauhid merupakan pelajaran agama Islam pertama dan utama. Inilah yang dilakukan oleh Nabi Muhammad Saw. begitu diutus menjadi nabi dan rasul, dan ini pula yang seharusnya kita miliki dan didik pertama kali kepada anak-anak kita. Kita mengenal dan mengenalkan rukun iman, kita jaga dan rawat agar keimanan tetap bersemayam kuat dalam hati kita dan anak-anak kita. Hati yang kosong dari iman ibarat rumah tak berpondasi atau pohon tak berakar. Pun demikian hati yang diisi dengan keimanan yang keliru, bagaikan pohon dengan akar yang sakit atau rumah dengan pondasi seadanya. Keduanya tidak akan menolong dan memberi manfaat. Melalui buku ini Buya Hamka mengajarkan bagian terpenting dari ajaran agama Islam: Iman. Buku persembahan Republika Penerbit [Republika, bukurepublika, Penerbit Republika, buku agama]

Una mujer del reino le da al diablo tanta razón para temer como un hombre del reino. Ella vive con la seguridad de saber que Cristo murió y resucitó por ella para poder experimentar la importancia del destino al cual ha sido llamada. En Una mujer del reino, Tony Evans y su hija Chrystal Evans Hurst le recuerdan a las mujeres su llamado de Dios a ser libres, sanadas y a tener esperanza. Los autores dan conceptos que alientan a las mujeres a cambiar ideas distorsionadas y a comprender quiénes son realmente en Cristo, sin aceptar menos cuando están conectadas con Aquel que les da esperanza. Todos los creyentes están cubiertos por el pacto de Dios con Abraham. Evans y Hurst quieren que las mujeres conozcan esos derechos, los reclamen con confianza y vivan por ellos. El nuevo pacto ofrece más que una vida de mediocridad. ¡Una mujer del reino es llamada y recibe poder para vivir una vida victoriosa por medio de Cristo! A kingdom woman gives the devil as much reason to fear as a kingdom man. She lives confidently in the knowledge that Christ died and rose for her so that she can experience the significance of the destiny to which she has been called. In Kingdom Woman, Tony Evans and his daughter Chrystal Evans Hurst remind women of their calling from God to be free, delivered, healed, and hopeful. The authors bring insight that encourages women to correct distorted perceptions and understand who they really are in Christ—never settling for less when connected with the One who gives them hope. All believers are covered by God’s covenant with Abraham. Evans and Hurst want women to know these rights and confidently claim and live by them. The new covenant offers more than a life of mediocrity. A kingdom woman is called and empowered to live a life of victory through Christ!

ÜMMETİN EMİNİ EBÛ UBEYDE B. CERRAH Sahabenin hayatını kaynaklara bağlı, ama akıcı bir dil ile yazan Muhammed Emin Yıldırım Hocamız, serinin dördüncü kitabı olan "Ümmetin Emini Ebû Ubeyde b. Cerrah" çalışmasını bizlere takdim etti. Cennetle müjdelenen on kişiden biri olan Ebû Ubeydenin hayatını çok farklı bir dil ve üslup ile bize aktaran Hocamız, adeta satırlar arasında okuyucuyu saadet asrına götürmektedir. Hocamız kitabının önsözünde şöyle demektedir: "Ebû Ubeyde b. Cerrah ideal manada bir müminin hayatında emniyet ve teslimiyet nasıl gerçekleşir, bu iki önemli hususiyet nasıl hayata taşınır ve nasıl hayatta temsil edilir bunun en güzel örneğidir. O da hayat defterlerinin sayfalarında önceden seyahat ettiğimiz diğer yiğitler gibi; ilklerden, öncülerden, önden giden altılılardandır. Çok yol almasına rağmen bir çiçeği dahi ezmeyenlerden, geriye takip edilmesi için çok güzel bir örneklik miras olarak bırakanlardan O da daha dünyada iken, sesine ve nefesine kurban olduğumuz Efendimiz tarafından cennetle müjdelenenlerden, Allah ve Resulü uğruna neyi varsa feda edenlerden, verilen her görevi yerine en güzel şekliyle yerine getirenlerden O da diğerleri gibi ilk gün nasıl başladı ise, hayatını öyle bitirenlerden; ilk günün heyecanını, şevkini, aşkını ve tabiî ki imanını son güne kadar devam ettirenlerden Hepsinden öte o, Allah Resulünün: Her ümmetin bir emini vardır, benim ümmetimin emini de Ebû Ubeyde b. Cerrahdır diye müjdelediği bir yiğittir. Daha yaşı altmışa varmadan bu dünyadan göçen, az ama öz yaşayıp, yaşadığı her anın kıymetini bilerek dolu dolu yaşayan, böyle yaşadığı için de bereketli bir ömrün sahibi olan Ebû Ubeyde b. Cerrah, kendinden sonra gelen tüm Muhammed ümmetine adeta şu hakikatleri haykırmaktadır: Bize bakın, bizi örnek alın, kurtuluş, Muhammedde ve Onun mübarek ellerinde yetişen ilk nesildedir. Kim bu nesli kendine rehber edinmişse, kim bu nesil gibi olmaya çalışmış ise, kim onların yürüdüğü gibi yürümeye, koştukları gibi koşmaya, iman yolunda coştukları gibi coşmaya gayret etmişse, hem dünyada hem ahirette kazanmıştır. Takdim ve giriş kısmı dışında beş bölümden oluşan kitap, Ebû Ubeyde b. Cerrah hakkında bilinmesi gereken tüm bilgileri ihtiva etmektedir. Doğumu, ailesi, çocukluğu, gençlik yılları, iman ile tanışması, Habeşistan ve Mekke yılları, Medine hayatı, altı yıl atının üzerinden inmeden sürdürdüğü cihadı ve arkasından gelen vefatı çok güzel anlatılmaktadır. Serinin diğer kitaplarında olduğu gibi arka tarafta kimlik tablosu, soy kütüğü, aile tablosu ve kabrinden resimler yer almaktadır. Hocamıza bu çalışmayı bizlere kazandırttığı için teşekkür ediyor, serinin beşinci kitabını sabırsızlıkla bekliyoruz.

Nathan Roberts, an ordained minister who has spent his lifetime praising the Lord, traces the steps he had to take to not only know God but to truly know God in this scholarly book steeped in Scripture..

Like Moses, there has to be something inside you that draws you up the mountain, a longing that pushes you into the great unknown.

A QUEM SE DESTINA O LIVRO? 1º para os NOVOS CONVERTIDOS. Um Novo Convertido é alguém que entregou a Vida a Jesus recentemente. Mas, a todo o tempo, ainda NÃO MUDOU: continua a VIVER como sempre viveu; continua a FALAR, PENSAR, etc. como sempre fez; continua com as mesmas AMIZADES; Enfim - NÃO MUDOU de ESTILO de VIDA.

The United States today suffers from too much criminal law and too much punishment. Husak describes the phenomena in some detail and explores their relation, and why these trends produce massive injustice. His primary goal is to defend a set of constraints that limit the authority of states to enact and enforce penal offenses. The book urges the weight and relevance of this topic in the real world, and notes that most Anglo-American legal philosophers have neglected it. Husak's secondary goal is to situate this endeavor in criminal theory as traditionally construed. He argues that many of the resources to reduce the size and scope of the criminal law can be derived from within the criminal law itself-even though these resources have not been used explicitly for this purpose. Additional constraints emerge from a political view about the conditions under which important rights such as the right implicated by punishment-may be infringed. When conjoined, these constraints produce what Husak calls a minimalist theory of criminal liability. Husak applies these constraints to a handful of examples-most notably, to the justifiability of drug proscriptions.

The bestselling, widely acclaimed translation from Stephen Mitchell "Mitchell's rendition of the Tao Te Ching comes as close to being definitive for our time as any I can imagine. It embodies the virtues its translator credits to the Chinese original: a gemlike lucidity that is radiant with humor, grace, largeheartedness, and deep wisdom." — Huston Smith, author of The Religions of Man In eighty-one brief chapters, Lao-tzu's Tao Te Ching, or Book of the Way, provides advice that imparts balance and perspective, a serene and generous spirit, and teaches us how to work for the good with the effortless skill that comes from being in accord with the Tao—the basic principle of the universe.

Die Beiträge behandeln in systematischer und historischer Sicht epistemologisch orientierte Fragen nach dem gesellschaftlichen und kulturellen Standort von Theorie zwischen Wissenschaftskultur und Kulturwissenschaft. Sie gehen dem Eindruck nach, demzufolge die Ambivalenz theoretischer 'Passion' entweder eher zu ereignisträchtigen kulturellen Formen oder aber ins Abseits theoretisch-organisatorischer Betriebsamkeit führt. Nicht nur in den Geisteswissenschaften lässt sich beobachten, dass Theoriebildungsprozesse innerhalb einer vielfach unterschätzten Bandbreite von Denkstilen vonstatten gehen - zwischen Intuition und Konstruktion. Diese Vor- und Nachrationalisierungen theoretischen Denkens hat die bisherige Theoriegeschichte weitgehend unbeachtet gelassen; auch für diese Denkstil-Bandbreite steht der Platzhalter 'kulturell'. Es sind mithin sowohl die gesellschaftlich-institutionellen Einbindungsformen als auch die möglichen kulturellen Ressourcen von Theorie, denen die einzelnen Beiträge des Bandes paradigmatisch (u.a. Dilthey, Valéry, Bachtin, Adorno, Luhmann, Feyerabend) nachgehen.

Cass Sunstein and Martha Nussbaum bring together an all-star cast of contributors to explore the legal and political issues that underlie the campaign for animal rights and the opposition to it. Addressing ethical questions about ownership, protection against unjustified suffering, and the ability of animals to make their own choices free from human control, the authors offer numerous different perspectives on animal rights and animal welfare. They show that whatever one's ultimate conclusions, the relationship between human beings and nonhuman animals is being fundamentally rethought. This book offers a state-of-the-art treatment of that rethinking.

Contemporary social problems typically involve many complex, interrelated dimensions--psychological, cultural, and institutional, among others. But today, the social sciences have fragmented into isolated disciplines lacking a common language, and analyses of social problems have polarized into approaches that focus on an individual's mental functioning over social settings, or vice versa. In Mind as Action, James V. Wertsch argues that current approaches to social issues have been blinded by the narrow confines of increasing specialization in the social sciences. In response to this conceptual blindness, he proposes a method of sociocultural analysis that connects the various perspectives of the social sciences in an integrated, nonreductive fashion. Wertsch maintains that we can use mediated action, which he defines as the irreducible tension between active agents and cultural tools, as a productive method of explicating the complicated relationships between human action and its manifold cultural, institutional, and historical contexts. Drawing on the ideas of Lev Vygotsky, Mikhail Bakhtin, and Kenneth Burke, as well as research from various fields, this book traces the implications of mediated action for a sociocultural analysis of the mind, as well as for some of today's most pressing social issues. Wertsch's investigation of forms of mediated action such as stereotypes and historical narratives provide valuable new insights into issues such as the mastery, appropriation, and resistance of culture. By providing an analytic unit that has the possibility of operating at the crossroads of various disciplines, Mind as Action will be important reading for academics, students, and researchers in psychology, linguistics, cognitive science, sociology, literary analysis, and philosophy.

Written by the preeminent democratic theorist of our time, this book explains the nature, value, and mechanics of democracy. In a new introduction to this Veritas edition, Ian Shapiro considers how Dahl would respond to the ongoing challenges democracy faces in the modern world. “Within the liberal democratic camp there is considerable controversy about exactly how to define democracy. Probably the most influential voice among contemporary political scientists in this debate has been that of Robert Dahl.”—Marc Plattner, New York Times “An excellent introduction for novices, as well as a trusty handbook for experts and political science mavens.”—Publishers Weekly

La presente «Contribución a la genealogía del pensamiento posmetafísico» es también «una historia de la filosofía siguiendo el hilo conductor del discurso sobre fe y saber». Desde la atención a la religión como figura actual del espíritu objetivo en la sociedad postsecular, muestra cómo la filosofía occidental ha incorporado a lo largo de su historia, en la forma de procesos de aprendizaje, contenidos religiosos, transformándolos en un saber capaz de justificación racional. Esta consideración apunta a la pregunta de cuál pueda ser hoy todavía una adecuada comprensión de la tarea de la filosofía. Este primer volumen sienta las bases del estudio del camino evolutivo occidental desde la comparación de las imágenes del mundo de la era axial, pasando por la simbiosis de fe y saber en el platonismo cristiano y su progresiva diferenciación en la Europa medieval, hasta la via moderna, que abre los cauces filosóficos hacia la modernidad.

In this expanded edition of The Evil of Banality, Elizabeth Minnich argues for a tragic yet hopeful explanation of “extensive evil,” her term for systematic, normalized harm-doing on the scale of genocide, slavery, sexualized dominance. The book now includes a new preface, new chapter, and expanded afterword addressing ongoing extensive evils, the paradox of lying, and the importance of developing the thinking without which conscience remains mute. Extensive evils are actually carried out not by psychopaths, but by people like your quiet next-door neighbor, your ambitious colleagues. There simply are not enough moral monsters to do the long hard work of extensive evils, nor enough saints for extensive good. In periods of extensive evil, people little different from you and me do its work for no more than a better job, a raise, the house of the family “disappeared” last week. So how can there be hope? Such evils are neither mysterious nor demonic. If we avoid romanticizing both the worst and best of which humans are capable, we can recognize and say no to extensive evil, practice and sustain extensive good, where they must take root – in ordinary lives.

A causa della rivoluzione digitale, negli ultimi anni il concetto di vulnerabilità ha acquisito rilevanza nel dibattito sia pubblico sia accademico, in particolare con la diffusione delle Tecnologie dell’Informazione e della Comunicazione (TIC) e dell’Intelligenza Artificiale (IA). Siamo infatti inseriti in una rete di relazioni che sfugge al nostro controllo, esponendoci a rischi nuovi per la nostra autonomia e libertà. In quali modi ci scopriamo oggi vulnerabili al cospetto delle nuove tecnologie? Quali aspetti dovrebbe assumere un’etica che tiene conto di queste forme impensate di fragilità e dipendenza? Il saggio si propone di rispondere a queste domande partendo dal presupposto che proprio una rinnovata riflessione sulla vulnerabilità rappresenta la base per un’etica delle TIC e dell’IA. La vulnerabilità quindi non è presa in esame soltanto nella sua funzione descrittiva ma anche come punto di partenza per cambiare il nostro attuale rapporto con le nuove tecnologie. La struttura tripartita del testo riproduce le tre differenti angolazioni da cui Silvia Dadà ha scelto di indagare la questione: storico-filosofica, etico-normativa e bioetica.

In the study of language, as in any other systematic study, there is no neutral terminology. Every technical term is an expression of the assumptions and theoretical presuppositions of its users; and in this introduction, we want to clarify some of the issues that have surrounded the assumptions behind the use of the two terms "speech acts" and "pragmatics". The notion of a speech act is fairly well understood. The theory of speech acts starts with the assumption that the minimal unit of human communica tion is not a sentence or other expression, but rather the performance of certain kinds of acts, such as making statements, asking questions, giving orders, describing, explaining, apologizing, thanking, congratulating, etc. Characteristically, a speaker performs one or more of these acts by uttering a sentence or sentences; but the act itself is not to be confused with a sentence or other expression uttered in its performance. Such types of acts as those exemplified above are called,following Austin, illocutionary acts, and they are standardly contrasted in the literature with certain other types of acts such as perlocutionary acts and propositional acts. Perlocutionary acts have to do with those effects which our utterances have on hearers which go beyond the hearer's understanding of the utterance. Such acts as convincing, persuading, annoying, amusing, and frightening are all cases of perlocutionary acts.

Este libro reflexiona sobre el talante decididamente autoritario que asumió parte de la política argentina en la última década, y sobre los riesgos que se vislumbran para la continuidad del sistema democrático en la etapa implosiva en la que está ingresando el capitalismo global. El hilo conductor de los artículos que lo integran —algunos ya publicados, otros hasta ahora inéditos— es el funcionamiento del liberalismo en tanto ideología, las narrativas en las que se plasma, las subjetividades que alimenta. La primera parte analiza diversos aspectos del antiperonismo: su conexión con el antipopulismo, la matriz común de ambos en la tradición liberal, su tendencia a caer en la autodenigración nacional y su papel en el ascenso del macrismo. La segunda intenta relacionar esas discusiones con fenómenos que ocurren a nivel global, en particular con el atractivo que ha ganado la derecha radicalizada en diversos países. Los textos giran aquí en torno de los microfascismos, los puntos de contacto entre liberalismo y conservadurismo y entre ambos y las visiones reaccionarias. El epílogo argumenta que presenciamos el avance de un "individualismo autoritario", término que el autor propone, en debate con otros enfoques disponibles, para denominar la subjetividad emergente, sobre la que este volumen se propone advertir.

Brought together for the first time - the seminal writing on architecture by key philosophers and cultural theorist of the twentieth century. Issues around the built environment are increasingly central to the study of the social sciences and humanities. The essays offer a refreshing take on the question of architecture and provocatively rethink many of the accepted tenets of architecture theory from a broader cultural perspective. The book represents a careful selection of the very best theoretical writings on the ideas which have shaped our cities and our experiences of architecture. As such, Rethinking Architecture provides invaluable core source material for students on a range of courses.

The most general goal of this book is to propose and illustrate a program of research in word semantics that combines some of the methodology and results in linguistic semantics, primarily that of the generative semantics school, with the rigorously formalized syntactic and semantic framework for the analysis of natural languages developed by Richard Montague and his associates, a framework in which truth and denotation with respect to a model are taken as the fundamental semantic notions. I hope to show, both from the linguist's and the philosopher's point of view, not only why this synthesis can be undertaken but also why it will be useful to pursue it. On the one hand, the linguists' decompositions of word meanings into more primitive parts are by themselves inherently incomplete, in that they deal only in distinctions in meaning without providing an account of what mean ings really are. Not only can these analyses be made complete by a model theoretic semantics, but also such an account of these analyses renders them more exact and more readily testable than they could ever be otherwise.

INTRODUCCIÓN A LA FILOSOFÍA DE LAS CIENCIAS COGNITIVAS tiene el objetivo de ofrecer un panorama general de las principales propuestas, los diversos problemas y los desafíos recientes de la filosofía de las ciencias cognitivas. Surge de la necesidad de tener una puerta de acceso en español a las reflexiones filosóficas sobre los fundamentos, los enfoques, las explicaciones y las capacidades de la mente, cuestiones que constituyen el corazón de los desarrollos en ciencias cognitivas. Esta introducción será útil no solo en el ámbito académico, como material bibliográfico para estudiantes e investigadores, sino también para un público más amplio, esto es, para todo aquel que se interese por las cuestiones filosóficas que suscita la investigación de la cognición humana. En este sentido, pretende llenar un vacío en la literatura sobre el tema en español y constituirse en una herramienta conceptual rigurosa para toda la región iberoamericana.

El filósofo y jurista americano Ronald Dworkin (1931-2013) presenta en este libro, una de las obras cumbre de la teoría del derecho actual, la articulación más acabada de su pensamiento jurídico. Esta nueva edición incluye también un estudio preliminar firmado por Juan Iosa y Pablo A. Rapetti, «El imperio del desacuerdo», que contribuye a dimensionar y a reivindicar las aportaciones de Dworkin en su crítica al positivismo jurídico y su propia concepción del derecho. Vivimos según el derecho. El derecho nos convierte en lo que somos: ciudadanos y empleados, doctores y cónyuges, personas que poseen cosas. El derecho es espada, escudo y amenaza: reclamamos nuestro salario, nos negamos a pagar el alquiler, debemos afrontar multas o nos encierran en la cárcel, todo en nombre de lo que este etéreo y abstracto soberano ha ordenado. «¿Cómo puede mandar el derecho cuando los textos legales son silenciosos, confusos o ambiguos?», se pregunta el autor. Este libro despliega en toda su extensión la respuesta que Dworkin desarrolló a lo largo de los años: que el razonamiento jurídico es un ejercicio de interpretación constructiva, que nuestro derecho consiste en la mejor justificación de nuestras prácticas jurídicas como un todo —la narración que convierte a estas prácticas en lo mejor que pueden ser—.

« En décembre 2013, j'ai couvert la guerre en Centrafrique aux premiers jours de l'intervention française, l'opération Sangaris. J'étais accompagné d'une jeune photographe, Camille Lepage. Un samedi matin, nous avons assisté à un lynchage. Ce n'étaient pas des soldats russes ou syriens. Ce n'étaient ni des miliciens ni des djihadistes, pas plus que des Nazis ni des tortionnaires français de la guerre d'Algérie. C'étaient des femmes et des hommes de la rue, des gens comme vous et moi. Avec Camille, nous avons été entraînés par ce courant ultra-violent de gens ordinaires. Elle en est morte. » Comment faire l'expérience de la violence extrême sans en être soi-même changé ? Reporter de guerre, Laurent Larcher livre un récit haletant, au coeur des ténèbres, pour comprendre la mort d'une jeune photojournaliste. Du théâtre grec à René Girard, de Michel Foucault au grand roman américain, l'auteur confronte les textes à son expérience des violences de masse, cherchant à cerner cette soif de sang qui bat dans l'histoire de l'humanité.

The main aim of this book is to introduce a group of models and modelling of information and knowledge comprehensibly. Such models and the processes for how to create them help to improve the skills to analyse and structure thoughts and ideas, to become more precise, to gain a deeper understanding of the matter being modelled, and to assist with specific tasks where modelling helps, such as reading comprehension and summarisation of text. The book draws ideas and transferrable approaches from the plethora of types of models and the methods, techniques, tools, procedures, and methodologies to create them in computer science. This book covers five principal declarative modelling approaches to model information and knowledge for different, yet related, purposes. It starts with entry-level mind mapping, to proceed to biological models and diagrams, onward to conceptual data models in software development, and from there to ontologies in artificial intelligence and all the way toontology in philosophy. Each successive chapter about a type of model solves limitations of the preceding one and turns up the analytical skills a notch. These what-and-how for each type of model is followed by an integrative chapter that ties them together, comparing their strengths and key characteristics, ethics in modelling, and how to design a modelling language. In so doing, we’ll address key questions such as: what type of models are there? How do you build one? What can you do with a model? Which type of model is best for what purpose? Why do all that modelling? The intended audience for this book is professionals, students, and academics in disciplines where systematic information modelling and knowledge representation is much less common than in computing, such as in commerce, biology, law, and humanities. And if a computer science student or a software developer needs a quick refresher on conceptual data models or a short solid overview of ontologies, then this bookwill serve them well.

The French social philosopher Pierre Bourdieu is now recognised as one of the major thinkers of the twentieth century. In a career of over fifty years, Bourdieu studied a wide range of topics: education, culture, art, politics, economics, literature, law, and philosophy. Throughout these studies, Bourdieu developed a highly specialised series of concepts that he referred to as his "thinking tools", which were used to uncover the workings of contemporary society. Pierre Bourdieu: Key Concepts highlights his most important concepts and examines them in detail. Each chapter deals with an individual concept and is written to be of immediate use to the student with little or no previous knowledge of Bourdieu. This new edition of the leading text is entirely revised and updated and includes new essays on Methodology, Politics and Social Space.

“I’ve gained deeper understanding listening to Rupert Spira than I have from any other exponent of modern spirituality. Reality is sending us a message we desperately need to hear, and at this moment no messenger surpasses Spira and the transformative words in his essays.” —Deepak Chopra, author of You Are the Universe, Spiritual Solutions, and Super Brain Our world culture is founded on the assumption that the Big Bang gave rise to matter, which in time evolved into the world, into which the body was born, inside which a brain appeared, out of which consciousness at some late stage developed. As a result of this “matter model,” most of us believe that consciousness is a property of the body. We feel that it is “I,” this body, that knows or is aware of the world. We believe and feel that the knowing with which we are aware of our experience is located in and shares the limits and destiny of the body. This is the fundamental presumption of mind and matter that underpins almost all our thoughts and feelings and is expressed in our activities and relationships. The Nature of Consciousness suggests that the matter model has outlived its function and is now destroying the very values it once sought to promote. For many people, the debate as to the ultimate reality of the universe is an academic one, far removed from the concerns and demands of everyday life. After all, life happens independently of our models of it. However, The Nature of Consciousness will clearly show that the materialist paradigm is a philosophy of despair and, as such, the root cause of unhappiness in individuals. It is a philosophy of conflict and, as such, the root cause of hostilities between families, communities, and nations. Far from being abstract and philosophical, its implications touch each one of us directly and intimately. An exploration of the nature of consciousness has the power to reveal the peace and happiness that truly lie at the heart of experience. Our experience never ceases to change, but the knowing element in all experience—consciousness, or what we call “I”—itself never changes. The knowing with which all experience is known is always the same knowing. Being the common, unchanging element in all experience, consciousness does not share the qualities of any particular experience: it is not qualified, conditioned, or limited by experience. The knowing with which a feeling of loneliness or sorrow is known is the same knowing with which the thought of a friend, the sight of a sunset, or the taste of ice cream is known. Just as a screen is never disturbed by the action in a movie, so consciousness is never disturbed by experience; thus it is inherently peaceful. The peace that is inherent in us—indeed that is us—is not dependent on the situations or conditions we find ourselves in. In a series of essays that draw you, through your own direct experience, into an exploration of the nature of this knowing element that each of us calls “I,” The Nature of Consciousness posits that consciousness is the fundamental reality of the apparent duality of mind and matter. It shows that the overlooking or ignoring of this reality is the root cause of the existential unhappiness that pervades and motivates most people’s lives, as well as the wider conflicts that exist between communities and nations. Conversely, the book suggests that the recognition of the fundamental reality of consciousness is the first step in the quest for lasting happiness and the foundation for world peace.

**THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER** In a world that seems so troubled, how do we hold on to hope? Looking at the headlines—the worsening climate crisis, a global pandemic, loss of biodiversity, political upheaval—it can be hard to feel optimistic. And yet hope has never been more desperately needed. In this urgent book, Jane Goodall, the world's most famous living naturalist, and Douglas Abrams, the internationally bestselling co-author of The Book of Joy, explore through intimate and thought-provoking dialogue one of the most sought after and least understood elements of human nature: hope. In The Book of Hope, Jane focuses on her "Four Reasons for Hope": The Amazing Human Intellect, The Resilience of Nature, The Power of Young People, and The Indomitable Human Spirit. Drawing on decades of work that has helped expand our understanding of what it means to be human and what we all need to do to help build a better world, The Book of Hope touches on vital questions, including: How do we stay hopeful when everything seems hopeless? How do we cultivate hope in our children? What is the relationship between hope and action? Filled with moving and inspirational stories and photographs from Jane’s remarkable career, The Book of Hope is a deeply personal conversation with one of the most beloved figures in the world today. While discussing the experiences that shaped her discoveries and beliefs, Jane tells the story of how she became a messenger of hope, from living through World War II to her years in Gombe to realizing she had to leave the forest to travel the world in her role as an advocate for environmental justice. And for the first time, she shares her profound revelations about her next, and perhaps final, adventure. The second book in the Global Icons Series—which launched with the instant classic The Book of Joy with His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu—The Book of Hope is a rare and intimate look not only at the nature of hope but also into the heart and mind of a woman who revolutionized how we view the world around us and has spent a lifetime fighting for our future. There is still hope, and this book will help guide us to it.

"Clarividência" é um livro escrito por Charles Webster Leadbeater, publicado originalmente em 1899. Neste texto, Leadbeater explora o fenômeno da clarividência, ou seja, a capacidade de ver além da percepção sensorial comum, alcançando níveis sutis de realidade e acessando o mundo espiritual e energético. O livro é uma tentativa de explicar e categorizar os diferentes tipos de clarividência, descrevendo tanto as suas manifestações quanto os métodos pelos quais uma pessoa pode desenvolver essa habilidade. É uma obra central dentro do campo do ocultismo e da teosofia, oferecendo uma visão detalhada das possibilidades da percepção extrassensorial. O autor divide a clarividência em três tipos principais: a simples (ver eventos ou objetos à distância), a no tempo (visões do passado ou futuro) e a superior (ver planos espirituais e energéticos). Leadbeater descreve métodos para desenvolver essa habilidade, como meditação e prática espiritual, enfatizando a necessidade de preparação ética e emocional. Ele alerta sobre os perigos do uso egoísta dessa capacidade e defende que a clarividência deve ser buscada como parte do crescimento espiritual. O livro combina exemplos práticos e explicações teosóficas, propondo que a clarividência é uma habilidade latente em todos os seres humanos. Embora tenha recebido críticas por falta de comprovação científica, "Clarividência" é uma obra influente entre ocultistas e espiritualistas, oferecendo uma visão acessível sobre o desenvolvimento de habilidades psíquicas. Primorosa tradução de Fernando Pessoa.

The frequency of new editions of this book is indicative of the rapid and trem- dous changes in the fields of computer and information sciences. First published in 1995, the book has rapidly gone through three editions already and now we are in the fourth. Over this period, we have become more dependent on computer and telecommunication technology than ever before and computer technology has become ubiquitous. Since I started writing on social computing, I have been ad- cating a time when we, as individuals and as nations, will become totally dependent on computing technology. That time is almost on us. Evidence of this is embodied in the rapid convergence of telecommunication, broadcasting, and computing devices; the miniaturization of these devices; and the ever increasing storage capacity , speed of computation, and ease of use. These qualities have been a big pulling force sucking in millions of new users every day, sometimes even those unwilling. Other appealing features of these devices are the increasing number of applications, apps, as they are increasingly becoming known, and being wireless and easily portable. Whether small or big, these new gizmos have become the c- terpiece of an individual’s social and economic activities and the main access point for all information. Individuals aside, computing technology has also become the engine that drives the nations’ strategic and security infrastructures that control power grids, gas and oil storage facilities, transportation, and all forms of national communication, including emergency services.

En el panorama del conocimiento humano, las fronteras entre ciencia y filosofía son cada vez más permeables, dando lugar a diálogos inesperados entre mundos aparentemente distantes. En este libro pretendemos explorar la fascinante intersección entre las filosofías orientales, con especial atención al budismo, y los modernos descubrimientos de la física cuántica. El objetivo es claro: esbozar cómo los conocimientos milenarios de tradiciones como el budismo pueden arrojar nueva luz sobre las teorías cuánticas, planteando profundas cuestiones sobre la naturaleza de la realidad, la percepción y la propia existencia. Este libro es el primero de una trilogía centrada en el budismo, el hinduismo y el taoísmo. Los temas tratados ponen de relieve las similitudes entre estos sistemas de pensamiento y los principios fundamentales de la física cuántica. Las similitudes son asombrosas. En el budismo, el concepto de impermanencia es fundamental. Todo lo que existe está en constante cambio, nada es estático. Del mismo modo, la física cuántica nos enseña que, a nivel subatómico, las partículas no existen en estados definidos, sino en estados probabilísticos. Por ejemplo, la famosa dualidad onda-partícula sugiere que las partículas también pueden comportarse como ondas, desafiando nuestra comprensión tradicional de la materia física. El principio de interdependencia subraya cómo cada fenómeno está conectado con todos los demás. En física cuántica, el fenómeno del entrelazamiento cuántico ilustra esa red de relaciones entre partículas. Cuando dos partículas están entrelazadas, un cambio en el estado de una afecta instantáneamente a la otra, incluso a grandes distancias, proponiendo un vínculo que trasciende las barreras espacio-temporales. Una parte importante está dedicada a la ilusión del ego (Anatta): El budismo enseña que la sensación de un yo separado es una ilusión. En física cuántica, nuestra percepción de la realidad es igualmente ilusoria. Muchos descubrimientos científicos revelan que nuestra observación altera la realidad observada. La famosa experiencia de la doble rendija, por ejemplo, muestra cómo la mera observación de partículas cuánticas altera su comportamiento. En cuanto a la meditación y la atención plena, se sabe que las prácticas meditativas budistas promueven una visión contemplativa de la realidad, permitiendo a los practicantes seguir caminos que van más allá de la apariencia de las cosas. Científicos contemporáneos, como el físico David Bohm, han sugerido que lo que vemos como "realidad" puede ser sólo una imagen superficial de un orden más profundo similar a los estados de conciencia que se alcanzan mediante la meditación. Para ilustrar estas afinidades, conviene citar el diálogo entre el físico Niels Bohr y el filósofo budista Daisetsu Teitarō Suzuki. Bohr, considerado uno de los padres de la física cuántica, encontró una sorprendente resonancia en los conceptos orientales. En una de sus célebres citas, dijo: "La física no es una descripción de la realidad, sino una construcción de nuestro pensamiento". Esto recuerda a la visión budista de la percepción como reflejo de nuestra mente. Otro testimonio significativo procede del físico Fritjof Capra, cuyo libro "El Tao de la Física" explora las similitudes entre la física moderna y las filosofías orientales, incluidos el budismo y el taoísmo. Capra sugiere que la realidad cuántica invoca una interpretación de la materia no como una colección de objetos sólidos, sino como un campo de energías, en perfecta armonía con el pensamiento budista sobre la impermanencia. En este primer volumen hemos trazado los contornos de una conexión profunda y transformadora entre el budismo y la física cuántica. Explorar estas relaciones no sólo enriquece nuestra comprensión de la ciencia, sino que invita a una reflexión más profunda sobre cómo percibimos la realidad. En un mundo cada vez más complejo, los principios budistas ofrecen una perspectiva vital de una nueva visión de nuestro lugar en el universo: un espacio de interconexión, impermanencia y conciencia. En futuros volúmenes, continuaremos por este camino, sumergiéndonos aún más en la oscuridad y la luz de otras tradiciones filosóficas orientales, descubriendo nuevas dimensiones en este fascinante diálogo entre la sabiduría antigua y los descubrimientos modernos.

It has seemed necessary to make the most additions to the original treatise under the subjects of the Wages Question; of Wages of Superintendence; of Socialism; of Cost of Production; of Bimetallism; of the Paper Money experiments in this country; of International Values; of the Future of the Laboring-Classes (in which the chapter was entirely rewritten); and of Protection. The treatment of Land Tenures has not been entirely omitted, but it does not appear as a separate subject, because it has at present less value as an elementary study for American students. The chapters on Land Tenures, the English currency discussion, and much of Book V, on the Influence of Government, have been simply omitted. In one case I have changed the order of the chapters, by inserting Chap. XV of Book III, treating of a standard of value, under the chapter treating of money and its functions. In other respects, the same order has been followed as in the original work. To interest the reader in home problems, twenty-four charts have been scattered throughout the volume, which bear upon our own conditions, with the expectation, also, that the different methods of graphic representation here presented would lead students to apply them to other questions. They are mainly such as I have employed in my class-room. The use and preparation of such charts ought to be encouraged. The earlier pages of the volume have been given up to a “Sketch of the History of Political Economy,” which aims to give the story of how we have arrived at our present knowledge of economic laws. The student who has completed Mill will then have a very considerable bibliography of the various schools and writers from which to select further reading, and to select this reading so that it may not fall wholly within the range of one class of writers. But, for the time that Mill is being first studied, I have added a list of the most important books for consultation. I have also collected, in Appendix I, some brief bibliographies on the Tariff, on Bimetallism, and on American Shipping, which may be of use to those who may not have the means of inquiring for authorities, and in Appendix II a number of questions and problems for the teacher's use.

Totalitarismus ist kein Zufall und bildet sich nicht in einem Vakuum. Der Ursprung liegt in dem Phänomen der "Massenbildung", einer Art kollektiver Psychose. Mit detaillierten Analysen, Beispielen und Ergebnissen aus jahrelanger Forschung legt Mattias Desmet die Schritte dar, die zur Massenbildung führen: Aus einem allgemeinen Gefühl der Einsamkeit und des Mangels an sozialen Bindungen und Sinnhaftigkeit entstehen Ängste und Unzufriedenheit, die sich wiederum in Frustration und Aggression manifestieren. Diese werden von Regierungsvertretern und Massenmedien mithilfe von bestimmten Narrativen geschickt ausgenutzt und kanalisiert. In der Folge dehnt sich der Einfluss des Staates auf das Privatleben des Individuums immer mehr aus. Neben einer glasklaren psychologischen Analyse und aufbauend auf Hannah Arendts grundlegendem Werk Elemente und Ursprünge totaler Herrschaft formuliert der Autor auch eine scharfe Kritik am kulturellen "Gruppendenken" und der Angstkultur – die bereits vor der Pandemie existierten, mit der COVID-Krise aber exponentiell zugenommen haben –, warnt vor den Gefahren unseres Medienkonsums und unserer Abhängigkeit von manipulativen Technologien. Dabei zeigt er aber auch sowohl individuelle als auch kollektive Lösungsansätze auf, um zu verhindern, dass wir unsere Freiheiten freiwillig opfern.

When many people are involved in an activity, it is often difficult, if not impossible, to pinpoint who is morally responsible for what, a phenomenon known as the ‘problem of many hands.’ This term is increasingly used to describe problems with attributing individual responsibility in collective settings in such diverse areas as public administration, corporate management, law and regulation, technological development and innovation, healthcare, and finance. This volume provides an in-depth philosophical analysis of this problem, examining the notion of moral responsibility and distinguishing between different normative meanings of responsibility, both backward-looking (accountability, blameworthiness, and liability) and forward-looking (obligation, virtue). Drawing on the relevant philosophical literature, the authors develop a coherent conceptualization of the problem of many hands, taking into account the relationship, and possible tension, between individual and collective responsibility. This systematic inquiry into the problem of many hands pertains to discussions about moral responsibility in a variety of applied settings.

New York Times bestselling author Sam Harris’s first book, The End of Faith, ignited a worldwide debate about the validity of religion. In the aftermath, Harris discovered that most people—from religious fundamentalists to non-believing scientists—agree on one point: science has nothing to say on the subject of human values. Indeed, our failure to address questions of meaning and morality through science has now become the primary justification for religious faith. In this highly controversial book, Sam Harris seeks to link morality to the rest of human knowledge. Defining morality in terms of human and animal well-being, Harris argues that science can do more than tell how we are; it can, in principle, tell us how we ought to be. In his view, moral relativism is simply false—and comes at an increasing cost to humanity. And the intrusions of religion into the sphere of human values can be finally repelled: for just as there is no such thing as Christian physics or Muslim algebra, there can be no Christian or Muslim morality. Using his expertise in philosophy and neuroscience, along with his experience on the front lines of our “culture wars,” Harris delivers a game-changing book about the future of science and about the real basis of human cooperation.

Professionalism and Ethics in Teaching presents a thought-provoking and stimulating study of the moral dimensions of the teaching professions. After discussing the moral implications of professionalism, Carr explores the relationship of education theory to teaching practice and the impact of this relationship on professional expertise. He then identifies and examines some central ethical and moral issues in education and teaching. Finally David Carr gives a detailed analysis of a range of issues concerning the role of the teacher and the managements of educational issues. Professionalism and Ethics in Teaching presents a thought-provoking and stimulating study of the moral dimensions of the teaching professions.

The book explores and explains the relationship between law and ethics in the context of medically related research in order to provide a practical guide to understanding for members of research ethics committees (RECs), professionals involved with medical research and those with an academic interest in the subject. Healthcare Research Ethics and Law sets out the law as it relates to the functions of Research Ethics Committees (RECs) within the context of the process of ethical review and aims to be accessible and readily understood by REC members. Each chapter begins by locating the material within the practical context of ethical review and then provides a more theoretical and analytical discussion detailing how the theory and practice fit together. The key legal issues of confidentiality, consent and negligence are addressed in detail, alongside practical guidance as to how and when liability may be incurred in these areas. In addition, the practical and legal implications of the implementation of European Directive 2001/20/EC, the Human Tissue Act 2004 and the Mental Capacity Act 2005 are considered alongside a discussion of their socio-political background and relevance for medical research in the UK.

Dieses Open-Access-Buch bündelt technische, wirtschaftliche, medizinische und ethische Reflexionen über Pflegeroboter. Pflegeroboter, im Moment noch mehrheitlich Prototypen, unterstützen oder ersetzen menschliche Pflegekräfte bzw. Betreuer. Sie bringen Kranken und Alten die benötigten Medikamente und Nahrungsmittel, helfen beim Hinlegen und Aufrichten oder alarmieren den Notdienst. Vorteile von Pflegerobotern sind durchgehende Verwendbarkeit und gleichbleibende Qualität der Dienstleistung. Nachteile sind Kostenintensität (bei möglicher Amortisation) und Komplexität der Anforderungen. Unter der wissenschaftlichen Leitung von Prof. Dr. Oliver Bendel trafen sich im September 2017 Vertreter verschiedener wissenschaftlicher Disziplinen im Rahmen eines Ladenburger Diskurses der Daimler und Benz Stiftung, um über den aktuellen und künftigen Einsatz von Pflegerobotern zu sprechen und Forschungspotenziale zu identifizieren. Die Autoren gehen in ihren Beiträgen auch Fragen aus Wirtschafts-, Medizin- und Informationsethik nach: Wer trägt die Verantwortung bei einer fehlerhaften Betreuung und Versorgung durch die Maschine? Inwieweit kann diese die persönliche und informationelle Autonomie des Patienten unterstützen oder gefährden? Ist der Roboter eine Entlastung oder ein Konkurrent für Pflegekräfte? Antworten müssen von Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft gefunden werden.

Érase una vez un grupo de libertarios que idearon el Proyecto Free Town, un plan para tomar el control de una ciudad estadounidense y eliminar por completo su gobierno. En 2004, Grafton, Nuevo Hampshire, un asentamiento apenas poblado, hizo realidad ese plan. La financiación pública de casi todo se redujo: el cuerpo de bomberos, la biblioteca, la escuela. Las leyes estatales y federales pasaron a ser suaves sugerencias. Los osos, en cambio, eran cada vez más visibles. Los ciudadanos de Grafton, amantes de la libertad, ignoraron las leyes de caza y las normas sobre gestión de los restos de comida. Y con una población local de osos grande y creciente, el conflicto se hizo inevitable.

In the sixteenth century, the saint and scholar Sri Caitanya set in motion a wave of devotion to Krishna that began in eastern India and has now found its way around the world. Caitanya taught that the highest aim of life is to develop selfless love for God Krishna, the blue-hued cowherd boy who spoke the Bhagavad Gita. Although only a handful of poetry is attributed to Caitanya, his devotional theology was expounded and systematized by his followers in a vast array of poetical, philosophical, and ritual literature. This book provides a thematic study of Caitanya Vaishnava philosophy, introducing key thinkers and ideas in the early tradition, using Sanskrit and Bengali sources that have seldom been studied in English. The book addresses major areas of the tradition, including epistemology, ontology, aesthetics, ethics, and history, and every chapter includes relevant readings from primary sources.

Idealism is philosophy on a grand scale, combining micro and macroscopic problems into systematic accounts of everything from the nature of the universe to the particulars of human feeling. In consequence, it offers perspectives on everything from the natural to the social sciences, from ecology to critical theory. Heavily criticised by the dominant philosophies of the 20th Century, Idealism is now being reconsidered as a rich and untapped resource for contemporary philosophical arguments and concepts. This volume provides a comprehensive portrait of the major arguments and philosophers in the Idealist tradition. The book demonstrates how Idealist philosophy provides a fruitful way of understanding contemporary issues in metaphysics, the philosophy of science, political philosophy, scientific theory and critical social theory.

Öffentliche Szenen der Bitte um Vergebung, des Geständnisses und der Reue – die Inszenierung der Schuld scheint von der Bühne des Politischen nicht mehr wegzudenken. Gleichzeitig mehren sich die Stimmen, welche das Vergeben zu einer therapeutischen Kraft erklären, die uns in die Lage versetzen soll, uns selbst von der Last des Vergangenen zu befreien. Aus philosophischer Sicht werfen diese Tendenzen eine Reihe von Fragen auf: Muss man gegenüber der Neigung, das Vergeben vorschnell zu einem Können und einer Kompetenz zu erklären, nicht darauf beharren, dass es Unverzeihliches gibt, bestimmte Taten also, von denen man schlechthin nicht sieht, wie sie jemals vergeben werden können? Gerät eine Vergebung, die an eine bestimmte Bedingung oder einen bestimmten Zweck geknüpft wird, nicht zu einem bloßen Tauschgeschäft? Wie steht es um das Verhältnis zwischen Vergebung und Gerechtigkeit? Kann es eine Politik der Vergebung geben? Diese Fragen markieren den Problemhorizont, in dem sich Fabian Bernhardts Buch Zur Vergebung bewegt. Seine Grundlage bildet eine genaue Lektüre und behutsame Weiterführung der Überlegungen, die der französische Philosoph Paul Ricœur (1913–2005) in seinem geschichtsphilosophischen Spätwerk entwickelt hat. Flankiert werden Ricœurs Überlegungen von den Positionen anderer Denker/innen des 20. Jahrhunderts, wie Hannah Arendt, Vladimir Jankélévitch und Jacques Derrida. Geleitet von der Überzeugung, dass eine Reflexion auf die Vergebung nicht umhin kann, sich am Prüfstein des Unverzeihlichen zu messen, sondiert Bernhardt den Abstand zwischen der Tiefe einer unverzeihlichen Schuld und der Höhe einer bedingungslosen Vergebung.

This book is based on a simple concept: no one is in a better position to hold a government accountable than those it governs. When governments fail to meet the needs of their citizens, the international community often turns to large external organizations such as the International Monetary Fund or the World Bank. These analysts and monitors may have the resources and expertise to analyze and advise on public spending and governance, but where do they go when the time comes to implement new policies? And can they really have a more nuanced understanding of the country's problems than its own citizens? Who is there to watch day and night to hold the government accountable? From the Ground Up proposes that the international community's efforts to improve public expenditure and budget execution decisions would be more effective if done in collaboration with local independent monitoring organizations. Stephen Kosack, Courtney Tolmie, and Charles Griffin track the work of sixteen independent monitoring organizations from across the developing world, demonstrating how these relatively small groups of local researchers produce both thoughtful analysis and workable solutions. They achieve these results because their vantage point allows them to more effectively discern problems with governance and to communicate with their fellow citizens about the ideals and methods of good governance. The authors also outline some disadvantages facing independent monitoring organizations, such as insufficient resources, inadequate access to data, and too little influence with high government officials. Collaboration with larger international organizations could help independent monitoring organizations overcome such obstacles, increasing their chances of improving governance—from the ground up.

She draws on qualitative research to explore the implications of this claim for the dynamics of post-national identity and belonging in local communities.

Although researchers have long been aware that the species-typical architecture of the human mind is the product of our evolutionary history, it has only been in the last three decades that advances in such fields as evolutionary biology, cognitive psychology, and paleoanthropology have made the fact of our evolution illuminating. Converging findings from a variety of disciplines are leading to the emergence of a fundamentally new view of the human mind, and with it a new framework for the behavioral and social sciences. First, with the advent of the cognitive revolution, human nature can finally be defined precisely as the set of universal, species-typical information-processing programs that operate beneath the surface of expressed cultural variability. Second, this collection of cognitive programs evolved in the Pleistocene to solve the adaptive problems regularly faced by our hunter-gatherer ancestors--problems such as mate selection, language acquisition, cooperation, and sexual infidelity. Consequently, the traditional view of the mind as a general-purpose computer, tabula rasa, or passive recipient of culture is being replaced by the view that the mind resembles an intricate network of functionally specialized computers, each of which imposes contentful structure on human mental organization and culture. The Adapted Mind explores this new approach--evolutionary psychology--and its implications for a new view of culture.

A definitive guide to contemporary video game studies, this second edition has been fully revised and updated to address the ongoing theoretical and methodological development of game studies.

“Tetapi apa yang kita ‘cutat’ dari Kalam Allah dan Sunnah Rasul itu? Bukan apinya, bukan nyalanya, bukan flame-nya, tetapi abunya, debunya, asbesnya.” (Ir. Soekarno) “Umat Islam terlalu menganggap fiqh itu satu-satunya tiang keagamaan. Kita lupa, atau kita tidak mau tahu, bahwa tiang keagamaan ialah terutama sekali terletak di dalam ketundukan kita punya jiwa kepada Allah. Kita lupa bahwa fiqh itu, walaupun sudah kita saring semurni-murninya, belum mencukupi semua kehendak agama Islam. Maka benarlah perkataan Halide Edib Hanum, bahwa Islam di zaman akhir-akhir ini ‘bukan lagi pemimpin hidup, tetapi agama pokrol-bambu’. Janganlah kita kira diri kita sudah mukmin, tetapi hendaklah kita insyaf, bahwa banyak di kalangan kita yang Islamnya masih Islam Sontoloyo!” (Ir. Soekarno) Sebuah buku besar warisan presiden pertama kita, yang sangat relevan, akan selalu relevan, dengan realitas dan pergumulan wacana keislaman kita hari ini.

«Massa confidencial» habla de Sergio Massa, ciertamente. Pero también habla sobre la Justicia argentina, y sobre el periodismo, y la política, y todo lo demás. Porque aturde el silencio persistente sobre sus trapisondas, y permite entender por qué la Argentina es un país inviable. No es algo casual ni anecdótico, es parte del ser nacional, que prefiere mirar para otro lado mientras el latrocinio avanza sin prisa, pero sin pausa. Massa es el espejo más incómodo de los argentinos. Un tipo canchero, ventajero, contradictorio… y bien corrupto. Con altas chances de ser el próximo presidente de la Nación. ¿Qué más se puede agregar? Este libro no busca ser la biografía del hoy ministro de Economía, ni mucho menos. Solo son un rejunte de «postales» de sus escándalos menos conocidos. Sus vínculos con el mundo narco, su injustificado enriquecimiento patrimonial e incluso los nombres de sus testaferros. Pero hay mucho más: esta obra revela qué se esconde detrás del sospechoso robo que sufrió en su vivienda en 2013. También el financiamiento secreto de su campaña a través del uso de fondos públicos de Trenes Argentinos. Y mucho más. Sean ustedes bienvenidos a un viaje sin retorno, no apto para almas sensibles…

This book explores the increasing political and social prominence of Islamist groups across the Middle East in recent years. The aftermath of the 2011 uprisings saw some groups access or even control political institutions through success at the ballot box, while there has also been a marked resurgence of armed Islamist groups that have had profound effects at both the national and regional level. This volume helps us to understand the nature and development of organised political Islam over recent decades in several key Arab and Mediterranean countries: Mauritania, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, the Palestinian Territories, and Turkey. The book identifies the central social and political Islamist actors, traces their ideological differences and similarities, and analyses power relations both within and between these organizations in the context of political instability and uncertainty. It will be of interest to students and scholars across a broad range of disciplines including political science, sociology, and international relations.

Al-Rawd al-’Athir fi’ Nuzhat al-Khathir, karangan Syaikh al Imam al-Allamah al-Humam Sayiddi Muhammad al Nafzawi, Diperkirakan buku ini ditulis pada awal abad 16 Masehi atau sekitar tahun 925 Hijrah Pengarang buku ini lahir di Nafzawi suatu tempat yang berada di pinggir Danau Sebkha Melrir, Tunisia. Ia dikenal sebagai ulama yang menguasai fiqih dan hadist serta ilmu pengobatan Beliau menulis buku ini setelah melakukan riset mendalam tentang hubungan antara laki-laki dan perempuan, untuk menjelaskan prinsip-prinsip apa saja yang dapat membahagiakan laki-laki dan perempuan, berdasarkan karakter, temperamen, dan kesehatannya. Buku bukanlah 100% karya orisinal Syaikh al Nafzawi, beliau banyak mengkompulasi dari sumber-sumber lain, seperti hikayat Arab dan juga dari karya tulis India. Bukunya bisa dikatakan sangat lengkap membahas berbagai hal tentang seks, seni bercinta dan juga tentang pengobatan yang berkaitan dengannya, dan juga beberapa hikayat serta anekdot. Tidak diragukan Syaikh al Nafzawi pada bukunya ini dia bukan hanya sekedar sex therapyst, tetapi juga memiliki pengetahuan anatomi manusia yang mendalam dan menguasai ilmu kedokteran, serta pengetahuan agama yang mendalam. Buku ini terdiri dari 20 Bab. Dimulai dengan pembahasan tentang Laki-laki dan Perempuan, kemudian adab berjima yang berisi penjelasan tentang foreplay, selanjutnya dibahas tentang gaya dan posisi berjima yang terdiri dari 11 cara berjima dan 25 gaya berjima, dibahas juga gerakan jima, bab selanjutnya tentang kehamilan,dan pengobatan. Pada tahun 1850 buku tersebut diterjemahkan ke dalam bahasa Perancis oleh pegawai kolonialis Perancis di Tunisia. Buku tersebut menimbulkan kehebohan, terutama kalangan gereja. Pada saat itu masyarakat Eropa dan khususnya gereja, memandang seks sebagai sesuatu yang kotor dan dosa (sex is a sin), dan tabu membicarakannya. Karenanya fihak gereja menetapkan posisi seks suami istri hanya boleh dilakukan dengan gaya misionary position dan harus dilakukan secepat mungkin. Berbeda dengan pandangan islam, seks bukanlah sesuatu yang kotor, tetapi suci dan bahkan bernilai ibadah,dengan syarat dilakukan oleh suami istri yang sah telah menikah. Membicarakan seks bukanlah hal yang tabu dalam islam. Ada beberapa hadis-hadis dan pendapat para ulama yang berisi panduan dari Rasulullah SAW , para sahabat dan para ulama tentang hubungan suami istri. Berikut ini beberapa di antaranya. Ada hadis yang menjelaskan bahwa dalam hubungan suami istri hendaknya dilakukan dengan pendahuluan terlebih dahulu, atau dalam bahasa sekarang istilahnya adalah ‘foreplay’. Sabda Rasulullah SAW: “Janganlah antara kamu melakukan hubungan badan dengan isterinya seperti binatang. Sebaiknya mereka melakukan dua perkara terlebih dulu.” Sahabat bertanya, apa dua perkara itu? Rasulullah menjawab “kecupan dan kata-kata mesra” (Hadis riwayat Dailami). Dalam hadis tersebut nampak bahwa ada hal tentang seks yang tidak difahami oleh sahabat, sehingga kemudian mereka bertanya lalu Rasulullah SAW menjelaskan. Dari hadis ini dapat diambil pelajaran bahwa menjadi tanggung jawab bagi seorang pemimpin dan guru untuk menerangkan sesuatu yang kurang difahami dalam soal hubungan kelamin / seks, dan hal ini bukanlah sesuatu yang memalukan. Di dunia pesantren sex education diajarkan dalam bentuk nadzham (syair yang dilagukan), dan Nadzham yang populer di dunia pesantren adalah Nazham Qurotul Uyun, karangan Ibnu Yamun.

The first detailed treatment of the Chinese homosexual tradition in any Western language, Passions of the Cut Sleeve shatters preconceptions and stereotypes. Gone is the image of the sternly puritanical Confucian as sole representative of Chinese sexual practices—and with it the justification for the modern Chinese insistence that homosexuality is a recent import from the decadent West. Rediscovering the male homosexual tradition in China provides a startling new perspective on Chinese society and adds richly to our understanding of homosexuality. Bret Hinsch's reconstruction of the Chinese homosexual past reveals unexpected scenes. An emperor on his deathbed turns over the seals of the empire to a male beloved; two men marry each other with elaborate wedding rituals; parents sell their son into prostitution. The tradition portrays men from all levels of society—emperors, transvestite actors, rapists, elegant scholars, licentious monks, and even the nameless poor. Drawing from dynastic histories, erotic novels, popular Buddhist tracts, love poetry, legal cases, and joke books, Passions of the Cut Sleeve evokes the complex and fascinating male homosexual tradition in China from the Bronze Age until its decline in recent times.

From a longtime Vanity Fair writer and editor, a delightfully entertaining, intelligent, and illuminating history and tribute to teen movies—from Rebel Without a Cause to Fast Times at Ridgemont High, and on to John Hughes, Mean Girls, The Hunger Games, and more. What influence did Francis Ford Coppola have on George Lucas’s American Graffiti? And Lucas on John Singleton’s Boyz n the Hood? How does teenage sexuality in Fast Times at Ridgemont High compare to Twilight? Which teen movies pass the Bechdel test? Why is Mean Girls actually the last great teen film of the 20th century? In the same way that Peter Biskind’s Easy Riders, Raging Bulls connects the films of the 1970s to the period’s cultural upheaval, and David Hadju’s Positively 4th Street tells the story of the sixties through the emergence of folk music, Bruce Handy’s Hollywood High situates iconic teen movies within their times and reveals the intriguing stories, artists, and passions behind their creation. These films aren’t merely beloved stories; they reflect teens’ growing economic and cultural influence, societal panics, and shifting perceptions of youth in America. Much more than a nostalgia trip, Hollywood High is a lively, provocative, and affectionate cultural history, spanning nearly one hundred years. Handy, an acclaimed journalist and critic who spent two decades at Vanity Fair, examines the defining films of each generation and builds connections between them. From the Andy Hardy classics (1937–1946) to the iconic Rebel Without a Cause (1955); Beach Party series (1963–1968); American Graffiti (1973); Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982); the John Hughes touchstones Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1984–1986); Boyz N the Hood (1991); Mean Girls (2004); the Twilight saga (2008–2012); and The Hunger Games series (2012–2015); this is a captivating deep dive into the world of teen movies that captures their sweeping history and influence. We’ll hear from icons James Dean, Annette Funicello, George Lucas, Amy Heckerling, John Hughes, Molly Ringwald, John Singleton, Tina Fey, and Kristen Stewart, and discover why the most timeless teen movies resonate across generations.

This book outlines the creative responses academics are using to subvert powerful market forces that restrict university work to a neoliberal, economic focus. The second volume in a diptych of critical academic work on the changing landscape of neoliberal universities, the editors and contributors examine how academics ‘prise open the cracks’ in neoliberal logic to find space for resistance, collegiality, democracy and hope. Adopting a distinctly postcolonial positioning, the volume interrogates the link between neoliberalism and the ongoing privileging of Euro-American theorising in universities. The contributors move from accounts of unmitigated managerialism and toxic workplaces, to the need to decolonise the academy to, finally, illustrating the various creative and counter-hegemonic practices academics use to resist, subvert and reinscribe dominant neoliberal discourses. This hopeful volume will appeal to students and scholars interested in the role of universities in advancing cultural democracy, as well as university staff, academics and students.

« En décembre 2013, j'ai couvert la guerre en Centrafrique aux premiers jours de l'intervention française, l'opération Sangaris. J'étais accompagné d'une jeune photographe, Camille Lepage. Un samedi matin, nous avons assisté à un lynchage. Ce n'étaient pas des soldats russes ou syriens. Ce n'étaient ni des miliciens ni des djihadistes, pas plus que des Nazis ni des tortionnaires français de la guerre d'Algérie. C'étaient des femmes et des hommes de la rue, des gens comme vous et moi. Avec Camille, nous avons été entraînés par ce courant ultra-violent de gens ordinaires. Elle en est morte. » Comment faire l'expérience de la violence extrême sans en être soi-même changé ? Reporter de guerre, Laurent Larcher livre un récit haletant, au coeur des ténèbres, pour comprendre la mort d'une jeune photojournaliste. Du théâtre grec à René Girard, de Michel Foucault au grand roman américain, l'auteur confronte les textes à son expérience des violences de masse, cherchant à cerner cette soif de sang qui bat dans l'histoire de l'humanité.

“A blistering and truly original work of reporting and analysis, uncovering America’s role in homogenizing how the world defines wellness and healing” (Po Bronson). In Crazy Like Us, Ethan Watters reveals that the most devastating consequence of the spread of American culture has not been our golden arches or our bomb craters but our bulldozing of the human psyche itself: We are in the process of homogenizing the way the world goes mad. It is well known that American culture is a dominant force at home and abroad; our exportation of everything from movies to junk food is a well-documented phenomenon. But is it possible America's most troubling impact on the globalizing world has yet to be accounted for? American-style depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and anorexia have begun to spread around the world like contagions, and the virus is us. Traveling from Hong Kong to Sri Lanka to Zanzibar to Japan, acclaimed journalist Ethan Watters witnesses firsthand how Western healers often steamroll indigenous expressions of mental health and madness and replace them with our own. In teaching the rest of the world to think like us, we have been homogenizing the way the world goes mad.

For readers of Fantasyland and Cultish, a colorful and enlightening pop history that explains why the eccentric doomsday beliefs of our Puritan founders are still driving American culture today, contextualizes the current rise in far-right extremism as a natural result of our latent indoctrination, and proposes that the United States is the largest cult of all. Since the Mayflower sidled up to Plymouth Rock, cult ideology has been ingrained in the DNA of the United States. In this eye-opening book, journalist Jane Borden argues that Puritan doomsday belief never went away; it went secular and became American culture. From our fascination with cowboys and superheroes to our allegiance to influencers and self-help, susceptibility to advertising, and undying devotion to the self-made man, Americans remain particularly vulnerable to a specific brand of cult-like thinking. With in-depth research and compelling insight, Borden uncovers the American history you didn’t learn in school, including how we are still being brainwashed, making us a nation of easy marks for con artists and strong men. Along the way, she also revisits some of the most fascinating cults in this country—including, the Mankind United and Love Has Won—presenting them as integral parts of our national psyche rather than aberrations.

The French social philosopher Pierre Bourdieu is now recognised as one of the major thinkers of the twentieth century. In a career of over fifty years, Bourdieu studied a wide range of topics: education, culture, art, politics, economics, literature, law, and philosophy. Throughout these studies, Bourdieu developed a highly specialised series of concepts that he referred to as his "thinking tools", which were used to uncover the workings of contemporary society. Pierre Bourdieu: Key Concepts highlights his most important concepts and examines them in detail. Each chapter deals with an individual concept and is written to be of immediate use to the student with little or no previous knowledge of Bourdieu. This new edition of the leading text is entirely revised and updated and includes new essays on Methodology, Politics and Social Space.

From AskMen senior editor and non-binary writer Alex Manley comes The New Masculinity: A Roadmap for a 21st-Century Definition of Manhood, a guide for escaping the shackles of toxic masculinity, unlearning what it means to be a man, and pushing back against the various ways masculinity teaches people to hurt rather than help, and to harm rather than heal. Manley charts a course for a wholly new future of the self that’s neither particularly manly nor particularly masculine, but responsive, invested, and caring. Having written and edited for a men’s website for seven and a half years, Manley has seen up close how angry, scared, and lonely men are, and how entrenched in a culture war they feel. This book is a guide for unlearning the habits that perpetuate that harm. There are an infinite number of ways to be a person, but to access them fully, men first need to unlearn the restrictions of modern gender roles and the ways society has taught them to shave parts of themselves off until their masculinity comes before their humanity.

This book brings together the major Australian and New Zealand theorists in Critical Criminology. The chapters represent the contribution of these authors in both their established work and their recent scholarship. It includes new approaches to theory, methodology, case studies and contemporary issues.

The Oxford History of the United States is by far the most respected multi-volume history of our nation. In this Pulitzer prize-winning, critically acclaimed addition to the series, historian Daniel Walker Howe illuminates the period from the battle of New Orleans to the end of the Mexican-American War, an era when the United States expanded to the Pacific and won control over the richest part of the North American continent. A panoramic narrative, What Hath God Wrought portrays revolutionary improvements in transportation and communications that accelerated the extension of the American empire. Railroads, canals, newspapers, and the telegraph dramatically lowered travel times and spurred the spread of information. These innovations prompted the emergence of mass political parties and stimulated America's economic development from an overwhelmingly rural country to a diversified economy in which commerce and industry took their place alongside agriculture. In his story, the author weaves together political and military events with social, economic, and cultural history. Howe examines the rise of Andrew Jackson and his Democratic party, but contends that John Quincy Adams and other Whigs--advocates of public education and economic integration, defenders of the rights of Indians, women, and African-Americans--were the true prophets of America's future. In addition, Howe reveals the power of religion to shape many aspects of American life during this period, including slavery and antislavery, women's rights and other reform movements, politics, education, and literature. Howe's story of American expansion culminates in the bitterly controversial but brilliantly executed war waged against Mexico to gain California and Texas for the United States. Winner of the New-York Historical Society American History Book Prize Finalist, 2007 National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction The Oxford History of the United States The Oxford History of the United States is the most respected multi-volume history of our nation. The series includes three Pulitzer Prize winners, a New York Times bestseller, and winners of the Bancroft and Parkman Prizes. The Atlantic Monthly has praised it as "the most distinguished series in American historical scholarship," a series that "synthesizes a generation's worth of historical inquiry and knowledge into one literally state-of-the-art book." Conceived under the general editorship of C. Vann Woodward and Richard Hofstadter, and now under the editorship of David M. Kennedy, this renowned series blends social, political, economic, cultural, diplomatic, and military history into coherent and vividly written narrative.

Wut ist nicht gleich Wut. Sie hat viele Gründe: Ungerechtigkeit, Rassismus, Sexismus. Das Ausleben dieser Emotion ist allerdings nicht allen gleichermaßen möglich. Während "besorgte Bürger:innen" ihren Ärger auf Demos kundtun, wirken wütende Marginalisierte in der Öffentlichkeit oft zu laut, zu fordernd, zu bedrohlich. Was aber tun mit Wut, die nicht sein darf? Welchen Raum bekommen wütende Marginalisierte? Und was liegt unter und hinter dieser Wut, die von Ausgrenzung erzeugt wird? Amani Abuzahra stößt in ihrer bestechenden Gesellschaftsanalyse auf Gefühle wie Angst, Scham, Trauer und Erschöpfung, zeichnet eine emotionale Landkarte der Marginalisierten und zeigt, dass Wut nicht nur ein Gefühl mit riesigem Potenzial, sondern auch ein Ort ist, der für alle ein Kraftzentrum sein kann – wenn wir den Mut haben, es zuzulassen.

Stories accompany us through life from birth to death. But they do not merely entertain, inform, or distress us—they show us what counts as right or wrong and teach us who we are and who we can imagine being. Stories connect people, but they can also disconnect, creating boundaries between people and justifying violence. In Letting Stories Breathe, Arthur W. Frank grapples with this fundamental aspect of our lives, offering both a theory of how stories shape us and a useful method for analyzing them. Along the way he also tells stories: from folktales to research interviews to remembrances. Frank’s unique approach uses literary concepts to ask social scientific questions: how do stories make life good and when do they endanger it? Going beyond theory, he presents a thorough introduction to dialogical narrative analysis, analyzing modes of interpretation, providing specific questions to start analysis, and describing different forms analysis can take. Building on his renowned work exploring the relationship between narrative and illness, Letting Stories Breathe expands Frank’s horizons further, offering a compelling perspective on how stories affect human lives.

Noam Chomsky’s backpocket classic on wartime propaganda and opinion control begins by asserting two models of democracy—one in which the public actively participates, and one in which the public is manipulated and controlled. According to Chomsky, "propaganda is to democracy as the bludgeon is to a totalitarian state," and the mass media is the primary vehicle for delivering propaganda in the United States. From an examination of how Woodrow Wilson’s Creel Commission "succeeded, within six months, in turning a pacifist population into a hysterical, war-mongering population," to Bush Sr.'s war on Iraq, Chomsky examines how the mass media and public relations industries have been used as propaganda to generate public support for going to war. Chomsky further touches on how the modern public relations industry has been influenced by Walter Lippmann’s theory of "spectator democracy," in which the public is seen as a "bewildered herd" that needs to be directed, not empowered; and how the public relations industry in the United States focuses on "controlling the public mind," and not on informing it. Media Control is an invaluable primer on the secret workings of disinformation in democratic societies.

AUDIBLE EDITOR'S PICK A paradigm-shifting study of neurodivergent women—those with ADHD, autism, synesthesia, high sensitivity, and sensory processing disorder—exploring why these traits are overlooked in women and how society benefits from allowing their unique strengths to flourish. As a successful Harvard and Berkeley-educated writer, entrepreneur, and devoted mother, Jenara Nerenberg was shocked to discover that her “symptoms”--only ever labeled as anxiety-- were considered autistic and ADHD. Being a journalist, she dove into the research and uncovered neurodiversity—a framework that moves away from pathologizing “abnormal” versus “normal” brains and instead recognizes the vast diversity of our mental makeups. When it comes to women, sensory processing differences are often overlooked, masked, or mistaken for something else entirely. Between a flawed system that focuses on diagnosing younger, male populations, and the fact that girls are conditioned from a young age to blend in and conform to gender expectations, women often don’t learn about their neurological differences until they are adults, if at all. As a result, potentially millions live with undiagnosed or misdiagnosed neurodivergences, and the misidentification leads to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and shame. Meanwhile, we all miss out on the gifts their neurodivergent minds have to offer. Divergent Mind is a long-overdue, much-needed answer for women who have a deep sense that they are “different.” Sharing real stories from women with high sensitivity, ADHD, autism, misophonia, dyslexia, SPD and more, Nerenberg explores how these brain variances present differently in women and dispels widely-held misconceptions (for example, it’s not that autistic people lack sensitivity and empathy, they have an overwhelming excess of it). Nerenberg also offers us a path forward, describing practical changes in how we communicate, how we design our surroundings, and how we can better support divergent minds. When we allow our wide variety of brain makeups to flourish, we create a better tomorrow for us all.

What does it mean to be a feminist today? Why do some women become feminists and others do not? At a time when 'feminist' is a label that many young women shun, Stepping Out of Line offers an insightful account of the struggle of becoming and being a feminist. Cheryl Hercus offers a compelling new argument for why some women embrace feminism and why others do not. In doing so, she moves beyond the stereotypes of what feminism means while providing a new understanding of feminist social movements of resistance and collective action.

A dazzling piece of narrative nonfiction about land lust and the American West, The Crazies tells the story of a wind farm that triggers a 21st century range war between a struggling fifth-generation rancher and the billionaires next door. Most locals in Big Timber, Montana learn to live with the wind. Rick Jarrett sought his fortune in it. Like his pioneer ancestors who staked their claims in the Treasure State, he believed in his right to make a living off the land—and its newest precious resource, million-dollar wind. Trouble was, Jarrett’s neighbors were some of the wealthiest and most influential men in America, trophy ranchers who’d come West to enjoy magnificent mountain views, not stare at 500-foot wind turbines. And so began an epic showdown that would pull in an ever-widening cast of larger-than-life characters, including a Texas oil and gas tycoon, a roguish wind prospector, a Crow activist fighting for his tribe’s rights to the mountains they hold sacred, and an Olympic athlete-turned-attorney whose path to redemption would lead to Jarrett’s wind farm. A wildly entertaining yarn, the brawl over Crazy Mountain Wind would become a fight over the values that define us as Americans—and a window into how this country actually works. All the while, the most coveted rangeland in the West was being threatened by forces more powerful than anything one man could muster: dwindling snowpack, record drought, raging wildfires. The Crazies is a Western for a warming planet, full of cowboys and billionaires and billionaire cowboys. But it’s also so much more. It’s an exquisitely reported, ruggedly beautiful elegy for a vanishing way of life and a bighearted inquiry into how you can love a place so much you risk destroying it.

GENE WEINGARTEN IS THE O. HENRY OF AMERICAN JOURNALISM Simply the best storyteller around, Weingarten describes the world as you think it is before revealing how it actually is—in narratives that are by turns hilarious, heartwarming, and provocative, but always memorable. Millions of people know the title piece about violinist Joshua Bell, which originally began as a stunt: What would happen if you put a world-class musician outside a Washington, D.C., subway station to play for spare change? Would anyone even notice? The answer was no. Weingarten’s story went viral, becoming a widely referenced lesson about life lived too quickly. Other classic stories—the one about “The Great Zucchini,” a wildly popular but personally flawed children’s entertainer; the search for the official “Armpit of America”; a profile of the typical American nonvoter—all of them reveal as much about their readers as they do their subjects.

It has seemed necessary to make the most additions to the original treatise under the subjects of the Wages Question; of Wages of Superintendence; of Socialism; of Cost of Production; of Bimetallism; of the Paper Money experiments in this country; of International Values; of the Future of the Laboring-Classes (in which the chapter was entirely rewritten); and of Protection. The treatment of Land Tenures has not been entirely omitted, but it does not appear as a separate subject, because it has at present less value as an elementary study for American students. The chapters on Land Tenures, the English currency discussion, and much of Book V, on the Influence of Government, have been simply omitted. In one case I have changed the order of the chapters, by inserting Chap. XV of Book III, treating of a standard of value, under the chapter treating of money and its functions. In other respects, the same order has been followed as in the original work. To interest the reader in home problems, twenty-four charts have been scattered throughout the volume, which bear upon our own conditions, with the expectation, also, that the different methods of graphic representation here presented would lead students to apply them to other questions. They are mainly such as I have employed in my class-room. The use and preparation of such charts ought to be encouraged. The earlier pages of the volume have been given up to a “Sketch of the History of Political Economy,” which aims to give the story of how we have arrived at our present knowledge of economic laws. The student who has completed Mill will then have a very considerable bibliography of the various schools and writers from which to select further reading, and to select this reading so that it may not fall wholly within the range of one class of writers. But, for the time that Mill is being first studied, I have added a list of the most important books for consultation. I have also collected, in Appendix I, some brief bibliographies on the Tariff, on Bimetallism, and on American Shipping, which may be of use to those who may not have the means of inquiring for authorities, and in Appendix II a number of questions and problems for the teacher's use.

Over twenty-five years and through five editions, Walter I. Trattner's From Poor Law to Welfare State has served as the standard text on the history of welfare policy in the United States. The only comprehensive account of American social welfare history from the colonial era to the present, the new sixth edition has been updated to include the latest developments in our society as well as trends in social welfare. Trattner provides in-depth examination of developments in child welfare, public health, and the evolution of social work as a profession, showing how all these changes affected the treatment of the poor and needy in America. He explores the impact of public policies on social workers and other helping professions -- all against the backdrop of social and intellectual trends in American history. From Poor Law to Welfare State directly addresses racism and sexism and pays special attention to the worsening problems of child abuse, neglect, and homelessness.

No other continent on Earth has undergone such radical environmental changes as Antarctica. In its transition from rich biodiversity to the barren, cold land of blizzards we see today, Antarctica provides a dramatic case study of how subtle changes in continental positioning can affect living communities, and how rapidly catastrophic changes can come about. Antarctica has gone from paradise to polar ice in just a few million years, a geological blink of an eye when we consider the real age of Earth. Frozen in Time presents a comprehensive overview of the fossil record of Antarctica framed within its changing environmental settings, providing a window into a past time and environment on the continent. It reconstructs Antarctica’s evolving animal and plant communities as accurately as the fossil record permits. The story of how fossils were first discovered in Antarctica is a triumph of human endeavour. It continues today with modern expeditions going out to remote sites every year to fill in more of the missing parts of the continent’s great jigsaw of life.

Peabody Award–winning journalist Michele Norris offers a transformative dialogue on race and identity in America, unearthed through her decade-long work at The Race Card Project. The prompt seemed simple: Race. Your Thoughts. Six Words. Please Send. The answers, though, have been challenging and complicated. In the twelve years since award-winning journalist Michele Norris first posed that question, over half a million people have submitted their stories to The Race Card Project inbox. The stories are shocking in their depth and candor, spanning the full spectrum of race, ethnicity, identity, and class. Even at just six words, the micro-essays can pack quite a punch, revealing, fear, pain, triumph, and sometimes humor. Responses such as: You’re Pretty for a Black girl. White privilege, enjoy it, earned it. Lady, I don’t want your purse. My ancestors massacred Indians near here. Urban living has made me racist. I’m only Asian when it’s convenient. Many go even further than just six words, submitting backstories, photos, and heirlooms: a collection much like a scrapbook of American candor you rarely get to see. Our Hidden Conversations is a unique compilation of stories, richly reported essays, and photographs providing a window into America during a tumultuous era. This powerful book offers an honest, if sometimes uncomfortable, conversation about race and identity, permitting us to eavesdrop on deep-seated thoughts, private discussions, and long submerged memories. The breadth of this work came as a surprise to Norris. For most of the twelve years she has collected these stories, many were submitted by white respondents. This unexpected panorama provides a rare 360-degree view of how Americans see themselves and one another. Our Hidden Conversations reminds us that even during times of great division, honesty, grace, and a willing ear can provide a bridge toward empathy and maybe even understanding.

This book examines the phenomenon of colorism in India and the Global South and critically analyses the obsession with fair skin and its association with social capital or mobility. Exploring the prevalence of colorism in India, China, Japan, Vietnam, South Africa, Brazil, Argentina, Kenya and Australia, it traces its roots in history, scriptures, travel narratives, contemporary media and popular culture. How much did colonialism and European imperialism contribute to the desire to be white? How have globalization and the spread of consumer culture and Western ideals of beauty helped exacerbate these issues? The author discusses these questions while looking at the aspirations for beauty and modernity among these societies and the growing popularity of the use of creams, lotions and other methods to whiten the skin as a means to assimilate, emulate the West and gain better prospects and life. Lucid and topical, this book will be an essential read for scholars and researchers of race and colorism, sociology, social history, social anthropology, cultural studies, consumer economics, Asian studies and South Asian studies.

The bestselling, widely acclaimed translation from Stephen Mitchell "Mitchell's rendition of the Tao Te Ching comes as close to being definitive for our time as any I can imagine. It embodies the virtues its translator credits to the Chinese original: a gemlike lucidity that is radiant with humor, grace, largeheartedness, and deep wisdom." — Huston Smith, author of The Religions of Man In eighty-one brief chapters, Lao-tzu's Tao Te Ching, or Book of the Way, provides advice that imparts balance and perspective, a serene and generous spirit, and teaches us how to work for the good with the effortless skill that comes from being in accord with the Tao—the basic principle of the universe.

هذا الكتاب قد خصص لأثر المتنبي في شعر اليمن الحديث، ولعل التركيز على المتنبي لأنه يعد الأنموذج الصالح لتمثيل خصائص الشعر العربي قديمه وحديثه في قدرته على التخيل ومهاراته وابتكاره للمعاني، والتي ترى بأنها مختلقة من العدم واختراعه الصور الفنية التي تهتز لها النفس إعجاباً وقدرته على الإبداع في إبراز المعاني، ويعد المتنبي الشاعر العربي الأقرب إلى التمثيل العام لعبقرية الشعر العربي الذي يقدم لنا إلى جانب شاعريته الفذة مادةً ثمينةً للتفكير والتأمل، ويعرض علينا نظراتٍ صائبةً في الحياةِ، وخواطر عن الإنسان جديرة بالنظر والاعتبار ليحلق في الآفاق ويصبح شاعر الإنسانية. وقد ربط في جانبٍ واسعٍ من أشعاره بين الثورة والتوجه القومي العربي. وأثر المتنبي في نتاج الشعراء لا تفي به آلاف البحوث غير أننا في هذا البحث نتتبع بإيجاز تطلعاته؛ وما يعزز الانتماء القومي وروحه وأصالته العربية، وتعرضه للأعاجم، وشدة عداوته لهم، وكانت حياته تمثيلاً ومعايشة للقيم التي نادى بها، وتطلع على إضفائها على الإنسان العربي، وعلى هذا أحبته العرب لأنه عريقٌ في عروبته شديدٌ في جهاديته، فضلاً عن شاعريته الفذة وتقنيته الفنية العالية.

“If there is an afterexistence in which the individual human consciousness continues, I imagine Dante Alighieri is thanking the Creator for giving him, at last, a Michael Palma.” —Marilyn Nelson, author of A Wreath for Emmett Till When Michael Palma’s translation of the Inferno appeared in 2002, it defied the conventional wisdom of literary commentators who had long argued that Dante’s intricate terza rima form simply could not be rendered in “rhyme-poor” English. But Palma’s achievement in rhyming tercets was quickly received as a spectacular feat of poetic artistry that was “accurate?.?.?. admirably clear, and readable” (Richard Wilbur) and that, “in capturing the sense, sound, and spirit of the original?.?.?. comes close to perfection” (X. J. Kennedy). Now, more than two decades later, Palma has applied the same virtuosic attention to the form and flow of the Purgatorio and Paradiso, attending to both the tiniest details and the grand design of the entire Commedia and offering a fluid and readable English version that reveals to contemporary readers the sound, sense, and awe-inspiring beauty of Italian literature’s greatest poem.

In this volume, Estelle Haan, one of the world's finest neo-Latinists, makes an important contribution to the study of so often neglected poetry. She uses context & commentary to create an unprecedented understanding of Joseph Addison's poetry. Haan adds to the corpus of neo-Latin poetry, & also offers to non-Latinists with an interest in Addison access to products of his creative imagination that were hitherto unavailable because of the language barrier. The inclusion of material unkonwn to previous Addison editors considerably enhances the volume's value. Illustrations.

Poetry is a window to the soul of the writer. In this collection of the poems of W. B. Yeats, the reader gets an insight into how Yeats' personality, priorities and style evolved throughout his life. And it's an incredibly fascinating journey. In this collection of 40 of his works, he writes about Irish legends and the occult, including the beautiful, haunting 'When You are Old' and 'The Lake Isle of Innisfree'. Later poems are less lyrical and more political and realistic, including 'Parnell's Funeral'. This collection of perfect poems is great for fans of Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley. William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) was an Irish poet, dramatist and writer. A driving force behind the Irish Literary Revival, he also served two terms as a Senator of the Irish Free State. Fellow poet W. H. Auden credited Yeats with having written "some of the most beautiful poetry" of modern times. Many of his early poems featured Irish legends and the occult, while his later verse was more politicised and realistic. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923.

श्री सुबोध श्रीवास्तव द्वारा रचित 'पीढ़ी का दर्द' काव्य संग्रह पढ़ा। संग्रह की रचनाओं ने मुझे भीतर तक. इतनी गहराई से स्पर्श किया कि जब तक मैंने इसकी आखिरी कविता नहीं पढ़ ली, तब तक मैं इसे अपने से अलग नहीं कर सका। किसी की रचनाओं में किसी सहृदय पाठक का मन इतना डूब जाए कि वो उसे पढ़ने के लिए विवश हो जाए, इसे मैं किसी भी रचनाकार की बहुत बड़ी सफलता मानता हूं। सुबोध की यह उपलब्धि रेखांकित करने योग्य है। कुछ कर सकने की ललक और फिर कुछ न कर पाने की मजबूरी, इन दो सूत्रों के बीच इस संग्रह की रचनाएं घूमती हैं। इसलिए इनमें कहीं आक्रोश, कहीं विवशता, कहीं पीड़ा, कहीं कुंठा, कहीं संत्रास, कहीं आशा, कहीं हताशा, मन की अनेक वृत्तियां शब्दायित हुई हैं। यद्यपि सुबोध का यह प्रथम काव्य संग्रह है। लेकिन उनके 'सोच' और शिल्प के नयेपन को देखकर लगता है कि जैसे यह किसी सिद्धहस्त लेखनी की अभिव्यक्ति हो। मैं इस संग्रह के प्रकाशन पर सुबोध को इस कारण भी बधाई देता हूं कि आज के अनेक नए रचनाकारों के बीच उन्होंने अपने लिए बिलकुल नया रास्ता चुना है। मुझे विश्वास है कि इस संग्रह को हिन्दी साहित्य जगत में एक गौरवपूर्ण स्थान प्राप्त होगा। - पद्मश्री गोपाल दास 'नीरज'

الشعر هو الأداة الطيعة التي استطاع به «معروف الرصافي» أن يُعبر عما يجول في نَفْسِه من مشاعر متدفقة، فكان المتحدث باسم جيله، والممثل لآماله، والناطق بلسانه. وفي ديوانه ناقش العديد من القضايا الهامة؛ فعرض لأثر الطلاق الاجتماعي على المرأة، وحث على العناية بالأطفال والأيتام. ولم ينسَ الشاعر الثائر أن يُطالب بإصلاحات سياسية، منها: دعوته لتأسيس «مجلس شعب» للعراق يناقش أموره، وهاجم ظُلم الحكام، واستبداد «السلطان عبد الحميد» ودعا إلى عزله، وطالب الشعب الإسلامي بالاستيقاظ من سباته. وإيمانًا منه بأهمية العلم؛ حث على التعلم وإنشاء المدارس. كما دافع عن الإسلام رافضًا ما يردده البعض بأنه حجر عثرة أمام التقدم. ورثى عددًا من الشخصيات، مثل: «أحمد شوقى» و«الحسين بن علي» الذي لقبه بأبي الملوك. إن الديوان موسوعة شعرية لعصره ونفسه.

Frases cortantes, incisivas, como filos. Y a la vez, una sutil sensibilidad poética. En ese cruce se ubica La boca seca. Novela en la que los personajes huyen, son perseguidos, se escapan y no dejan nunca de estar sometidos a la violencia sobre los cuerpos. Es el mundo de los negros, de los esclavos, ambientado en una época imprecisa (¿en el pasado?, ¿en tiempos de la colonia?, ¿en un presente que ya es futuro?) que va mucho más allá de la negritud y de la temporalidad, para desembocar en una narración que siempre gira en torno a los poderes que se abaten sobre esos cuerpos, el poder de la ciencia, de la naturaleza, del control social. En su primera novela, Carnero demuestra tener un notable talento para jugar con la ambigüedad, con lo vedado. La boca seca es una de esas novelas cuya lectura provoca una sensación física: nos deja temblando.

A real professor and her student forge a friendship through correspondence as they discuss love, art, life, cancer, and death. In 2012, Sarah Ruhl was a distinguished author and playwright, twice a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Max Ritvo, a student in her playwriting class at Yale University, was an exuberant, opinionated, and highly gifted poet. He was also in remission from pediatric cancer. Over the next four years—in which Ritvo’s illness returned and his health declined, even as his productivity bloomed—the two exchanged letters that spark with urgency, humor, and the desire for connection. Reincarnation, books, the afterlife as an Amtrak quiet car, good soup: in Ruhl and Ritvo’s exchanges, all ideas are fair, nourishing game, shared and debated in a spirit of generosity and love. “We’ll always know one another forever, however long ever is,” Ritvo writes. “And that’s all I want—is to know you forever.” Studded with poems and songs, Letters from Max is a deeply moving portrait of a friendship, and a shimmering exploration of love, art, mortality, and the afterlife. Praise for Letters from Max “An unusual, beautiful book about nothing less than the necessity of art in our lives. Two big-hearted, big-brained writers have allowed us to eavesdrop on their friendship: jokes and heartbreaks, admiration, hard work, tender work.” —Elizabeth McCracken, author of Bowlaway “Immediate comparisons will be made to Rainer Maria Rilke’s Letters to a Young Artist . . . this book is a nuanced look at the evolution of an incredible talent facing mortality and the mentor, never condescending, who recognizes his gift. Their infectious letters shine with a love of words and beauty.” —The Observer “Deeply moving, often heartbreaking. . . . A captivating celebration of life and love.” —Kirkus Reviews “Moving and erudite . . . devastating and lyrical . . . Ruhl draws a comparison between their correspondence and that between poets Robert Lowell and Elizabeth Bishop, and indeed, with the depth and intelligence displayed, one feels in the presence of literary titans.” —Publishers Weekly

The fu, or rhymeprose, is a major poetic form in Chinese literature, most popular between the 2nd century b.c. and 6th century a.d. Unlike what is usually considered Chinese poetry, it is a hybrid of prose and rhymed verse, more expansive than the condensed lyrics, verging on what might be called Whitmanesque. The thirteen long poems included here are descriptions of and meditations on such subjects as mountains and abandoned cities, the sea and the wind, owls and goddesses, partings and the idle life.

Creo universos paralelos donde nos unimos, donde las líneas paralelas se unenpara siempre y somos uno: uno pequeñito y necesario, uno que se está deshilachando.

My verse resembles the bread of Egypt—night passes over it, and you cannot eat it any more. Devour it the moment it is fresh, before the dust settles upon it. Its place is the warm climate of the heart; in this world it dies of cold. Like a fish it quivered for an instant on dry land, another moment and you see it is cold. Even if you eat it imagining it is fresh, it is necessary to conjure up many images. What you drink is really your own imagination; it is no old tale, my good man. Jalal al-Din Rumi (1207–73), legendary Persian Muslim poet, theologian, and mystic, wrote poems acclaimed through the centuries for their powerful spiritual images and provocative content, which often described Rumi’s love for God in romantic or erotic terms. His vast body of work includes more than three thousand lyrics and odes. This volume includes four hundred poems selected by renowned Rumi scholar A. J. Arberry, who provides here one of the most comprehensive and adept English translations of this enigmatic genius. Mystical Poems is the definitive resource for anyone seeking an introduction to or an enriched understanding of one of the world’s greatest poets. “Rumi is one of the world’s greatest lyrical poets in any language—as well as probably the most accessible and approachable representative of Islamic civilization for Western students.”—James W. Morris, Oberlin College

"'¿A quién no le pasan cosas tristes y extraordinarias?', se pregunta el yo lírico de este libro, que alza su voz desde la pérdida. Hace doce años, una tragedia marcó su vida: el accidente de tránsito que se llevó a su familia. Desde esa herida, a veces con la mirada de una niña y otras con la de una mujer, sus palabras surgen con una fuerza que siempre avanza hacia lo vital, hacia la búsqueda incesante de la belleza del mundo. En estas páginas, no solo el dolor sino lo cotidiano se transforman en experiencia poética. Los recuerdos de quienes se alejaron, los lugares que ya no son o que se han transformado, las personas que acompañan y también las que dañan construyen un paisaje donde lo íntimo se vuelve universal. Federica escribe sus versos con extrema sensibilidad pero también con firmeza, ofreciendo una mirada profunda sobre la pérdida, la memoria y el deseo de seguir, siempre en busca de sentido. Un libro que invita a reflexionar sobre la pérdida y sobre cómo lo que vale la pena muchas veces está en las cosas más simples" (Cecilia Muñoz).

Desde su aparición en 1912 Morgue y Otros Poemas de Gottfried Benn supuso una ruptura radical con la poesía alemana precedente. Crudos, punzantes y quirúrgicos, los poemas de Benn exponen no solo la descomposición de la sociedad de la cual fue testigo, sino también la sociedad que vendrá, buscando –como plantea la poeta Verónica Zondek, artífice de esta excepcional traducción bilingüe– «reventar la realidad de incertezas y miedos». Después de permanecer por varios años censurada y silenciada, esta obra capital de la poesía expresionista alemana prosigue –pasado más de un siglo–, interpelándonos como humanidad y estremeciéndonos con un lenguaje único, corrosivo y sin concesiones.

Con un lenguaje poético que por momentos parece tensarse hasta su propia disolución, y con una ironía y un humorismo que no alcanzan a ocultar la angustia existencial que vibra detrás de cada uno de sus versos, en este libro desconcertante, sin duda la obra más ambiciosa de cuantas ha escrito, Herbert se angustia, juega con la tipografía, con las palabras, con las tachaduras, con los colores, con las definiciones, con los idiomas. narrador -cuentista y novelista-, ensayista, poeta, cantante, Julián Herbert es un insatisfecho de sí mismo que se encuentra y desencuentra en cada libro y a veces dentro de cada libro. Este libro no es la excepción.

“Putika” adalah nama yang diberikan kepada jenis puisi pendek yang hanya terdiri dari tiga kata. Jenis puisi ini, pada awalnya dimuat dalam sebuah grup puisi di jejaring social facebook, dengan nama “Putika (Puisi Tiga Kata)”. Kemudian mulai berkembang pada grup-grup lain di luar putika, dan bahkan pada blog-blog sastra pribadi. Sebagian yang lain juga menyebar dalam sebuah Antologi Puisi yang dibuat oleh para penyair facebook. Buku ini adalah uraian TEORI dan KOSEP dari Putika. Dengan buku ini, diharapkan PUTIKA bias lebih meluas tidak hanya di dunia maya, tetapi juga di dunia nyata dan sesuai dengan kaidah atau batasan-batasan yang sudah diberikan. Buku ini memperkaya khasanah sastra dan geliat kebudayaan tulis di Nusantara. Indra Intisa, adalah seorang PNS di provinsi Jambi, namun hobinya menulis dan berkesenian tidak pupus semenjak kecil. Di Sela kesibukannya sebagai abdi negara, ia tetap bermusik dan bergaul dengan para penyair di internet, serta turut aktif menulis dalam berbagai antologi. Indra juga sangat tekun menemani para penyair dunia maya serta merumuskan konsep-konsep puisi kontemporer yang berkembang di jejaring social. Penerbit Garudhawaca

The debut collection of poetry by Gboyega Odubanjo. 'On 21 September 2001, the torso of a black boy was discovered in the River Thames, near Tower Bridge in central London, clothed only in an orange pair of girls' shorts. Given the name "Adam" by police officers, the unidentified boy was between four and eight years old. What comes next cannot without a story of water and offering. The sun shines and we gather because the river allows it. Na from clap dem dey enter dance. We enter with, and as, Adam.' - Gboyega Odubanjo Haunted by the discovery of the remains of a young Black boy in the River Thames in London, 2001, Gboyega Odubanjo's Adam builds from the Genesis myth and from Yoruba culture to examine with an unflinching eye the disappearance of a child and its implication for all Black lives, and for the society in which we live.

How pleasant it feels when somebody calls us their lifeline. This all seems very pleasing at one phase but as soon as the relationship grows, the naked reality of the dual nature of our loving partner gets disclosed. Sometimes it is easy to just forget whatever crap that took place in the past, but after getting so close to somebody that you know their aroma, it is quite difficult to erase their memories from the floor of heart. Breakups are not just the end of a relationship but it also shatters the soul, the feeling of getting betrayed and cheated also cannot force the past memories to make their way out from the heart. Instead of cigarettes and shots, sometimes poetry does its best in easing the guilt of broken relationship. The rain shatters the rainbow sometimes, so do relationships—they fade in the colours of life but not memories.

El libro que tienes en tus manos es el quinto que pertenece al género que he bautizado como Antología novelada. En esta ocasión revisa muchas huellas de la novela picaresca para trasladarlas a la época actual. La idea surgió al descubrir un original, escrito a mano, encontrado en una caseta de libros antiguos y descatalogados bajo el título Autobiografía. Cuando aventuré su publicación subdividí el texto en capítulos y completé su contenido con párrafos entresacados de la novela picaresca española y en esto imité al autor que ya usaba algunas citas de estas novelas, aunque no indicaba su origen que, a veces, me ha costado encontrar. Ojalá que te guste el resultado. No ha sido fácil adaptar algunos textos de la picaresca española ideada en los siglos de Oro a un relato actual. Como en las anteriores Antologías noveladas publicadas se invita a una lectura reposada con espacios de descanso como sistema de lectura de los aficionados que disfrutan porque aman las antologías. La presente novela se desarrolla durante el primer cuarto del siglo XXI. Y en su Epílogo se hace referencia a la pandemia que, durante los años 2020, 2021, 2022 y… fue cambiando la economía y muchos comportamientos humanos. Baste un ejemplo: el uso de mascarillas se convirtió en el símbolo disparatado de nuestras vidas porque esconden nuestras sonrisas pero no evitan que se vean nuestras lágrimas. Con la crisis actual, la picaresca que nunca ha dejado de existir en la vida real ha revivido y proliferan los pícaros, aunque ya no solo son carteristas ni siervos que estafan a sus señores porque ahora dominan avances tecnológicos y redes sociales o son personas trajeadas y encorbatadas que enriquecen sus bolsillos medrando en la Banca o en los partidos políticos al defender leyes con las que empobrecen a los ciudadanos situados económicamente en la escala media y baja.

La poeta almeriense Aurora Luque (1962), quien escribiera ese verso tan lleno de secreto y melancolía: el amor siempre está hecho del hilo de Ariadna, recoge en este volumen, Carpe amorem, su poesía de amor completa. Seis libros, una plaqueta y algunos inéditos conforman el mapa de una isla que presenta una peculiar geografía del deseo. Marcada por los tópicos del carpe diem horaciano y del odi et amo catuliano, la poesía de amor de Aurora Luque se mueve entre una calculada adicción a Grecia y el fervor por el viaje de Ulises. Memoria, isla, deseo, noche, sensualidad, evocación... son los misterios que ahonda esta poesía. Aurora busca entre los clásicos –antiguos y nuevos– sus camaradas de (caro. Ahí están la antigua y renovadora Safo, dormida en el limbo del deseo, Horacio y Caculo, bajo un aura de tiempo y de locura, el preterido Hölderlin, en su torre de perfumes de aire, y Cernuda, tras su nube de agua. Poesía hecha de aroma que ilumina con una lucidez asombrosa. Carpite poma. R. V.

This book explores poetry and pedagogy in practice across the lifespan. Poetry is directly linked to improved literacy, creativity, personal development, emotional intelligence, complex analytical thinking and social interaction: all skills that are crucial in contemporary educational systems. However, a narrow focus on STEM subjects at the expense of the humanities has led educators to deprioritize poetry and to overlook its interdisciplinary, multi-modal potential. The editors and contributors argue that poetry is not a luxury, but a way to stimulate linguistic experiences that are formally rich and cognitively challenging. To learn through poetry is not just to access information differently, but also to forge new and different connections that can serve as reflective tools for lifelong learning. This interdisciplinary book will be of value to teachers and students of poetry, as well as scholars interested in literacy across the disciplines.

Geoffrey Chaucer's fourteenth-century masterpiece The Canterbury Tales is such a rollicking good read that you'll forget many critics and scholars also regard it as one of the most important literary works in English. A group of pilgrims are traveling together to visit a holy shrine at the Canterbury Cathedral. Along the way, they decide to hold a storytelling contest to pass the time, with the winner to be awarded a lavish feast on the return trip. The tales offered up in turn by each of the travelers run the full gamut of human emotion, ranging from raucous and ribald jokes to heartrending tales of doomed romance. Even if you don't consider yourself a fan of classic literature, The Canterbury Tales is worth a read.

Sweeping from the eighteenth century to futurist fabulations, Black Bell harmonizes poetry with performance art practices in an investigation of fugitivity. Inspired by the nineteenth century image of an enslaved woman wearing iron horns and bells, Alison C. Rollins’s Black Bell continues an exploration of cataloging individual experience and collective memory. As Rollins sets out to resuscitate and embody the archive, we see a chorus of historical figures like Eliza Harris, Henry “Box” Brown, and Lear Green; readers can listen in as Phillis Wheatley takes a Turing test or venture through Dante’s Inferno remixed with Wu-Tang Clan’s 36 Chambers. Poems travel across time and space, between the eighteenth century and futuristic fabulations, vibrating with fugitive frequencies, sounds of survival, and nerve-wracking notes tuned toward love and liberation. Black Bell navigates what it means to be both invisible and spectacle, hidden and on display, allowing lyric language to become the material for fashioning wearable sculptures akin to Nick Cave’s “soundsuits.” Integrating performance art practices, metalwork, and sonic, Black Bell becomes multimedia meditation on freedom seeking, furthering the possibilities of both the page and the canvas of the poet’s body.

Flies are the most ubiquitous of insects: buzzing, minuscule, and seemingly insignificant, they've been both plagues and minor annoyances for millennia. Rather than ignore these incredibly mundane and seemingly insignificant creatures, poets spanning centuries--from the seventeenth to the twentieth--and continents--from North America to Asia--have found that these ordinary bugs in fact illuminate deep spiritual mysteries. In this revelatory book, Robert Hudson considers seven poets, each of whom wrote a provocative poem about a fly. These poets--all mystics in their own way--ponder the simple fly and come to astounding conclusions. Considering Emily Dickinson, William Blake, and several other poets, The Poet and the Fly brings together the poetry, the flies, and the poets' own lives to explore the imaginative, and often prophetic, insights that come from the startling combination of poetry and flies. Ultimately, the message each poet offers to us through the fly is as relevant today as it was in their own time: the miracle of existence, the gift of mortality, the power of the imagination, the need for compassion, the existence of the soul, the mystery of everything around us, and the sacramental, grace-giving power of story.

SHORTLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD • The winner of Sweden’s most prestigious literary award makes her American debut with an epic, multigenerational novel-in-verse about two Sámi families and their quest to stay together across a century of migration, violence, and colonial trauma. “Crystalline prose that reads like poetry and myth at once. There are intricate layers of beauty and meaning here in sparse clusters across a vast new landscape as I’ve never read before. The music of this book is old, and it is new, and it is old.”—Tommy Orange, bestselling author of There, There and Wandering Stars In Northern Sámi, the word Ædnan means the land, the earth, and my mother. These are all crucial forces within the lives of the Indigenous families that animate this groundbreaking book: an astonishing verse novel that chronicles a hundred years of change: a book that will one day stand alongside Halldór Laxness’s Independent People and Sigrid Undset’s Kristin Lavransdatter as an essential Scandinavian epic. The tale begins in the 1910s, as Ristin and her family migrate their herd of reindeer to summer grounds. Along the way, forced to separate due to the newly formed border between Sweden and Norway, Ristin loses one of her sons in the aftermath of an accident, a grief that will ripple across the rest of the book. In the wake of this tragedy, Ristin struggles to manage what’s left of her family and her community. In the 1970s, Lise, as part of a new generation of Sámi grappling with questions of identity and inheritance, reflects on her traumatic childhood, when she was forced to leave her parents and was placed in a Nomad School to be stripped of the language of her ancestors. Finally, in the 2010s we meet Lise’s daughter, Sandra, an embodiment of Indigenous resilience, an activist fighting for reparations in a highly publicized land rights trial, in a time when the Sámi language is all but lost. Weaving together the voices of half a dozen characters, from elders to young people unsure of their heritage, Axelsson has created a moving family saga around the consequences of colonial settlement. Ædnan is a powerful reminder of how durable language can be, even when it is borrowed, especially when it has to hold what no longer remains. “I was the weight / in the stone you brought / back from the coast // to place on / my grave,” one character says to another from beyond the grave. “And I flew above / the boat calling / to you all: // There will be rain / there will be rain.”

Halo friends ang norok no o kokborok bijab norok nang kuk mani bijab.

On Being Human is a compilation of original poems by Ghazala Alam. Written in modern Urdu and English, each poem is introduced by an English preamble detailing her inspirations and insights. Accompanied by English transliteration, her poetry is informed by her experiences as an immigrant, woman, and a person of color. This distinct lens on life’s challenges also reaffirms her faith in the human capacity to empathize, overcome, and seek justice. With a sensitive, sometimes satirical style, her poems touch upon social issues pertinent to modern, everyday life. Each poem uses simple but elegant language to comment insightfully on fundamental aspects of the human struggle for meaning in the face of adversity and turmoil. Tackling issues such as ego, PTSD, and rejection, as well as true love and generosity, Ghazala’s poems strike a deep chord in readers and include a rallying cry for racial justice, a depiction of inner struggles of the mind, and much more.

“I fell captive to the spells of its stories—Scheherezade and her command over wild nights of imagination come to mind. Maybe it's the way Talukder manages to both evoke Urdu poetic tradition and create her own—these poems swoon with the restrained sensuality of the old world while dancing with the glittering passions of the new. Let yourself get caught up in this book's wondrous whorls and whirls—you won't regret it." —Tarfia Faizullah, author of Registers of Illuminated Villages and Seam “After everything we thought we knew about ourselves, and our loss, there is more to find: 'When the color left / my cheeks,' the poet writes, 'You / left too.' This book is an exquisite lyrical feast.” —Ilya Kaminsky, author of Deaf Republic and Dancing in Odessa “Adeeba Talukder's City of the Beloved hovers on the nexus of heartache and joy, a meeting point of arrival and exodus, and where love is the revolving door to the world of the unknown. Recalling the concision and scintillating acumen of Emily Dickinson, Mirabai, Rabia and Sappho, and drawing on the masters of Urdu and Persian poetry, Talukder renders a full world of heart, soul, and body, profound and daunting, sensual and sacred, enchanting and redeemable. This is a beautiful, stunning and unforgettable book.” — Khaled Mattawa, author of Mare Nostrum Adeeba Shahid Talukder is a Pakistani American poet, singer, and translator of Urdu and Persian poetry. She is the author of the chapbook What Is Not Beautiful (Glass Poetry Press, 2018).

A masterful collection of poems rooted in K’iche’ Maya culture illustrating all the ways meaning manifests within our world, and how best to behold it. “My language was born among trees, / it holds the taste of earth; / my ancestors’ tongue is my home.” So writes Humberto Ak’abal, a K’iche’ Maya poet born in Momostenango, in the western highlands of Guatemala. A legacy of land and language courses through the pages of this spirited collection, offering an expansive take on this internationally renowned poet’s work. Written originally in the Indigenous K’iche’ language and translated from the Spanish by acclaimed poet Michael Bazzett, these poems blossom from the landscape that raised Ak’abal—mountains covered in cloud forest, deep ravines, terraced fields of maize. His unpretentious verse models a contraconquista—counter-conquest—perspective, one that resists the impulse to impose meaning on the world and encourages us to receive it instead. “In church,” he writes, “the only prayer you hear / comes from the trees / they turned into pews.” Every living thing has its song, these poems suggest. We need only listen for it. Attuned, uncompromising, Ak’abal teaches readers to recognize grace in every earthly observation—in the wind, carrying a forgotten name. In the roots, whose floral messengers “tell us / what earth is like / on the inside.” Even in the birds, who “sing in mid-flight / and shit while flying.” At turns playful and pointed, this prescient entry in the Seedbank series is a transcendent celebration of both K’iche’ indigeneity and Ak’abal’s lifetime of work.

Buddy Wakefield’s third book, Gentleman Practice, documents the figurative contents of a man’s body attempting to stand firm in the presence of all that is. It’s a poetry book, from the perspective of a journal entry in the National Archives. The National Archives live in a building in Seattle behind barbed wire, directly next door to the Center for Spiritual Living. This is no accident. Gentleman Practice is a disarming de-haunting of accidents. There are no stunt doubles performing the honesty in this book. Head raised and victorious, he has crafted a translation of the human spirit on a small, practical patch, with a very fine tooth indeed. And, while many poetry books read like a thick epic series of sections, Gentleman Practice will no doubt rest in your hands like a well-oiled novel.

Some literature students asked me help them or teach them how to write a poem. So I explored and learned from the ocean of writings. I gave some lectures and workshops to those students on poem writing and they did great job in their initial stage of life. Geeta initiated the efforts first then Preeti, Dipaxi also showed the great character. Purvika was slow starter but she nailed it in the end. They wrote these poems in their class 11th. They have assured me; they will keep on writing the poems and will collaborate in next book also. This book includes 2 poems also composed by Ms. Deepa Jain, trainer of super brain activation program of Brai-Knowset Company. This book includes one special poem also composed by my father Dr. Anil Kumar Sharma for my mother Mrs. Lalita Sharma. I dedicate this book to my mother, first guru of my life so I felt only poem of my father will justice the term ‘dedication’. So this book as its tag line also says by the students, for the students and to the students truly indicates the inner feelings of students. In my opinion till are death we always learn something new day by day. We all are students till the end of our life. I think if we will be able to inspire a single adolescence scholar from our writing then it will be a great achievement for us as an educationist and constant learner.

Perhaps no other classical text has proved its versatility so much as Ovid's epic poem. A staple of undergraduate courses in Classical Studies, Latin, English and Comparative Literature, Metamorphoses is arguably one of the most important, canonical Latin texts and certainly among the most widely read and studied. Ovid's 'Metamorphoses': A Reader's Guide is the ideal companion to this epic classical text offering guidance on: • Literary, historical and cultural context • Key themes • Reading the text • Reception and influence • Further reading

This book explores the apparent contradictions behind Japan's stated goal of nuclear disarmament and its tacit acceptance of being protected by the U.S. nuclear umbrella.

This book is based on a simple concept: no one is in a better position to hold a government accountable than those it governs. When governments fail to meet the needs of their citizens, the international community often turns to large external organizations such as the International Monetary Fund or the World Bank. These analysts and monitors may have the resources and expertise to analyze and advise on public spending and governance, but where do they go when the time comes to implement new policies? And can they really have a more nuanced understanding of the country's problems than its own citizens? Who is there to watch day and night to hold the government accountable? From the Ground Up proposes that the international community's efforts to improve public expenditure and budget execution decisions would be more effective if done in collaboration with local independent monitoring organizations. Stephen Kosack, Courtney Tolmie, and Charles Griffin track the work of sixteen independent monitoring organizations from across the developing world, demonstrating how these relatively small groups of local researchers produce both thoughtful analysis and workable solutions. They achieve these results because their vantage point allows them to more effectively discern problems with governance and to communicate with their fellow citizens about the ideals and methods of good governance. The authors also outline some disadvantages facing independent monitoring organizations, such as insufficient resources, inadequate access to data, and too little influence with high government officials. Collaboration with larger international organizations could help independent monitoring organizations overcome such obstacles, increasing their chances of improving governance—from the ground up.

When the law makes decisions about groups based on averages, the public benefit can be enormous. On the other hand, profiling and stereotyping may lead to injustice. As Schauer argues, there is good profiling and bad profiling. If we can effectively determine which is which, we stand to gain, not lose, a measure of justice.

This volume is the product of scholars of various backgrounds, specialties and agendas bringing forth their most treasured findings regarding the Chinese Catholic Church. The chapters in this book covering the church from 1900 to the present trace the development of the Church in China from many historical and disciplinary vantage points.

Katherine Tonkiss offers a succinct account of constitutional patriotism theory, specifically arguing that it involves a commitment to free migration. She draws on qualitative research to explore the implications of this claim for the dynamics of post-national identity and belonging in local communities.

Cass Sunstein and Martha Nussbaum bring together an all-star cast of contributors to explore the legal and political issues that underlie the campaign for animal rights and the opposition to it. Addressing ethical questions about ownership, protection against unjustified suffering, and the ability of animals to make their own choices free from human control, the authors offer numerous different perspectives on animal rights and animal welfare. They show that whatever one's ultimate conclusions, the relationship between human beings and nonhuman animals is being fundamentally rethought. This book offers a state-of-the-art treatment of that rethinking.

The Italian Emigration of Modern Times examines diplomatic issues that arose between Italy and the United States over a series of lynchings of Italian immigrant labourers before World War I. The work explores a significant epoch in Italian economic and diplomatic history which became intertwined with American ethnic and race relations issues. On one level, the book emphasises the pragmatism and restraint which characterized Italy’s official reactions to these repeated episodes of murder of its nationals. On another level, it shows that the diplomatic crises which swirled around the lynching of Italians pushed onto the American political scene the question of whether there should be a federal anti-lynching law. Naturally, the lynching of Italian nationals in the US produced wide public outrage in Italy. Italian domestic outcries presented the Italian government with a serious dilemma. Emigrant savings and financial transfers to family members remaining in Italy were an important economic asset. Italian diplomats launched investigations and protested vigorously, but ended up accepting federal financial compensation for the victims’ families. The consistent pragmatism and restraint of the Italian government through these episodes of violence is the unifying theme of the entire work.

E-Governance has been one of the strategic sectors of reform in India since late 1990s under the rubric of ‘good governance’ agenda promoted by International Organizations. As India’s policy focus changed towards economic liberalization, deregulation and privatization proliferating domestic and foreign investment, ICT (Information Communication Technology) has been one of the leading areas for such heightened investment. Consequently, there has been a burgeoning interest in deploying ICT, in revamping the public service delivery and eventually the overall system of governance. This book analyses e-Governance in India and argues that such initiatives did not take place in isolation but followed in the footsteps of broader governance reform agenda that has already made considerable impact on the discourses and practices of governance in India. Employing interdisciplinary methodology by combining approaches from the Political Sciences, Sociology and Postcolonial/ transcultural studies, this book presents a qualitative account of the policies and practices of e-Governance reform in India along with a detailed case study of the Common Services Centres (CSCs) Scheme under the National e-Governance Plan of the Government of India and its resultant impact on the overall system of governance. It unfolds general theoretical issues in terms of the relationship between technology and governance and the entanglement of politics, technology and culture in the complex whole of governance. This furthers our understanding of the impact of the transnational governance reform agenda on post-colonial and post-communist societies of the developing world. Making an important and original contribution to the emerging field of e-Governance and to the existing body of research on governance in general, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of Political Science, Political Sociology, South Asian Politics and Governance.

“Perlstein...aims here at nothing less than weaving a tapestry of social upheaval. His success is dazzling.” —Los Angeles Times “Both brilliant and fun, a consuming journey back into the making of modern politics.” —Jon Meacham “Nixonland is a grand historical epic. Rick Perlstein has turned a story we think we know—American politics between the opposing presidential landslides of 1964 and 1972—into an often-surprising and always-fascinating new narrative.” —Jeffrey Toobin Rick Perlstein’s bestselling account of how the Nixon era laid the groundwork for the political divide that marks our country today. Told with vivid urgency and sharp political insight, Nixonland recaptures America’s turbulent 1960s and early 1970s and reveals how Richard Nixon rose from the political grave to seize and hold the presidency of the United States. Perlstein’s epic account begins in the blood and fire of the 1965 Watts riots, nine months after Lyndon Johnson’s historic landslide victory over Barry Goldwater appeared to herald a permanent liberal consensus in the United States. Yet the next year, scores of liberals were tossed out of Congress, America was more divided than ever, and a disgraced politician was on his way to a shocking comeback: Richard Nixon. Between 1965 and 1972 America experienced no less than a second civil war. Out of its ashes, the political world we know now was born. Filled with prodigious research and driven by a powerful narrative, Rick Perlstein’s magisterial account of how it all happened confirms his place as one of our country’s most celebrated historians.

Un drama económico, social y de derechos humanos se denuncia en Venezuela, tal como informan las Naciones Unidas y la Alta Comisionada para los Derechos Humanos de ese organismo. Hasta mediados del 2019 las cifras indicaban que más de 4.500.000 venezolanos habían dejado su país. Buena parte de ellos se dirigió a la Argentina buscando refugio y poder seguir adelante con sus vidas. Carolina Amoroso, que vivió gran parte de su adolescencia en Venezuela, país que ama y añora, recoge los testimonios de estos migrantes de diferente origen. Con prólogo de Joaquín Morales Sola, el libro nos acerca a esa comunidad que se aferra a sus esperanzas y que entiende, quizás como nunca antes, el sentido profundo de empezar de nuevo.

What comes first to mind when one thinks of political trials in South Africa are the Rivonia Trial of 1956–61 and the Treason Trial of 1963–64. Rarely, if ever, is the 1976 SASO/BPC trial mentioned in the same breath and yet it was perhaps the most political trial of all. The defendants, all members of the South African Students Organisation, or the Black People’s Convention, were in the dock for having the temerity to think; to have opinions; to envisage a more just and humane society. It was a trial about ideas, but as it unfolded it became a trial of the entire philosophy of Black Consciousness and those who championed its cause. On 2 May 1976, senior counsel for the defence in the trial of nine black activists in Pretoria called to the witness stand Stephen Bantu Biko. Although Biko was known to the authorities, and indeed was serving a banning order, not much about the man was known by anyone outside of his colleagues and the Black Consciousness Movement. That was about to change with his appearance as a witness in the SASO/BPC case. He entered the courtroom known to some, but after his four-day testimony he left as a celebrity known to all.

This book explores the increasing political and social prominence of Islamist groups across the Middle East in recent years. The aftermath of the 2011 uprisings saw some groups access or even control political institutions through success at the ballot box, while there has also been a marked resurgence of armed Islamist groups that have had profound effects at both the national and regional level. This volume helps us to understand the nature and development of organised political Islam over recent decades in several key Arab and Mediterranean countries: Mauritania, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, the Palestinian Territories, and Turkey. The book identifies the central social and political Islamist actors, traces their ideological differences and similarities, and analyses power relations both within and between these organizations in the context of political instability and uncertainty. It will be of interest to students and scholars across a broad range of disciplines including political science, sociology, and international relations.

This volume introduces the United Nations by considering its purposes, as stated in Article 1 of its Charter. It provides a concise history of this institution, and describes its structure, concentrating on its Funds and Programmes, Specialized Agencies, and Regional Commissions. It then splits the work into two different major sections, on the basis of topic and geographical region. The former includes the following: development, education, environment, food and agriculture, and peace and security, while the latter comprises Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceania. These are followed by reflective comments and concluding remarks.

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! NPR 2024 "Books We Love" Selection "Shuster crafts an intimate account of the Russian invasion, which vividly captures Zelensky’s transformation from a clean-cut funnyman into a war hero out of central casting." --New York Times Book Review; Editors' Choice Selection “The Showman surpasses all similar efforts to date and is set to be the standard by which all other works on Mr. Zelensky and Ukraine’s wartime politics will be judged." —Wall Street Journal A monumental account of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the forging of a leader, The Showman provides an insider’s perspective on the war reshaping our world, based on unprecedented access to Volodymyr Zelensky and the high command in Kyiv. Time correspondent Simon Shuster chronicles the life and leadership of Volodymyr Zelensky from the dressing rooms of his variety shows to the muddy trenches of Ukraine’s war with Russia. Based on four years of reporting; extensive travels with President Zelensky to the front; and dozens of interviews with him, his wife, his friends and enemies, his advisers, ministers and military commanders, Shuster tells the intimate and revealing story of the president’s evolution from a slapstick actor to a symbol of resilience. In their most candid accounts of the war so far, members of Zelensky’s inner circle show how the president’s character changed under the strains of leadership and the horrors he witnessed each day. His wife, First Lady Olena Zelenska, describes her escape from Kyiv with their children, her life on the run, and the tensions that emerged in her marriage as she struggled to return to a meaningful role in the administration. Ukraine’s top military commander, General Valery Zaluzhny, shares the untold story of his fraught relationship with the president and the subsequent consequences. Reflecting on their own regrets and critical decisions, Zelensky and his senior aides open up about the causes of the Russian invasion and how it may have been avoided. They describe with astonishing frankness how their peace talks with Vladimir Putin fell apart and how their faith in the U.S. faltered, both under Donald Trump and Joe Biden. The Showman provides the first inside account of Zelensky’s life amid the invasion, offering a clear-eyed view of his failures to prepare for it and his willingness to silence dissent under martial law. What emerges is a complex picture of a man struggling to break what he sees as a historical cycle of oppression that began generations before he was born. Even as the war drags on, Zelensky lays out his vision for its future course and, through his actions, demonstrates his strategy for countering the Russians and keeping the West on his side. The Showman, as a work of eyewitness journalism, provides an essential perspective on the war defining our age, resulting in a riveting, vivid portrait of the invasion as experienced by its number one target and improbable hero.

Named a Best Book of the Year by Elle A CNN, NPR, and Today Most-Anticipated Book of 2024 A “gripping” (CNN), true account of religious extremism, radicalization, and the bonds of family: the story of an American woman who traveled to ISIS-controlled Syria with her two children and extremist husband and the sister back home who worked tirelessly to help her escape. Raised in a restrictive Jehovah’s Witness community in Arkansas, sisters Lori and Sam Sally spent their teens and twenties moving around the South and Midwest, working low-wage jobs and falling in and out of relationships. Caught in an eternal sibling rivalry—where younger, quieter Lori protected outgoing, reckless Sam—the two women eventually married a pair of brothers and settled down in Elkhart, Indiana, just around the corner from each other. It was there that their lives, once mirrors of each other’s, dramatically diverged. While Lori was ultimately able to leave her violent marriage, Sam was drawn deeper into hers—ensnared under the influence of a husband who slowly radicalized, via the internet, into a jihadist. With their daughter and Sam’s child from a previous relationship, the couple moved to Raqqa, Syria, where Moussa fought for ISIS and Sam, who never even converted to Islam, attempted to survive and protect her children from airstrikes, extremist indoctrination, and the brutality of ISIS. In Raqqa, Sam’s oldest son appeared in several Islamic State propaganda videos, and she participated in ISIS’s practice of enslaving Yezidi women and children. Sam says her husband coerced her to move, but Lori—who quit her job and worked nonstop to get Sam out of Syria—isn’t so sure. American Girls combines an in-depth examination of Sam and Lori's lives with on-the-ground reporting from Iraq, providing a rare glimpse into the world of American women who join ISIS. Interweaving deeply reported narrative drama with expert analysis, the book explores how the subjugation and abuse experienced by women in the United States, women like Sam and Lori, are one in the same with the conditions that enable the rise of patriarchal, extremist ideologies like those espoused by ISIS. Fascinating, “timely, and chilling” (Booklist), American Girls is an unforgettable journey—from small-town Arkansas to Raqqa, from domestic abuse to a militant terrorist organization—all told through the extraordinary story of two close, complicated sisters.

La cuarta ola de la derecha extrema ya empezó. Argentina y varios países de la región viven una nueva era de conservadurismo radical en sintonía con otros movimientos mundiales del mismo signo. ¿Cómo funcionan estos grupos? ¿Cuál es su relación con la religión? ¿Qué rol cumplen los fanáticos, los oportunistas, el líder y aquellos que lo rodean? ¿Cuáles son sus vínculos internacionales? ¿Qué papel cumplen las teorías conspirativas y los "microemprendedores" políticos? El sociólogo especializado en el estudio de las derechas, Ariel Goldstein, analiza en este libro el fenómeno que está cambiando a buena parte del mundo con desconocidas consecuencias. Las extremas derechas crecen en la situación de anomia y falta de destino común que viven las sociedades actuales, fruto de una crisis sistémica del capitalismo, agravada por la pandemia y sus consecuencias. El malestar es canalizado colocando la culpa en otros grupos sociales, rompiendo la solidaridad colectiva y agrupando a partir del sentimiento de odio. Esta falta de horizonte y expectativas de futuro lleva al crecimiento de alternativas mesiánicas y autoritarias que prometen resolver las crisis de forma refundacional. Pero el líder mesiánico, autopresentado como "salvador providencial", no está solo. Lo acompaña un grupo importante de fanáticos, oportunistas y "nuevos conversos", personajes intermedios que representan los atributos de los cuales se compone la personalidad del liderazgo principal extremista. La falta de un partido organizado, con estatuto, trayectoria, historia y regulación de las conductas internas, favorece el ingreso de los "microemprendedores" de la política. La derecha radical se nutre principalmente de dos fuentes político-ideológicas: el partido Vox de España y el Partido Republicano de Estados Unidos. Su crecimiento también se explica por la financiación que recibe de "donantes" que antes ponían su dinero para la derecha moderada. Goldstein analiza la situación en los distintos países en los que estas alternativas se hicieron fuertes: Estados Unidos, España, Italia, Israel, Alemania, Hungría, Chile, Brasil, Perú y la Argentina de Milei. Este libro permite entender que la etapa actual no es obra de un loco o producto de un traspié en las urnas, sino que tiene profundas raíces y poderosas ramificaciones a través del mundo. Y, fundamentalmente, nos recuerda que esta derecha extrema no es invencible y que con buenas propuestas y alianzas puede ser derrotada en las urnas.

Are we confronting a new culture--global, online, individualistic? Or is our existing concept of culture in crisis, as explicit, normative systems replace implicit, social values? Olivier Roy's new book explains today's fractures via the extension of individual political and sexual freedoms from the 1960s. For Roy, twentieth-century youth culture disconnected traditional political protest from class, region or ethnicity, fashioning an identity premised on repudiation rather than inheritance of shared history or values. Having spread across generations under neoliberalism and the internet, youth culture is now individualized, ersatz. Without a shared culture, everything becomes an explicit code of how to speak and act, often online. Identities are now defined by socially fragmenting personal traits, creating affinity-based sub-cultures seeking safe spaces: universities for the left, gated communities and hard borders for the right. Increased left- and right-wing references to "identity" fail to confront this deeper crisis of culture and community. Our only option, Roy argues, is to restore social bonds at the grassroots or citizenship level.

Since 1972, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has been the nation's largest philanthropy devoted exclusively to health. To further its mission of improving the health and health care of all Americans, the Foundation strives to foster innovation, develop ideas, disseminate information, and enable committed people to devote their energies to improving the nation's well-being. As part of the Foundation's efforts to inform the public, To Improve Health and Health Care, the ninth volume in the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Anthology series, provides an in-depth look into the programs it funds. Written for policymakers and practitioners, as well as interested members of the public, the series offers valuable lessons for leaders and educators developing plans for the coming years.

In this fascinating book, noted journalist Thomas de Waal--author of the highly acclaimed Black Garden--makes the case that while the Caucasus is often treated as a sub-plot in the history of Russia, or as a mere gateway to Asia, the five-day war in Georgia, which flared into a major international crisis in 2008, proves that this is still a combustible region, whose inner dynamics and history deserve a much more complex appreciation from the wider world. In The Caucasus, de Waal provides this richer, deeper, and much-needed appreciation, one that reveals that the South Caucasus--Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia, and their many smaller regions, enclaves, and breakaway entities--is a fascinating and distinct world unto itself. Providing both historical background and an insightful analysis of the period after 1991, de Waal sheds light on how the region has been scarred by the tumultuous scramble for independence and the three major conflicts that broke out with the end of the Soviet Union--Nagorny Karabakh, Abkhazia, and South Ossetia. The book examines the region as a major energy producer and exporter; offers a compelling account of the Rose Revolution in Georgia, the rise of Mikheil Saakashvili, and the August 2008 war; and considers the failure of the South Caucasus, thus far, to become a single viable region. In addition, the book features a dozen or so "boxes" which provide brief snapshots of such fascinating side topics as the Kurds, Turkish-Armenian rapprochement, the promotion of the region as the "Soviet Florida," and the most famous of all Georgians, Stalin. The Caucasus delivers a vibrantly written and timely account of this turbulent region, one that will prove indispensable for all concerned with world politics. It is, as well, a stimulating read for armchair travelers and for anyone curious about far-flung corners of the world.

« En décembre 2013, j'ai couvert la guerre en Centrafrique aux premiers jours de l'intervention française, l'opération Sangaris. J'étais accompagné d'une jeune photographe, Camille Lepage. Un samedi matin, nous avons assisté à un lynchage. Ce n'étaient pas des soldats russes ou syriens. Ce n'étaient ni des miliciens ni des djihadistes, pas plus que des Nazis ni des tortionnaires français de la guerre d'Algérie. C'étaient des femmes et des hommes de la rue, des gens comme vous et moi. Avec Camille, nous avons été entraînés par ce courant ultra-violent de gens ordinaires. Elle en est morte. » Comment faire l'expérience de la violence extrême sans en être soi-même changé ? Reporter de guerre, Laurent Larcher livre un récit haletant, au coeur des ténèbres, pour comprendre la mort d'une jeune photojournaliste. Du théâtre grec à René Girard, de Michel Foucault au grand roman américain, l'auteur confronte les textes à son expérience des violences de masse, cherchant à cerner cette soif de sang qui bat dans l'histoire de l'humanité.

“A blistering and truly original work of reporting and analysis, uncovering America’s role in homogenizing how the world defines wellness and healing” (Po Bronson). In Crazy Like Us, Ethan Watters reveals that the most devastating consequence of the spread of American culture has not been our golden arches or our bomb craters but our bulldozing of the human psyche itself: We are in the process of homogenizing the way the world goes mad. It is well known that American culture is a dominant force at home and abroad; our exportation of everything from movies to junk food is a well-documented phenomenon. But is it possible America's most troubling impact on the globalizing world has yet to be accounted for? American-style depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and anorexia have begun to spread around the world like contagions, and the virus is us. Traveling from Hong Kong to Sri Lanka to Zanzibar to Japan, acclaimed journalist Ethan Watters witnesses firsthand how Western healers often steamroll indigenous expressions of mental health and madness and replace them with our own. In teaching the rest of the world to think like us, we have been homogenizing the way the world goes mad.

Wut ist nicht gleich Wut. Sie hat viele Gründe: Ungerechtigkeit, Rassismus, Sexismus. Das Ausleben dieser Emotion ist allerdings nicht allen gleichermaßen möglich. Während "besorgte Bürger:innen" ihren Ärger auf Demos kundtun, wirken wütende Marginalisierte in der Öffentlichkeit oft zu laut, zu fordernd, zu bedrohlich. Was aber tun mit Wut, die nicht sein darf? Welchen Raum bekommen wütende Marginalisierte? Und was liegt unter und hinter dieser Wut, die von Ausgrenzung erzeugt wird? Amani Abuzahra stößt in ihrer bestechenden Gesellschaftsanalyse auf Gefühle wie Angst, Scham, Trauer und Erschöpfung, zeichnet eine emotionale Landkarte der Marginalisierten und zeigt, dass Wut nicht nur ein Gefühl mit riesigem Potenzial, sondern auch ein Ort ist, der für alle ein Kraftzentrum sein kann – wenn wir den Mut haben, es zuzulassen.

The #1 English-language bestseller in China--the book that is shaping China's planning and policy for the future. A "gray rhino" is a highly probable, high impact yet all-too-often neglected threat: kin to both the elephant in the room and the improbable and unforeseeable black swan. Gray rhinos are not random surprises, but occur after a series of warnings and visible evidence. The bursting of the housing bubble in 2008, the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and other natural disasters, the new digital technologies that upended the media world, the fall of the Soviet Union...all were evident well in advance. Why do leaders and decision makers keep failing to address obvious dangers before they spiral out of control? Drawing on her extensive background in policy formation and crisis management, as well as in-depth interviews with leaders from around the world, Michele Wucker shows in The Gray Rhino how to recognize and strategically counter looming high impact threats. Filled with persuasive stories, real-world examples, and practical advice, The Gray Rhino is essential reading for managers, investors, planners, policy makers, and anyone who wants to understand how to profit by avoiding getting trampled.

Nearly three decades after the dawn of democracy, South Africa has remained a country of 'two agricultures'. On the one hand we have a subsistence, primarily non-commercial, black farming segment. On the other hand, however, we have a predominantly commercial and white farming sector that is well-resourced and has access to domestic and international trade networks. These disparities can be traced back to South Africa's painful history where, for decades, black farmers were on the margins of government support and also experienced land dispossession and livestock plunder. A Country of Two Agricultures focuses less on history and more on the present and the future, explaining why these disparities have persisted in the democratic era, and what it will take to overcome them. It aims to contribute to a better understanding of the variety of agricultural forces, taking into account both questions of domestic political economy and external factors, as well as to bring to light new risks and opportunities. Wandile Sihlobo offers insights into the role of agriculture in the South African economy from an agricultural economy perspective, and provides political economy insights that are rooted in the experiences of farming communities on the ground and right through the value chain. Beyond insights on the realities this book offers the government, the private sector, and anyone interested in the betterment of the South African economy, tools to grapple with this duality, and proposes a framework for bolstering the black farming segment for growth and competitiveness – and ultimately food security. Wandile Sihlobo is the Chief Economist of the Agricultural Business Chamber of South Africa (Agbiz) and the author of Finding Common Ground: Land, Equity and Agriculture.

Australia's best-informed commentator on US politics provides a blueprint for Australia for Trump's second term. Leading expert and US and Australian politics insider Bruce Wolpe reveals the many ways in which Australia has already been damaged by Donald Trump. Seeping into Australia from above and below, Trumpism has contaminated public debate, emboldened local political and religious extremists, diminished Australia's economy and international relations—and much more. Wolpe predicts America's democracy won't survive a second Trump term. The implications for Australia and for the world are shocking. He explains how Australia can draw on its strengths to protect its democracy, economy and society from Trumpism, and where Australia is vulnerable and needs to build guardrails. He warns Australia might also face an existential question about ties with its most important ally.

Noam Chomsky’s backpocket classic on wartime propaganda and opinion control begins by asserting two models of democracy—one in which the public actively participates, and one in which the public is manipulated and controlled. According to Chomsky, "propaganda is to democracy as the bludgeon is to a totalitarian state," and the mass media is the primary vehicle for delivering propaganda in the United States. From an examination of how Woodrow Wilson’s Creel Commission "succeeded, within six months, in turning a pacifist population into a hysterical, war-mongering population," to Bush Sr.'s war on Iraq, Chomsky examines how the mass media and public relations industries have been used as propaganda to generate public support for going to war. Chomsky further touches on how the modern public relations industry has been influenced by Walter Lippmann’s theory of "spectator democracy," in which the public is seen as a "bewildered herd" that needs to be directed, not empowered; and how the public relations industry in the United States focuses on "controlling the public mind," and not on informing it. Media Control is an invaluable primer on the secret workings of disinformation in democratic societies.

A dazzling piece of narrative nonfiction about land lust and the American West, The Crazies tells the story of a wind farm that triggers a 21st century range war between a struggling fifth-generation rancher and the billionaires next door. Most locals in Big Timber, Montana learn to live with the wind. Rick Jarrett sought his fortune in it. Like his pioneer ancestors who staked their claims in the Treasure State, he believed in his right to make a living off the land—and its newest precious resource, million-dollar wind. Trouble was, Jarrett’s neighbors were some of the wealthiest and most influential men in America, trophy ranchers who’d come West to enjoy magnificent mountain views, not stare at 500-foot wind turbines. And so began an epic showdown that would pull in an ever-widening cast of larger-than-life characters, including a Texas oil and gas tycoon, a roguish wind prospector, a Crow activist fighting for his tribe’s rights to the mountains they hold sacred, and an Olympic athlete-turned-attorney whose path to redemption would lead to Jarrett’s wind farm. A wildly entertaining yarn, the brawl over Crazy Mountain Wind would become a fight over the values that define us as Americans—and a window into how this country actually works. All the while, the most coveted rangeland in the West was being threatened by forces more powerful than anything one man could muster: dwindling snowpack, record drought, raging wildfires. The Crazies is a Western for a warming planet, full of cowboys and billionaires and billionaire cowboys. But it’s also so much more. It’s an exquisitely reported, ruggedly beautiful elegy for a vanishing way of life and a bighearted inquiry into how you can love a place so much you risk destroying it.

Roughly 200 million today, Indian Muslims are greater than the population of Britain and France or Germany put together. According to the Indian Constitution, Indian Muslims are treated as political equals, which is what India’s secular polity promised after its independence, encouraging more than 35 million Indian Muslims at the time of Partition to choose India as their motherland over Pakistan. However, the supposed relationship of equality between Hindus and Muslims as scripted in the constitution is being increasingly replaced by the domineering tendencies of a Hindu majority in India today. The author describes the current state and position of Indian Muslims (the seeds for which were sown when the BJP came to power in 2014) as the thirdpolitical moment; the second he believes was in 1947 when the community was given equal status in the Indian Constitution; and the first, was in 1857 when Indian Muslims learnt to live under the British colonial state. As he states, there is no denying that political circumstances for Indian Muslims were not completely ideal or full of democratic energy prior to the rise of the Hindu Right since the late 1980s. With numerous layers defined by language, ethnicity, region, etc., Muslims have the most heterogeneous identity, representing India’s quintessential diversity. And yet, Muslims are perceived as the most enduring well-grounded threat to the majoritarian project of the Hindu Rashtra. Indian Muslims are perceived or presented as perpetrators of violence and violators of law, even if they are at the receiving end. They are viewed as an internal enemy, who need to be dealt with for political, social, historical, and ideological reasons. Going forward, the community must formulate the language of democratic rights of Indian Muslims as equal citizens and define the ethics of human dignity in their struggle to reassert their place in India’s political power structures at all levels: from panchayat to Parliament. While the economic future or cultural rights of Indian Muslims have been debated since 1947, it is the political future that demands attention because only as an equal and participatory community in the politics of the nation, can economic and cultural futures be addressed. This book explores the political future of Indian Muslims in this context. From Shaheen Bagh to Hindu-Muslim riots, from the unique position of Muslim women in India to the Sachar Report and the Muslim backwardness debate, Mujibur Rehman analyses, confronts and discusses the urgent concerns of Indian Muslims in a manner that is nuanced and globally relevant.

Counterterrorism laws and policies have become a normalized fixture of security agendas across the globe. How do 'us/them' identity constructions contribute to the legitimizing strategies surrounding this development? The British case provides a historically-situated illustration which is of ongoing significance for security and insecurity today.

A “gripping and important” (The Guardian) account of nine tumultuous days, as the assassination of Nelson Mandela’s protégé by a white supremacist threatens to derail South Africa’s democratic transition and plunge the nation into civil war. Johannesburg, Easter weekend, 1993. Nelson Mandela had been released after twenty-seven years in prison and was in power sharing talks with President F.W. de Klerk. After decades of resistance, the apartheid regime seemed poised to fall…until a white supremacist shot and killed Mandela’s popular heir apparent, Chris Hani, in a last desperate attempt to provoke civil war. Twenty-two-year-old rookie journalist Justice Malala was one of the first people at the crime scene. And as he covered the growing chaos of the next nine days—the protests and police brutality, reprisal killings and calls for paramilitary units to get combat-ready—he was terrified the assassin’s plot might succeed. In The Plot to Save South Africa, Malala “masterfully” (Foreign Affairs) unspools this political history in the style of a thriller, alternating between the perspectives of participants across the political spectrum in a riveting, kaleidoscopic account of a country on the brink. Through vivid archival research and shocking original interviews, he digs into questions that were never fully answered in all the tumult at the time: How involved were far-right elements within the South African government in inciting—or even planning—the assassination? And as the time bomb ticked on, how did these political rivals work together with opponents whose ideology they’d long abhorred—despite provocation and their own failures, doubts, and fears—to keep their country from descending into civil war?

A gripping first-person account of how one Israeli grandfather helped rescue two generations of his family on October 7, 2023—a saga that reveals the deep tensions and systemic failures behind Hamas's attacks that day. On the morning of October 7, Amir Tibon and his wife were awakened by mortar rounds exploding near their home in Kibbutz Nahal Oz, a progressive Israeli community less than a mile from Gaza City. Soon, they were holding their two young daughters in the family’s reinforced safe room, urging them not to cry as gunfire echoed just outside the door. With his cell phone battery running low, Amir texted his father: “The girls are behaving really well, but I’m worried they’ll lose patience soon and Hamas will hear us.” Some 45 miles north, Amir’s parents had just cut short an early morning swim along the shores of Tel Aviv. Now, they jumped in their Jeep and sped toward Nahal Oz, armed only with a pistol but intent on saving their family at all costs. In The Gates of Gaza, Amir Tibon tells this harrowing story in full for the first time. He describes his family's ordeal—and the bravery that ultimately led to their rescue—alongside the histories of the place they call home and the systems of power that have kept them and their neighbors in Gaza in harm’s way for decades. Woven throughout is Tibon's own expertise as a longtime international correspondent, as well as more than thirty original interviews: with residents of his kibbutz, with the Israeli soldiers who helped to wrest it from the hands of Hamas, and with experts on Gaza, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the failed peace process. More than one family's odyssey, The Gates of Gaza is the intimate story of a tight-knit community and the broader saga of war, occupation, and hostility between two national movements—a conflict that has not yet extinguished the enduring hope for peace.

This book examines the phenomenon of colorism in India and the Global South and critically analyses the obsession with fair skin and its association with social capital or mobility. Exploring the prevalence of colorism in India, China, Japan, Vietnam, South Africa, Brazil, Argentina, Kenya and Australia, it traces its roots in history, scriptures, travel narratives, contemporary media and popular culture. How much did colonialism and European imperialism contribute to the desire to be white? How have globalization and the spread of consumer culture and Western ideals of beauty helped exacerbate these issues? The author discusses these questions while looking at the aspirations for beauty and modernity among these societies and the growing popularity of the use of creams, lotions and other methods to whiten the skin as a means to assimilate, emulate the West and gain better prospects and life. Lucid and topical, this book will be an essential read for scholars and researchers of race and colorism, sociology, social history, social anthropology, cultural studies, consumer economics, Asian studies and South Asian studies.

The IISS Strategic Dossier Turbulence in the Eastern Mediterranean: Geopolitical, Security and Energy Dynamics surveys the geopolitical landscape, defence dynamics and energy prospects of the region that spans Cyprus, Egypt, Greece, Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Lebanon, Libya, Syria and Turkiye. It assesses the security outlook for the region, considering potential flashpoints for intra- and inter-state conflict and evaluating whether newly developed defence ties could evolve into formal alliances. Energy discoveries made in the region in recent years have spurred states’ ambitions to become energy hubs. The dossier evaluates whether such aspirations could lay the foundations for deeper regional cooperation or, conversely, increase the risk of confrontation. The dossier includes both thematic and country-specific chapters. In addition to the countries in the area of study, it explores the involvement of seven external powers – China, the European Union, France, the Gulf Cooperation Council states, NATO, Russia and the United States – and assesses where the opportunities and risks for these actors lie. This volume will be essential for policymakers and business leaders seeking a better understanding of the factors shaping the geopolitics of the Eastern Mediterranean region.

La cultura predominante desprecia profundamente las ventajas de los vínculos colectivos y los valores comunes para hacer frente a los asuntos que son de todos y cada uno. Sois libres, nos dicen, porque podéis acumular ilimitadamente bienes materiales, aunque eso suponga el sufrimiento de otros seres humanos y el colapso del planeta. Hoy son muchas las personas que se plantean la necesidad de llevar a cabo un cambio cultural, que no desean simplemente plegarse a los mecanismos que nuestra sociedad —toda sociedad— tiene ya dispuestos para ahormarnos; también son muchas las que se sienten impotentes ante las dificultades que obstaculizan esa transformación. Para todas ellas está dedicado este libro. Porque a diferencia de, por ejemplo, los chimpancés, los seres humanos tienen muchas opciones de modificar reflexivamente su conducta, de ahí que Jorge Riechmann nos muestre algunas de las rutas para emprender el camino de una autoconstrucción crítica, tanto personal como colectiva. ¿Quiere esto decir que quienes quieren cambiar los estándares culturales del consumo conspicuo estén en contra de los placeres en la vida cotidiana? No; están en contra de la desigualdad y, por lo tanto, contra aquellos refinamientos y placeres que se compran a costa del padecimiento de otros. Por eso, este libro se interroga por algunas dimensiones culturales de esa posible transformación y desemboca en propuestas como las ecosofías, el descentramiento del ego y la militancia de la alegría.

"Probing, jargon-free and written with the pace of a detective story... [Procter] dissects western museum culture with such forensic fury that it might be difficult for the reader ever to view those institutions in the same way again. " Financial Times 'A smart, accessible and brilliantly structured work that encourages readers to go beyond the grand architecture of cultural institutions and see the problematic colonial histories behind them.' - Sumaya Kassim Should museums be made to give back their marbles? Is it even possible to 'decolonize' our galleries? Must Rhodes fall? How to deal with the colonial history of art in museums and monuments in the public realm is a thorny issue that we are only just beginning to address. Alice Procter, creator of the Uncomfortable Art Tours, provides a manual for deconstructing everything you thought you knew about art history and tells the stories that have been left out of the canon. The book is divided into four chronological sections, named after four different kinds of art space: The Palace, The Classroom, The Memorial and The Playground. Each section tackles the fascinating, enlightening and often shocking stories of a selection of art pieces, including the propaganda painting the East India Company used to justify its rule in India; the tattooed Maori skulls collected as 'art objects' by Europeans; and works by contemporary artists who are taking on colonial history in their work and activism today. The Whole Picture is a much-needed provocation to look more critically at the accepted narratives about art, and rethink and disrupt the way we interact with the museums and galleries that display it.

'Jane Austen practising' Virginia Woolf Three notebooks of Jane Austen's teenage writings survive. The earliest pieces probably date from 1786 or 1787, around the time that Jane, aged 11 or 12, and her older sister and collaborator Cassandra left school. By this point Austen was already an indiscriminate and precocious reader, devouring pulp fiction and classic literature alike; what she read, she soon began to imitate and parody. Unlike many teenage writings then and now, these are not secret or agonized confessions entrusted to a private journal and for the writer's eyes alone. Rather, they are stories to be shared and admired by a named audience of family and friends. Devices and themes which appear subtly in Austen's later fiction run riot openly and exuberantly across the teenage page. Drunkenness, brawling, sexual misdemeanour, theft, and even murder prevail.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Ältere Deutsche Literatur, Mediävistik, Universität Münster, Veranstaltung: Seminar im Auswahlmodul: Das Nibelungenlied, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Inhaltsverzeichnis I. Einleitung S. 1 II. Das Nibelungenlied im Kaiserreich II.1 Nibelungentreue vor und während des I. Weltkrieges S. 2 II.2 „Nibelungentreue“ von Wilhelm Scherer (1916) S. 5 III. Dolchstoßlegende S. 6 IV. Das Nibelungenlied im Nationalsozialismus IV.1 Die Rolle Hagens im Nationalsozialismus S. 7 IV.2 Vereinnahmung „nibelungischer“ Tugenden S. 9 im Nationalsozialismus V. Schluss S. 12 VI. Literaturverzeichnis S. 13 I. Einleitung Das um 1200 von einem unbekannten Dichter zu Pergament gebrachte Nibelungenlied gilt seit seiner Wiederauffindung im Jahre 1755 als das am meisten rezipierte Werk im deutschsprachigen Raum und erfreute sich gerade 50 Jahre nach seiner Wiederentdeckung bis zum Ende des II. Weltkrieges großer Beliebtheit und Bekanntheit. Es wurde vielfach ideologisch vereinnahmt und dabei in für die jeweiligen politischen Interessen erforderliche Weise umgedeutet. Ziel dieser Hausarbeit ist es die Rezeption des Nibelungenliedes in der wechselvollen Zeit der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts zu mit Blick auf die ideologische Vereinnahmung zu beleuchten. Es soll gezeigt werden wie die einzelnen Szenen und Charaktere des Nibelungenliedes umgedeutet und für politische Interessen verwendet wurden. Dabei werden zwei für die Zeit wichtige Rezeptionen des Nibelungenstoffes ausgeklammert: Richard Wagners „Ring der Nibelungen“, sowie Fritz Langs Stummfilm „Die Nibelungen“. Die beiden Werke sind zwar maßgeblich für die Verbreitung des Stoffes der Nibelungensage in ihrer jeweiligen künstlerischen Gestaltung verantwortlich , doch sind sie meines Erachtens nicht mit dem Ziel der Instrumentalisierung des Nibelungenstoffes oder einzelner Charaktere des Nibelungenliedes entstanden und wurden nicht in der Weise ideologisch vereinnahmt oder zu Propagandazwecken herangezogen, dass eine längere Beschäftigung mit den Werken im Rahmen dieser Hausarbeit gerechtfertigt wäre. Ich werde mich mit der im I. Weltkrieg beschworenen „Nibelungentreue“, der „Dolchstoßlegende“ und der Indienstnahme des Nibelungenstoffes durch die Nationalsozialisten befassen.

Die Beiträge behandeln in systematischer und historischer Sicht epistemologisch orientierte Fragen nach dem gesellschaftlichen und kulturellen Standort von Theorie zwischen Wissenschaftskultur und Kulturwissenschaft. Sie gehen dem Eindruck nach, demzufolge die Ambivalenz theoretischer 'Passion' entweder eher zu ereignisträchtigen kulturellen Formen oder aber ins Abseits theoretisch-organisatorischer Betriebsamkeit führt. Nicht nur in den Geisteswissenschaften lässt sich beobachten, dass Theoriebildungsprozesse innerhalb einer vielfach unterschätzten Bandbreite von Denkstilen vonstatten gehen - zwischen Intuition und Konstruktion. Diese Vor- und Nachrationalisierungen theoretischen Denkens hat die bisherige Theoriegeschichte weitgehend unbeachtet gelassen; auch für diese Denkstil-Bandbreite steht der Platzhalter 'kulturell'. Es sind mithin sowohl die gesellschaftlich-institutionellen Einbindungsformen als auch die möglichen kulturellen Ressourcen von Theorie, denen die einzelnen Beiträge des Bandes paradigmatisch (u.a. Dilthey, Valéry, Bachtin, Adorno, Luhmann, Feyerabend) nachgehen.

The 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which transferred more than a third of Mexico's territory to the United States, deferred full U.S. citizenship for Mexican Americans but promised, "in the mean time," to protect their property and liberty. Erin Murrah-Mandril demonstrates that the U.S. government deployed a colonization of time in the Southwest to insure political and economic underdevelopment in the region and to justify excluding Mexican Americans from narratives of U.S. progress. In In the Mean Time, Murrah-Mandril contends that Mexican American authors challenged modern conceptions of empty, homogenous, linear, and progressive time to contest U.S. colonization. Taking a cue from Latina/o and borderlands spatial theories, Murrah-Mandril argues that time, like space, is a socially constructed, ideologically charged medium of power in the Southwest. In the Mean Time draws on literature, autobiography, political documents, and historical narratives composed between 1870 and 1940 to examine the way U.S. colonization altered time in the borderlands. Rather than reinforce the colonial time structure, early Mexican American authors exploited the internal contradictions of Manifest Destiny and U.S. progress to resist domination and situate themselves within the shifting political, economic, and historical present. Read as decolonial narratives, the Mexican American cultural productions examined in this book also offer a new way of understanding Latina/o literary history.

La presente monografía recoge algunos de los resultados y de las investigaciones realizadas en el ámbito del Proyecto de innovación docente “Enseñanza de lenguas y literaturas a través de una perspectiva de género”. Ayudas a la innovación docente, Convocatoria 2023-24. (Ref. 221). IV Plan Propio de Docencia de la Universidad de Sevilla. Reflexionar sobre la enseñanza y los materiales didácticos utilizados en las clases de lengua y literatura es fundamental para poder proponer una formación en igualdad para el alumnado. Los artículos que se recogen en este volumen introducen temas como la rescritura del canon, la recuperación de autoras olvidadas, la lengua y la literatura en las áreas de español, italiano, inglés, alemán, portugués, francés y árabe. Se trata de propuestas que eligen caminos diferentes y menos frecuentados, interpretan y analizan los textos desde una perspectiva de género y una óptica no canónica buscando nuevos recursos y apostando por materiales que permiten reflexiones y debates motivadores para la clase.

All societies are constructed, based on specific rules, norms, and laws. Hence, all ethics and morality are predicated on perceived right or wrong behavior, and much of human culture proves to be the result of a larger discourse on vices and virtues, transgression and ideals, right and wrong. The topics covered in this volume, addressing fundamental concerns of the premodern world, deal with allegedly criminal, or simply wrong behavior which demanded punishment. Sometimes this affected whole groups of people, such as the innocently persecuted Jews, sometimes individuals, such as violent and evil princes. The issue at stake here embraces all of society since it can only survive if a general framework is observed that is based in some way on justice and peace. But literature and the visual arts provide many examples of open and public protests against wrongdoings, ill-conceived ideas and concepts, and stark crimes, such as theft, rape, and murder. In fact, poetic statements or paintings could carry significant potentials against those who deliberately transgressed moral and ethical norms, or who even targeted themselves.

Read by Billy Crudup "These Characters are people we know―they're our quirky neighbors, our creepy bosses, our blind dates from hell. Sharp-tongued Theophrastus, made sharper than ever in this fresh new edition, reminds us that Athenian weirdness is as ageless as Athenian wisdom." —Mary Beard, Professor of Classics at Cambridge University, presenter of BBC's Civilisations When Aristotle wrote that that "comedy is about people worse than ourselves," he may have been recalling a hard-edged gem of a treatise written by his favorite student, Theophrastus. Theophrastus's Characters is a joyous festival of fault-finding: a collection of thirty closely observed personality portraits, defining the full spectrum of human flaws, failings, and follies. With piquant details of speech and behavior taken straight off the streets of ancient Athens, Theophrastus gives us sketches of the mean, vile, and annoying that are comically distorted yet vividly real. Enlivened by Pamela Mensch's fresh translation―the first widely available English version in over half a century―Theophrastus's Characters transports us to a world populated by figures of flesh and blood, not bronze and marble. The wry, inventive drawings help envoke the cankered wit of this most modern of ancient texts. Lightly but helpfully annotated by classicist James Romm, these thirty thumbnail portraits are startlingly recognizable twenty-three centuries later. The characters of Theophrastus are archetypes of human nature that remain insightful, caustic, and relevant.

Here James O'Hara shows how the deceptive nature of prophecy in the Aeneid complicates assessment of the poem's attitude toward its hero's achievement and toward the future of Rome under Augustus Caesar. This close study of the language and rhetorical context of the prophecies reveals that they regularly suppress discouraging material: the gods send promising messages to Aeneas and others to spur them on in their struggles, but these struggles often lead to untimely deaths or other disasters only darkly hinted at by the prophecies. O'Hara finds in these prophecies a persistent subtext that both stresses the human cost of Aeneas' mission and casts doubt on Jupiter's promise to Venus of an "endless empire" for the Romans. O'Hara considers the major prophecies that look confidently toward Augustus' Rome from the standpoint of Vergil's readers, who, like the characters within the poem, must struggle with the possibility that the optimism of the prophecies of Rome is undercut by darker material partially suppressed. The study shows that Vergil links the deception of his characters to the deceptiveness of Roman oratory, politics, and religion, and to the artifice of poetry itself. In response to recent debates about whether the Aeneid is optimistic or pessimistic, O'Hara argues that Vergil expresses both the Romans' hope for the peace of a Golden Age under Augustus and their fear that this hope might be illusory.

Russian culture and Slavic Studies maintain that Gogol is an incontrovertible Russian writer. To call him a Ukrainian is to encounter deep skepticism. Oddly, the grounds of his "Russianness" are rarely made explicit and even less often examined critically. This book address these problems. It shows, for example, how scholars assume that language and theme make Gogol Russian. How others call him Russian by denying Ukrainians status as a separate nation, while still others avoid explanations altogether by representing him as a typical Russian in a national culture and literature. This book challenges such paradigms, situating Gogol within an "imperial culture," where Russian and Ukrainian elites shared intellectual pursuits but clashed over rival national projects. It reveals Gogol as a Ukrainian Russian-language Imperial Writer, a person who embraced an emergent Ukrainian movement while remaining a loyal imperial subject. This book will appeal to Russianists and Ukrainianists, anyone interested in questions of identity, cultural politics, and colonialism. It provides ample context and background, making it suitable for students. Readers who enjoy Taras Bulba will be drawn to the chapter that dispels the myth of its "Russianness."

This is a feminist study of a recurring character type in classic British detective fiction by women - a woman who behaves like a Victorian gentleman. Exploring this character type leads to a new evaluation of the politics of classic detective fiction and the middlebrow novel as a whole.

A craze for collecting swept England during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Aristocrats and middling-sort men alike crammed their homes full of a bewildering variety of physical objects: antique coins, scientific instruments, minerals, mummified corpses, zoological specimens, plants, ethnographic objects from Asia and the Americas, statues, portraits. Why were these bizarre jumbles of artifacts so popular? In Curiosities and Texts, Marjorie Swann demonstrates that collections of physical objects were central to early modern English literature and culture. Swann examines the famous collection of rarities assembled by the Tradescant family; the development of English natural history; narrative catalogs of English landscape features that began to appear in the Tudor and Stuart periods; the writings of Ben Jonson and Robert Herrick; and the foundation of the British Museum. Through this wide-ranging series of case studies, Swann addresses two important questions: How was the collection, which was understood as a form of cultural capital, appropriated in early modern England to construct new social selves and modes of subjectivity? And how did literary texts—both as material objects and as vehicles of representation—participate in the process of negotiating the cultural significance of collectors and collecting? Crafting her unique argument with a balance of detail and insight, Swann sheds new light on material culture's relationship to literature, social authority, and personal identity.

Adeline Virginia Woolf was an English writer, and one of the foremost modernists of the twentieth century. During the interwar period, Woolf was a significant figure in London literary society and a central figure in the influential Bloomsbury Group of intellectuals. Her most famous works include the novels Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927) and Orlando (1928), and the book-length essay A Room of One's Own (1929), with its famous dictum, "A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction." This eBook contains 13 essays on The Art of Fiction by Virginia Woolf: The Narrow Bridge of Art. Hours in a Library. Impassioned Prose. Life and the Novelist. On Rereading Meredith. The Anatomy of Fiction. Gothic Romance. The Supernatural in Fiction. Henry James's Ghost Stories. A Terribly Sensitive Mind. Women and Fiction. An Essay in Criticism. Phases of Fiction.

The most general goal of this book is to propose and illustrate a program of research in word semantics that combines some of the methodology and results in linguistic semantics, primarily that of the generative semantics school, with the rigorously formalized syntactic and semantic framework for the analysis of natural languages developed by Richard Montague and his associates, a framework in which truth and denotation with respect to a model are taken as the fundamental semantic notions. I hope to show, both from the linguist's and the philosopher's point of view, not only why this synthesis can be undertaken but also why it will be useful to pursue it. On the one hand, the linguists' decompositions of word meanings into more primitive parts are by themselves inherently incomplete, in that they deal only in distinctions in meaning without providing an account of what mean ings really are. Not only can these analyses be made complete by a model theoretic semantics, but also such an account of these analyses renders them more exact and more readily testable than they could ever be otherwise.

"Ironisnya, semua pengorbanan masyarakat ini tak jua membuat pemerintah menyadarkan Indorayon, yang sekarang bernama Toba Pulp Lestari (TP), untuk menghargai masyarakat lokal, dan pemerintah menghentikan operasi pabrik. Sebaliknya, protes masyarakat dinilai sebagai tindakan kriminal, anarkhi, melawan pemerintah dan pembangunan, dan dihadapi secara represif dengan kekuatan birokrasi, polisi dan militer. Salah satu kasus paling mutakhir ialah penebangan pohon kemenyan milik masyarakat Pollung. Humbang Hasundutan, yang mendapat protes keras petani kemenyan. Ini menunjukkan bahwa karakter perusahaan itu sama sekali belum berubah" (Arifin Telaumbanua) "IIU/TPL merupakan wujud ideologi Neo liberalisme-kapitalisme. Kapitalisme adalah keserakahan. Selama pemerintah berkiblat ke Neo liberalisme dan kapitalisme sejauh itu juga tidak ada keperpihakan pada kesejahteraan rakyat. Kapital tidak mengenal kata cukup. Kapital bisa membayar polisi, dan pemerintah..." Setelah Kapolres, pergi kami diinterogasi oleh seorang polisi Juru Periksa (Juper). Juper itu membentak dan mencaci maki saya. 'Mentang-mentang sudah ngomong dengan Kapolres, kau pikir kau sudah hebat; karena kau mahasiswa sok hebat; gara-gara kalian saya tidak istirahat; jangan kau tengok-tengok. di mana kau taruh matamu, 'itulah antara lain kata-kata yang dilontarkan oleh Juper itu. Selanjutnya saat pemeriksaan, Juper berulang kali menanyakan kenapa saya diperiksa? Saya tetap katakan 'tidak tahu'. Akhirnya Juper itu mengatakan 'karena melanggar keterlibatan umum'," (Saurlian Siagian) "Meraka pernah melemparkan ikan mati ber ton-ton ke truk Indorayan karena merasa kesal. Masyarakat menunjukkan kepada pihak Indorayan bahwa limbahnya telah menyebabkan kematian ikan mas yang tidak sedikit jumlahnya. Tetapi, Indorayon menutup mata dan telinga, tidak peduli pada keluhan masyarakat, "ujar Ompu Tulus dengan wajah sedih dan suara bergetar (Pindo br. Sitorus) SAYA beberapa kali dipukuli aparat saat aksi. tetapi itu tidak membuat saya kapok. Sebaliknya, itulah yang mendorong saya untuk mau mendampingi petani yang ada di Prosea, yang saya lihat punya nasib yang sama dengan mahasiswa. Mereka menghadapi kekerasan Militer. Adanya kesamaan visi pribadi dan lembaga membuat saya lebih percaya diri dalam melakukan pendampingan terhadap masyarakat korban Indorayon yang menolak TPL. Kelompok korban pembangunan itu harus dibela haknya" (Surung Gunawan Simanjuntak) "Dalam sebuah dialog interaktif yang diprakarsai Bakumsu di Medan, Maret 2003, Pastor Silaen mengawali gagasannya dari nas Alkitab Perjanjian Lama; 'Berbasuhlah dan bersihkanlah dirimu, jauhkanlah perbuatan jahat dari depan mataKu, Berhentilah berbuat jahat, belajarlah berbuat baik, usahakanlah keadilan orang kejam, belalah hak-hak anak-anak yatim ... mari kita berperkara firman Tuhan, sekalipun dosamu merah seperti sirih, akan putih seperti kapur'." (Pastor Silaen)

In this volume, Estelle Haan, one of the world's finest neo-Latinists, makes an important contribution to the study of so often neglected poetry. She uses context & commentary to create an unprecedented understanding of Joseph Addison's poetry. Haan adds to the corpus of neo-Latin poetry, & also offers to non-Latinists with an interest in Addison access to products of his creative imagination that were hitherto unavailable because of the language barrier. The inclusion of material unkonwn to previous Addison editors considerably enhances the volume's value. Illustrations.

The Tyranny of Heaven argues for a new way of reading the figure of Milton's God, contending that Milton rejects kings on earth and in heaven. Though Milton portrays God as a king in Paradise Lost, he does this neither to endorse kingship nor to recommend a monarchical model of deity. Instead, he recommends the Son, who in Paradise Regained rejects external rule as the model of politics and theology for Milton's fit audience though few. The portrait of God in Paradise Lost serves as a scathing critique of the English people and its slow but steady backsliding into the political habits of a nation long used to living under the yoke of kingship, a nation that maintained throughout its brief period of liberty the image of God as a heavenly king, and finally welcomed with open arms the return of a human king. Michael Bryson is a Visiting Assistant Professor of English at Northwestern University.

Defining corruption is an incredibly difficult task. Being at the same time a concept identifying illegitimate and illegal behaviors, mostly connected to positions of power, and a word indicating a process of (moral) degeneration, corruption is hard to tackle and disentangle – especially when one considers how it is perceived and discussed in public discourse. As deviance from the norm, corruption shifts continuously: different cultures recognize different kinds of behavior as "corrupt". Nonetheless, earlier studies on corruption in Greek and Roman antiquity have often tried to define which periods were "more" or "less corrupt", or how corruption influenced the demise of political orders (for example in the late Roman republic or in late antiquity). This volume develops a different approach, focusing on the ways in which ancient sources – literary texts, papyri, laws, etc. – have understood and defined corruption, to gain an emic perspective of corruption in different moments and contexts of Graeco-Roman Antiquity. The volume thus provides an innovative and comprehensive perspective on corruption and anti-corruption in Greek and Roman antiquity, thus providing relevant tools also for today’s discussions about a topic which is and was always current.

This collection enriches and complicates the history of prose fiction between Richardson and Fielding at mid-century and Austen at the turn of the century by focusing on it-narratives, a once popular form largely forgotten by readers and critics alike. The volume also advances important work on eighteenth-century consumer culture and the theory of things. The essays that comprise The Secret Life of Things thus bring new texts, and new ways of thinking about familiar ones, to our notice. Those essays range from the role of it-narratives in period debates about copyright to their complex relationship with object-riddled sentimental fictions, from anti-semitism in Chrysal to jingoistic imperialism in The Adventures of a Rupee, from the it-narrative as a variety of whore's biography to a consideration of its contributions to an emergent middle-class ideology.

Most studies of the interwar years have focussed upon literary elites, rendering that past and its literature in almost exclusively male terms. In Forever England Alison Light argues that we cannot make sense of Englishness in the period, or understand the changes within literary culture, unless we recognise the extent to which the female population represented the nation between the wars. From the traumatic aftermath of the First World War, Forever England traces the making of a conservative national temperament which could be defensive and protective, yet modernising in outlook. In a series of literary anaylses, the author suggests some of the tones and accents of this new version of Englishness; in particular she looks at new kinds of readership and fiction, at the historical and emotional significance of the `whodunit', the burgeoning of historical romance, and the creation of a middlebrow culture in the period. Forever England evokes a powerful sense of period and of the pleasures of reading, providing an intimate picture of interwar life from inside the English middle classes. As a feminist inquiry, it argues from a different kind of social and political history; one which makes connections between the interior structures of private life and their more public national forms. Controversially, it also urges that feminism deal with conservative, as well as radical, desires and their place in women's lives.

Identity, family, and community unite three autobiographical texts by New World crypto-Jews, or descendants of Jews who were forced to convert to Christianity in 17th-century Iberia and Spanish America. Ronnie Perelis presents the fascinating stories of three men who were caught within the matrix of inquisitorial persecution, expanding global trade, and the network of crypto-Jewish activity. Each text, reflects the unique experiences of the author and illuminates their shared, deeply rooted attachment to Iberian culture, their Atlantic peregrinations, and their hunger for spiritual enlightenment. Through these writings, Perelis focuses on the social history of transatlantic travel, the economies of trade that linked Europe to the Americas, and the physical and spiritual journeys that injected broader religious and cultural concerns into this complex historical moment.

نعتقد أنّ ثمّة ما يكفي من الأسباب والدّواعي التي تعطي الباحث مشروعيّة إعادة طرح مثل هذه الأسئلة الإشكاليّة في هذا البحث: ما الخطاب؟ وما النّص؟ وما مقوّمات النّصيّة؟ وما مقوّمات الخطابيّة؟ أو بالأحرى، ما الذي به يكون الخطاب خطاباً في موروثنا الثقافي والحضاري؟ وما الذي به يكون النّص نصّاً في الموروث ذاته؟ وما الفرق بين الاثنين؟ وهل لكلّ منهما ماهية مستقلّة عن ماهية الآخر؟ وكيف تتحقّق؟ أم أنّ الأمر لا يعدو أن يكون مجرّد تسمية مختلفة لمسمّى واحد، بعض الباحثين أطلق عليه مصطلح خطاب، وبعضهم الآخر فضّل أن يطلق عليه مصطلح نصّ؟ وهنا لا يغدو للبحث أو للحديث عن أيّ منهما بمعزل عن الآخر من معنى, ولا تعود له أيّة فائدة، كونه قد بات يتعلّق بأمر محسومة نتائجه سلفاً. وفي محور خاص، فإنّ الباحث قد تساءل عن طبيعة السّلطة التي يجسّدها أو يعبّر عنها، أو يمارسها كلّ من النّص والخطاب: من أين يستمدّان هذه السّلطة؟ وكيف يمارسانها؟! هذا ما يجيب عنه المؤلف في هذا الكتاب.

This collection of fresh essays on Suzanne Collins's epic trilogy spans multiple disciplines. The contributors probe the trilogy's meaning using theories grounded in historicism, feminism, humanism, queer theory, as well as cultural, political, and media studies. The essayists demonstrate diverse perspectives regarding Collins's novels but their works have three elements in common: an appreciation of the trilogy as literature, a belief in its permanent value, and a need to share both appreciation and belief with fellow readers. The 21 essays that follow the context-setting introduction are grouped into four parts: Part I "History, Politics, Economics, and Culture," Part II "Ethics, Aesthetics, and Identity," Part III "Resistance, Surveillance, and Simulacra," and Part IV "Thematic Parallels and Literary Traditions." A core bibliography of dystopian and postapocalyptic works is included, with emphasis on the young adult category--itself an increasingly crucial part of postmodern culture. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.

How are masculinities enacted in Australian theatre? How do Australian playwrights depict masculinities in the present and the past, in the bush and on the beach, in the city and in the suburbs? How do Australian plays dramatise gender issues like father-son relations, romance and intimacy, violence and bullying, mateship and homosexuality, race relations between men, and men's experiences of war and migration? Men at Play explores theatre's role in presenting and contesting images of masculinity in Australia. It ranges from often-produced plays of the 1950s to successful contemporary plays - from Dick Diamond's Reedy River, Ray Lawler's Summer of the Seventeenth Doll, Richard Beynon's The Shifting Heart and Alan Seymour's The One Day of the Year to David Williamson's Sons of Cain, Richard Barrett's The Heartbreak Kid, Gordon Graham's The Boys and Nick Enright's Blackrock. The book looks at plays as they are produced in the theatre and masculinity as it is enacted on the stage. It is written in an accessible style for students and teachers in drama at university and senior high school. The book's contribution to contemporary debates about masculinity will also interest scholars in gender, race and sexuality studies, literary studies and Australian history.

Sebuah karya sastra merupakan kisahan yang senantiasa bergumul dengan para tokoh fiksional yang diciptakan oleh si pengarang. Agar ceritera lebih menarik, si pengarang kerap kali menampilkan perilaku para tokoh dengan kepribadian yang tidak lazim, aneh, atau abnormal, sehingga menimbulkan berbagai perasaan bagi para pembaca. Tidak jarang para pembaca bertanya-tanya, mengapa si tokoh berperilaku demikian, apa yang terjadi pada dirinya, apa penyebabnya, dan apa pula akibat dari semua ini. Bahwasanya masalah perilaku mungkin saja terkait dengan masalah kejiwaan, maka kisahan semacam ini dapat merupakan masalah psikologis. Oleh karena itu, dalam buku yang merupakan hasil penelitian tentang karya-karya sastra Inggris dan Amerika yang bermutu ini, penulis menampilkan beberapa kasus para tokoh fiksional yang mencerminkan konsep-konsep yang terdapat dalam Psikologi Sastra. Para tokoh dimaksud terdapat dalam karya-karya sastra Inggris dan Amerika ciptaan Nathaniel Hawthorne, Eugene O'Neil, Theodore Dreiser, dan D.H. Lawrence. dalam buku ini dibahas pula para tokoh yang mencerminkan beberapa konsep yang terdapat dalam Psikologi Sastra, misalnya konsep-konsep: Oedipus Complex, Electra Complex, Naluri Kematian, rasa Bersalah, Agresivitas, Halusinasi, Konflik Batin, rasa Malu, dan sebagainya. Selain itu, dibahas pula pencerminan Teori Kebutuhan Bertingkat dari Abraham Maslow yang mencakup kebutuhan fisiologis, rasa aman, rasa memiliki dan dicintai, rasa harga diri, dan aktualisasi diri. Selama ini telaah karya sastra melalui pendekatan Psikologi Sastra sering diperdebatkan karena kerap kali hakikat sastra menjadi hilang, telaah sastra seakan-akan menjadi telaah Psikologi. Oleh karena itu, agar telaah sastra psikologis tidak meninggalkan hakikat analisis suatu karya sastra, maka pencerminan berbagai konsep psikologi di atas perlu disampaikan melalui metode perwatakan yang biasa digunakan dalam telaah sastra. Metode-metode tersebut misalnya, telling (langsung), showing(tidak langsung), gaya bahasa bahasa (figurative language): simile, matafor, personifikasi, , dan sudut pandang (point of view). Pembahasan dalam buku ini dapat dijadikan bahan acuan bagi para peneliti, karena paparannya cukup jelas dan terperinci, sehingga buku ini akan bermanfaat bagi para peneliti yang berminat menganalisis suatu karya sastra dalam bahasa apapun.

Together with the noted Tang dynasty tales, Song dynasty tales have long been highly valued and widely read in the Chinese world. As the first English translations of a selected collection of 12 Song dynasty tales, this book opens a window into the world of literature, culture, and the colorful lives of the royal house and common people in the 10th- to 13th-centuries. In addition to the translation and meticulous annotations, it offers a general introduction as well as commentaries on each tale.

Stories accompany us through life from birth to death. But they do not merely entertain, inform, or distress us—they show us what counts as right or wrong and teach us who we are and who we can imagine being. Stories connect people, but they can also disconnect, creating boundaries between people and justifying violence. In Letting Stories Breathe, Arthur W. Frank grapples with this fundamental aspect of our lives, offering both a theory of how stories shape us and a useful method for analyzing them. Along the way he also tells stories: from folktales to research interviews to remembrances. Frank’s unique approach uses literary concepts to ask social scientific questions: how do stories make life good and when do they endanger it? Going beyond theory, he presents a thorough introduction to dialogical narrative analysis, analyzing modes of interpretation, providing specific questions to start analysis, and describing different forms analysis can take. Building on his renowned work exploring the relationship between narrative and illness, Letting Stories Breathe expands Frank’s horizons further, offering a compelling perspective on how stories affect human lives.

Boys Love Manga and Beyond looks at a range of literary, artistic and other cultural products that celebrate the beauty of adolescent boys and young men. In Japan, depiction of the “beautiful boy” has long been a romantic and sexualized trope for both sexes and commands a high degree of cultural visibility today across a range of genres from pop music to animation. In recent decades, “Boys Love” (or simply BL) has emerged as a mainstream genre in manga, anime, and games for girls and young women. This genre was first developed in Japan in the early 1970s by a group of female artists who went on to establish themselves as major figures in Japan's manga industry. By the late 1970s many amateur women fans were getting involved in the BL phenomenon by creating and self-publishing homoerotic parodies of established male manga characters and popular media figures. The popularity of these fan-made products, sold and circulated at huge conventions, has led to an increase in the number of commercial titles available. Today, a wide range of products produced both by professionals and amateurs are brought together under the general rubric of “boys love,” and are rapidly gaining an audience throughout Asia and globally. This collection provides the first comprehensive overview in English of the BL phenomenon in Japan, its history and various subgenres and introduces translations of some key Japanese scholarship not otherwise available. Some chapters detail the historical and cultural contexts that helped BL emerge as a significant part of girls' culture in Japan. Others offer important case studies of BL production, consumption, and circulation and explain why BL has become a controversial topic in contemporary Japan.

Komunitas LGBT merupakan perkumpulan dari individu-individu yang memiliki penyimpangan seksual. Karena penyimpangan seksual yang dialami oleh para individu menjadikan para individu tersebut dipandang berbeda daripada individu yang normal atau heteroseksual. Hal ini menyebabkan para individu LGBT sering kali mengalami masalah hukum baik berurusan dengan hukum pidana atau dengan hukum yang hidup di masyarakat. Perilaku dari komunitas LGBT dapat melanggar norma yang hidup di masyarakat baik dari norma kesusilaan, norma kesopanan, sampai norma agama. Lebih lanjut dalam buku ini perilaku dari komunitas LGBT juga dapat dikategorikan sebagai sebuah tindak pidana sesuai dengan aturan pidana yang berlaku di masyarakat. Buku ini ditujukan bagi masyarakat umum yang ingin memahami isu LGBT dan hukum pidana; para penegak hukum, seperti hakim, jaksa, dan polisi; akademisi dan peneliti di bidang hukum dan HAM; aktivis dan organisasi yang bergerak di bidang LGBT dan HAM. Buku ini diharapkan dapat membuka ruang dialog yang lebih konstruktif dan berimbang tentang komunitas LGBT di Indonesia, khususnya dalam kaitannya dengan hukum pidana. Diharapkan pula buku ini dapat menjadi sumber referensi yang bermanfaat bagi para pemangku kepentingan terkait dalam upaya mewujudkan hukum yang adil dan inklusif bagi semua.

Ann Vasaly introduces representation theory into the study of Ciceronian persuasion and contends that an understanding of milieu—social, political, topographical—is crucial to understanding Ciceronian oratory. As a genre uniquely dependent on an immediate interaction between author and audience, ancient oratory becomes performance art. Vasaly investigates the way Cicero represented the contemporary physical world—places, topography, and monuments, both those seen and those merely mentioned—to his listeners and demonstrates how he used these representations to persuade. Her exceptionally well-written study deftly recaptures the immediacy of Cicero's oratory and makes a trenchant contribution to an important new area of inquiry in Classical Studies. Ann Vasaly introduces representation theory into the study of Ciceronian persuasion and contends that an understanding of milieu—social, political, topographical—is crucial to understanding Ciceronian oratory.

Depression and Narrative examines stories of depression in the context of recent scholarship on illness and narrative, which up to this point has largely focused on physical illness and disability. Contributors from a number of disciplinary perspectives address these narrative accounts of depression, by both sufferers and those who treat them, as they appear in memoirs, diaries, novels, poems, oral interviews, fact sheets, blogs, films, and television shows. Together, they explore the stories we tell about depression: its contested causes; its gendering; the transformations in identity that it entails; and the problems it presents for communication, associated as it is with stigma and shame. Unlike certain physical illnesses, such as cancer, depression is stigmatized—sometimes as a nonproblem (the sufferer should "snap out of it") and sometimes as the slippery slope to madness. Thus, depression narratives have their work cut out for them. This book highlights the work these stories do, including bringing meaning to sufferers, explaining depression, justifying therapies and treatments, and reducing the burden of shame—accounting for a suffering that is, in the end, unaccountable.

Telephus, son of Heracles and king of Mysia, was a key figure in the Trojan War. Both enemy and ally of the Achaeans, he fought against them, was wounded and then cured by Achilles, and led Agamemnon’s army to Troy. This book is the first comprehensive study on his myth. It investigates fragmentary artefacts and texts, offers new readings and interpretations, and frames the evidence in its socio-political, historical, and cultural contexts. What results is a view of an ever-changing myth embedded in diverse cultural milieux, a product and a catalyst of cross-cultural exchanges, and an instrument of soft power. After assessing the sources, this book provides a contextual history of the myth, from the seventh to the first centuries BC, paying particular attention to cultural contacts in the context of migratory movements and consequent hybridisation of different social and cultural systems; repurposing and remodelling of cultural products to follow specific agendas; cultural policy and propaganda enforced through mass media and used as soft power; and more besides. All texts are translated and thus fully accessible to readers interested in myth, migration studies, cross-cultural studies, cultural history, and literary criticism.

This book stems from a simple yet disturbing observation: contemporary British fiction is full of children killing or being killed. Thoughtfully considering novels and films, alongside actual murder cases and moral panics, Dominic Dean develops this insight into a complex account of British cultural history, from the Thatcher to Brexit eras. Killing Children in British Fiction argues that the figure of the child provides means for negotiating, and hence for understanding, recent crises in Britain and their intersections with broader transnational conflicts. The book explores works from major British authors such as Kazuo Ishiguro, Ian McEwan, Doris Lessing, Sarah Waters, Alan Hollinghurst, and Peter Ackroyd; emerging writers such as David Szalay and Melissa Harrison; and filmmakers, including Stanley Kubrick, Nicholas Roeg, Robin Hardy, Derek Jarman, and Remi Weekes. Bridging and often challenging existing scholarship in childhood studies, literary studies, psychoanalysis, and critical and queer theory, Dean shows how the child, at once materially present and representative of an insecure future, can provoke relentless fantasies, fears, and, most troublingly, acts of real violence by adults.

This volume is the first comprehensive handbook of Japanese phonetics and phonology describing the basic phonetic and phonological structures of modern Japanese with main focus on standard Tokyo Japanese. Its primary goal is to provide a comprehensive overview and descriptive generalizations of major phonetic and phonological phenomena in modern Japanese by reviewing important studies in the fields over the past century. It also presents a summary of interesting questions that remain unsolved in the literature. The volume consists of eighteen chapters in addition to an introduction to the whole volume. In addition to providing descriptive generalizations of empirical phonetic/phonological facts, this volume also aims to give an overview of major phonological theories including, but not restricted to, traditional generative phonology, lexical phonology, prosodic morphology, intonational phonology, and the more recent Optimality Theory. It also touches on theories of speech perception and production. This book serves as a comprehensive guide to Japanese phonetics and phonology for all interested in linguistics and speech sciences.

Since the development of pharmacoconvulsive therapy in 1934 and of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in 1938, ECT has proven far more valuable than just the intervention of last resort. In comparison with psychotropic medications, we now know that ECT can act more effectively and more rapidly, with substantial clinical improvement that is often seen after only a few treatments. This is especially true for severely ill patients -- those with severe major depression with psychotic features, acute mania with psychotic features, or catatonia. For patients who are physically debilitated, elderly, or pregnant, ECT is also safer than psychotropic medications. The findings of the American Psychiatric Association (APA) Task Force on ECT were published by the APA in 1990 as the first edition of The Practice of Electroconvulsive Therapy, inaugurating the development of ECT guidelines by groups both within the United States and internationally. Since then, advances in the use of this technically demanding treatment prompted the APA to mandate a second edition. The updated format of this second edition presents background information followed by a summary of applicable recommendations for each chapter. This close integration of the recommendations with their justifications makes the material easy to read, understand, and use. To further enhance usability, recommendations critical to the safe, effective delivery of treatment are marked with the designation "should" to distinguish them from recommendations that are advisable but nonessential (with the designations "encouraged," "suggested," "considered"). The updated content of this second edition, which spans indication for use of ECT, patient evaluation, side effects, concurrent medications, consent procedures (with sample consent forms and patient information booklet), staffing, treatment administration, monitoring of outcome, management of patients following ECT, and documentation, as well as education, and clinical privileging. This volume reflects not only the wide expertise of its contributors, but also involved solicitation of input from a variety of other sources, including applicable medical professional organizations, individual experts in relevant fields, regulatory bodies, and major lay mental health organizations. In addition, the bibliography of this second edition is based upon an exhaustive search of the clinical ECT literature over the past decade and contains more than four times the original number of citations. Complemented by extensive annotations and useful appendixes, this remarkably comprehensive yet practical overview will prove an invaluable resource for practitioners and trainees in psychiatry and related disciplines.

Before the late 1970s, interest in caffeine among both the general public and the scientific community was at a relatively low level for many years, even though it was recognized that caffeine was an al most universal component of the diet. The National Coffee Associa tion was supporting a continuing program of research, some re search was being conducted by a few of the largest companies selling coffee, and an occasional university researcher became inter ested in caffeine and conducted experiments, often on effects of caf feine in very high concentration in vitro on skeletal muscle fibres or on dividing cells. Since 1978, however, there has been a mighty up surge in both public and scientific interest in caffeine. It is interest ing to note that this was prompted not by discovery of hitherto un known effects or hazards of caffeine, but by the actions of a regulatory agency, the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) of the U. S. Public Health Service. The U. S. Congress passed new laws on foods and drugs in 1958. One of the provisions was for testing of food additives to assess risk to health. As it was clearly impracticable to require immediate test ing of all additives already in use, a list was drawn up of some hun dreds of additives that were generally recognized as safe (GRAS).

For readers of Giulia Enders’ Gut and Bill Bryson’s The Body, a surprising, witty and sparkling exploration of the teeming microbiome of possibility in human feces from microbiologist and science journalist Bryn Nelson. The future is sh*t: the literal kind. For most of human history we’ve been, well, disinclined to take a closer look at our body’s natural product—the complex antihero of this story—save for gleaning some prophecy of our own health. But if we were to take more than a passing look at our poop, we would spy a veritable cornucopia of possibilities. We would see potent medicine, sustainable power, and natural fertilizer to restore the world’s depleted lands. We would spy a time capsule of evidence for understanding past lives and murderous ends. We would glimpse effective ways of measuring and improving human health from the cradle to the grave, early warnings of community outbreaks like Covid-19, and new means of identifying environmental harm—and then reversing it. Flush is both an urgent exploration of the world’s single most squandered natural resource, and a cri de coeur (or cri de colon?) for the vast, hidden value in our “waste.” Award-winning journalist and microbiologist Bryn Nelson, PhD, leads readers through the colon and beyond with infectious enthusiasm, helping to usher in a necessary mental shift that could restore our balance with the rest of the planet and save us from ourselves. Unlocking poop’s enormous potential will require us to overcome our shame and disgust and embrace our role as the producers and architects of a more circular economy in which lowly byproducts become our species’ salvation. Locked within you is a medicine cabinet, a biogas pipeline, a glass of drinking water, a mound of fuel briquettes; it’s time to open the doors (carefully!). A dose of medicine, a glass of water, a gallon of rocket fuel, an acre of soil: sometimes hope arrives in surprising packages.

This widely praised, first-of-its-kind book has been thoroughly updated, expanded, and enriched with extensive new case material, illustrations, and link-outs to multimedia, practice guidelines, and more. Written and edited by outstanding world experts, this was the first and remains the leading single-source volume on intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IOM). It is aimed at graduate students and trainees, as well as members of the operative team, including anesthesiologists, technologists, neurophysiologists, surgeons, and nurses. Now commonplace in procedures that place the nervous system at risk, such as orthopedics, neurosurgery, otologic surgery, vascular surgery, and others, effective IOM requires an unusually high degree of coordination among members of the operative team. The purpose of the book is to help students, trainees, and team members acquire a better understanding of one another’s roles and thereby to improve the quality of care and patient safety. From the reviews of the First Edition: “A welcome addition to reference works devoted to the expanding field of nervous system monitoring in the intraoperative period... will serve as a useful guide for many different health care professionals and particularly for anesthesiologists involved with this monitoring modality...An excellent reference...[and] a helpful guide both to the novice and to the developing expert in this field.” ‐‐Canadian Journal of Anesthesia “Impressive... [The book] is well written, indexed, and illustrated...The chapters are all extensively referenced. It is also very good value at the price....I would recommend this book to all residents and especially to all neuroanesthesiologists. It will make a worthwhile addition to their library.” ‐‐Journal of Neurosurgical Anesthesiology

This searing indictment, David Healy’s most comprehensive and forceful argument against the pharmaceuticalization of medicine, tackles problems in health care that are leading to a growing number of deaths and disabilities. Healy, who was the first to draw attention to the now well-publicized suicide-inducing side effects of many anti-depressants, attributes our current state of affairs to three key factors: product rather than process patents on drugs, the classification of certain drugs as prescription-only, and industry-controlled drug trials. These developments have tied the survival of pharmaceutical companies to the development of blockbuster drugs, so that they must overhype benefits and deny real hazards. Healy further explains why these trends have basically ended the possibility of universal health care in the United States and elsewhere around the world. He concludes with suggestions for reform of our currently corrupted evidence-based medical system.

Nanomedicine is the field of science that deals with organic applications of medicine at the nano-scale level.

The revolution in psychiatry that began in earnest in the 1960s led to dramatic advances in the understanding and treatment of manic-depressive illness. Hailed as the most outstanding book in the biomedical sciences when it was originally published in 1990, Manic-Depressive Illness was the first to survey this massive body of evidence comprehensively and to assess its meaning for both clinician and scientist. It also vividly portrayed the experience of manic-depressive illness from the perspective of patients, their doctors, and researchers. Encompassing an understanding about the illness as Kraeplin conceived of it- about its cyclical course and about the essential unity of its bipolar and recurrent unipolar forms- the book has become the definitive work on the topic, revered by both specialists and nonspecialists alike. Now, in this magnificent second edition, Drs. Frederick Goodwin and Kay Redfield Jamison bring their unique contribution to mental health science into the 21st century. In collaboration with a team of other leading scientists, a collaboration designed to preserve the unified voice of the two authors, they exhaustively review the biological and genetic literature that has dominated the field in recent years and incorporate cutting-edge research conducted since publication of the first edition. They also update their surveys of psychological and epidemiological evidence, as well as that pertaining to diagnostic issues, course, and outcome, and they offer practical guidelines for differential diagnosis and clinical management. The medical treatment of manic and depressive episodes is described, strategies for preventing future episodes are given in detail, and psychotherapeutic issues common in this illness are considered. Special emphasis is given to fostering compliance with medication regimens and treating patients who abuse drugs and alcohol or who pose a risk of suicide. This book, unique in the way that it retains the distinct perspective of its authors while assuring the maximum in-depth coverage of a vastly expanded base of scientific knowledge, will be a valuable and necessary addition to the libraries of psychiatrists and other physicians, psychologists, clinical social workers, neuroscientists, pharmacologists, and the patients and families who live with manic-depressive illness.

When Professionals Weep speaks to the humbling and often transformational moments that clinicians experience in their careers as caregivers and healers—moments when it is often hard to separate the influence of our own emotional responses and worldviews from the patient’s or family’s. When ProfessionalsWeep addresses these poignant moments—when the professional's personal experiences with trauma, illness, death, and loss can subtly, often stealthily, surface and affect the helping process. This edition, like the first, both validates clinicians’ experiences and also helps them process and productively address compassion fatigue, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress. New material in the second edition includes increased emphasis on the burgeoning fields of hospice and palliative care, organizational countertransference, mindfulness, and compassionate practice. It includes thought-provoking cases, self-assessments, and exercises that can be used on an individual, dyadic, or group basis. This volume is an invaluable handbook for practitioners in the fields of medicine, mental health, social work, nursing, chaplaincy, the allied health sciences, psychology, and psychiatry.

Shocking new insider information that shows what really happened in Wuhan, China, at the start of the COVID-19 outbreak and in the ensuing cover-up. The day that Dr. Andrew G. Huff left his senior scientist and vice president role at EcoHealth Alliance was one of the happiest days of his life due to the corruption he had witnessed at the organization. However, he never thought working there would be of any great consequence to the future. He was wrong. Because, as an EcoHealth Alliance insider, Dr. Huff had had a ringside seat to one of the biggest cover-ups in history. The Truth about Wuhan contains new research and a breakdown of how and why the development of COVID-19 in the United States and China was supported by the US government to collect intelligence on laboratories in China. Dr. Huff, an expert in the fields of bioterrorism and bio warfare, is a whistleblower who will show why the reasons the lab leak was covered up are incorrect. He worked on the classified research side of the program as a US government scientist. He knows the real how and why COVID-19 emerged. Besides exposing the conspiracy and cover-up, Dr. Huff also puts forth policy solutions and recommendations to prevent a lab leak virus from plaguing the world again. The Truth about Wuhan simply explains the complexity of the system that led to COVID-19’s emergence; how the medical industrial complex grew and became entrenched in gain of function work after 9/11; why EcoHealth Alliance was the (almost) perfect intelligence collection cover; the policy actions and decision-making process as to why the United States government engaged in the COVID cover-up; how and why the United States swapped biotechnology with China and biomedical corporations; and the incentives for each of the actors or governments to engage and coordinate a global cover-up of COVID-19 origins. The Truth about Wuhan also shows how and why Dr. Anthony Fauci is intricately involved in the COVID cover-up; how scientists like EcoHealth Alliance president and CEO Dr. Peter Daszak rose to power and used their influence to corrupt science and the COVID origin investigation; and how the intelligence community likely orchestrated the cover-up with Dr. Anthony Fauci. Dr. Huff also provides personal harrowing accounts of how the US government waged a psychological operation against him to prevent him from speaking out. COVID-19 is the biggest lie, scandal, and intelligence failure in US history, and Dr. Andrew G. Huff is stepping out of the shadows to share his insider story about this failure that led to millions of deaths around the world.

Virus merupakan partikel kecil yang hidup secara obligat pada suatu inang. Kata virus diambil dari bahasa Yunani "venom" yang berarti racun. Secara umum virus terdiri dari asam nukleat, deoxyribo nucleic acid (DNA) atau ribo nucleicacid (RNA), yang diselimuti semacam mantel (kapsid) atau kapsul lemak. Virus yang kompenannya sudah lengkap serta sudah mampu menginfeksi sel inang lain, disebut dengan virion. Sejarah virus diperantarai oleh penemuan botani asal Rusia, Dmitri Ivanovsky. la menemukan semacam suspensi pada jaringan tanaman tembakau yang mirip dengan bakteri. Semula ia berpikir bahwa suspensi tersebut merupakan jenis agen bakteri. Hasil filtrasi tanaman tersebut ketika disemprotkan ke tanaman yang sehat, tanaman yang sehat menjadi sakit. Kisah virus mulai dikenal semenjak terjadinya Flu Spanyol yang terjadi pada tahun 1918 yang menewaskan hampir seperempat populasi dunia kala itu. Virus mulai bisa dideskripsikan, dikelompokkan berdasarkan deskripsi tertentu dan ditemukan zat menyusunnya semenjak ditemukannya mikroskop elektron. Perjalanan virus menjadi makin menarik ketika mulai ditemukan virus yang menyerang tanaman saja, hewan saja, maupun terjadi zoonosis dengan menular ke manusia. Dalam buku ini, pembaca akan diajak memahami mulai dari hal dasar seperti bentuk dan ukuran virus, klasifikasi virus, derajat paparan virus hingga cara replikasi virus secara umum. Materi lebih mendalam akan dibahas mengenai alasan virus hanya menyerang inang tertentu, misalnya virus HIV hanya menyerang sel CD4 pada manusia, bukan pada inang lainnya. Dalam tubuh inang, virus merupakan zat asing yang akan mendapat perlawanan dari inang. Salah satu yang berperan melawannya adalah mekanisme imunitas pada tubuh. Buku ini juga menjabarkan tentang respon imun terhadap infeksi virus. Mulai dari bagian sistem imun yang berekasi ketika ada infeksi virus hingga respon sel yang terinfeksi virus.

The textbook covers all the aspects of interventional radiology (IR), ranging from anatomy, pre-procedural evaluation, technique, post procedure care, and complications. It provides a comprehensive overview of both vascular and non-vascular interventions and thus fills the gap in the existing literature. The Initial chapters of the book focus on the hardware, drugs, contrast media, and imaging systems used in IR enabling the reader to become oriented to the interventional techniques that are covered in the subsequent chapters. Each chapter in the book focuses upon a particular set of interventions on an organ or organ system from head to toe, thereby facilitating convenient reading by the users. This book is designed not only to guide trainees enrolled in super-specialty and fellowship courses in interventional radiology (IR) but also to offer foundational IR training for general radiologists, effectively bridging the gap between general radiology and IR. It equips trainees with all the essential knowledge needed to practice IR and prepare for exams such as FRCR, EDiR, RANZCR, DM, and fellowship examinations. Additionally, it serves as a valuable reference for both practicing general radiologists and interventional radiologists. The book is relevant for MD/DNB trainees in radiology/radiodiagnosis, DM/DNrB trainees in interventional radiology/ neuroradiology/ cardiovascular radiology, and fellowship trainees in interventional radiology and its subspecialties.

Surgery: A Case Based Clinical Review provides the reader with a comprehensive understanding of surgical diseases in one easy to use reference that combines multiple teaching formats. The book begins using a case based approach. The cases presented cover the diseases most commonly encountered on a surgical rotation. The cases are designed to provide the reader with the classic findings on history and physical examination. The case presentation is followed by a series of short questions and answers, designed to provide further understanding of the important aspects of the history, physical examination, differential diagnosis, diagnostic work-up and management, as well as questions that may arise on surgical rounds. Key figures and tables visually reinforce the important elements of the disease process. A brief algorithmic flow chart is provided so the reader can quickly understand the optimal management approach. Two additional special sections further strengthen the student’s comprehension. The first section covers areas of controversy in the diagnosis or management of each disease, and another section discusses pitfalls to avoid, where the inexperienced clinician might get in trouble. The text concludes with a series of multiple choice questions in a surgery shelf/USMLE format with robust explanations. Surgery: A Case Based Clinical Review is based on 20 years of Socratic medical student teaching by a nine-time Golden Apple teaching awardee from the UCLA School of Medicine and will be of great utility for medical students when they rotate on surgery, interns, physician assistant students, nursing students and nurse practitioner students.

The Pfizer Papers features new reports written by WarRoom/DailyClout research volunteers, which are based on the primary source Pfizer clinical trial documents released under court order and on related medical literature. The book shows in high relief that Pfizer’s mRNA COVID-19 vaccine clinical trial was deeply flawed and that the pharmaceutical company knew by November 2020 that its vaccine was neither safe nor effective. The reports detail vaccine-induced harms throughout the human body, including to the reproductive system; show that women suffer vaccine-related adverse events at a 3:1 ratio; expose that vaccine-induced myocarditis is not rare, mild, or transient; and, shockingly, demonstrate that the mRNA vaccines have created a new category of multi-system, multi-organ disease, which is being called “CoVax Disease.” Despite the fact that Pfizer committed in its own clinical trial protocol to follow the placebo arm of its trial for twenty-four months, Pfizer vaccinated approximately 95 percent of placebo recipients by March 2021, thus eliminating the trial’s control group and making it impossible for comparative safety determinations to be made. Just as importantly, The Pfizer Papers makes it clear that the US Food and Drug Administration knew about the shortfalls of Pfizer’s clinical trial as well as the harms caused by the company’s mRNA COVID vaccine product, thus highlighting the FDA’s abject failure to fulfill its mission to “[protect] the public health by ensuring the safety, efficacy, and security of human and veterinary drugs, biological products, and medical devices.” The Pfizer Papers offers an in-depth look at how Big Pharma, the US government, and healthcare entities stand protected behind the broad legal immunity provided by the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP Act) when creating, prescribing, and administering vaccines; and, under that shield of protection, do what is best for their bottom lines rather than for the health and well-being of Americans.

«Todo el mundo debería conocer su árbol genealógico. La familia es nuestro cofre del tesoro o nuestra trampa mortal.» Alejandro Jodorowsky Metagenealogía continúa la estela que dejaron en su día libros tan importantes y necesarios como Psicomagia o La vía del Tarot. Este libro único enseña cómo estudiar y analizar nuestro árbol genealógico, para así poder entender nuestro pasado familiar y sanar nuestro presente. Un paso más allá de las técnicas terapéuticas de la «psicomagia» y la «psicogenealogía», está la Metagenealogía, que «no es estrictamente una terapia, sino un trabajo de toma de conciencia que supone la comprensión de los elementos del pasado que nos han formado, así como el inicio de un impulso futuro al cual nosotros damos forma». La lectura del libro y sus ejercicios hacen al lector tomar conciencia del estado de «salud» del árbol genealógico en el que ha nacido, y también le enseña a ser consciente de la tradición familiar que él carga. Una vez comprendida la influencia que ejercen en nosotros las vidas de bisabuelos, abuelos, padres, tíos o hermanos; o los lazos especiales que algunos miembros de nuestro árbol establecieron entre sí; o cómo la imposición de las ideas y tabúes familiares ha obstaculizado la expansión de nuestro Yo esencial, seremos capaces de desarrollar un nivel de Conciencia más elevado y entregarnos con espíritu libre y sin miedo a nuestro futuro.

Cette édition 10e anniversaire du livre à succès de Bruce Lipton, Biologie des croyances, est une version mise à jour afin de renforcer la prémisse centrale du livre en y intégrant les plus récentes découvertes scientifiques, et l’on sait qu’elles furent très nombreuses depuis une dizaine d’années. Biologie des croyances est une œuvre révolutionnaire dans le domaine de la nouvelle biologie. Chercheur et ex-professeur d’une école de médecine, Bruce H. Lipton, Ph. D., présente ses expériences et celles d’autres scientifiques de pointe qui ont examiné en détail les mécanismes par lesquels les cellules reçoivent et traitent les informations. Les implications de ces recherches changent radicalement notre compréhension de la vie en démontrant que les gènes et l’ADN ne contrôlent pas notre fonctionnement biologique; en réalité, l’ADN est plutôt lui-même contrôlé par des signaux provenant de l’extérieur de la cellule, y compris les messages énergétiques émanant de nos pensées positives ou négatives. Cette synthèse extrêmement prometteuse des meilleures et plus récentes recherches en biologie cellulaire et en physique quantique a été saluée comme une percée majeure car elle démontre que notre corps peut se modifier si nous changeons notre mode de pensée.

Statistics is the language of modern empirical social and behavioural science and the varieties of regression form the basis of this language. Statistical and computing advances have led to new and exciting regressions that have become the necessary tools for any researcher in these fields. In a way that is refreshingly engaging and readable, Wright and London describe the most useful of these techniques and provide step-by-step instructions, using the freeware R, to analyze datasets that can be located on the books′ webpage: www.sagepub.co.uk/wrightandlondon. Techniques covered in this book include multilevel modeling, ANOVA and ANCOVA, path analysis, mediation and moderation, logistic regression (generalized linear models), generalized additive models, and robust methods. These are all tested out using a range of real research examples conducted by the authors in every chapter. Given the wide coverage of techniques, this book will be essential reading for any advanced undergraduate and graduate student (particularly in psychology) and for more experienced researchers wanting to learn how to apply some of the more recent statistical techniques to their datasets. The Authors are donating all royalties from the book to the American Partnership for Eosinophilic Disorders.

Jahrhunderts setzt und an konkreten Fallstudien anschaulich macht.

Those who are pursuing social justice too often fail to incorporate the insights of sociology, and when they do make use of sociology, they often draw heavily from claims that are highly contested, unsupported by the evidence, or outright false. This book shows why learning to think sociologically can help us to think better about social justice, pointing us toward possibilities for social change while also calling attention to our limits; providing us with hope, but also making us cautious. Offering a series of tips for thinking better about social justice, with each chapter giving examples of bad sociological thinking and making the case for drawing from a broader range of sociological theory and research to inform social justice efforts, it advocates an approach rooted in intellectual and moral humility, grounded in the normative principles of classical liberalism. A fresh approach to social justice that argues for the importance of sociological understanding of the world in our efforts to change it, How to Think Better About Social Justice will appeal to scholars and students of sociology with interests in social justice issues and the sociology of morality, as well as those working to bring about social change.

Written by two former U.S. Olympic players and expert coaches, Team Handball: Steps to Success presents 12 easy-to-follow steps to becoming an accomplished player. Each step is an easy transition from the one before. The first steps provide a solid foundation of basic skills and concepts. As players progress, they’ll learn how to combine these skills to attack the goal, decide when to pass and when to shoot, and support their teammates when attacking and defending. The final steps show how teammates can organize as a unit in attack and on defense and how good communication contributes to the effectiveness of the team. Team Handball: Steps to Success features 62 drills that develop players’ shooting, dribbling, passing, and catching skills. The drills come with performance goals and a list of key points to remember in executing them. Plus, many drills include instructions for increasing or decreasing the difficulty of the drill. By studying the book’s 187 illustrations and following the simple instructions, players will learn • why each skill or concept is important, • the keys to proper technique, • how to analyze and correct common errors, • how to practice the skills in game-like situations, and • how to check their progress.

Part of the highly popular Steps to Success Activity Series, this book will help players learn the game quickly and provide the foundation for their future development.

The Magic of Memoir is a memoirist’s companion for when the going gets tough. Editors Linda Joy Myers and Brooke Warner have taught and coached hundreds of memoirists to the completion of their memoirs, and they know that the journey is fraught with belittling messages from both the inner critic and naysayers, voices that make it hard to stay on course with the writing and completion of a book.

A frequent problem area for fiction writers is characterization. If writers jump headlong into a story with only a fuzzy notion about the people who are in it, the result is a collection of characters who are cliched, stereotypical and not very interesting. Creating Characters is an easy to use reference work that looks at character development from many different angles. The book does not tell writers how to write. Instead, it generates a thought process by asking crucial questions about characters' internal and external traits, wants, needs, likes, dislikes, fears, beliefs, strengths, weaknesses, habits and backgrounds. Following these questions, the writer will find an ever deeper and wider array of options. Thus, Creating Characters helps writers delve as deeply into a character's psychology as they want. All characters, and the stories they people, can be made richer and more compelling.

Atlas de Geografía Humana de España Un viaje por los paisajes humanizados españoles Este atlas, denominado así por el elevado número de mapas y planos que contiene, ha sido concebido, en realidad, como un largo viaje a través de nuestro país. Un viaje que ha de servir como apoyo fundamental a todos aquellos que hayan de enfrentarse al estudio de diferentes asignaturas de Geografía de España, pero también al lector curioso, interesado en entender e interpretar las formas y la génesis de los muchos, variados y bellos paisajes geográficos españoles. La obra no pretende responder a todos los interrogantes que se plantea la Geografía actual; los mayores esfuerzos se han centrado en responder a aquellos que sirven para satisfacer un anhelo tan común entre los humanos como es el de conocer su espacio vital, comprender por qué es así la ciudad, la villa o el pueblo en el que viven, o por qué hay diferencias tan acusadas entre los paisajes de los diferentes lugares, comarcas o regiones. Se ha optado por usar un lenguaje sencillo y directo y por organizar los contenidos en párrafos cortos que facilitan la comprensión de las ideas. Además, se define el significado de muchos de los conceptos utilizados de forma puedan ser entendidos de forma inequívoca. A partir de estos principios los contenidos han sido organizados en cinco grandes bloques: • En el primero se sitúa a España en el contexto de Europa y del mundo, y se analizan sus estructuras político-administrativa y territorial • El segundo está dedicado a los recursos territoriales, a su aprovechamiento, su conservación y sus efectos • El tercero aborda el análisis de la población y de las infraestructuras, de sus características actuales y de las dinámicas recientes que permiten comprenderlas • En el cuarto se analizan las principales bases económicas (agroganadería, industria y servicios) y los espacios que han generado durante las últimas décadas • El quinto está dedicado a los paisajes urbanos y a los desequilibrios territoriales Los autores son profesores de reconocido prestigio de las universidades de Oviedo, Valladolid y Sevilla, especialistas en Geografía Humana, Geografía Física y Análisis Geográfico Regional.

«Todo el mundo debería conocer su árbol genealógico. La familia es nuestro cofre del tesoro o nuestra trampa mortal.» Alejandro Jodorowsky Metagenealogía continúa la estela que dejaron en su día libros tan importantes y necesarios como Psicomagia o La vía del Tarot. Este libro único enseña cómo estudiar y analizar nuestro árbol genealógico, para así poder entender nuestro pasado familiar y sanar nuestro presente. Un paso más allá de las técnicas terapéuticas de la «psicomagia» y la «psicogenealogía», está la Metagenealogía, que «no es estrictamente una terapia, sino un trabajo de toma de conciencia que supone la comprensión de los elementos del pasado que nos han formado, así como el inicio de un impulso futuro al cual nosotros damos forma». La lectura del libro y sus ejercicios hacen al lector tomar conciencia del estado de «salud» del árbol genealógico en el que ha nacido, y también le enseña a ser consciente de la tradición familiar que él carga. Una vez comprendida la influencia que ejercen en nosotros las vidas de bisabuelos, abuelos, padres, tíos o hermanos; o los lazos especiales que algunos miembros de nuestro árbol establecieron entre sí; o cómo la imposición de las ideas y tabúes familiares ha obstaculizado la expansión de nuestro Yo esencial, seremos capaces de desarrollar un nivel de Conciencia más elevado y entregarnos con espíritu libre y sin miedo a nuestro futuro.

This bestselling text provides a practical guide to structural equation modeling (SEM) using the Amos Graphical approach. Using clear, everyday language, the text is ideal for those with little to no exposure to either SEM or Amos. The author reviews SEM applications based on actual data taken from her own research. Each chapter "walks" readers through the steps involved (specification, estimation, evaluation, and post hoc modification) in testing a variety of SEM models. Accompanying each application is: an explanation of the issues addressed and a schematic presentation of hypothesized model structure; Amos input and output with interpretations; use of the Amos toolbar icons and pull-down menus; and data upon which the model application was based, together with updated references pertinent to the SEM model tested. Thoroughly updated throughout, the new edition features: All new screen shots featuring Amos Version 23. Descriptions and illustrations of Amos’ new Tables View format which enables the specification of a structural model in spreadsheet form. Key concepts and/or techniques that introduce each chapter. Alternative approaches to model analyses when enabled by Amos thereby allowing users to determine the method best suited to their data. Provides analysis of the same model based on continuous and categorical data (Ch. 5) thereby enabling readers to observe two ways of specifying and testing the same model as well as compare results. All applications based on the Amos graphical mode interface accompanied by more "how to" coverage of graphical techniques unique to Amos. More explanation of key procedures and analyses that address questions posed by readers All application data files are available at www.routledge.com/9781138797031. The two introductory chapters in Section 1 review the fundamental concepts of SEM methodology and a general overview of the Amos program. Section 2 provides single-group analyses applications including two first-order confirmatory factor analytic (CFA) models, one second-order CFA model, and one full latent variable model. Section 3 presents multiple-group analyses applications with two rooted in the analysis of covariance structures and one in the analysis of mean and covariance structures. Two models that are increasingly popular with SEM practitioners, construct validity and testing change over time using the latent growth curve, are presented in Section 4. The book concludes with a review of the use of bootstrapping to address non-normal data and a review of missing (or incomplete) data in Section 5. An ideal supplement for graduate level courses in psychology, education, business, and social and health sciences that cover the fundamentals of SEM with a focus on Amos, this practical text continues to be a favorite of both researchers and practitioners. A prerequisite of basic statistics through regression analysis is recommended but no exposure to either SEM or Amos is required.

You must attend to the commencement of this story, for when we get to the end we shall know more than we do now about a very wicked hobgoblin; he was one of the very worst, for he was a real demon. One day, when he was in a merry mood, he made a looking-glass which had the power of making everything good or beautiful that was reflected in it almost shrink to nothing, while everything that was worthless and bad looked increased in size and worse than ever. The most lovely landscapes appeared like boiled spinach, and the people became hideous, and looked as if they stood on their heads and had no bodies. Their countenances were so distorted that no one could recognize them, and even one freckle on the face appeared to spread over the whole of the nose and mouth. The demon said this was very amusing. When a good or pious thought passed through the mind of any one it was misrepresented in the glass; and then how the demon laughed at his cunning invention. All who went to the demon's school- for he kept a school- talked everywhere of the wonders they had seen, and declared that people could now, for the first time, see what the world and mankind were really like. They carried the glass about everywhere, till at last there was not a land nor a people who had not been looked at through this distorted mirror. They wanted even to fly with it up to heaven to see the angels, but the higher they flew the more slippery the glass became, and they could scarcely hold it, till at last it slipped from their hands, fell to the earth, and was broken into millions of pieces. But now the looking-glass caused more unhappiness than ever, for some of the fragments were not so large as a grain of sand, and they flew about the world into every country. When one of these tiny atoms flew into a person's eye, it stuck there unknown to him, and from that moment he saw everything through a distorted medium, or could see only the worst side of what he looked at, for even the smallest fragment retained the same power which had belonged to the whole mirror. Some few persons even got a fragment of the looking-glass in their hearts, and this was very terrible, for their hearts became cold like a lump of ice. A few of the pieces were so large that they could be used as window-panes; it would have been a sad thing to look at our friends through them. Other pieces were made into spectacles; this was dreadful for those who wore them, for they could see nothing either rightly or justly. At all this the wicked demon laughed till his sides shook- it tickled him so to see the mischief he had done. There were still a number of these little fragments of glass floating about in the air, and now you shall hear what happened with one of them.

When I was pursuing along the banks of the Euphrates the leisurely course of oriental travel, I would sometimes wonder, sitting at night before my tent door, whether it would be possible to cast into shape the experiences that assailed me. And in that spacious hour, when the silence of the embracing wilderness was enhanced rather than broken by the murmur of the river, and by the sounds, scarcely less primeval, that wavered round the camp fire of my nomad hosts, the task broadened out into a shape which was in keeping with the surroundings. Not only would I set myself to trace the story that was scored upon the face of the earth by mouldering wall or half-choked dyke, by the thousand vestiges of former culture which were scattered about my path, but I would attempt to record the daily life and speech of those who had inherited the empty ground whereon empires had risen and expired. Even there, where the mind ranged out unhindered over the whole wide desert, and thought flowed as smoothly as the flowing stream—even there I would realize the difficulty of such an undertaking, and it was there that I conceived the desire to invoke your aid by setting your name upon the first page of my book. To you, so I promised myself, I could make clear the intention when accomplishment lagged far behind it. To you the very landscape would be familiar, though you had never set eyes upon it: the river and the waste which determined, as in your country of the Nile, the direction of mortal energies. And you, with your profound experience of the East, have learnt to reckon with the unbroken continuity of its history. Conqueror follows upon the heels of conqueror, nations are overthrown and cities topple down into the dust, but the conditions of existence are unaltered and irresistibly they fashion the new age in the likeness of the old. “Amurath an Amurath succeeds” and the tale is told again. Where past and present are woven so closely together, the habitual appreciation of the divisions of time slips insensibly away. Yesterday’s raid and an expedition of Shalmaneser fall into the same plane; and indeed what essential difference lies between them? But the reverberation of ancient fame sounds more richly in the ears than the voice of modern achievement. The banks of the Euphrates echo with ghostly alarums; the Mesopotamian deserts are full of the rumour of phantom armies; you will not blame me if I passed among them “trattando l’ombre come cosa salda.”

Research Methods: A Practical Guide for Students and Researchers is a practical guide on how to conduct research systematically and professionally. The book begins by distinguishing between causal and interpretive sciences. It then guides the reader on how to formulate the research question, review the literature, develop the hypothesis or framework, select a suitable research methodology, and analyze both quantitative and qualitative data.The book uses classic examples as exemplars. It also uses many examples from different disciplines and sectors to demonstrate and showcase the inter-connections and wider applications of research tools.The book emphasizes integration. It does not merely provide a smorgasbord of research designs, data collection methods, and ways to analyze data. Instead, it shows how one could formulate research strategies given the outcomes the researchers are required or tasked to deliver.The revised edition includes three new chapters on time series (including spatial models), machine learning, and meta-analysis. In addition, existing chapters have been expanded to include more examples, digital research, and new material.

Providing a lively critical survey of methods for historical research at all levels, this textbook covers well-established sources and methods together with those that are less widely known. It reflects current theoretical and technical approaches to hist

The Dictionary of Louisiana French (DLF) provides the richest inventory of French vocabulary in Louisiana and reflects precisely the speech of the period from 1930 to the present. This dictionary describes the current usage of French-speaking peoples in the five broad regions of South Louisiana: the coastal marshes, the banks of the Mississippi River, the central area, the north, and the western prairie. Data were collected during interviews from at least five persons in each of twenty-four areas in these regions. In addition to the data collected from fieldwork, the dictionary contains material compiled from existing lexical inventories, from texts published after 1930, and from archival recordings. The new authoritative resource, the DLF not only contains the largest number of words and expressions but also provides the most complete information available for each entry. Entries include the word in the conventional French spelling, the pronunciation (including attested variants), the part of speech classification, the English equivalent, and the word's use in common phrases. The DLF features a wealth of illustrative examples derived from fieldwork and textual sources and identification of the parish where the entry was collected or the source from which it was compiled. An English-to-Louisiana French index enables readers to find out how particular notions would be expressed in la Louisiane .

The two parties which divide the state, the party of Conservatism and that od have disputed the possession of the world ever since it was made. This quarrel is the subject of civil history. The conservative party established the reverend hierarchies and monarchies of the most ancient world. The battle of patrician and plebeian, of parent state and colony, of old usage and accommodation to new facts, of the rich and the poor, reappears in all countries and times. The war rages not only in battle-fields, in national councils, and ecclesiastical synods, but agitates every man’s bosom with opposing advantages every hour. On rolls the old world meantime, and now one, now the other gets the day, and still the fight renews itself as if for the first time, under new names and hot personalities.Such an irreconcilable antagonism, of course, must have a correspondent depth of seat in the human constitution. It is the opposition of Past and Future, of Memory and Hope, of the Understanding and the Reason. It is the primal antagonism, the appearance in trifles of the two poles of nature.There is a fragment of old fable which seems somehow to have been dropped from the current mythologies, which may deserve attention, as it appears to relate to this subject.Saturn grew weary of sitting alone, or with none but the great Uranus or Heaven beholding him, and he created an oyster. Then he would act again, but he made nothing more, but went on creating the race of oysters. Then Uranus cried, `a new work, O Saturn! the old is not good again.’Saturn replied. `I fear. There is not only the alternative of making and not making, but also of unmaking. Seest thou the great sea, how it ebbs and flows? so is it with me; my power ebbs; and if I put forth my hands, I shall not do, but undo. Therefore I do what I have done; I hold what I have got; and so I resist Night and Chaos.’

Since 1994, Nancy Mulvany's Indexing Books has been the gold standard for thousands of professional indexers, editors, and authors. This long-awaited second edition, expanded and completely updated, will be equally revered. Like its predecessor, this edition of Indexing Books offers comprehensive, reliable treatment of indexing principles and practices relevant to authors and indexers alike. In addition to practical advice, the book presents a big-picture perspective on the nature and purpose of indexes and their role in published works. New to this edition are discussions of "information overload" and the role of the index, open-system versus closed-system indexing, electronic submission and display of indexes, and trends in software development, among other topics. Mulvany is equally comfortable focusing on the nuts and bolts of indexing—how to determine what is indexable, how to decide the depth of an index, and how to work with publisher instructions—and broadly surveying important sources of indexing guidelines such as The Chicago Manual of Style, Sun Microsystems, Oxford University Press, NISO TR03, and ISO 999. Authors will appreciate Mulvany's in-depth consideration of the costs and benefits of preparing one's own index versus hiring a professional, while professional indexers will value Mulvany's insights into computer-aided indexing. Helpful appendixes include resources for indexers, a worksheet for general index specifications, and a bibliography of sources to consult for further information on a range of topics. Indexing Books is both a practical guide and a manifesto about the vital role of the human-crafted index in the Information Age. As the standard indexing reference, it belongs on the shelves of everyone involved in writing and publishing nonfiction books.

C'est en ces termes que, dans les instructions remises en 1759 au comte de Choiseul, nommé ambassadeur à Vienne, l'un des principaux promoteurs du grand changement survenu au XVIIIe siècle dans la politique de la France, le duc de Choiseul, ministre des affaires étrangères, appréciait ce grave événement, et sa conviction était si profonde qu'il répétait la même pensée, sous la même forme, deux fois encore dans ses instructions diplomatiques, en 1761, pour le comte du Châtelet, en 1766, pour le marquis de Durfort. Le changement avait été radical en effet, et l'étonnement public avait dû être grand. Depuis plus de deux siècles, la France s'était habituée à regarder l'Autriche comme son éternelle rivale. Libre du côté de l'Angleterre qui, pendant tout le Moyen âge, avait été l'ennemie héréditaire, mais que la glorieuse épopée de Jeanne d'Arc et, plus tard, la prise de Calais par François de Guise avaient définitivement rejetée de l'autre côté de la Manche, elle avait eu, depuis le commencement des temps modernes, à défendre non pas seulement sa puissance, mais son existence même contre la double étreinte des Habsbourg, qui, par leurs deux branches, d'Espagne et d'Autriche, la resserraient au Nord, au Midi et à l'Est. Briser cette ceinture qui nous étouffait, repousser au delà de nos frontières naturelles les postes avancés que le roi d'Espagne d'un côté, l'Empereur de l'autre avaient sur le territoire national, reprendre la liberté de nos mouvements et assurer à la couronne de France «le rôle supérieur qui convenait à son ancienneté, à sa dignité et à sa grandeur», tel avait été le but poursuivi, avec une patiente obstination et une habileté patriotique, par les princes qui, depuis François Ier, s'étaient succédé sur le trône et les grands ministres qui les avaient servis. Un moment dissimulée plutôt que suspendue par les troubles religieux sous les derniers Valois, la lutte avait repris avec plus d'éclat et de force sous les Bourbons. Ce combat pour la vie avait été l'origine d'alliances qui avaient dû coûter au Roi Très Chrétien, mais que la nécessité avait imposées: l'alliance avec le sultan et avec les protestants d'Allemagne et de Hollande qui, ennemis de l'Espagne et de l'Autriche, étaient naturellement pour nous d'utiles auxiliaires. Et c'est ainsi que, sous la protection de la France, s'était fondée et développée la grandeur des Hohenzollern, qui, d'électeurs de Brandebourg, étaient devenus rois de Prusse.

Should Liv take herself out of the friend zone, or are they better off there? Liv Granger has been flailing through life since her teens. When her brother, Joe, announces his engagement to his long-term boyfriend, Liv realises that she has never been able to commit to anything – a career, a fixed address, a relationship – and she may, in fact, be a massive loser. With the help of Joe and Henry, her oldest friend, Liv comes up with the Loser List: ten tasks to change her life. The most challenging – three dates with the same person. After each increasingly disastrous date, Henry is always there to the rescue. Has what she’s been looking for been right in front of her the whole time? Between restraining her mother’s wedding planning and doing everything in her power to not be her father’s wingman for his various short-lived girlfriends, Liv learns that the path to self-improvement needs to start with a little self-acceptance... A laugh-out-loud romantic comedy for fans of Sophia Money-Coutts, Sarah Hogle and Sally Thorne. Praise for Liv is Not a Loser ‘A delight to read... hilarious, heartwarming, and healing.

Heartily recommended!’ Laura Starkey ‘An adorable story that you won't put down until you've turned the last page. This is definitely a romance author to be watched!

The bestselling, widely acclaimed translation from Stephen Mitchell "Mitchell's rendition of the Tao Te Ching comes as close to being definitive for our time as any I can imagine. It embodies the virtues its translator credits to the Chinese original: a gemlike lucidity that is radiant with humor, grace, largeheartedness, and deep wisdom." — Huston Smith, author of The Religions of Man In eighty-one brief chapters, Lao-tzu's Tao Te Ching, or Book of the Way, provides advice that imparts balance and perspective, a serene and generous spirit, and teaches us how to work for the good with the effortless skill that comes from being in accord with the Tao—the basic principle of the universe.

Cass Sunstein and Martha Nussbaum bring together an all-star cast of contributors to explore the legal and political issues that underlie the campaign for animal rights and the opposition to it. Addressing ethical questions about ownership, protection against unjustified suffering, and the ability of animals to make their own choices free from human control, the authors offer numerous different perspectives on animal rights and animal welfare. They show that whatever one's ultimate conclusions, the relationship between human beings and nonhuman animals is being fundamentally rethought. This book offers a state-of-the-art treatment of that rethinking.

Paul Bierman’s realization that Greenland’s ice sheet melted when Earth was no warmer than today sounds an alarm for our planet. In 2018, lumps of frozen soil, collected from the bottom of the world’s first deep ice core and lost for decades, reappeared in Denmark. When geologist Paul Bierman and his team first melted a piece of this unique material, they were shocked to find perfectly preserved leaves, twigs, and moss. That observation led them to a startling discovery: Greenland’s ice sheet had melted naturally before, about 400,000 years ago. The remote island’s ice was far more fragile than scientists had realized—unstable even without human interference. In When the Ice Is Gone, Bierman traces the story of this extraordinary finding, revealing how it radically changes our understanding of the Earth and its climate. A longtime researcher in Greenland, he begins with a brief history of the island, both human and geological, explaining how over the last century scientists have learned to read the historical record in ice, deciphering when volcanoes exploded and humans started driving cars fueled by leaded gasoline. For the origins of ice coring, Bierman brings us to Camp Century, a U.S. military base built inside Greenland’s ice sheet, where engineers first drilled through mile-thick ice and into the frozen soil beneath. Decades later, a few feet of that long-frozen earth would reveal its secrets—ancient warmth and melted ice. Changes in Greenland reverberate around the world, with ice melting high in the arctic affecting people everywhere. Bierman explores how losing Greenland’s ice will catalyze devastating events if we don’t change course and address climate change now.

"Riveting. ... Pattison's uncanny ability [is] to write evocatively about science. ... In this, he is every bit as good as the best scientist writers." —New York Times Book Review (Editors' Choice) "Brilliant. ... A work of staggering depth." —Minneapolis Star Tribune A decade in the making, Fossil Men is a scientific detective story played out in anatomy and the natural history of the human body: the first full-length account of the discovery of a startlingly unpredicted human ancestor more than a million years older than Lucy It is the ultimate mystery: where do we come from? In 1994, a team led by fossil-hunting legend Tim White uncovered a set of ancient bones in Ethiopia’s Afar region. Radiometric dating of nearby rocks indicated the resulting skeleton, classified as Ardipithecus ramidus—nicknamed “Ardi”—was an astounding 4.4 million years old, more than a million years older than the world-famous “Lucy.” The team spent the next 15 years studying the bones in strict secrecy, all while continuing to rack up landmark fossil discoveries in the field and becoming increasingly ensnared in bitter disputes with scientific peers and Ethiopian bureaucrats. When finally revealed to the public, Ardi stunned scientists around the world and challenged a half-century of orthodoxy about human evolution—how we started walking upright, how we evolved our nimble hands, and, most significantly, whether we were descended from an ancestor that resembled today’s chimpanzee. But the discovery of Ardi wasn’t just a leap forward in understanding the roots of humanity--it was an attack on scientific convention and the leading authorities of human origins, triggering an epic feud about the oldest family skeleton. In Fossil Men, acclaimed journalist Kermit Pattison brings us a cast of eccentric, obsessive scientists, including White, an uncompromising perfectionist whose virtuoso skills in the field were matched only by his propensity for making enemies; Gen Suwa, a Japanese savant whose deep expertise about teeth rivaled anyone on Earth; Owen Lovejoy, a onetime creationist-turned-paleoanthropologist with radical insights into human locomotion; Berhane Asfaw, who survived imprisonment and torture to become Ethiopia’s most senior paleoanthropologist; Don Johanson, the discoverer of Lucy, who had a rancorous falling out with the Ardi team; and the Leakeys, for decades the most famous family in paleoanthropology. Based on a half-decade of research in Africa, Europe and North America, Fossil Men is not only a brilliant investigation into the origins of the human lineage, but the oldest of human emotions: curiosity, jealousy, perseverance and wonder.

This far-reaching study redraws the intellectual map of the Enlightenment and boldly reassesses the legacy of that highly influential period for us today. Peter Hanns Reill argues that in the middle of the eighteenth century, a major shift occurred in the way Enlightenment thinkers conceived of nature that caused many of them to reject the prevailing doctrine of mechanism and turn to a vitalistic model to account for phenomena in natural history, the life sciences, and chemistry. As he traces the ramifications of this new way of thinking through time and across disciplines, Reill provocatively complicates our understanding of the way key Enlightenment thinkers viewed nature. His sophisticated analysis ultimately questions postmodern narratives that have assumed a monolithic Enlightenment—characterized by the dominance of instrumental reason—that has led to many of the disasters of modern life.

Fire, both inevitable and ubiquitous, plays a crucial role in North American ecosystems. But as necessary as fire is to maintaining healthy ecosystems, it threatens human lives and livelihoods in unacceptable ways. This volume explores the rich yet largely uncharted terrain at the intersection of fire policy, fire science, and fire management in order to find better ways of addressing this pressing dilemma. Written in clear language, it will help scientists, policy makers, and the general public, especially residents of fire-prone areas, better understand where we are today in regard to coping with wildfires, how we got here, and where we need to go. Drawing on abundant historical and analytic information to shed new light on current controversies, Living with Fire offers a dynamic new paradigm for coping with fire that recognizes its critical environmental role. The book also tells how we can rebuild the important ecological and political processes that are necessary for finding better ways to cope with fire and with other complex policy dilemmas.

A chronicle of the passing seasons in Central and Eastern Ontario designed to inform cottagers, gardeners, photographers, suburban backyard birders, and nature enthusiasts alike as to the natural events that can be expected each month of the year.

From one of the world's leading experts on the subject, a fully updated introduction to the sustainability movement from the 1600s to today The word is nearly ubiquitous: at the grocery store we shop for "sustainable foods" that were produced from "sustainable agriculture"; groups ranging from small advocacy organizations to city and state governments to the United Nations tout "sustainable development" as a strategy for local and global stability; and woe betide the city-dweller who doesn't aim for a "sustainable lifestyle." Seeming to have come out of nowhere to dominate the discussion-from permaculture to renewable energy to the local food movement-the ideas that underlie and define sustainability can be traced back several centuries. In this illuminating and fascinating primer, newly revised and updated, Jeremy L. Caradonna does just that, approaching sustainability from a historical perspective and revealing the conditions that gave it shape. Locating the underpinnings of the movement as far back as the 1660s, Caradonna considers the origins of sustainability across many fields throughout Europe and North America. Taking us from the emergence of thoughts guiding sustainable yield forestry in the late 17th and 18th centuries, through the challenges of the Industrial Revolution, the birth of the environmental movement, and the emergence of a concrete effort to promote a balanced approach to development in the latter half of the 20th century, he shows that while sustainability draws upon ideas of social justice, ecological economics, and environmental conservation, it is more than the sum of its parts and blends these ideas together into a dynamic philosophy. Caradonna's book broadens our understanding of what "sustainability" means, revealing how it progressed from a relatively marginal concept to an ideal that shapes everything from individual lifestyles, government and corporate strategies, and even national and international policy. For anyone seeking understand the history of those striving to make the world a better place to live, here's a place to start.

Modern forest products research had its start hardly fifty years ago. Today we are in a position to apply the title "wood science" to the field of wood technology that is based on scientific investigation, theoretical as well as experimental. It is this research that fosters new uses for wood as a raw material and that creates the foundation for new industries for the manufacture of wood-base materials such as plywood, laminated products, particle and fiber board and sand wich construction. Wood technology in its broadest sense combines the disciplines of wood anatomy, biology, chemistry, physics and mechanical technology. It is through this interdisciplinary approach that progress has been made in wood seasoning, wood preservation methods, wood machining, surfacing and gluing, and in the many other processes applied in its utilization. In 1936 the senior author published a book entitled, "Technologie des Holzes", which was a first approach to a universal reference book on wood technology. The first edition of Volume I of the Textbook of Wood Technology, co-authored by H. P. BROWN, A. J. P AN SHIN , and C. C. FORSAITH, was published in 1948. An indication of the rapid development of this field can be gained from the fact that the second edition of "Technologie des Holzes und der Holzwerkstoffe", completely revised, was needed by 1951. It contains 2233 pages compared with the 764 pages of the 1936 edition.

In this new edition of a classic, David Rockwell describes the captivating and awe-inspiring presence of the bear in Native American rituals. The bear played a central role in shamanic rights, initiation, healing and hunting ceremonies, and new year celebrations. Considered together, these traditions are another way of looking at the world, one in which the mysteries of the universe are revealed through animals.

A three-thousand-year history of the Yellow River and the legacy of interactions between humans and the natural landscape From Neolithic times to the present day, the Yellow River and its watershed have both shaped and been shaped by human society. Using the Yellow River to illustrate the long-term effects of environmentally significant human activity, Ruth Mostern unravels the long history of the human relationship with water and soil and the consequences, at times disastrous, of ecological transformations that resulted from human decisions. As Mostern follows the Yellow River through three millennia of history, she underlines how governments consistently ignored the dynamic interrelationships of the river’s varied ecosystems—grasslands, riparian forests, wetlands, and deserts—and the ecological and cultural impacts of their policies. With an interdisciplinary approach informed by archival research and GIS (geographical information system) records, this groundbreaking volume provides unique insight into patterns, transformations, and devastating ruptures throughout ecological history and offers profound conclusions about the way we continue to affect the natural systems upon which we depend.

"THE ULTIMATE DINOSAUR BIOGRAPHY," hails Scientific American: A thrilling new history of the age of dinosaurs, from one of our finest young scientists. "A masterpiece of science writing." —Washington Post A New York Times Bestseller • Goodreads Choice Awards Winner • A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: Smithsonian, Science Friday, The Times (London), Popular Mechanics, Science News "This is scientific storytelling at its most visceral, striding with the beasts through their Triassic dawn, Jurassic dominance, and abrupt demise in the Cretaceous." —Nature The dinosaurs. Sixty-six million years ago, the Earth’s most fearsome creatures vanished. Today they remain one of our planet’s great mysteries. Now The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs reveals their extraordinary, 200-million-year-long story as never before. In this captivating narrative (enlivened with more than seventy original illustrations and photographs), Steve Brusatte, a young American paleontologist who has emerged as one of the foremost stars of the field—naming fifteen new species and leading groundbreaking scientific studies and fieldwork—masterfully tells the complete, surprising, and new history of the dinosaurs, drawing on cutting-edge science to dramatically bring to life their lost world and illuminate their enigmatic origins, spectacular flourishing, astonishing diversity, cataclysmic extinction, and startling living legacy. Captivating and revelatory, The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs is a book for the ages. Brusatte traces the evolution of dinosaurs from their inauspicious start as small shadow dwellers—themselves the beneficiaries of a mass extinction caused by volcanic eruptions at the beginning of the Triassic period—into the dominant array of species every wide-eyed child memorizes today, T. rex, Triceratops, Brontosaurus, and more. This gifted scientist and writer re-creates the dinosaurs’ peak during the Jurassic and Cretaceous, when thousands of species thrived, and winged and feathered dinosaurs, the prehistoric ancestors of modern birds, emerged. The story continues to the end of the Cretaceous period, when a giant asteroid or comet struck the planet and nearly every dinosaur species (but not all) died out, in the most extraordinary extinction event in earth’s history, one full of lessons for today as we confront a “sixth extinction.” Brusatte also recalls compelling stories from his globe-trotting expeditions during one of the most exciting eras in dinosaur research—which he calls “a new golden age of discovery”—and offers thrilling accounts of some of the remarkable findings he and his colleagues have made, including primitive human-sized tyrannosaurs; monstrous carnivores even larger than T. rex; and paradigm-shifting feathered raptors from China. An electrifying scientific history that unearths the dinosaurs’ epic saga, The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs will be a definitive and treasured account for decades to come. Includes 75 images, world maps of the prehistoric earth, and a dinosaur family tree.

This essential reference provides an introduction to the remarkable soils and landscapes of Australia.

This is followed by an invaluable compendium that describes and illustrates over 100 of the more important and widespread soils of Australia, along with their associated landscapes. There is a brief account of each soil's environment, usage and qualities as well as details on chemical and physical properties so we can make more informed decisions about appropriate land-use. Australian Soils and Landscapes will be a valuable resource for farmers, natural resource managers, soil and environmental scientists, students and anyone with an interest in Australia's unique environment.

Wood is the usual end product of a forestry operation. Because of its importance, numerous studies have been made relative to wood prop erties, the causes of wood variation, and how best to develop wood for desired products. There is voluminous literature related to these subjects, but it is neither well known nor appreciated by foresters because the publications are often not available or are not well understood by the forester or by those who use the wood. Frequently, the literature is confusing and contradictory, making it difficult for the nonspecialist to use what information is available. In order to produce and use wood efficiently, the variation pat terns within trees, among trees within species, and among species must be understood. This also requires some knowledge of the causes of variation and the effects of different wood properties upon utiliza tion. The information about variation patterns, their causes, and con trol and effect upon the product must be known by the tree grower, the tree breeder, and the tree harvester as well as by those who ultimately convert wood into a final, salable product.

Tren saat ini terkait kultur starter untuk fermentasi susu mensyaratkan adanya jaminan keamanan (safety), yakni dapat bersifat sebagai probiotik dengan mampu memberikan manfaat kesehatan bagi tubuh. Untuk memberikan jaminan keamanan bagi manusia yang mengonsumsinya, perlu digunakan bakteri starter yang diketahui aman dikonsumsi (generally recognized as safe; GRAS) dan diisolasi dari sistem pencernaan manusia. Dalam konteks aplikasi fermentasi susu, bakteri asam laktat (BAL) diketahui aman dikonsumsi dan mampu digunakan sebagai starter dalam berbagai produk susu fermentasi. Probiotik didefinisikan sebagai bakteri hidup yang ditambahkan untuk meningkatkan status kesehatan. Agar dapat digunakan sebagai probiotik, BAL yang telah diisolasi dari sistem pencernaan manusia perlu diuji dalam hal ketahanan hidup dengan kondisi pH rendah dan keberadaan garam empedu, kemampuan penghambatan patogen, dan kemampuan perlekatan dalam sistem pencernaan. Selanjutnya, untuk memberikan manfaat kesehatan bagi manusia, BAL sebagai kultur starter perlu diuji dalam hal kemampuan mendegradasi prebiotik sebagai substrat bagi probiotik, serta kemampuan sintesis molekul bioaktif seperti conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) yang diketahui mampu berperan sebagai agensia antikanker, antihiperkolesterolemia, dan antidiabetik. Buku ini membahas tentang isolasi dan identifikasi BAL dari sistem pencernaan bayi yang minum air susu ibu (ASI), kemampuan isolat terpilih sebagai probiotik, kemampuan perlekatan secara in vitro dengan menggunakan gastric mucin, kemampuan degradasi prebiotik inulin, serta kemampuan memfermentasi susu dan sintesis CLA. Berdasarkan hasil seleksi, terpilih tiga strain probiotik yang mampu mendegradasi inulin, yaitu Lactobacillus casei strain AP, Lactobacillus casei strain AG, dan Pediococcus acidilactici strain BE. Pengujian lanjut terkait kemampuan sintesis CLA hanya ada satu strain, yaitu Lactobacillus strain AP yang mampu menyintesis CLA dari Linoleic Acid (LA). Kemampuan probiotik dalam hal mendegradasi inulin dan menyintesis CLA merupakan keunggulan untuk aplikasi pada produk pangan. Dengan kemampuan ini, viabilitas probiotik meningkat dalam sistem pencernaan dan dampaknya bagi kesehatan diharapkan juga akan meningkat. Penerapan hasil penelitian ini adalah aplikasi probiotik unggul asal manusia (human-origin) yang aman dan sehat yang dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai bahan pangan fungsional sekaligus agensia pemacu kesehatan tubuh.

When Singapore became a sovereign state in 1965, the fledgling nation faced very similar problems as most other developing countries: high unemployment, low standard of living, and poor environmental conditions. In a scant four decades, it has become the 6th wealthiest country in the world in terms of per capita GDP and has managed its environment so well that it is now considered to be one of the best in the world. In this remarkable book, Tan Yong Soon authoritatively and objectively analyses how the environmental conditions were radically transformed within this period, and the enabling conditions which made this extraordinary transformation possible. This book will unquestionably make all Singaporeans proud of their environmental achievements, and at the same time enable other countries, both developed and developing, to learn many lessons from a most remarkable success story. This book is a must read for any individual interested in environment-development issues. -Prof Asit K. Biswas, President, Third World Centre for Water Management, Mexico and Distinguished Visiting Professor, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, Singapore.

For years, scientists and researchers have studied, speculated about, and searched for an enigmatic creature that is legendary in the annals of American folklore. Now, learn the truth about... BIGFOOT! In this fascinating and comprehensive look at the fact, fiction, and fable of the North American "Sasquatch," award-winning author Loren Coleman takes readers on a journey into America's biggest mystery -- could an unrecognized "ape" be living in our midst? Drawing on over forty years of investigations, interviews, and fieldwork on these incredible beasts, Coleman explores the modern debates about these powerful, ape-like creatures, why they have remained a mystery for so long, and what we can learn about ourselves from these animals, our nearest cousins! From reports of Bigfoot's existence found in ancient Native American traditions, to the controversial Patterson-Gimlin film of a Bigfoot in the wild, to today's Internet sites that record the sightings almost as soon as they occur, Coleman uncovers the past, explains the present, and considers the future of one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in the natural world.

Conventional management approaches cannot meet the challenges faced by ocean and coastal ecosystems today. Consequently, national and international bodies have called for a shift toward more comprehensive ecosystem-based marine management. Synthesizing a vast amount of current knowledge, Ecosystem-Based Management for the Oceans is a comprehensive guide to utilizing this promising new approach. At its core, ecosystem-based management (EBM) is about acknowledging connections. Instead of focusing on the impacts of single activities on the delivery of individual ecosystem services, EBM focuses on the array of services that we receive from marine systems, the interactive and cumulative effects of multiple human activities on these coupled ecological and social systems, and the importance of working towards common goals across sectors. Ecosystem-Based Management for the Oceans provides a conceptual framework for students and professionals who want to understand and utilize this powerful approach. And it employs case studies that draw on the experiences of EBM practitioners to demonstrate how EBM principles can be applied to real-world problems. The book emphasizes the importance of understanding the factors that contribute to social and ecological resilience —the extent to which a system can maintain its structure, function, and identity in the face of disturbance. Utilizing the resilience framework, professionals can better predict how systems will respond to a variety of disturbances, as well as to a range of management alternatives. Ecosystem-Based Management for the Oceans presents the latest science of resilience, while it provides tools for the design and implementation of responsive EBM solutions.

“Woman, Watching is an entrancing blend of biography, memoir, history, research, and homage that is unlike anything I’ve ever read. It’s radical, it’s ravishing.” — Kyo Maclear, author of Birds Art Life From award-winning author Merilyn Simonds, a remarkable biography of an extraordinary woman — a Swedish aristocrat who survived the Russian Revolution to become an internationally renowned naturalist, one of the first to track the mid-century decline of songbirds. Referred to as a Canadian Rachel Carson, Louise de Kiriline Lawrence lived and worked in an isolated log cabin near North Bay. After her husband was murdered by Bolsheviks, she refused her Swedish privilege and joined the Canadian Red Cross, visiting her northern Ontario patients by dogsled. When Elzire Dionne gave birth to five babies, Louise became nurse to the Dionne Quintuplets. Repulsed by the media circus, she retreated to her wilderness cabin, where she devoted herself to studying the birds that nested in her forest. Author of six books and scores of magazine stories, de Kiriline Lawrence and her “loghouse nest” became a Mecca for international ornithologists. Lawrence was an old woman when Merilyn Simonds moved into the woods not far away. Their paths crossed, sparking Simonds’s lifelong interest. A dedicated birder, Simonds brings her own songbird experiences from Canadian nesting grounds and Mexican wintering grounds to this deeply researched, engaging portrait of a uniquely fascinating woman.

Nature no longer exists apart from humanity. The world we will inhabit is the one we have made. Geologists call this epoch the Anthropocene, Age of Humans. The facts of the Anthropocene are scientific—emissions, pollens, extinctions—but its shape and meaning are questions for politics. Jedediah Purdy develops a politics for this post-natural world.

According to a famous Talmudic story (Babylonian Talmud, Tractate Shabbat: 31a), a gentile once approached Rabbi Hillel and asked to be taught the entire Torah while standing on one foot. Hillel replied, ‘Love your neighbour as yourself. That is the entire Torah. The rest is simply an explanation. Go and learn it!’ In much the same way, Jewish law can be described in one word—Torah. All the rest is simply an explanation. The Torah, also known as the Bible, the five books of Moses, and the Pentateuch, was written over 3,000 years ago. Since then, Jewish law has developed various interpretations and applications of the Torah, interpretations of those interpre- tions, and so on. Jewish law contains civil dictates as well as religious protocol. Problems that arose in the framework of religious life and problems surrounding civil relationships both found solutions in the same legal source—the Torah and the Halacha, the Jewish legal interpretations and rulings. This chapter on water law in the Jewish tradition provides insight into Jewish law and custom in general, and rules related to the protection of water sources in particular. One should not look, however, to find a written code of Jewish law, as there is none.

Meet the ladies: a flock of smart, affectionate, highly individualistic chickens who visit their favorite neighbors, devise different ways to hide from foxes, and mob the author like she’s a rock star. In these pages you’ll also meet Maya and Zuni, two orphaned baby hummingbirds who hatched from eggs the size of navy beans, and who are little more than air bubbles fringed with feathers. Their lives hang precariously in the balance—but with human help, they may one day conquer the sky. Snowball is a cockatoo whose dance video went viral on YouTube and who’s now teaching schoolchildren how to dance. You’ll meet Harris’s hawks named Fire and Smoke. And you’ll come to know and love a host of other avian characters who will change your mind forever about who birds really are. Each of these birds shows a different and utterly surprising aspect of what makes a bird a bird—and these are the lessons of Birdology: that birds are far stranger, more wondrous, and at the same time more like us than we might have dared to imagine. In Birdology, beloved author of The Good Good Pig Sy Montgomery explores the essence of the otherworldly creatures we see every day. By way of her adventures with seven birds—wild, tame, exotic, and common—she weaves new scientific insights and narrative to reveal seven kernels of bird wisdom. The first lesson of Birdology is that, no matter how common they are, Birds Are Individuals, as each of Montgomery’s distinctive Ladies clearly shows. In the leech-infested rain forest of Queensland, you’ll come face to face with a cassowary—a 150-pound, man-tall, flightless bird with a helmet of bone on its head and a slashing razor-like toenail with which it (occasionally) eviscerates people—proof that Birds Are Dinosaurs. You’ll learn from hawks that Birds Are Fierce; from pigeons, how Birds Find Their Way Home; from parrots, what it means that Birds Can Talk; and from 50,000 crows who moved into a small city’s downtown, that Birds Are Everywhere. They are the winged aliens who surround us. Birdology explains just how very "other" birds are: Their hearts look like those of crocodiles. They are covered with modified scales, which are called feathers. Their bones are hollow. Their bodies are permeated with extensive air sacs. They have no hands. They give birth to eggs. Yet despite birds’ and humans’ disparate evolutionary paths, we share emotional and intellectual abilities that allow us to communicate and even form deep bonds. When we begin to comprehend who birds really are, we deepen our capacity to approach, understand, and love these otherworldly creatures. And this, ultimately, is the priceless lesson of Birdology: it communicates a heartfelt fascination and awe for birds and restores our connection to these complex, mysterious fellow creatures.

DIVAlthough no one had ever followed North American monarch butterflies on their annual southward journey to Mexico and California, in the 1990s there were well-accepted assumptions about the nature and form of the migration. But to Robert Michael Pyle, a naturalist with long experience in monarch conservation, the received wisdom about the butterflies’ long journey just didn’t make sense. In the autumn of 1996 he set out to uncover the facts, to pursue the tide of “cinnamon sailors” on their long, mysterious flight. Chasing Monarchs chronicles Pyle’s 9,000-mile journey to discover firsthand the secrets of the monarchs’ annual migration. Part road trip, part outdoor adventure, and part natural history study, Pyle’s book overturns old theories and provides insights both large and small regarding monarch butterflies, their biology, and their spectacular migratory travels. Since the book’s first publication, its controversial conclusions have been fully confirmed, and monarchs are better understood than ever before. The Afterword for this volume includes not only updated information on the myriad threats to monarch butterflies, but also various efforts under way to ensure the future of the world’s most amazing butterfly migration./div

"Wild Things is the amazing tale of Donna Matrazzo's coming of age as a grassroots activist and a behind-the-scenes look at the evolution of Portland, Oregon's renowned greenspaces movement by somebody who was there from the start. It is a wonderful story that will inspire a new generation of activists, wherever they may live, to get involved and protect the wild things and wild places that surround them." -Bob Sallinger, Conservation Director, Audubon Society of Portland The planet needs more friends like Donna Matrazzo and it needs more books like this one, which remind us that were all quite capable of making big and useful change. Bill McKibben, author, The End of Nature

Foams and froths are an important feature of everyday life; one only has to think of shaving foam, foam upholstery, fire fighting foam, bread, bear head, and ice cream. Less obvious but equally important are the foams and foaming processes which are being exploited in ever more complex and imaginative ways in industry. However, the unusual nature of foams, the fact that they are neither solids or liquids, and their very fragility has prevented scientists from obtaining a thorough understanding of even the basic principles of foam formation and stability. This volume presents papers on the physics, chemistry, structure and ultrastructure of foams by contributors from a wide range of backgrounds and research disciplines. The aim of the book is to present a unique multi-disciplinary cross section of work currently being undertaken on the subject of foams.

Despite the promising and exciting possibilities presented by new and fast-developing remote sensing technologies applied to urban areas, there is still a gap perceived between the generally academic and research-focused spectrum of results offered by the “urban remote sensing” community and the application of these data and products by the local governmental bodies of urban cities and regions. While there is no end of interesting science questions that we can ask about cities, sometimes these questions don't match well with what the operational problems and concerns of a given city are. The authors present data from six urban regions from all over the world. They explain what the important questions are, and how one can use data and scientific skills to help answer them.

This book surveys the intersections between water systems and the phenomenology of visual cultures in early modern, colonial and contemporary South Asia. Bringing together contributions by eminent artists, architects, curators and scholars who explore the connections between the environmental and the cultural, the volume situates water in an expansive relational domain. It covers disciplines as diverse as literary studies, environmental humanities, sustainable design, urban planning and media studies. The chapters explore the ways in which material cultures of water generate technological and aesthetic acts of envisioning geographies, and make an intervention within political, social and cultural discourses. A critical interjection in the sociologies of water in the subcontinent, the book brings art history into conversation with current debates on climate change by examining water’s artistic, architectural, engineering, religious, scientific and environmental facets from the 16th century to the present. This is one of the first books on South Asia’s art, architecture and visual history to interweave the ecological with the aesthetic under the emerging field of eco art history. The volume will be of interest to scholars and general readers of art history, Islamic studies, South Asian studies, urban studies, architecture, geography, history and environmental studies. It will also appeal to activists, curators, art critics and those interested in water management.

**THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER** In a world that seems so troubled, how do we hold on to hope? Looking at the headlines—the worsening climate crisis, a global pandemic, loss of biodiversity, political upheaval—it can be hard to feel optimistic. And yet hope has never been more desperately needed. In this urgent book, Jane Goodall, the world's most famous living naturalist, and Douglas Abrams, the internationally bestselling co-author of The Book of Joy, explore through intimate and thought-provoking dialogue one of the most sought after and least understood elements of human nature: hope. In The Book of Hope, Jane focuses on her "Four Reasons for Hope": The Amazing Human Intellect, The Resilience of Nature, The Power of Young People, and The Indomitable Human Spirit. Drawing on decades of work that has helped expand our understanding of what it means to be human and what we all need to do to help build a better world, The Book of Hope touches on vital questions, including: How do we stay hopeful when everything seems hopeless? How do we cultivate hope in our children? What is the relationship between hope and action? Filled with moving and inspirational stories and photographs from Jane’s remarkable career, The Book of Hope is a deeply personal conversation with one of the most beloved figures in the world today. While discussing the experiences that shaped her discoveries and beliefs, Jane tells the story of how she became a messenger of hope, from living through World War II to her years in Gombe to realizing she had to leave the forest to travel the world in her role as an advocate for environmental justice. And for the first time, she shares her profound revelations about her next, and perhaps final, adventure. The second book in the Global Icons Series—which launched with the instant classic The Book of Joy with His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu—The Book of Hope is a rare and intimate look not only at the nature of hope but also into the heart and mind of a woman who revolutionized how we view the world around us and has spent a lifetime fighting for our future. There is still hope, and this book will help guide us to it.

Women make up the vast majority of activists and organizers of grassroots movements fighting against environmental ills that threaten poor and people of color communities. New Perspectives on Environmental Justice is the first collection of essays that pays tribute to the enormous contributions women have made in these endeavors. The writers offer varied examples of environmental justice issues such as children's environmental health campaigns, cancer research, AIDS/HIV activism, the Environmental Genome Project, and popular culture, among many others. Each one focuses on gender and sexuality as crucial factors in women's or gay men's activism and applies environmental justice principles to related struggles for sexual justice. The contributors represent a wide variety of activist and scholarly perspectives including law, environmental studies, sociology, political science, history, medical anthropology, American studies, English, African and African American studies, women's studies, and gay and lesbian studies, offering multiple vantage points on gender, sexuality, and activism. Feminist/womanist impulses shape and sustain environmental justice movements around the world, making an understanding of gender roles and differences crucial for the success of these efforts.

Buku besar ini ditulis dengan mengusung segumpal “semangat dekonstruksi-kritis” yang berjuang memperkaya wacana ideologi dalam sebuah refleksi bahasa. Thompson berupaya mengeksplorasi aspek-aspek lain penggunaan bahasa yang selama ini diabaikan oleh beberapa perspektif linguistik dan filsafat bahasa. Dengan cara membangun interrelasi antara bahasa dan ideologi, Thompson sepenuhnya menolak analisis statis terhadap bentuk-bentuk kalimat dan sistem tanda yang telah mapan, serta lebih memasuki bentuk ekspresi-ekspresi pemberian makna dan tindakan, yang dari situ sejarah diproduksi dan kehidupan sosial dikembangkan. Analisis ideologi semacam ini meniscayakan kemampuan untuk melihat bahasa bukan sekadar sebagai struktur komunikasi dan pertunjukan, tetapi sekaligus sebagai fenomena sejarah sosial yang melibatkan peradaban manusia, yang darinya jugalah konstelasi ideologi berkelindan. Maka, layak saja bila analisis ideologi ini kemudian melibatkan aspek kekuasaan dan bahasa, hermeneutika, struktur percakapan, struktur gramatikal, sistem kepercayaan, proyeksi rasional, analisis wacana, hingga kemelut rasionalisasi kebenaran. Analisis ideologi ini kian dikukuhkan dengan ketajaman komparasi Thompson terhadap beberapa tokoh penting ideologi, seperti Giddens, Ricouer, Gouldner, Seliger, hingga Habermas. Sangat wajar kalau karya ini dijadikan referensi wajib dalam studi ilmu-ilmu sosiologi, antropologi, politik, dan humaniora pada umumnya.

According to me, life is an exam; when you are preparing yourself to write an exam saying that “I should answer all the questions and score good marks”, “No matter which question comes, I should answer”. You prepare for an exam even though you don’t know which questions are going to appear. If you can prepare yourself for an exam, then you can prepare yourself for life to face all the situations. This book is for teenagers to understand what life is. And to accept that no matter who is going to be with you, you have to face all the situations to succeed. Always remember you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think and twice as beautiful as you would ever imagine. No matter what you’re going through, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.

Tradisi lisan kantola adalah salah satu bentuk sastra lisan yang berasal dari masyarakat Muna, Sulawesi Tenggara. Kantola adalah sebuah permainan yang melibatkan dua kelompok yang saling berbalas pantun dengan irama dan nada tertentu. Kantola biasanya dimainkan pada saat acara adat, keagamaan, atau festival budaya. Lirik kantola mengandung makna-makna yang berkaitan dengan perasaan, pengalaman pribadi, dan dimensi kemasyarakatan. Kantola juga merupakan media ekspresi dan komunikasi antara masyarakat Muna dengan budaya-budaya lain, seperti Bali dan Lombok. Kantola memiliki bentuk syair yang mirip dengan soneta, tetapi tidak terikat oleh aturan sajak maupun jumlah baris. Kantola diturunkan secara lisan dari generasi ke generasi dalam lingkungan klan atau marga. Tradisi lisan kantola merupakan warisan budaya yang perlu dilestarikan dan dikembangkan agar tidak punah akibat pengaruh budaya modern. Kantola merupakan pernyataan perasaan dan pendapat seseorang, yang disampaikan secara santun, sesuai dengan budaya masyarakat setempat. Komunikasi dengan menggunakan kantola lebih berkesan mudah dihayati, dipahami maksud serta pendapat seseorang. Kantola berfungsi sebagai alat untuk mempertahankan kecermatan berbahasa. Hal ini akan menumbuhkan sikap penghargaan terhadap orang lain dan sikap malu untuk berbuat kesalahan. Dalam masyarakat tradisional, yang masih menjunjung tinggi nilai-nilai adat yang berlandaskan pada tradisi, sikap malu merupakan dasar yang paling hakiki dalam kehidupan masyarakat.

Se considera que los trastornos alimentarios son los más mortíferos de todos los trastornos mentales. Por desgracia, también están muy extendidos y afectan a casi el 10% de la población mundial. Estas estadísticas no pretenden alarmar, son simplemente un reflejo de la realidad. Los trastornos alimentarios son un problema creciente y es necesario hacer algo al respecto. Si usted o un ser querido está luchando contra un trastorno alimentario, el problema no es usted, y no es culpa suya ni de su ser querido; los trastornos de la alimentación son enfermedades complejas. En las páginas de este libro aprenderá todo sobre los diferentes tipos de trastornos alimentarios, qué los causa, a quiénes afectan y mucho más. Comprehensive Healthcare Research recurre a expertos en el tema de los trastornos alimentarios y a la investigación en este campo para ofrecerle un libro que responderá a todas sus preguntas sobre los síntomas del trastorno alimentario, las opciones de tratamiento disponibles y -quizás lo más importante- si la recuperación es posible o no. El libro presenta: Trastornos alimenticios comunes (como la anorexia nerviosa, la bulimia nerviosa y el trastorno por atracón) y poco comunes (como la pica, la diabulimia, el ARFID y varios otros que quizás no sabías que existían). Un desglose de las opciones de tratamiento, desde los centros de tratamiento para pacientes internos hasta la búsqueda de un equipo para pacientes externos, y todo lo que hay en medio. Historias reales de recuperación de personas que han sobrevivido a sus trastornos alimentarios al final de cada capítulo. Un recorrido por las razones típicas por las que las personas padecen trastornos alimentarios, incluyendo su edad, género, profesión y más. Una introducción al concepto de alimentación intuitiva, que a menudo es considerado el objetivo final por muchos centros de tratamiento de trastornos alimentarios y dietistas. Una discusión sobre la diferencia entre "en recuperación" y "recuperado", y por qué estos dos términos no tienen necesariamente la misma definición. Prepárese para descubrir las respuestas a las preguntas que tal vez no sabía que tenía dentro de los capítulos de este libro, y salga con nuevos conocimientos sobre los trastornos alimentarios que pueden ayudar a promover su propia recuperación o la de su ser querido que está luchando. La recuperación es un camino largo y sinuoso y, para muchas personas que padecen trastornos alimentarios, no es lineal... pero eso no significa que la recuperación no sea posible. Echa un vistazo al interior de este libro para descubrir cómo la recuperación puede ser posiblepara ti o, mejor aún, llévate el libro a casa: tu viaje de recuperación comienza con este único paso.

"Ironisnya, semua pengorbanan masyarakat ini tak jua membuat pemerintah menyadarkan Indorayon, yang sekarang bernama Toba Pulp Lestari (TP), untuk menghargai masyarakat lokal, dan pemerintah menghentikan operasi pabrik. Sebaliknya, protes masyarakat dinilai sebagai tindakan kriminal, anarkhi, melawan pemerintah dan pembangunan, dan dihadapi secara represif dengan kekuatan birokrasi, polisi dan militer. Salah satu kasus paling mutakhir ialah penebangan pohon kemenyan milik masyarakat Pollung. Humbang Hasundutan, yang mendapat protes keras petani kemenyan. Ini menunjukkan bahwa karakter perusahaan itu sama sekali belum berubah" (Arifin Telaumbanua) "IIU/TPL merupakan wujud ideologi Neo liberalisme-kapitalisme. Kapitalisme adalah keserakahan. Selama pemerintah berkiblat ke Neo liberalisme dan kapitalisme sejauh itu juga tidak ada keperpihakan pada kesejahteraan rakyat. Kapital tidak mengenal kata cukup. Kapital bisa membayar polisi, dan pemerintah..." Setelah Kapolres, pergi kami diinterogasi oleh seorang polisi Juru Periksa (Juper). Juper itu membentak dan mencaci maki saya. 'Mentang-mentang sudah ngomong dengan Kapolres, kau pikir kau sudah hebat; karena kau mahasiswa sok hebat; gara-gara kalian saya tidak istirahat; jangan kau tengok-tengok. di mana kau taruh matamu, 'itulah antara lain kata-kata yang dilontarkan oleh Juper itu. Selanjutnya saat pemeriksaan, Juper berulang kali menanyakan kenapa saya diperiksa? Saya tetap katakan 'tidak tahu'. Akhirnya Juper itu mengatakan 'karena melanggar keterlibatan umum'," (Saurlian Siagian) "Meraka pernah melemparkan ikan mati ber ton-ton ke truk Indorayan karena merasa kesal. Masyarakat menunjukkan kepada pihak Indorayan bahwa limbahnya telah menyebabkan kematian ikan mas yang tidak sedikit jumlahnya. Tetapi, Indorayon menutup mata dan telinga, tidak peduli pada keluhan masyarakat, "ujar Ompu Tulus dengan wajah sedih dan suara bergetar (Pindo br. Sitorus) SAYA beberapa kali dipukuli aparat saat aksi. tetapi itu tidak membuat saya kapok. Sebaliknya, itulah yang mendorong saya untuk mau mendampingi petani yang ada di Prosea, yang saya lihat punya nasib yang sama dengan mahasiswa. Mereka menghadapi kekerasan Militer. Adanya kesamaan visi pribadi dan lembaga membuat saya lebih percaya diri dalam melakukan pendampingan terhadap masyarakat korban Indorayon yang menolak TPL. Kelompok korban pembangunan itu harus dibela haknya" (Surung Gunawan Simanjuntak) "Dalam sebuah dialog interaktif yang diprakarsai Bakumsu di Medan, Maret 2003, Pastor Silaen mengawali gagasannya dari nas Alkitab Perjanjian Lama; 'Berbasuhlah dan bersihkanlah dirimu, jauhkanlah perbuatan jahat dari depan mataKu, Berhentilah berbuat jahat, belajarlah berbuat baik, usahakanlah keadilan orang kejam, belalah hak-hak anak-anak yatim ... mari kita berperkara firman Tuhan, sekalipun dosamu merah seperti sirih, akan putih seperti kapur'." (Pastor Silaen)

Fashion buying and merchandising has changed dramatically over the last 20 years. Aspects such as the advent of new technologies and the changing nature of the industry into one that is faster paced than ever before, as well as the shift towards more ethical and sustainable practices have resulted in a dramatic change of the roles. As a result, contemporary fast fashion retailers do not follow the traditional buying cycle processes step by step, critical paths are wildly different, and there has been a huge increase in ‘in-season buying’ as a response to heightened consumer demand. This textbook is a comprehensive guide to 21st-century fashion buying and merchandising, considering fast fashion, sustainability, ethical issues, omnichannel retailing, and computer-aided design. It presents an up-to-date buying cycle that reflects key aspects of fashion buying and merchandising, as well as in-depth explanations of fashion product development, trend translation, and sourcing. It applies theoretical and strategic business models to buying and merchandising that have traditionally been used in marketing and management. This book is ideal for all fashion buying and merchandising students, specifically second- and final-year undergraduate as well as MA/MSc fashion students. It will also be useful to academics and practitioners who wish to gain a greater understanding of the industry today.

Sebuah karya sastra merupakan kisahan yang senantiasa bergumul dengan para tokoh fiksional yang diciptakan oleh si pengarang. Agar ceritera lebih menarik, si pengarang kerap kali menampilkan perilaku para tokoh dengan kepribadian yang tidak lazim, aneh, atau abnormal, sehingga menimbulkan berbagai perasaan bagi para pembaca. Tidak jarang para pembaca bertanya-tanya, mengapa si tokoh berperilaku demikian, apa yang terjadi pada dirinya, apa penyebabnya, dan apa pula akibat dari semua ini. Bahwasanya masalah perilaku mungkin saja terkait dengan masalah kejiwaan, maka kisahan semacam ini dapat merupakan masalah psikologis. Oleh karena itu, dalam buku yang merupakan hasil penelitian tentang karya-karya sastra Inggris dan Amerika yang bermutu ini, penulis menampilkan beberapa kasus para tokoh fiksional yang mencerminkan konsep-konsep yang terdapat dalam Psikologi Sastra. Para tokoh dimaksud terdapat dalam karya-karya sastra Inggris dan Amerika ciptaan Nathaniel Hawthorne, Eugene O'Neil, Theodore Dreiser, dan D.H. Lawrence. dalam buku ini dibahas pula para tokoh yang mencerminkan beberapa konsep yang terdapat dalam Psikologi Sastra, misalnya konsep-konsep: Oedipus Complex, Electra Complex, Naluri Kematian, rasa Bersalah, Agresivitas, Halusinasi, Konflik Batin, rasa Malu, dan sebagainya. Selain itu, dibahas pula pencerminan Teori Kebutuhan Bertingkat dari Abraham Maslow yang mencakup kebutuhan fisiologis, rasa aman, rasa memiliki dan dicintai, rasa harga diri, dan aktualisasi diri. Selama ini telaah karya sastra melalui pendekatan Psikologi Sastra sering diperdebatkan karena kerap kali hakikat sastra menjadi hilang, telaah sastra seakan-akan menjadi telaah Psikologi. Oleh karena itu, agar telaah sastra psikologis tidak meninggalkan hakikat analisis suatu karya sastra, maka pencerminan berbagai konsep psikologi di atas perlu disampaikan melalui metode perwatakan yang biasa digunakan dalam telaah sastra. Metode-metode tersebut misalnya, telling (langsung), showing(tidak langsung), gaya bahasa bahasa (figurative language): simile, matafor, personifikasi, , dan sudut pandang (point of view). Pembahasan dalam buku ini dapat dijadikan bahan acuan bagi para peneliti, karena paparannya cukup jelas dan terperinci, sehingga buku ini akan bermanfaat bagi para peneliti yang berminat menganalisis suatu karya sastra dalam bahasa apapun.

Dalam konteks pemertahanan tradisi budaya lokal terbitnya buku ini, merupakan kulminasi dari penelitian yang panjang. Rongga adalah salah satu dari etnis di Flores yang bahasa dan budayanya kini telah diteliti dengan baik. Ini dimulai secara intensif dengan proyek penelitian dokumentasi oleh Arka yang dilalukan lewat hibah ELDP (Endangered Language Documentation Programmer) London (2004-6), dilanjutkan dengan sederetan penelitian lain oleh mahasiswa Pascasarjana Linguistik Universitas Udayana, termasuk oleh penulis buku ini. Buku ini membahas ritual dan dinamika hidup orang Rongga, dengan fokus kajian ritual dhasa jawa. Ritual dhasa jawa, dan juga ritual-ritual lain orang Rongga, sarat dengan nilai-nilai budaya yang mengandung estetika, yang berisi berbagai pesan historis, tuntunan moral dan etika, serta penunjuk hidup praktis dalam konteks hubungan manusia secara sosial-religius, dan interaksinya secara ekologis dengan alam. Buku ini memaparkan kekayaan ritual dhasa jawa dalam berbagai aspek nilai-nilai budaya ini, yang terbungkus dalam medium bahasa (verbal), dan aspek-aspek non-verbal terkait dalam budaya Rongga, seperti sarana ritual dan konteks waktu serta tempatnya. Aspek pewarisan dan dinamika perubahan dalam konteks Rongga kotemporer juga dibahas secara mendalam dalam bab tersendiri. Publikasi penelitian ilmiah menjadi sangat penting, terutama untuk bahasa dan budaya masyarakat minoritas yang terpinggirkan/terancam punah, seperti Rongga. Ini karena hasil penelitian yang demikian menjadi prayarat untuk bisa dilakukan langkah-langkah revitalisasi bahasa dan budaya lebih lanjut yang tepat dan terukur. Dalam konteks inilah, buku ini yang mendokumentasikan ritual dhasa jawa dengan berbagai aspeknya, menjadi penting sebagai acuan yang lengkap, baik secara praktis maupun ilmiah untuk penelitian lebih lanjut. Buku ini akan sangat bermanfaat bagi peneliti, mahasiswa serta pemerhati etnolinguistik/linguistik, dan juga masyarakat lokal Rongga maupun masyarakat pada umumnya.

Today it seems that almost everyone has a view on what it means to be an "incel" and why these sexless men behave the way they do. The irony is that very little of this debate is informed sincerely with scientific data or by what these men have to say. This engaging book takes an in-depth look at three contemporary issues – lookism, romantic satisfaction, and modern dating – by exploring how incel men experience them in a variety of circumstances. As the very first published approach to inceldom of its kind, Dr. Lukas Castle draws on qualitative and quantitative data as well as addressing a theory of social interaction, which is branded The Blackpill. The author demonstrates the importance of developing an empirically informed approach to men’s societal experiences based on an understanding of the significance of physical attractiveness. This is an important and timely book into the social problem of male inceldom which be invaluable to researchers in sociology and gender studies, as well as professionals concerned with men’s health.

Do you procrastinate? And if so, what’s your procrastination type? In this fun and illustrated guide, author Jennifer Shannon blends acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and cognitive behavioral strategies to help you recognize your procrastination habits, discover the strengths of your unique procrastination type, and find the motivation you need to meet important deadlines and reach your highest goals. In the midst of modern-day distractions like smartphones, social media, and endless hours of movie and television streaming, it’s no wonder you procrastinate! But despite what you may have heard, procrastination doesn’t make you a bad or lazy person. In fact, procrastination may even work for you sometimes—creating a sense of urgency that can help you focus. But if procrastination doesn’t work for you, it can get in the way of meeting your full potential—in high school, college, your career, and life. So, how can you get things done and be your very best? In A Teen’s Guide to Getting Stuff Done, you’ll discover your procrastination type—warrior, pleaser, perfectionist, or rebel—as well as the unique strengths inherent in each type. If you’re a warrior, you love a good challenge, but may not be able to complete tasks you find uninteresting. If you’re a pleaser, you may be so concerned about disappointing others that you postpone doing something. If you’re a perfectionist, you may put things off because you’re worried about your work being judged by teachers, parents, or peers. And finally, if you’re a rebel, you’re driven by a strong sense of independence. By understanding your type and using the practical strategies laid out in each chapter of this book, you’ll be able to break the cycle of procrastination once and for all. This isn’t a manual on how to please your parents, teachers, professors, or friends. This is a book to help you understand why you procrastinate, whether or not procrastination works for you, and if not, how to improve your work habits and really get things done. By helping you uncover your own unique strengths, this book will help you master your to-do list—and your life! This book has been selected as an Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies Self-Help Book Recommendation—an honor bestowed on outstanding self-help books that are consistent with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) principles and that incorporate scientifically tested strategies for overcoming mental health difficulties. Used alone or in conjunction with therapy, our books offer powerful tools readers can use to jump-start changes in their lives.

Komunitas LGBT merupakan perkumpulan dari individu-individu yang memiliki penyimpangan seksual. Karena penyimpangan seksual yang dialami oleh para individu menjadikan para individu tersebut dipandang berbeda daripada individu yang normal atau heteroseksual. Hal ini menyebabkan para individu LGBT sering kali mengalami masalah hukum baik berurusan dengan hukum pidana atau dengan hukum yang hidup di masyarakat. Perilaku dari komunitas LGBT dapat melanggar norma yang hidup di masyarakat baik dari norma kesusilaan, norma kesopanan, sampai norma agama. Lebih lanjut dalam buku ini perilaku dari komunitas LGBT juga dapat dikategorikan sebagai sebuah tindak pidana sesuai dengan aturan pidana yang berlaku di masyarakat. Buku ini ditujukan bagi masyarakat umum yang ingin memahami isu LGBT dan hukum pidana; para penegak hukum, seperti hakim, jaksa, dan polisi; akademisi dan peneliti di bidang hukum dan HAM; aktivis dan organisasi yang bergerak di bidang LGBT dan HAM. Buku ini diharapkan dapat membuka ruang dialog yang lebih konstruktif dan berimbang tentang komunitas LGBT di Indonesia, khususnya dalam kaitannya dengan hukum pidana. Diharapkan pula buku ini dapat menjadi sumber referensi yang bermanfaat bagi para pemangku kepentingan terkait dalam upaya mewujudkan hukum yang adil dan inklusif bagi semua.

Mantan Jendral Soehario Koesnender Padmodiwirio alis Hario Kecik (nama revolusi 45-nya) sebagai penulis Buku Pemikiran Militer jilid-4 ini menyatakan bahwa buku ini sebaiknya dipandang sebagai kelanjutan dari buku-buku PM jilid-1,2,3. Jadi boleh dikatakan bahwa semua buu-buku itu merupakan suatu "kesatuan integral" dari pemikiran Hario Kecik mengenai sejarah Militer bangsa Indonesia. Hario Kecik dalam mulai menulis ternyata dapat tetap memegang teguh "ethics revolusi 45" sebagai Pejuang Bersenjata Independen Kemerdekaan sukarelawan dalam revolusi Perang termasuk novel-novelnya, dapat sangat menarik dan memikat. Buku Pemikiran Militer jilid ke-4 ini judulnya agak berbeda dari judul buku-buku jilid sebelumnya. Hal itu tentunya sangat menarik pembaca. Tema tentang "Phylosophy Baru" dalam buku itu bukan merupakan sesuatu "stunt" yang dipakai Hario Kecik untuk menarik perhatian. ia sebagai seorang intelektual secara ilmiah dapat dengan sendirinya mengatakan itu dengan penuh tanggung jawab. Sejarah umat manusia telah membuktikan bahwa munculnya Para philosof negara-negara Timur dan Barat, tidak terlepas dari keadaan atau taraf perkembangan peradaban negara-negaranya secara objektif. Buah pikiran para philosof itu telah mempengaruhi jalan pemikiran sebagian rakyat dari negara philosof itu sendiri, bahkan dapat meluas keluar dari batas-batas "spatial dan temporal", dengan kata lain yang sederhana: "mendunia". Hario Kecik menyatakan dengan tegas bahwa ia tidak bermaksud menyebarkan suatu aliran philosofi baru. Ia hanya ingin jika akan timbul seorang atau beberapa orang entah di negara mana, yang mampu untuk memformulasikan suatu "philosophy baru" yang dapat diterima kalangan luas karena philosophynya itu cocok secara objektif dengan keadaan global dan universal, (Zeitgeist) sekarang ini. Suatu topik yang juga menarik dalam buku Pemikiran Militer ke-4 ini adalah soal negara "Atlantis" yang pernah diceritakan oleh phylosof besar Plato (427-347BC). Ternyata Atlantis" itu, menurut hasil penyelidikan serius dari penulis Prof. Aryoso Santos (2005), letaknya di daerah yang sekarang "Lautan Jawa", terbentang ke arah Utara sampai pantai Vietnam. Hario Kecik menghubungkan isi buku Atlantis" itu, dengan teori pribadinya tentang Kapal Borobudur" yang pernah ia tulis dalam buku "Pemikiran Militer jilid ke-1". Dengan demikian Nenek Moyang Bangsa Indonesia, ternyata bukan orang-orang sembarangan.

A Grammar Series That Uses the Functional Approach KEY FEATURES ● Functional approach to grammar teaching, using exemplars to illustrate the usage before defining the structure and rules ● Vocabulary taught through language-in-use to build the learners’ vocabulary through use rather than memorisation of rules ● Contemporary topics to inculcate 21-century skills amongst learners ● Use of literature to help learners understand how grammar is used in text ● A comprehension section comprising texts from different genres so that learners may relate grammar to different types of works produced in English ● Phonics in Grades 1 and 2 to teach the very basis of language ● Uniquely stylised illustrations ● Activities such as puzzles, crosswords, word grids and games to aid the facilitator in using the concept of ‘flipped classroom’ ● Periodic tests to help the learners self-assess the acquisition of concepts ● Digital component to cater to a technology-driven classroom DESCRIPTION: My Blue Book of Grammar is a course that has been conceptualized and designed keeping in mind the increasingly dynamic role of the English language in today’s world. Especially in our country, where English serves as the lingua franca, a grammar course has to offer not only an exposition of the pedagogy but also the exhibition of the utility of that pedagogy. The aim of a grammar series should be to encourage the development of competency amongst learners, even though their proficiency levels may vary. While the level of exposure to English of all learners may be different, a grammar series should aid in the development of a certain level of confidence amongst the learners, with the end result being that they are able to converse without hesitation in English. WHAT WILL YOU LEARN ● Understand grammar concepts ● Learn how to use different vocabulary concepts taught through language-in-use ● Learn 21-century skills ● Develop deeper understanding of and appreciation for literature ● Have clearer pronunciation through a better understanding of phonics WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR: School students of Grades 7 TABLE OF CONTENTS GRAMMAR 1.

İstanbul’un en eski semtlerinden biri olan Bomonti, asırlık geçmişinde sayısız dönüşüme sahne olmuş bir yerleşim yeri. Osmanlı’dan bugüne, bir yanda teneke mahallesi ve gecekonduları, diğer yanda Levanten yaşam tarzı tüm renkliliğiyle hüküm sürerken, tarihi çok eskilere dayanan büyük fabrikalar etrafında gelişen işçi yaşamı ile orta sınıf semt sakinlerinin apartman yaşantısı yan yana varlığını sürdürmüş. Bugün Bomonti, yükselen yeni rezidansları ve sunulan yeni yaşam tarzlarıyla kentsel dönüşümün tam da kalbinde yer alıyor. Bomonti Kentsel Dönüşüm ve Mekânın Belleği, Bomonti’nin geçirdiği bu dönüşümü tüm yönleriyle ele alıyor. Derya Fırat, Bomonti Bira Fabrikası ve Bira Bahçesi’nden yola çıkıp semtin kadim belleğinin izlerini sürüyor. Egemen Yılgür, teneke mahallesinin oluşumunu ve kentsel dönüşüm karşısında mahallelinin düşüncelerini paylaşırken, Şükrü Aslan da bu eski işçi semtinin fabrikalarının, işçi yaşantısının, işçi mücadelesinin izlerini araştırıyor. Aylın Dikmen Özarslan, Bomonti’nin orta sınıf sakinlerinin gündelik hayatını ayrıntılı biçimde sergilerken, Çağlayan Kovanlıkaya da rezidanslarla gelen soylulaştırma hamlesinin hem semtin fiziksel ve sosyal yapısını nasıl dönüştürdüğünü inceliyor hem de rezidans yaşamının yeni görünümlerini ortaya koyuyor. Geniş bir saha araştırmasının ürünü olan bu çalışma, semt sakinlerinin gözünden Bomonti’nin geçmişini, bugününü ve geleceğini okumaya çalışıyor; sadece semtin değil aynı zamanda İstanbul’un da geçirdiği büyük dönüşümü sorguluyor.

A thoughtfully curated collection in a stunning package that recognizes and celebrates the birthdays of famous, infamous, and often-overlooked designers and architects. The gift book for design and architect professionals and students they didn’t know they needed but will no longer be able to live without. Drawn from architect James Biber's epic Instagram project in which he posted a birthday bio of a famous (or less famous) designer or architect every day for a (mid-pandemic) year, The Architect and Designer Birthday Book is filled with personal, opinionated, and humorous observations on fascinating design and architect figures past and present. The minibiographies and birthday profiles in the book cover a range of international architects and designers, as well as artists, including: Architects from the Aaltos (Aino and Alvar) to Zumthor Rivals Bernini and Borromini Photographers Lee Miller, Louise Dahl-Wolfe, Vivian Maier, Dody Weston Thompson, Margaret Morton, and Judith Turner Midcentury modernists Marcel Breuer, Walter Gropius, and Florence Knoll Charlotte Perriand, Lilly Reich, Anne Tyng, and Denise Scott Brown More anecdotal histories than authorized biographies, these daily profiles are not only fun to read but provide spot-on commentary for anyone interested in how designers and architects relate to each other as well as their place in history. It is the intersection of Biber’s life and the history of architecture and design.

ÖNSÖZ Endonezya Okyanusu’nda yüzüyoruz. Endonezya üzerinde çalışmak ve araştırma yapmak “zor” diyen Japonlara hak verdik. Gerçekten çok zor ve mantaliteleri son derece farklı bir kavimler topluluğu olan Endonezya halkı aşırı yumuşak ve medeni ama “yumuşak atın çiftesi pek olur” atasözünde geçtiği gibi Stefan Zweig’in de “Amok Koşucusu” kısa romanında açıkladığı haleti ruhiyeyi irdelemek bizi din algısı ve olgusu ile ilgili sorulara yöneltti. Din merkezli yaşayıp her şeylerini ona göre tasarlayan cemiyetler zannediyorlar ki “inandıkları din” onların her şeylerini adeta yeniden var ediyor. Kişiliklerini, kimliklerini, geleneklerini, örf ve âdetlerini akla gelen her türlü “hars” karakterli niteliklerini inandıkları din dizginleyip istikametini çiziyor. Dinden aldıkları ve ona kattıklarını bir araya getirip alt alta basitçe iki sütunda sıraladığımızda ise durum çok farklı tecelli ediyor. Dini yeniden işleyip, adeta din içinden din çıkaracak derecede değişime uğratan, bağdaştırmacı din zihniyeti bizleri böyle düşünmeye sevk etti. Hazreti Muhammed’in vaz ettiği İslâm; sekiz bin kilometre doğuda Sumatra Adası’na ulaştığında güzergâh üzerinde uğradığı Gujarat sahillerinde kazandığı “şii” karakteri hemen hemen terkedip Sumatra Açe’den başlayıp Irian Jaya Adası’na doğru beşbin kilometre ilerlediğinde sünnî ağırlıklı bir mozayik müzesine dönüşüyor. “İslâmın tonları” çok farklılaşıyor. Değişen nedir? İklim. Yerçizimi. Topoğrafya. Hepsi değişiyor. Zihinler ise ataerkil cemiyetten anaerkil cemiyete dönüşüyor. Ama din aynı adı taşıyor:İslâm. İşte bu değişiklikler bize bambaşka bir İslâm armağan ediyor. Hepsi sömürge ülkeleri. Hepsi “bağımsızlık” nefesini solumamış ülkeler. Tarihleri 1935 lerde başlıyor diyebileceğimiz ülkeler bunlar, Cliffort Geertz’in deyimiyle. Ülke mi? Millet mi? Ülke olacaklar. Millet olacaklar. Eğer “kendilerine dayatılan din öldü” derlerse. Yoksa avaz avaz bağıran ulama elinde kölelik ve yoksulluk üretmeye devam edecekler. İslâm bize bir vatan armağan ediyor mu? İslâm bize bir bayrak armağan ediyor mu? İslâm bize bir millet şuuru armağan ediyor mu? Bu soruların cevaplarını yararlandığımız bu kitabın satırları arasında bulacağınızı umuyoruz. İngilizce tercümelerde bana çok yardımcı olan bilgisayar mühendisi Bilgehan Baki Bilen’e ve Türkçe dilbilgisi düzeltmeleri yapan Mahmut Yıldırım’a teşekkür ederim.

A visually engaging introduction to landscape architectural design Landscape architectural design seeks to create environments that accommodate users' varying lifestyles and needs, incorporate cultural heritage, promote sustainability, and integrate functional requirements for optimal enjoyment. Foundations of Landscape Architecture introduces the foundational concepts needed to effectively integrate space and form in landscape design. With over five hundred hand-rendered and digital drawings, as well as photographs, Foundations of Landscape Architecture illustrates the importance of spatial language. It introduces concepts, typologies, and rudimentary principles of form and space. Including designs for projects such as parks, campuses, and memorials, this text provides the core concepts necessary for designers to shape functional landscapes. Additionally, chapters discuss organizational and spatial design structures based on orthogonal forms, angular forms, and circular forms. Helping students, professionals, and lifelong learners alike, Foundations of Landscape Arch-itecture delivers a concrete understanding of landscape architectural design to inspire one's imagination for countless types of projects.

The future is looking old. We are currently at the threshold of the largest demographic transformation of modern times, the advent of the age of the senior citizen. What awaits us – what kinds of products, what kinds of houses? The fifty-and-over generation represents an enormous potential: in Germany alone, twenty million seniors have hundreds of billions of euros, but they hardly spend them for lack of suitable products. This book provides answers from a sociological and design perspective for architects, designers, decision-makers, and firms who wish to respond to the demands of this diverse and discriminating target group. It investigates the various aspects of senior citizens’ lives from tip to toe and offers technical articles as well as authentic case studies and reports. Attractively laid out, fully illustrated, and with pointedly written texts, it is also aimed at the silver agers themselves, especially those who would like to find out what architecture and design can do to make their lives as pleasant and independent as possible.

The globally distributed health impacts of environmental degradation and widening inequalities require a fundamental shift in understandings of healthy urbanism. This book redefines the meaning and form of healthy urban environments, urging planners and design professionals to consider how their work impacts population health and wellbeing at multiple spatial and temporal scales. The concepts of equity, inclusion and sustainability are central to this framing, reversing the traditional focus on individuals, their genes and ‘lifestyle choices’ to one of structural factors that affect health. Integrating theory and concepts from social epidemiology, sustainable development and systems thinking with practical case studies, this book will be of value for students and practitioners.

***Shortlisted for the Architectural Book Awards 2024*** Combining architectural and urban thinking in an unusual and engaging way, this book presents an integrated approach to architectural theory and design. Leon Battista Alberti’s assertion in his famous Renaissance treatise that ‘the city is like a big house, and the house is in turn like a little city’ forms the springboard for a series of reflections on architecture’s relationship with urbanism and how their once intimate symbiosis, unravelled by International Style Modernism, can be recovered. Explicit references to Alberti’s house-city phrase have been made by figures as diverse as the architects Louis Kahn, Aldo Van Eyck, Denys Lasdun and Niels Torp and novelist Italo Calvino. But, as the book shows, thinking of buildings as little cities provides a new lens through which to reappraise the contributions of many other architects, including Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright, Alvar Aalto, Eliel Saarinen, Bernard Rudofsky, Hans Scharoun, Leon Krier, Fumihiko Maki, Charles Correa and Team 10. In doing so, the author identifies common themes that form an unexpected bridgehead between the urban and architectural approaches of Antiquity, the Middle Ages, Renaissance and 20th century. The book explores buildings from across the globe, including lesser-known projects, such as Wright’s unbuilt house in Italy or Saarinen’s master plan for Cranbrook Academy, as well as more recent projects by Niels Torp, Behnisch Architekten, Sou Fujimoto, Peter Barber and WOHA. It concludes with practical case studies of residential, health, education and workplace projects from different countries, fulsomely illustrated with many drawings and photographs. These show how architectural design viewed through an urban lens provides a conceptual framework for breaking down the scale of large buildings and integrating them with their context. And crucially, these also show a very accessible way of explaining evolving designs to the intended users and eliciting their participation in the design process. The book offers a compelling approach to the design of projects at all scales, within an ecological perspective: the sense that big and small, cities and buildings must be approached holistically if we are to reverse the degradation and depletion of our habitat, both natural and man-made.

إن البحث التاريخي هو السبيل الأمثل لفهم الأحداث التي شكلت مسار الإنسانية عبر العصور. فلا يمكن إنكار المكانة الرفيعة للتاريخ في دراسة الواقع والتعرف على العناصر الفاعلة في صناعة الحضارات. وها هي دراسات تاريخ الأندلس تفتح آفاقاً واسعة لاستكشاف أبعاد مجتمعية لم تحظ بالاهتمام البحثي الكافي من قبل. أن موضوع "الغدر في بلاد الأندلس(92-481هـ/711-1088م) دراسة تأريخية" يعد موضوعاً ذا أهمية كبيرة والذي لم يتم دراسته بشكل مستقل من قبل الباحثين. وإن دراسة هذا الموضوع يُساعد الباحث على الاطلاع والوقوف على الكثير من الآثار السلبية التي خلفتها هذه الظاهرة السيئة في الدولة والمجتمع الأندلسي. فقد كان للغدر شأن واضح في الإضرار بالدولة بشكل عام، وبشؤون المجتمع الأندلسي بشكل خاص، حيث مارسه البعض من أجل تحقيق مصالحهم الشخصية الضيقة.

Brought together for the first time - the seminal writing on architecture by key philosophers and cultural theorist of the twentieth century. Issues around the built environment are increasingly central to the study of the social sciences and humanities. The essays offer a refreshing take on the question of architecture and provocatively rethink many of the accepted tenets of architecture theory from a broader cultural perspective. The book represents a careful selection of the very best theoretical writings on the ideas which have shaped our cities and our experiences of architecture. As such, Rethinking Architecture provides invaluable core source material for students on a range of courses.

In 1775 Prince Marcantonio Borghese IV and the architect Antonio Asprucci embarked upon a decorative renovation of the Villa Borghese. Initially their attention focused on the Casino, the principal building at the villa, which had always been a semi-public museum. By 1625 it housed much of the Borghese's outstanding collection of sculpture. Integrating this statuary with vast baroque ceiling paintings and richly ornamented surfaces, Asprucci created a dazzling and unified homage to the Borghese family, portraying its legendary ancestors as well as its newly born heir. In this book, Carole Paul reads the inventive decorative program as a set of exemplary scenes for the education of the ideal Borghese prince. Her wide-ranging essay also situates the Villa Borghese among the sumptuous palaces and suburban villas of Rome's collectors of antiquities and outlines the renovated Casino's pivotal role in the historic transition from the princely collection to the public museum. Rounding out this volume is a catalog of the Getty Research Institute's fifty-nine drawings for the refurbishing of the Villa Borghese and Alberta Campitelli's discussion of sketches for the short-lived Museo di Gabii, the Villa's other antiquities museum.

Kaca memberikan kesan terbuka, ringan, dan modern pada bangunan, sehingga penggunaan material berbahan dasar kaca, kini menjadi pilihan berbagai pihak: pemilik, arsitek, maupun pengguna/pengunjung bangunan. Namun, informasi tentang kaca yang rinci terkait ilmu bangunan belumlah tersaji secara lengkap dan mendalam. Buku ini mencoba mengupas kaca, mulai sejarah, komponen penyusun, jenis, standar, sampai industri kaca yang kini memegang peranan dalam penyediaan kebutuhan akan kaca di dunia arsitektur. Dibahas pula aspek termal, optikal, kimiawi, fisis dan mekanis kaca sebagai sebuah pengetahuan dasar sebelum melangkah pada tahap pemilihan kaca dan konsekuensi yang akan diterima ketika menggunakan kaca tertentu. Sesungguhnya fokus dan bahasan spesifik buku ini—yang membedakan dari buku lain—adalah terkait aspek akustika kaca, terutama pada penggunaan kaca di iklim tropis. Sifat akustika kaca di iklim hangat sedikit berbeda dengan penggunaan di iklim sejuk. Paparan terkait aspek akustika kaca diharapkan dapat mengarahkan penggunaan kaca secara lebih tepat pada iklim yang sesuai. Buku ditutup dengan bahasan terkait elemen-elemen bangunan yang dapat diselesaikan menggunakan kaca, jenis kaca yang cocok untuk dipilih beserta elemen pendukungnya, baik kaca yang akan dipasang menggunakan bingkai atau kusen, maupun tanpa bingkai dengan sistem pemasangan yang lebih modern. Tidak ketinggalan dibahas pula sistem pemeliharaan dan perlakuan tambahan pada kaca agar kinerjanya makin baik dan tahan lama.

"Pocas palabras han tenido tanto uso y tan variado en debates políticos y académicos desde los años noventa como neoliberalismo. A pesar de haberse vuelto un lugar común, no muchos trabajos se han dedicado a examinar la construcción y la circulación de este concepto., o a precisarlo, como una herramienta clave para entender el contexto colombiano. Además, mientras la sociología, la economía y la ciencia política han abordado con detenimiento los proyectos y las políticas neoliberales, la antropología y los estudios culturales se han acercado menos a este campo en el país. Por esta razón, es más que bienvenido este libro, que pone en dialogo aproximaciones antropológicas, filosóficas y de los estudios culturales con el análisis económico para responder preguntas muy diversas en torno a la complejidad y la variedad de neoliberalismos. Neoliberalismo en Colombia ofrece una combinación de textos de investigación con ensayos más teóricos que cubren no solo a Colombia sino a Estados Unidos en los últimos años, marcados por profundas transformaciones. Sobresalen varios que no se agotan en el estudio de las doctrinas y medidas económicas y que profundizan en el análisis de la tecnocracia, las políticas públicas y las reformas educativas. Son muchas, entonces, las contribuciones de este libro a la comprensión – y la intervención – de un presenta tan convulsionado como el nuestro." Julio Arias Vanegas, Departamento de Antropología, Pontificia Universidad Javeriana

Transcultural Cities uses a framework of transcultural placemaking, cross-disciplinary inquiry and transnational focus to examine a collection of case studies around the world, presented by a multidisciplinary group of scholars and activists in architecture, urban planning, urban studies, art, environmental psychology, geography, political science, and social work. The book addresses the intercultural exchanges as well as the cultural trans-formation that takes place in urban spaces. In doing so, it views cultures not in isolation from each other in today’s diverse urban environments, but as mutually influenced, constituted and transformed. In cities and regions around the globe, migrations of people have continued to shape the makeup and making of neighborhoods, districts, and communities. For instance, in North America, new immigrants have revitalized many of the decaying urban landscapes, creating renewed cultural ambiance and economic networks that transcend borders. In Richmond, BC Canada, an Asian night market has become a major cultural event that draws visitors throughout the region and across the US and Canadian border. Across the Pacific, foreign domestic workers in Hong Kong transform the deserted office district in Central on weekends into a carnivalesque site. While contributing to the multicultural vibes in cities, migration and movements have also resulted in tensions, competition, and clashes of cultures between different ethnic communities, old-timers, newcomers, employees and employers, individuals and institutions. In Transcultural Cities Jeffrey Hou and a cross-disciplinary team of authors argue for a more critical and open approach that sees today’s cities, urban places, and placemaking as vehicles for cross-cultural understanding.

Este libro analiza las obras del Movimiento Moderno acentuando la búsqueda de la transparencia como un hecho que las une, a través de la expresión de la fachada de la estructura, en forma de retículo, analizando sus principios, transformaciones y su vigencia en distintos contextos, en especial el de Chile. La presente publicación nace a partir de una tesis doctoral en «Composición arquitectónica» que el autor realizó en el Politécnico de Milán. Se han incorporado, además, investigaciones sobre el tema y los talleres que el autor realizó en la Universidad IUAV de Venecia y en la Universidad Católica del Norte, desarrollando proyectos a partir de la grilla tridimensional. El aspecto más interesante de este libro es que muestra la grilla como «entramado espacial», trasladando la malla cartesiana al espacio, convirtiéndose en un elemento figurativo y, al mismo tiempo, transformando la estructura -el dato técnico- en forma arquitectónica. Las arquitecturas del Movimiento Moderno conquistan, a través del retículo, una dimensión «ideal» que refleja cómo en las grandes arquitecturas, la visión estética del construir trasciende el dato constructivo y técnico, salvaguardando la unidad de la obra. Es en virtud de esta dimensión «ideal» que las obras del Movimiento Moderno, como faros solitarios y suspendidos, continúan iluminando el territorio de la arquitectura.

After decades "in the shadows", urban lighting is re-emerging as a matter of public debate. Long-standing truths are increasingly questioned as a confluence of developments affects lighting itself and the way it is viewed. Light has become an integral element of place-making and energy-saving initiatives alike. Rapidly evolving lighting technologies are opening up new possibilities, but also posing new challenges to planners, and awareness is growing that artificial illumination is not purely benign but can actually constitute a form of pollution. As a result, public policy frameworks, incentives and initiatives are undergoing a phase of innovation and change that will affect how cities are lit for years to come. The first comprehensive compilation of current scientific discussions on urban lighting and light pollution from a social science and humanities perspective, Urban Lighting, Light Pollution and Society contributes to an evolving international debate on an increasingly controversial topic. The contributions draw a rich panorama of the manifold discourses connected with artificial illumination in the past and present – from early attempts to promote new lighting technologies in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to current debates on restricting its excessive usage in public space and the protection of darkness. By bringing together a cross-section of current findings and debates on urban lighting and light pollution from a wide variety of disciplines, it reflects that artificial lighting is multifaceted in its qualities, utilisation and interpretation. Including case studies from the United States, Europe, and the UK, Urban Lighting, Light Pollution and Society is one of the first to take a serious assessment of light, pollution, and places and is a valuable resource for planners, policy makers and students in related subjects.

This book surveys key projects that have seen the construction of large floating structures or have attained detailed conceptual designs.

"Enki and the World Order," a Sumerian myth from the early second millennium BCE, depicts the god Enki's reconstitution of the Sumerian world after an unspecified catastrophe. The myth ends with a face-off between Enki and the goddess of love and war, Inana, who is dissatisfied with Enki's allotment of functions to the other goddesses. This volume presents a critical edition of the 472-line Sumerian text, with introduction, translation and commentary, based on 25 published and unpublished manuscripts, mostly from Nippur in what is now southern Iraq. All the manuscripts, with one exception, have been collated, and there are many new fragments and joins to previously known tablets.

Versatile wooden windows In her book, the trained carpenter and architect Judith Resch looks at what scope still exists in modern window design and construction. The process of simplification is more difficult to achieve for windows than for most building components, since windows, due to their function, must meet high technical specifications. She presents a variety of window design projects that have one thing in common: they pursue a singular design concept using the simplest possible means. All projects are presented in detail with technical drawings and photographs. 10 simple wooden window designs From retrofitting historical windows to the possibilities of DIY design Precisely designed, handcrafted, highly repairable windows

When this book was first published in 1975 it was at once enthusiastically received by scholars and the general public alike and recognized as a classic of its genre. It represented a notable publication of the early fruits of the Commission's work on the side of its responsibility for the National Monuments Record for Wales. During the years which have since intervened, much fresh information has come to light concerning Welsh houses - not least because of the intense interest awakened by the original publication. This new knowledge has, as far as possible, been incorporated in the new and revised edition, which contains approximately onequarter more material than the first. Although it has not been possible to alter the original text, a number of additional maps and photographs have been included and a new dust-jacket has been designed. The Commissioners would wish warmly to congratulate their Secretary, Mr. Peter Smith, those of his colleagues who were associated with him, and H.M.S.O. on the excellence of this volume. It marks another outstanding landmark in the study of vernacular architecture, not only in Wales but also in the British Isles, and a major achievement on the part of its author. Although this second edition of Houses of the Welsh Countryside retains in their entirety the text, the illustrations, and the layout of the volume first published in 1975, it also includes a substantial amount of new information which has come to light since that date. Some of this new material takes the form of additional figures inserted where appropriate into the existing illustrative pages. Similarly a small number of additional colour plates showing typical houses in characteristic settings has been tipped into the text. There are also additions to the original map lists. It has not been possible for reasons of cost to bring the maps themselves up to date, but as the newly-discovered sites nearly always reinforce the distribution patterns first indicated, this omission is not crucial. The numbers of new discoveries can vary from a mere handful on one list to several hundred on another. All other new material is introduced as part of an additional SECTION IV at the back of the volume. This section comprises: Corrigenda Covering sites which were inadequately or incorrectly described in the first volume, involving in one case a complete reappraisal of the original reference. Addenda I Describing and illustrating a small number of newly surveyed houses of especial interest which could not easily be fitted into the illustrations in the main text. Addenda II Analysing the incidence of date-inscriptions as evidence for building activity. Addenda III Listing and mapping a number of features of domestic architecture not previously so noted. Addenda IV Listing and mapping various features of ecclesiastical architecture which also occur in houses and which therefore have a bearing on the evolution of domestic architecture.

Recognised by the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals as a measure to make cities inclusive, safe and resilient, conservation of natural and cultural heritage has become an increasingly important issue across the globe. The equity principle of sustainable development necessitates that citizens hold the right to participate in the cultural economy of a place, requiring that inhabitants and other stakeholders are consulted on processes of continuity or transformation. However, aspirations of cultural exchange do not translate in practice. Equity in Heritage Conservation takes the UNESCO World Heritage City of Ahmedabad, India, as the foundational investigation into the realities of cultural heritage conservation and management. It contextualises the question of heritage by citing places, projects and initiatives from other cities around the world to identify issues, processes and improvements. Through illustrated chapters it discusses the understanding of heritage in relation to the sustainable development of living historic cities, the viability of specific measures, ethics of engagement and recommendations for governance. This book will appeal to a range of scholars interested in cultural heritage conservation and management, sustainable development, urban and regional planning, and architecture.

Based on a major international study, this volume provides a synthesis of scientific knowledge on megacity urbanization on the coast, environmental impacts, risks and management choices, including a focus on adaptation, mitigation and disaster risk management. It is the primary output of a major international scientific project sponsored by the International Geosphere Biosphere Programme, the Land-Ocean Interactions at the Coastal Zone programme of IHDP/IGBP, and others. It brings together the work of over 60 contributing authors and an international review board. It presents the international policy and academic community with an unbiased and high quality assessment of the state-of-the art in areas of social-ecological systems interaction. One of its main messages is that while we know a great deal about megacities of more than ten million people and about urban processes, and about coasts and their physical and ecological processes (aquatic, physical and atmospheric), there is relatively little work that focusses primarily at points of intersection between large-scale urbanization and the coast. The book responds to this gap by providing the first global synthesis of megacity and large urban region urbanization on the coast. Its focus is on environmental and development challenges, climate change and disaster. It is interdisciplinary and brings together world recognised scientists (including many IPCC lead authors) on urban climate and atmosphere, disaster risk management, demography and coastal environments.

All information has been updated to reflect the latest data with fresh details and technologies.

Well-being is now firmly established as an overarching theme of key concern to all professionals that work, manage or design the environment. However, well-being is a complex multi-dimensional issue rooted in the ways that we encounter, perceive and interpret the environment. No single discipline can claim to have sufficient knowledge to fully explain the types of interactions that occur, therefore there is a need to draw together a wide range of professions who are exploring the consequences of their actions upon the well-being of individuals and communities. This edited work addresses the above, consisting of a collection of studies which embrace different aspects of environment, landscape and well-being to consider current approaches to well-being research and practice that fall outside the traditional concepts of well-being as part of medical research, making links with architecture, landscape design, environmental perception, social interaction and environmental sustainability. The contributors originally presented at the international conference, ‘Well-Being 2011’ jointly hosted by Birmingham City University and the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA); the chapters have been developed to present a coherent series of themes reviewing a wide range of literature, presenting case studies appropriate to diverse audiences.

Contemporary Japanese Architecture presents a clear and comprehensive overview of the historical and cultural framework that informs the work of all Japanese architects, as an introduction to an in-depth investigation of the challenges now occupying the contemporary designers who will be the leaders of the next generation. It separates out the young generation of Japanese architects from the crowded, distinguished, multi-generational field they seek to join, and investigates the topics that absorb them, and the critical issues they face within the new economic reality of Japan and a shifting global order. Salient points in the text are illustrated by beautiful, descriptive images provided by the architects and from the extensive collection of the author. By combining illustrations with timelines and graphics to explain complex ideas, the book is accessible to any student seeking to understand contemporary Japanese architecture.

This guide for tomorrow’s urban practitioner systematically explains fifteen best practices across three continents; it explores questions of broad interest for designing and planning the future of cities and regions. Key questions addressed are: Is simulation useful to explore the effects of different design, policy and planning strategies? Which approach will help manage the uncertainties of metropolitan areas both today and tomorrow ? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the different simulation practices for city leadership, public and private partnership, and citizen involvement? The book reviews computer models and media, socio-political initiatives, professional practices which help communicating the future effects of different design, political and planning strategies with a wide range of aims: from information, through consultation, towards active participation. These world best practices are considered according to four leading issues for urban and regional development, respectively Simulation, Scenario and Visioning, Government and Governance, and Scale. The book examines the approaches adopted technically and procedurally. The selected knowledge and the innovative tools used in each case study are among the most advanced and up-to-date in the professional and research fields. This volume successfully illustrates these innovative practices and methodologies in a straightforward and accessible way.

This book surveys the intersections between water systems and the phenomenology of visual cultures in early modern, colonial and contemporary South Asia. Bringing together contributions by eminent artists, architects, curators and scholars who explore the connections between the environmental and the cultural, the volume situates water in an expansive relational domain. It covers disciplines as diverse as literary studies, environmental humanities, sustainable design, urban planning and media studies. The chapters explore the ways in which material cultures of water generate technological and aesthetic acts of envisioning geographies, and make an intervention within political, social and cultural discourses. A critical interjection in the sociologies of water in the subcontinent, the book brings art history into conversation with current debates on climate change by examining water’s artistic, architectural, engineering, religious, scientific and environmental facets from the 16th century to the present. This is one of the first books on South Asia’s art, architecture and visual history to interweave the ecological with the aesthetic under the emerging field of eco art history. The volume will be of interest to scholars and general readers of art history, Islamic studies, South Asian studies, urban studies, architecture, geography, history and environmental studies. It will also appeal to activists, curators, art critics and those interested in water management.

Scaffolding is used in many industries every day, all over the world, in the construction industry; for commercial and industrial maintenance; the staging and entertainment markets; the shipbuilding industry; mining; industrial plants, including power plants; hydro and nuclear power facilities; pulp and paper plants; petrochemical plants; oil refineries; and offshore drilling rigs. This book serves as a guide to any person involved with scaffolding in any way so that they will have a training and reference book that they can refer to for both scaffolding product knowledge and for estimating. The first ten chapters of this book include historical data and background information including product knowledge on all types of built-up scaffolding, suspended cradles, and swingstages. The eleventh chapter of this book is dedicated to the procedures that are used for estimating; preparing proposals, bids, and contracts, including systematic instructions on how to calculate the formulas that are most commonly used for estimating materials and labour outputs for scaffolding. Additionally, there are several sections of this book dedicated to temporary enclosures, built-up shoring and falsework, as well as manual and motorized suspended swingstages and cradles. There are very few books available on these topics. To my knowledge there are none dedicated to product knowledge and the estimating of built-up scaffolding systems. No book can be all-inclusive, and this handbook does not claim to be. Much time and research has been put into this book to ensure that as many of the proven estimating methods and design concepts for all types of built-up and suspended scaffolding have been covered. Since one of our greatest assets in any business are our employees, the proper training of all craft and support staff within an industry is of primary importance. Additionally, the continuity in the training given to staff should always be kept up to a measurable standard and continually maintained to an acceptable level.

În ce măsură poate contracara omenirea amenințările majore care pot veni dinspre mediul natural? Dereglări climatice, radiații solare, epidemii, explozii vulcanice, tornade, secetă, cutremure, tsunami – lista e nesfârșită. Trăim de fapt într-o lume extrem de ostilă și avem atât de infime capacități de a o struni. În raport cu datele din anul de grație 1985, Lucian Boia face în această carte o trecere în revistă a diverselor dezastre care și-au pus amprenta asupra evoluției societăților și a civilizației, precum și o comparație cu momentul actual, când este evident că funcţionarea mecanismului om–natură suferă un dezechilibru, foarte probabil ireversibil. Într-adevăr, lumea nu se va sfârși, spune autorul, din pricina cutremurelor, sau a petelor solare, sau a variației axei Pământului. Nici chiar din pricina pandemiilor. Primejdia cea mare o reprezintă acum încălzirea climei și efectul de seră, fenomen global și potențial distrugător, a cărui răspundere o poartă cu precădere omul. Dar nu e deloc sigur că omenirea mai poate opri procesul, sau măcar că își dorește să-și schimbe modul de viață. Abia în acest punct specia umană riscă să dispară cu adevărat. „Dacă ne vom mai încălzi cu câteva grade, să ne aşteptăm ca o teribilă criză de civilizaţie să lovească omenirea. Se va petrece – cine ştie? – o mare migraţie spre Nord, Africa revărsându‑se asupra Europei. Migraţia actuală determinată de sărăcie şi de conflicte armate se va amplifica din motive climatice. Lumea va fierbe, atât la propriu, cât şi la figurat. Dar dacă lucrurile vor merge și mai departe? Va mai exista scăpare? Să emigrăm în spaţiul cosmic? Nici o altă planetă a Sistemului Solar nu oferă condiţii de viaţă cât de cât asemănătoare cu cele de pe Terra. Deocamdată, odată ce am ajunge în situaţia ca Pământul să nu ne mai suporte, nu avem nici un fel de soluţie de rezervă.“ — LUCIAN BOIA Pe copertă: Simon de Myle, Arca lui Noe pe Muntele Ararat (detaliu), 1570

El diseño estructural, al ser parte inseparable del diseño arquitectónico de la obra, surge desde el mismo momento de la concepción de los espacios, de modo tal que al ir definiendo cada uno de ellos, podremos, a su vez, ir determinando los elementos estructurales que la conforman. Cuando proyectamos la estructura en hormigón armado, debemos tomar en cuenta las características del mismo. En nuestro medio, es el material estructural más utilizado, por razones económicas y tecnológicas. Una vez trazado el esquema estructural, que representa la propuesta, se predimesiona cada uno de los elementos, es decir pre fijamos las dimensiones (ya que el peso propio es una de las cargas principales a considerar), no solo en función de la resistencia requerida, sino considerando además las necesidades formales y funcionales del proyecto global del edificio. A partir de aquí, y una vez consolidado tanto el proyecto arquitectónico como el estructural, determinaremos las cargas reales que debe soportar, para luego calcular las solicitaciones y finalmente dimensionar la armadura de cada una de las piezas que componen la estructura, verificando el rendimiento.

Almost a century since the idea of creating more humane — more human-centric — cities was brought to the fore, how far has mankind progressed towards creating a true 'city with a heart'? How far off are we, and what can we do to close the gap?The first generation of smart cities showed the limits of top-down planning, in which cities contracted out design and implementation to IT providers. As residents resented paying high taxes for 'smart' urban features that they did not want or use, it became plain that smart cities were not sustainable, and needed to be re-thought. 'Smart City 2.0' starts the design process with understanding the needs of human residents. Little has yet been written about smart cities' second wind.This book offers leading-edge, international perspectives on Smart City 2.0. It offers an overview of the sustainable smart city concept, presents leading experts' latest thinking on strategies for a new generation of smart cities, and showcases eight implementation case studies from seven countries. All chapters are contributed by prominent, leading thinkers and practitioners from a dozen countries, representing both the developed and the developing worlds.Related Link(s)

This Handbook provides the knowledge needed to design and deploy proactive construction project procurement and delivery systems based on essentials while addressing emerging construction industry imperatives in order to boost overall performance. Section 1 of the Handbook provides an overview, while Section 2 provides the fundamentals with fresh insights into the building blocks and trends in performance-linked procurement and delivery, including procurement strategies and commercial priorities, project briefs and management plans, design management, stakeholder management, risk management, ethics and professionalism, team building, information and knowledge management, digital aids, conflict, claims and dispute management, collaborative contracting, relationship-based teamworking and linking to built asset management. Section 3 explores and expands on specific trends, including sub-contractor selection, Building Information Modelling (BIM) in project cost management; off-site and modern methods of construction; 4IR/5IR technologies; and constructing for the circular economy, supply chain resilience and social value imperatives in this domain. While other books describe standard processes or focus on specific strategies such as design and build, target cost contracting or integrated project delivery, this Handbook presents the fundamentals of such processes and protocols together with invited specialist insights into growing trends and imperatives in holistic procurement and delivery. Those who could benefit from this Handbook include academics, researchers, postgraduate students, policy makers and administrators, managers in both public and private sectors involved with planning and overseeing construction project procurement and/or delivery and undergraduates looking for a balanced introduction and useful insights into what is critical to the success of construction projects, organisations and the industry itself.

La battaglia di Vittorio Veneto o terza battaglia del Piave fu l'ultimo scontro armato tra Italia e Impero austro-ungarico nel corso della prima guerra mondiale. Si combatté tra il 24 ottobre e il 4 novembre 1918 nella zona tra il fiume Piave, il Massiccio del Grappa, il Trentino e il Friuli e seguì di pochi mesi la fallita offensiva austriaca del giugno 1918 che non era riuscita ad infrangere la resistenza italiana sul Piave e sul Grappa e si era conclusa con un grave indebolimento della forza e della capacità di combattimento dell'imperial regio Esercito. Questa battaglia e' narrata direttamente da Enrico Caviglia (Finalmarina, 4 maggio 1862 – Finale Ligure, 22 marzo 1945), generale e politico italiano, Maresciallo d'Italia per le imprese della Prima guerra mondiale.

Tradisi lisan kantola adalah salah satu bentuk sastra lisan yang berasal dari masyarakat Muna, Sulawesi Tenggara. Kantola adalah sebuah permainan yang melibatkan dua kelompok yang saling berbalas pantun dengan irama dan nada tertentu. Kantola biasanya dimainkan pada saat acara adat, keagamaan, atau festival budaya. Lirik kantola mengandung makna-makna yang berkaitan dengan perasaan, pengalaman pribadi, dan dimensi kemasyarakatan. Kantola juga merupakan media ekspresi dan komunikasi antara masyarakat Muna dengan budaya-budaya lain, seperti Bali dan Lombok. Kantola memiliki bentuk syair yang mirip dengan soneta, tetapi tidak terikat oleh aturan sajak maupun jumlah baris. Kantola diturunkan secara lisan dari generasi ke generasi dalam lingkungan klan atau marga. Tradisi lisan kantola merupakan warisan budaya yang perlu dilestarikan dan dikembangkan agar tidak punah akibat pengaruh budaya modern. Kantola merupakan pernyataan perasaan dan pendapat seseorang, yang disampaikan secara santun, sesuai dengan budaya masyarakat setempat. Komunikasi dengan menggunakan kantola lebih berkesan mudah dihayati, dipahami maksud serta pendapat seseorang. Kantola berfungsi sebagai alat untuk mempertahankan kecermatan berbahasa. Hal ini akan menumbuhkan sikap penghargaan terhadap orang lain dan sikap malu untuk berbuat kesalahan. Dalam masyarakat tradisional, yang masih menjunjung tinggi nilai-nilai adat yang berlandaskan pada tradisi, sikap malu merupakan dasar yang paling hakiki dalam kehidupan masyarakat.

This special edition of the Journal of Artistic and Creative Education (JACE) brings together authors from across Australia discussing issues central to the ongoing development and importance of education within museums. What are the distinctive characteristics and significance of museum education? How does learning occur in museums and what does it look like? Who is engaged in museum education and where does it take place? What are some of the benefits of museum education? This edition explores these broad questions through nine articles that individually address the role of museum learning as providing a transformative experience in a rich, ‘hands-on’ and diverse environment. The authors present a wide array of case studies and examples from their institutions and their research, providing practical and invigorating discussions on the purpose, pedagogy and practice of museum education. At a time when there are significant cuts being made to education budgets in Australia, thereby often limiting excursions to museums and other cultural sites, it seems timely to publish a special edition that sheds light on the power of learning in museums and to make a case for museum learning. Moreover, museums are already producing effective learning experi-ences that are highly appreciated by their users, and these deserve to be celebrated. This celebration will hopefully lead to increased appreciation and understanding of the educational possibilities in museums and galleries, of why professionals have chosen to work in particular ways and the outcomes of their work.

“Tetapi apa yang kita ‘cutat’ dari Kalam Allah dan Sunnah Rasul itu? Bukan apinya, bukan nyalanya, bukan flame-nya, tetapi abunya, debunya, asbesnya.” (Ir. Soekarno) “Umat Islam terlalu menganggap fiqh itu satu-satunya tiang keagamaan. Kita lupa, atau kita tidak mau tahu, bahwa tiang keagamaan ialah terutama sekali terletak di dalam ketundukan kita punya jiwa kepada Allah. Kita lupa bahwa fiqh itu, walaupun sudah kita saring semurni-murninya, belum mencukupi semua kehendak agama Islam. Maka benarlah perkataan Halide Edib Hanum, bahwa Islam di zaman akhir-akhir ini ‘bukan lagi pemimpin hidup, tetapi agama pokrol-bambu’. Janganlah kita kira diri kita sudah mukmin, tetapi hendaklah kita insyaf, bahwa banyak di kalangan kita yang Islamnya masih Islam Sontoloyo!” (Ir. Soekarno) Sebuah buku besar warisan presiden pertama kita, yang sangat relevan, akan selalu relevan, dengan realitas dan pergumulan wacana keislaman kita hari ini.

Buya Hamka mengangkat dan menyoroti sembilan elemen penting yang kadang abai dan luput dari perhatian kita. Betapa kehidupan ini diiringi oleh dua sisi yang berhimpitan, tetapi kadang bertolak belakang. Sisi dermawan dan bakhil, surga dan neraka, kekayaan dan kepailitan, dan lain-lain. Betapa kerap kali manusia terjerumus oleh kenaifannya, ketamakannya, nafsunya, dan jeratan tipu daya setan. [Gema Insani] [Buya Hamka] [Hamka]

About Black Girl Magic CaShawn Thompson, a proud third-generation native of Washington, DC, came up with the concept "Black Girls Are Magic" when she was a little girl growing up with her mother, grandmother, and aunts. It sprang forth fully formed from the mind of a poor little Black girl who didn't yet have the words to describe the brilliance she saw in the women in her family, but had heard countless tales of fairies, witches, and magicians. It was just magic to her. And it still is. Black Girls Are Magic became wildly popular in 2013 after CaShawn began using the phrase online (it was later shortened to the hashtag #BlackGirlMagic) to uplift and praise the accomplishments, beauty, and other amazing qualities of Black women.

Bila disebut kata “shalat”, siapa yang tidak mengenalnya? Setiap hari, paling tidak lima kali, kita melaksanakannya. Tapi, tahukan Anda sejak kapan ibadah harian ini diperintahkan? Apakah shalat hanya dilaksanakan oleh umat Muhammad saja atau sudah dilaksanakan oleh umat terdahulu? Bila ditunjukkan Al-Qur’an, pasti setiap kita akan mengenalinya. Sejak dari kecil kita telah mempelajarinya. Saat dewasa, kita tak pernah berhenti membacanya. Pun, ketika kita sudah tua. Tapi, tahukah Anda bahwa saat diturunkan kepada nabi Muhammad, Al-Qur’an belum menggunakan tanda baca. Dan, saat ini ada 7 cara baca kitab suci umat Islam ini. Bila ditanyakan tentang masjid, dengan mudah siapa pun kita akan mampu menjawab dan menunjukkannya. Bukan saja kita sering melihatnya, tapi kita juga sering beraktivitas di rumah ibadah umat Islam ini. Tapi, Tahukah Anda masjid apa yang pertama kali dibangun? Apakah di zaman Nabi sudah ada mihrab dan menara? Semua pertanyaan-pertanyaan tersebut akan dikupas tuntas buku ini. Asal usul ibadah, sumber hukum ibadah, dan tempat ibadah diuraikan dari Ahingga Z. Insya Allah, ibadah kita pun bukan sekadar dilaksanakan, apalagi ikut-ikutan. Tapi, kita melaksanakannya dengan penuh kesadaran dan berdasarkan pengetahuan.

Ia dikenal sebagai ulama yang menguasai fiqih dan hadist serta ilmu pengobatan Beliau menulis buku ini setelah melakukan riset mendalam tentang hubungan antara laki-laki dan perempuan, untuk menjelaskan prinsip-prinsip apa saja yang dapat membahagiakan laki-laki dan perempuan, berdasarkan karakter, temperamen, dan kesehatannya. Buku bukanlah 100% karya orisinal Syaikh al Nafzawi, beliau banyak mengkompulasi dari sumber-sumber lain, seperti hikayat Arab dan juga dari karya tulis India. Bukunya bisa dikatakan sangat lengkap membahas berbagai hal tentang seks, seni bercinta dan juga tentang pengobatan yang berkaitan dengannya, dan juga beberapa hikayat serta anekdot. Tidak diragukan Syaikh al Nafzawi pada bukunya ini dia bukan hanya sekedar sex therapyst, tetapi juga memiliki pengetahuan anatomi manusia yang mendalam dan menguasai ilmu kedokteran, serta pengetahuan agama yang mendalam. Buku ini terdiri dari 20 Bab. Dimulai dengan pembahasan tentang Laki-laki dan Perempuan, kemudian adab berjima yang berisi penjelasan tentang foreplay, selanjutnya dibahas tentang gaya dan posisi berjima yang terdiri dari 11 cara berjima dan 25 gaya berjima, dibahas juga gerakan jima, bab selanjutnya tentang kehamilan,dan pengobatan. Pada tahun 1850 buku tersebut diterjemahkan ke dalam bahasa Perancis oleh pegawai kolonialis Perancis di Tunisia. Buku tersebut menimbulkan kehebohan, terutama kalangan gereja. Pada saat itu masyarakat Eropa dan khususnya gereja, memandang seks sebagai sesuatu yang kotor dan dosa (sex is a sin), dan tabu membicarakannya. Karenanya fihak gereja menetapkan posisi seks suami istri hanya boleh dilakukan dengan gaya misionary position dan harus dilakukan secepat mungkin. Berbeda dengan pandangan islam, seks bukanlah sesuatu yang kotor, tetapi suci dan bahkan bernilai ibadah,dengan syarat dilakukan oleh suami istri yang sah telah menikah. Membicarakan seks bukanlah hal yang tabu dalam islam. Ada beberapa hadis-hadis dan pendapat para ulama yang berisi panduan dari Rasulullah SAW , para sahabat dan para ulama tentang hubungan suami istri. Berikut ini beberapa di antaranya. Ada hadis yang menjelaskan bahwa dalam hubungan suami istri hendaknya dilakukan dengan pendahuluan terlebih dahulu, atau dalam bahasa sekarang istilahnya adalah ‘foreplay’. Sabda Rasulullah SAW: “Janganlah antara kamu melakukan hubungan badan dengan isterinya seperti binatang. Sebaiknya mereka melakukan dua perkara terlebih dulu.” Sahabat bertanya, apa dua perkara itu? Rasulullah menjawab “kecupan dan kata-kata mesra” (Hadis riwayat Dailami). Dalam hadis tersebut nampak bahwa ada hal tentang seks yang tidak difahami oleh sahabat, sehingga kemudian mereka bertanya lalu Rasulullah SAW menjelaskan. Dari hadis ini dapat diambil pelajaran bahwa menjadi tanggung jawab bagi seorang pemimpin dan guru untuk menerangkan sesuatu yang kurang difahami dalam soal hubungan kelamin / seks, dan hal ini bukanlah sesuatu yang memalukan. Di dunia pesantren sex education diajarkan dalam bentuk nadzham (syair yang dilagukan), dan Nadzham yang populer di dunia pesantren adalah Nazham Qurotul Uyun, karangan Ibnu Yamun.

After the Beginning opens with the Divine Family (God, Goddess, and all the angels) celebrating the completion of the universe - sun, moons, and eight perfect planets, with no mistakes at all. But when Little Angel suggests that there could be one more planet, one where "things aren't the same all the time," things begin to unravel... God, Goddess, Little Angel, and the whole family of angels - Inventor Angel, Artist Angel, Musician Angel, Arithmetic Angel, Scientist Angel, Geometry Angel, Biology Angel, and Fire Angel - eagerly create a beautiful blue-green planet, filled with plants and animals and birds and fish. And for a long time, everything runs "just right." But then, some of the "new ones," who are just like angels, begin to get greedy and careless with their planet. They poison the water, pollute the air, and cut down the forests. Things get worse and worse, until children - from all around the word - cry "Remember!" "Remember the forest!" "Remember to share!" "Remember the water!" "Remember the air!" In this wise and marvelously enchanting tale, Carolyn Pogue connects the sacredness of the earth, the ecological crisis, and children's leadership in a way that will inspire children and adults alike. A perfect complement, Margaret Kyle's vibrant illustrations create a sense of awe that will move and delight readers of all ages.

Ratih menatap dua garis merah, yang tergambar jelas di sebuah benda pipih terbuat dari kertas dan ada batas urinnya. Tangan gemetar, kakinya serasa sudah tidak lagi menapak di bumi. Ini bukan kehamilan pertamanya, yang jadi masalah adalah ... Ratih seorang janda beranak satu. Ratih meraih ponselnya, sebuah nama dari kontaknya segera ia panggil. Tak berapa lama kemudian, tanpa menunggu suara terdengar dari seberang .... “Mas ... aku mau bicara penting, sekarang!!” “....” Suara di seberang tidak membantah, Ratih tahu pemilik suara di seberang sedang cuti. Jadi pasti segera menemui dirinya, Ratih segera menstarter motor sportnya, menyusuri jalan desa yang berbatu. Menuju ke tempat yang selalu mereka tuju, jika rindu. Tak sampai tiga puluh menit, suara motor lain mendekati gubug tua tempat Ratih menunggu. Sosok yang ia kenal dan mengisi hari-harinya, selama enam bulan terakhir, menghampirinya. “Ada apa, Sayang? Kok tumben, ngajak ketemu tiba-tiba. Untung Silvia gak di rumah, jadi bisa langsung ke sini.” Pria itu duduk di sebelah Ratih, meraih tangannya. Haris namanya, hidung bangir, kulitnya cokelat. Yang paling menggoda Ratih adalah senyumannya, yang selalu membuat tidur Ratih tak nyenyak. “Aku ... aku hamil, Mas?” Ratih nampak ragu. Haris terdiam menatap manik mata Ratih, tak lama ia palingkan wajah ke arah lain. ===== Lanjutannya baca saja di novel ... selamat menikmati

“Generasi baru muslim telah lahir dari rahim sejarah, tanpa kehadiran sang ayah, tidak ditunggui saudara-saudaranya. Kelahirannya bahkan tidak terdengar oleh muslim yang lain.” Mereka adalah generasi baru yang kini bermekaran dalam satuan-satuan lain, seperti Negara, bangsa, daerah, partai, ormas, kelas usaha, dan sebagainya. Pengetahuan agama mereka bukan dari lembaga konvensional, seperti masjid, pesantren, atau madrasah, melainkan dari sumber anonym, seperti kursus, seminar, buku, majalah, kaset, CD, VCD, internet, radio, dan televisi. Banyak yang tercengang melihat fenomena ini. Seperti halnya banyak agamawan yang tidak sanggup melihat gejala-gejala modern sehingga gagal memahami makna kesenjangan structural, atau para pelaku KKN(korupsi, kolusi, dan nepotisme) berjubah keshalihan. Berbagai kecenderungan baru Islam di Indonesia dewasa ini---termasuk lahirnya generasi muslim tanpa masjid--- dieksplorasi secara tajam oleh Kuntowijoyo dengan suatu metode yang disebutnya strukturalisme transcendental. (Di bagian awal, Kunto menjelaskan panjang-lebar mengenai metode tersebut). Inilah jurus paling baru Kunto dalam memahami sekaligus menerapkan ajaran-ajaran Islam dalam konteks kekinian.

"Você sabe quais foram os momentos geológicos decisivos que transformaram a Terra em um planeta habitável? A vida se originou na Terra ou foi trazida no interior de cometas ou asteroides de outros mundos fora do sistema solar?" Este livro conta histórias sobre a Terra, o único mundo conhecido onde a vida existe e evolui há pelo menos 13,8 bilhões de anos a contar do Big Bang. Como mirando as janelas para o passado, a paleontologia se debruça sobre os fósseis para lançar luz sobre acontecimentos de vida e morte, explosões de gigantesca magnitude, quedas brutais de temperatura, enormes movimentos tectônicos e climáticos, e recomposições que se sucederam ao longo de um período de eons e eras, bilhões e milhões de anos, em que, se comparado ao período de 24 horas, o Homo sapiens habitaria seus últimos segundos. Os dinossauros fazem parte da história do mundo e recebem neste livro um tratamento especial, pois viveram no intervalo mais vibrante da evolução geológica da superfície terrestre. Como esclarece o autor, "não pense que sua vida nada tem a ver com os dinossauros. Eles moldaram a evolução de seus ancestrais ao longo de milhões de anos, e por isso hoje você, e todos os outros mamíferos, gozam de uma vida sofisticada e diversa em todos os ecossistemas terrestres". Um texto atraente e instigante, em que a vida nos apresenta os protagonistas de sua evolução, assim como os momentos mais marcantes de sua trajetória até hoje.

La industria aeroespacial es la segunda actividad más normada luego de las activi- dades nucleares; está regida por infinidad de normas, reglamentaciones, directivas, documentación específica y todo tipo de manuales de referencia obligatoria. La gran mayoría llega a manos de usuarios, operadores, talleristas, etc. en idioma in- glés, el idioma de uso aeronáutico por naturaleza. A ello se suma el hecho de que la industria aeronáutica no está aislada de las actividades humanas, sino que inte- ractúa, se nutre y hace su aporte a ellas creando la necesidad de un sólido vínculo interdisciplinario. Ahora bien, si bien conocemos la existencia de esta necesidad de creación de un fuerte vínculo interdisciplinario también sabemos que en esta tarea nos encon- tramos con una gran barrera en el mismo: la comunicación. A partir de esto es po- sible considerar varios impedimentos en esa “barrera”. Uno de los más importan- tes es el idioma; como factor concurrente está el uso de “regionalismos” y, como consecuencia de ellos, la aplicación de “jergas específicas”. Desde los albores de la aviación hemos convivido con ese problema; sucede que al incrementarse día a día el número de operaciones, al crecer el parque aero- náutico y convertirse la aviación en una necesidad para el resto de las actividades humanas, las condiciones inseguras, los incidentes y los accidentes continúan pro- duciéndose, quedando de manifiesto las falencias de la industria en ese aspecto. ii Las nuevas tecnologías en materiales, los nuevos métodos de diseño y los pla- nes de mantenimiento con técnicas de inspección no destructivas han reducido los riesgos latentes de fallas técnicas, pero no todos los aspectos relacionados con la vida humana puede solucionarlos la tecnología, por lo que en paralelo con los desarrollos tecnológicos, se han creado conceptos de gestión del factor humano que han contribuido en gran medida a la seguridad operacional y desde el año 1978 su estudio y prevención se ha expandido considerablemente, por lo que en todos los programas de estudio y mejoramiento de la interacción antropológica (CRM, MRM, LOFT, SHELL, etc.), la comunicación es un vínculo importantísi- mo en la seguridad operacional. Si trasladamos lo expuesto a las tareas diarias, ya sea en la operación de una aeronave, en el mantenimiento de la misma, en el control del tránsito aéreo, en la administración de las empresas operadoras o en cualquier otra actividad relaciona- da con la industria aeroespacial, se presentará el problema del uso del idioma in- glés, los “regionalismos” y las “jergas específicas”, factores tendientes a desencade- nar una sucesión de eventos inseguros que podrían desembocar en un incidente o en un accidente de consecuencias catastróficas. Cuando se analiza la comunicación oral y escrita, es importante tener en cuen- ta que, si bien manejamos un vocabulario técnico en común, es inevitable, tanto en inglés como en español, el uso de regionalismos y “argot” (“jargon” en inglés). Por ejemplo, un técnico ecuatoriano hablará de “la bitácora de la aeronave”, mien- tras que uno argentino hablará de “la libreta historial de la aeronave”. Esta diver- gencia puede justificarse como un caso de regionalismos de países diferentes; aho- ra bien, en el segundo ejemplo, el mismo técnico argentino en la provincia de Bue- nos Aires, hablará de “chavetas para frenar un bulón”, mientras que otro técnico argentino, en Córdoba, hablará de “cupillas para frenar un bulón”. En paralelo, se puede ver también que los diferentes fabricantes tienen léxicos específicos con res- pecto a sus productos; por ejemplo, uno de los más conocidos fabricantes británi- cos de motores, posee un sistema propio de códigos de denominación y aplicación de Boletines de Servicio no mandatorios, muy distinto al que manejan sus compe- tidores directos de Estados Unidos y Canadá. Por eso, la intención de este manual iii es contemplar una cantidad importante de tales divergencias, presentándolas en cada asiento específico para que el uso del término y el concepto se apliquen con la mayor propiedad posible. La propuesta de este manual es constituirse en una obra de referencia pensada como apoyo idiomático para interpretar y utilizar con mayor exactitud todos los niveles en que se presenta la terminología aeronáutica y contribuir a la aclaración de las dudas que continuamente se dan en la traducción de ambas lenguas en los diferentes campos de la aviación.

From rising star Tony Weaver, Jr. comes a middle-grade graphic novel memoir about an awkward preteen who loves all things geeky but struggles with mental health issues and self-doubt, perfect for fans of Jerry Craft's New Kid. Eleven-year-old Tony Weaver, Jr. loves comic books, anime, and video games, and idolizes the heroic, larger-than-life characters he finds there. But his new classmates all think he’s a weirdo. Bullied by his peers, Tony struggles with the hurt of not being accepted and tries to conform to other people's expectations. After a traumatic event shakes him to his core, he embarks on a journey of self love that will require him to become the hero of his own story. Weirdo is a triumphant, witty, and comedic story for any kid who's ever felt awkward, left out, or like they don't belong. An adolescence survival guide that will give every reader the confidence to make it to the other side. Praise for Weirdo: "I've been singing the praises of Tony Weaver Jr. for years, and here, I'm proud to say, he's given me one more reason to do so. Weirdo is more than a graphic novel about bullying or misfits. It's a blinding light of a tale about a boy who fights to become himself. About an oddball who finds wonder in his own weirdness. It's a reminder that we all have a place. And people. And some of us have a particular point of view on the world. I'm so happy Tony is using his to bring such palpable joy, love, and imagination to it." —Jason Reynolds, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Look Both Ways "Tony’s Heartfelt story reminds us Why Embracing Individuality Radically Defies Obstacles." —Jerry Craft, 2020 Newbery and Coretta Scott King Book Award winner for New Kid "Weirdo empowers readers to celebrate their own identities and offers hope to find the crew that will love you for all of your magnificent quirks!" —Jarrett J. Krosoczka, National Book Award finalist for Hey, Kiddo "Weirdo is a powerful story filled with empathy about the effects of bullying and how we can attempt to cope with it." —Dan Santat, 2023 National Book Award Winner for A First Time for Everything

A Grammar Series That Uses the Functional Approach KEY FEATURES ● Functional approach to grammar teaching, using exemplars to illustrate the usage before defining the structure and rules ● Vocabulary taught through language-in-use to build the learners’ vocabulary through use rather than memorisation of rules ● Contemporary topics to inculcate 21-century skills amongst learners ● Use of literature to help learners understand how grammar is used in text ● A comprehension section comprising texts from different genres so that learners may relate grammar to different types of works produced in English ● Phonics in Grades 1 and 2 to teach the very basis of language ● Uniquely stylised illustrations ● Activities such as puzzles, crosswords, word grids and games to aid the facilitator in using the concept of ‘flipped classroom’ ● Periodic tests to help the learners self-assess the acquisition of concepts ● Digital component to cater to a technology-driven classroom DESCRIPTION: My Blue Book of Grammar is a course that has been conceptualized and designed keeping in mind the increasingly dynamic role of the English language in today’s world. Especially in our country, where English serves as the lingua franca, a grammar course has to offer not only an exposition of the pedagogy but also the exhibition of the utility of that pedagogy. The aim of a grammar series should be to encourage the development of competency amongst learners, even though their proficiency levels may vary. While the level of exposure to English of all learners may be different, a grammar series should aid in the development of a certain level of confidence amongst the learners, with the end result being that they are able to converse without hesitation in English. WHAT WILL YOU LEARN ● Understand grammar concepts ● Learn how to use different vocabulary concepts taught through language-in-use ● Learn 21-century skills ● Develop deeper understanding of and appreciation for literature ● Have clearer pronunciation through a better understanding of phonics WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR: School students of Grades 7 TABLE OF CONTENTS GRAMMAR 1.

NAACP Image Award Nominee “In a word, stunning.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Through artful prose and beautiful illustrations, Donna Jo Napoli and Kadir Nelson tell the true story of Wangari Muta Maathai, known as “Mama Miti,” who in 1977 founded the Green Belt Movement, an African grassroots organization that has empowered many people to mobilize and combat deforestation, soil erosion, and environmental degradation. Today, more than 30 million trees have been planted throughout Mama Miti’s native Kenya, and in 2004 she became the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Wangari Muta Maathai has changed Kenya tree by tree—and with each page turned, children will realize their own ability to positively impact the future.

Are you interested in working from home by starting a profitable freight brokerage business? Do you want a done-for-you guide from start to finish that brings you closer to your dream of becoming a successful freight broker? If this is you, then read on… In today’s world, the freight brokerage industry is growing continuously and it is very rewarding to become a freight broker if you build upon the right foundation. For instance, a freight broker can profit anywhere between 10% and 35% per any shipment they handle. Starting out at first could fetch you around $100 to $500 per shipment. Upon building professional networks and having some solid experience to go with it, you could earn as much as $5,175 for every shipment. Multiplying this value with the number of shipments handled per day can be astonishing! However, the reason most new freight brokers fail to succeed is because they lack proper knowledge and understanding of the business and what they hope to achieve. Before commencing a new freight brokerage business, you have to take into account several factors, one of which is getting educated. This is likely the most critical factor to consider when starting your brokerage business. The key to success is knowledge and to be successful, you must be well-informed about the freight moving industry.

أصبح الخيال حقيقة وتحول الذكاء الاصطناعي من مجرد خيال علمي إلى واقع حقيقي، وأصبحت هذه التكنولوجيا تحيط بنا من كل جانب، ورويدا رويدا دخلت في صناعة الدراما، وظهر التخوف من قضاء العنصر الآلي على العنصر البشري واختفاء الكثير من المهن نتيجة لهذا التقدم التكنولوجي، وأصبحت صناعة الدراما مهددة بنسبة ما، وفي مجالات عدة لا تقتصر فقط على التصوير بل تصل إلى التأليف والإخراج والتمثيل ، فيصبح الإبداع البشري هو إبداع تطبيقات الذكاء الاصطناعي، ومع ازدهار دراما المنصات الرقمية في الآونة الأخيرة ، واستخدام تطبيقات الذكاء الاصطناعي في تحليل رغبات الجمهور والتعرف على نوعية المسلسلات التي يقبل على مشاهدتها، ومدى وجود شراهة للمشاهدة من عدمه، ومع تخوف كتاب السيناريو من تقنية (GPT (Chatفي كتابة النصوص الدرامية عوضا عن الكتاب والمؤلفين، ومدى احتمالية وجود ممثلين افتراضيين يحلون محل الممثلين البشريين، ظهرت الكثير من مخاوف الخبراء والمسؤولين والنقاد الفنيين على مستوى العالم من تهديد هذه التكنولوجيا لصناعة الدراما السينمائية والتليفزيونية. وأصبح من المهم عزيزي القارئ البحث في هذه الإشكالية ودراستها، والتعرف على أراء خبراء الدراما في مصر حول تأثير تطبيقات الذكاء الاصطناعي على صناعة الدراما السينمائية والتليفزيونية ودراما المنصات، والتحديات التي تواجهها هذه الصناعة، والتعرف أيضا على أشهر الأعمال الدرامية السينمائية والتليفزيونية الأجنبية والعربية التي تناولت محور تطبيقات الذكاء الاصطناعي في مضمونها، ووجود الروبوت أو الإنسان الآلي ضمن أحداثها، بالإضافة إلى إلقاء الضوء على دراما المنصات الرقمية، ومدى استعانتها بتطبيقات الذكاء الاصطناعي، والتعرف أيضا على أراء الجمهور واتجاهاتهم نحو دراما الخيال العلمي التي تناولت استخدام البشرية لتطبيقات الذكاء الاصطناعي وخاصة الروبوت أو الانسان الآلي ، وكيف أثرت هذه الدراما على إيمان الجمهور بواقعية المضمون المقدم، وأن ما يراه على الشاشة قد يكون حقيقة في الفترة الحالية أو مستقبلًا.

In 1987, Latif Yahia was taken to Saddam's headquarters to meet Uday, Saddam's eldest son, and told that a great honour has been bestowed upon him: that because of the great likeness between them, he had been chosen to be Uday's double. For many Iraquis, it would have been the highlight of their lives, but for Latif, a peace-loving man who did not agree with Saddam's brutal regime, it was not. He refused. Following a week of torture and realising he would be killed if he continued to refuse, Latif was forced to accept the role. After a gruesome training programme during which he was made to watch over thirty films of torture, hours of tapes of Uday, and undertake a final remodelling of his appearance, Latif was deemed ready. But it was only after the final test, a meeting with Saddam himself, that Latif made his first public appearance. And so began his life as Uday's double - a life on the perimeter of the inner circle of Saddam's eldest son, a witness to the horror of his insane life of debauchery, excess and brutality, and an experience for which he almost paid with his life on more than one occasion. THE DEVIL’S DOUBLE: is the first of 3 autobiographical books chronicling Latif Yahia’s incredible life story. It vividly describes how Latif was forced to become Uday Hussein’s ‘fidai’ (body double) and gives a unique insight into the extreme extravagance and cruelty of the Saddam regime. Latif survived assassination attempts and witnessed Uday’s psychotic temper, rapes, orgy parties, torture atrocities, and sadistic murders. The book has recently been made into a highly acclaimed movie. THE BLACK HOLE: gives a fascinating account of what happened to Latif in Europe after he escaped from Iraq. How he was treated by western governments and the CIA. How Uday sought revenge on Latif and vice-versa. How he was offered a British passport by Saudis to murder a dissident and how they beheaded Latif’s Saudi princess lover. How Latif made and lost a fortune. How he strived in vain for a peaceful life and survived 4 more assassination attempts. Forty Shades of Conspiracy: brings Latif’s story right up to date by detailing his time in Ireland. His run-ins with drug-dealers, Corrupt Irish Garda officers and Irish politicians who continually denied him Irish citizenship. His despair as a beggar on the streets and the happiness he found after he met the love of his life. His reaction to Uday and Saddam’s deaths and his opinion on the current political situation in Iraq all makes fascinating reading. Book Description: In 1987, Latif Yahia was taken to Saddam's headquarters to meet Uday, Saddam's eldest son, and told that a great honour had been bestowed upon him: that because of the great likeness between them, he had been chosen to be Uday's double.

But it was only after the final test, a meeting with Saddam himself, that Latif made his first public appearance. And so began his life as Uday's double - a life on the perimeter of the inner circle of Saddam's eldest son, a witness to the horror of his insane life of debauchery, excess and brutality, and an experience for which he almost paid with his life on more than one occasion. A note from the Author : This book was written in 1992, originally it was 1,000 pages long with even more facts and details than contained in the pages herein, because of it's size the original publisher trimmed it down to the 300 or so pages that it is today. After the fall of Saddam Hussein and his regime in 2003 the facts in this book were confirmed. Many of Uday Hussein's employees found new masters over the years since my flight from Iraq, some work for the US intelligence services, some for the UK, but no matter how they may try to discredit me and my story the facts remain and as you now know I had already put them on paper in 1992, eleven years before the regime fell. I did not have a crystal ball to know all these things, I knew them because I was there, that was my life. Uday's employees have admitted in the Western media to being Pimps for him, they also admit to working as spies against him for the US and the UK intelligence services in return for citizenship of the respective country, what I ask is this, If a man is willing to sell women to a man that he knows to be a sadist, if he is willing to sell his country and himself, is it not then conceivable that he will sell his soul and say anything for money? I have paid a high price for my refusal to co-operate with the intelligence services, the CIA in particular, after twenty years in the West I am still stateless, I cannot return to Iraq because the new Government consider me a colaborator of the Hussein regime, although while they were in oppossition to Saddam they found my book to be a useful tool against him and his regime. Saddam while in power considered me a traitor. I do not regret my decision to leave Iraq or write my story, but I have not found the Western governments to be as open and democratic as they were portrayed to us in the Middle-East. In my search for a new counry to call home, I have found that those whose story is a fabrication are given the protection of the state as they are no threat, money is their only goal in life so they will not rock the boat', while I, who have an opinion and voice it openly (that is probably my biggest problem) am ignored, refused and while not told to leave am not made especially welcome either, I am tolerated. I do not nor did I ever seek fame, I have not made money from my story and if I do it will go to charity. It amuses me how the tables turn, when Saddam was in power my book was held up in the US Congress and given as a reason for Saddam's removal, now that Saddam is gone those that once used my story for their benefit have tried to denounce me, I have been interviewed by the world's biggest and best names over 1,800 TV, Print and Radio, journalist's who do their research and know who to ask for opinion, the old guard who took pride in their work and valued their reputation. While there are still some true journalists out there many work to order if their editor wants a specific story they make it, true or not, there is no oversight. Although it was never my intention, this book has been used as propaganda for the War on Iraq, my intention when I wrote it was to open the eyes of the world to the horrors and atrocities committed by the regime and to spur the Iraqi people into action. It will always disturb me that the Iraqi people never had a chance to participate in The Arab Spring and depose Saddam and his regime themselves, It may be a very different place today if they had had the chance to do so. Best regards to all, Latif Yahia .

Although researchers have long been aware that the species-typical architecture of the human mind is the product of our evolutionary history, it has only been in the last three decades that advances in such fields as evolutionary biology, cognitive psychology, and paleoanthropology have made the fact of our evolution illuminating. Converging findings from a variety of disciplines are leading to the emergence of a fundamentally new view of the human mind, and with it a new framework for the behavioral and social sciences. First, with the advent of the cognitive revolution, human nature can finally be defined precisely as the set of universal, species-typical information-processing programs that operate beneath the surface of expressed cultural variability. Second, this collection of cognitive programs evolved in the Pleistocene to solve the adaptive problems regularly faced by our hunter-gatherer ancestors--problems such as mate selection, language acquisition, cooperation, and sexual infidelity. Consequently, the traditional view of the mind as a general-purpose computer, tabula rasa, or passive recipient of culture is being replaced by the view that the mind resembles an intricate network of functionally specialized computers, each of which imposes contentful structure on human mental organization and culture. The Adapted Mind explores this new approach--evolutionary psychology--and its implications for a new view of culture.

Contemporary social problems typically involve many complex, interrelated dimensions--psychological, cultural, and institutional, among others. But today, the social sciences have fragmented into isolated disciplines lacking a common language, and analyses of social problems have polarized into approaches that focus on an individual's mental functioning over social settings, or vice versa. In Mind as Action, James V. Wertsch argues that current approaches to social issues have been blinded by the narrow confines of increasing specialization in the social sciences. In response to this conceptual blindness, he proposes a method of sociocultural analysis that connects the various perspectives of the social sciences in an integrated, nonreductive fashion. Wertsch maintains that we can use mediated action, which he defines as the irreducible tension between active agents and cultural tools, as a productive method of explicating the complicated relationships between human action and its manifold cultural, institutional, and historical contexts. Drawing on the ideas of Lev Vygotsky, Mikhail Bakhtin, and Kenneth Burke, as well as research from various fields, this book traces the implications of mediated action for a sociocultural analysis of the mind, as well as for some of today's most pressing social issues. Wertsch's investigation of forms of mediated action such as stereotypes and historical narratives provide valuable new insights into issues such as the mastery, appropriation, and resistance of culture. By providing an analytic unit that has the possibility of operating at the crossroads of various disciplines, Mind as Action will be important reading for academics, students, and researchers in psychology, linguistics, cognitive science, sociology, literary analysis, and philosophy.

Known for both its narrative style and scientific rigor, Principles of Behavior is the premier introduction to behavior analysis. Through an exploration of experimental, applied, and theoretical concepts, the authors summarize the key conversations in the field. They bring the content to life using humorous and engaging language and show students how the principles of behavior relate to their everyday lives. The text’s tried-and-true pedagogy make the content as clear as possible without oversimplifying the concepts. Each chapter includes study objectives, key terms, and review questions that encourage students to check their understanding before moving on, and incorporated throughout the text are real-world examples and case studies to illustrate key concepts and principles. This edition features some significant organizational changes: the respondent conditioning chapter is now Chapter 1, a general introduction to operant conditioning is now covered in Chapters 2 and 3, and the introduction to research methods is now covered in Chapter 4. These changes were made to help instructors prepare students for starting a research project at the beginning of the course. Two new chapters include Chapter 5 on the philosophy supporting behavior analysis, and Chapter 24 on verbal behavior that introduces B.F. Skinner’s approach and terminology. This edition also features a new full-color design and over 400 color figures, tables, and graphs. Principles of Behavior is an essential resource for both introductory and intermediate courses in behavior analysis. It is carefully tailored to the length of a standard academic semester and how behavior analysis courses are taught, with each section corresponding to a week’s worth of coursework. The text can also function as the first step in a student’s journey into becoming a professional behavior analyst at the BA, MA, or PhD/EdD level. Each chapter of the text is integrated with the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) task list, serving as an excellent primer to many of the BACB tasks. The text is supported by a set of PowerPoint slides with figures, tables, and graphs for every chapter and a robust test bank with multiple choice, fill in the blank, matching, and short answer questions for every chapter for a total of over 1,500 questions.

This book seeks to establish an interdisciplinary, applied social scientific model for researchers and students that advocates a cooperative effort between machines and people. After showing that basic research on social processes offers much needed guidance for those creating technology and designing tools for group work, its papers demonstrate the mutual relevance of social science and information system design, and encourage better integration of these disciplines. This comprehensive collection closely examines the variety of electronic tools being deployed to solve traditional problems in communication and coordination. Unfortunately, research shows that these tools have not been as successful as their designers had envisioned, partially because they were not always produced with the needs and goals of their human users in mind. The editors' goal is to entice more social scientists to orient their research around questions of practical interest to information system designers and to convince designers to search for the knowledge about social and organizational behavior that would make their tools more useful.

A groundbreaking approach to transforming traumatic legacies passed down in families over generations, by an acclaimed expert in the field Depression. Anxiety. Chronic Pain. Phobias. Obsessive thoughts. The evidence is compelling: the roots of these difficulties may not reside in our immediate life experience or in chemical imbalances in our brains—but in the lives of our parents, grandparents, and even great-grandparents. The latest scientific research, now making headlines, supports what many have long intuited—that traumatic experience can be passed down through generations. It Didn’t Start with You builds on the work of leading experts in post-traumatic stress, including Mount Sinai School of Medicine neuroscientist Rachel Yehuda and psychiatrist Bessel van der Kolk, author of The Body Keeps the Score. Even if the person who suffered the original trauma has died, or the story has been forgotten or silenced, memory and feelings can live on. These emotional legacies are often hidden, encoded in everything from gene expression to everyday language, and they play a far greater role in our emotional and physical health than has ever before been understood. As a pioneer in the field of inherited family trauma, Mark Wolynn has worked with individuals and groups on a therapeutic level for over twenty years. It Didn’t Start with You offers a pragmatic and prescriptive guide to his method, the Core Language Approach. Diagnostic self-inventories provide a way to uncover the fears and anxieties conveyed through everyday words, behaviors, and physical symptoms. Techniques for developing a genogram or extended family tree create a map of experiences going back through the generations. And visualization, active imagination, and direct dialogue create pathways to reconnection, integration, and reclaiming life and health. It Didn’t Start With You is a transformative approach to resolving longstanding difficulties that in many cases, traditional therapy, drugs, or other interventions have not had the capacity to touch.

Nos han enseñado a creer que tenemos una única identidad y a sentir miedo o vergüenza cuando no podemos controlar las voces internas que no coinciden con el ideal de lo que creemos que deberíamos ser. Sin embargo, las investigaciones del Dr. Richard Schwartz ponen en entredicho esta teoría de la «mente única». «Todos nacemos con muchas submentes o partes» dice el Dr. Schwartz. «Estas partes no son imaginarias o simbólicas. Son individuos que existen como una familia interna dentro de nosotros, y la clave de la salud y la felicidad es honrar, comprender y amar cada parte.» Con No hay partes malas, aprenderás por qué la terapia IFS ha sido tan eficaz en áreas como el trauma, las adicciones y la depresión, y cómo esta nueva comprensión de la conciencia tiene el potencial de cambiar radicalmente nuestras vidas. Elogios dedicados a No hay partes malas «Un regalo colosal: transformador, compasivo y sabio. Estas enseñanzas sencillas y magníficas te abrirán la mente y te liberarán el espíritu y el corazón». JACK KORNFIELD, PHD autor de A Path with Heart «La terapia de sistemas de familia interna (IFS), y el conocimiento de que todos albergamos partes valiosas, que se ven obligadas a adoptar roles extremos para lidiar con el dolor y la decepción, ha sido uno de los grandes progresos en la terapia del trauma. Comprender el papel que han desempeñado en nuestra supervivencia y ser capaces de soltar los traumas originales lleva a la autocompasión y a la armonía interior. Saber que todas nuestras partes son bienvenidas es absolutamente revolucionario y abre una vía a la autoaceptación y el autoliderazgo. La IFS es una de las piedras angulares de una terapia del trauma eficaz y duradera». BESSEL VAN DER KOLK, MD autor de El cuerpo lleva la cuenta «En esta obra minuciosa y de lectura muy agradable, el doctor Richard Schwartz articula e ilustra hábilmente su modelo de sistemas de familia interna, una de las terapias más innovadoras, intuitivas, exhaustivas y transformadoras que han surgido este siglo».

Éric Laurent hace resonar con fuerza la voz del psicoanálisis como vehículo para ir más allá de la medicalización sistemática que interesa a las grandes farmacéuticas y del creciente mercado de las psicoterapias, en el que se corre el peligro de despojar a las personas de sus cualidades singulares para considerarlas desde una perspectiva uniformizada. La Organización Mundial de la Salud no deja de insistir en que una de cada cuatro personas padece trastornos psíquicos o psiquiátricos serios a lo largo de su vida, y en que las depresiones están convirtiéndose en la enfermedad más notable del siglo XXI, equiparable al infarto de miocardio. Durante años, la ciencia se volcó masivamente en recetar medicamentos como la gran solución para tratar los trastornos mentales. Por fortuna, hoy ya se ha constatado oficialmente que las psicoterapias ofrecen un apoyo más que adecuado para equilibrar la simple prescripción de fármacos.

El objetivo de este libro es situar el concepto "deseo del psicoanalista" en el marco que creemos es central para el ejercicio mismo del psicoanálisis: el marco del debate acerca de la determinación y la libertad. A nuestro entender, si el psicoanálisis no abre para cada sujeto hablante la posibilidad de ese "poco de libertad" como la denomina Lacan, su ejercicio deviene una mera estafa. Establecer las coordenadas de este debate implica tomar en cuenta el carácter central, subversivo incluso, del deseo como deseo del Otro en la enseñanza de Lacan.

1914 में, सिगमंड फ्रायड ने पहली बार एक विकार के विचार की शुरुआत की, लेकिन उस अवधारणा को लगभग 50 साल पहले तक आधिकारिक नहीं बनाया गया था। अब, narcissism सोशल मीडिया, ब्लॉग और ऑनलाइन क्विज़ पर एक लोकप्रिय चर्चा है। लेकिन अहंकार वास्तव में क्या है और आप कैसे जानते हैं कि आप किसी के साथ रिश्ते में हैं? इससे भी महत्वपूर्ण बात यह है कि अगर आपको पता चलता है कि आप एक narcissist से जुड़े हैं, तो क्या खतरे हैं, आप अपनी रक्षा कैसे करते हैं, और आप कैसे बचते हैं? किसी व्यक्ति में narcissistic लक्षण प्रदर्शित करने वाले और वास्तविक NPD या Narcissistic व्यक्तित्व विकार से पीड़ित व्यक्ति के बीच बहुत बड़ा अंतर है। इसके अलावा, अन्य विकार एनपीडी के समान लग सकते हैं। हम आपको दिखाएंगे कि क्या देखना है ताकि आप अंतर बता सकें। Narcissism में: Narcissistic व्यक्तित्व विकार को समझना, हम यह पता लगाएंगे कि कैसे एक narcissist बन जाता है, और उस व्यक्ति के साथ क्या होता है जो अचानक उन्हें सहानुभूति से लूटता है-एक विशेषता जो सीधे हमारी मानवता से जुड़ी होती है। हम मादक द्रव्य की विभिन्न श्रेणियों को उजागर करेंगे, हल्के और आम तौर पर हानिरहित से लेकर चरम, घातक प्रकार तक—जिससे आप विशेष रूप से एक बड़ी दूरी बनाए रखना चाहते हैं। यह पुस्तक उन लोगों के लिए विशेष रूप से सहायक हो सकती है जो पहले से ही एक narcissist के साथ रिश्ते में हैं, क्योंकि यदि आप या आपके कोई जानने वाले हैं, तो यह निर्धारित करना मुश्किल हो सकता है कि वास्तविक क्या है और विनाशकारी मनोवैज्ञानिक और भावनात्मक दुर्व्यवहार के क्षण के बाद पल-पल गढ़ा गया है! हम यह भी कवर करेंगे कि क्या करना है और कैसे एक narcissist दीर्घकालिक से निपटने की बहुत मुश्किल प्रक्रिया को नेविगेट करना है, पूर्व पति के साथ माता-पिता के लिए, narcissists के वयस्क बच्चों के लिए, या जिनके परिवार में एक narcissist है। आप अपने आप को या किसी प्रियजन को एक narcissist के शिकार होने से कैसे बचा सकते हैं? नार्सिसिज़्म: नार्सिसिस्टिक पर्सनालिटी डिसऑर्डर को समझना आपको आत्मकेंद्रित, भावनात्मक शोषण के विनाशकारी परिणामों से बचने के लिए आवश्यक ज्ञान प्राप्त करने में मदद कर सकता है। आप सीखेंगे कि यह निर्धारित करने के लिए क्या देखना है कि क्या कोई वास्तव में एक संकीर्णतावादी है। इससे पहले कि वे मुड़ें और व्यवस्थित रूप से आपको, आपके अहंकार, आत्मविश्वास और सभी को तोड़ दें, और सबसे महत्वपूर्ण बात यह है कि आप सीखेंगे कि कैसे एक narcissist की शक्ति से बचने और उपचार शुरू करने के लिए आप सीखेंगे। बेहतर जीवन की दिशा में प्रक्रिया, पुनर्निर्माण, पुनः सीखने और अपनी ताकत, विवेक और स्वयं की भावना को बहाल करने के लिए उपकरणों और समर्थन का उपयोग करना। विभिन्न प्रकार और उप-प्रकार की संकीर्णता के बीच अंतर को समझें, जिनमें से सबसे खतरनाक हैं। एक आसन्न जहरीले रिश्ते के लाल झंडों को पहचानना सीखें और कैसे एक संकीर्णतावादी आपको अपने झूठ के जाल में खींचने के लिए कुछ भी करेगा। आत्मकेंद्रित परिवारों और बच्चों पर उनके प्रभावों के साथ-साथ बच्चे बाद में जीवन में दुर्व्यवहार से कैसे निपट सकते हैं, इस पर करीब से नज़र डालें। अपनी वास्तविकता और अपनी विवेक के साथ भावनात्मक रूप से अपमानजनक रिश्ते को नेविगेट करना सीखें, जब तक कि आपके पास इससे बचने का मौका न हो। एक संकीर्णतावादी कैसे सोचता है और कैसे काम करता है, इस पर एक आंतरिक नज़र डालें। एक स्वस्थ रिश्ते और संभावित रूप से जहरीले रिश्ते के बीच अंतर को समझें। अन्य व्यक्तित्व विकारों और संकीर्णतावाद के बीच के अंतरों को जानें, और आत्मसंतुष्टता आमतौर पर स्थायी होने पर किसी को कैसे उगाया जा सकता है।

Cuốn sách giúp bạn thấu hiểu bản thân mình và tâm lý những người xung quanh! Được chấp bút bởi bậc thầy tâm lý hàng đầu Trung Quốc Khương Nguy. Tâm lý học theo chủ nghĩa hành vi phát triển đến đỉnh cao vào những năm 1920 của thế kỷ XX tại Mỹ, giữ vị trí chủ đạo trong lĩnh vực tâm lý học trong suốt ba mươi năm sau đó tại đất nước này. Không chỉ là một bộ môn khoa học trong phòng thực nghiệm, mà quan trọng hơn, những lý luận của tâm lý học hành vi giúp con người tự nhìn nhận bản thân, tự điều chỉnh tâm lý, đồng thời thông qua hành vi để nắm bắt và thấu hiểu tâm lý, đồng thời thông qua hành vi để nắm bắt và thấu hiểu tâm lý của những người xung quanh. Hành vi chính là tấm gương phản chiếu tâm lý của con người, qua đó, chúng ta tự soi chiếu bản thân, học cách chung sống hòa thuận với chính mình, bên cạnh đó cũng có thể hiểu rõ người khác và thiết lập mối quan hệ tốt đẹp trong xã hội. Khi mỗi người trong chúng ta đều học được cách trực tiếp đối diện với bản chất thật sự trong tâm hồn, vậy việc trở thành người thầy cho chính mình cũng không còn là mơ ước xa vời nữa. *** Tâm lý học hành vi của Watson có thể coi là một đòn chí mạng, lật đổ những quan điểm tâm lý học truyền thống thời bấy giờ. Mặc dù đời sống cá nhân của ông gây ra nhiều tranh cãi, nhưng không thể phủ nhận sự thật rằng ông đã đạt được những thành tựu mang tính khai phá, góp phần thúc đẩy tâm lý học phát triển lên một tầm cao mới. Nếu trường phái tâm lý học theo chủ nghĩa chức năng lấy ý thức làm đối tượng nghiên cứu, thì tâm lý học hành vi lại hướng mục tiêu nghiên cứu vào hành vi của con người, từ đó bù đắp những điểm chưa thỏa đáng trong lý luận của các trường phái tâm lý học đi trước, điển hình là việc chỉ đơn thuần chú trọng vào ý thức bên trong mà thiếu tính thực tiễn để áp dụng vào đời sống. Tâm lý học hành vi đã đưa tâm lý học từ thế giới chủ quan sang thế giới khách quan, nhấn mạnh sức ảnh hưởng lớn của hoàn cảnh bên ngoài đối với con người, và khẳng định những kết quả chúng ta gặt hái được trong tương lai đều bắt nguồn từ rất nhiều thói quen của ngày hôm nay. Những lý luận về tâm lý học hành vi của Watson góp phần thúc đẩy ngành tâm lý học trở thành một ngành khoa học tự nhiên chính thống, đồng thời có tầm ảnh hưởng lan tỏa suốt hơn nửa thế kỷ. Đó chính xác là những lý luận đi đầu trong ngành tâm lý học đương thời. Tâm lý học hành vi có nhiều phát hiện mang tính đột phá, bao gồm cả một số quan điểm mở rộng trên phương diện giáo dục trẻ nhỏ. Tuy vẫn tồn tại một số hạn chế không tránh khỏi và lý luận về mối liên hệ “kích thích - phản ứng” còn mang tính phiến diện, nhưng xét trên một mức độ nào đó, tâm lý học hành vi vẫn khiến trường phái tâm lý học nghiên cứu về ý thức gặp phải trở ngại nhất định. Đương nhiên, cùng với việc xã hội ngày càng văn minh tân tiến, tâm lý học hành vi rồi cũng phải đối mặt với vấn đề về sự chuyển giao giữa cũ và mới. Nhưng kể cả vậy, chúng ta vẫn không thể phủ nhận những cống hiến của nó cho sự phát triển ngành tâm lý học nói chung, và dù thế nào thì ở nó vẫn luôn có những điều mà chúng ta có thể soi chiếu và học tập. Cuốn sách này tổng hợp những lý luận về tâm lý học hành vi của Watson, cố gắng gửi đến độc giả hệ thống tư tưởng một cách hoàn chỉnh nhất, nêu lên những điểm then chốt trong luận thuyết của ông, đồng thời liên hệ với cuộc sống thực tiễn để nghiệm chứng tính hợp lý trong đó. Sau mỗi phần, chúng tôi đều tổng hợp lại những phương thức có tính ứng dụng thực tiễn để bạn đọc hiểu rõ tâm lý thông qua hành vi của con người. Để độc giả không cảm thấy khó hiểu và nhàm chán bởi những thuật ngữ mang tính học thuật khô khan, chúng tôi cố gắng sử dụng cách nói gần gũi và dễ hiểu nhất có thể, hy vọng cùng với việc lan tỏa kiến thức mang tính hàn lâm thì ngôn từ mang tính phổ thông sẽ giúp các bạn thưởng thức cuốn sách một cách thoải mái nhất. Nếu qua đây độc giả tìm thấy sự chỉ dẫn và trợ giúp có ích trong đời sống, vậy cuốn sách này cũng coi như hoàn thành trọn vẹn nhiệm vụ của nó rồi. Cuốn sách này không tránh khỏi nhiều thiếu sót, kính mong quý độc giả thông cảm và góp ý. *** Mời các bạn đón đọc Tâm Lý Học Hành Vi của tác giả Khương Nguy & Phi Tường (dịch).

“A blistering and truly original work of reporting and analysis, uncovering America’s role in homogenizing how the world defines wellness and healing” (Po Bronson). In Crazy Like Us, Ethan Watters reveals that the most devastating consequence of the spread of American culture has not been our golden arches or our bomb craters but our bulldozing of the human psyche itself: We are in the process of homogenizing the way the world goes mad. It is well known that American culture is a dominant force at home and abroad; our exportation of everything from movies to junk food is a well-documented phenomenon. But is it possible America's most troubling impact on the globalizing world has yet to be accounted for? American-style depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and anorexia have begun to spread around the world like contagions, and the virus is us. Traveling from Hong Kong to Sri Lanka to Zanzibar to Japan, acclaimed journalist Ethan Watters witnesses firsthand how Western healers often steamroll indigenous expressions of mental health and madness and replace them with our own. In teaching the rest of the world to think like us, we have been homogenizing the way the world goes mad.

For readers of Fantasyland and Cultish, a colorful and enlightening pop history that explains why the eccentric doomsday beliefs of our Puritan founders are still driving American culture today, contextualizes the current rise in far-right extremism as a natural result of our latent indoctrination, and proposes that the United States is the largest cult of all. Since the Mayflower sidled up to Plymouth Rock, cult ideology has been ingrained in the DNA of the United States. In this eye-opening book, journalist Jane Borden argues that Puritan doomsday belief never went away; it went secular and became American culture. From our fascination with cowboys and superheroes to our allegiance to influencers and self-help, susceptibility to advertising, and undying devotion to the self-made man, Americans remain particularly vulnerable to a specific brand of cult-like thinking. With in-depth research and compelling insight, Borden uncovers the American history you didn’t learn in school, including how we are still being brainwashed, making us a nation of easy marks for con artists and strong men. Along the way, she also revisits some of the most fascinating cults in this country—including, the Mankind United and Love Has Won—presenting them as integral parts of our national psyche rather than aberrations.

Winner of the Autism Society of America’s Dr. Temple Grandin Award for the Outstanding Literary Work in Autism A groundbreaking book on autism, by one of the world’s leading experts, who portrays autism as a unique way of being human—this is “required reading...Breathtakingly simple and profoundly positive” (Chicago Tribune). Autism therapy typically focuses on ridding individuals of “autistic” symptoms such as difficulties interacting socially, communication problems, sensory challenges, and repetitive behavior patterns. Now, this updated and expanded edition of Dr. Barry M. Prizant’s Uniquely Human tackles new language such as shifting from “person-first language” to “identity-first language,” diversity of identity in the autism sphere, and the future of autistic advocacy by amplifying the voices of autistic and neurodivergent individuals. “A must-read for anyone touched by autism…Dr. Prizant’s Uniquely Human is a crucial step in promoting better understanding and a more humane approach” (Associated Press). Instead of classifying “autistic” behaviors as signs of pathology, Dr. Prizant sees them as part of a range of strategies to cope with a world that feels chaotic and overwhelming. Rather than curb these behaviors, it’s better to enhance abilities, build on strengths, and offer supports that will lead to more desirable behavior and a better quality of life. Uniquely Human is a “brilliant” (Steve Silberman, author of NeuroTribes) approach to autism in the modern age that provides “common sense [and] practical advice” (Temple Grandin, author of The Autistic Brain) drawn from Dr. Prizant’s four-decade career. It conveys a deep respect for people with autism and their own unique qualities. Filled with humanity and wisdom, Uniquely Human “should reassure parents and caregivers of kids with autism and any other disability that their kids are not broken, but, indeed, special (Booklist, starred review).

Em edição revista e ampliada, História da Psicologia representa uma das mais importantes contribuições coletivas produzidas em nosso país no domínio da psicologia, mobilizando mais de trinta autores altamente qualificados em suas áreas de especialização. Diferencia-se de outros livros com propostas semelhantes por três características de extrema relevância: 1) não considera o desenvolvimento da psicologia apenas pela linhagem norte-americana, tendo em consideração aspectos relevantes da psicologia européia (alemã, inglesa, francesa, suíça e russa); 2) não toma como ponto de partida sua fundação no laboratório de Leipzig por Wundt, mostrando uma sólida psicologia no século XVIII; 3) aponta para aspectos decisivos de cada desdobramento histórico da psicologia também em solo brasileiro, desde o período colonial. Além disso, o livro apresenta também temas pouquíssimas vezes abordados – porque não considerados como parte do campo disciplinar – em livros de história da psicologia, tais como: o pensamento das Escolas de Chicago e Frankfurt, a Psicologia marxista, as abordagens sobre as massas, etc. Por esta sua proposta de apresentar a concepção de Psicologia que circula nos corredores universitários, mas não têm correspondência em livros acessíveis aos alunos, este livro é altamente recomendado para estudantes do curso de psicologia, assim como para todos aqueles que se interessam pelos caminhos tortuosos seguidos por este campo do saber.

A “wonderfully innovative” (Jennifer Senior, New York Times bestseller All Joy and No Fun), much-needed guide for parents of people in their twenties and thirties from one of the world’s leading developmental psychologists. Your child is now an adult, but your job as a parent is far from over. Instead, your role must evolve to meet their ongoing, changing needs. But what exactly are these new needs? And why are they so different now than they were when you were a young adult? This is the first comprehensive guide written for parents whose children are in two of the most crucial decades of life. Steinberg discusses topics as various as whether you should be involved in your child’s college education, how to behave when they unexpectedly must move back home, how to state your opinion on their romantic partners, what to do when you disagree with the way they are raising their own child, and what parameters to apply if you want to give them money for a home or startup. He answers such challenging questions as: When do I express my opinion and when should I bite my tongue? How do I know if my son is floundering? Is it okay to help my daughter with her grad school application? What should I do if my kid is getting seriously involved with someone I think is dangerous? We have been helping our twenty-five-year-old financially for the last few years, but how long is too long? How can I help my adult child through a difficult psychological time? Leading psychologist Laurence Steinberg has devoted his forty-five-year career to researching parent-child relationships. Here, he provides some “must-read” (Martin Seligman, PhD, author of The Hope Circuit) principles to help parents with adult children think more intelligently about common issues, avoid minefields, weather the inevitable ups and downs, and create a stronger, happier, more effective bond with their child.

Summarizing and integrating the major empirical research of the past twenty years, this volume presents a thorough review of the subject, with a special focus on what sets people with low self-esteem apart from others. As the subject is central to the understanding of personality, mental health, and social adjustment, this work will be appreciated by professionals and advanced students in the fields of personality, social, clinical, and organizational psychology.

Many mental health practitioners present symptoms that are consistent with their clients' anxiety and stress-related disorders. It comes as no surprise, then, that "counselor impairment" - the stress that comes from treating survivors of traumatic events - is now officially recognized by the American Counseling Associations' Task Force on Counselor Wellness. "Empathy Fatigue" is a term coined by the author after his own experience serving on the crisis response team for the Westside Middle School shootings in Jonesboro, Arkansas. Remarkably, symptoms of empathy fatigue are evident amongst a broad range of professionals: those who treat victims of stressful and traumatic events; those who treat persons with abuse, mood, anxiety, and stress-related disorders; as well as those who work in career and vocational settings or with people with mental and physical disabilities. This guide is also meant for all these groups. This book provides a repertoire of strategies, techniques, and insight designed to increase personal resiliency and decrease counselor burnout and fatigue: Self-assessment approaches, with an in-depth analysis of empathy fatigue and an explanation of this phenomenon from a mind, body, and spiritual perspective. Detailed case studies and suggested questions for self-assessments and self-care. A variety of self-care approaches, providing guidelines to counselors and clinicians to identify their own emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion. .

A national bestseller, Authentic Happiness launched the revolutionary new science of Positive Psychology—and sparked a coast-to-coast debate on the nature of real happiness. According to esteemed psychologist and bestselling author Martin Seligman, happiness is not the result of good genes or luck. Real, lasting happiness comes from focusing on one’s personal strengths rather than weaknesses—and working with them to improve all aspects of one’s life. Using practical exercises, brief tests, and a dynamic website program, Seligman shows readers how to identify their highest virtues and use them in ways they haven’t yet considered. Accessible and proven, Authentic Happiness is the most powerful work of popular psychology in years.

AUDIBLE EDITOR'S PICK A paradigm-shifting study of neurodivergent women—those with ADHD, autism, synesthesia, high sensitivity, and sensory processing disorder—exploring why these traits are overlooked in women and how society benefits from allowing their unique strengths to flourish. As a successful Harvard and Berkeley-educated writer, entrepreneur, and devoted mother, Jenara Nerenberg was shocked to discover that her “symptoms”--only ever labeled as anxiety-- were considered autistic and ADHD. Being a journalist, she dove into the research and uncovered neurodiversity—a framework that moves away from pathologizing “abnormal” versus “normal” brains and instead recognizes the vast diversity of our mental makeups. When it comes to women, sensory processing differences are often overlooked, masked, or mistaken for something else entirely. Between a flawed system that focuses on diagnosing younger, male populations, and the fact that girls are conditioned from a young age to blend in and conform to gender expectations, women often don’t learn about their neurological differences until they are adults, if at all. As a result, potentially millions live with undiagnosed or misdiagnosed neurodivergences, and the misidentification leads to depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and shame. Meanwhile, we all miss out on the gifts their neurodivergent minds have to offer. Divergent Mind is a long-overdue, much-needed answer for women who have a deep sense that they are “different.” Sharing real stories from women with high sensitivity, ADHD, autism, misophonia, dyslexia, SPD and more, Nerenberg explores how these brain variances present differently in women and dispels widely-held misconceptions (for example, it’s not that autistic people lack sensitivity and empathy, they have an overwhelming excess of it). Nerenberg also offers us a path forward, describing practical changes in how we communicate, how we design our surroundings, and how we can better support divergent minds. When we allow our wide variety of brain makeups to flourish, we create a better tomorrow for us all.

¿TE HAS PREGUNTADO CUÁNTAS COSAS HAS DEJADO DE HACER POR MIEDO A LO QUE PIENSEN LOS DEMÁS? ¿EN QUÉ MOMENTO EMPEZASTE A COMPLACER A OTROS Y TE OLVIDASTE DE TI? ¿TE SIENTES AGOTADO INTENTANDO AGRADAR A TODO EL MUNDO?

Si hemos buscado complacer y agradar por encima de los propios intereses, vivimos la vida que se espera que vivamos, cumpliendo expectativas ajenas». @mariademondo

In Getting Medieval Carolyn Dinshaw examines communities—dissident and orthodox—in late-fourteenth and early-fifteenth-century England to create a new sense of queer history. Reaching beyond both medieval and queer studies, Dinshaw demonstrates in this challenging work how intellectual inquiry into pre-modern societies can contribute invaluably to current issues in cultural studies. In the process, she makes important connections between past and present cultures that until now have not been realized. In her pursuit of historical analyses that embrace the heterogeneity and indeterminacy of sex and sexuality, Dinshaw examines canonical Middle English texts such as the Canterbury Tales and The Book of Margery Kempe. She examines polemics around the religious dissidents known as the Lollards as well as accounts of prostitutes in London to address questions of how particular sexual practices and identifications were normalized while others were proscribed. By exploring contemporary (mis)appropriations of medieval tropes in texts ranging from Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction to recent Congressional debates on U.S. cultural production, Dinshaw demonstrates how such modern media can serve to reinforce constrictive heteronormative values and deny the multifarious nature of history. Finally, she works with and against the theories of Michel Foucault, Homi K. Bhabha, Roland Barthes, and John Boswell to show how deconstructionist impulses as well as historical perspectives can further an understanding of community in both pre- and postmodern societies. This long-anticipated volume will be indispensible to medieval and queer scholars and will be welcomed by a larger cultural studies audience.

El presente libro es fruto de un extenso trabajo que plasma la concepción de una idea innovadora: la prevención integral de los desórdenes alimentarios desde una perspectiva pedagógica, basándose en la educación en valores y la coeducación. En el escrito se aúnan los conocimientos científicos más actuales en torno a los citados trastornos, y se plantea una acción preventiva en algunos de los ámbitos educativos más importantes, como son la escuela y la familia. Este libro constituye en sí un auténtico programa de educación en valores, ya que ofrece tanto contenidos procedimentales como conceptuales -imprescindibles para entender la multicausalidad que se da en los trastornos del comportamiento alimentario-, y orientaciones actitudinales para ayudar a prevenir los desórdenes alimentarios. Contiene aclaraciones conceptuales sobre estas enfermedades; actividades para trabajar en el aula, tanto en Educación Infantil, como en Primaria, Secundaria y Post-Obligatoria; orientaciones para las familias sobre cómo prevenir estos trastornos y qué hacer cuando se sospecha que una persona cercana pueda sufrir alguna de estas enfermedades que constituyen una auténtica pandemia en nuestra sociedad actual.

The incredibly moving and inspiring story about a quest to finally be heard. In Underestimated: An Autism Miracle, Generation Rescue’s cofounder J.B. Handley and his teenage son Jamison tell the remarkable story of Jamison’s journey to find a method of communication that allowed him to show the world that he was a brilliant, wise, generous, and complex individual who had been misunderstood and underestimated by everyone in his life. Jamison’s emergence at the age of seventeen from his self-described “prison of silence” took place over a profoundly emotional and dramatic twelve-month period that is retold from his father’s perspective. The book reads like a spy thriller while allowing the reader to share in the complex emotions of both exhilaration and anguish that accompany Jamison’s journey for him and his family. Once Jamison’s extraordinary story has been told, Jamison takes over the narrative to share the story from his perspective, allowing the world to hear from someone who many had dismissed and cast aside as incapable. Jamison’s remarkable transformation challenges the conventional wisdom surrounding autism, a disability impacting 1 in 36 Americans. Many scientists still consider nonspeakers with autism—a full 40 percent of those on the autism spectrum—to be “mentally retarded.” Is it possible that the experts are wrong about several million people? Are all the nonspeakers like Jamison? Underestimated: An Autism Miracle will touch your heart, inspire you, remind you of the power of love, and ultimately leave you asking tough questions about how many more Jamisons might be waiting for their chance to be freed from their prison of silence, too. And, for the millions of parents of children with autism, the book offers a detailed description of a communication method that may give millions of people with autism back their voice.

Depression and Narrative examines stories of depression in the context of recent scholarship on illness and narrative, which up to this point has largely focused on physical illness and disability. Contributors from a number of disciplinary perspectives address these narrative accounts of depression, by both sufferers and those who treat them, as they appear in memoirs, diaries, novels, poems, oral interviews, fact sheets, blogs, films, and television shows. Together, they explore the stories we tell about depression: its contested causes; its gendering; the transformations in identity that it entails; and the problems it presents for communication, associated as it is with stigma and shame. Unlike certain physical illnesses, such as cancer, depression is stigmatized—sometimes as a nonproblem (the sufferer should "snap out of it") and sometimes as the slippery slope to madness. Thus, depression narratives have their work cut out for them. This book highlights the work these stories do, including bringing meaning to sufferers, explaining depression, justifying therapies and treatments, and reducing the burden of shame—accounting for a suffering that is, in the end, unaccountable.

Neuropsicología en Colombia. Datos normativos, estado actual y retos a futuro es fruto del esfuerzo de un grupo de profesionales que, a lo largo de su formación académica y del ejercicio de su profesión, han sido conscientes del trabajo que es necesario realizar para avanzar en el desarrollo de la neuropsicología en los países latinoamericanos y, en concreto, en Colombia. Nace de un ejercicio de reflexión y crítica constructiva de las carencias y necesidades que aún tiene nuestra profesión y que, en cierta medida, limitan el servicio que deseamos ofrecer a las personas con las que trabajamos. La segunda edición incluye datos normativos generados a partir de modelos de regresiones múltiples y de un conjunto de métodos modernos que permite mayor precisión de la estimación percentil en la puntuación de una prueba neuropsicológica. Abarca tres grandes aspectos: 1) la situación actual de la neuropsicología en Colombia; 2) datos normativos de pruebas neuropsicológicas para la población adulta colombiana; y 3) las prácticas éticas en el ejercicio de la neuropsicología en Colombia. Bienvenida esta obra que señala perspectivas claras sobre el rumbo del quehacer en neuropsicología en nuestro país y consolida necesidades relacionadas con aclarar, unificar, formalizar y normativizar aspectos relacionados con la formación, el entrenamiento y el ejercicio profesional del neuropsicólogo. Este trabajo se constituye en una invitación al desarrollo de nuevos convenios y trabajos de investigación multicéntricos, en los que se continúe el proceso con las pruebas empleadas para la evaluación neuropsicológica de población colombiana.

Riess ha escrito una obra fundamental sobre la empatía, que incluye cuestiones como la ciencia que hay detrás de este asunto, investigaciones actualizadas sobre cómo se desarrolla la empatía desde el nacimiento a la edad adulta, y herramientas para construir conexiones emocionales auténticas con los demás en cualquier contexto. La Dra. Riess se ha convertido en una de las principales investigadoras sobre la empatía, creando un rompedor itinerario de formación que se emplea internacionalmente en el ámbito de la salud, los negocios y la enseñanza.

"I øjeblikket eksisterer der utvivlsomt en fejl i dannelsen af mennesket. Der er en mangel på kendskab til lovene for menneskets åndelige udvikling og til hygiejnen vedrørende dets indre liv. Højst sandsynligt er en forandring af menneskets omgivelse nødvendig, såsom hjælp til udviklingen og til normalt arbejde af dets nervøse og fysiske liv, så ’civilisation’ og ’fred’ kan regere verden." Den italienske læge og pædagog Maria Montessori beskriver sin banebrydende pædagogiske metode, der i starten af det tyvende århundrede ændrede det vestlige syn på pædagogik og indlæring fuldstændigt. Bogen beskriver hendes arbejde med udviklingshæmmede børn og den enorme udvikling, de gennemgik, når blot man tilrettelagde deres uddannelsesforløb pædagogisk og hensigtsmæssigt med udgangspunkt i det enkelte barn. Bogen udkom første gang i 1917 og er blevet oversat til et væld af fremmedsprog i takt med at Montessori Metoden vandt mere og mere fremgang verden over. Maria Montessori (1870-1952) var en italiensk læge, pædagog, debattør og forfatter. Hun er kendt over hele verden for sine nyskabende pædagogiske tanker, som har dannet grundlag for moderne vestlig pædagogik. I mange lande er der sågar specielle Montessori-børnehaver og skoler, hvor man kan uddanne sig til pædagog med speciale i Montessori Metoden.

Este trabalho tem como finalidade ser um diálogo respeitoso com aqueles que defendem as crenças das Testemunhas de Jeová. Da mesma forma que elas vêm às nossas portas para expor suas convicções de maneira respeitosa, esta publicação também o fará. Em modo de um diálogo entre pessoas com nomes fictícios, apresentaremos o ponto principal das crenças das Testemunhas e o modo de combatê-las usando a Bíblia – instrumento pelo qual as próprias Testemunhas de Jeová creem e lutam pelas suas convicções. Com perguntas intrigantes e respostas abalizadas nas Escrituras, esta publicação fará o possível para desmontar um falso raciocínio e construir um verdadeiro pensamento em uma base sólida. Serão divididos por assuntos e doutrinas, e em cada diálogo trataremos sobre um ensino. O livro de estudo usado pelas Testemunhas de Jeová, intitulado “O que a Bíblia realmente ensina?” será a base para analisarmos as doutrinas centrais desta denominação. João Marcos – um ministro evangelizador habilitado entre as Testemunhas publicadoras e Pedro – um cristão dedicado às Escrituras; serão as personagens principais, representados neste cenário de diálogo sobre ensinos bíblicos e não-bíblicos. Preste atenção como os pensamentos e raciocínios são desenvolvidos, pois o ajudará a entender como se está construído os ensinos das Testemunhas de Jeová. Acompanhe como João Marcos tentará usar seus argumentos tirados de publicações e de pensamentos circulares dentre as mentes das Testemunhas. Acompanhe em sua Bíblia a medida que Pedro for respondendo cada questão suscitada por João Marcos. Livre-se de conceitos já estabelecidos e viva o diálogo de todas as personagens. A medida que for se familiarizando com os argumentos convincentes de Pedro, entenderá qual é a verdadeira base da crença das Testemunhas de Jeová. Verá que a Bíblia, para elas, nada mais é do que simplesmente um detalhe para apoiar suas doutrinas, onde texto é colocado fora do contexto e se torna um pretexto para um ensino errôneo. Durante a narrativa, serão expostos cenas dramáticas e de ação nas vidas de João Marcos, Pedro e outros, mostrando como é a vida de uma Testemunha de Jeová e suas atividades religiosas. Muito se fala sobre Testemunhas de Jeová e a Torre de Vigia, porém nada melhor do que ex-Testemunhas de Jeová contarem tudo o que se passa nos bastidores da denominação. Com as mentes bem abertas, Bíblia na mão e pensamentos voltados à narrativa, se prepare para acompanhar o caminho de João Marcos até o serviço de campo – trabalho de pregação de casa em casa. Onde ele encontrará Pedro que se tornará um condutor ao que às Escrituras realmente dizem. João Marcos; Pedro; duas pessoas com pensamentos e convicções tão distintas, mas que se encontrarão para detalhar a doutrina mais coerente! Para aqueles que lerão esta publicação, permitam que ao adentrar na narrativa você possa colocar-se no lugar de João Marcos e de Pedro e avaliar as explicações dadas por ambos. Este é o primeiro volume que tratará sobre “O que a Bíblia tem a nos ensina?” Aprecie cada página e seu conteúdo! No mais, que este escrito possa o ajudar a ver claramente o que a Bíblia ensina para nós, sem alterá-la ou tirá-la de seu contexto. Deus abençoe sua leitura e que seja de sobremodo deleitosa. Renan Roma.

¿Qué harías si pudieras utilizar todos tus recursos mentales? Suelo comenzar mis conferencias o seminarios sobre superaprendizaje con una pregunta: ¿Qué harías si pudieras utilizar todos tus recursos mentales? La mayoría no responde, ya que no sabe cómo manejar sus herramientas internas para potenciar su cerebro. Esa es la razón por la cual he escrito este libro. A lo largo de estas páginas se despejarán muchas dudas y se proporcionarán numerosos recursos que te facilitarán la posibilidad de aprender mucho más rápido y de manera infinitamente más eficaz. Aprendemos a diario, y ese proceso que debería ser divertido, para la mayoría de personas no lo es. Por desgracia son millones los seres humanos que tienen problemas de aprendizaje, y por culpa de este inconveniente no consiguen alcanzar sus metas, obtener un buen empleo o lograr el éxito financiero. Por eso decidí plasmar en esta obra mis conocimientos sobre el formación acelerada. De esta manera, si utilizas adecuadamente tus recursos para instruirte, sin duda serás mejor líder, empresario, jefe, empleado, pareja o padre. Un libro que te ayudará a sentar las bases de tu brillante futuro. El conocimiento es poder, y en estas páginas descubrirás la mejor manera de asimilarlo, retenerlo y multiplicarlo. EXTRACTO Aunque todas las personas tenemos los tres canales de comunicación, preferimos uno o dos para comunicarnos. Cada una de las modalidades tiene varias submodalidades, que son las variables que definen la diferencia en la información interna que procesamos cuando pensamos de forma visual, auditiva o kinestésica. Igual que el director de cine cambia la iluminación o el ángulo de su cámara, o nos hace escuchar una determinada música o ruidos dependiendo de los sentimientos que quiera despertar en nosotros, nuestra mente juega con diferentes cualidades a las que llamamos submodalidades. Así, el individuo con una preferencia por la modalidad visual crea imágenes, por eso es más receptivo a este tipo de estímulos y las submodalidades como el color, el tamaño, el brillo o la velocidad, apoyan a esta modalidad. El que utiliza más su modalidad auditiva, tendrá submodalidades como volumen o ritmo, mientras que el kinestésico poseerá sensaciones como movimiento y temperatura. EL AUTOR J. A. Guerrero Cañongo es uno de los mejores vendedores del mundo en Internet. Como empresario ha basado su éxito en las ventas producidas mediante esta plataforma. Actualmente dicta seminarios, cursos y conferencias en todo el mundo sobre cómo conseguir la Libertad Financiera. Además es autor de 35 libros publicados, la mayoría bestsellers.

In general, dual-process theories state that in cognitive systems, two sorts of processes can be differentiated: an affective, associative process and an analytical, rule-based process. This distinction recently entered the debate on the relationship between intuitive and rational approaches to explaining the phenomenon of moral judgment. The increasing interest in these theories raises questions concerning their general impact on social contexts. The anthology aims at presenting stepping-stones of an analysis of the merits and drawbacks of this development. For that purpose, the authors discuss general questions concerning the relationship between ethics and empirical sciences, methodological questions, reassessments of established terminology and societal implications of dual-process theories in moral psychology.

This open access book offers a multidisciplinary dialogue on relational anthropology in contemporary economics. A particular view of the human being is often assumed in economic models, but seldom acknowledged let alone explicated. Addressing this neglected area of research in economic studies, altogether the contributors touch upon the importance and potential of virtues, the notions of freedom and self-love, the potential of simulation models, the dialectics of love, and questions of methodology in constructing a relational anthropology for contemporary economics. The overall result is a highly informative and constructive dialogue, establishing inter alia a research agenda for future collaborative and multidisciplinary study.

This book explores how dementia acts as an existential threat, both to people diagnosed with the condition, and to their carers. The authors highlight how dementia not only gradually erodes our most fundamental abilities, but that it does so at a time of life when the resources of individuals, couples, and families are already stretched. While over time many people who are living with dementia are able to adapt to their diagnosis and acknowledge its impact on them, for many others it remains too threatening and painful to do this. The book draws on examples from clinical practice and experimental studies to argue that a range of responses, such as searching for long-dead parents or clinging to previous identities, all represent ways in which people living with dementia attempt to protect themselves against the emotional impact of the condition. Finally, the authors set out new ways of intervening to boost psychological resources and thereby support people in facing the existential threat of dementia.

Bridging the gaps between depth psychology, somatic psychology, spirituality, and energy-based mind-body practices, "Dreambody" is the foundational introduction to process-oriented psychology, by its founder Mindell, an MIT physicist and Jungian analyst.

This book assesses the construction of masculinities in relation to appearance, embodiment and emotions by drawing on perspectives in psychology, sociology, gender studies and public health. Brendan Gough questions conventional assumptions about masculinity and men’s health and responds to recent trends in critical studies of masculinities which discuss ‘positive’ or ‘healthy’ masculine identities. The book showcases discursively inflected qualitative research using data sources where men’s own accounts are prioritised: in-depth interviews and online discussion forums. Chapters discuss men’s appearance concerns and activities and examine male mental health, focusing on vulnerability and its management. Current trends and key concepts, including intersectionality, inequalities and embodiment are also considered throughout. This book will appeal to students and academics within social sciences and humanities interested in gender issues in general and masculinity in particular.

This book focuses on ageing as a topic of philosophical, theological, and historical anthropology. It provides a systematic inventory of fundamental theoretical questions and assumptions involved in the discussion of ageing and old age. What does it mean for human beings to grow old and become more vulnerable and dependent? How can we understand the manifestations of ageing and old age in the human body? How should we interpret the processes of change in the temporal course of a human life? What impact does old age have on the social dimensions of human existence? In order to tackle these questions, the volume brings together internationally distinguished scholars from the fields of philosophy, theology, cultural studies, social gerontology, and ageing studies. The collection of their original articles makes a twofold contribution to contemporary academic discourse. On one hand, it helps to clarify and deepen our understanding of ageing and old age by examining it from the fundamental point of view of philosophical, theological, and historical anthropology. At the same time, it also enhances and expands the discourses of philosophical, theological, and historical anthropology by systematically taking into account that human beings are essentially ageing creatures.

Introducing a new typology based on Power, Eros, Matter and Spirit as the motivations that define human attitudes and behaviour, the book outlines eight personality types based on the extraverted and introverted deployment of the four drives and applies these typological categories to Freud, Adler and Jung.

This unique reference surveys current theoretical and empirical advances in understanding individual differences in narcissistic personality, as well as the latest perspectives on controversies in the field. Wide-ranging expert coverage examines the many manifestations of narcissism, including grandiose, vulnerable, communal, and collective varieties. Narcissism’s etiology, the role of social media culture in its maintenance and amplification, and the complex phenomena of narcissistic leadership, spirituality, friendship, and love are just a snapshot of topics that are examined. The book’s section on intrapersonal processes delves into how the narcissistic mind works, as well as how narcissists feel about themselves and their peers. It also investigates narcissists’ grasp of emotions. Chapters explore associated personality traits and numerous other important correlates of narcissistic personality. New approaches to research, assessment methods, and opportunities for intervention—both immediate and long-term, are discussed throughout. In addition, trait narcissism is examined in an even-handed manner that incorporates state-of-the-art research into antecedents and consequences (both good and bad) of narcissistic personality. Among the topics in the Handbook: What separates narcissism from self-esteem? A social-cognitive perspective. The many measures of grandiose narcissism. Parents’ socialization of narcissism in children. What do narcissists know about themselves? Exploring the bright spots and blind spots of narcissists’ self-knowledge. Understanding and mitigating narcissists’ low empathy. Interpersonal functioning of narcissistic individuals and implications for treatment engagement. Offering nuanced analysis of a particularly timely subject, The Handbook of Trait Narcissism is fascinating and informative reading for psychologists and psychology students, as well as scholars in anthropology, sociology, economics, political scientists, and more.

In this book, educator-actor-playwright-director Elizabeth Hess offers systematic and original explorations in performance technique. This hybrid approach is a fusion of physical theater modalities culled from Western practices (Psycho-physical actions, Viewpoints) Eastern practices (Butoh, Kundalini yoga) and related performance disciplines (Mask, Puppetry). Behavioral, physiological and psychological ‘states of being’ are engaged to unlock impulses, access experience and enlarge the imagination. Through individual, partnered and collective explorations, actors uncover a character’s essence and level of consciousness, their energy center and body language, and their archetype and relationship to universal themes. Magic (to pretend, as if), Metaphor (to compare, as like) and Myth (to pattern after, as in) provide the foundation for generating transformative, empathetic and expansive artistic expression. Explorations can be adapted to character work, scene study and production, including original/devised work and established text, to illuminate singular and surprising work through collaborative creativity that is inventive, inclusive and alive.

This book uniquely integrates discourse analysis and corpus linguistics to examine representations of the self and other within lifestyle migration. With a focus on British migrants living in the Ariège, south-west France, the study identifies common positioning strategies to demonstrate links between wider themes and local identity construction. Drawing on positioning theory and related analytical tools, Lawson is the first to integrate a corpus of British media texts with online and face to face discourse. The book presents a detailed identification of ideologies relating to being British in France, and the linguistic analysis demonstrates how this value system is both taken up and habitually manipulated within local discourse as a resource for negotiating a particular kind of identity. Using social theory to underpin the analysis of positioning strategies in interaction, the book enhances our understanding of the complex possibilities within processes of self-identification in a migration context.

Engendering Emotions examines the production and promotion of the idea of sex/gender difference in emotional experience and expression in the contemporary West. Focusing on the psychology of emotions and on the spheres of aggression and war, and love, intimacy and sex, it explores how the idea of emotional difference serves to define and govern relations between men and women. The book draws on diverse theoretical work and recent empirical data to chart new territory in the study of sex/gender differences.

Returning to the much-neglected work of George Herbert Mead, this book defines the self and links it to identity and collective action.

This book reinvigorates the debate about the origins and development of police culture within our changing social, economic and political landscape. An in-depth analysis and appreciation of the police socialisation, identity and culture literature is combined with a comprehensive four-year longitudinal study of new recruits to a police force in England. The result offers new insights into the development of, and influences upon, new police recruits who refer to themselves as a “new breed” of police officer. Adding significantly to the police culture literature, this original and empirically based research also provides valuable insights into the challenges of modern policing in an age of austerity. Scholars of policing and criminal justice, as well as police officers themselves will find this compelling reading.

Philosophy of Race: An Introduction provides plainly written access to a new subfield that has been in the background of philosophy since Plato and Aristotle. Part I provides an overview of ideas of race and ethnicity in the philosophical canon, egalitarian traditions, race in biology, and race in American and Continental Philosophy. Part II addresses race as it operates in life through colonialism and development, social constructions and institutions, racism, political philosophy, and gender. This book constructs an outline that will serve as a resource for students, nonspecialists, and general readers in thinking, talking, and writing about philosophy of race.

This book takes a novel approach to the study of male eating disorders – an area that is often dominated by clinical discourses. The study of eating disorders in men has purportedly suffered from a lack of dedicated attention to personal and socio-cultural aspects. Delderfield tackles this deficiency by spotlighting a set of personal accounts written by a group of men who have experiences of disordered eating. The text presents critical interpretations that aim to situate these experiences in the social and cultural context in which these disorders occur. This discursive work is underpinned by an eclectic scholarly engagement with social psychology and sociology literature around masculinities, embodiment and fatness, belonging, punishment, stigma, and control; leading to understandings about relationships with food, body and self. This is undertaken with a reflexive element, as the personal intersects with the professional. This text will appeal to students, scholars and clinicians in social sciences, humanities, and healthcare studies, including public health.

This book adopts an approach based on relational psychoanalysis, developed in the USA in and since the 1990s and guided by the self-psychology championed by Kohut and the Post-Kohutians. How people infected with HIV/AIDS live their lives is a growing concern in China. The book, based on relational psychoanalysis, explores their self-restoration, and more specifically, how adopting an attitude of “dying to live” helps them face tremendous challenges in life. By interviewing selected individuals at a given organization, the author focuses on their life experiences and on corresponding interventional mechanisms. The book’s three most important features are as follows: 1) its application of self-psychology by Heinz Kohut into the context of psychological intervention; 2) a wealth of qualitative data gathered through in-depth interviews; and 3) the author’s self-reflection and analysis. The book offers a valuable guide for graduate students, researchers, and policymakers alike. By interviewing selected individuals at a given organization, the book focuses on the life histories of selected individuals after being diagnosed with AIDS (screening HIV positive) and on corresponding interventional mechanisms. Further, itemploys the self and self-object as key explanatory terms for the necessary psychotherapeutic interventions,and in order to create guidelines that sufficiently reflect the illness and corresponding interventions. Given its scope and focus, the book offers a valuable guide for graduate students, researchers, and policymakers alike.

This handbook is the second edition of a highly cited and impactful collection, which was the first to bring together the latest theory and research on critical approaches to social psychological challenges. Edited by a leading authority in the field, the volume helped to establish critical social psychology as a discipline of study, distinct from mainstream social psychology. The book helps to explain how critical approaches to social processes and phenomena are essential to fully understanding them and covers the main research topics in basic and applied social psychology, including social cognition, identity and social relations, alongside overviews of the main theories and methodologies that underpin critical approaches. This second edition adds four new chapters – from two UK authors, one US and one from New Zealand - on the subjects of Indigenous Psychologies, Māori communities, Deleuze and arts-based research. It also adds a new introduction from the editor. This volume features a range of leading authors working on key social psychological issues, and highlights a commitment to a social psychology which shuns psychologisation, reductionism and neutrality. It provides invaluable insight into many of the most pressing and distressing issues we face in modern society, including the migrant and refugee crises affecting Europe; the devaluing of black lives in the USA; and the poverty, ill-health, and poor mental well-being that has resulted from ever-increasing austerity efforts in the UK. Including sections on critical perspectives, critical methodologies, and critical applications, this volume also focuses on issues within social cognition, self and identity. This one-stop handbook is an indispensable resource for a range of academics, students and researchers in the fields of psychology and sociology, and particularly those with an interest in social identity, power relations, and critical interventions.

This book examines the benefits of applying the Identity Structure Analysis (ISA) to teacher professional development. At present no government, local authority or school is actively applying Identity Structure Analysis to monitor school improvement: in a profession where turnover is extremely high, ISA is framed as a way for professional development to meet the needs of the specific teacher. Examining idiographic ISA analyses as well as practical advice for implementing professional development programs, the authors scrutinise how ISA can be used in conjunction with mentoring to offset teacher turnover. This practical volume will be of interest and value to scholars and researchers of teacher identity and professional development, as well as researchers and policymakers interested in reducing teacher turnover.

Examining the revival of Bergsonism for phenomenology, leading scholars of both areas inaugurate a dialogue long overdue. By assessing phenomenology's readings of Bergson and Bergsonian challenges to phenomenological methods, the essays in this volume explore anew the issues of central concern in contemporary continental philosophy.

Using Symbolic Interactionist theories and descriptions of the everyday life of self-defined 'shy' people, the book explores the social processes of becoming a 'shy person' and performing the shy self in public places. The question of interactional competence is discussed in relation to issues of identity, embodiment, performativity and deviance.

Contemporary China, in an era of globalization and in the midst of transition, now faces both great opportunities and unprecedented challenges. People are more and more becoming “economic man,” “technological man” and “one-dimensional man,” and are increasingly losing the virtue, dignity and beauty of human nature. When humanity’s habitat grows smaller and smaller as economic, technological, informational and social interaction become more and more intense, while conflicts of interest and clashing values are growing increasingly heated, how should different religions, national groups and states deal with each other? As environmental pollution worsens, our ecosystem becomes increasingly unstable and population growth becomes an unbearable burden, where shall we look for a homeland where we can rest our weary minds? ... To answer these daunting questions and address their attendant challenges, all human activities, including institutional arrangements, economic constructions, and science and the arts, must all start from the change of humankind, re-think the true nature of humankind and its needs, and consider the prospect of humankind evolving into a “better humankind.” This book is an exploration of such inquires.

This book is about people that are uniquely situated between the realms of activism, within the Psychiatric Survivor Movement, and their careers as mental health professionals. It focuses on the co-authors’ navigation and juxtaposition of the roles of psychiatric survivor, mental health professional, and activist. Psychiatric Survivors is an international movement advocating for human rights in mental health systems and supporting humane and effective alternative options to mainstream practice for help-seeking. Drawing on past research as well as the co-authors’ own experiences, the volume explores identities of people who identify as both psychiatric survivors and mental health professionals, discussing the potential for further dialogue between psychiatric survivors and mental health professionals to create humane and person-centred communities of healing. This book is specifically targeted for practising psychotherapists and graduate students, to gain new insight into the Psychiatric Survivor Movement and to appreciate the value of lived experience and of psychiatric survivors’ efforts shaping the future of mental health care.

This book presents a genetic-phenomenological approach of existential psychotherapy, articulating its theoretical underpinnings with principles supported by scientific evidence and concluding with clinical examples.The volume also offers a clear perspective about the relational stances and the therapeutic interventions of existential psychotherapy and how both can be combined and applied in the clinical practice. It begins with an overview and update on psychotherapy research, from which a set of therapeutic principles are drawn. It then conceptualizes the theoretical underpinnings of the genetic-phenomenological approach, based on three main aspects: inner-time consciousness, the experiential self, and the passive synthesis theory. It concludes with practical examples of case conceptualizations and clinical cases. This work is particularly relevant for trainees, students, and professionals of clinical psychology and psychotherapy, but also other mental health professionals that work in the area of the psychological and psychotherapeutic interventions.

This book provides a scholarly yet accessible approach to critical psychology, specifically discussing therapeutic practices that are possible outside of the mainstream psychology industry. While there are many books that deconstruct or dismantle clinical psychology, few provide a compendium of potential alternatives to mainstream practice. Focusing on five main themes in reference to this objective: suffering, decolonization, dialogue, feminism and the arts, these pages explore types of personal inquiry, cultural knowledge or community action that might help explain and heal psychological pain beyond the confines of the therapy room. Chapters focus on the role of cultural knowledge, including spiritual traditions, relational being, art, poetry, feminism and indigenous systems in promoting healing and on community-based-initiatives, including open dialogue, justice-based collaboration and social prescribing. Beyond the Psychology Industry will be of interest to researchers, clinical psychologists, therapists, academics in mental health, and cultural psychologists.

Why do people enter total institutions – places that confine and control them around the clock – and how does the experience change them? This book updates Goffman's classic model by introducing the Re-inventive Institution, where members voluntarily commit themselves to pursue regimes of self-improvement.

This book closely interrogates the construct of identity and the role it plays in career development. It provides guidance for HRD practitioners and researchers who create career development programs through a typology of different categories of identity, such as demographics, life events, and career histories. The book presents a framework for considering and addressing career development from a critically reflective perspective of identity as a result of choice, chance, and adaptation. It offers a comprehensive understanding and awareness of tacit, nuanced, and stigmatized issues that were once shameful but have now become more socially acceptable. As a result, HRD practitioners can design programs and resources that have a richness and relevance that might heretofore be lacking. The book also offers guidance for individuals as they take charge of their own identities and career trajectories in an increasingly complex and unpredictable working environment.

This edited collection re-examines the global impact of Sartre’s philosophy from 1944-68. From his emergence as an eminent philosopher, dramatist, and novelist, to becoming the ‘world’s conscience’ through his political commitment, Jean-Paul Sartre shaped the mind-set of a generation, influencing writers and thinkers both in France and far beyond. Exploring the presence of existentialism in literature, theatre, philosophy, politics, psychology and film, the contributors seek to discover what made Sartre’s philosophy so successful outside of France. With twenty diverse chapters encompassing the US, Europe, the Middle East, East Asia and Latin America, the volume analyses the dissemination of existentialism through literary periodicals, plays, universities and libraries around the world, as well as the substantial challenges it faced. The global post-war surge of existentialism left permanent traces in history, exerting considerable influence on our way of life in its quest for authenticity and freedom. This timely and compelling volume revives the path taken by a philosophical movement that continues to contribute to the anti-discrimination politics of today.

Do judges' decisions depend on how long it is since they ate their lunch? Is the best place for a woman to seduce a man on a rickety bridge? Does free will really exist? This book explores how our genes and experiences determine our behaviour as well as discussing the implications determinism may have on personal responsibility and morality.
