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.

"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. Enjoy it." ★★★★★ Keywords: fantasy, urban fantasy, urban fantasy romance, royal fantasy, fantasy romance, royal romance, epic fantasy romance, clean ya fantasy, contemporary fantasy, ya contemporary fantasy, ya fantasy romance, teen fantasy romance, teen fantasy, teen urban fantasy, game of thrones, series starter, first in series, complete series, urban fantasy series, binge a fantasy series, books for teens, best books for teenagers, best book for my kid, clean fantasy, ya game of thrones, for fans of Victoria Aveyard, for fans of Tahereh Mafi, for fans of Sarah J.

Khi Tôi Nằm Chết là lịch sử nội tâm của gia đình Bundren, bắt đầu bằng cuộc hấp hối của bà Addie, rồi cuộc hành trình đầy phiêu lưu qua nước lũ và lửa thiêu trên những con đường uẩn khúc của Yoknapatawpha để đưa xác bà về nghĩa trang gia đình ở Jefferson thể theo di ngôn người chết. Tác phẩm miêu tả cuộc hành trình thể lý diễn ra trên đường cũng như cuộc hành trình tâm lý diễn ra trong hồn, quay cuồng giữa bóng tối và ánh sáng mà các vai diễn là bà Addie, ông Anse cùng các con trai Cash, Dari, Jewel, Vardaman và cô con gái duy nhất là Dewey Dell. Trong khi nằm hấp hối, bà Addie buộc chồng là Anse hứa đưa xác mình về Jefferson chôn cất. Để báo thù chồng về cuộc sống chung bất hạnh. Và bà đã từng cắm sừng chồng. Cuộc hành trình đưa đám ấy phải trải qua bốn mươi dặm đường. Mỗi người đưa đám trong gia đình đều có tâm tư và ý nguyện riêng. Đến Jefferson là thực hiện ý người chết mà cũng là thực hiện những niềm riêng ấy. Anse toan tính sẽ làm bộ răng giả nhằm lấy lại phong độ của mình, ông và bà Addie đồng sàng dị mộng. Và không chỉ là răng giả... Cash là trưởng nam, người đóng quan tài cho mẹ. Anh bị gãy chân khi vượt dòng sông lũ. Cam chịu đau đớn, anh nằm trên nắp quan tài cho đến cuối cuộc hành trình với ống chân bó ximăng! Darl là người con thứ, rất nhạy cảm. Anh biết cuộc hành trình này là vô lý và tai họa, có thể làm tan rã gia đình. Nên anh nổi lửa định hỏa thiêu xác mẹ và chấm dứt chuyến đi. Thất bại, Darl bị đưa vào viện tâm thần vì Anse sợ phải gánh lấy trách nhiệm. Jewel là con ngoại hôn của bà Addie. Tình nhân của bà là mục sư Whitfield. Jewel luôn liều mình cứu quan tài của mẹ qua những con nước lửa... Vardaman là con trai út. Cậu được hứa hẹn sẽ có chuối ăn và đồ chơi tàu hỏa khi nào đến nơi. Cậu đục quan tài cho mẹ thở và tin mẹ là một con cá. Dù rất ngây thơ, cậu cũng cảm thấy đau khổ vì những mất mát gia đình. Dewey Dell là cô con gái bất hạnh của gia đình. Cô chỉ mong tới được Jefferson để mua thuốc phá thai với số tiền mà người tình đã cho. Cô đồng cảm với Darl và phản đối dữ dội chuyện người ta bắt Darl vào viện tâm thần. Cuối cùng, cuộc hành trình cũng kết thúc. Xác bà Addie nặng mùi cũng được chôn cất ở Jefferson. Những hầu như chỉ có một mình ông Anse là thỏa mãn, hăng hái giới thiệu người vợ mới trước những đứa con tan nát tâm hồn. “Đây là bà Bundren”, ông nói ở cuối tác phẩm. Con đường mà gia đình Bunđren dấn bước dưới bóng của cái chết là hình ảnh thu nhỏ của Đường Đời. Con người bước đi trong cái bóng của đời sống và cái chết. Qua bi và hài. Qua nước và lửa. Qua mê và tỉnh. Qua dục vọng và đớn đau. Qua hợp và tan. Qua ước ao và thất vọng. Qua ngôn từ và hành động. Qua phi lý và nhân quả. Qua bất nhân và tình người. Qua hèn mọn và cao cả... “Cuộc đời thúc ta như con ong huyền bí”, theo nhà thơ Emily Dickinson. Và cái chết cũng thúc ta như con ong huyền bí, chứ gì? Là một tiểu thuyết ngắn, Khi Tôi Nằm Chết vẫn đạt đến tầm mức một kiệt tác lớn lao, sâu thẳm, dung hợp được những tố chất tương phản trong đời sống và văn chương với một nghệ thuật hư cấu đầy cách tân, táo bạo của một bậc thầy ngôn ngữ.

Coretta Scott King - John Steptoe Award winner In this “taut, eloquent first novel” (Booklist, starred review), a young Black boy wrestles with conflicting notions of revolution and family loyalty as he becomes involved with the Black Panthers in 1968 Chicago. The Time: 1968 The Place: Chicago For thirteen-year-old Sam, it’s not easy being the son of known civil rights activist Roland Childs. Especially when his older (and best friend), Stick, begins to drift away from him for no apparent reason. And then it happens: Sam finds something that changes everything forever. 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?

“Miéville, known for his genre-defying fantasy novels for adults, makes a splash with his picture book debut . . . a subversive delight.” —School Library Journal Two sisters sit down one morning and begin describing all of the really gross things that were in the worst breakfast they ever had, until all they can picture is a table piled sky-high with the weirdest, yuckiest, slimiest, slickest, stinkiest breakfast possible. And then they have the best breakfast ever . . . almost. A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of 2016 A Mississippi Clarion-Ledger Bestseller “This is a child’s imagination come to life, where a good thing can be the greatest thing in existence and a minor inconvenience snowballs into the most horrendous, atrocious, appalling, not good, very bad meal you’ve ever had.” —San Francisco Book Review “Miéville and Smith’s dialogue is fantastic: witty, smart, with great rhythm that doesn’t sacrifice artful turns of phrase to reach for an internal rhyme . . . A brilliant, original, infinitely rereadable book that can sit alongside Sendak and Dahl.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “Miéville lets it rip in this stomping, howling rant about a bad meal of legendary proportions.” —Publishers Weekly “Imaginative and fun, The Worst Breakfast is perfect for any picky eater out there. A rhyming scheme and inventive text kept up the giggles and the pace.” —100 Pages a Day “Deftly written by the exceptionally talented China Miéville and shockingly but gifted illustrated by Zak Smith, The Worst Breakfast is a unique picture book that will be enduringly popular . . . Very highly recommended.” —Midwest Book Review Publishers Note: This is the flowable text e-book edition, optimized for e-ink readers that cannot support fixed layout e-books.

In "The Collected Short Stories," Lewis Carroll showcases his distinctive literary style, marked by whimsical narratives and imaginative scenarios that defy conventional logic. This anthology presents a rich tapestry of stories reflecting Carroll's fascination with the interplay between reality and fantasy, often infused with clever wordplay and absurdist humor. Readers can expect to encounter charming characters and surreal situations that challenge the boundaries of narrative form, situating Carroll's work firmly within the literary context of Victorian England, where his pioneering exploration of nonsense literature helped shape the genre's evolution. Lewis Carroll, the pseudonym of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, was a mathematician, logician, and photographer, whose diverse intellectual pursuits greatly informed his creative output. His dual interests in structured logic and freeform imagination inspired him to craft stories that engage both the intellect and the imagination. Growing up amidst the Victorian era's formal constraints, Carroll's writing often rebuffed societal norms, reflecting his desire to inspire wonder and provoke thought among readers of all ages. This collection is highly recommended for both literary scholars and casual readers seeking to delve into the intricacies of Carroll's storytelling. It serves as an essential exploration of the author's playful yet profound meditation on language, reality, and the whimsical nature of childhood imagination.

Dobrodružný příběh ve foglarovské tradici o přátelství, napětí, dobrých skutcích i poučení. Ilustrátor Petr Morkes získal za svou tvorbu mnohá ocenění. 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. Jednoho dne Jindra objeví v knize z knihovny vzkaz adresovaný neznámému Kájovi, že v pilíři mostu Rudoarmějců je schovaný sešit s popisem cesty do jeskyně pokladů. Vojta s Jindrou se rozhodnou onen sešit najít. Jenže kde hledat most, který už dávno změnil jméno? Klukům poradí starý pan Pávek a dobrodružná výprava k řece může začít. V pátrání je neodradí ani anonym, který chlapcům vyhrožuje, že se jim stane něco strašného. Že autorem dopisu je tajemný Kája, dnes starý pan Krejčíř, kluci netuší. Získají sešit a společně s panem Krejčířem hledají poklad v jeskyni. K jejich skupině se přidá i Vojtova sestřenice Tereza. Děti si představují, co všechno si za poklad, který jistojistě najdou, koupí. Jenže pokladem nejsou šperky a drahé kameny, ale pravěké jeskynní malby. Ve chvíli, kdy si členové výpravy uvědomí hodnotu objevu, ozve se siréna. Odstřel skály zničí celou jeskyni a průzkumníci jsou rádi, že vyvázli živí a zdraví. Tajemství jeskyně pokladů je napínavý příběh, který děti učí, že nejcennější poklady nelze přepočítat na peníze.

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

His shameless words rendered Emmelyn speechless and shocked, more so, than the kiss he landed on her lips earlier. "I need three children from you." "Eh ... wait.. what? Hold on a minute," Emmelyn, who was moved from her shock, hurriedly rubbed her lips roughly as if trying to remove the devil's marks from them. "I don't want to be your wife! I don't want to marry you, you devil!!" The man frowned and squinted his eyes menacingly. "Who said anything about marriage?" THE NEXT DAY "Let's go," said the prince. "Let's go where?" Emmelyn asked, not understanding. "Let's go make babies." *** SYNOPSIS: The crown prince was cursed on the day he was born, that he will never be happy. What's worse, no woman could touch him without dying. Thus, finding a wife to produce an heir became the royal family's greatest challenge since the prince is the only son. Until one day.. A slave girl who tried to kill him didn't end up dying after they touched. Emmelyn was a princess from one of their colonies who vowed to avenge her family's death by killing the crown prince.. And that's how she ended up in his castle. Seeing that she was the only woman he could have sexual relationship with, without killing her, the prince made an agreement to let her go and free her kingdom from his oppression if she produced for him three heirs. Emmelyn said yes, but every day that they were together, she made plans to kill him and get her revenge. Can Emmelyn get what she wanted, or would she be entangled deeper with the enemy who was deemed as the devil incarnate himself by his enemies? *** CHECK OUT MY OTHER BOOKS: - The Cursed King - ONGOING - Finding Stardust - COMPLETED - The Alchemists - COMPLETED - The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love - COMPLETED - Till Death Do Us Part - COMPLETED I DON'T DO SLOW BURNS.

A middle grade historical murder mystery from a Newbery Medalist, “readers will be glued to this suspenseful, headlong caper from first page to last” (Kirkus Reviews). A plot to overthrow King Claudio is brewing in the Kingdom of Pergamontio. Scholarly Mangus the magician—along with his street-smart and faithful new servant boy, Fabrizio—have been marked as easy scapegoats for the traitor lurking within the king’s court. Together, these two unlikely partners must gather clues to solve the mystery and prove their innocence before the stroke of midnight . . . or face death! Intricate plotting, surprise twists, and lively prose make for another suspenseful page-turner that stands alone or sets the stage for Avi’s–bestselling sequel, Midnight Magic. “The suspense simmer[s] right through to the end.” —Booklist

This book presents the evolution of the Powerful Geography approach to teaching and learning in the United States and how the approach can be adapted and implemented in other countries. Powerful Geography acknowledges the remarkable diversity that exists in classrooms, the wide-ranging interests of modern students and the desire of these students to translate dynamic subject-matter into “useful” information and concepts, a process that is consistent with modern educational theory. For Powerful Geography to work in secondary and postsecondary education, teachers and university professors must adapt and teach geography as a critical training where individual students see opportunities to apply geography content, skills, and technology to real world problems that they care about. This book challenges geography educators at all levels to strengthen their applied curriculum in order to help students prepare for jobs and careers in broad areas such as climate change, migration, environmental protection, natural resources, energy development and use, transport planning, supply chain logistics, global trade, national security, and infrastructure.

“Culture eats strategy for breakfast”: this famous quote has become iconic for expressing the power of culture. Coined by management consultant Peter Drucker in 2006, while this expression may be an oversimplification of Drucker’s work, there can be little doubt that culture is crucial in helping schools succeed. While culture has gained a lot of traction in educational literature, many merely discuss its importance, rather than the steps on how to assess, or create it. Worse, many seem confused on what culture is in relation to schools and can often use the term haphazardly. This book therefore offers a practical guide, which demystifies school culture, with accessible references to academic research. It also offers illustrative examples from the domains of business, education, and history. Finally, it provides a practical and workable model, which can be employed by school leaders to check and change the culture of their school.

Persiapan materi yang bersifat teoritis penting artinya dalam mempersiapkan calon guru, namun latihan praktis tidak kalah pentingnya dari semua teori itu.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! President Trump's nominee for Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has written a revolutionary road map to saving our children from leftist indoctrination. Behind a smokescreen of “preparing students for the new industrial economy,” early progressives had political control in mind. America’s original schools didn’t just make kids memorize facts or learn skills; they taught them to think freely and arrive at wisdom. They assigned the classics, inspired love of God and country, and raised future citizens that changed the world forever. Today, after 16,000 hours of K-12 indoctrination, our kids come out of government schools hating America. They roll their eyes at religion and disdain our history. We spend more money on education than ever, but kids can barely read and write—let alone reason with discernment. Western culture is on the ropes. Kids are bored and aimless, flailing for purpose in a system that says racial and gender identity is everything. Battle for the American Mind is the untold story of the Progressive plan to neutralize the basis of our Republic – by removing the one ingredient that had sustained Western Civilization for thousands of years. Pete Hegseth and David Goodwin explain why, no matter what political skirmishes conservatives win, progressives are winning the war—and control the “supply lines” of future citizens. Reversing this reality will require parents to radically reorient their children’s education; even most homeschooling and Christian schooling are infused with progressive assumptions. We need to recover a lost philosophy of education – grounded in virtue and excellence – that can arm future generations to fight for freedom. It’s called classical Christian education. Never heard of it? You’re not alone. Battle for the American Mind is more than a book; it’s a field guide for remaking school in the United States. We’ve ceded our kids’ minds to the left for far too long—this book gives patriotic parents the ammunition to join an insurgency that gives America a fighting chance. Whether you're a conservative looking to push back against the progressive agenda or simply someone who cares about the education of our children, this book is for you.

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”.

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.

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.

Chemical education is essential to everybody because it deals with ideas that play major roles in personal, social, and economic decisions. This book is based on three principles: that all aspects of chemical education should be associated with research; that the development of opportunities for chemical education should be both a continuous process and be linked to research; and that the professional development of all those associated with chemical education should make extensive and diverse use of that research. It is intended for: pre-service and practising chemistry teachers and lecturers; chemistry teacher educators; chemical education researchers; the designers and managers of formal chemical curricula; informal chemical educators; authors of textbooks and curriculum support materials; practising chemists and chemical technologists. It addresses: the relation between chemistry and chemical education; curricula for chemical education; teaching and learning about chemical compounds and chemical change; the development of teachers; the development of chemical education as a field of enquiry. This is mainly done in respect of the full range of formal education contexts (schools, universities, vocational colleges) but also in respect of informal education contexts (books, science centres and museums).

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.

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.

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.

Young Eddie Toma's passage through the truly ugly parts of this world is met, like an antidote, or perhaps a compensation, by his remarkable awareness of its beauty. This is a writer who understands youth, and how to tell a story." —Gil Adamson, winner of the Writers' Trust Fiction Prize for Ridgerunner Brian Isaac's powerful debut novel All the Quiet Places is the coming-of-age story of Eddie Toma, an Indigenous (Syilx) boy, told through the young narrator's wide-eyed observations of the world around him. It's 1956, and six-year-old Eddie Toma lives with his mother, Grace, and his little brother, Lewis, near the Salmon River on the far edge of the Okanagan Indian Reserve in the British Columbia Southern Interior. Grace, her friend Isabel, Isabel's husband Ray, and his nephew Gregory cross the border to work as summer farm labourers in Washington state. There Eddie is free to spend long days with Gregory exploring the farm: climbing a hill to watch the sunset and listening to the wind in the grass. The boys learn from Ray's funny and dark stories. But when tragedy strikes, Eddie returns home grief-stricken, confused, and lonely. Eddie's life is governed by the decisions of the adults around him. Grace is determined to have him learn the ways of the white world by sending him to school in the small community of Falkland. On Eddie"s first day of school, as he crosses the reserve boundary at the Salmon River bridge, he leaves behind his world. Grace challenges the Indian Agent and writes futile letters to Ottawa to protest the sparse resources in their community. His father returns to the family after years away only to bring chaos and instability. Isabel and Ray join them in an overcrowded house. Only in his grandmother's company does he find solace and true companionship. In his teens, Eddie's future seems more secure—he finds a job, and his long-time crush on his white neighbour Eva is finally reciprocated. But every time things look up, circumstances beyond his control crash down around him. The cumulative effects of guilt, grief, and despair threaten everything Eddie has ever known or loved. All the Quiet Places is the story of what can happen when every adult in a person's life has been affected by colonialism; it tells of the acute separation from culture that can occur even at home in a loved familiar landscape. Its narrative power relies on the unguarded, unsentimental witness provided by Eddie.

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.

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.

Der Roman, der erstmals 1872 veröffentlicht wurde, erzählt die Geschichte von Tartarin, einem liebenswerten Aufschneider und Möchtegern-Abenteurer aus der kleinen Stadt Tarascon. Tartarin ist eine Figur, die sowohl Don Quijote als auch Sancho Pansa in sich vereint. Er träumt von großen Abenteuern und exotischen Reisen, während er gleichzeitig die Bequemlichkeit seines gemütlichen Zuhauses schätzt. In seiner Fantasie ist er ein unerschrockener Held, ein furchtloser Löwenjäger und ein Mann von Welt. Doch in Wirklichkeit hat er seine Heimatstadt kaum je verlassen und seine Abenteuer beschränken sich auf die Lektüre von Abenteuerromanen und das Erzählen großspuriger Geschichten. Die Handlung des Romans beginnt mit Tartarin, der in Tarascon als Held verehrt wird. Er ist bekannt für seine Sammlung exotischer Pflanzen und Waffen, die sein Haus schmücken. Doch Tartarin langweilt sich und sehnt sich nach echten Abenteuern. Als das Gerücht aufkommt, dass er auf Löwenjagd nach Afrika gehen wird, ist er selbst am meisten überrascht. Doch seine Eitelkeit und der Druck der Gesellschaft treiben ihn tatsächlich dazu, die Reise anzutreten. In Afrika angekommen, erlebt Tartarin eine Reihe von Missgeschicken und komischen Situationen. Er wird seekrank, erschießt versehentlich einen Esel und wird von einem Hochstapler betrogen. Doch schließlich gelingt es ihm, einen alten, blinden Löwen zu erlegen, was ihm bei seiner Rückkehr nach Tarascon einen triumphalen Empfang beschert. Daudet beschreibt Tartarin mit einer Mischung aus spöttischer Bewunderung und liebevoller Ironie. Der Roman ist eine Parodie auf die Abenteuer- und Heldenromane des 19. Jahrhunderts und gleichzeitig eine liebevolle Hommage an die Menschen des Südens, die für ihre lebhafte Fantasie und ihre Neigung zum Aufschneiden bekannt sind. "Tartarin aus Tarascon" ist nicht nur eine unterhaltsame Lektüre, sondern auch ein tiefgründiges Werk, das die menschliche Natur und die Kluft zwischen Traum und Realität erforscht. Es ist ein Buch, das zum Lachen und Nachdenken anregt und das Herz jedes Lesers erobert, der sich auf die Reise mit Tartarin einlässt. Wenn Sie auf der Suche nach einem Roman sind, der Sie zum Schmunzeln bringt und gleichzeitig zum Nachdenken anregt, dann ist "Tartarin aus Tarascon" genau das Richtige für Sie. Tauchen Sie ein in die wunderbaren Abenteuer dieses liebenswerten Helden und lassen Sie sich von Alphonse Daudets meisterhafter Erzählkunst verzaubern.

So, this is the first book for me to ever write. I was in 9th Standard when started to write this book and finally after not giving up I have completed my first book. Well in the past I have tried several times to write a story but then again I’m in school, so I didn’t have any time. But last year I got a load of time on my hands, so I had to make the most of it. I like scary things, with some wittiness, I have done my best to write my first book ever and it feels good to have accomplished this feat.

Nearly seventy years after its original publication, Ray Bradbury’s internationally acclaimed novel Fahrenheit 451 stands as a classic of world literature set in a bleak, dystopian future. 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.

En bombe eksploderer i Demokratisk Klima Fraktions hovedkontor kort før et EU-klimatopmøde i København, og organisationens eneste medarbejder dør. Flere mindre klimaaktioner kulminerer med et brandattentat mod Danmarks kontroversielle klimaminister, Ib Boldbjerg, der er kendt for at være en brutal politiker. Ulrik Torp er blevet chefredaktør på den gratis ugeavis ValbyPosten. En række – for ugeavisen uvante – kritiske artikler om Valbys lokale toppolitiker Ib Boldbjergs private boligforhold, sætter Torp på sporet af kræfter, der for enhver pris vil gøre klimatopmødet til en fiasko. Samtidig kæmper Ulrik Torp på den private front både med sit helbred og med den fortabte søn, der efter tre år pludselig vender tilbage fra Bruxelles som fuldtids klimaaktivist sammen med en ny kæreste. Til sidst tvinges Ulrik Torp til at vælge imellem karriere, klima og familie. Spændingsromanen Nedsmeltning er skrevet af Niels Krause-Kjær (f. 1963). Han er uddannet journalist og arbejder i dag som vært på DR2 Deadline. Efter en periode som pressechef for Den Konservative Folketingsgruppe skrev han den politiske thriller Kongekabale, der blev filmatiseret i 2004. Opfølgeren til Kongekabale, Mørkeland, udkom i 2019, og i 2020 fulgte tredje bind, Fandens forår.

Quand elle part, Marie ne se rend ni sur les plages paradisiaques ni sur les sites de monuments touristiques.

Élevée par une mère monoparentale qui n'a jamais quitté son quartier, Marie a une soif de découvertes. Matthieu est bien chez lui. Il travaille de son domicile et est proche de sa mère qui vient le visiter tous les dimanches. Sans passé ni futur, Marie et Matthieu vivent, ensemble même à distance, un amour atypique qui n’a de compte à rendre à personne.

Un roman éblouissant, inspiré d'un fait réel, qui vous fera voyager au cœur de la Belle Époque. Quand April Vogt, expert en mobilier, apprend qu ́un appartement fermé depuis soixante-dix ans vient d ́être découvert à Paris, elle est loin de s ́imaginer les richesses et les secrets qu ́il renferme. Au milieu des nombreux trésors, April trouve le journal de Marthe de Florian, la très séduisante demi-mondaine qui y vécut en multipliant les amants. Comprendre la tumultueuse histoire de cette femme libre conduit April à une véritable plongée au cœur du Paris des artistes et des hommes politiques de la Belle Époque. Découvrez l'incroyable histoire d'un trésor retrouvé intact 70 ans après dans un luxueux appartement parisien ! EXTRAIT Elle voulait juste changer d’air. Et quand son patron avait prononcé les mots « appartement », « neuvième arrondissement » et « tout un bric-à-brac du dix-neuvième siècle », April avait pensé « vacances ». Elle aurait beaucoup de travail, certes, mais qu’importe, elle partait à Paris. Comme tout peintre, tout poète, tout écrivain et tout expert en objets d’art le savait, c’était l’endroit idéal pour s’évader. L’équipe parisienne se trouvait déjà sur place avec, à sa tête, Olivier. April le voyait déjà sillonnant l’appartement, son calepin à la main, griffonnant des notes de ses doigts osseux et crochus. Il avait demandé des renforts à New York, car ils avaient besoin d’un autre expert, et plus précisément d’un spécialiste en mobilier ancien pour compenser leur manque de compétence dans ce domaine. D’après le patron d’April, l’appartement de cinq pièces contenait « de quoi meubler une douzaine de lupanars de luxe ». Si Peter ne se faisait pas beaucoup d’illusions sur ce qu’ils allaient trouver, April en attendait beaucoup, quoique pour des raisons différentes. CE QU'EN PENSE LA CRITIQUE "De l’amour, de l’art, de l’histoire, Paris ... que demander de plus ?" - FineBooks Magazine "Une lecture charmante sur une histoire fascinante et la femme cachée derrière." - Historical Novel Society "J’ai beaucoup aimé découvrir l’envers du décor de ce métier très particulier de commissaire-priseur et que je trouve tout à fait fascinant. Michelle Gable, dont c’est ici le premier roman, jongle habilement entre les deux époques et j’ai passé un très agréable moment avec April et Marthe !" - Blog Des livres, des livres ! "J'étais totalement happée dans l'histoire, la narration est très bien menée, servie par un style très agréable, on est tenu en haleine à suivre les découvertes d'April Vogt et à en apprendre plus sur Marthe de Florian." - Red Panda, Babelio "J'ai lu ce roman avec beaucoup d'envie et très rapidement, grâce à une plume très fluide et un véritable attachement pour les personnages." - Les Lectures de Doris À PROPOS DE L’AUTEUR Michelle Gable a grandi à San Diego. Elle mène de front sa carrière d’auteur et une carrière professionnelle dans le milieu financier. Son roman, devenu best-seller, s’inspire d’un événement réel : la découverte en 2010 d’un appartement parisien de la Belle Époque laissé à l’abandon, comme figé dans le temps.

Tom Adornetto weaves a compelling and compassionate story of courage in the face of unimaginable loss and exploring the strength it takes to conquer our greatest fears and violent impulses of revenge.

"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.

En 1847 aparece en Gran Bretaña Cumbres Borrascosas. En su momento, fue sólo una novela más de las muchas que se publicaban en esa época de auge del género y cuyo recibimiento por parte de la crítica contemporánea no resultó, ni siquiera remotamente, favorable. Sin embargo, con el paso del tiempo y las sucesivas lecturas, se la empezó a considerar como una de las grandes obras narrativas de los últimos siglos. Funcionó –y, de hecho, continúa haciéndolo– como una suerte de usina para múltiples adaptaciones a lenguajes, medios y soportes diversos. Cumbres Borrascosas no es una novela fácil o complaciente. En ella, la autora crea y describe un mundo apasionado y violento, tumultuoso y desbocado en pos de abordar cuestiones brutales, descarnadas y hasta censuradas por las convenciones que regían a la famosa y por demás rígida moral victoriana. Todo ello, lo hace retratando a un protagonista que se aleja bastante de los cánones valorados por la sociedad británica del siglo XIX, y a través de una narración que se caracteriza por un tratamiento seco y escueto del lenguaje.

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

Estamos en un Londres apagado y frío. Es el invierno de 1944, y suena el «chirrido de los autobuses, el rumor del metro, el temblor de los adoquines bajo los pies». Red, una estudiante de Zoología, se enamora de Mara Daniels, su compañera de disección en la facultad, una chica casada, elegante y despreocupada. Pronto las dos mujeres se vuelven inseparables, presas de una pasión física absoluta, pero también de una ansiedad y unos juegos enrevesados que las conducirán a un punto de no retorno. Publicada por primera vez en 1962, Amor de invierno es la historia de un amor que intenta florecer bajo el zumbido sordo de las bombas. Una indagación en el deseo y la obsesión, pero también en los sentimientos más oscuros y ambivalentes y en la identidad moldeada por la moral opresiva de la época. Esta novela de Han Suyin — «probablemente lo mejor que ha escrito nunca», según The Daily Telegraph— es su obra más inesperada y conmovedora. Una joya secreta de la literatura del siglo XX. «Un mundo propio de felicidad, frustraciones y mentiras. Una obra conmovedora y amarga sobre un amor fuera del canon». — Times Literary Supplement «Una obra extraordinaria. Una novelette únicamente por su extensión». — Anthony Quinton «La obra más excepcional de Han Suyin. Su mejor novela». — Alison Hennegan «Un libro desoladoramente cinematográfico, de jardines descuidados y cafeterías llenas de humo. Para lectores de Sally Rooney o E. M. Forster; o para incondicionales de la película Carol de Todd Haynes». — Molly Young, The New York Times

Máme jít na reprodukční kliniku? Mám poslat svýho muže na vyšetření spermatu? Tohle všechno se mi honilo hlavou. A teď se to po těch letech honí knihou.

Tindakan-tindakan kecil kita di masa lalu telah mengubah banyak di kehidupan kita saat ini. Mungkin kita tidak pernah menyadarinya. Mungkin kita telah melupakannya. Meski kemudian kita kebingungan karena tidak mampu memahami rentetan kejadian sebab dan akibat itu. Kita sering gagal memahami bahwa apa yang terjadi dalam hidup kita adalah hal-hal terbaik yang bisa kita dapatkan. Kita sering salah memahami maksud-maksud tersembunyi yang Dia hadirkan dalam semua rentetan kejadian hidup yang amat berharga. Dia ingin mengajarkan kita sesuatu. Sesuatu yang sering kita tolak kehadirannya. Sesuatu yang barangkali menjadi doa-doa kita selama ini. Tapi, kita tidak cukup sabar untuk melewati perjalanan ini, melewati musim-musim yang silih berganti. [Mizan, Bentang, Penerbit Bentang, Bentang Pustaka, Fiksi, Novel, Romance, Dewasa, Indonesia]

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

Lane Haviland can’t seem to catch a break. She’s dead broke, barely functioning as an adult, and completely alone in New York City. Her so-called “apartment” is a six-by-nine cell in a Brooklyn basement. And her new boss hasn’t ever met a personal or professional boundary she can’t bulldoze through. Still, Lane’s determined to at least attempt to claw her way back to respectability. But she can’t seem to get her mysterious handyman, Viktor, out of her apartment – or her headspace. Maybe that’s a good thing: Viktor’s easy on the eyes, and that deep-voiced Russian accent is beyond sexy. But as he and Lane grow closer, he can no longer hide his connections with a dangerous criminal underworld – where secrets can be deadly.

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.

"[L]oaded with fascinating details about Huang’s unusual leadership style and maniacal work habits." —Ben Cohen, Wall Street Journal "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 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.

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.

Virtualization has become a “megatrend”—and for good reason. Implementing virtualization allows for more efficient utilization of network server capacity, simpler storage administration, reduced energy costs, and better use of corporate capital. In other words: virtualization helps you save money, energy, and space. Not bad, huh? If you’re thinking about “going virtual” but have the feeling everyone else in the world understands exactly what that means while you’re still virtually in the dark, take heart. Virtualization for Dummies gives you a thorough introduction to this hot topic and helps you evaluate if making the switch to a virtual environment is right for you. This fun and friendly guide starts with a detailed overview of exactly what virtualization is and exactly how it works, and then takes you on a tour of the benefits of a virtualized environment, such as added space in overcrowded data centers, lower operations costs through more efficient infrastructure administration, and reduced energy costs through server consolidation. Next, you’ll get step-by-step guidance on how to: Perform a server virtualization cost versus benefit analysis Weigh server virtualization options Choose hardware for your server virtualization project Create a virtualized software environment Migrate to—and manage—your new virtualized environment Whether you’re an IT manager looking to sell the idea to your boss, or just want to learn more about how to create, migrate to, and successfully manage a virtualized environment, Virtualization for Dummies is your go-to guide for virtually everything you need to know.

>> „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

إن موضوع علوم البيان من علوم العربية، موضع الرأس من الإنسان، أو اليتيمة من قلائد العقيان، فهي مستودع سرها، ومظهر جلالها، فلا فضيلة لكلام على كلام، إلا بما يحويه من لطائفها ويودع فيه من مزاياها وخصائصها، ولا تبريز لمتكلم على آخر، إلا بما يحوكه من وشيها، ويلفظه من درها، وينفثه من سحرها، ويجنيه من يانع ثمرها، إلى أن بها نعرف وجه إعجاز القرآن، وندرك ما فيه من خصائص البيان، ونفهم براعة أسلوبه، وانسجام تأليفه، وسهولة نظمه وسلامته، وعذوبته وجزالته، إلى أمثال تلك المحاسن التي أعجزت العرب وحيرت عقولهم. من هنا يبرز عظيم منزلة البيان وأنها لا تدانيها منزلة علم آخر من علوم العربية، فلا عجب إذا اتجهت همم العلماء والباحثين في مختلف العصور إلى التأليف فيها، وبسط القول في بيان مغازيها ومراميها. هذا ولا تزال الهمم تطمح إلى مزيد من التآليف في هذا العلم إلى يومنا هذا. ومن خلال هذا المؤلَّف أدلى أحمد مصطفى مراغي بدلوه، حيث وضعه بمنهجية تجمع بين طريق المتقدمين، من سعة الشرح والاعتماد على الأمثلة والشواهد، حتى تستبين للقارئ خصائص البلاغة مرموقة محسوسة. ولطائف الكلام مجسمة ملموسة، ويسهل تطبيق العلم على العمل، والإجمال على التفصيل، وذلك أمثل الطرق، لبنائه على قواعد علم النفس، من تعويد الناظر الركون إلى الوجدان والحس، وطريق المتأخرين من حس الترتيب والتبويب، وجمع ما تفرق من قواعد هذه الفنون، ليكون أنجح في الدرس وأقرب إلى التناول.

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.

This includes presenting the latest research on better studied topics, such as segmental phonology, accent or focus constructions, as well as both introducing areas of study which have traditionally been underrepresented, such as syntax or kanbun materials, and showing how they contribute to a fuller understanding of all of the history of Japanese.

Omar Khayyam's Secret: Hermeneutics of the Robaiyat in Quantum Sociological Imagination, by Mohammad H. Tamdgidi, is a 12-book series of which this book is the 11th volume, subtitled Khayyami Robaiyat: Re-Sewing the Tentmaker's Tent: 1000 Bittersweet Wine Sips from Omar Khayyam's Tavern of Happiness. Each book, independently readable, can be best understood as a part of the whole series. In Book 11, having shared the three parts of the Robaiyat attributed to Khayyam in the Books 8, 9, and 10 of the series, Tamdgidi offers the entire set of the 1000 quatrains, including the Persian originals and his new English verse translations for each. The poems, comprising Khayyam's songs of doubt, hope, and joy, are organized according to the three-phased method of inquiry he introduced in his philosophical writings, respectively addressing the questions: "Does Happiness Exist?"; "What Is Happiness?"; and "Why Does (or Can) Happiness Exist?" When Khayyam discussed the three-phased method of inquiry in his treatise "Resalat fi al-Kown wa al-Taklif" ("Treatise on the Created World and Worship Duty"), he noted an exception to the rule of asking, when studying any subject, whether it exists, what it is, and, why it exists (or can exist). He distinguished between things objectively existing independent of the human mind, and those created by the human mind. The normal procedure applies to the former, but for products of the human mind, he advised, the procedure must be modified to asking first what something is, then, whether it exists, and, then, why it exists or can exist. This is because, for products of the human mind, such as created works of art, we would not know whether something exists and why it exists unless we first know what it is. To illustrate his point, he used the example of the mythical bird Anqa (Simorgh in Persian or the Phoenix in English). He argued that only when we know what the metaphor stands for would we be able to say whether it exists (say, in a work of art, or even as a person represented by it), and why it exists or can exist. Khayyam's elaboration implies that one has to make a distinction between objective and human objectified realities, which implies that for some objects, such as happiness, we in fact confront a hybrid reality where aspects of it may be externally conditioned, but other aspects being dependent on the human will. Once we realize the significance of Khayyam's point, then, we appreciate that his Robaiyat can also be regarded as a way of poetically portraying and advancing human happiness, its poetic Wine being not just reflective but also generative of the happiness portrayed. By way of his poetry, therefore, Khayyam has offered a severe critique of the then prevalent fatalistic astrological worldviews blaming human plight on objective conditions, in favor of a conceptualist view of reality in which happiness can be achieved despite the odds, depending on the creative human agency, itself being an objective force. Tamdgidi further shows that the triangular geometry of the logic governing Khayyam's Robaiyat-the numerical values of whose three sides are proportional to the Grand Tent governing Khayyam's birth chart-further supports the view (expressed in Khayyam's own quatrains) that for him his Robaiyat poetically represented the tent of which he regarded himself to be a tentmaker, revealing another key explanation for his pen name. The geometric structure of a tent proportional to the Grand Tent of Khayyam's chart, as well as the metaphor of the Robaiyat as Simorgh songs, are hidden in the deeper structure of Khayyam's 1000-piece solved puzzle, the same way he embedded his own triangular golden rule in the design of the North Dome of Isfahan. Khayyam's Robaiyat are his Simorgh's millennial rebirth songs served in his tented tavern as 1000 sips of his bittersweet Wine of happiness.

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.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2003 im Fachbereich Orientalistik / Sinologie - Allgemeines u. Übergreifendes, Note: 1.5, Universität Bern (Institut für Islamwissenschaft und Neuere Orientalische Philologie), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: [...] Der Schwerpunkt dieser Hausarbeit liegt darin, diese beiden unterschiedlichen Antworten zur Frage nach der Identität dieses beliebten Schwankhelden darzustellen. Dazu soll zunächst ein kurzer Forschungsüberblick zur Frage der Historizität des „türkischen Hocas“ einleiten. Anschliessend soll die Ansicht, dass die Figur des Nasreddin Hoca mit einem spezifisch türkischen Kontext und einer entsprechenden Mentalität untrennbar verbunden sei, anhand von drei Autoren vorgestellt werden, die mit unterschiedlichen Methoden versuchen, ihre Theorie zu untermauern. Dem gegenüber stehen die Forschungen von Autoren, die Nasreddin Hoca als eine Art Integrationsgestalt unterschiedlicher humoristischer Kurzprosa im islamischen Orient betrachten. Auch hier soll ein Überblick der grundsätzlichen Theorien und der verwendeten Methoden geschehen, welche die Autoren zur Stützung ihrer Überlegungen anführen. Als Literatur dienten mir hauptsächlich verschiedene Sammlungen von Hoca-Anekdoten, darunter Ulrich Marzolphs „Nasreddin Hodscha - 666 wahre Geschichten“, „Wer den Duft des Essens verkauft“, übersetzt und herausgegeben von Herbert Melzig und „Das Wort des Esels“ von Orhan Veli Kanik, übersetzt von Yüksel Pazarkaya. Weitere Werke bildeten „Nasreddin Hodscha und Till Eulenspiegel - Eine Studie zur vergleichenden Schwankforschung“ von Inci Krause-Akidil und das Buch der Erzählforscherin Alev Tekinay „Materialien zum vergleichenden Studium von Erzählmotiven in der deutschen Dichtung des Mittelalters und den Literaturen des Orients“.

(Eng) Posnaturalezas poéticas. Pensamiento ecológico y políticas de la extrañeza en la poesía latinoamericana contemporánea investigates the environmental, cultural and political significance of the postnatural turn in contemporary Latin American poetry. The postnatural is understood here not in apocalyptic terms but as the materials and views defying the nature-culture and human-nonhuman divide while linking the regional to the planetary. Attending to poetic estrangement, this book explores poetic experimentations with language, audiovisual, digital, and bio art in a postnatural horizon. From the air filled with asbestos in a factory in Santiago de Chile to the flames and ashes from a burning wetland in Cuenca Baja del Paraná, the poetry studied here stages the climate, sanitary, and social crises in Latin America under the expansion of neo-extractivism since the end of the XX century. How does poetry stage, resist, and intervene in these geological and atmospheric mutations? Through close analyses of poems by Carlos Soto-Román, Daniel Samoilovich, Verónica Gerber Bicecci, Santiago Acosta, Cecilia Vicuña, Roxana Miranda Rupailaf, Esthela Calderón, Eduardo Kac, Luigi Amara, Josely Vianna Baptista, and the collective poem Humedal, Azucena Castro shows how contemporary poetry interacts with ecocides in Indigenous territories, residues of oil production in petrostates, and monoculture in agriculture intensive lands. This book seeks to understand the role of poetic form in shaping, negotiating, and communicating environmental knowledge during the ongoing, profound, and accelerated transformations taking place in Latin America from the 1970s to the present. (Esp) Posnaturalezas poéticas. Pensamiento ecológico y políticas de la extrañeza en la poesía latinoamericana contemporánea investiga el significado medioambiental, cultural y político del giro posnatural en la poesía latinoamericana contemporánea. Lo posnatural no se entiende aquí en términos apocalípticos sino como las materias y visiones que desafían las dicotomías naturaleza-cultura, humano- no humano, al mismo tiempo que interconectan lo regional a lo planetario. Con atención en el extrañamiento poético, este libro explora las experimentaciones poéticas con el lenguaje, el audiovisual, lo digital y el bioarte en el horizonte posnatural. Desde el aire colmado de amianto en una fábrica en Santiago de Chile a las llamas y cenizas de un humedal ardiendo en la Cuenca Baja del Paraná, la poesía estudiada aquí escenifica las crisis ambientales, sociales y sanitarias en América Latina bajo la expansión del neo-extractivismo desde fines del siglo XX. ¿Cómo escenifica, resiste e interviene la poesía en las mutaciones geológicas y atmosféricas? A través de análisis cercanos de poemas de Carlos Soto-Román, Daniel Samoilovich, Verónica Gerber Bicecci, Santiago Acosta, Cecilia Vicuña, Roxana Miranda Rupailaf, Esthela Calderón, Eduardo Kac, Luigi Amara, Josely Vianna Baptista, y el poema colectivo Humedal, Azucena Castro muestra cómo la poesía contemporánea interactúa con los ecocidios en territorios indígenas, los residuos de la producción fósil en petroestados y los monocultivos en zonas de agricultura intensiva. Este libro busca comprender el rol de la forma poética en la elaboración, negociación y comunicación de conocimientos medioambientales durante las aceleradas y profundas transformaciones en curso que tienen lugar en América Latina desde 1970 al presente. Praise "En este exhaustivo estudio, Azucena Castro brillantemente demuestra cómo la poesía contemporánea latinoamericana emplea el extrañamiento para desmantelar las falsas dicotomías humano/nohumano y cultura/naturaleza. En cambio, a través de la lírica, los poetas analizados dan forma a lo posnatural: el planeta marcado indeleblemente por las actividades destructivas del capitalismo extractivo. Esta imbricación posnatural de lo humano y lo nohumano, Castro sostiene, es a su vez un umbral de peligros ominosos y de nuevas formas de convivencia. Las lecturas detalladas de Castro deslumbran y ponen de relieve la capacidad de la poesía como forma de responder a la crisis ambiental." –Carolyn Fornoff, autora de Subjunctive Aesthetics. Mexican Cultural Production in the Era of Climate Change "Posnaturalezas poéticas irrumpe en las humanidades ambientales con un ensamblaje entre objetos perturbadores: los escenarios residuales que deja el capital a su paso y la poesía del siglo XXI como discurso inespecífico que los explora. Aquí todas las existencias hablan, cuentan historias de tiempos remotos y su devenir en el contexto del capitalismo (neo)extractivo latinoamericano. Surge, así, una episteme más-que-humana para pensar, fuera de convenciones y binarismos, nuestra crisis ambiental." –Jorge Locane, autor de Miradas locales en tiempos globales. Intervenciones literarias sobre la ciudad latinoamericana "Con su escritura crítica diáfana y precisa, Azucena Castro ofrece un panorama de la lírica latinoamericana actual aunado a un verdadero estado de la cuestión ecocrítica. Un libro esperado y riguroso que da cuerpo a una poética en comunión con lo más que humano." –Héctor Hoyos, autor de Things with a History: Transcultural Materialism and the Literatures of Extraction in Contemporary Latin America "Este libro propone una indagación de la naturaleza después de la naturaleza, en tanto entramado de lo humano y lo no humano pero también de lo orgánico y lo inorgánico. Entre los ensamblajes recorridos por Azucena Castro, destaca el de la teoría y la poesía como un pensamiento y una política ecológica que permite abrir interrogantes tales como ¿qué le hacen el barroco y su sonido arborescente a la teoría?, ¿qué oído le pone el poema al mutismo del desastre?, ¿qué provoca lo ominoso en las hegemonías del discurso ambientalista? Aquí reside la potencia inusitada de su modo de leer." –Ana Porrúa, autora de Caligrafía tonal. Ensayos sobre poesía y editora de El jardín de los poetas.

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।

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).

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.

يشكّل هذا الكتاب ``ليس مجرد سرد.. أصل الحكاية في التراث العربي`` محاولة لإعادة التشبّث بتراثنا، فكلما كان الأدب قادرا على تصوير بيئته المحلية تصويرا عميقا استطاع أن ينطلق إلى العالمية، ويتجه بعض المثقفين الأمميين إلى الحضارات الأخرى لإغناء رصيدهم الثقافي، وإضافة ما هو جديد ومختلف عمّا خُلِّد في تاريخهم الأدبي، وخلافا لذلك أصيبت الحالة العربية بإنكارٍ للذات وتنكُّرٍ لها، إذ إن ``التراث`` في نظر شريحة كبيرة من مثقفينا، ليس إلا حجر الزاوية لمقام الشعر الذي عُنونَ نقديّا بوصفه ديوان العرب، ليسَ مجرّدَ سرد إطلالةٌ على التراث العربيّ الحكائيّ، وما اشتملَ عليه من سُرود، ومحاولة تفحُّصِها ضمن أكثر من سياق؛ قراءة تفاعليّة مع النصّ تسعى لاستنطاق الكامن فيه، ومعالجته في مقارنة تاريخيّة وثقافيّة بين العرب والأمم الأخرى، وتوضيح العلاقة بين التاريخ والحكاية، والتّأكيد على أنّ الموروث العربي لا يقتصر على الشعر.

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 .

Theme-based learning is a way of teaching and learning, whereby many areas of the curriculum are connected together and integrated within a theme.

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.

Reading by Starlight explores the characteristics in the writing, marketing and reception of science fiction which distinguish it as a genre. Damien Broderick explores the postmodern self-referentiality of the sci-fi narrative, its intricate coded language and discursive `encyclopaedia'. He shows how, for perfect understanding, sci-fi readers must learn the codes of these imaginary worlds and vocabularies, all the time picking up references to texts by other writers. Reading by Starlight includes close readings of paradigmatic cyberpunk texts and writings by SF novelists and theorists including Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, Brian Aldiss, Patrick Parrinder, Kim Stanley Robinson, John Varley, Roger Zelazny, William Gibson, Fredric Jameson and Samuel R. Delaney.

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.

Israel's Wars is a fascinating and essential insight into the turbulent history of this troubled country which, since its foundation, has endured almost constant violence.

House X is by far the largest and best appointed of the Minoan houses excavated at Kommos in south-central Crete, a Minoan harbor and settlement that later became the site of a Greek sanctuary. Situated on the seacoast of the western Mesara Plain, Kommos faces west toward the Libyan Sea. House X stands on the southern edge of the Minoan town, separated by a large slab-paved road from the monumental civic buildings built and used between the Protopalatial and Postpalatial periods. The description of the stratigraphic excavation of this elite house is published with numerous architectural plans along with the cataloged small finds and tables of data on the floral and faunal materials. The excavated fresco fragments are also discussed and illustrated. This volume presents the Late Bronze Age pottery from in and around House X, a large Minoan house at Kommos situated not far from the sea in South-Central Crete. This volume is richly illustrated with drawings, photos, and tables of data. Rutter's contribution complements the publication of the architecture, stratigraphy, and small finds in Part 1 (Shaw and Shaw, eds., 2012). Together, this pair of volumes offers a conclusion to a series of monographs (volumes I-V) previously published about the site (Shaw and Shaw, eds., 1995-2006). The Kommos series is now completed by the two-volume publication on House X.

Das Jahr 1923 steht für eine schwere Krise: Besetzung des Ruhrgebietes, Inflation, Wirtschaftskrise, Hitlerputsch und schließlich die sogenannten kommunistischen Putschversuche in Sachsen. Die dortige Linksregierung habe "Moskau" und dem Kommunismus Tür und Tor geöffnet. Nur der Einmarsch der Reichswehr konnte daher das Reich vor Chaos und Umsturz retten. So die gängige Meinung bisher. Das Buch zeigt, das in Sachsen initiierte linksrepublikanische Projekt wollte keineswegs die Demokratie zerstören, sondern im Gegenteil: Sie wollte das Weimarer System stärken und fortentwickeln.

The Russo-Ukraine War is a vital learning opportunity for military strategists across the globe. The first and clearest lesson to be gleaned from it is this: the soundness of a military’s strategy and the nimbleness with which it can adapt to unforeseen circumstances are the two most important factors in deciding victory or defeat. The War for Ukraine analyzes the war through these twin lenses of strategy and adaptation, detailing how each army has succeeded or failed to plan for and adapt to this twenty-first century war. Author Mick Ryan examines the foundations of Ukrainian and Russian strategy for their ongoing war, looking back over several decades to reveal how both sides have evolved their military strategy and force structure. Each has undertaken institutional-level reforms of their military and national security enterprises in the decade leading up to this war. But because the emergent behavior of military forces after fighting begins cannot be fully predicted, these prewar reforms only constitute a starting point for adaptation during the war. Part I of the book covers the role of strategic leadership, with a focus on evolution of strategy since February 2022. From there, the second part of the book delves into how the Ukrainians and Russians have adapted their tactics, organizations, operational approaches, and strategic foundations for war-making throughout the conflict. Central to this discussion are the ways that, regardless of cutting-edge technology, human elements have remained a crucial deciding factor in Ukraine. Ryan shows how good leadership allows a nation to navigate the ambiguity and uncertainty of conflict, while poor leadership leaves it vulnerable to surprises. Likewise, The War for Ukraine offers case studies of the importance of an institution’s ability to nurture and reward human learning as it relates to combat. The book provides strategists, policymakers, and military leaders with a basis from which to plan for constant adaption in military organizations. General readers of contemporary global conflict will also find The War for Ukraine of great interest.

See the Holocaust through the Eyes of Children. Stefan and Marion Hess's happy childhood was shattered in 1943. Torn from their home in Amsterdam, the six-year-old twins and their parents were deported to a place their mother called "this dying hell"—the infamous concentration camp at Bergen-Belsen. Inseparable is the vivid account of one family's struggle to survive the Holocaust. In the camp, the children ran from SS soldiers, making it a game to see who could get closest to the guard towers before being warned they would be shot. Stefan and Marion witnessed their father beaten beyond recognition, dodged strafing warplanes, and somehow survived in a place where "the children were looking for bread between the corpses." Above all, this is the unforgettable story of a young mother and father who were willing to sacrifice everything for their children. From the Hesses' prosperous pre-war life in Germany to their desperate ride in a bulletstrafed boxcar through the rubble of the collapsing Third Reich, Faris Cassell weaves Stefan and Marion’s personal memories and historical details into a gripping narration of their family’s heroic fight for their lives. As the number of Holocaust survivors dwindles, the Hess twins' account of their childhood ordeal forces the reader to grapple with pure evil. And more important, it is an opportunity to offer the most meaningful of tributes to victims and survivors of the Third Reich—remembrance.

“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.

This book was translated and published in more than 100 countries. The contents are highly controversial and uncompromising. It describes a monster that we, in all our ignorance, have created together. The first edition did not claim to be into futurism. However, a retrospective view of the events of the last twenty-five years shows that practically all topics mentioned in the book have come to fruition, often in an awesome manner.Like the first edition, this new updated edition is a very unique publication and reading it will undoubtedly change the way you look at both history and the world today. It completely turns everything on its head. Once you read it, all of a sudden you will see the world around you in infrared. You soon see things which are simply not possible to view with the range of standard vision.The contents of this book is highly controversial and uncompromising. It also serves to give us an idea of what's in store for the near future, so we can better prepare for what's coming our way. 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.

A pathbreaking look at Native women of the early South who defined power and defied authority “An artful, powerful book. . . . [A] substantial contribution to our knowledge of women in the so-called ‘forgotten centuries’ of European colonialism in the southeast.”—Malinda Maynor Lowery, author of The Lumbee Indians “A remarkable book. Alejandra Dubcovsky pursued relentless research to uncover the histories of women previously unseen, even unnamed. As Dubcovsky shows, they had names, they had families, they had lives that mattered. The historical landscape is transformed by their presence.”—Lisa Brooks, author of Our Beloved Kin Historian Alejandra Dubcovsky tells a story of war, slavery, loss, remembrance, and the women whose resilience and resistance transformed the colonial South. In exploring their lives she rewrites early American history, challenging the established male-centered narrative. Dubcovsky reconstructs the lives of Native women—Timucua, Apalachee, Chacato, and Guale—to show how they made claims to protect their livelihoods, bodies, and families. Through the stories of the Native cacica who demanded her authority be recognized; the elite Spanish woman who turned her dowry and household into a source of independent power; the Floridiana who slapped a leading Native man in the town square; and the Black woman who ran a successful business at the heart of a Spanish town, Dubcovsky reveals the formidable women who claimed and used their power, shaping the history of the early South.

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.

Laurent Dubois weaves the stories of slaves, free people of African descent, wealthy whites and French administrators into an unforgettable tale of insurrection, war, heroism and victory.

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.

Since the publication of the first edition of The Crusades: A Reader, interest in the Crusades has increased dramatically, fueled in part by current global interactions between the Muslim world and Western nations. The second edition features an intriguing new chapter on perceptions of the Crusades in the modern period, from David Hume and William Wordsworth to World War I political cartoons and crusading rhetoric circulating after 9/11. Islamic accounts of the treatment of prisoners have been added, as well as sources detailing the homecoming of those who had ventured to the Holy Land—including a newly translated reading on a woman crusader, Margaret of Beverly. The book contains sixteen images, study questions for each reading, and an index.

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.

Die deutsch-polnischen Beziehungen sind ein unverzichtbarer Bestandteil historisch-politischen Lernens in Schule, außerschulischen Bildungseinrichtungen und Lehrerbildung. Obwohl diese im Laufe der Geschichte nicht immer freundschaftlich waren – bedingt durch die Teilungen Polens Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts sowie die Ereignisse des Zweiten Weltkriegs, haben sich die Beziehungen seit 1989/90 positiv entwickelt. Die Autorinnen und Autoren des Bandes geben neue Impulse zu ausgewählten aktuellen gesellschaftspolitischen Themen, die für beide Länder eine Herausforderung darstellen. Visualisiert werden die theoretischen Texte mit Karikaturen, die sowohl in Polen als auch in Deutschland fester Bestandteil der Printmedien sind.

R. J. Mitchell at Supermarine is the definitive account of the life of Britain’s best-known aeronautical engineer. Shelton calls upon unpublished letters, extensive press accounts, and updated material from his previous publications, concentrating particularly on the harsh conditions of Mitchell’s apprentice years, the precarious state of the aircraft firm he joined, and moments of good fortune of which he took advantage. He was a ‘chancer’ as well as a methodical developer of, mainly, slow flying seaplanes. Mitchell’s progress from draughtsman, with no formal training in aeronautical design, to internationally known chief designer is charted through a chronological study of his designs, revealing a formidable work ethic with a complex personality that combined ‘dreams and common sense’. It will also be shown how the success of his high-speed Schneider Trophy designs propelled him reluctantly into public attention and how his anxiety for his pilots’ safety matched an equal concern that his designs should not let down an expectant nation. Later expectations on him to produce a ‘killer fighter’ were equally daunting, and the outcome was often uncertain, but details of colleagues’ accounts highlight the essential and unique contribution of R.J.’s experience and drive to the eventual appearance of the iconic Spitfire.

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.

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.

Nazi Nexus is the long-awaited wrap-up in a single explosive volume that details the pivotal corporate American connection to the Holocaust. The biggest names and crimes are all there. IBM and its facilitation of the identification and accelerated destruction of the Jews; General Motors and its rapid motorization of the German military enabling the conquest of Europe and the capture of Jews everywhere; Ford Motor Company for its political inspiration; the Rockefeller Foundation for its financing of deadly eugenic science and the program that sent Mengele into Auschwitz; the Carnegie Institution for its proliferation of the concept of race science, racial laws, and the very mathematical formula used to brand the Jews for systematic destruction; and others.

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.

Summoned from the Margin tells the story of Lamin Sanneh's fascinating journey from his upbringing in an impoverished village in West Africa to education in the United States and Europe to a distinguished career teaching at the Universities of Yale, Harvard, Aberdeen, and Ghana. He grew up in a polygamous household in The Gambia and attended a government-run Muslim boarding school. A chance encounter with Helen Keller's autobiography taught him that education and faith are the key to overcoming physical and personal hardship and inspired his journey. Burning theological questions about God's nature and human suffering eventually led Sanneh to convert from Islam to Christianity and to pursue a career in academia. Here he recounts the unusually varied life experiences that have made him who he is today. Watch the trailer:

“Aku” adalah seorang pemuda yang merantau dari Palembang ke Yogyakarta untuk melanjutkan studi. Keberangkatan itu tampak sederhana meski harus mengorbankan motor kesayangannya demi bekal awal. Setibanya di Jogja, ia tak menemukan apa pun yang istimewa sebagaimana yang kerap diceritakan oleh orang lain. Ia justru disambut oleh nyamuk, kelabang, kecoak, cacing, botol-botol bir yang berserak, makanan yang tak sesuai dengan lidahnya, bahasa yang asing, desahan dari kamar samping, dan hal-hal yang tak lumrah dalam kehidupannya yang lalu. Perlahan ia sadari, Jogja adalah sesuatu yang lain. Jogja adalah pembeda. Kota itu mempertemukannya dengan hal-hal kecil dalam hidup yang memaksanya untuk menengok kembali pandangan-pandangannya soal diri sendiri, soal relasi, soal masa depan, dan sekelilingnya. Ia mulai belajar mengumpat, ia mulai memahami keberadaan jalan hidup yang berbeda kutub dengannya. Di kampus, ia berkenalan dengan Penyair Kedung yang nyentrik; ia diajar oleh dosen yang selalu meminta kuliah di luar ruang kelas sambil merokok; ia mendapat kabar tentang dosen peleceh seksual dan hal-hal cabul tentangnya. Hari ini, dia mengenali keluguannya sendiri dan, setelah tahun-tahun berlalu, ia tak berubah dan masih selalu dikejutkan oleh kenangan tentang Jogja. * Pengantar Aku dan Jogja Pukul Dua adalah memoir karya Rizqi Turama, seorang penulis asal Palembang yang sempat mengenyam pendidikan di Yogyakarta. Dalam potongan kehidupannya selama di Jogja, dalam buku ini, dia bercerita bahwa dia menemukan banyak orang yang kejadian yang membentuk dirinya hari ini. Jogja adalah sesuatu yang lain. Jogja adalah pembeda.

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.

Buku ini merupakan satu usaha untuk memaparkan sejarah masyarakat India di Malaysia. Sebagai satu daripada kumpulan utama dalam masyarakat di Malaysia, orang India mempunyai jaluran sejarah yang panjang dan cukup unik dalam konteks perkembangan negara ini. Walau bagaimanapun, sehingga kini tidak banyak kajian diberikan kepada masyarakat ini yang terdiri daripada berbagai kelompok seperti masyarakat Tamil yang menjadi kelompok dominan dalam masyarakat India di Malaysia, mahupun kumpulan-kumpulan lain seperti masyarakat Sikh, Ceti, Chettiar dan India Muslim. Buku ini akan memberikan perhatian bukan sahaja mengenai asal-usul kedatangan masyarakat India, namun lebih penting lagi berbagai rupabentuk transformasi ekonomi, sosial dan politik yang berlaku kepada masyarakat ini sejak sekurang-kurangnya abad ke-19 hingga abad ke-20. Buku ini sangat sesuai untuk dijadikan bahan rujukan untuk pelajar di pusat pengajian tinggi yang mengikuti kursus mengenai masyarakat Malaysia, pembentukan negara mahupun sejarah masyarakat minoriti. Selain itu, buku ini juga sesuai untuk kegunaan golongan guru dan pendidik, pelajar-pelajar sekolah yang mengikuti pelajaran sejarah serta peminat sejarah Malaysia.

Riding five horses and leading five more, three young New York men, their guide, and a camp cook entered the untamed vastness of the Bitteroot Mountains. They expected the trip to be the adventure of a lifetime, but it was already September. As the hunters made their way up the Lolo Trail in 1893, they were unaware of the coming record snows that would trigger a cruel, controversial decision. Snowbound is the true story of the Carlin party, whose ill luck and bad judgment drove decent men to an ethical dilemma that intrigued the nation and can still raise an argument wherever people rub shoulders with wilderness. This gripping narrative is the story of a desperate struggle to get out of the mountains with a sick man and of the heroic efforts of various army units to rescue them. Ladd Hamilton has brought rich narrative detail and crackling tension to an intriguing episode in Northwest history. Hamilton gives flesh and bone to his characters, setting the reader down among them as they battle the elements and their own failures, caught between the imprisoning mountains and an unforgiving river.

"London and southern England has for weeks now been the target of our V1, which is only the first link in a chain of new and strongest German weapons." So wrote the editor of Der Adler, the "house" magazine of the Luftwaffe, in August 1944. The first of the German V-weapons had crashed on English soil two months before in the early hours of June 13, and for the next ten months Britain was subjected to a relentless bombardment from Hitler’s Vergeltungswaffen or "revenge weapons". Beginning with the V1 flying bombs, colloquially dubbed in Britain as "doodlebugs," thousands of which had to be fired from fixed sites in northern France, the V2 rocket had the advantage of being mounted on a mobile trailer so it could be launched from any level piece of ground. The first pair of over a thousand rockets, fired from a street corner in Holland, arrived like a double thunderclap on the evening of September 8. Heralding a new form of warfare in which there was no warning and no defense, nevertheless huge efforts had been made by the Royal Air Force and US Army Air Forces to blunt the threat of the new supersonic weapon. Based on a formerly classified RAF narrative, this book covers the detailed story, from the very first intelligence reports in 1943, through the various counter-measures carried out, both to mitigate manufacturing and destroy suspected V-weapon construction sites. Day-by-day listings are included covering the locations in Britain where every V1 was either destroyed or where they impacted, plus those for all the V2s. Illustrated with many censored photographs from the period, "then and now" comparisons bring history alive to illustrate the passage of time over the intervening years.

The Douglas F3D Skyknight was an early but effective attempt at combining new technologies together in a lethal package capable of shipboard operation. Whereas most fighters relied on speed and maneuverability, the portly, straight-winged F3D relied on three radars, four 20mm cannon, and – most importantly – darkness. Having first flown in March 1948, the Skyknight's first taste of war came in September 1952, when Marine Night Fighter Squadron 513 [VMF(N)-513] deployed to Korea. The most important job assigned to VMF(N)-513 was the escorting of USAF B-29 bombers over northern Korea. Whereas Chinese and North Korean MiG-15s relied on ground-controlled intercept radar for steering guidance into firing positions, the F3D, with its own onboard radars, was autonomously lethal – it could detect, track and target MiGs all on its own. Skyknight crews ended the Korean War with six nocturnal kills in exchange for one combat loss. After the war, 35 Skyknights were converted into electronic warfare (EW) aircraft. As US air operations over North Vietnam intensified in early 1965, the need for a tactical EW jet to provide electronic countermeasures (ECM) protection to accompany strike packages north became apparent. For all of its early effectiveness over North Vietnam, the proliferation of radar-guided guns and missiles began to erode the advantage created by EF-10 escort support, which flew its last combat mission in October 1969. This highly illustrated volume explores the F3D Skynights and their deployment during the Korean and Vietnam wars, using first-hand accounts from aircrew, original photographs and 30 profile artworks to explore their key roles as an escort aircraft and electronic warfare aircraft.

معنى السيرة النبوية: السيرة في اللغة: السنة والطريقة والهيئة. وفي الاصطلاح العام تعني ترجمة حياة شخص ما أو تاريخ حياته.وإذا أطلق لفظ السيرة إنما يراد بها ترجمة حياة النبي، بحيث أصبحت عَلَماً على علم قائم بذاته هو علم السيرة النبوية. وقد كان يطلق عليه المؤرخون المسلمون في فترة أسبق``علم المغازي والسير``. ويبين ذلك ما ورد في مقدمة كتاب السيرة النبوية لابن هشام فيقول: `` لفظتا المغازي والسير إذا أطلقتا فالمراد بهما عند مؤرخي المسلمين تلك الصفحة الأولى من تاريخ الأمة العربية صفحة الجهاد في إقامة صرح الإسلام، وجمع كلمة العرب تحت لواء الرسول، وما يضاف إلى ذلك من نشاط النبي ، وذكر آبائه وما سبق حياته من أحداث لها صلة بشأنه، وحياة أصحابه الذين أبلْوا معه في إقامة الدين`` Descriptor(s): BIOGRAPHY OF THE PROPHET | HIJRA

Witch? Sorceress? Daughter of Satan? Thief? Saint? Born in 1794, Marie Laveau reigned as the undisputed Queen of the Voodoos for nearly a century. Her beauty and powers were legendary, and caused her to be the subject of wild gossip throughout her life. She passed on her secrets to a favorite daughter, who helped her dominate the underworld of voodoo in New Orleans. "It is an absorbing tale, and the emotional undertones, the conflicts in her human relations, the overwhelming loneliness of her position, all come through the story of a strange life." Kirkus Reviews "The author creates a vivid, haunting atmosphere, which (like Marie's arts) holds the reader in spell. . . . an intriguing novel that is competently mounted and exceedingly well executed." New York Times

This book is a re-examination of the critic whose Congressional testimony sparked the Comics Code. Bart Beaty traces the evolution of Wertham's attitudes toward popular culture and reassesses his place in the debate about pop culture's effects on youth and society. When The Seduction of the Innocent was published in 1954, Wertham (1895-1981) became instantly known as an authority on child psychology. Although he had published several books before Seduction, its sharp criticism of popular culture in general--and comic books in particular--made it a touchstone for debate about issues of censorship, child protection, and freedom of speech. This book reinterprets his intellectual legacy and challenges notions about his alleged cultural conservatism. Drawing upon Wertham's published works as well as his unpublished private papers, correspondence, and notes, Beaty reveals a man whose opinions, life, and career offer more subtlety of thought than previously assumed. In particular, the book examines Wertham's change of heart in the 1970s, when he began to claim that comics could be a positive influence in American society.

Los avances científicos en todos los órdenes han traspasado fronteras y abierto horizontes apenas antes imaginables, hasta el punto de que puede hablarse de un nuevo paradigma en la concepción del mundo, lo que implica nuevas exigencias que atañen principalmente a la educación, al menos tal como la entiende el autor de este libro, Julio Ferreras. Lejos de cualquier idea reduccionista, particularista, relativista o sectaria, el autor aboga por una educación global en la que confluyan los diferentes modelos científicos, sin olvidar las llamadas ciencias del espíritu, pues el progreso no debe ser solo material, sino también mental y espiritual. Por diferentes caminos y desde capítulos aparentemente diversos, el pensamiento del autor se encamina hacia todo lo que supone integración, unidad y síntesis. Y siempre desde la reflexión personal, bien asentada sobre voces autorizadas que ayudan a consolidar en firme su propuesta.

The Hartford Whalers were a beloved hockey team from their founding in 1972 as the New England Whalers. Playing in the National Hockey League's smallest market and arena after the World Hockey Association merger in 1979, they struggled in a division that included both the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens--but their fans were among the NHL's most loyal. In 1995 new owners demanded a new arena and, when it fell through, moved the team to North Carolina, rebranding as the Hurricanes. Unlike fellow franchises that have folded or relocated with little fanfare, the Whalers' fan base stayed with the team, which remains as popular as ever. Even though more than two decades have come and gone since Connecticut's only professional sports team moved, nobody has truly forgotten the Whalers, their history, and their unique--and still highly profitable--logo. And while the NHL continues to thrive without them, their impact stretches far beyond the ice and into an entirely different cultural arena. Christopher Price grew up in Connecticut as a diehard Whalers fan, experiencing firsthand the team's bond with the community. Drawing from all aspects of the team's past, he tells the uncensored history of Connecticut's favorite professional sports franchise. Part sports history and part civic history, Bleeding Green shows vividly why the Whalers, despite an inglorious past and a future that unexpectedly vanished, remain firmly embedded in the American milieu and have had a lasting impact on not only the NHL but the sports landscape as a whole.

In an age of ethnic nationalism and anti-immigrant rhetoric, the study of refugees can help develop a new outlook on social justice, just as the post-war international order ends. The global financial crisis, the rise of populist leaders like Trump, Putin, and Erdogan, not to mention the arrival of anti-EU parties, raises the need to interrogate the refugee, migrant, citizen, stateless, legal, and illegal as concepts. This insightful Research Handbook is a timely contribution to that debate.

In this psychologically gripping memoir, Blake Allmendinger returns to his childhood home after a forty-year absence. His homecoming to the struggling farming community of Rocky Ford, Colorado, formerly known as the Melon Capital of the World, forces the author to confront his own sad and disturbing history, one that parallels his hometown’s decline. Allmendinger’s family was dominated by his emotionally and mentally unstable mother, who became depressed while living in Rocky Ford as a young woman. For the rest of her life she abused the members of her family, creating tensions that remained unresolved until the end of the author’s visit, when his mother died suddenly, a family member committed suicide, and a secret diary was discovered. The Melon Capital of the World is a remarkable blend of personal narrative, memoir, and Allmendinger’s interviews with people who knew his mother and her family. His story is a gritty but compassionate, and at times humorous, portrait of a family trying to survive in the rapidly disappearing rural American West.

El mundo es cada vez menos pobre en general: la verdadera crisis radica en unos 50 "estados fallidos", que suman unos mil millones de personas: esos mil millones que siempre están en la parte baja de todas las tablas. Con este libro, Collier arroja nueva luz sobre ese grupo de pequeñas naciones, a las que el mundo occidental deja "por imposibles" y que se enfrentan, en muchos casos, a una situación límite. Señala las trampas que les impiden superar sus problemas: guerras civiles, corrupción, excesiva dependencia de los recursos naturales, malas compañías de sus países vecinos...

Los antiguos filósofos tenían claro que el ideal de toda existencia humana es indudablemente la felicidad. Todos aspiran a este fin. Pero ¿qué es la felicidad? O, más aún, ¿cómo se consigue? A lo largo de la historia, cada cultura ha proyectado diferentes modelos de la misma, así como caminos seguros para alcanzarla. Utopías, ideologías, religiones y sistemas filosóficos han buscado de algún modo responder a esta exigencia humana. Generalmente esta variedad de tendencias vincula la felicidad al bien. Se es feliz si se opta por una vida buena. Ahora bien, ¿qué conforma este ideal llamado "vida buena"? Poco a poco, el pensamiento va ahondando en el interior del problema moral, y a la pregunta por la felicidad sigue la pregunta por el bien, y a esta última la pregunta por el bien verdadero. ¿Qué es el bien? ¿Es una realidad concreta y particular, o vaga y universal? Para que un individuo y una sociedad pueda vivir este ideal de felicidad entendida como "vida buena", es necesario confrontarse con el bien. Inmediatamente surgen en la conciencia esas dos preguntas radicales que nos hemos formulado: ¿Existe el bien? Y en segundo lugar: ¿Existe un "verdadero bien", o el bien es en sí subjetivo y lo hacemos verdadero nosotros según unos criterios determinados? Frente al peligro que en todas las épocas se cierne sobre las sociedades mediante las ideologías y las modas, este libro introduce al lector en el interesante mundo de la reflexión moral acerca del bien, su verdad y su conocimiento. Conforme avanza el recorrido que se va haciendo, se invita a todo el que considere estas cuestiones a pensar sobre la relación entre "vida buena, felicidad y virtud". A través de esta tríada subyace el fundamento de la quietud del corazón humano y, por ende, de las sociedades, de su equilibrio y auténtico progreso.

La deliberada desinformación sobre el TTIP, el secretismo y la falta de transparencia con que se están llevando a cabo las negociaciones por parte de las agencias gubernamentales, así como las consecuencias profundas que un tratado de tal envergadura suponen para nuestra sociedad, nuestra economía y nuestra soberanía –por no mencionar la falta de un análisis crítico por parte de la oficialidad negociadora–, hacen imprescindible un estudio a fondo de dicho tratado. Semejante análisis debe partir de un marco que tome en cuenta la globalización, el mundo y la sociedad actual, así como las políticas neoliberales que se nos imponen, para poder desvelar qué es en realidad el TTIP: una fase más del ciclo económico capitalista que lo tritura todo –derechos humanos, laborales y sociales; el medioambiente– en pos del beneficio. En el progreso del capitalismo, las instituciones y los aparatos políticos deben verse como agentes a su servicio: el papel que las instituciones europeas y norteamericanas desempeñan está subordinado a las necesidades de las empresas transnacionales, y la propia construcción europea obedece, a todas luces, a la implantación de acuerdos comerciales en beneficio de unos determinados intereses de clase. Por este motivo, el TTIP debe servirnos para rescatar del olvido herramientas teóricas del movimiento obrero, generar conciencia de clase y articular un movimiento internacional que se oponga al nuevo ciclo político y económico capitalista en que estamos inmersos.

Compiling for parallelism is a longstanding topic of compiler research. This book describes the fundamental principles of compiling regular numerical programs for parallelism. We begin with an explanation of analyses that allow a compiler to understand the interaction of data reads and writes in different statements and loop iterations during program execution. These analyses include dependence analysis, use-def analysis and pointer analysis. Next, we describe how the results of these analyses are used to enable transformations that make loops more amenable to parallelization, and discuss transformations that expose parallelism to target shared memory multicore and vector processors. We then discuss some problems that arise when parallelizing programs for execution on distributed memory machines. Finally, we conclude with an overview of solving Diophantine equations and suggestions for further readings in the topics of this book to enable the interested reader to delve deeper into the field. Table of Contents: Introduction and overview / Dependence analysis, dependence graphs and alias analysis / Program parallelization / Transformations to modify and eliminate dependences / Transformation of iterative and recursive constructs / Compiling for distributed memory machines / Solving Diophantine equations / A guide to further reading

Nachiketa was the son of Vajashravas, a poor but very ambitious Brahmin. Wanting to be famous as a daani, Vajashravas performed a great yajna in which he planned to give away many cows in daana. Unfortunately, all the cows were completely useless and emaciated. Noticing that anything given in daana must be of use to the receiver, Nachiketa was upset and asked his father to whom he planned to give his son away in daana. In anger, the father said that he would gift him to Yama. Taking his father’s words as gospel, Nachiketa left for Yama’s abode immediately, something that was unheard of. The father repented his anger and felt helpless. Finding that Lord Yama wasn’t there, he waited for him outside for three days without eating or drinking water. After Yama returned, he and his wife felt guilty for a brahmachari guest had been left unattended. In lieu of it, Yama asked the boy to ask for three boons. Nachiketa asked him to ensure that his father would not worry about him and would welcome him when he returned home. Next, Yama taught him Agnividya , which was the second boon. As the third boon, Nachiketa wanted to know about the Ultimate Truth – whether man exists after death. Yama was dumbfounded because this was a secret even the Devas were not aware of. How could a young boy be let into it? Yama tried to attract him with other gifts but the boy was very firm. Finally, Yama explained to him what Atma Vidya meant and was pleased to give him jnana deeksha. Nachiketa acquired Brahmavidya from the Lord of Death and then returned to his father who became his son’s disciple. This is the story of Nachiketa as it appears in the Kathopanishad.

This volume represents the results of the Sixteenth International Conference for Philosophy, Psychiatry and Psychology, entitled “Neuroscience, Logic and Mental Development”. This edited collection brings together selected plenary and keynote papers from the conference, and represents a major contribution to an interdisciplinary dialogue in mental health through the use of new philosophical tools, emerging from neuroscience, clinical psychology, phenomenology and epistemology. The papers gathered in this volume are divided into four parts, depending on their disciplinary paradigm. The papers included in Part I are focused on advances in neuroscience and neuroimaging as theoretical underpinnings for progress in psychiatric and psychological explanations. Special attention is paid here to the critical reappraisal of current approaches to the implementation of neuroscience in mental health. Some of these papers end with suggestions for modifications to contemporary research programs. The papers belonging to Part II contribute to the psychological understanding of mental disorders, particularly personality disorders. Parts III and IV trace the implications of phenomenology and epistemology for the improvement of an interdisciplinary pluralogue in psychiatry.

2023 Heartland Booksellers Award finalist Foreword INDIES Silver Winner in Autobiography and Memoir Winner of a 2023 Book of the Year Award from Chicago Writers Association If This Were Fiction is a love story--for Jill Christman's long-ago fiancé, who died young in a car accident; for her children; for her husband, Mark; and ultimately, for herself. In this collection, Christman takes on the wide range of situations and landscapes she encountered on her journey from wild child through wounded teen to mother, teacher, writer, and wife. In these pages there are fatal accidents and miraculous births; a grief pilgrimage that takes Christman to jungles, volcanoes, and caves in Central America; and meditations on everything from sexual trauma and the more benign accidents of childhood to gun violence, indoor cycling, unlikely romance, and even a ghost or two. Playing like a lively mixtape in both subject and style, If This Were Fiction focuses an open-hearted, frequently funny, clear-eyed feminist lens on Christman's first fifty years and sends out a message of love, power, and hope.

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.

If life in time is imminent and means an always open future, what role remains for the past? If time originates from that relationship to the future, then the past can only be a fictitious beginning, a necessary phantom of a starting point, a retroactively generated chronological period of "before." Advanced in philosophical thought of the last two centuries, this view of the past permeated the study on the Talmud as well, resulting in application of modern philosophical categories of the "thinking subject", subjectivity, and time to thinking about thinking displayed in the texts of the Talmud. This book challenges that application. Departing from the hitherto prevalent view of thinking in the Talmud in terms of anonymous thinking subjects, called "redactors" or "designer" of Talmudic discussions, the book reconsiders the modern reduction of the past to a chronological period in time, and reclaims the originary power (and authority) the past exerts in thinking and remembering displayed both in the conversations the characters in the Talmud have, and in the literary design of these conversations. Central for that task of reclaiming the radical role of the past are contrasting medieval notions of the virtual and their modern appropriations, thinking subject among them, which serve as both a bridging point and a demarcation between the practices of thinking of, and remembering, the past in the Talmud vis-a-vis other rhetorical and/or philosophical school and disciplines of thought. The Open Past suggests the possibility of understanding the conversations and the design of these conversations in the Talmud in terms of thinking in no time. This no time has several layers of meaning. In its weakest formulation, it means "in no single time" in the sense that the Talmudic conversations happen in no historically "real" time. More strongly put, it means, borrowing the language from film theory, that the Talmud requires a never consolidated difference between diegetical time, and the time of montage; which creates a no-one's time and place that in turn creates time and place for everyone else. Even more strongly, it means that performance of the conversations in the Talmud is constantly driven by, and towards, an always open past -- a power of that past is radically different from the power of either futuristic or chronological time.

25 years after the introduction of EU citizenship this book reconsiders its contradictions and constraints as well as promises and prospects. Analyzing a disputed concept and evaluating its implementation and social effects Reconsidering EU Citizenship contributes to the lively debate on European and transnational citizenship. It offers new insights for the ongoing theoretical debates on the future of EU citizenship – a future that will be determined by the transformative path the EU is going to take vis à vis the centrifugal forces of the current economic and political crisis.

This book examines the role of art in French philosopher Gilles Deleuze’s (1925–1995) late writings. Can works of art produce not only visual and spatial effects but also render ideas manifest? Can movement be treated in architecture so that it changes our relation to time? In what ways can sculpture help us to think differently, in a more open and creative way? In the last decade of his life, Deleuze wrote about these and other questions, increasingly turning to art as a model for a new way of thinking. Using examples from twentieth-century architecture, film, literature, painting and sculpture, this book follows Deleuze’s engagement with art to illustrate a new image of thought. This book is of interest to architects, artists and theorists and to those wishing to learn about Deleuze’s work and contemporary aesthetic practice and theory.

Ce livre s’intéresse à la jeunesse rurale au coeur du conflit sociopolitique ivoirien. Il s’appuie sur une enquête ethnographique menée dans les villages bété de la région de Gagnoa (2012-2018), dans le Centre-Ouest du pays. En suivant le parcours de nombreux jeunes gens qui ont quitté la ville pour s’installer dans leur village d’origine, Léo Montaz retrace l’émergence de la jeunesse comme catégorie politique dans cette région. Il interroge également les processus d’individualisation des jeunes ruraux, trop souvent renvoyés à la catégorie de cadets sociaux, et retranscrit les profonds bouleversements qu’ont connus les arènes villageoises sous les effets conjugués de la crise de l’économie de plantation, des tensions de l’ivoirité et des violences de guerre. Il analyse enfin la multiplicité des registres d’opposition mobilisés par ces jeunes, à l’échelle nationale comme micro-locale, en particulier les critiques de la gérontocratie, du clientélisme et des différents conservatismes qui régissent la vie politique ivoirienne. Léo Montaz propose ainsi une relecture de l’histoire et de la crise ivoiriennes sous l’angle des tensions intergénérationnelles au village. En étudiant les résistances et l’ambivalence du positionnement de la jeunesse, il montre la difficile quête d’émancipation des jeunes en Afrique.

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.

Gripping. . . . Lombardo's achievement is all the more striking when you consider the difficulties of his task. . . . [He] manages to be respectful of Homer's dire spirit while providing on nearly every page some wonderfully fresh refashioning of his Greek. The result is a vivid and disarmingly hardbitten reworking of a great classic. --Daniel Mendelsohn, The New York Times Book Review

This edition provides a new facing-page translation of an important Middle English alliterative poem, generally attributed to the author of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. A complex meditation on courtly and religious ideals, Cleanness has been praised for its densely figurative language, elaborate descriptive set pieces, and moving depictions of cosmic and human drama. More recently, the poem has also attracted attention for contributing to the history of sexuality in its comparatively frank discussion of sexual practices. Kevin Gustafson’s new translation captures the original’s poetic qualities while making the often difficult text accessible to modern readers. The facing-page format allows readers to experience the original alliterative Middle English and to compare the texts. Appendices include relevant verses from the Douay-Rheims Bible and excerpts from contemporary romances, chronicles, and theological writings.

While references to Robin Hood began to appear as early as the thirteenth century in legal records, the earliest surviving poems did not appear in manuscripts and early printed books until the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Several fourteenth-century allusions in the works of William Langland and Geoffrey Chaucer suggest that the rymes of Robyn Hood were widely circulating by the 1370s, but, it is vital to note, none of these late fourteenth-century works survives. A better approach, Thomas H. Ohlgren argues, is to focus on what has actually survived rather than on what might have existed. As a result, the poems Robin Hood and the Monk and Robin Hood and the Potter, which survive in two different Cambridge manuscripts of the last third of the fifteenth century, and A Lytell Geste of Robyn Hode, which was printed at least seven times in the sixteenth century, must receive pride of place in the canon because they have a physical reality as material artifacts - in short, they exist and provide valuable information about the places and times of their composition and dissemination.

This book is the first collection of essays on the British prose poem. With essays by leading academics, critics and practitioners, the book traces the British prose poem’s unsettled history and reception in the UK as well as its recent popularity. The essays cover the nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first centuries exploring why this form is particularly suited to the modern age and yet can still be problematic for publishers, booksellers and scholars. Refreshing perspectives are given on the Romantics, Modernists and Post-Modernists, among them Woolf, Beckett and Eliot as well as more recent poets like Seamus Heaney, Geoffrey Hill, Claudia Rankine, Jeremy Over and Vahni Capildeo. British Prose Poetry moves from a contextual overview of the genre’s early volatile and fluctuating status, through to crucial examples of prose poetry written by established Modernist, surrealist and contemporary writers. Key questions around boundaries are discussed more generally in terms of race, class and gender. The British prose poem’s international heritage, influences and influence are explored throughout as an intrinsic part of its current renaissance.

A Kossuth-díjas költő legújabb verseit tartja kezében az olvasó. Baranyi Ferencet indulása óta elsősorban közéleti költőnek tartja a közönség, bár ő maga inkább kedveli a „közszolgálati költő” kifejezést. Jelen verseit is a hazájáért és a nemzetéért érzett felelősség hatja át. Ostorozza, mert szereti a népét. Érte haragszik és nem ellene. Hat évtizedes pályafutása alatt a hatalmat is szigorúan bírálta mindig, ha erre okot adott. Ez most sincs másképpen. És mindezt közérthetően, a rá jellemző közvetlenséggel teszi. Azért a finom regiszterek sem idegenek tőle – ez is kiderül a kötetből.

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.

El poeta presenta su obra como el fruto de su primer error juvenil. La mayor parte de estas rimas giran en torno al amor de su musa Laura; salvo algunas de tema moral, religioso o político. La segunda parte del Cancionero (muerta ya su amada), se concluye con la canción A la Virgen, en la cual el poeta se dirige a María e implora perdón y protección. La presente edición incluye un amplio estudio sobre la época, vida y obra de Petrarca a cargo de Dionisio Ridruejo, así como una selección de los poemas más representativos del Cancionero, incluyendo baladas, canciones y sonetos, a cargo de Manuel Carrión (filólogo, Director de la Biblioteca Nacional).

(Eng) Posnaturalezas poéticas. Pensamiento ecológico y políticas de la extrañeza en la poesía latinoamericana contemporánea investigates the environmental, cultural and political significance of the postnatural turn in contemporary Latin American poetry. The postnatural is understood here not in apocalyptic terms but as the materials and views defying the nature-culture and human-nonhuman divide while linking the regional to the planetary. Attending to poetic estrangement, this book explores poetic experimentations with language, audiovisual, digital, and bio art in a postnatural horizon. From the air filled with asbestos in a factory in Santiago de Chile to the flames and ashes from a burning wetland in Cuenca Baja del Paraná, the poetry studied here stages the climate, sanitary, and social crises in Latin America under the expansion of neo-extractivism since the end of the XX century. How does poetry stage, resist, and intervene in these geological and atmospheric mutations? Through close analyses of poems by Carlos Soto-Román, Daniel Samoilovich, Verónica Gerber Bicecci, Santiago Acosta, Cecilia Vicuña, Roxana Miranda Rupailaf, Esthela Calderón, Eduardo Kac, Luigi Amara, Josely Vianna Baptista, and the collective poem Humedal, Azucena Castro shows how contemporary poetry interacts with ecocides in Indigenous territories, residues of oil production in petrostates, and monoculture in agriculture intensive lands. This book seeks to understand the role of poetic form in shaping, negotiating, and communicating environmental knowledge during the ongoing, profound, and accelerated transformations taking place in Latin America from the 1970s to the present. (Esp) Posnaturalezas poéticas. Pensamiento ecológico y políticas de la extrañeza en la poesía latinoamericana contemporánea investiga el significado medioambiental, cultural y político del giro posnatural en la poesía latinoamericana contemporánea. Lo posnatural no se entiende aquí en términos apocalípticos sino como las materias y visiones que desafían las dicotomías naturaleza-cultura, humano- no humano, al mismo tiempo que interconectan lo regional a lo planetario. Con atención en el extrañamiento poético, este libro explora las experimentaciones poéticas con el lenguaje, el audiovisual, lo digital y el bioarte en el horizonte posnatural. Desde el aire colmado de amianto en una fábrica en Santiago de Chile a las llamas y cenizas de un humedal ardiendo en la Cuenca Baja del Paraná, la poesía estudiada aquí escenifica las crisis ambientales, sociales y sanitarias en América Latina bajo la expansión del neo-extractivismo desde fines del siglo XX. ¿Cómo escenifica, resiste e interviene la poesía en las mutaciones geológicas y atmosféricas? A través de análisis cercanos de poemas de Carlos Soto-Román, Daniel Samoilovich, Verónica Gerber Bicecci, Santiago Acosta, Cecilia Vicuña, Roxana Miranda Rupailaf, Esthela Calderón, Eduardo Kac, Luigi Amara, Josely Vianna Baptista, y el poema colectivo Humedal, Azucena Castro muestra cómo la poesía contemporánea interactúa con los ecocidios en territorios indígenas, los residuos de la producción fósil en petroestados y los monocultivos en zonas de agricultura intensiva. Este libro busca comprender el rol de la forma poética en la elaboración, negociación y comunicación de conocimientos medioambientales durante las aceleradas y profundas transformaciones en curso que tienen lugar en América Latina desde 1970 al presente. Praise "En este exhaustivo estudio, Azucena Castro brillantemente demuestra cómo la poesía contemporánea latinoamericana emplea el extrañamiento para desmantelar las falsas dicotomías humano/nohumano y cultura/naturaleza. En cambio, a través de la lírica, los poetas analizados dan forma a lo posnatural: el planeta marcado indeleblemente por las actividades destructivas del capitalismo extractivo. Esta imbricación posnatural de lo humano y lo nohumano, Castro sostiene, es a su vez un umbral de peligros ominosos y de nuevas formas de convivencia. Las lecturas detalladas de Castro deslumbran y ponen de relieve la capacidad de la poesía como forma de responder a la crisis ambiental." –Carolyn Fornoff, autora de Subjunctive Aesthetics. Mexican Cultural Production in the Era of Climate Change "Posnaturalezas poéticas irrumpe en las humanidades ambientales con un ensamblaje entre objetos perturbadores: los escenarios residuales que deja el capital a su paso y la poesía del siglo XXI como discurso inespecífico que los explora. Aquí todas las existencias hablan, cuentan historias de tiempos remotos y su devenir en el contexto del capitalismo (neo)extractivo latinoamericano. Surge, así, una episteme más-que-humana para pensar, fuera de convenciones y binarismos, nuestra crisis ambiental." –Jorge Locane, autor de Miradas locales en tiempos globales. Intervenciones literarias sobre la ciudad latinoamericana "Con su escritura crítica diáfana y precisa, Azucena Castro ofrece un panorama de la lírica latinoamericana actual aunado a un verdadero estado de la cuestión ecocrítica. Un libro esperado y riguroso que da cuerpo a una poética en comunión con lo más que humano." –Héctor Hoyos, autor de Things with a History: Transcultural Materialism and the Literatures of Extraction in Contemporary Latin America "Este libro propone una indagación de la naturaleza después de la naturaleza, en tanto entramado de lo humano y lo no humano pero también de lo orgánico y lo inorgánico. Entre los ensamblajes recorridos por Azucena Castro, destaca el de la teoría y la poesía como un pensamiento y una política ecológica que permite abrir interrogantes tales como ¿qué le hacen el barroco y su sonido arborescente a la teoría?, ¿qué oído le pone el poema al mutismo del desastre?, ¿qué provoca lo ominoso en las hegemonías del discurso ambientalista? Aquí reside la potencia inusitada de su modo de leer." –Ana Porrúa, autora de Caligrafía tonal. Ensayos sobre poesía y editora de El jardín de los poetas. Revista de teoría y crítica de la poesía latinoamericana

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.

Hebrew culture experienced a renewal in medieval Spain that produced what is arguably the most powerful body of Jewish poetry written since the Bible. Fusing elements of East and West, Arabic and Hebrew, and the particular and the universal, this verse embodies an extraordinary sensuality and intense faith that transcend the limits of language, place, and time. Peter Cole's translations reveal this remarkable poetic world to English readers in all of its richness, humor, grace, gravity, and wisdom. The Dream of the Poem traces the arc of the entire period, presenting some four hundred poems by fifty-four poets, and including a panoramic historical introduction, short biographies of each poet, and extensive notes. (The original Hebrew texts are available on the Princeton University Press Web site.) By far the most potent and comprehensive gathering of medieval Hebrew poems ever assembled in English, Cole's anthology builds on what poet and translator Richard Howard has described as "the finest labor of poetic translation that I have seen in many years" and "an entire revelation: a body of lyric and didactic verse so intense, so intelligent, and so vivid that it appears to identify a whole dimension of historical consciousness previously unavailable to us." The Dream of the Poem is, Howard says, "a crowning achievement."

An eleventh century Persian mathematician and astronomer, Omar Khayyam is renowned in his own country for his scientific achievements, though he is chiefly known to English-speaking readers through Edward FitzGerald’s 1859 translation of ‘The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám’. A form of verse complete in four lines, employing a rhyme scheme, the ‘quatrain’ is close in style and spirit to the epigram. Each quatrain forms a complete poem in itself, as part of a continuous elegy with intellectual unity and consistency. Although they are extremely free translations, FitzGerald’s ingenious work exerts a compelling verve and succinctness. Having flourished a thousand years ago, Omar Khayyam can be seen as a kindred spirit to other poets that explore existential themes, while celebrating the beauty of the world. The Delphi Poets Series offers readers the works of literature’s finest poets, with superior formatting. This volume presents Khayyam’s collected poetical works, with related illustrations and the usual Delphi bonus material.

What is 'Wordsworthian' Romanticism and how did it evolve? This book argues that only by reading Charlotte Smith's poetry in tandem with William Wordsworth's can this question be answered, demonstrating their mutual contribution to the creation of the 'Wordsworthian', through literary analysis and historical contextualizing of their writings.

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.

In El Dorado, Peter Campion explores what it feels like to live in America right now, at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Splicing cell-phone chatter with translations of ancient poems, jump-cutting from traditional to invented forms, and turning his high-res lens on everything from box stores to trout streams to airport lounges, Campion renders both personal and collective experience with capacious and subtle skill.

Lección poética o Sátira contra los vicios introducidos en la poesía castellana, en tercetoses un poema satírico obra de Leandro Fernández Moratín. En él cuestiona los usos poéticos de ciertos autores españoles de su época. En esta obra critica a autores contemporáneos y pasados y expone su punto de vista sobre los géneros literarios, la lírica, la épica y el drama. Al hablar de la lírica se pronuncia contra la exageración. Ataca también las metáforas violentas, las redundancias, los juegos de palabras, los equívocos, la vulgaridad, el uso de cultismos (que aprovecha para atacar a Góngora) y los arcaísmos. La censura moratiniana no solo revisa de manera negativa el pasado Barroco español y a los seguidores modernos del mismo. Critica a los poetas que contemporáneos suyos que usaban arcaísmos y galicismos. A la vez, esta Lección poética defiende su estética neoclásica, que es su interpretación personal de las ideas teóricas que Moratín leyó en Horacio, Boileau y, sobre todo, en la Poética de Luzán y sus continuadores dieciochescos.

This book is designed for those that desire a closer relationship and fellowship with the Father. As the reader reads this poetry, we feel once they grasp the idea to look at our Father and not the situation(s) they may face, they will find that God is a way maker and in his presence there is peace. So many times in life, we awake in a strange land; meaning, this is a new place in our lives and/or families, we are not sure how we got here or how to get back to that first love, which is God. We can have all of those things that God has designed; all we have to do is to ask. We communicate with our Father when we read, pray, fast, talk, and sing to him. Giving a total submission to God and allowing him to shine through our being, readers will find that when God has our undivided attention, how he turns a bad situation to a glorified project for his kingdom. When we dont communicate with God, we experience separation, and this makes us feel that God is far away from us and perhaps we may even feel that he has given up on us. This is the flesh and carnal nature talking to us, based on our emotions. God is with us even when we hit the bottom.

This book presents a historically and critically nuanced study of George Herbert's biblical poetics. Situating Herbert's work in the context of shifting ideas of biblical mystery, Gary Kuchar shows how Herbert negotiated two competing impulses within post-reformation thought—two contrary aspects of reformation spirituality as he inherited it: the impulse to certainty, assurance, and security and the impulse to mystery, wonder, and wise ignorance. Through subtle and richly contextualized readings, Kuchar places Herbert within a trans-historical tradition of biblical interpretation while also locating him firmly within the context of the early Stuart church. The result is a wide ranging book that is sure to be of interest to students and scholars across several different fields, including seventeenth-century studies, poetry and the bible, and literature and theology.

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.

There is a deeper reality at play than the current one most of us occupy and perceive, and the inner self has direct access to it through openness, insight, dreams, meditation, and attention. Through this delightfully eclectic collection of poems, one writer’s desire to understand, experience, and express the essence of life is revealed. Find within these pages the space to begin a journey of your own: the space to rest, to ask questions, to heal and to come alive. In the end, all remains a mystery. The exciting thing is to learn all we can and to explore.

Bertoni nos deslumbra con una personalísima y selecta recuperación antológica de poemas fechados entre los años 70 y principios del siglo XXI. Muerte, ciudades, amigos y viajes, grandes y breves sentencias que nos vuelven a sorprender con su humor e ironía: “cuando piden sangre en la tele/ yo no voy/ esperando que otros vayan/ y ni siquiera espero que otros vayan/ en verdad pienso que no va nadie/ y que piden sangre por las puras/ para que después no digan/ que la tele no ayuda/ que la gente no ayuda/ que el país no ayuda".

Anfang des 19. Jhdts. erlebte der Orientalismus in der deutschen Literatur eine kurze, aber üppige Blütezeit. Während Goethe im West-östlichen Divan lediglich die Themen orientalischer Dichtung aufgriff und Rückert die Verse des Hafis nachdichtete, wollte Platen die komplexe Gedichtform des persisch-arabischen Ghasels der deutschen Literatur einverleiben. Damit geriet er zwischen die Fronten des romantisierenden Orientalismus und der erstarkenden Nationalliteratur. Aus heutiger Sicht erscheint die orientalische Bildervielfalt des Ghasels nicht mehr als "undeutsche" Oberflächlichkeit, sondern als kraftvolle Alternative zum deutschen Ideal der geschlossenen lyrischen Szene, die es verdient, endlich unvoreingenommen betrachtet zu werden. Ihre Besonderheiten analysiert Ramin Shaghaghi in seinem Nachwort. Dieser Band enthält den kompletten Text der drei Buchausgaben aus den Jahren 1821 und 1823 und ermöglicht so, Platens "Ghaselen-Projekt" mit allen Höhen und Tiefen nachzuvollziehen.

The poet Miyazawa Kenji (1896-1933) was an early twentieth-century Japanese modernist who today is known worldwide for his poetry and stories as well as his devotion to Buddhism. Miyazawa Kenji: Selections collects a wide range of his poetry and provides an excellent introduction to his life and work. Miyazawa was a teacher of agriculture by profession and largely unknown as a poet until after his death. Since then his work has increasingly attracted a devoted following, especially among ecologists, Buddhists, and the literary avant-garde. This volume includes poems translated by Gary Snyder, who was the first to translate a substantial body of Miyazawa’s work into English. Hiroaki Sato’s own superb translations, many never before published, demonstrate his deep familiarity with Miyazawa’s poetry. His remarkable introduction considers the poet’s significance and suggests ways for contemporary readers to approach his work. It further places developments in Japanese poetry into a global context during the first decades of the twentieth century. In addition the book features a Foreword by the poet Geoffrey O’Brien and essays by Tanikawa Shuntaro, Yoshimasu Gozo, and Michael O’Brien.

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

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.

यह कोई न्यूज़ हैडलाइन नहीं है और ना ही किसी शेर का मुखड़ा बल्कि यह तो हमारी सामाजिक दिनचर्या में होने वाली उन घटनाओं का अवलोकन है जिसे मैंने महसूस किया और इस पर मंथन करने के बाद जो मेरे मन ने कहा उसे कलमबद्ध किया हूं। जब इंसान इंसानियत से हटकर या पाखंडवाद का शिकार होकर मानवता की सेवा को भूलकर सिर्फ पत्थरों में भगवान ढूंढने की कोशिश करता है और इंसान जरूरतों को नजरअंदाज करता है तो वहीं से जन्म होता है सामाजिक विडंबना का। मैं इन समस्त कविताओं को इसलिए नहीं लिखा कि किसी के दिल को ठेस पहुंचे बल्कि इसलिए लिखा कि हमारे समाज में जो धर्म के नाम पर पाखंड करते हैं अपने आप को इंसान कहते हैं, अपने आपको समाज सेवक कहते हैं उन्हें एक बार अपने मन की आंखें खोलने की जरूरत है और मन की आंखों से देखने की जरूरत है तब जाकर दूर होंगे हमारे समाज की भ्रांतियां और समाजिक विडंबनाएं।

Os poemas de rio pequeno, quarto livro do poeta e tradutor floresta, compõem uma espécie de romance de formação, passeando por temas, lugares e questões constitutivas: a casa da infância, a família, os amores, o tempo, as descobertas e redescobertas do corpo e do erotismo. O título do livro se refere ao distrito Rio Pequeno, zona oeste da cidade de São Paulo. Região historicamente banhada por águas, hoje tem muito de seus córregos concretados ou transformados em esgotos a céu aberto. Ação que cobra seu preço na época das chuvas, provocando enchentes. Assim, entre a imagem da água como nascimento e da água como transbordamento, floresta – uma caneta bic em mãos – controla a força das águas e, ao mesmo tempo, rompe seus diques. Nas páginas de rio pequeno, as formas poéticas ganham força e se metamorfoseiam. Resistem à constância da violência histórico-social e, sobretudo, põem em prática modos de vida que desarticulam processos hegemônicos de representação e opressão. Pelo poder das águas, o neto se transforma na avó alagoana e o lugar de origem se converte na figura de um tempo circular e afrodiaspórico. Pelo poder das águas, o pequeno se transforma em grande e o poema e o amor se convertem em práticas politicamente revolucionárias.

Quem são os verdadeiros americanos? Sofisticados moradores de Nova York ou jecas da "América profunda"? Intelectuais vencedores do prêmio Nobel ou truculentos senhores da guerra? Para uns, os Estados Unidos da América são um paradigma da modernidade, para outros, um monstro tentacular imperialista. Gostemos ou não, os americanos são importantes. E muito. Todos os dias eles bombardeiam o mundo com filmes, séries de tv, hambúrgueres e Coca-Cola. Suas músicas são ouvidas em todos os continentes. Seus ícones transformaram-se em símbolos mundiais e o inglês é uma espécie de língua franca universal. Qual a origem da autoconfiança e soberba dos americanos? E mais: como esse gigantesco vizinho do norte se tornou o que é, rico e poderoso? Com texto denso, brilhante e provocativo, o historiador Antonio Pedro Tota rastreia origens, costumes e paradoxos desse povo, desde o início até a eleição do primeiro presidente negro. Fala também de expansionismo, anos dourados, guerras, escândalos, jazz, cinema e muito mais. Leitura fascinante. A coleção Povos e Civilizações apresenta ao público brasileiro a personalidade e a diversidade de povos, nacionalidades ou etnias, suas culturas, hábitos, costumes e até estereótipos particulares. Cada autor conhece de perto seu tema e traduz com graça e elegância o espírito do povo retratado. As obras são enriquecidas por muitas imagens, em belas edições.

Who can say what the night might bring? Fireworks and frivolity? A party? Music and dancing? The night is where we have the most fun. Or you could be reading in bed, between clean sheets, before falling into deep restful sleep and sweet dreams. And who knows? The night might bring romance, or love or sex, if you play your cards right. Or the night could be where we work. Millions of people do. If everyone slept all night, Britain would cease to function. Or the night could be indifferent; cold, haunted, inhuman. When you look up into the night sky, you see that you are nothing. An insignificant mote of dust. Or the night could be all too human.Hen parties in skimpy dresses and fairy wings are being slammed into the back of a police van. Prostitutes walk the streets; business men go to lap dancing clubs to forget what waits at home. On an after-hours journey around the British Isles - investigating nightingales in the Cotswolds, meteors in Shropshire, dog-racing in Belfast, a service station in Lancaster and Bonfire celebrations in East Sussex - Ian Marchant sets out to discover the different ways that we while away that half of our lives normally spent in darkness.

2022 Silver Midwest Book Award Winner At the sound of the bell on the last day of kindergarten, B.J. Hollars and his six-year-old son, Henry, hop in the car to strike out on a 2,500-mile road trip retracing the Oregon Trail. Their mission: to rediscover America, and Americans, along the way. Throughout their two-week adventure, they endure the usual setbacks (car trouble, inclement weather, and father-son fatigue), but their most compelling drama involves people, privilege, and their attempt to find common ground in an all-too-fractured country. Writing in the footsteps of John Steinbeck's Travels with Charley, Hollars picks up the trail with his son more than half a century later. Together they sidle up to a stool at every truck stop, camp by every creek, and roam the West. They encounter not only the beauty and heartbreak of America, but also the beauty and heartbreak of a father and son eager to make the most of their time together. From Chimney Rock to Independence Rock to the rocky coast of Oregon, they learn and relearn the devastating truth of America's exploitative past, as well as their role within it. Go West, Young Man recounts the author's effort to teach his son the difficult realities of our nation's founding while also reaffirming his faith in America today.

More than a cookbook, In Late Winter We Ate Pears is a love affair with a culture and a way of life. In vignettes taken from their year in Italy, husband and wife Caleb Barber and Deirdre Heekin offer glimpses of a young, vibrant Italy: of rolling out pizza dough in an ancient hilltown at midnight while wild dogs bay in the abandoned streets; of the fogged car windows of an ancient lovers' lane amid the olive groves outside Prato.The recipes in In Late Winter We Ate Pears are every bit as delicious as the memories. Selections such as red snapper with fennel sauce, fresh figs with balsamic vinegar and mint, and frangipane and plum tart capture the essence of Italy. Following the tradition of Italian cuisine, the 80 recipes are laid out according to season, to suggest taking advantage of your freshest local ingredients.Whether you are an experienced cook looking for authentic Italian recipes or a beginner wanting to immerse yourself in the romance of a young couple's culinary adventure, In Late Winter We Ate Pears provides rich sustenance in the best tradition of travel and food writing.Cheers to Chef Barber and writer Deirdre Heekin for sharing these marvelous recipes from Osteria Pane e Salute (Pane translates as bread and Salute as health) and for sharing the story of a most inspired year spent in Italy. In Late Winter We Ate Pears is a testament that bread and health are the things that make a good life.

A fun reference book for all things Boston; complete with info graphics and glossary of the terms and “slang” that makes Bostonians unique. The book will include historical facts and references of the words’ origins. The book will also include landmarks, both historic and cultural, and why they’re so important to the city. The goal is to create a book for all ages to reference whether they’ve been to Boston once, lived here their whole life, or just plan to visit one day. Boston has a lot of universal references throughout pop culture and this book will be the go-to resource for people to learn more, get a laugh, and understand the people of Boston. We are working out the organization, but it will be broken into categories For example, the weather pages would begin with a few pages with some fun facts about the weather in Boston, some general weather humor info and then it will go into different anecdotes and slang explanations related to the the weather. Ex. Muggie, Scortcha, Wintah, Wicked Humid, etc… Each anecdote page will be then be accompanied by some fun facts related to the slang term. Scortcha: Anytime the weather in Boston is over 90 degrees, you will hear someone say "It's a Scortcha out there.” This is what we call hazy, hot, & humid! On a scortcha of a day a typical Bostonian would visit Dunks for an "Iced" an extra time or two, anyone with a pool will be getting a message asking "What are you doing today", and social media will be full of photos showing temperature gauges inside cars (unless you drive a "beater", they don't usually have temperature gauges).

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.

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.

Kumpulan dari hasil-hasil melihat, mengamati, menunggu, dan meng’klik’ tombol rana kamera di beberapa jalanan, sudut kota, dan di keriuhan suasana kota-kota yang pernah saya kunjungi akhirnya dapat terseleksi dan terhimpun menjadi kumpulan karya-karya fotografi berjudul Streetscenes Photography. Karya-karya ini merupakan hasil pengalaman perekaman melihat hal-hal yang mungkin belum pernah dialami oleh setiap orang, dan kali ini ingin saya bagikan agar bisa juga dilihat oleh lebih banyak lagi orang. Dengan harapan tentu agar dapat ‘memperkaya’ sekaligus mengapresiasi pengalaman visual yang sudah ada. Untuk memberikan nilai tambah sebagai sumbang-saran bagi kepentingan ranah visual akademis, maka kehadiran buku foto ini juga disertai beberapa tulisan yang cukup bernas dari para pengamat, penyuka, dan praktisi fotografi yang membahas dan menyoroti tema fotografi jalanan ini. Harapannya tiada lain adalah untuk melengkapi ‘hidangan fotografi’ yang tidak hanya bernuansa visual sahaja, tetapi juga disemarakkan dengan untaian materi wacana tekstual bagi pencapaian pemenuhan hasrat kenikmatan fotografis yang total. Kedua materi visual dan tekstual fotografis tersebut merupakan paduan coequal entities yang saling melengkapi dalam ranah kesetaraan disiplin kekayaan wacana akademis. – Soeprapto Soedjono A collection from the results of noticing, watching, waiting, and clicking the camera shutter button on some streets, city corners, and in the hustle and bustle of the cities I had visited finally got selected and assembled into a collection of street-themed works titled Streetscenes Photography. These works are the result of the recording experience of seeing things everyone had never experienced before, and this time I want to share them so that more people can see it too. I hope the course could ‘enrich’ as well as appreciate the existing visual experience. To provide added value as a contribution to the interests of the academic visual domain, the presence of this photo book is also accompanied by some pretty pithy writings from observers, enthusiasts, and photography practitioners who discuss and highlight the theme of street photography. The hope is none other than to complement the ‘photographic dish’ which is not only visually nuanced but also enlivened with textual material threads to achieve the fulfillment of total photographic pleasure desire. Both the visual and textual materials of the photographs are complementary coequal entities in the realm of the equality of the discipline of the richness of academic discourse. – Soeprapto Soedjono

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.

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.

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

Ao completar 50 anos, Joel Kriger recebeu um convite que mudou sua vida: um trekking até o acampamento-base da montanha mais alta do mundo, o Everest. Era apenas uma caminhada de poucas semanas, mas Joel avaliou, corretamente, que para dar conta do desafio, precisava recuperar um pouco da forma física que tinha quando competia natação na adolescência, esporte que largou ao seguir a engenharia e desenvolver carreira em informática. Conhecer o Everest deu um click na cabeça do engenheiro. Ele imaginou voltar e subir até o cume da montanha. Mais do que isso: entrou para o time de montanhistas que buscam alcançar o ponto mais alto de cada continente, enfrentar os sete cumes. A mudança foi mais profunda do que somente tomar gosto pelo montanhismo. Dotado de muito entusiasmo e perseverança, Joel entrou seriamente no circuito de competições de Natação master e expandiu seus horizontes com travessias marítimas, corridas, triatlos, incluindo o Iron Man. Já conseguiu atravessar o Canal da Mancha em equipe, mas ainda sonha em fazer a travessia sozinho. O livro Suba, nade, corra, pedale e aproveite a paisagem, conta em detalhes as aventuras, as curiosidades e os perrengues que Joel Kriger viveu em cada montanha. Só no Everest, a única que falta pra fechar os sete cumes, foram três tentativas.

Antifragile is a standalone book in Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s landmark Incerto series, an investigation of opacity, luck, uncertainty, probability, human error, risk, and decision-making in a world we don’t understand. The other books in the series are Fooled by Randomness, The Black Swan, Skin in the Game, and The Bed of Procrustes. Nassim Nicholas Taleb, the bestselling author of The Black Swan and one of the foremost thinkers of our time, reveals how to thrive in an uncertain world. Just as human bones get stronger when subjected to stress and tension, and rumors or riots intensify when someone tries to repress them, many things in life benefit from stress, disorder, volatility, and turmoil. What Taleb has identified and calls “antifragile” is that category of things that not only gain from chaos but need it in order to survive and flourish. In The Black Swan, Taleb showed us that highly improbable and unpredictable events underlie almost everything about our world. In Antifragile, Taleb stands uncertainty on its head, making it desirable, even necessary, and proposes that things be built in an antifragile manner. The antifragile is beyond the resilient or robust. The resilient resists shocks and stays the same; the antifragile gets better and better. Furthermore, the antifragile is immune to prediction errors and protected from adverse events. Why is the city-state better than the nation-state, why is debt bad for you, and why is what we call “efficient” not efficient at all? Why do government responses and social policies protect the strong and hurt the weak? Why should you write your resignation letter before even starting on the job? How did the sinking of the Titanic save lives? The book spans innovation by trial and error, life decisions, politics, urban planning, war, personal finance, economic systems, and medicine. And throughout, in addition to the street wisdom of Fat Tony of Brooklyn, the voices and recipes of ancient wisdom, from Roman, Greek, Semitic, and medieval sources, are loud and clear. Antifragile is a blueprint for living in a Black Swan world. Erudite, witty, and iconoclastic, Taleb’s message is revolutionary: The antifragile, and only the antifragile, will make it. Praise for Antifragile “Ambitious and thought-provoking . . . highly entertaining.”—The Economist “A bold book explaining how and why we should embrace uncertainty, randomness, and error . . . It may just change our lives.”—Newsweek

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.

Written over two and a half millennia ago, the Xueji (On Teaching and Learning) is one of the oldest and most comprehensive works on educational philosophy and teaching methods, as well as a consideration of the appropriate roles of teachers and students. The Xueji was included in the Liji (On Ritual), one of the Five Classics that became the heart of the educational system during China's imperial era, and it contains the ritual protocols adopted by the Imperial Academy during the Han dynasty. Chinese Philosophy on Teaching and Learning provides a new translation of the Xueji along with essays exploring this work from both Western and Chinese perspectives. Contributors examine the roots of educational thought in classical Chinese philosophy, outline similarities and differences with ideas rooted in classical Greek thought, and explore what the Xueji can offer educators today.

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.

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.

Globalization and climate weirding are two of the leading phenomena that challenge and change the way we need to think and act within the planetary community. Modern Western understandings of human beings, animals, and the rest of the natural world and the subsequent technologies built on those understandings have thrown us into an array of social and ecological crises with planetary implications. Earthly Things: Immanence, New Materialisms, and Planetary Thinking, argues that more immanent or planetary ways of thinking and acting have great potential for re-thinking human-technology-animal-Earth relationships and for addressing problems of global climate weirding and other forms of ecological degradation. Older and often-marginalized forms of thought from animisms, shamanisms, and other religious traditions are joined by more recent forms of thinking with immanence such as the universe story, process thought, emergence theory, the new materialisms (NM’s), object-oriented ontologies (OOO’s), affect theory, and queer theory. This book maps out some of the connections and differences between immanent frameworks to provide some eco-intellectual commons for thinking within the planetary community, with a particular emphasis on making connections between more recent theories and older ideas of immanence found in many of the world’s religious traditions. The authors in this volume met and worked together over five years, so the resulting volume reveals sustained and multifaceted perspectives on “thinking and acting with the planet.”

“A little masterpiece of originality and clarity.”—George Steiner “A necessary book.”—Roberto Saviano “A wonderful little book that will delight you.”—François Busnel International Best Seller / Now in English for the First Time In this thought-provoking and extremely timely work, Nuccio Ordine convincingly argues for the utility of useless knowledge and against the contemporary fixation on utilitarianism—for the fundamental importance of the liberal arts and against the damage caused by their neglect. Inspired by the reflections of great philosophers and writers (e.g., Plato, Dante, Montaigne, Shakespeare, Borges, and Calvino), Ordine reveals how the obsession for material goods and the cult of utility ultimately wither the spirit, jeopardizing not only schools and universities, art, and creativity, but also our most fundamental values—human dignity, love, and truth. Also included is Abraham Flexner’s 1939 essay “The Usefulness of Useless Knowledge,” which originally prompted Ordine to write this book. Flexner—a founder and the first director of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton—offers an impassioned defense of curiosity-driven research and learning.

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.

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.

A collection of teachings on the practice of meditation by twelve contemporary Buddhist masters from Southeast Asia—curated by the author of A Path with Heart In this book, Jack Kornfield presents the heart of Buddhist practice as taught by twelve highly respected masters from Southeast Asia. These renowned teachers offer a rich variety of meditation techniques: the practices include traditional instructions for dissolving the solid sense of self, for awakening insight, for realizing Nirvana, and for cultivating compassion for all beings. Jack Kornfield’s first three chapters give an overview of Buddhist philosophy and, specifically, the meditation practices of Burma, Thailand, and Laos. The teachings in this volume are from Achaan Chaa, Mahasi Sayadaw, Sunlun Sayadaw, Achaan Buddhadasa, Achaan Naeb, Achaan Maha Boowa, Tuangpulu Sayadaw, Mohnyin Sayadaw, Mogok Sayadaw, U Ba Khin, Achaan Dhammadaro, and Achaan Jumnien.

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—.

This book brings together essays that demonstrate the art of argument evaluation. The essays apply a variety of theoretical approaches to specific, historically-situated arguments in order to render a specific normative judgment. By bringing to bear knowledge of argumentation theory along with expertise pertaining to the specific arguments under investigation, this book illustrates the utility of argument evaluation as a discrete mode of scholarly engagement.

Exploring the silence of prayer in Post-Kantian philosophy and traditional spirituality A Philosophy of Prayer explores prayer within the perspective of post-Kantian philosophy. Against a background of traditional sources, including Augustine, The Cloud of Unknowing, and the seventeenth-century French school of spirituality, the book uses Schleiermacher, Kierkegaard, Dostoevsky, Heidegger, Berdyaev, Tillich, Marcel, Simone Weil, Emmanuel Levinas, and Jean- Louis Chrétien to provide an interpretation of what is meant by the passivity and self-annihilation of the praying self, suggesting an “apophatics of the personality.” Pattison pays particular attention to the question of language and the implications of the role given to silence in traditional texts, arguing that language remains a defining element of the human–God relationship and that silence is not to be construed as the negation of language but as the revelation of the depth of language itself. The basic structure of prayer is shown to be implicitly eschatological, oriented toward a coming kingdom of justice and peace while, at the same time, expressing a deep desire for ontological homecoming, a tension manifest in, respectively, Levinas and Heidegger. On Pattison’s reading, prayer calls for and develops a particular orientation of the self toward existence, corresponding to the virtue of humility, long understood as the basic Christian virtue. This is shown to be in tension with modernity’s commitment to strong versions of autonomy. However, the choice of humility is not presented as the reinstatement of religious heteronomy but as a free choice of the praying self.

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.

A renowned scholar argues that liberal hegemony—the policy America has pursued since the Cold War ended—is doomed to fail Named a Financial Times Best Book of 2018 “Idealists as well as realists need to read this systematic tour de force.”—Robert D. Kaplan, author of The Return of Marco Polo’s World It is widely believed in the West that the United States should spread liberal democracy across the world, foster an open international economy, and build international institutions. The policy of remaking the world in America’s image is supposed to protect human rights, promote peace, and make the world safe for democracy. But this is not what has happened. Instead, the United States has become a highly militarized state fighting wars that undermine peace, harm human rights, and threaten liberal values at home. In this major statement, the renowned international-relations scholar John Mearsheimer argues that liberal hegemony—the foreign policy pursued by the United States since the Cold War ended—is doomed to fail. It makes far more sense, he maintains, for Washington to adopt a more restrained foreign policy based on a sound understanding of how nationalism and realism constrain great powers abroad. The Great Delusion is a lucid and compelling work of the first importance for scholars, policymakers, and everyone interested in the future of American foreign policy.

Seit Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts nehmen Konflikte um Land und Ressourcen in vielen lateinamerikanischen Ländern stark zu. Dieses Phänomen einer vermehrt neo-extraktivistisch orientierten Politik bedroht insbesondere Gebiete, in denen indigene Gemeinschaften leben. Im Kontext des indigenen Filmschaffens sind derartige Konflikte daher ein zentrales Thema. Wie werden Machtverhältnisse, unterschiedliche territoriale Vorstellungen und Mensch-Umwelt-Beziehungen hier verhandelt? Teresa Millesi analysiert eine Auswahl von Filmen unter Einbezug raumwissenschaftlicher und ökokritischer Ansätze. Im Zentrum steht dabei die Bedeutsamkeit der Filme als Widerstandspraxis gegen die nationalstaatliche Hegemonie.

Er det sandt, at oplysning forer lige fra den franske revolution til nutidens demokrati? Ikke, hvis man sporger modoplysningen, som denne bog beskriver: Oplysningsfilosofien perverterer det, der gor livet stabilt og sandt, den forvandler mennesket til noget monstrost, friheden til trAeldom og terror - og fornuften til ufornuft.Modoplysningen er bade en radikal form for oplysningskritik og navnet pa en historisk periode, der strAekker sig over artierne for, under og efter den franske revolution. Denne bog giver for forste gang pa dansk et prAecist billede af modoplysningen - og rummer nyoversatte primAertekster af de tre centrale modoplysningstAenkere Edmund Burke, Joseph de Maistre og Juan Donoso Cortes.Oplysningsprojektet er i dag under angreb fra mange sider - lige fra radikal islamisme, konservativ nationalisme og new age-bevAegelser til filosofiske modestromninger. Men oplysningen er altid blevet sagt imod, og skal vi forsta modoplysningen ogsa i dens nutidige former, ma vi kende dens idehistorie. Det er den, der fortAelles i Fornuftens perversion.

“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.

"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.

How do participatory museum projects with forced migrants impact both the museum and the participants? What happens during these projects and what is left of them afterwards? Based on interviews with museum practitioners, facilitators and project participants, Susanne Boersma brings together unique insights into museum work with forced migrants. Her study of participatory projects in Germany, the Netherlands and the UK reveals museums' limiting infrastructures, the shortcomings of their ethical frameworks, and the problems of addressing forced migrants as 'communities'. Outlining the diverging objectives, experiences and outcomes of participatory projects, she suggests how these might be united in practice.

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.

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.

This volume brings together scholars working in diverse traditions of the humanities in order to offer a comprehensive analysis of the environmental catastrophe as the modern-day apocalypse. Drawing on philosophy, theology, history, literature, art history, psychoanalysis, as well as queer and decolonial theories, the authors included in this book expound the meaning of the climate apocalypse, reveal its presence in our everyday experiences, and examine its impact on our intellectual, imaginative, and moral practices. Importantly, the chapters show that eco-apocalypticism can inform progressively transformative discourses about climate change. In so doing, they demonstrate the fruitfulness of understanding the environmental catastrophe from within an apocalyptic framework, carving a much-needed path between two unsatisfactory approaches to the climate disaster: first, the conservative impulse to preserve the status quo responsible for today’s crisis, and second, the reckless acceptance of the destructive effects of climate change. This book will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars interested in the contributions of both apocalypticism and the humanities to contemporary ecological debates.

One of the most significant texts by W.W. Atkinson, Mastery of Being: A Study of the Ultimate Principle of Reality and the Practical Application Thereof breaks into three parts the principles of reality, including atoms, the spirit, and physical manifestation. He uses theories and popularly accepted ideology to prove that reality is true, and uses his ideology to describe how we can apply reality to life, and become "masters of being." American writer WILLIAM WALKER ATKINSON (1862-1932) was editor of the popular magazine New Thought from 1901 to 1905, and editor of the journal Advanced Thought from 1916 to 1919. He authored dozens of New Thought books under numerous pseudonyms, including "Yogi," some of which are likely still unknown today.

The first edition, published by Acumen in 2000, became a prescribed textbook on modal logic courses. The second edition has been fully revised in response to readers' suggestions, including two new chapters on conditional logic, which was not covered in the first edition. "Modal Logics and Philosophy" is a fully comprehensive introduction to modal logics and their application suitable for course use. Unlike most modal logic textbooks, which are both forbidding mathematically and short on philosophical discussion, "Modal Logics and Philosophy" places its emphasis firmly on showing how useful modal logic can be as a tool for formal philosophical analysis. In part 1 of the book, the reader is introduced to some standard systems of modal logic and encouraged through a series of exercises to become proficient in manipulating these logics. The emphasis is on possible world semantics for modal logics and the semantic emphasis is carried into the formal method, Jeffrey-style truth-trees. Standard truth-trees are extended in a simple and transparent way to take possible worlds into account. Part 2 systematically explores the applications of modal logic to philosophical issues such as truth, time, processes, knowledge and belief, obligation and permission.

Silver Medalist, 2020 Independent Publisher Book Awards in the Religion (Eastern/Western) Category This groundbreaking book explores Buddhist thought and culture, from multiple Buddhist perspectives, as sources for feminist reflection and social action. Too often, when writers apply terms such as "woman," "femininity," and "feminism" to Buddhist texts and contexts, they begin with models of feminist thinking that foreground questions and concerns arising from Western experience. This oversight has led to many facile assumptions, denials, and oversimplifications that ignore women's diverse social and historical contexts. But now, with the tools of feminist analysis that have developed in recent decades, constructs of the feminine in Buddhist texts, imagery, and philosophy can be examined—with the acknowledgment that there are limitations to applying these theoretical paradigms to other cultures. Contributors to this volume offer a feminist analysis, which integrates gender theory and Buddhist perspectives, to Buddhist texts and women's narratives from Asia. How do Buddhist concepts of self and no-self intersect with concepts of gender identity, especially for women? How are the female body, sexuality, and femininity constructed (and contested) in diverse Buddhist contexts? How might power and gender identity be perceived differently through a Buddhist lens? By exploring feminist approaches and representations of "the feminine," including persistent questions about women's identities as householders and renunciants, this book helps us to understand how Buddhist influences on attitudes toward women, and how feminist thinking from other parts of the world, can inform and enlarge contemporary discussions of feminism.

Die Analyse und Vermittlung von literarischen Texten des frühen 19. Jahrhunderts birgt Potenziale im Hinblick auf den Umgang mit Diversität, Zugehörigkeit und Ausgrenzung. Die Beiträger*innen fragen danach, wie kulturelle Vielfalt in der musealen sowie der literaturwissenschaftlichen Praxis zu kritischen Reflexionen und zu neuen Perspektiven auf kanonisierte Gegenstände führt. Im Zentrum steht dabei das Interesse an den Optionen der Darstellung von Diversität im Literaturmuseum und in der Literaturwissenschaft. Der Band führt theoretische und praktische Zugriffe zusammen und arbeitet somit auch an einer methodisch-theoretischen Vielfalt.

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.

Why Political Science Classics Collection is so important? In today’s world, providing quality training for the younger generation at colleges and universities is of primary importance. But higher education is not enough. Any graduate is first and foremost a citizen of his nation. He has the right to be an actor in the political life of his society. The political changes taking place today in the modern world are dependent on the civic stance of each person. In this way, a serious challenge facing the world system of higher education is to educate citizens who are capable of navigating and influencing the modern political processes in his country. Youth today actively participate in campaigns carried out by political parties and community organizations. However, it is impossible to develop conditions which foster a civic position without the existence of a political culture. In today’s global community, facing growing pressures of political extremism and radicalism, knowledge of basic political science principles should help students develop a democratic ethos and foster qualities, such as political tolerance, compromise, and cooperation, while learning to express and defend their interests in a civilized manner. The foundation of political science lies in the accumulated knowledge of mankind. This collection was compiled as an aid to college and university students. Each included piece is required reading at some of the best universities on the planet including: Harvard, Princeton, Yale, and Columbia Universities, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, among others. This collection includes works famous authors: Sun Tzu - The Art of War Lao Tzu - Tao Te Ching Plato - The Republic Marcus Aurelius - The Meditations Niccolo Machiavelli - The Prince Thomas More - Utopia Thomas Paine - Common Sense John Stuart Mill - Utilitarianism, Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels - The Communist Manifesto Vladimir lenin - The State and Revolution

Although educated and trained for a career in the clergy, Samuel Butler began to harbor serious doubts about his vocation and Christian morals in general at an early age. Although he addressed these issues in earnest debate with his colleagues and family members, Butler's confusion only worsened over time. He began to explore his concerns about Victorian-era hypocrisy in writing, penning a series of philosophically minded novels and social satires, The Fair Haven among them, several of which would not see publication until after Butler's death in 1902.

Estado de excepción enfoca una de las nociones centrales de la obra de Agamben: ese momento del derecho en el que se suspende el derecho, precisamente para garantizar su continuidad e inclusive su existencia; ese lapso –que se supone provisorio– en el cual se suspende el orden jurídico y que se ha convertido durante el siglo XX en forma permanente de gobierno. Agamben hace una reconstrucción histórica de la noción de estado de excepción, analiza su sentido en la política occidental y reflexiona sobre su vigencia en la actualidad

This modern-day commentary on Dogen’s Instructions for a Zen Cook reveals how everyday activities—like cooking—can be incorporated into our spiritual practice In the thirteenth century, Zen master Dogen—perhaps the most significant of all Japanese philosophers, and the founder of the Japanese Soto Zen sect—wrote a practical manual of Instructions for the Zen Cook. In drawing parallels between preparing meals for the Zen monastery and spiritual training, he reveals far more than simply the rules and manners of the Zen kitchen; he teaches us how to "cook," or refine our lives. In this volume Kosho Uchiyama Roshi undertakes the task of elucidating Dogen's text for the benefit of modern-day readers of Zen. Taken together, his translation and commentary truly constitute a "cookbook for life," one that shows us how to live with an unbiased mind in the midst of our workaday world.

Platone ha inventato un grande rimedio per la follia: la ragione! In questo breve, denso e illuminante saggio, Umberto Galimberti muove dai Greci per giungere fino a noi e alla relazione che ci costituisce. Il Simposio, il più bel testo che mai sia stato scritto sull'amore, ci guida ancora a scoprire la mediazione che l'amore realizza tra la follia e la ragione. È attraverso l'amore che entriamo in contatto con la nostra follia: ci innamoriamo, infatti, proprio di chi è riuscito a intercettarla e a presentarla a noi stessi. A differenza dell'amicizia, l'amore crea una situazione di possessione, che non siamo capaci di governare e in cui a parlare è il corpo, non più il linguaggio della ragione.

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.

Isaac of Stella was an English-born Cistercian who studied in the schools before entering monastic life and becoming abbot of Stella in 1147. His liturgical sermons inject a speculative philosophical inquisitiveness into imaginative meditations on scenes from Scripture. This present volume includes sermons 27–55, along with three fragments. In these sermons, while treating biblical passages corresponding to the major feasts of the Christian calendar, Isaac tackles weighty dogmatic issues such as predestination, the problem of evil, and Christ’s two natures.

Mani Erfan grew up in Iran, but with the help of his father’s courageous actions, he avoided conscription in the Iranian military and, in 1983, was given the opportunity to come to the United States and study to become an engineer. In 1987, Mani gave his life to the Lord through a unique experience at a Christian businessman’s meeting. Within a few days of accepting Jesus as his Savior, unexpected money showed up in Mani’s bank account, a court case was dropped, and he was reinstated at his job. While working at a successful recycling company, the Lord spoke to Mani and told him to quit his job and start a catalyst company, UNICAT. It was a risky endeavor, and Mani had to trust the Lord to carry his family through as he tried to launch and grow his new business. While working hard to start UNICAT, God spoke to Mani again, promising him that one day, Muslims from the Middle East would pay for him to preach Christianity to followers of Islam. Sure enough, the money Mani uses to help fund his ministry comes directly from Muslim business customers of a consulting company he founded. Through the pages of True Wealth, Mani expands upon what God has done in his life, and he demonstrates the importance of obeying the voice of the Lord, even when you don’t understand why the Spirit is directing you to do something. Today, Mani lives out the principle that, for Christian businesspeople, the goal of gaining wealth and market share is not to stockpile money for personal, frivolous use, but to use the income that God provides to impact the world for the kingdom of God.

Now featuring a new introduction by Dr. M. Scott Peck, the twenty-fifth anniversary edition of the classic bestseller The Road Less Traveled, celebrated by The Washington Post as “not just a book but a spontaneous act of generosity.” Perhaps no book in this generation has had a more profound impact on our intellectual and spiritual lives than The Road Less Traveled. With sales of more than seven million copies in the United States and Canada, and translations into more than twenty-three languages, it has made publishing history, with more than ten years on the New York Times bestseller list. Written in a voice that is timeless in its message of understanding, The Road Less Traveled continues to help us explore the very nature of loving relationships and leads us toward a new serenity and fullness of life. It helps us learn how to distinguish dependency from love; how to become a more sensitive parent; and ultimately how to become one’s own true self. Recognizing that, as in the famous opening line of his book, “Life is difficult” and that the journey to spiritual growth is a long one, Dr. Peck never bullies his readers, but rather guides them gently through the hard and often painful process of change toward a higher level of self-understanding.

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.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! President Trump's nominee for Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has written a revolutionary road map to saving our children from leftist indoctrination. Behind a smokescreen of “preparing students for the new industrial economy,” early progressives had political control in mind. America’s original schools didn’t just make kids memorize facts or learn skills; they taught them to think freely and arrive at wisdom. They assigned the classics, inspired love of God and country, and raised future citizens that changed the world forever. Today, after 16,000 hours of K-12 indoctrination, our kids come out of government schools hating America. They roll their eyes at religion and disdain our history. We spend more money on education than ever, but kids can barely read and write—let alone reason with discernment. Western culture is on the ropes. Kids are bored and aimless, flailing for purpose in a system that says racial and gender identity is everything. Battle for the American Mind is the untold story of the Progressive plan to neutralize the basis of our Republic – by removing the one ingredient that had sustained Western Civilization for thousands of years. Pete Hegseth and David Goodwin explain why, no matter what political skirmishes conservatives win, progressives are winning the war—and control the “supply lines” of future citizens. Reversing this reality will require parents to radically reorient their children’s education; even most homeschooling and Christian schooling are infused with progressive assumptions. We need to recover a lost philosophy of education – grounded in virtue and excellence – that can arm future generations to fight for freedom. It’s called classical Christian education. Never heard of it? You’re not alone. Battle for the American Mind is more than a book; it’s a field guide for remaking school in the United States. We’ve ceded our kids’ minds to the left for far too long—this book gives patriotic parents the ammunition to join an insurgency that gives America a fighting chance. Whether you're a conservative looking to push back against the progressive agenda or simply someone who cares about the education of our children, this book is for you.

La oración no es algo que se pueda definir como único, sino como una actividad del espíritu humano, con muchos enfoques. Dado el tiempo en el que vivimos, creemos que sirve como un órgano de identificación. A través de la oración, el Espíritu Santo nos permite identificar aquellas situaciones del ser interior que están sujetas a la vida del espíritu, y aquellas que no lo están, sabiendo que, si tenemos vida, nuestro ser está en una actividad permanente de resurrección en Cristo. Por todo esto, en este nuevo libro, Victorias espirituales en el alma 2, encontraremos la necesidad imperiosa de una Iglesia cuyos miembros expresen a Jesucristo en sus vidas. Permanecer en esta actividad del espíritu —la oración—, nos posibilitará reconocer, para luego desecharlos de nuestra vida, los grandes enemigos de la madurez espiritual, como lo son la falsa devoción, la insurrección y la hipocresía, la democracia y un enemigo poco conocido, pero muy extendido: el menosprecio por la Casa de Dios. Este libro nos ayudará a detectar las actitudes negativas (que se vuelven nuestras enemigas), tales como no usufructuar la ley de la libertad en Jesucristo, o no aprovechar la intervención de las personas correctas, que obren en los momentos oportunos para la edificación del Cuerpo.

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.

“Hanya orang yang berusahalah yang akan memiliki kekayaan. Tapi, orang berusaha melalui jalan tepat lebih berpotensi memiliki kekayaan.

Exploring the silence of prayer in Post-Kantian philosophy and traditional spirituality A Philosophy of Prayer explores prayer within the perspective of post-Kantian philosophy. Against a background of traditional sources, including Augustine, The Cloud of Unknowing, and the seventeenth-century French school of spirituality, the book uses Schleiermacher, Kierkegaard, Dostoevsky, Heidegger, Berdyaev, Tillich, Marcel, Simone Weil, Emmanuel Levinas, and Jean- Louis Chrétien to provide an interpretation of what is meant by the passivity and self-annihilation of the praying self, suggesting an “apophatics of the personality.” Pattison pays particular attention to the question of language and the implications of the role given to silence in traditional texts, arguing that language remains a defining element of the human–God relationship and that silence is not to be construed as the negation of language but as the revelation of the depth of language itself. The basic structure of prayer is shown to be implicitly eschatological, oriented toward a coming kingdom of justice and peace while, at the same time, expressing a deep desire for ontological homecoming, a tension manifest in, respectively, Levinas and Heidegger. On Pattison’s reading, prayer calls for and develops a particular orientation of the self toward existence, corresponding to the virtue of humility, long understood as the basic Christian virtue. This is shown to be in tension with modernity’s commitment to strong versions of autonomy. However, the choice of humility is not presented as the reinstatement of religious heteronomy but as a free choice of the praying self.

Summoned from the Margin tells the story of Lamin Sanneh's fascinating journey from his upbringing in an impoverished village in West Africa to education in the United States and Europe to a distinguished career teaching at the Universities of Yale, Harvard, Aberdeen, and Ghana. He grew up in a polygamous household in The Gambia and attended a government-run Muslim boarding school. A chance encounter with Helen Keller's autobiography taught him that education and faith are the key to overcoming physical and personal hardship and inspired his journey. Burning theological questions about God's nature and human suffering eventually led Sanneh to convert from Islam to Christianity and to pursue a career in academia. Here he recounts the unusually varied life experiences that have made him who he is today. Watch the trailer:

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!

God's word illumines the darkness of society. Groen van Prinsterer's Unbelief and Revolution is a foundational work addressing the inherent tension between religion and modernity. As a historian and politician, Groen was intimately familiar with the growing divide between secular culture and the church in his time. Rather than embrace this division, these lectures, originally published in 1847, argue for a renewed interaction between the two spheres. Groen's work served as an inspiration for many contemporary theologians, and as a mentor to Abraham Kuyper, he had a profound impact on Kuyper's famous public theology. Harry Van Dyke, the original translator, reintroduces this vital contribution to our understanding of the relationship between religion and society.

Wusstest du, dass Gottes Wort zu jedem Bereich unseres Lebens etwas zu sagen hat? Das trifft auch auf die Ehe zu. Und so wie die Apostel die ersten Christen immer wieder an die Grundlagen des Glaubens erinnerten, so müssen auch christliche Ehepaare regelmäßig an die Grundlagen einer biblischen Ehe erinnert werden. Ganz gleich, ob ihr verlobt, frisch verheiratet oder schon ein erfahrenes Team seid – dieses Buch kann eure Ehe erfrischen und stärken. Martha Peace und John Crotts behandeln in diesem Buch kurz und prägnant neunzehn Bereiche der Ehe. Sie zeigen auf, was die Bibel dazu lehrt, und stellen einige eindringliche Fragen, die euch helfen können, eure Ehe neu an der Heiligen Schrift auszurichten. • Welche Rollen und Aufgaben hat Gott für die Ehe vorgesehen? • Wie sehen Liebe und Respekt in der Ehe aus? • Wie können wir gemeinsam Prüfungen begegnen? • Wie kann unsere Ehe Gott verherrlichen? Dieses Buch ist ermutigend, herausfordernd und lebensverändernd, und es stellt Gott in das Zentrum der Ehe. Lest es gemeinsam, studiert die Themen darin und betet darüber. Das Evangelium hat die Kraft, jede Ehe so zu verändern, dass Gott durch sie geehrt wird.

In "On the Holy Spirit," Basil the Great presents a profound theological treatise that intricately explores the nature, role, and divinity of the Holy Spirit within the framework of Christian orthodoxy. Written in the 4th century, this seminal work offers a dialectical style that weaves together philosophical rigor and pastoral sensitivity. Basil skillfully engages with contemporary theological debates, drawing upon scriptural exegesis and the wisdom of early Church Fathers to articulate a robust doctrine that emphasizes the Holy Spirit's essential role in the Trinity and the life of the believer, thereby positioning this work as a pivotal contribution to the Nicene theology. Basil of Caesarea, a leading figure in early Christian thought and a prominent Bishop, was significantly influenced by the socio-political context of his time, including the Arian controversy that questioned the divinity of the Holy Spirit. His extensive ecclesiastical experience and commitment to the Nicene Creed empowered him to address these emergent theological challenges, ultimately shaping the understanding of the Holy Spirit as central to Christian doctrine and spiritual practice. "On the Holy Spirit" is recommended for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of Trinitarian theology and the early Church's struggles. Basil's insights remain relevant, making this work essential for theologians, clergy, and lay readers alike who wish to explore the complexities of faith and spirituality in the Christian tradition.

In "The Blessed Eucharist," Father Michael Mueller describes how Christ's love for us moved Him to create this most beautiful Sacrament. He explains why Our Lord veils Himself in the appearance of bread - a garment so humble He is little known, little loved even neglected and insulted. Fr. Mueller helps the reader discover what a treasure the Sacrament is, sharing countless compelling accounts of miracles involving the Eucharist, quotations from Scripture and the Saints reflecting the virtues that can be obtained from Communion worthily received and the consequences of an unworthy reception of Our Lord. He instructs the reader on how to best prepare for receiving the Sacrament, and how to properly offer thanksgiving afterwards. "The Blessed Eucharist" awakens a deeper awareness of the incredible gift that God has given us in His Presence in the Eucharist, allowing us to embrace all the wondrous fruits this Sacrament has to offer.

Conscious Contact with God is a new paraphrase of the Psalms that reflects the experience of addiction and living in recovery. It will speak powerfully to anyone who shares those experiences and struggles to find God present in the midst of them. Ideal for personal prayer, reflection, and meditation, as well as for praying and reflecting in groups, these thoughtful and inspiring texts are rich in the vocabulary and vision of the Twelve Steps. This new resource fills a gap that has unfortunately existed until now for anyone addicted to alcohol, drugs, food, sex, or other substances or experiences. Here they will find compassion, understanding, and strength.

“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.

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.

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

Contains writings from three different stages of Cardinal Walter Kasper’s theological journey. They seek to open up the gospel of Jesus Christ in a way that is intelligible to today’s readers. The works are: “An Introduction to the Faith,” “Surpassing All Knowledge,” and an original essay on evangelization, “New Evangelization as a Theological, Pastoral, and Spiritual Challenge.”

This book offers an intelligent but accessible recovery of the Christian hope for heaven and the resurrected life. Our ideas of heaven often need rescuing from the well-meaning but often empty sense of a “better-place.” It is more fruitful, the author argues, to orientate ourselves by St. Paul’s words: “For this world is not our permanent home; we are looking forward to a home yet to come.” Each of us desires Eden while struggling to make good out of evil. The things we cherish have their goodness diluted and drained of life. Through it all, we cannot quite picture heaven and our eternal happiness. It feels remote and unreal. Yet the recovery of paradise in our hearts and minds is the crucial act of our lives. Through it we can understand the meaning behind the greatest commandment: “Love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.”

Silver Medalist, 2020 Independent Publisher Book Awards in the Religion (Eastern/Western) Category This groundbreaking book explores Buddhist thought and culture, from multiple Buddhist perspectives, as sources for feminist reflection and social action. Too often, when writers apply terms such as "woman," "femininity," and "feminism" to Buddhist texts and contexts, they begin with models of feminist thinking that foreground questions and concerns arising from Western experience. This oversight has led to many facile assumptions, denials, and oversimplifications that ignore women's diverse social and historical contexts. But now, with the tools of feminist analysis that have developed in recent decades, constructs of the feminine in Buddhist texts, imagery, and philosophy can be examined—with the acknowledgment that there are limitations to applying these theoretical paradigms to other cultures. Contributors to this volume offer a feminist analysis, which integrates gender theory and Buddhist perspectives, to Buddhist texts and women's narratives from Asia. How do Buddhist concepts of self and no-self intersect with concepts of gender identity, especially for women? How are the female body, sexuality, and femininity constructed (and contested) in diverse Buddhist contexts? How might power and gender identity be perceived differently through a Buddhist lens? By exploring feminist approaches and representations of "the feminine," including persistent questions about women's identities as householders and renunciants, this book helps us to understand how Buddhist influences on attitudes toward women, and how feminist thinking from other parts of the world, can inform and enlarge contemporary discussions of feminism.

El Libro de los Médiums trata sobre la mediumnidad, facultad que permite la comunicación entre los hombres y los Espíritus de los llamados muertos. Allan Kardec fue el primero en estudiar la mediumnidad con seriedad y método científico y ha volcado en este libro las enseñanzas de los Espíritus sobre las clases de manifestaciones espirituales, los medios de comunicación con el mundo invisible, los diversos tipos de médiums, el desarrollo de la mediumnidad, el rol de los médiums y la influencia moral del médium, entre muchas otras apasionantes cuestiones.

De lectura y consulta indispensable para los espíritas, es también una valiosa fuente de conocimiento para cualquier persona que se interese por el fenómeno mediúmnico y para todos aquellos que estén en condiciones de ver y observar los fenómenos espíritas, sea cual fuere la religión que profesen, pues representa el más completo y seguro tratado de Espiritismo experimental publicado hasta hoy.

"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.

Sam and Colby’s vacation in paradise goes from enchanting, to weird, to deadly, when Trey, an old acquaintance, insists they can’t leave without a visit to the legendary Nā Pali Coast. 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.

Bingung bercampur panik, kututup kotak itu. Namun, sejak saat itu pula aku dipertemukan dengan si lelaki bermasker hitam, Alto Rialtiorre.

Kami adalah satu, dan aku harus bersatu dengan Kaum Pelindung untuk mengalahkan Para Pengkhianat. Aku, Zarra Mediana, bersama permata merah, kini hidupku berubah.

Thirteen-year-old Travis has a secret: he can't read. But a shrewd teacher and a sassy girl are about to change everything in this witty and deeply moving novel. Travis is missing his old home in the country, and he’s missing his old hound, Rosco. Now there’s just the cramped place he shares with his well-meaning but alcoholic grandpa, a new school, and the dreaded routine of passing when he’s called on to read out loud. 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.

"There are wonders and terrors out there you can't yet imagine, and people out there you don't yet know are family." I don't mix well with people; I prefer the birds. I spend my time trying to find the Trickster—a finch treasured by the locals. My smart mouth, brash behavior, and being non-binary in this secluded southern town keep me on the periphery of Spastoke's society. Fine by me. All I need are the birds and my uncle Jeremy. Until he dies, and I can't do anything to stop it. I want to withdraw from the town into the comfort of birdwatching and forget everything. Instead, Adrian Turney, my uncle's friend and mentor, is found dead in the woods. My only hope of unravelling the truth is Jethro; a chatty newcomer that appears earnest, but can I trust him? When my uncle appears to me in my dreams, I quickly learn what started as a search for answers is so much more: a journey into the town's shady past to uncover a danger in the woods lost to time. Along the way, I might discover I'm not alone as I thought. --- "...Not only is it a cleverly written mystery with gripping twists and turns and compelling characters, it's also full of heart. Reading this book feels like having someone wrap a warm blanket around your shoulders and tell you that everything will be all right." -Rita A. Rubin, Author of Amulet of Wishes

"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. Enjoy it." ★★★★★ Keywords: fantasy, urban fantasy, urban fantasy romance, royal fantasy, fantasy romance, royal romance, epic fantasy romance, clean ya fantasy, contemporary fantasy, ya contemporary fantasy, ya fantasy romance, teen fantasy romance, teen fantasy, teen urban fantasy, game of thrones, series starter, first in series, complete series, urban fantasy series, binge a fantasy series, books for teens, best books for teenagers, best book for my kid, clean fantasy, ya game of thrones, for fans of Victoria Aveyard, for fans of Tahereh Mafi, for fans of Sarah J.

Тресс живе на острові посеред моря. Вона має звичку пити солоний чай із горняток, у тріщинках і щербинках яких ховається історія. А ще Тресс любить людей. І зовсім не засмучується, якщо вони багато говорять і часом незлостиво брешуть, як-от її друг Чарлі. Та одного дня Чарлі залишає острів, бо має оженитися на принцесі. Не з власної волі, а з політичних міркувань. Проте згодом виявляється, що сталося лихо. Усім байдуже, що Чарлі може загинути. Усім, окрім Тресс. Та чи готова дівчина облишити спокійне життя й вирушити в небезпечну морську подорож, де кожна крапля води несе смертельну загрозу? Детальніше про книгу Книга «Тресс зі Смарагдового моря» — це фентезі-пригоди відважної жительки острова Тресс від американського письменника Брендона Сандерсона. Життя дівчини на острові серед смарагдового океану просте: колекціонувати чашки, привезені моряками з далеких країн, пити солоний чай з горняток у тріщинках і слухати історії свого друга, сина герцога Чарлі. Звичний плин днів змінюється. Тресс закохується в Чарлі, та батько юнака незадоволений цим: син має укласти політично вигідний шлюб. Коли ж парубок відбуває з острова одружуватись із принцесою, виявляється, що з ним сталась біда, на яку всім байдуже. Тому Тресс лишає свій спокій, колекцію неймовірних чашок з тріщинками, рушаючи у подорож на пошуки Чарлі серед просторів Смарагдового моря. Чи ж впорається дівчина з таким випробуванням? Кожна крапля води — смертельна небезпека. Кожен незнайомець — потенційна пригода або ж нова можливість потрапити в полон невідомого. Young Adult роман у всесвіті Космер Історію «Тресс зі Смарагдового моря» Брендон Сандерсон розповідає немов казку: химерну, чудернацьку морську пригоду зі всесвіту Космер, що, втім, не потребує читання інших текстів для повного розуміння сюжету. Колоритних персонажів і морських просторів, які долатиме Тресс, сповна розкриває текст, а особливо доповнюють ілюстрації: витончені малюнки Говарда Лайона зроблять цю подорож захопливою у квадраті. Сімнадцятирічна Тресс живе на острові посеред Смарагдового моря. Вона працює мийницею вікон, любить збирати чашки з історією, готує смачну їжу й спілкується з другом Чарлі, що радує незлостивими побрехеньками й цікавими байками. Друзі вдають нібито Чарлі — це садівник герцога, але насправді парубок і є сином герцога. Між ними — особливий зв’язок з легенд про кожну чашку з колекції Тресс, іронічного флірту й очевидної закоханості, у якій ніхто не зізнається вголос. Та час підліткових пустощів закінчується: син герцога мусить пов’язати життя з гідною партією, а не мийницею вікон (хай і неймовірною красунею). Чарлі з батьком рушає у подорож на пошуки дружини. Обраниця то повертається, однак нареченого замінили іншим! Дізнавшись, у пазурях якої небезпеки опинився друг, Тресс збирається його рятувати. З цими благородними намірами головне не загинути самій: Смарагдове море складається зі спор, доторк до яких викликає смерть. «Tress of the Emerald Sea» — це чарівна казка про пригоди химерних героїв, хоробрість, силу дружби й знань, страх, життєвий досвід і боротьбу. Переконані, головна героїня підкорить ваше серце спочатку наївністю, а згодом вдумливістю і добротою. Її подорож дорослішання не менш звивиста й захоплива, ніж мандрівка морем. Серед другорядних персонажів буде важко обрати фаворита: кожен з них — особливо дивне й миле створіння. Мінливість людської природи й казкова мариністика Це перший з чотирьох романів секретного проєкту Брендона Сандерсона, написаного під час пандемії.

"Will you re-marry me?" He asked lying on the hospital bed after surviving an attempted murdur. "Yes. A thousand times!" She nodded with tears in her eyes. Jessica had dreamed of this moment for more than 10 years! She had had a crush on Lucas at 14 when he saved her from a group of gangsters. Eight years later, she married him despite all opposition from her parents and friends. But Lucas chose to save and defend another woman rather than her in face of danger. Sick of this toxic marriage, Jessica decided to leave and embark on the journey of vengeance. Three months later, she came back, as a billionaire CEO instead of that country girl in his eyes...

Four boys grow up together at school, itching to get out of their small town. They play games, scoring points from each other, anything to pass the time until they're free. Matthew slips into his imagination, Luc pushes his body to the limit, and Johnny ... well who knows what Johnny's up to. But when Mark starts running errands for his older brother's mysterious associate, he thinks he's found the best game of all. There's money in his pocket and his friends have started looking at him differently. Then Mark breaks a rule, and quickly realises that the penalties in this game far outweigh the prizes. Can they all make it to the finish line before someone loses more than just face?

"Well, he should be focusing on you, shouldn't he?" I forced a smile on my face, pretending that I didn't know my mate at all. "Not really. Besides, I'd be happy to set him up with someone and get rid of my duty to reduce his loneliness for good," She snickered, "And, don't worry, I'm always in for a threesome." "Cora, stop it." Sebastian decided to interrupt not wanting his girlfriend to spill more of his secrets than she'd already done. "Calm down, Sebastian. Not everyone freaks out even over the tiniest little things and this beautiful lady over here, seems like the perfect match for you and I saw the way you looked at her," She cheekily nudged his arm, "She is hot, isn't she?" "Shut up, Cora. Just shut up for now.” ***** Athena, haunted by her past, seeks a fresh start in a new town.

Especially when a lost treasure from the past once again knocks at her door— A rare case that seeks to return the most valuable gift for.....a mother. What will she choose? Past or Present?

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.

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

His shameless words rendered Emmelyn speechless and shocked, more so, than the kiss he landed on her lips earlier. "I need three children from you." "Eh ... wait.. what? Hold on a minute," Emmelyn, who was moved from her shock, hurriedly rubbed her lips roughly as if trying to remove the devil's marks from them. "I don't want to be your wife! I don't want to marry you, you devil!!" The man frowned and squinted his eyes menacingly. "Who said anything about marriage?" THE NEXT DAY "Let's go," said the prince. "Let's go where?" Emmelyn asked, not understanding. "Let's go make babies." *** SYNOPSIS: The crown prince was cursed on the day he was born, that he will never be happy.

WINNER OF THE NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARD • The prescient founder of The Free Press delivers an urgent wake-up call to all Americans exposing the alarming rise of anti-Semitism in this country—and explains what we can do to defeat it. “A praiseworthy and concise brief against modern-day anti-Semitism.”—The New York Times On October 27, 2018, eleven Jews were gunned down as they prayed at their synagogue in Pittsburgh. It was the deadliest attack on Jews in American history. For most Americans, the massacre at Tree of Life, the synagogue where Bari Weiss became a bat mitzvah, came as a shock. But anti-Semitism is the oldest hatred, commonplace across the Middle East and on the rise for years in Europe. So that terrible morning in Pittsburgh, as well as the continued surge of hate crimes against Jews in cities and towns across the country, raise a question Americans cannot avoid: Could it happen here? This book is Weiss’s answer. Like many, Weiss long believed this country could escape the rising tide of anti-Semitism. With its promise of free speech and religion, its insistence that all people are created equal, its tolerance for difference, and its emphasis on shared ideals rather than bloodlines, America has been, even with all its flaws, a new Jerusalem for the Jewish people. But now the luckiest Jews in history are beginning to face a three-headed dragon known all too well to Jews of other times and places: the physical fear of violent assault, the moral fear of ideological vilification, and the political fear of resurgent fascism and populism. No longer the exclusive province of the far right, the far left, and assorted religious bigots, anti-Semitism now finds a home in identity politics as well as the reaction against identity politics, in the renewal of America First isolationism and the rise of one-world socialism, and in the spread of Islamist ideas into unlikely places. A hatred that was, until recently, reliably taboo is migrating toward the mainstream, amplified by social media and a culture of conspiracy that threatens us all. Weiss is one of our most provocative writers, and her cri de coeur makes a powerful case for renewing Jewish and American values in this uncertain moment. Not just for the sake of America’s Jews, but for the sake of America.

Reading by Starlight explores the characteristics in the writing, marketing and reception of science fiction which distinguish it as a genre. Damien Broderick explores the postmodern self-referentiality of the sci-fi narrative, its intricate coded language and discursive `encyclopaedia'. He shows how, for perfect understanding, sci-fi readers must learn the codes of these imaginary worlds and vocabularies, all the time picking up references to texts by other writers. Reading by Starlight includes close readings of paradigmatic cyberpunk texts and writings by SF novelists and theorists including Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, Brian Aldiss, Patrick Parrinder, Kim Stanley Robinson, John Varley, Roger Zelazny, William Gibson, Fredric Jameson and Samuel R. Delaney.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

House X is by far the largest and best appointed of the Minoan houses excavated at Kommos in south-central Crete, a Minoan harbor and settlement that later became the site of a Greek sanctuary. Situated on the seacoast of the western Mesara Plain, Kommos faces west toward the Libyan Sea. House X stands on the southern edge of the Minoan town, separated by a large slab-paved road from the monumental civic buildings built and used between the Protopalatial and Postpalatial periods. The description of the stratigraphic excavation of this elite house is published with numerous architectural plans along with the cataloged small finds and tables of data on the floral and faunal materials. The excavated fresco fragments are also discussed and illustrated. This volume presents the Late Bronze Age pottery from in and around House X, a large Minoan house at Kommos situated not far from the sea in South-Central Crete. This volume is richly illustrated with drawings, photos, and tables of data. Rutter's contribution complements the publication of the architecture, stratigraphy, and small finds in Part 1 (Shaw and Shaw, eds., 2012). Together, this pair of volumes offers a conclusion to a series of monographs (volumes I-V) previously published about the site (Shaw and Shaw, eds., 1995-2006). The Kommos series is now completed by the two-volume publication on House X.

This book presents the evolution of the Powerful Geography approach to teaching and learning in the United States and how the approach can be adapted and implemented in other countries. Powerful Geography acknowledges the remarkable diversity that exists in classrooms, the wide-ranging interests of modern students and the desire of these students to translate dynamic subject-matter into “useful” information and concepts, a process that is consistent with modern educational theory. For Powerful Geography to work in secondary and postsecondary education, teachers and university professors must adapt and teach geography as a critical training where individual students see opportunities to apply geography content, skills, and technology to real world problems that they care about. This book challenges geography educators at all levels to strengthen their applied curriculum in order to help students prepare for jobs and careers in broad areas such as climate change, migration, environmental protection, natural resources, energy development and use, transport planning, supply chain logistics, global trade, national security, and infrastructure.

This book analyses corporate rescue laws, processes and policies prescribed in corporate insolvency or bankruptcy laws, and employment laws of the UK and the US, with a particular focus on how extant employee rights are treated when a debtor employer initiates corporate insolvency proceedings. The commencement of formal insolvency proceedings by an employer affects employees’ rights and interests. Employment laws seek to protect employees’ rights and interests, while insolvency laws seek to promote corporate rescue, which may entail workforce changes. Consequently, this creates a tension between whose interest insolvency law should give primacy of protection. The book analyses how corporate rescue processes such as administration, pre-pack business sales, company voluntary arrangements, receivership and liquidation impact employee rights and protection during corporate rescue proceedings in both jurisdictions. It goes on to address how the federal system of government in the US and the diffusion of power between federal and state law jurisdictions impact a uniform code of employee protection during Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganisation proceedings. The book considers how an interpretative approach to law (Dworkin’s Interpretative Theory of Law) may be used to balance both employee protection and corporate rescue laws during corporate insolvency in the UK and the US. Of interest to academics, students and employment law practitioners, this book examines the tension between corporate rescue laws and employment protection laws during corporate insolvency in the US and the UK and how this tension may be remedied or balanced.

Herhangi bir mesajın toplum tarafından benimsenmesi için “algı yönetimi” denilen bir yapılandırma süreci gerçekleştirilir. Toplum yararına kullanılabilecek bu kadar etkili olan bu algı yönetiminin maalesef farklı bir boyutu da bulunmakta. İnsanoğlunun kitleler üzerinde güç sahibi olma isteği çerçevesinde; bu algı yönetimi kişinin davranışları üzerinden tutun da tüm durumlara karşı oluşan bakış açılarına kadar yönlendirmeyi hedef alarak büyük kitleleri kendi amaçları doğrultusunda yönetebilmekten geçmektedir. Bu süreç devamında zihin kontrolüne kadar ciddi bir şekilde kişinin hipnoz seviyesine gelmesini de sağlar. İşte o zaman ne mi olur? Doğru bildiğimizi sandığımız şeylerin aslında ne kadar doğru ya da ne kadar yanlış olduğu gerçeği ortaya çıkar. Tüm bu süreçte zihin kontrolünün hem fiziksel hem de bilimsel boyutta yol almasıyla birlikte her geçen gün insanlık adına daha da tehlikeli aşamalara doğru ilerlemekteyiz. Çünkü artık teknoloji çağında yaşıyoruz ve bu doğrultuda teknoloji ile yönetmeyi seçenlerin de kullanmayı seçtikleri bu araçlar, maalesef farkına varamazsak eğer, insanlığı felakete götüren bir sona doğru götürecektir. Uzun zamandır yanlış bilgilerin biz farkına varmadan aldatma yoluyla, çarpıtılarak ya da daha duygusal algı yaratılarak toplumumuzda doğrulukları kabul ettirilmiş ve bunun arkasından da fikir çatışmaları denilen kargaşalar da beraberinde gelmiştir.

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.

Saviano escribe la novela del juez Falcone: dos hombres enfrentados a la Mafia. La novela de Giovanni Falcone. El libro sobre un luchador contra la Mafia escrito por otro de sus combatientes. Falcone falleció en 1992 –junto con su esposa y tres escoltas– cuando su coche voló por los aires en la autopista que lleva a Palermo desde el aeropuerto. Saviano sigue vivo –escribiendo y denunciando–, pero amenazado, bajo protección y con guardaespaldas. Dos explosiones enmarcan la novela: la primera se produce en 1943 en el pueblo de Corleone, cuando una familia manipula una bomba aliada que no ha explotado para desmontarla y venderla. Algo sale mal, la bomba estalla y mueren todos menos un niño. El superviviente es Totò Riina, futuro capo dei capi, el hombre que ordenará el asesinato de Falcone en 1992 con la segunda explosión del libro. Saviano reconstruye un episodio trascendental de la lucha contra la Mafia, una guerra que todavía continúa. Falcone dio pasos de gigante, siguió la pista del dinero, buscó arrepentidos que confesaran y orquestó un macrojuicio. Pese a los palos en las ruedas que le ponían algunos desde las altas instancias, logró asestar severos golpes a la organización. Esta juró matarlo y lo acabó consiguiendo. La reconstrucción que aquí se hace de su vida abarca otros dos aspectos relevantes: la intimidad, las dudas y las acusaciones de divismo que tuvo que soportar el juez, y también la importantísima presencia de quienes lo acompañaron en su gesta, porque no la llevó a cabo solo, sino apoyado por un equipo de colaboradores entregados a la causa. ¿Quién sino Roberto Saviano podía escribir el libro definitivo sobre Giovanni Falcone?

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.

Além da pele compila artigos recentes de Silvia Federici a respeito do corpo e da política corporal em seu trabalho teórico e em outras teorias feministas. Os dez textos que compõem este livro revelam como o capitalismo tem transformado o corpo humano em máquina de trabalho — e o corpo das mulheres em máquinas reprodutoras de mão de obra. Dividida em quatro partes, a obra debate a relação entre corpos e opressões, a barriga de aluguel, as novas tecnologias reprodutivas e de manipulação genética, as antigas e recentes esterilizações forçadas, a criminalização do aborto, o cerco à sexualidade das mulheres, o trabalho sexual, o papel da medicina e da psicologia no disciplinamento dos corpos e a ânsia do capitalismo tardio em moldar, via novas tecnologias, um trabalhador cada vez mais semelhante a uma máquina — cujo corpo esteja imune a estímulos sensoriais, a desejos sexuais, sempre autodisciplinado, capaz de funcionar em qualquer situação e pronto para colonizar o espaço sideral.

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.

“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.

“Aku” adalah seorang pemuda yang merantau dari Palembang ke Yogyakarta untuk melanjutkan studi. Keberangkatan itu tampak sederhana meski harus mengorbankan motor kesayangannya demi bekal awal. Setibanya di Jogja, ia tak menemukan apa pun yang istimewa sebagaimana yang kerap diceritakan oleh orang lain. Ia justru disambut oleh nyamuk, kelabang, kecoak, cacing, botol-botol bir yang berserak, makanan yang tak sesuai dengan lidahnya, bahasa yang asing, desahan dari kamar samping, dan hal-hal yang tak lumrah dalam kehidupannya yang lalu. Perlahan ia sadari, Jogja adalah sesuatu yang lain. Jogja adalah pembeda. Kota itu mempertemukannya dengan hal-hal kecil dalam hidup yang memaksanya untuk menengok kembali pandangan-pandangannya soal diri sendiri, soal relasi, soal masa depan, dan sekelilingnya. Ia mulai belajar mengumpat, ia mulai memahami keberadaan jalan hidup yang berbeda kutub dengannya. Di kampus, ia berkenalan dengan Penyair Kedung yang nyentrik; ia diajar oleh dosen yang selalu meminta kuliah di luar ruang kelas sambil merokok; ia mendapat kabar tentang dosen peleceh seksual dan hal-hal cabul tentangnya. Hari ini, dia mengenali keluguannya sendiri dan, setelah tahun-tahun berlalu, ia tak berubah dan masih selalu dikejutkan oleh kenangan tentang Jogja. * Pengantar Aku dan Jogja Pukul Dua adalah memoir karya Rizqi Turama, seorang penulis asal Palembang yang sempat mengenyam pendidikan di Yogyakarta. Dalam potongan kehidupannya selama di Jogja, dalam buku ini, dia bercerita bahwa dia menemukan banyak orang yang kejadian yang membentuk dirinya hari ini. Jogja adalah sesuatu yang lain. Jogja adalah pembeda.

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.

This volume brings together essays from different fields of the humanities and social sciences that offer a fresh look at the complexity of artistic and cultural contacts, transfers, and exchanges between Europe and the Middle East. The studies reach far beyond the geographical regions where Europe and the Middle East have met and interacted throughout their long histories, such as the eastern Mediterranean, the south Caucasus, and the Balkans. Their focus is on the variety of “contact zones” of the two worlds with specific artistic creativity, characterized by dynamic processes of movement and interchange between various cultural entities in the broadest and most complex sense of the word. The studies shed new light on diverse phenomena of the “in-between” or “liminal” spaces in art and culture, with special interest in artists and art works from ancient to modern times, from fine arts and architecture to music and video.

Während digitale Spiele schon längst kein neues Medium mehr darstellen, ist die Spielfreude junger Menschen für viele Erziehende aber nach wie vor eine Herausforderung. Sorgen über mögliche suchtfördernde Wirkung oder Gewaltdarstellungen in digitalen Spielen erschweren häufig einen verständnisvollen Zugang und Umgang mit dem Medium. Was genau daran als herausfordernd erlebt wird und welche Strategien Familien und Erziehende finden, im Alltag mit digitalen Spielen umzugehen, ist Gegenstand des Buches. Dazu kommen sowohl junge Spielende selbst, deren Eltern als auch Fachkräfte in sozialpädagogischen Einrichtungen zu Wort. Die Diskrepanzen, die in der Bewertung des Mediums zwischen Spielenden und Erziehenden offenkundig werden, erlauben zum einen Rückschlüsse auf ein tiefsitzendes Unverständnis dem neuen Medien gegenüber, das mehr ist als reiner Generationenkonflikt, zum anderen wird auch klar, dass elterliche Sorgen legitim, aber nicht immer hilfreich sind. Und manchmal ist eine Sorge so stark auf ein vermeintliches Problem fokussiert, dass deutlich größere potentielle Risiken, wie aggressive Finanzierungsstrategien digitaler Spiele oder Hatespeech in virtuellen Räumen, unbemerkt bleiben.

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.

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.

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.

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.

What happens when Theodor Adorno, the champion of high, classical artists such as Beethoven, comes into contact with the music of Chuck Berry, the de facto king of rock 'n' roll? In a series of readings and meditations, Robert Miklitsch investigates the postmodern nexus between elite and popular culture as it occurs in the audiovisual fields of film, music, and television—ranging from Gershwin to gangsta rap, Tarantino to Tongues Untied, Tony Soprano to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Miklitsch argues that the aim of critical theory in the new century will be to describe and explain these commodities in ever greater phenomenological detail without losing touch with those evaluative criteria that have historically sustained both Kulturkritik and classical aesthetics.

This Sage Handbook presents an interdisciplinary collection of chapters exploring how to assess the quality of collecting and analysing qualitative data, while maintaining a focus on diversity, digital and critical approaches. The Handbook considers essential questions such as what is good qualitative research? What makes qualitative research good research? And, how can we make qualitative research better research? Contributions come from a wide array of experts, and highlight answers to questions from various disciplinary and geographical areas; from mixed methods to multimodal and online research, from specific types of data and methods to specific target groups, and from theoretical and epistemological contexts to those where funding has an impact on how research is done and assessed. Qualitative research has evolved in many respects in recent decades and has grown increasingly multidisciplinary. Research in general is facing new challenges around how to take diversity and decolonisation into account in what researchers do, as well as how to produce and communicate qualitative research quality. This Handbook offers a timely overview of such developments, and will support researchers involved in planning, designing, doing and evaluating qualitative research in developing an increased sensitivity for contemporary debates and challenges in the field. Part I Philosophies and Epistemologies of Qualitative Research Quality Part II Disciplinary Discourses of Qualitative Research Quality Part III Qualitative Research Quality for Specific Approaches Part IV Rethinking Qualitative Research Quality for Specific Methods and Data Part V Rethinking Strategies for Quality in Qualitative Research Part VI Rethinking Criteria for Quality in Qualitative Research Part VII Extending Contexts and Challenges for Qualitative Research Quality

Datenjournalismus ist eine Reaktion auf die anhaltende Digitalisierung. Er ist eng mit Software und Algorithmen verknüpft, nährt sich vom gleichen Treibstoff wie die Rechner und das Internet: Daten. Welche Methode wäre also besser dafür geeignet, eine digitale Welt zu begleiten und zu beschreiben? Der Datenjournalist Lorenz Matzat gibt einen Einblick in das recht junge Genre Datenjournalismus und richtet sich damit an Einsteiger in das Thema: Was gehört zum sogenannten data-driven-journalism und wie lässt er sich umSetzen? Im ersten Kapitel geht es um den Rohstoff des Ganzen: Daten und deren Formate – wie im Zusammenspiel mit Software interaktiver Journalismus gemacht kann. Der zweite Abschnitt dreht sich um das methodische Vorgehen: Dem Beschaffen und Säubern von Daten, der Analyse der Daten und der Berichterstattung mit ihnen. Der dritte und letzte Abschnitt handelt von dem Produkt, dem journalistischen Werk: Es ist dabei nicht nur die Rede vom prägnanten Journalismus, sondern auch von Servertechnologie, Nutzerfreundlichkeit, Testen und nicht zuletzt von Datenvisualisierungen. Dieses Buch verspricht weder, aus dem Leser in Nullkommanichts einen Könner im Datenjournalismus zu machen. Auch fordert es nicht, dass jeder Journalist Programmierer werden sollte. Vielmehr zeigt Lorenz Matzat, dass Datenjournalismus viel Arbeit, Geduld und Teamarbeit verlangt. Aber auch, dass diese Arbeit entsprechend belohnt wird: und zwar mit der Möglichkeit, aussagekräftig und vielfältig das digitale Medium Internet bespielen zu können.

Silver Medalist, 2020 Independent Publisher Book Awards in the Religion (Eastern/Western) Category This groundbreaking book explores Buddhist thought and culture, from multiple Buddhist perspectives, as sources for feminist reflection and social action. Too often, when writers apply terms such as "woman," "femininity," and "feminism" to Buddhist texts and contexts, they begin with models of feminist thinking that foreground questions and concerns arising from Western experience. This oversight has led to many facile assumptions, denials, and oversimplifications that ignore women's diverse social and historical contexts. But now, with the tools of feminist analysis that have developed in recent decades, constructs of the feminine in Buddhist texts, imagery, and philosophy can be examined—with the acknowledgment that there are limitations to applying these theoretical paradigms to other cultures. Contributors to this volume offer a feminist analysis, which integrates gender theory and Buddhist perspectives, to Buddhist texts and women's narratives from Asia. How do Buddhist concepts of self and no-self intersect with concepts of gender identity, especially for women? How are the female body, sexuality, and femininity constructed (and contested) in diverse Buddhist contexts? How might power and gender identity be perceived differently through a Buddhist lens? By exploring feminist approaches and representations of "the feminine," including persistent questions about women's identities as householders and renunciants, this book helps us to understand how Buddhist influences on attitudes toward women, and how feminist thinking from other parts of the world, can inform and enlarge contemporary discussions of feminism.

Die Analyse und Vermittlung von literarischen Texten des frühen 19. Jahrhunderts birgt Potenziale im Hinblick auf den Umgang mit Diversität, Zugehörigkeit und Ausgrenzung. Die Beiträger*innen fragen danach, wie kulturelle Vielfalt in der musealen sowie der literaturwissenschaftlichen Praxis zu kritischen Reflexionen und zu neuen Perspektiven auf kanonisierte Gegenstände führt. Im Zentrum steht dabei das Interesse an den Optionen der Darstellung von Diversität im Literaturmuseum und in der Literaturwissenschaft. Der Band führt theoretische und praktische Zugriffe zusammen und arbeitet somit auch an einer methodisch-theoretischen Vielfalt.

Over the past half-century, the social terrain of health and illness has been transformed. What were once considered normal human events and common human problems—birth, aging, menopause, alcoholism, and obesity—are now viewed as medical conditions. For better or worse, medicine increasingly permeates aspects of daily life. Building on more than three decades of research, Peter Conrad explores the changing forces behind this trend with case studies of short stature, social anxiety, "male menopause," erectile dysfunction, adult ADHD, and sexual orientation. He examines the emergence of and changes in medicalization, the consequences of the expanding medical domain, and the implications for health and society. He finds in recent developments—such as the growing number of possible diagnoses and biomedical enhancements—the future direction of medicalization. Conrad contends that the impact of medical professionals on medicalization has diminished. Instead, the pharmaceutical and biotechnical industries, insurance companies and HMOs, and the patient as consumer have become the major forces promoting medicalization. This thought-provoking study offers valuable insight into not only how medicalization got to this point but also how it may continue to evolve.

Go beyond the glass and discover the secrets behind your favorite style of whiskey. Over the past three decades, Lew Bryson has been one of the most influential voices in whiskey—a longtime editor of Whisky Advocate and author of the definitive guide Tasting Whiskey. In this book, Lew shares everything he's learned on his journey through the worlds of bourbon, Scotch, rye, Japanese whiskey, and more (yes, there are tasty Canadian and Irish whiskeys as well!). In this book, you'll find it all: An overview of the different types of whiskeys, including the rules and identities of each.

Distillation for non-distillers and the beauty of barrels: Whiskey is both an art and a science, and what's in the glass is affected by things like pot stills vs. column stills, barrel char, and of course, time. Numerous interviews with master distillers, still makers, and other artisans at the top of their field. Tasting notes throughout so you can identify the whiskeys you might want to try next. Every chapter contains a variety of unique, often behind-the-scenes photography. And with whiskey as the subject, this is a class where you'll want to do the homework!

Italian-inspired dishes, drinks, and desserts from three top Manhattan restaurateurs: “I can vouch for the soul-satisfying deliciousness of all of these.” —Anita Lo, chef and author of Solo: A Modern Cookbook for a Party of One Amid the cobblestoned streets and picturesque brownstones of New York’s charming West Village, three dynamic young restaurateurs have created some of the most inventive and delicious Italian-inspired cuisine in a city world-famous for its Italian food. Now the drinks and dishes that have inspired fanatical loyalty among customers of dell’anima, L’Artusi, L’Apicio and Anfora—including Charred Octopus with Chicories, Impromptu Tiramisu, and a sparking Roasted Orange Negroni Sbagliato—are accessible to home cooks in the first cookbook from executive chef Gabriel Thompson, pastry chef Katherine Thompson, and beverage director Joe Campanale. Gabe Thompson’s antipasti, pastas, main courses, and side dishes emphasize simplicity and deep flavor, using the freshest ingredients, creative seasonings, and the occasional unexpected twist—in such dishes as Sweet Corn Mezzaluna and Chicken al Diavolo. Katherine Thompson’s desserts are both inspired and downright homey, running the gamut from a simple and sinful Bittersweet Chocolate Budino to the to-die-for Espresso-Rum Almond Cake with Caramel Sauce, Sea Salt Gelato, and Almond Brittle. And all are paired with thoughtfully chosen wines and ingenious Italian-inspired cocktails—Blame it on the Aperol, anyone?—by Joe Campanale, one of the most knowledgeable young sommeliers in New York City.

Published in 1829 in New York, Apician Morsels, or Tales of the Table, Kitchen, and Larder is an entertaining culinary miscellany that combines cooking history, lore, anecdotes, and witticism, all with a humorous flair. While Dick Humelbergius Secundus is the listed author (a tongue-in-cheek allusion to a 16th century annotator), the tome is believed to have been written by English novelist William Beckford. Continuing the jesting nature of the book, the title page proclaims to “[a]lways breakfast as if you did not intend to dine; and dine as if you had not broken your fast.” Furthermore, Apician Morsels explores oddities and fascinating lore such as the history of the toothpick, Roman customs on eating and drinking, and quirky antiquarian books on cooking, and warns about avoiding the most frightful of dining situations: eating alone at one’s own home. This edition of Apician Morsels, or Tales of the Table, Kitchen and Larder was reproduced by permission from the volume in the collection of the American Antiquarian Society, Worcester, Massachusetts. Founded in 1812 by Isaiah Thomas, a Revolutionary War patriot and successful printer and publisher, the Society is a research library documenting the life of Americans from the colonial era through 1876. The Society collects, preserves, and makes available as complete a record as possible of the printed materials from the early American experience. The cookbook collection includes approximately 1,100 volumes.

Fish Smoking Days explores the age-old practice of fish smoking, a cornerstone of coastal cuisine and food preservation. It delves into both the techniques and the science behind this traditional method, explaining how communities worldwide have relied on it to preserve their catch and enhance flavor. The book highlights the differences between cold smoking and hot smoking, crucial for understanding how temperature and wood type dramatically affect the final product. Readers will discover how smoking isn't just about taste, but also about the complex interplay of physics, chemistry, and microbiology that transforms fish into a preserved delicacy. The book traces the historical roots of fish smoking, from its origins as a survival strategy to its evolution into a cultural art form. Different chapters explore how various cultures adapted smoking techniques to local fish species and available resources, creating unique and diverse traditions. The book then transitions into a practical guide, offering step-by-step instructions for various smoking methods and addressing common challenges. Ultimately, Fish Smoking Days argues that fish smoking is more than just a culinary technique; it's a vital part of food security and cultural identity. By combining scientific insights with practical knowledge and cultural context, the book offers a unique and comprehensive understanding of this fascinating practice, making it valuable for both culinary enthusiasts and those interested in food science and biology.

There are many books that explore actual, physical, sacred space and pilgrimage sites. This is a different kind of book. It introduces seven traditional 'sacred spaces' but then leads readers into a deeper reflection on what such 'sacred space' means in our own lives and experience. The various sacred spaces explored are: the Celtic Cross; the infinite knot; hilltops; wells and springs; causeways and bridges; thresholds and burial grounds; and boundaries. In each chapter, the author introduces a 'sacred space' as the main theme and then illustrates this by associating it with a particular stage of life and a particular sacramental experience. The ideas are then brought together by means of a scripture story.

Eating right has been an obsession for longer than we think. Renaissance Europe had its own flourishing tradition of dietary advice. Then, as now, an industry of experts churned out diet books for an eager and concerned public. Providing a cornucopia of information on food and an intriguing account of the differences between the nutritional logic of the past and our own time, this inviting book examines the wide-ranging dietary literature of the Renaissance. Ken Albala ultimately reveals the working of the Renaissance mind from a unique perspective: we come to understand a people through their ideas on food. Eating Right in the Renaissance takes us through an array of historical sources in a narrative that is witty and spiced with fascinating details. Why did early Renaissance writers recommend the herbs parsley, arugula, anise, and mint to fortify sexual prowess? Why was there such a strong outcry against melons and cucumbers, even though people continued to eat them in large quantities? Why was wine considered a necessary nutrient? As he explores these and other questions, Albala explains the history behind Renaissance dietary theories; the connections among food, exercise, and sex; the changing relationship between medicine and cuisine; and much more. Whereas modern nutritionists may promise a slimmer waistline, more stamina, or freedom from disease, Renaissance food writers had entirely different ideas about the value of eating right. As he uncovers these ideas from the past, Ken Albala puts our own dietary obsessions in an entirely new light in this elegantly written and often surprising new chapter on the history of food.

Written with the no-holds-barred ethos of his beloved series, No Reservations and Parts Unknown, the celebrity chef and culinary explorer’s first cookbook in more than ten years—a collection of recipes for the home cook. Anthony Bourdain is a man of many appetites. And for many years, first as a chef, later as a world-traveling chronicler of food and culture on his CNN series Parts Unknown, he has made a profession of understanding the appetites of others. These days, however, if he’s cooking, it’s for family and friends. Appetites, his first cookbook in more than ten years, boils down forty-plus years of professional cooking and globe-trotting to a tight repertoire of personal favorites—dishes that everyone should (at least in Mr. Bourdain’s opinion) know how to cook. Once the supposed "bad boy" of cooking, Mr. Bourdain has, in recent years, become the father of a little girl—a role he has embraced with enthusiasm. After years of traveling more than 200 days a year, he now enjoys entertaining at home. Years of prep lists and the hyper-organization necessary for a restaurant kitchen, however, have caused him, in his words, to have "morphed into a psychotic, anally retentive, bad-tempered Ina Garten." The result is a home-cooking, home-entertaining cookbook like no other, with personal favorites from his own kitchen and from his travels, translated into an effective battle plan that will help you terrify your guests with your breathtaking efficiency.

Sale, grassi, acidi, calore non è il classico libro di cucina. Come i piatti dell’autrice, la chef, insegnante e scrittrice Samin Nosrat, questo libro nasce dalla combinazione di ingredienti di altissima qualità: belle storie, scienza, ricette e illustrazioni originali, il tutto condito da una grande ironia e da un amore contagioso per il cibo. Samin, infatti, non si limita a elencare una serie di passaggi e di istruzioni da seguire ed eseguire, ma, in modo semplice e coinvolgente, spiega anche i principi alla base della buona cucina, in particolare quelli relativi a sale, grasso, acido e calore. “Padroneggiate questi principi”, promette l’autrice, “e potrete rendere buono qualsiasi piatto”. Ogni preparazione evoca inoltre una storia che attinge direttamente dal suo bagaglio di ricordi ed esperienze personali, perché “una grande ricetta, come una grande fotografia, racconta una storia e lo fa bene” e nessun buon piatto potrà mai essere tale se non si assaggia e non si impara a “cucinare a sentimento” e a fidarsi dei propri sensi. Un testo utile, divertente e adatto a tutti che entrerà presto a far parte della raccolta di libri di cui non si può fare a meno. Sale, grassi, acidi, calore è anche una serie di Netflix.

Praise for Mary Giuliani and The Cocktail Party “All-encompassing but never fussy, clever but never pretentious, Mary’s approach to food and entertaining is warm and familiar without ever sacrificing on quality and sophistication.”—Ariel Foxman, editorial director, InStyle “Mary pulls it all together with effortless panache, and all I can ever remember the next day—besides the fact that I drank too much—is how delicious everything was and how much fun I had.”—Jonathan Van Meter, author and contributing editor, Vogue and New York

Cada vino es una historia embotellada. En el libro Los Buenos Vinos en la historia (Resonancia, México 2019) el escritor Pedro Escobar descorcha los de 25 personajes que han dejado huella a su paso por el mundo. ¿Qué tipo de uva cultivó Miguel de Cervantes?¿Por qué la reconstrucción de Lisboa se le debe al Porto? ¿Dónde estaban los viñedos de Hernán Cortés? ¿Quién fue el primer sommelier del papa? ¿Qué tipo de vino tomó Jesucristo? ¿Cuál era el vino favorito del emperador Maximiliano de Habsburgo? Todas esas preguntas tienen respuesta en un libro en el que el vino es el hilo conductor en un viaje a través de 148 páginas llenas de anécdotas, datos curiosos y mucha historia vitivinícola. Los Buenos Vinos en la Historia fue reconocido por los Gourmand Awards como mejor libro de historia del vino editado en México en 2019 gracias a un exhaustivo trabajo de investigación debidamente sustentado en fuentes bibliográficas y entrevistas personales. El autor nos lleva a conocer los vinos los poderosos: Alejandro Magno, Adolfo Hitler, José Stalin y Donald Trump. Los vinos de líderes, como el Marqués de Pombal, Louis Pasteur, Don Melchor de Concha y Toro, Hernán Cortés, Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla y Maximiliano de Habsburgo. También se describen los vinos de escritores como: Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Ernest Hemingway, Shin y Yuko Kobayashi y Robert Parker, así como los vinos de las estrellas: Sting, Maynard James Keenan, Luis Miguel, Eddie Vedder y Andrés Iniesta También tienen un espacio algunas de las muchas mujeres que han dejado huella en el desarrollo de la vitivinicultura. En el apartado dedicado a los vinos de las damas, pueden leerse las historias de Antonia Ferreira "La Ferreirinha", Isabelle Simi y la mexicana Laura Zamora. Finalmente, se explora la relación entre el vino y los líderes espirituales en el apartado dedicado a los vinos de los religiosos, en el que se cuenta la historia de los vinos de: Jesucristo, Sante Lancerio y Fray Junípero Serra. "Para disfrutar del vino no se necesita ser un experto en el tema, pero definitivamente se aprecia más en la medida que se enriquecen los conocimientos. Quienes sienten un genuino interés por este prodigio del ingenio humano, leer sobre su historia quizá sea el único placer comparado a beberlo de una copa. Ernest Hemingway alguna vez escribió que: “El conocimiento del vino y la educación del paladar pueden ser fuente de grandes alegrías durante una vida entera” y es que la historia vinícola es tan rica y tan compleja como la civilización misma.".

Take your cooking skills to the next level while developing a knockout repertoire of 200 essential, satisfying dishes—from simple meals to dinner-party center­pieces We’ve made improvements to well-loved dishes by incorporating innovative techniques in recipes such as Butter-Basted Rib-Eye Steak and added modern classics such as Vegetable Bibimbap and Olive Oil-Yogurt Bundt Cake. In this book, you’ll find the perfect roast chicken and a killer banana bread but also a Turkish-inspired tomato soup, luscious Chinese braised short ribs, and a set of wholesome grain bowls. A chapter on weeknight dinners offers smart paths to great flavor—from Bucatini with Peas, Kale, and Pancetta that cooks in one pot to a pizza that bakes in a skillet—including plenty of vegetarian options. Other chapters turn up the volume on breakfast and dessert standbys; try the 100 Percent Whole-Wheat Pancakes and Brown Sugar Cookies and you may never go back to the regular versions. We'll also help you pull off your next—or even your first!—dinner party with recipes guaranteed to impress (and to work), such as Braised Lamb Shanks with Bell Peppers and Harissa, Miso-Marinated Salmon, and Roasted Zucchini and Eggplant Lasagna. Most of us—not just newbies—could stand to bone up on certain culinary basics, and our methods may surprise even more experienced cooks, from seeding fresh chiles (we use a measuring spoon) to hulling strawberries (a plastic straw works well). And that’s just the tip of the iceberg of what these recipes teach. You'll discover how to “reverse sear” thick pork chops so they turn out juicy all the way through, grind meat in a food processor for the ultimate burger, and shape fresh corn tortillas without a tortilla press or rolling pin. As you progress through this book, you will also gain a deeper understanding of ingredients, better ­techniques, and the secrets we use in the test kitchen via sidebars called “Think Like a Cook,” which offers insights that can help in your larger culinary life—from picking the perfect avocado to cooking the perfect eggs.

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.

«واضح ورائع ويصعب التوقف عن قراءته، ومليء بدراسات الحالة المهمة... قدَّم هذا الكتاب مجموعة من أهم الإنجازات في مجال الصحة العقلية خلال الأعوام الثلاثين الماضية» - نورمان دويدج، مؤلف كتاب «الدماغ يغير نفسه» تعريف يُقدِّم بيسيل فان دير كولك، الباحث الرائد وأحد أبرز الخبراء في العالم في مجال الضغط العصبي الناتج عن الصدمة النفسية، نموذجًا جديدًا جسورًا للشفاء من الصدمات. الصدمة النفسية حقيقة من حقائق الحياة. أظهرت الدراسات أن واحدًا على الأقل من كل خمسة أشخاص يتعرض للتحرش، وواحدًا من كل أربعة ينشأ مع مدمنين، وزوجًا من كل ثلاثة أزواج يتورط في عنف جسدي. هذه الظروف تترك حتمًا آثارًا في العقول والعواطف، وفي الجسد أيضًا. ومع الأسف، كثيرًا ما يعكس المصابون بالصدمات النفسية ضغطهم العصبي على شركائهم وأطفالهم. أمضى د. فان دير كولك أكثر من ثلاثة عقود في العمل مع الناجين من الصدمات، ونجح من خلال هذا الكتاب في تغيير فهمنا للضغط العصبي الناجم عن الصدمة النفسية، وكشف عن كيفية إعادة الضغط العصبي لترتيب أسلاك الدماغ حرفيًّا - تحديدًا المناطق المخصصة للمتعة والتفاعل مع الآخرين والتحكم في النفس والثقة - وأوضح تأثير العلاجات المبتكرة، بما في ذلك الارتجاع العصبي والتأمل والصلاة واللعب واليوجا وغيرها من العلاجات، فضلًا عن تقديمه بدائل مجربة وناجحة للعقاقير والعلاج بالكلام، وطريقة التعافي واستعادة الحياة. عن المؤلف د. بيسيل فان دير كولك، طبيب ومؤسس والمدير الطبي لـ«مركز الصدمة» في بروكلين، ماساتشوستس. وهو أيضًا أستاذ الطب النفسي في «كلية الطب بجامعة بوسطن» ومدير «الشبكة الوطنية لعلاج الصدمة المعقدة». عندما لا يباشر الدكتور فان دير كولك التدريس حول العالم، فإنه يعمل ويعيش في بوسطن. عن المترجم محمد الدخاخني يكتب بالعربية والإنجليزية حول الثقافة والفن لصحف ومنصات إقليمية، ويترجم عن الإنجليزية في موضوعات متعددة. من بين ترجماته «يوميات وجيه غالي: كاتب مصري من الستينيات المتأرجحة».

Wer kennt sie nicht, die kleinen und großen Herausforderungen des Selbst- und Zeitmanagements? Wenn für die eigentlichen Aufgaben zu wenig Zeit bleibt oder man bereut, auf eine Anfrage nicht mit "Nein" geantwortet zu haben? Wenn Meetings zu lange dauern oder man von einer E-Mail-Flut überschwemmt wird? Dieses Buch richtet sich an alle, die das Phänomen Selbst- und Zeitmanagement besser verstehen möchten und sich ein besseres Selbst- und Zeitmanagement wünschen. Anhand von Forschungsergebnissen und theoretischen Modellen wird aufgezeigt, was typische Selbst- und Zeitmanagementprobleme sind und wie diese entstehen. Es werden Techniken beschrieben, wie sowohl individuelle Probleme als auch organisationale Rahmenbedingungen diagnostiziert werden können, die zu Schwierigkeiten im Selbst- und Zeitmanagement führen können. Ansatzpunkte und Methoden zur Optimierung des persönlichen Selbst- und Zeitmanagements werden aufgezeigt, wobei ein besonderes Augenmerk darauf gelegt wird, welche Maßnahmen entsprechend aktueller Studien funktionieren und welche nicht. Die vorgestellten Maßnahmen reichen von Methoden der Zielsetzung und -verfolgung bis hin zum E-Mail-Management und Tipps für effektive Meetings. Fallbeispiele aus der Unternehmens- und Beratungspraxis mit Anregungen zur Gestaltung von Trainings, Coachings und weiteren organisationalen Maßnahmen ebenso wie Übungen, die von Lesern individuell in den Arbeitsalltag integriert werden können, runden den Band ab.

Recognizing that, as in the famous opening line of his book, “Life is difficult” and that the journey to spiritual growth is a long one, Dr. Peck never bullies his readers, but rather guides them gently through the hard and often painful process of change toward a higher level of self-understanding.

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.

If the transference of the erogenous excitability from the clitoris to the vagina has succeeded, the woman has thus changed her leading zone for the future sexual activity; the man on the other hand retains his from childhood. The main determinants for the woman's preference for the neuroses, especially for hysteria, lie in this change of the leading zone as well as in the repression of puberty. These determinants are therefore most intimately connected with the nature of femininity. -from "The Transformations of Puberty" He was a pioneer in the study of human sexuality and the impact of sexual desire on human behavior, and this 1905 work is considered among his most important contributions to the field. This is the source of such concepts as penis envy, castration anxiety, and the Oedipus complex that we take for granted as fundamental to understanding human psychology. In the three essays here-"The Sexual Aberrations," "Infantile Sexuality," and "The Transformations of Puberty"-Freud sets out a theory of human sexuality that continues to influence us today. Austrian psychiatrist SIGMUND FREUD (1856-1939) developed psychoanalysis-dialogue between doctor and patient-as a tool for understanding and curing psychopathologies. While some of his ideas have been supplanted by subsequent research and refinement, his work continues to profoundly influence the sciences and the humanities alike.

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». GABOR MATÉ, MD autor de In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction

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.

“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.

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.

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.

Alejandra Pizarnik inició una terapia psicoanalítica con León Ostrov a los 18 años. El tratamiento se interrumpió transcurrido poco más de un año, pero el profundo interés de ambos por la filosofía y la literatura derivó en una relación de amistad que se afianza durante los años en que Alejandra residió en Francia (1960-1964). De este período data la mayor parte de las cartas reunidas en este libro, hasta el momento inéditas. En ellas, la poeta relata su experiencia de vida parisina, las nuevas relaciones que establece (con Simone de Beauvoir, Julio Cortázar, Marguerite Duras, Octavio Paz, André Pieyre de Mandiargues, Eduardo Jonquières), la precariedad económica de los primeros tiempos, el vínculo ambivalente con su familia, los desafíos, logros y dificultades de su proceso creador, pero fundamentalmente los profundos terrores y angustias que la atraviesan en los momentos de depresión más devastadores. La confianza depositada en su ex-analista y el esfuerzo de éste por sostenerla a pesar de la distancia otorgan a estas cartas una particularidad que las distingue de muchas de las dirigidas a otros destinatarios. La presente edición incluye un Estudio Preliminar de Andrea Ostrov y un Dossier con reproducciones facsimilares de los originales de esta correspondencia.

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.

WINNER OF THE NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARD • The prescient founder of The Free Press delivers an urgent wake-up call to all Americans exposing the alarming rise of anti-Semitism in this country—and explains what we can do to defeat it. “A praiseworthy and concise brief against modern-day anti-Semitism.”—The New York Times On October 27, 2018, eleven Jews were gunned down as they prayed at their synagogue in Pittsburgh. It was the deadliest attack on Jews in American history. For most Americans, the massacre at Tree of Life, the synagogue where Bari Weiss became a bat mitzvah, came as a shock. But anti-Semitism is the oldest hatred, commonplace across the Middle East and on the rise for years in Europe. So that terrible morning in Pittsburgh, as well as the continued surge of hate crimes against Jews in cities and towns across the country, raise a question Americans cannot avoid: Could it happen here? This book is Weiss’s answer. Like many, Weiss long believed this country could escape the rising tide of anti-Semitism. With its promise of free speech and religion, its insistence that all people are created equal, its tolerance for difference, and its emphasis on shared ideals rather than bloodlines, America has been, even with all its flaws, a new Jerusalem for the Jewish people. But now the luckiest Jews in history are beginning to face a three-headed dragon known all too well to Jews of other times and places: the physical fear of violent assault, the moral fear of ideological vilification, and the political fear of resurgent fascism and populism. No longer the exclusive province of the far right, the far left, and assorted religious bigots, anti-Semitism now finds a home in identity politics as well as the reaction against identity politics, in the renewal of America First isolationism and the rise of one-world socialism, and in the spread of Islamist ideas into unlikely places. A hatred that was, until recently, reliably taboo is migrating toward the mainstream, amplified by social media and a culture of conspiracy that threatens us all. Weiss is one of our most provocative writers, and her cri de coeur makes a powerful case for renewing Jewish and American values in this uncertain moment. Not just for the sake of America’s Jews, but for the sake of America.

An essential, eye-opening book about cyberterrorism, cyber war, and the next great threat to our national security. “Cyber War may be the most important book about national security policy in the last several years.” –Slate Former presidential advisor and counter-terrorism expert Richard A. Clarke sounds a timely and chilling warning about America’s vulnerability in a terrifying new international conflict. Cyber War is a powerful book about technology, government, and military strategy; about criminals, spies, soldiers, and hackers. It explains clearly and convincingly what cyber war is, and how vulnerable we are as a nation and as individuals to the vast and looming web of cyber criminals. Every concerned American should read this startling and explosive book that offers an insider’s view of White House ‘Situation Room’ operations and carries the reader to the frontlines of our cyber defense. Cyber War exposes a virulent threat to our nation’s security.

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.

Israel's Wars is a fascinating and essential insight into the turbulent history of this troubled country which, since its foundation, has endured almost constant violence. Bringing its coverage up to date with recent conflicts, this fourth edition includes a new chapter on the Gaza wars from 2007-2014, a new preface and an updated concluding chapter. From the 1947-8 Jewish-Palestinian struggle for mastery of the land of Palestine to the Al-Aqsa intifada, the second Lebanon war and the Gaza wars, Bregman exposes hitherto unknown facts, including details of secret Soviet involvement in inciting the 1967 Six Day War, Israeli bombing of the American warship the USS Liberty, and Israeli assassinations of leading Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. Illustrated throughout with maps and photographs, this new edition is valuable reading for students of Arab-Israeli conflicts over the last seventy years.

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.

n this very riveting and well-researched essay, Julius Fondong ruminates on the continued relevance of the promises and principles that underpinned the creation of the post-colonial Cameroon nation-state, sixty years after unification in 1961. Renewing the Promise: A Treatise on the Refoundation of the Cameroon Nation chronicles Cameroon's experiment in statehood; an experiment, which according to the author, sprung out of a desire and a promise to forge a new nation through the fusion of two territories with contrasting historical experiences and colonial legacies. Writing from the vantage position of a policy analyst, a governance expert, and a conflict management practitioner, Fondong contends that a combination of policy inconsistencies, imperial arrogance, institution capture, leadership deficiencies and the brazen travesties of the nation's foundational principles and promises has led to violent internal dissent, decreased state capacity for public service delivery and a development gridlock. So, what can be done to re-align the nation to its founding promises and save it from possible disintegration? Fondong proposes an overarching, governance-based praxis for the re-engineering of the Cameroon nation from the bottom up. His proposed remedy is predicated on the principles of decentralized governance, the redistribution of power in a manner that addresses the right to self-determination of Anglophone Cameroonians, enhanced public service delivery and a strategic shift from a transactional to a transformational leadership paradigm. Renewing the Promise is a thought-provoking and captivating political essay, written with exhilarating passion and prototypical clarity. It can serve as a blueprint for a much-needed reform of Cameroon's governance architecture.

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.

The People's Home is a magisterial examination of the development of social rented housing over the last hundred years in six advanced capitalist countries - Britain, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark and the USA.

At the start of the 21st century, some 2 million Europeans were detained against their will in prisons, police stations, mental health institutions or other detention centres. It is generally recognised that protection against the arbitrary deprivation of liberty and the prevention of ill-treatment reflect the extent to which states respect human rights and human dignity, when these can be jeopardised by demands for security and efficiency. This book describes the European system for the protection of people deprived of their liberty and how this has evolved over the past fifty years. It discusses the different initiatives taken by the Council of Europe in this area, of which the European Convention on Human Rights and the Convention for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment are the most significant.

“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.

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.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! President Trump's nominee for Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has written a revolutionary road map to saving our children from leftist indoctrination. Behind a smokescreen of “preparing students for the new industrial economy,” early progressives had political control in mind. America’s original schools didn’t just make kids memorize facts or learn skills; they taught them to think freely and arrive at wisdom. They assigned the classics, inspired love of God and country, and raised future citizens that changed the world forever. Today, after 16,000 hours of K-12 indoctrination, our kids come out of government schools hating America. They roll their eyes at religion and disdain our history. We spend more money on education than ever, but kids can barely read and write—let alone reason with discernment. Western culture is on the ropes. Kids are bored and aimless, flailing for purpose in a system that says racial and gender identity is everything. Battle for the American Mind is the untold story of the Progressive plan to neutralize the basis of our Republic – by removing the one ingredient that had sustained Western Civilization for thousands of years. Pete Hegseth and David Goodwin explain why, no matter what political skirmishes conservatives win, progressives are winning the war—and control the “supply lines” of future citizens. Reversing this reality will require parents to radically reorient their children’s education; even most homeschooling and Christian schooling are infused with progressive assumptions. We need to recover a lost philosophy of education – grounded in virtue and excellence – that can arm future generations to fight for freedom. It’s called classical Christian education. Never heard of it? You’re not alone. Battle for the American Mind is more than a book; it’s a field guide for remaking school in the United States. We’ve ceded our kids’ minds to the left for far too long—this book gives patriotic parents the ammunition to join an insurgency that gives America a fighting chance. Whether you're a conservative looking to push back against the progressive agenda or simply someone who cares about the education of our children, this book is for you.

Modernist Islam was a major intellectual current in the Muslim world during the 19th and 20th centuries. Proponents of this movement typically believed that it was not only possible but imperative to show how "modern" values and institutions could be reconciled with authentically Islamic ideals. This sourcebook brings together a broad range of writings on modernist Islam from across the Muslim world. It makes available for the first time in English the writings of many of the activists and intellectuals who made up the early modernist Islamic movement. Charles Kurzman and a team of section editors, each specializing in a different region of the Islamic world, have assembled, translated, and annotated the work of the most important of these figures. With the publication of this volume, an English-speaking audience will have wider access to the literature of modernist Islam than did the makers of the movement themselves.

Maajid Nawaz spent his teenage years listening to American hip-hop and learning about the radical Islamist movement spreading throughout Europe and Asia in the 1980s and 90s. At 16, he was already a ranking member in Hizb ut-Tahrir, a London-based Islamist group. He quickly rose through the ranks to become a top recruiter, a charismatic spokesman for the cause of uniting Islam’s political power across the world. Nawaz was setting up satellite groups in Pakistan, Denmark, and Egypt when he was rounded up in the aftermath of 9/11 along with many other radical Muslims. He was sent to an Egyptian prison where he was, fortuitously, jailed along with the assassins of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. The 20 years in prison had changed the assassins’ views on Islam and violence; Maajid went into prison preaching to them about the Islamist cause, but the lessons ended up going the other way. He came out of prison four years later completely changed, convinced that his entire belief system had been wrong, and determined to do something about it. He met with activists and heads of state, built a network, and started a foundation, Quilliam, funded by the British government, to combat the rising Islamist tide in Europe and elsewhere, using his intimate knowledge of recruitment tactics in order to reverse extremism and persuade Muslims that the ‘narrative’ used to recruit them (that the West is evil and the cause of all of Muslim suffering), is false. Radical, first published in the UK, is a fascinating and important look into one man's journey out of extremism and into something else entirely. This U.S. edition contains a "Preface for US readers" and a new, updated epilogue.

“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.

Civil-military relations have changed over time with respect to changing demographics, new domestic and international responsibilities, Industry-Defence cooperation, women in the armed forces and contemporary veteran wellbeing.The New Australian Military Sociology aims to provide an antipodean view to theorising civil-military entanglements and uses Australia’s unique geographic, political and cultural context to serve as a case study for other countries.

Chúng ta đã chờ đợi 30 năm để Daniel Ellisberg kể về câu chuyện khác thường của ông và đó là một câu chuyện thực sự đáng để chúng ta chờ đợi. Ông là một người trong cuộc, người đã trải qua nhiều năm ở Việt Nam, đã chứng kiến sự lừa dối và giả tạo của cơ quan chính phủ cao nhất của nước Mỹ và có thể nói với chúng ta về những điều đó một cách chi tiết. Cuộc hành trình của ông là cả một chuyến đi đầy kịch tính. Cuốn sách đem đến cho độc giả một sự hiểu biết sâu sắc về chính trị và đạo đức - không những thực tế mà còn đầy cảm hứng. Năm 1971, Daniel Ellsberg, sĩ quan Lầu Năm Góc từng tham chiến ở Việt Nam, đã cho công bố 7000 trang tài liệu tối mật cho báo chí, tạo nên một làn sóng phản đối chiến tranh Việt Nam mạnh mẽ chưa từng có tại Mỹ. Nhận bằng tiến sĩ kinh tế Đại Học harvard năm 1962, nhưng số phận lại đưa ông đến làm việc ở Bộ Quốc Phòng và sau đó ông được phải sang chiến trường Việt Nam. Sau hơn 3 năm ở Việt Nam, làm việc cho cố vấn đặc biệt của Bộ trưởng Bộ Quốc Phòng và Đại sứ Mỹ tại Sài Gòn, năm 1967, Daniel trở về Mỹ. Ông được phân vào nhóm nghiên cứu tối mật về hoạch định chính sách đối với Việt Nam của Bộ trưởng Quốc phòng Mc Namara. Tại đây, ông đã trực tiếp tiếp xúc với các tài liệu mật của Nhà Trắng và biết rõ kế hoạch muốn leo thang chếin tranh Việt nam của Tổng thống, mặc dù bề ngoài Nixon và bộ sâu của ông ta ra sức nói dối để bảo vệ bao che cho hành động leo thang và kéo dài cuộc chiến của mình. Là một người yêu chuộng hoà bình và đã từng có thời gian tham chiến tại Việt Nam, hiểu rõ bản chất phi nghĩa của cuộc chiến, Dan đã đánh cược cả cuộc đời mình, sao chụp 7000 trang tài liệu Hồ sơ Lầu Năm Góc. Ông bắt đầu công việc này từ năm 1969 và đến năm 1971, ông đã đi đến quyết định làm chấn động nước Mỹ, công bố toàn bộ tài liệu trên Thời báo New York. Dan đã từng nói: "Lẽ ra, nếu tôi có thể đưa các tài liệu đó ra từ khi tôi mới vào làm việc tại Lầu Năm Góc và Nhà Trắng vào năm 1964 - 1965, thì có thể những tài liệu đó đã góp phần ngăn chặn cuộc chiến." Tháng Ba năm 2006, Daniel trở lại thăm Việt Nam, và được trao Kỷ niệm chương "vì hoà bình hữu nghị giữa các dân tộc", tôn vinh những cống hiến không mệt mỏi của ông đã góp phần thức tỉnh dư luận về cuộc chiến tranh chính nghĩa của nhân dân Việt Nam.

In 1975, Marilyn Waring was elected to the New Zealand Parliament as the MP for Raglan. Aged just twenty-three, she was one of only a few female MPs who served through the turbulent years of Muldoon’s government. For nine years, Waring was at the centre of major political decisions, until her parliamentary career culminated during the debate over nuclear arms. When Waring informed Muldoon that she intended to cross the floor and vote for the opposition bill which would make New Zealand nuclear free, he called a snap election. And the government fell. . . This is an autobiographical account of Waring’s extraordinary years in parliament. She tells the story of her journey from being elected as a new National Party MP in a conservative rural seat to being publicly decried by the Prime Minister for her ‘feminist anti-nuclear stance’ that threatened to bring down his government. Her tale of life in a male-dominated and relentlessly demanding political world is both uniquely of its time and still of pressing relevance today.

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.

A renowned scholar argues that liberal hegemony—the policy America has pursued since the Cold War ended—is doomed to fail Named a Financial Times Best Book of 2018 “Idealists as well as realists need to read this systematic tour de force.”—Robert D. Kaplan, author of The Return of Marco Polo’s World It is widely believed in the West that the United States should spread liberal democracy across the world, foster an open international economy, and build international institutions. The policy of remaking the world in America’s image is supposed to protect human rights, promote peace, and make the world safe for democracy. But this is not what has happened. Instead, the United States has become a highly militarized state fighting wars that undermine peace, harm human rights, and threaten liberal values at home. In this major statement, the renowned international-relations scholar John Mearsheimer argues that liberal hegemony—the foreign policy pursued by the United States since the Cold War ended—is doomed to fail. It makes far more sense, he maintains, for Washington to adopt a more restrained foreign policy based on a sound understanding of how nationalism and realism constrain great powers abroad. The Great Delusion is a lucid and compelling work of the first importance for scholars, policymakers, and everyone interested in the future of American foreign policy.

Over the past two decades, the field of comparative constitutional law has emerged as a major domain of scholarly inquiry. It has also been a notable feature in judicial practice. Many of the world's leading courts are now composed of at least some members who engage with comparative materials, and thinking comparatively has developed into one of the most significant ways of engaging in constitutional analyses. Redefining Comparative Constitutional Law: Essays for Mark Tushnet reflects upon the field of comparative constitutional law. Among the most prominent figures in the development of the field in its ongoing renaissance has been Mark Tushnet. This book uses the occasion of Professor Tushnet's recent retirement from Harvard Law School to think critically about the field. Each essay takes up one of Professor Tushnet's major recent themes which focuses on variations within liberal constitutionalism and the possibility of other forms of constitutionalism that find articulation under other political regimes. In this book, leading scholars contribute to the debate over the nature of the field, including the role of empiricism and language; discussions of democracy and entrenchment; analyses of rights and courts; consideration of constitutional design; and explorations of the extent to which there are varieties of constitutionalism. At a moment of renewed stress and political debate over the relationship between democracy and constitutionalism, Redefining Comparative Constitutional Law: Essays for Mark Tushnet offers timely insights into comparative analyses of constitutional rights. Academics and students alike will benefit from the essays that range across both methodological questions and substantive analysis in the development of constitutions throughout the globe.

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.

Examining the role of the CJEU in shaping the European Union as a Normative power, this book explores the influence of the Court of Justice of the European Union on Normative Power Europe to evaluate the extent to which the CJEU’s actions consolidate normative foreign policy in third states. Combining perspectives from international relations and law, it explores the EU’s normative impact in the international arena, offering a multidimensional view which characterizes the power of the EU as a normative power while examining its role as a regulatory power alongside a historical review of the legal doctrinal development of the CJEU. Distilling the EU's uniqueness in the international arena and emphasizing that its fundamental strength lies in the technical normative power approach, the book argues that the genuine EU impact is emphasized in unique sectoral niches noting the EU’s dominance in terms of agriculture, environmental protection, privacy, and data protection or tech policies- a classic technical normative power that combines a legal basis and a value base. The book analyses several case studies which present the triangular relations between CJEU rulings, EU institutions, and third countries to identify both direct and indirect signs of a genuine normative effect. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, this book will be of interest to academics and students researching aspects of European law, international law, or international relations.

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.

Designing research can be daunting and disorienting for novices. After experiencing this first-hand, the author has written a book that shows how to mentally frame research in a way that is understandable and approachable while also discussing some of the more specific issues that will aid the reader in understanding the options available when pursuing their research. Stressing the link between research and theory-building, this concise book shows students how new knowledge is discovered through the process of research. The author presents a model that ties together research processes across the various traditions and shows how different types of research interrelate. The book is sophisticated in its presentation, but uses plain language to provide an explanation of higher-level concepts in an engaging manner. Throughout the book, the author treats research methodologies as a blueprint for answering a wide range of interesting questions, rather than simply a set of tools to be applied. The book is an excellent guide for students who will be consumers of research and who need to understand how theory and research interrelate. "The author did an excellent job on this text. This text is the missing link in explaining research methodologies. His comparison/contrasts are excellent. Moreover, the author provides interesting alternatives and discusses how each alternative might improve the validity of research." —James Anthos, South University, Columbia "...With only six chapters, the text can be covered in a short time allowing for students to spend the majority of their time investigating social issues and developing research. Students who read and understand this book will have the knowledge and resources to cover material they are unfamiliar with." —R. David Frantzreb II, University of North Carolina - Charlotte "I am looking for something just like this that is not overbearing for the student but will complement the supplementary material and resources that I am using with my students. I think the coverage is broad enough that I could use it with all of my groups." —Karen Larwin, Youngstown State University "...I think the author’s emphasis on demonstrating the relationship between theory and research is terribly important and understated in so many other texts. I also think that in the hands of competent professors, it can be supplemented with other sources to help students learn while not being encumbered financially with an expensive tome for which they may only use a fraction of it." —John R. Mitrano, Central Connecticut State University

This book examines both the need for sustainable economics and the financial practices that will underpin it. The link between rising inequality and the threat to social sustainability is highlighted to create the Economic Scale of Global Boundaries model, which realigns GDP to include quantifiable environmental and social economic gains and losses. The model is applied at both the national and company level to show its practical application for policy and everyday business practice. The impacts of inequality, declining economic growth and the impending deadlines of the Sustainable Development Goals are also discussed in detail. This book aims to highlight how principles of the circular economy and ESG can be utilized to help meet net zero targets. It will be relevant to students, researchers, organizations, and policymakers interested in environmental economics and sustainability and is written to provoke predictive thinking on the global changes ahead.

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.

<p>Putinistán es la crónica periodística y literaria, casi intimista, de la deriva de Rusia en los últimos años, desde la caída de la Unión Soviética y la esperanza en la democratización, hasta el ascenso de Vladímir Putin, desembocando en la locura del «Manicomio Z» que vendió a los rusos una guerra que al mismo tiempo se les negaba.</p><p>Las entrevistas a políticos y disidentes, los testimonios de los escritores e intelectuales o las vivencias de los soldados y los ciudadanos rusos y ucranianos trazan una compleja pero elocuente panorámica del auge del autoritarismo, del miedo, de la violencia política y de la nostalgia por el espejismo de la grandeza rusa y la creciente paranoia ante el «enemigo» exterior.</p><p>Frente a la ceguera o la connivencia de Occidente, el libro de Xavier Colás esclarece lo qué está en juego en la guerra de Ucrania, así como las consecuencias prácticas del avance del nacionalismo autoritario.</p>

En bombe eksploderer i Demokratisk Klima Fraktions hovedkontor kort før et EU-klimatopmøde i København, og organisationens eneste medarbejder dør. Flere mindre klimaaktioner kulminerer med et brandattentat mod Danmarks kontroversielle klimaminister, Ib Boldbjerg, der er kendt for at være en brutal politiker. Ulrik Torp er blevet chefredaktør på den gratis ugeavis ValbyPosten. En række – for ugeavisen uvante – kritiske artikler om Valbys lokale toppolitiker Ib Boldbjergs private boligforhold, sætter Torp på sporet af kræfter, der for enhver pris vil gøre klimatopmødet til en fiasko. Samtidig kæmper Ulrik Torp på den private front både med sit helbred og med den fortabte søn, der efter tre år pludselig vender tilbage fra Bruxelles som fuldtids klimaaktivist sammen med en ny kæreste. Til sidst tvinges Ulrik Torp til at vælge imellem karriere, klima og familie. Spændingsromanen Nedsmeltning er skrevet af Niels Krause-Kjær (f. 1963). Han er uddannet journalist og arbejder i dag som vært på DR2 Deadline. Efter en periode som pressechef for Den Konservative Folketingsgruppe skrev han den politiske thriller Kongekabale, der blev filmatiseret i 2004. Opfølgeren til Kongekabale, Mørkeland, udkom i 2019, og i 2020 fulgte tredje bind, Fandens forår.

La política de descentralización en México fue instrumentada hace más de tres décadas. El proyecto tuvo múltiples propósitos. Entre los más trascendentes se consideran: aliviar el déficit fiscal del gobierno federal, y completar el sueño federalista de tener gobiernos municipales con la capacidad de aportar a la calidad de vida cotidiana de sus habitantes. La autonomía municipal fue enunciada desde la constitución mexicana de 1917. Sin embargo, ésta se concretó varias décadas después, hasta alcanzar la formalidad en el año 1999. Fue entonces cuando se reconoció a los gobiernos municipales como el tercer orden de gobierno de la federación. Aun así, la descentralización municipal no transformó sustancialmente el modelo federal, pues continuó siendo un federalismo dual centralizado, donde cada orden de gobierno tiene atribuciones muy específicas, excluyentes, y predominan las atribuciones para el gobierno federal. En 1983 dio inicio la descentralización enfocada en los municipios; aunada al ascenso de la democracia, ambas se convirtieron en dos fuerzas para los gobiernos locales y sus procesos de gobernabilidad. En suma, como señala Pardo (2006), “la descentralización se concibe como una herramienta que permite hacer frente de una manera distinta [a] la acción pública” (p. 115). Después de tres décadas, el saldo de la descentralización municipal (para algunas instituciones como el IMCO1), es pobre en la medida que los gobiernos municipales no tienen buen desempeño; hay mala coordinación intermunicipal; existen grandes déficit de servicios públicos; hay problemas de inseguridad severos; y además, un manejo financiero ineficiente.

"Este pregón al progreso tiene su origen en Mendoza, pero fluirá por las provincias de la franja central para terminar con eclosión en la CABA y, desde allí, diseminarse al resto del país. Hemos vivido casi 40 años ininterrumpidos de Democracia. Sin embargo, los problemas socioeconómicos no solo han persistido, sino que se han agravado. Es mi interés que estas ideas vuelen alto, de modo tal que sobrepasen las oscuras y cargadas nubes de la histórica "grieta" argentina. Que expandan una conciencia colectiva en materia de Federalismo Fiscal, de modo que la población perciba este tema como una fuente importantísima de orden para nuestra Economía. Este libro pone en evidencia la injusticia y la falta de criterios técnicos en la manera de distribuir los fondos coparticipables entre las provincias, cuantificar el tamaño del Estado en las veinticuatro jurisdicciones subnacionales, y encuentra vetas fiscales para asignar de mejor manera los recursos con el objetivo de equilibrar la caja de Nación. Da señales claras por dónde caminar, pero exige reconocer y ceder. Todo en su justo medio. El análisis de la información es contundente y categórico: el aumento del gasto público consolidado, en términos de producto bruto, ha resultado pernicioso para la Economía Argentina. Argentinos, ha llegado el momento de barajar y dar de nuevo. No podemos seguir tapando nuestro excesivo gasto público consolidado con deuda y/o emisión. Uno u otro camino, conducen a más pobreza. Creo en la cultura del esfuerzo. Creo en nuestras capacidades y talentos. Creo en nuestro destino de grandeza. Solo es necesario ordenarnos fiscalmente. Lo demás vendrá por añadidura" (Alfredo Aciar).

Die Analyse und Vermittlung von literarischen Texten des frühen 19. Jahrhunderts birgt Potenziale im Hinblick auf den Umgang mit Diversität, Zugehörigkeit und Ausgrenzung. Die Beiträger*innen fragen danach, wie kulturelle Vielfalt in der musealen sowie der literaturwissenschaftlichen Praxis zu kritischen Reflexionen und zu neuen Perspektiven auf kanonisierte Gegenstände führt. Im Zentrum steht dabei das Interesse an den Optionen der Darstellung von Diversität im Literaturmuseum und in der Literaturwissenschaft. Der Band führt theoretische und praktische Zugriffe zusammen und arbeitet somit auch an einer methodisch-theoretischen Vielfalt.

Go beyond the glass and discover the secrets behind your favorite style of whiskey. Over the past three decades, Lew Bryson has been one of the most influential voices in whiskey—a longtime editor of Whisky Advocate and author of the definitive guide Tasting Whiskey. In this book, Lew shares everything he's learned on his journey through the worlds of bourbon, Scotch, rye, Japanese whiskey, and more (yes, there are tasty Canadian and Irish whiskeys as well!). In this book, you'll find it all: An overview of the different types of whiskeys, including the rules and identities of each. He also includes information on craft whiskeys, which tend to be more creative and freewheeling than the styles made by traditional producers. Exploration of the key whiskey ingredients, with a close look at the flavor contributions of malt, peat, corn, rye, wheat—even water matters. Distillation for non-distillers and the beauty of barrels: Whiskey is both an art and a science, and what's in the glass is affected by things like pot stills vs. column stills, barrel char, and of course, time. Numerous interviews with master distillers, still makers, and other artisans at the top of their field. Tasting notes throughout so you can identify the whiskeys you might want to try next. Every chapter contains a variety of unique, often behind-the-scenes photography. And with whiskey as the subject, this is a class where you'll want to do the homework!

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.

Diane Balfour was the only child of an artist who had begun life with high aspirations and ended it with disappointment. He had married young, while in France. He married a French girl, whose face was her only fortune, the daughter of an officer who died in Algiers--Diane de Lioncourt. He brought her to England, and although happy in his love and in his marriage, evil fortune seemed to pursue him. His health failed. He had genius, and if he had been strong would have left his mark on the age; the merits of Lawrence Balfour's pictures were not appreciated until after his death. He lived in France until after the birth of his daughter Diane, so named after her mother. Then they came to England and for six years remained in London. Then his wife died; and he betook himself to a wandering life. In his travels his daughter was his sole companion. Together they would wander through the cities of Italy and Spain, through Switzerland and the Rhine land, the artist teaching his daughter, imbuing her with his love of beauty and art. Lawrence Balfour preserved his daughter from all evil, from all knowledge of harm; she had no friends except the artists who visited her father's studio, and who respected the child as they would have done the presence of an angel. She not only grew up retaining all her innocence, but she learned nothing of the world. They had a reverent way of talking, these artists, and next to religion, taught her to love art. Of the shows, tricks, frauds, treachery, the deceit men and women practice she knew nothing. No one in her presence had ever talked of flirtation, love, or marriage; at sixteen she was ignorant of these things; she had never thought of a lover or of love; her father and the world of beauty filled her heart and soul. Then Lawrence Balfour found his health failing fast. Some one told him to try the warm Devonshire air, and he determined to do so.

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.

Posthumanist Collaborations in Performance presents a novel approach for readers to engage with new materialist performance as a method of qualitative inquiry and as a means of combating the anthropocentric loneliness of modern life. It offers a theoretical and practical examination of how we are fundamentally entangled with a more-than-human world through practices the authors call “naturecultural performances.” The book features a collaborative body of arts-based research by three scholars working at the intersections of performance studies, new materialism, environmental studies, and qualitative inquiry. The result is an interdisciplinary body of theoretical scholarship, including a wide array of landscapes, plants, animals, minerals, and other more-than-human agencies. The book also presents practical examples and case studies of naturecultural performances, showcasing the diverse ways in which the concept of “natureculture” can be applied in research and creative practice. This book will be of interest to faculty, graduate and undergraduate students, performance practitioners, and anyone else interested in exploring or creating work based on their own fundamental relationships with the more-than-human world.

Designing research can be daunting and disorienting for novices. After experiencing this first-hand, the author has written a book that shows how to mentally frame research in a way that is understandable and approachable while also discussing some of the more specific issues that will aid the reader in understanding the options available when pursuing their research. Stressing the link between research and theory-building, this concise book shows students how new knowledge is discovered through the process of research. The author presents a model that ties together research processes across the various traditions and shows how different types of research interrelate. The book is sophisticated in its presentation, but uses plain language to provide an explanation of higher-level concepts in an engaging manner. Throughout the book, the author treats research methodologies as a blueprint for answering a wide range of interesting questions, rather than simply a set of tools to be applied. The book is an excellent guide for students who will be consumers of research and who need to understand how theory and research interrelate. "The author did an excellent job on this text. This text is the missing link in explaining research methodologies. His comparison/contrasts are excellent. Moreover, the author provides interesting alternatives and discusses how each alternative might improve the validity of research." —James Anthos, South University, Columbia "...With only six chapters, the text can be covered in a short time allowing for students to spend the majority of their time investigating social issues and developing research. Students who read and understand this book will have the knowledge and resources to cover material they are unfamiliar with." —R. David Frantzreb II, University of North Carolina - Charlotte "I am looking for something just like this that is not overbearing for the student but will complement the supplementary material and resources that I am using with my students. I think the coverage is broad enough that I could use it with all of my groups." —Karen Larwin, Youngstown State University "...I think the author’s emphasis on demonstrating the relationship between theory and research is terribly important and understated in so many other texts. I also think that in the hands of competent professors, it can be supplemented with other sources to help students learn while not being encumbered financially with an expensive tome for which they may only use a fraction of it." —John R. Mitrano, Central Connecticut State University

This Sage Handbook presents an interdisciplinary collection of chapters exploring how to assess the quality of collecting and analysing qualitative data, while maintaining a focus on diversity, digital and critical approaches. The Handbook considers essential questions such as what is good qualitative research? What makes qualitative research good research? And, how can we make qualitative research better research? Contributions come from a wide array of experts, and highlight answers to questions from various disciplinary and geographical areas; from mixed methods to multimodal and online research, from specific types of data and methods to specific target groups, and from theoretical and epistemological contexts to those where funding has an impact on how research is done and assessed. Qualitative research has evolved in many respects in recent decades and has grown increasingly multidisciplinary. Research in general is facing new challenges around how to take diversity and decolonisation into account in what researchers do, as well as how to produce and communicate qualitative research quality. This Handbook offers a timely overview of such developments, and will support researchers involved in planning, designing, doing and evaluating qualitative research in developing an increased sensitivity for contemporary debates and challenges in the field. Part I Philosophies and Epistemologies of Qualitative Research Quality Part II Disciplinary Discourses of Qualitative Research Quality Part III Qualitative Research Quality for Specific Approaches Part IV Rethinking Qualitative Research Quality for Specific Methods and Data Part V Rethinking Strategies for Quality in Qualitative Research Part VI Rethinking Criteria for Quality in Qualitative Research Part VII Extending Contexts and Challenges for Qualitative Research Quality

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 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.’

Unraveling: An Autoethnography of Suicide and Renewal is an autoethnographic story that explores the intricate relationship among trauma, marginality, and mental health. It follows Mike Alvarez, a precocious gay teenager from an immigrant Filipino family, who loses his grip on reality as he succumbs to so-called mental illness. Divided into two parts, the first half of the book uses evocative storytelling and in-the-moment narration to capture the slow descent into anxiety, paranoia, depression, and suicidality, as experienced by the author during young adulthood. The second half of the book critically reflects upon the story through a series of analytic chapters. In these chapters, the author considers the role of narrative in cultivating empathy for the mentally ill, the psychiatric-industrial complex’s obstruction of that empathy, and the moral dilemmas autoethnographers face when writing about self, other, and the social world. This book will be suitable for scholars in the social sciences, communication studies, and healthcare, who study and use autoethnography in their research. It will also be of value to those interested in firsthand accounts of madness, as told by members of marginalized communities.

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.

This second edition is an updated version of an introductory level textbook intended for students who are interested in understanding the mechanical properties of smooth muscle. Compared with skeletal and cardiac muscles, smooth muscle is the least understood in terms of its contraction mechanism and the structure of its contractile apparatus. Nevertheless, it is an important tissue that is vital in many organ functions, such as blood pressure control, intestinal peristalsis, and the emptying of the bladder. Dysfunction of the muscle has been implicated in many diseases such as high blood pressure, asthma, and overactive bladders. This is the only book-length treatment of functional models of a variety of smooth muscle behaviors with their corresponding mathematical descriptions, and offers an easy-to-follow, step-by-step mathematical derivation that will help students to appreciate the muscle cell as a fine-tuned aggregate of mechanisms governed by the fundamental laws of physics. In addition to providing a detailed description of the known subcellular structure and mechanical function of the contractile apparatus of smooth muscle, it also covers experimentation techniques, instrumentation, and data analysis. The book is a must-have information source for anyone interested in smooth muscle cell ultrastructure, physiology, biochemistry, and pharmacology.

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.

This book presents the evolution of the Powerful Geography approach to teaching and learning in the United States and how the approach can be adapted and implemented in other countries. Powerful Geography acknowledges the remarkable diversity that exists in classrooms, the wide-ranging interests of modern students and the desire of these students to translate dynamic subject-matter into “useful” information and concepts, a process that is consistent with modern educational theory. For Powerful Geography to work in secondary and postsecondary education, teachers and university professors must adapt and teach geography as a critical training where individual students see opportunities to apply geography content, skills, and technology to real world problems that they care about. This book challenges geography educators at all levels to strengthen their applied curriculum in order to help students prepare for jobs and careers in broad areas such as climate change, migration, environmental protection, natural resources, energy development and use, transport planning, supply chain logistics, global trade, national security, and infrastructure.

Wheat provides over 20% of the calories for the world population of 5. 3 billion persons. It is widely grown in five of the six continents. It is a highly versatile food product in that it can be stored safely for long periods of time and transported in bulk over long distances. In relative terms, it is reasonably priced; over the past quarter century, the inflation-adjusted price of wheat has been declining. Modern milling and baking technology required for the transformation of wheat grain into consumable baked products is available or accessible in all countries of the world. For these reasons, and because Canada is one of world's leading wheat producing countries, it seemed appropriate to include a major symposium on wheat in the scientific and technical program of the 8th World Congress of Food Science and Technology held in Toronto, Canada during September 29-0ctober 4, 1992. In selecting the topics for the symposium on wheat, we attempted to cover a full range of subjects including economics and marketing, nutrition, grading, processing, constituent chemistry and functionality, biote- nology, and safety of genetically modified wheat varieties. The major focus was on common hard (bread) wheats; separate papers were devoted to the unique characteristics and technological properties of common soft (biscuit) and durum (pasta) wheats. Each paper was presented by an acknowledged international expert. This book provides a more permanent record of the papers presented at the symposium.

We have written this book as a guide to the design and analysis of field studies of resource selection, concentrating primarily on statistical aspects of the comparison of the use and availability of resources of different types. Our intended audience is field ecologists in general and, in particular, wildlife and fisheries biologists who are attempting to measure the extent to which real animal populations are selective in their choice of food and habitat. As such, we have made no attempt to address those aspects of theoretical ecology that are concerned with how animals might choose their resources if they acted in an optimal manner. The book is based on the concept of a resource selection function (RSF), where this is a function of characteristics measured on resourceunits such that its value for a unit is proportional to the probability of that unit being used. We argue that this concept leads to a unified theory for the analysis and interpretation of data on resource selection and can replace many ad hoc statistical methods that have been used in the past.

Les archées (ou Archaea) constituent un nouveau domaine du vivant au côté des bactéries et des eucaryotes. Ces micro-organismes sont uniques par leurs aspects cellulaires et moléculaires. Ils possèdent des liens évolutifs avec les premières cellules eucaryotes et sont désormais utilisés pour élucider des questions biologiques fondamentales. Championnes de l’extrêmophilie, les archées permettent de lever le voile sur les limites du vivant sur Terre. Les archées, micro-organismes du troisième domaine du vivant 2 expose les divers mécanismes moléculaires impliqués dans les processus fondamentaux du maintien des génomes et de la régulation de l’expression génique des cellules d’archées. Cet ouvrage met en lumière la complexité des machineries nécessaires à la réplication du chromosome, à la réparation de l’ADN, ainsi qu’aux voies de synthèse des ARN (transcription) et des protéines (traduction). Il explore également les différentes classes d’ARN et d’enzymes intervenant dans la maturation et la dégradation des ARN, qui régulent la stabilité des ARN messagers et des ARN non codants régulateurs, et contribuent à la formation des formes matures des ARN ribosomiques et des ARN de transfert. En outre, ces mécanismes moléculaires s’avèrent fortement apparenté à celles des eucaryotes.

Die Historischen Grundwissenschaften gelten als Traditionsfach schlechthin. Die Wiege der modernen Geschichtsforschung liegt in der ab dem 17. Jahrhundert zunehmend professionell betriebenen Urkundenkritik. Im Zusammenhang mit der editorischen Aufbereitung antiker und mittelalterlicher Texte hat sich die Geschichtswissenschaft besonders im 19. Jahrhundert entscheidend weiterentwickelt. Gerade aufgrund ihres erschließenden Charakters und ihrer Werkzeugfunktion sind die Historischen Grundwissenschaften seit jeher mit einer Reihe prinzipieller Fragen konfrontiert, die auf eine Bestimmung ihrer Identität abzielen. Dazu gehört auch die wieder aktuell gewordene Frage nach dem Kanon grundwissenschaftlicher Disziplinen. Im Mittelpunkt des vorliegenden Bandes steht das Thema der "Grenzen" der Grundwissenschaften. Die hier versammelten Beiträge möchten zur weiteren Diskussion anregen und auf diese Weise einen Beitrag zur allgemeinen Debatte über das Profil des Faches leisten. Zum einen wird nach den methodischen Grenzen klassischer Disziplinen wie der Diplomatik gefragt, zum anderen auf die Stellung von "kleineren" und "jüngeren" Disziplinen wie etwa der Genealogie, Philatelie und historischen Fachinformatik eingegangen.

El nacimiento de la Agricultura y el desarrollo de las técnicas agrarias han jugado un papel primordial en la propia historia social y cultural de la Humanidad. En este libro se ha tratado de estudiar la evolución de las técnicas y ciencias agrarias desde su nacimiento hasta la actualidad, siguiendo un enfoque cronológico basado en el análisis de las distintas etapas y civilizaciones históricas, en un principio desde una óptica más generalista y globalizadora y posteriormente, más centrada en el contexto europeo y sus proyecciones culturales, con una especial atención a la Agricultura española. En la exposición se ha pretendido conseguir un sincretismo entre la propia evolución de las técnicas agrarias, las distintas aportaciones básicas de la Ciencia a la Agricultura, y su propia proyección tecnológica cultural, social y económica, en cada uno de los períodos históricos contemplados, hasta llegar a la aparición de la Agronomía como Ciencia, analizando sus avances y comentando asimismo algunos de los debates suscitados ante el importante progreso conseguido. Entre los aspectos que son abordados en este libro, pueden destacarse: los relacionados con el origen de la Agricultura, su consolidación como técnica y su influencia en los modelos más antiguos de civilización; la descripción de los sistemas agrarios en las principales civilizaciones históricas y sus conexiones con otras ciencias en los distintos períodos históricos; el afianzamiento de la Agronomía, en los últimos doscientos cincuenta años, como Ciencia Aplicada y su espectacular repercusión en la sociedad contemporánea como motor del desarrollo económico y social, todo ello junto con las controversias de todo tipo, principalmente las medioambientales, que se plantean a principios del siglo XXI frente a una concepción agronómica marcadamente productivista y movilizadora de grandes insumos en las sociedades más avanzadas. La nueva edición de esta obra ha sido considerablemente ampliada y actualizada con respecto a la anterior.

It has been my intention in this book to give a coordinated treatment of the whole of theoretical geophysics. The book assumes a mathematical back ground through calculus and differential equations. It also assumes a reason able background in physics and in elementary vector analysis. The level of the book is commensurate with that of a senior undergraduate or first year graduate course. Its aim is to provide the reader with a survey of the whole of theoretical geophysics. The emphasis has been on the basic and the elementary. The expert in any one of the several disciplines covered here will find much lacking from his particular area of investigation; no apology is made for that. In order to treat all aspects in a coordinated manner, the simplest type of mathematical nota tion for the various physical problems has been used, namely, that of scalars, three-dimensional vectors, and the vector operators, gradient, curl, divergence, etc. It is appreciated that this elementary notation often may not be the most conducive to the solution of some of the more complex geophysical problems. The derivations are, in almost every case, carried through in considerable detail. Sometimes the particulars of the algebra and calculus have been omitted and relegated to one of the problems following the section. The emphasis has been on the physics of the derivations and on explaining the various physical principles important in geophysics, such as continuity, mixing, diffusion, conduction, convection, precession, wobble, rays, waves, dispersion, and potential theory.

This textbook can be used for the second required course in fluid mechanics. It can be used for the mechanical engineering or civil engineering programs. This book reviews the more conventional elemental approach for pipe flow, channel flow, and flow between cylinders. It discusses the derivation and application of the Navier-Stokes equations to several flow situations. The content presented in this book is especially designed for civil engineering students, with detailed text on open channel flow, piping systems, turbomachinery, and for mechanical engineering students, with detailed text on the potential flow, external flows including boundary-layer theory and compressible flow. The text is designed to allow students to better understand each topic, aided by numerous examples and home problems. Students often find it quite difficult to understand many concepts encountered in fluid mechanics, such as laminar flow, the entrance region, the separated region, and turbulence. The book ensures that these concepts are presented correctly and in an easy-to-understand format. This book also presents all derivations and phenomena in such a way that they are more easily understood when compared with the presentations of other textbooks.

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.

¿Por qué es tan fácil para cualquier niño descubrir de manera implícita las reglas ocultas del lenguaje y tan difícil memorizar listas o multiplicar números de muchos dígitos? Para explorar el desarrollo de la educación con una mirada complementaria y desde la usina del pensamiento, reunimos en cada capítulo a los referentes más destacados de la neurociencia y de la ciencia cognitiva. Exploramos así un espacio de encuentro inevitable entre la cognición y la educación, en el que es preciso desgranar las operaciones que nos permiten hacer aquello que hacemos: las palabras, las frases, las preposiciones, la sintaxis del pensamiento. "Enfrentar con valentía el desafío de entender el mundo del pensamiento es una de las tareas más ciclópeas que nos queda a los seres humanos. No es fácil generar experimentos que ayuden a describir dónde se depositan las ideas, cómo se transfieren, cómo se conectan, como se desarrollan, como mutan, como interactúan. Este libro, sin ninguna duda, es un excelente aporte en esa dirección". Adrián Paenza

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.

Chemical education is essential to everybody because it deals with ideas that play major roles in personal, social, and economic decisions. This book is based on three principles: that all aspects of chemical education should be associated with research; that the development of opportunities for chemical education should be both a continuous process and be linked to research; and that the professional development of all those associated with chemical education should make extensive and diverse use of that research. It is intended for: pre-service and practising chemistry teachers and lecturers; chemistry teacher educators; chemical education researchers; the designers and managers of formal chemical curricula; informal chemical educators; authors of textbooks and curriculum support materials; practising chemists and chemical technologists. It addresses: the relation between chemistry and chemical education; curricula for chemical education; teaching and learning about chemical compounds and chemical change; the development of teachers; the development of chemical education as a field of enquiry. This is mainly done in respect of the full range of formal education contexts (schools, universities, vocational colleges) but also in respect of informal education contexts (books, science centres and museums).

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.

A New Yorker Best Book of 2024 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.

Focusing on cultural values and norms as they are translated into politics and policy outcomes, this book presents a unique contribution in combining research from varied disciplines and from both the developed and developing world. This collection draws from multiple perspectives to present an overview of the knowledge related to our current understanding of climate change politics and culture. It is divided into four sections – Culture and Values, Communication and Media, Politics and Policy, and Future Directions in Climate Politics Scholarship – each followed by a commentary from a key expert in the field. The book includes analysis of the challenges and opportunities for establishing successful communication on climate change among scientists, the media, policy-makers, and activists. With an emphasis on the interrelation between social, cultural, and political aspects of climate change communication, this volume should be of interest to students and scholars of climate change, environment studies, environmental policy, communication, cultural studies, media studies, politics, sociology.

Despite their importance in sustaining livelihoods for many people living along some of the world’s most populous coastlines, tropical mangrove forests are disappearing at an alarming rate. Occupying a crucial place between land and sea, these tidal ecosystems provide a valuable ecological and economic resource as important nursery grounds and breeding sites for many organisms, and as a renewable source of wood and traditional foods and medicines. Perhaps most importantly, they are accumulation sites for sediment, contaminants, carbon and nutrients, and offer significant protection against coastal erosion. This book presents a functional overview of mangrove forest ecosystems; how they live and grow at the edge of tropical seas, how they play a critical role along most of the world’s tropical coasts, and how their future might look in a world affected by climate change. Such a process-oriented approach is necessary in order to further understand the role of these dynamic forests in ecosystem function, and as a first step towards developing adequate strategies for their conservation and sustainable use and management. The book will provide a valuable resource for researchers in mangrove ecology as well as reference for resource managers.

Ethical sourcing, both through fair trade and ethical trade, is increasingly entering the mainstream of food retailing. Large supermarkets have come under pressure to improve the returns to small producers and conditions of employment within their supply chains. But how effective is ethical sourcing? Can it genuinely address the problems facing workers and producers in the global food system? Is it a new form of northern protectionism or can southern initiatives be developed to create a more sustainable approach to ethical sourcing? How can the rights and participation of workers and small producers be enhanced, given the power and dominance of large supermarkets within the global food chain? What role can civil society and multistakeholder initiatives play in ensuring the effectiveness of ethical sourcing? This book brings together a range of academics and practitioners working on issues of ethical sourcing in the global food system. It critically explores the opportunities and challenges in the ethical sourcing of food by combining analysis and case studies that examine a range of approaches. It explores whether ethical sourcing is a cosmetic northern initiative, or can genuinely help to improve the conditions of small producers and workers in the current global food system.

This book is also suitable as a secondary text for graduate-level students in Forestry, Environmental Science, Geography, Engineering, and Computer Science.

Wheat provides over 20% of the calories for the world population of 5. 3 billion persons. It is widely grown in five of the six continents. It is a highly versatile food product in that it can be stored safely for long periods of time and transported in bulk over long distances. In relative terms, it is reasonably priced; over the past quarter century, the inflation-adjusted price of wheat has been declining. Modern milling and baking technology required for the transformation of wheat grain into consumable baked products is available or accessible in all countries of the world. For these reasons, and because Canada is one of world's leading wheat producing countries, it seemed appropriate to include a major symposium on wheat in the scientific and technical program of the 8th World Congress of Food Science and Technology held in Toronto, Canada during September 29-0ctober 4, 1992. In selecting the topics for the symposium on wheat, we attempted to cover a full range of subjects including economics and marketing, nutrition, grading, processing, constituent chemistry and functionality, biote- nology, and safety of genetically modified wheat varieties. The major focus was on common hard (bread) wheats; separate papers were devoted to the unique characteristics and technological properties of common soft (biscuit) and durum (pasta) wheats. Each paper was presented by an acknowledged international expert. This book provides a more permanent record of the papers presented at the symposium.

We have written this book as a guide to the design and analysis of field studies of resource selection, concentrating primarily on statistical aspects of the comparison of the use and availability of resources of different types. Our intended audience is field ecologists in general and, in particular, wildlife and fisheries biologists who are attempting to measure the extent to which real animal populations are selective in their choice of food and habitat. As such, we have made no attempt to address those aspects of theoretical ecology that are concerned with how animals might choose their resources if they acted in an optimal manner. The book is based on the concept of a resource selection function (RSF), where this is a function of characteristics measured on resourceunits such that its value for a unit is proportional to the probability of that unit being used. We argue that this concept leads to a unified theory for the analysis and interpretation of data on resource selection and can replace many ad hoc statistical methods that have been used in the past.

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.

This lavishly illustrated guide will enable you to identify the caterpillars of nearly 700 butterflies and moths found east of the Mississippi.

As scientific and observational evidence on global warming piles up every day, questions of economic policy in this central environmental topic have taken center stage. But as author and prominent Yale economist William Nordhaus observes, the issues involved in understanding global warming and slowing its harmful effects are complex and cross disciplinary boundaries. For example, ecologists see global warming as a threat to ecosystems, utilities as a debit to their balance sheets, and farmers as a hazard to their livelihoods. In this important work, William Nordhaus integrates the entire spectrum of economic and scientific research to weigh the costs of reducing emissions against the benefits of reducing the long-run damages from global warming. The book offers one of the most extensive analyses of the economic and environmental dynamics of greenhouse-gas emissions and climate change and provides the tools to evaluate alternative approaches to slowing global warming. The author emphasizes the need to establish effective mechanisms, such as carbon taxes, to harness markets and harmonize the efforts of different countries. This book not only will shape discussion of one the world’s most pressing problems but will provide the rationales and methods for achieving widespread agreement on our next best move in alleviating global warming.

This practical manual stands out for its accessibility to both novice farmers and seasoned professionals, providing clear guidance for transitioning from conventional pest control to integrated management systems. The book addresses contemporary challenges, including climate change impacts on pest populations, while offering solutions for various agricultural settings. Through its methodical approach to sustainable agriculture, readers gain actionable strategies for implementing IPM principles in their specific contexts, whether managing small gardens or large commercial operations.

This essential reference provides an introduction to the remarkable soils and landscapes of Australia. It reveals their great diversity and explains why an understanding of soil properties and landscape processes should guide our use of the land. Using striking photographs of characteristic landscapes, it begins by describing the basic properties of soils and how Australia's distinctive soils and landscapes have co-evolved. We gain a greater understanding of why particular soils occur at certain locations and how soil variation can influence landscape processes, agricultural productivity and ecosystem function. The book explains the impact of various forms of land use and the changes they can bring about in soil. 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.

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.

This book focuses on the long-term interactions between people and nature in and around Lake Biwa, one of the oldest lakes in the world. Accordingly, it not only covers the characteristics of the biota of this ancient lake, but also approaches it as a ‘cultural ancient lake.’ Furthermore, various problems affecting the lake, especially recent environmental changes that occurred before and after Japan’s rapid economic growth of the 1950s and 60s, are reviewed, including water pollution, lakeshore development and the reclamation of attached lakes, alien and invasive species, and problems related to the recent warming of the climate. Lastly, by analyzing data on these problems collected by the local government and residents of the lake basin, the book provides a comprehensive outlook on the future of Lake Biwa and people’s lifestyles. As such, it provides indispensable information for all people engaged in improving and conserving water regimes around the world, as well as people interested in the culture and history of Japan.

Stretching across southern Mexico, northern Guatemala, and Belize, the Maya Forest, or Selva Maya, constitutes one of the last large blocks of tropical forest remaining in North and Central America. Home to Mayan-speaking people for more than 5,000 years, the region is also uncommonly rich in cultural and archaeological resources. Timber, Tourists, and Temples brings together the leading biologists, social scientists, and conservationists working in the region to present in a single volume information on the intricate social and political issues, and the complex scientifc and management problems to be resolved there. Following an introductory chapter that presents GIS and remote sensing data, the book: considers perspectives on managing forest resources and the forestry and conservation policies of each nation examines efforts by communities to manage their forest resources explains the connections between resource conservation and use by local people highlights research projects that integrate baseline biological research with impact assessments explains the need to involve local people in conservation effort Timber, Tourists, and Temples explores methods of supporting the biological foundation of the Maya Forest and keeping alive that unique and diverse ecosystem. While many areas face similar development pressures, few have been studied as much or for as long as the Maya Forest. The wealth of information included in this pathbreaking work will be valuable not only for researchers involved with the Maya Forest but for anyone concerned with the protection, use, and management of tropical forest ecosystems throughout the world.

Managing Disaster Risks to Cultural Heritage presents case studies from different regions in the world and establishes a framework for understanding, identifying, and analysing disaster risks to immovable cultural heritage. Featuring contributions from academics and practitioners from around the globe, the book presents a comprehensive view of the scholarship relating to cultural heritage, disaster risk preparedness, and post-disaster recovery. Particular attention is given to the complex and dynamic nature of disaster risks and how they evolve during different phases of a catastrophic event, especially as hazards can create secondary effects that have greater impacts on cultural heritage, infrastructure, and economy. Arguing that risk preparedness and mitigation have historically been secondary to reactive emergency and first aid response, the book demonstrates that preparedness plans based on sound risk assessments can prevent hazards from becoming disasters. Emphasising that the protection of cultural heritage through preparedness, mitigation actions, and risk adaptation measures – especially for climate change – can contribute to the resilience of societies, the book highlights the vital role of communities in such activities. Managing Disaster Risks to Cultural Heritage will be useful to students, professionals, and scholars studying and working with cultural heritage protection. It will be of particular interest to those working in the fields of Cultural Heritage, Archaeology, Conservation and Preservation, Sustainable Development, and Disaster Studies.

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.

Seit Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts nehmen Konflikte um Land und Ressourcen in vielen lateinamerikanischen Ländern stark zu. Dieses Phänomen einer vermehrt neo-extraktivistisch orientierten Politik bedroht insbesondere Gebiete, in denen indigene Gemeinschaften leben. Im Kontext des indigenen Filmschaffens sind derartige Konflikte daher ein zentrales Thema. Wie werden Machtverhältnisse, unterschiedliche territoriale Vorstellungen und Mensch-Umwelt-Beziehungen hier verhandelt? Teresa Millesi analysiert eine Auswahl von Filmen unter Einbezug raumwissenschaftlicher und ökokritischer Ansätze. Im Zentrum steht dabei die Bedeutsamkeit der Filme als Widerstandspraxis gegen die nationalstaatliche Hegemonie.

Voyage of the Beagle chronicles Charles Darwin's five years as a naturalist on board the H.M.S. Beagle. The notes and observations that he recorded in his diary included Chile, Argentina and Galapagos Islands and encompasses the ecology, geology and anthropology of the places he visits. A fascinating travel memoir the ideas that were later to evolve into Darwin's theory of natural selection find their naissance in Voyage of the Beagle.

**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.

In 1996, after more than a decade of researching the effects of over-population and the consequent pollution of the greater metropolitan New York City area, Carl Sindermann published his observations and conclusions in Ocean Pollution: Effects on Living Resources and Humans, a mostly technical document that emphasized the pathological effects of co

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).

Any mention of the "greenhouse effect" tends to ignite controversy. While the rising atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases-especially carbon dioxide- are certainly among the most pressing issues today, theoretical and perceived consequences have been subject to conjecture and misinformation. That raging debate has obscured an important

We have entered a new era where business, technologies, communities, and even pandemic deceases cross borders with unprecedented speed and intensity. 2030 Agenda and 17 SDGs reflect the global community's high expectations of finally reversing the destruction of our natural and social habits, and achieving a more balanced and equitable pathways toward well-being of all. However, despite the initial efforts, the world is not on track to achieving the most of the 169 targets that comprise the goals. It is evident that we have a system problem, so we need a system solution. Authors presented a hierarchical system consisting of two-level management systems: first level—unsustainability reduction systems and second level—control system for transformations toward sustainability. The book clearly shows that implementation of systems for unsustainability reduction and for transformations toward sustainability is possible, and that sufficient knowledge is available to get started. It is designed for researchers, practitioners, and politicians.

The demand for plant foods in all global markets has been increasing along with awareness of greenhouse gases generated from animal farming, expanded sentiments against animal slaughtering and common perception of the health benefits of plant food products. Accordingly, more attention has been placed on green processing of plant foods for the optimization of their nutritional and health benefits. Sprouted vegetable products have been studied and reported in many scientific investigations to qualitatively improve the phytochemistry, enhance the nutritional profile and improve the biological functionality potentials of such vegetables beyond their initial natural states. Vegetable sprouts have been reported to possess aspects that make them serviceable for the management of metabolic syndrome disorders such as diabetes, hypertension, cancer and other health issues related to cellular oxidation of body cells, and antimicrobial bioactive components have been isolated from vegetable sprouts. Advances in Plant Sprouts: Phytochemistry and Biofunctionalities provides a singular source on recent advances in studies about the dietetic and nutraceutical potencies of vegetable sprouts and increases awareness on the possibility of processing plant foods to make them more nutritionally beneficial. Green production is another important aspect of this text since plant foods processed by sprouting are free of agrochemicals, consume less energy and utilize less manpower, making them easy to produce and environmentally friendly as well. Consumption and production of sprouted vegetables has been increasing in recent years, and this text covers the production and nutritional aspects of all the major sprout groups.

Vegetation communities in Australia's riverine landscapes are ecologically, economically and culturally significant. They are also among the most threatened ecosystems on the continent and have been dramatically altered as a result of human activities and climate change. Vegetation of Australian Riverine Landscapes brings together, for the first time, the results of the substantial amount of research that has been conducted over the last few decades into the biology, ecology and management of these important plant communities in Australia. The book is divided into four sections. The first section provides context with respect to the spatial and temporal dimensions of riverine landscapes in Australia. The second section examines key groups of riverine plants, while the third section provides an overview of riverine vegetation in five major regions of Australia, including patterns, significant threats and management. The final section explores critical issues associated with the conservation and management of riverine plants and vegetation, including water management, salinity, fire and restoration. Vegetation of Australian Riverine Landscapes highlights the incredible diversity and dynamic nature of riverine vegetation across Australia, and will be an excellent reference for researchers, academics and environmental consultants.

As recently as 11,000 years ago—"near time" to geologists—mammoths, mastodons, gomphotheres, ground sloths, giant armadillos, native camels and horses, the dire wolf, and many other large mammals roamed North America. In what has become one of science's greatest riddles, these large animals vanished in North and South America around the time humans arrived at the end of the last great ice age. Part paleontological adventure and part memoir, Twilight of the Mammoths presents in detail internationally renowned paleoecologist Paul Martin's widely discussed and debated "overkill" hypothesis to explain these mysterious megafauna extinctions. Taking us from Rampart Cave in the Grand Canyon, where he finds himself "chest deep in sloth dung," to other important fossil sites in Arizona and Chile, Martin's engaging book, written for a wide audience, uncovers our rich evolutionary legacy and shows why he has come to believe that the earliest Americans literally hunted these animals to death. As he discusses the discoveries that brought him to this hypothesis, Martin relates many colorful stories and gives a rich overview of the field of paleontology as well as his own fascinating career. He explores the ramifications of the overkill hypothesis for similar extinctions worldwide and examines other explanations for the extinctions, including climate change. Martin's visionary thinking about our missing megafauna offers inspiration and a challenge for today's conservation efforts as he speculates on what we might do to remedy this situation—both in our thinking about what is "natural" and in the natural world itself.

This volume brings together scholars working in diverse traditions of the humanities in order to offer a comprehensive analysis of the environmental catastrophe as the modern-day apocalypse. Drawing on philosophy, theology, history, literature, art history, psychoanalysis, as well as queer and decolonial theories, the authors included in this book expound the meaning of the climate apocalypse, reveal its presence in our everyday experiences, and examine its impact on our intellectual, imaginative, and moral practices. Importantly, the chapters show that eco-apocalypticism can inform progressively transformative discourses about climate change. In so doing, they demonstrate the fruitfulness of understanding the environmental catastrophe from within an apocalyptic framework, carving a much-needed path between two unsatisfactory approaches to the climate disaster: first, the conservative impulse to preserve the status quo responsible for today’s crisis, and second, the reckless acceptance of the destructive effects of climate change. This book will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars interested in the contributions of both apocalypticism and the humanities to contemporary ecological debates.

Author Holly Sprinkle unveils the secrets hidden within Florida's aquatic wonders. Florida's springs swirl a spectrum of greens and blues with a crystal clarity seen nowhere else in the world. "Springhunting" is a cherished regional pastime, but these ancient oases have served as a beacon for humans and beasts alike since time immemorial. Giant sloths, mammoths and armadillos once centered their lives around these springs--the endangered West Indian Manatee still seeks refuge in the relatively warm springs during the winter months. These enchanting waters sustain ecosystems and inspire everything from feelings of deep serenity to legends involving curses, ghosts and alien visitation.

In Conscious (R)Evolution, Humanity, Insanity, and the Planet, the author brings together two powerful insights: that all life on this planet is interconnected, and that humanity’s current path of consumerism and industrialization is leading to catastrophe. From deforestation to pollution, we are damaging the very environment that sustains us. This book asks us to stop and consider the bigger picture: as an intelligent species, why would we willingly destroy the planet that gave us life? With urgency and clarity, the author calls for a new way of living, one that recognizes our place in the natural world and uses our intelligence to create a better future for all.

Global warming and human-driven impacts are changing the World’s ecological zones. This book applies the principles described in Bailey’s Ecosystem Geography: From Ecoregions to Sites, 2nd ed. (Springer 2009, 1st ed. 1996) to describe and characterize the major terrestrial and aquatic ecological zones of the Earth. Bailey’s system for classifying these zones has been adopted by major organizations such as the U.S. Forest Service and The Nature Conservancy and this book is a significant contribution to a long tradition of classifying and studying the world’s ecological regions or ecoregions. It includes two color maps that show the major ecoregions of the continents and oceans. Also included are: - 106 illustrations with 55 in full color - A new chapter on mountains is included. - There are new sections that address concerns about how eco regions are changing under the relentless influence of humans and climate change - Another new feature is the discussion of using eco regional patterns to transfer research results and select sites for detecting climate change effects on ecosystem distribution - Use of ecoregional patterns to design monitoring networks and sustainable landscapes - Fire regimes in different regional ecosystems and their management implications.

In addition, there are summaries of evaporite karst hazards, exploitative methods and problems that can arise in dealing with evaporites in conventional and solution mining. This second edition has been revised and extended, with three new chapters focusing on ore minerals in different temperature settings and a chapter on meta-evaporites. Written by a field specialist in research and exploration, the book presents a comprehensive overview of the realms of low- and high-temperature evaporite evolution. It is aimed at earth science professionals, sedimentologists, oil and gas explorers, mining geologists as well as environmental geologists.

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.

Digital healthcare is heterogeneous along the entire treatment pathway, ranging from monitoring applications and artificial-intelligence-based diagnostics, to support for virtual reality surgery. Since the introduction of the Digital Health Act in Germany in early 2020, there has been a push toward digital innovative solutions, especially in the outpatient sector. This book analyzes current digital health law from an economic perspective, combining theory with real-world applications. It examines both the incentives and market access pathways for digital solutions and the price effects brought about by the new regulatory framework in Germany. Further, it discusses the difficulties in pricing due to the monopolistic BfArM register and negotiations with the association of all German health insurance companies. The book addresses a wide range of topics, including incentives for innovation, specifics of digital health applications, reimbursement and financing options for digital health solutions. Lastly, it presents an outlook for the future and a comparison between Germany and other countries, namely the USA and Japan. Given its scope, this book will appeal to scholars of health economics, healthcare management and public health, as well as practitioners and professionals in the public health sector.

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).

La historia de la Anatomía y parcialmente la de la Cirugía, está formada por una multitud de biografías todas ellas entrelazadas de diversas maneras, pero con un nexo de unión común: la búsqueda del conocimiento del cuerpo humano. Entendida así, la historia de la anatomía no es otra cosa que una parte de la propia historia de la humanidad. Debo reconocer que es imposible incluir en este libro a todos aquellos personajes que la hicieron posible, pero mi objetivo es incluir a todos aquellos que han participado de una Anatomía o Cirugía practicada directamente sobre el cadáver, intentando destacar a muchos de ellos que han sido maltratados por la historia, relegados o incluso olvidados por diversos motivos que a día de hoy solo la historia de su tiempo conoce. No puedo decir pues, que esta historia mía sea completa, eso sería imposible, solo he podido incluir a aquellos personajes sobre los que se dispone de documentación previa, pero les advierto que no he dejado fuera a ninguno que aparezca hasta en un pequeño manual o publicación, teniendo siempre una especial atención con los personajes españoles que han sido tan injustamente tratados por otros autores.

La experimentada osteópata y terapeuta del trauma Sandra Hintringer nos enseña cómo nosotros mismos podemos mejorar el funcionamiento del nervio vago y así lograr un mayor bienestar físico. La autora describe la estructura y el funcionamiento del sistema nervioso autónomo de forma clara y comprensible y nos habla sobre el desarrollo de la depresión, el trauma y otros trastornos emocionales. En la parte práctica del libro encontraremos ejercicios para trabajar la percepción, la respiración y nuestro cuerpo que pueden ayudarnos a regular nuestro organismo y a restablecer de esta manera nuestro equilibrio mental. Tres patrones de respuesta del sistema nervioso El sistema nervioso autónomo actúa al margen de nuestra voluntad, sin nuestra intervención activa o control consciente y, en la mayoría de los casos, pasa desapercibido. Trabaja día y noche sin descanso e independientemente de lo que estemos haciendo, y es responsable de mantenernos a salvo. Para ello, el sistema nervioso puede recurrir a tres patrones de respuesta distintos. La jerarquía de estos patrones es un refl ejo de la evolución del sistema nervioso humano. • El vago dorsal es el más antiguo de ellos y proporciona el modo de parálisis o sumisión. • El modo simpático, más joven, nos proporciona la energía necesaria para luchar o huir. •El vago ventral, que desea que nos comuniquemos y regulemos. Los ejercicios de este libro te ayudarán a regular los tres patrones para conocer tu terapeuta interior.

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.

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.

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.

There are millions of people who experience issues related to brain health—depression, attention issues, anxiety, forgetfulness, fatigue, and even chronic pain—yet can’t figure out what’s causing their problems and can’t find any relief. They may have seen a myriad of doctors, many of whom do not take their complaints seriously, or worse, turn to the easy, often inappropriate fix of antidepressants or anti-anxiety medications. Traditional medications, supplements, or other therapies haven’t worked. No matter what their age—from children to teens or seniors—people and their loved ones are frustrated, scared, and confused by their continued poor health. Countless others display severe psychiatric symptoms that seem to come out of nowhere, ranging from tics, obsessive-compulsive behaviors and anxiety, to depression, bipolar-like mood swings, and even borderline personality disorder and suicidal ideas. Sometimes, the people affected are the only ones that notices a change to the way they think or feel, and they suffer in silence. Or, they reach out to try to get help, and are all too frequently misdiagnosed. David Younger, a world-renowned physician, provides relief to these patients and their families. His diagnostic techniques and treatment protocols will help readers identify the true cause of their symptoms and put them on a clear path to healing so they no longer feel unbalanced, out of control, forgetful, and exhausted. The Autoimmune Brain connects common brain health symptoms to the changes in the immune system, and particularly bacterial, viral, and parasitic infections. Younger explains his groundbreaking research and adds a new component: how traumatic stress (whether physical or emotional) and genetics affects this same triad as inextricable factors in initiating disease and brain health symptoms. In fact, a change in personality, behavior, coping style, and one’s emotional state may be the first clue that there is a health problem brewing somewhere else in the body. Readers will find new answers to troubling conditions, including: Alzheimer’s disease; Anxiety; Arthritis; Autism; Autonomic disturbances; Bacterial and viral infections; Bipolar Disorder; Cancer; Celiac disease and gluten intolerances; Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (now referred to as Systemic Exertion Intolerance Disease); Chronic Pain; Dementia; Depression; Endocrine Disorders; Immune modulatory therapy using IVIg; Lyme disease and co-infections; Mast cell activation syndrome; Medical cannabis; Obsessive Compulsive Disorder; Orthostatic hypotension; Peripheral Neuropathy; Porphyria; Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder; and Postural orthostatic tachycardia.

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.

El trabajo, eje transversal en el desarrollo económico y social, es un proceso necesario que busca la trasformación del entorno y sus recursos para la búsqueda de un bienestar colectivo e individual del ser humano. Las recientes transformaciones en el mundo del trabajo y la búsqueda de una relación armónica entre trabajo y salud obligan a que gobierno, academia y sociedad investiguen e implementen medidas de adaptación a los desafíos en salud, pues se exige hoy una mayor evidencia desde el campo científico para abordar aspectos como las condiciones extralaborales e individuales del trabajador.

In this autobiography, Sir Peter Mansfield describes his life from war time childhood that initially sparked his interest in physics to his work in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that eventually led to the award of the Nobel Prize in 2003. Peter Mansfield grew up in London, but was evacuated to Devon during the blitz and following the V1 and V2 attacks on London. At the end of hostilities, he worked briefly in the printing industry before deciding to pursue his real interests in science by joining the Rocket Propulsion Department at Westcott near Aylesbury. Following a period of National Service and his studies at Queen Mary College, University of London, he married and moved to the USA for two years, returning in 1964 as a Lecturer in Physics at the University of Nottingham. In 1972 he spent a sabbatical period in Heidelberg, and during this period corresponded with his student, Peter Grannell, in Nottingham on the novel idea of magnetic resonance imaging. This led to his first paper on MRI which was presented at the first Specialised Colloque Ampère in 1973. During this period, he demonstrated how the MRI radio signals can be analysed and turned into images of the body. In 2003 the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded jointly to Sir Peter and Paul Lauterbur for their crucial achievements in the development of MRI.

This book provides 300 practice MCQs divided into three practice papers. Correct answers follow, accompanied by short referenced notes drawing from recent important journal articles, major critical care textbooks and selected internet resources. Since there is no other dedicated intensive care MCQ book on the market, this book is relevant to the following groups: junior intensive care trainees, senior intensive care nursing staff wishing to enhance their medical knowledge, intensive care consultants as a teaching aid and trainees preparing for professional examinations. This MCQ book will also be ideal in preparation for the European Diploma in Intensive Care Medicine (EDIC) Part 1 examination, as the questions are matched as closely as possible in style and difficulty to those in the EDIC Part 1. The EDIC is an internationally recognised qualification for medical trainees in intensive care, set by the European Society for Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM). It is a two-part examination consisting of a 100-question multiple choice paper (Part 1) and a clinical and viva voce examination (Part 2). To ensure relevance, the questions are designed with reference to the training syllabus provided by the ESICM.

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.

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.

El conocimiento de los pormenores de la historia patria en Colombia ha sufrido importantes afectaciones, derivadas de la óptica y las conveniencias políticas o culturales, desde las cuales se reconstruyen y analizan los sucesos que han determinado la edificación de la identidad de la nación y su prospección geopolítica. Para hacer mas compleja dicha dificultad, en 1983 por imposición de las Farc y el M-19 los dos grupos terroristas de orientación comunista más activos en ese momento, el entonces presidente Belisario Betancur ansioso de ser distinguido con un Premio Nobel de Paz, suspendió la cátedra de historia en los centros educativos de primaria y secundaria. Parte del problema surgió en que la mayor parte de los textos de instrucción de la historia colombiana fueron elaborados por sacerdotes católicos, cercanos ideológicamente al Partido Conservador e impuestos como documentos de referencia bibliográfica, producto del Concordato firmado en 1887 entre el Estado Colombiano y la Iglesia Católica. Sin duda el sacerdote Rafael M. Granados fue un intelectual e investigador de las ciencias sociales que aportó mucho a Colombia, por medio de los textos que escribió y publicó a lo largo de su fecunda actividad de investigación académica. Por lo tanto, este documentado aporte del sacerdote Rafael Granados a la argumentación colectiva de la historia colombiana, debe recibirse con beneficio de inventario y como un elemento de amplio valor, debido a que muchas generaciones de colombianos que estuvieron en edad escolar entre 1925 y 1970 fueron informados de la evolución cronológica del país, a partir de sus escritos. Entre 1970 y 1983 primaron en las aulas de bachillerato los textos de escritores liberales que pusieron en duda lo escrito por los sacerdotes católicos, pero como ya se anotó el presidente Betancur suspendió la cátedra de historia patria en 1983, entonces al cumplirse en 2019 el bicentenario de la independencia definitiva de Colombia frente a la corona Española, leer y analizar esta obra resulta un apasionante ejercicio intelectual, que permite enriquecer conocimientos, confrontarlos con otra teorías y desde luego, coadyuvar en la construcción de teorías mas refinadas de la forma y los procesos de la construcción social e histórica de la identidad colombiana.

"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.

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)

Ci sono molti modi di leggere Frankenstein. Si può privilegiarne la dimensione finzionale, coglierne il potenziale speculativo, valorizzarne le istanze (proto)femministe. Qui si è scelto di collegare la sua dimensione fantastica al dibattito sul potere della scienza (e della tecnologia a essa correlata), evidenziandone i risvolti psicoanalitici nonché i legami con la queer theory. Ciò, a partire dal fatto che alcuni ritengono di poter assimilare la «mostruosità» della creatura shelleyana alla condizione trans e, più in generale, ai temi della comunità LGBTQIA+. Si tratta di una lettura inedita, basata sulla convinzione che Frankenstein rappresenti una straordinaria – e preveggente – risposta alla tradizione del pensiero occidentale, che ha sempre inteso separare la techne dall'episteme, il problema della conoscenza da quello della tecnologia.

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.

Wusstest du, dass Gottes Wort zu jedem Bereich unseres Lebens etwas zu sagen hat? Das trifft auch auf die Ehe zu.

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.

This anthology offers a unique collection of contributions focusing on the discussion about the so-called dual-process theories within the field of moral psychology. 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 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 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 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.

This book will help the reader to understand the suicidal mind from a phenomenological point of view, shedding light on the feelings of suicidal individuals and also those of clinicians. In accordance with the importance that the phenomenological approach attaches to subjectivity and sense of self as the starting points for knowledge, emphasis is placed on the need for the clinician to focus on the subjective experiences of the at-risk individual, to set aside prior assumptions, judgments, or interpretations, and to identify ways of bridging gaps in communication associated with negative emotions. The vital importance of empathy is stressed, drawing attention to the insights offered by neuroimaging studies and the role of mirror neurons in social cognition. It is widely acknowledged that when a clinician meets a person who wants to die by suicide, the clinician does not fully understand what is going on inside the mind of that individual. This book recognizes that any approach to suicide prevention must promote understanding of suicidal thoughts and feelings. The awareness that it fosters and the innovative perspectives that it presents will appeal to a wide readership.

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.

What lies at the foundation of our moral beliefs? If we dig down far enough do we find that our moral values have no ground at all to stand on, and so are apt to collapse upon serious philosophical investigation? This book seeks to answer these and related questions by positing an indubitable foundation for our moral beliefs – they arise from the phenomenon of ‘primary recognition’, and are fundamentally shaped by ‘basic moral certainties’. Drawing on philosophers such as Ludwig Wittgenstein and Knud Ejler Løgstrup, this book draws together insights from both Analytic and Continental philosophy to provide a convincing new picture of our moral foundations. And it does so in a way that eschews moral conservativism and opens the way for a rich understanding of the variety and particularity of our human moral systems, while also keeping a significant place for those moral beliefs that occur universally, across cultures.

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 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.

This book will examine at individuals who control, intimate, and manipulate in work, home, family, and social environments, using robust Psychological theory to comprehend and successfully tackle those who exhibit these behaviours. The focus of this book will be to look at general Personality theory together with more specific focus on the Dark Triad of personality traits and, from the Five Factor Model, the domain of Agreeableness vs Antagonism. This approach will build a greater understanding of a much broader form of controlling intimidating and manipulative personality type. The book will include both useable techniques as well as self-reflection exercises the reader can use or pass on to students, clients and service users. This book is based on a programme the author has been teaching for over twelve years to a range of audiences across a variety of roles and has also been highlighted frequently in the press over the past decade. Martin J Smith is a Senior Lecturer in the social sciences at Nottingham Trent University, UK, and an independent training consultant. He specialises in extreme difficult behaviour and personality issues which go well beyond simply awkward and often highly controlling, intimidating and manipulative. He has over thirty years training experience in communication, interpersonal skills and conflict management. He is also a psychotherapist specialising in the treatment of anxiety, depression, stress, phobias and post traumatic stress disorders with over 23 years clinical experience.

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.

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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—bothimmediate 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.

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.

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 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 innovative edited collection brings together leading international academics to explore the use of various non-prescription and prescription substances for the purpose of perceived body image enhancement. While studies on drug misuse to date have examined drug use in the context of sporting performance, addiction, and body image for particular groups such as bodybuilders, there has been little research that explores the wider use (and misuse) of legal and illegal drugs for body image development and weight loss. With medical sociology and social psychology at its core, this important volume shows the complex reasons behind the misuse of various medications, how these are connected to contemporary body image and appearance concerns, and why the known health risks and possibly harmful side effects do not act as deterrents.

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 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 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.

Robert C. Solomon, who died in 2007, was Professor of Philosophy and Quincy Lee Centennial Professor of Business at the University of Texas, USA. As the first book comprehensively to examine the breadth of Solomon’s contribution to philosophy, this volume ranks as a vital addition to the literature. It includes a newly published transcript of Solomon’s last talk, which responded to Arindam Chakrabarti on the concept of revenge, as well as the considered views of prominent figures in the numerous subfields in which Solomon worked. The content analyses his perspectives on the philosophy of emotion, virtue, business ethics, and religion, in addition to philosophical history, existentialism, and the many other topics that held this prolific thinker’s attention. Solomon memorably defined philosophy itself as ‘the thoughtful love of life’, and despite the diversity of his output, he was most drawn by central questions about the meaning of life, the essential role that emotions play in finding that meaning, and the human imperative to seek ‘emotional integrity’, in which one’s thoughts, emotions, and actions all contribute to a coherent narrative. The essays included here draw attention to the interconnections between the issues Solomon addressed, and evince the manner in which he embodied that integrity, living a life at one with his philosophy. They emphasize the central themes of passion, ethics, and spirituality, which threaded through his work, and the way these ideas informed his views on how we should approach grief and death. The multiplicity of topics alone make this keystone work an enlightening read for a full spectrum of students of philosophy, providing much to ponder and recounting a subtle and shining example of the emotional integrity Solomon worked so hard to define.

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.

Drawing on the non-individualistic perspective of social representations theory, this book presents an alternative view of social identity by articulating the inseparable dynamic relationships that exist between content, process and power relations when social identity is embedded in social knowledge.

This book bridges the regions of East Asia and the West by offering a detailed and critical inquiry of educational concepts of the East Asian tradition. It provides educational thinkers and practitioners with alternative resources and perspectives for their educational thinking, to enrich their educational languages and to promote the recognition of educational thoughts from different cultures and traditions across a global world. The key notions of Confucian and Neo-Confucian philosophy directly concern the ideals, processes and challenges of learning, education and self-transformation, which can be seen as the western equivalences of liberal education, including the German concept of Bildung. All the topics in the book are of fundamental interest across diverse cultures, giving a voice to a set of long-lasting and yet differentiated cultural traditions of learning and education, and thereby creating a common space for critical philosophical reflection of one's own educational tradition and practice. The book is especially timely, given that the vocabularies in educational discourse today have been dominantly “West centred” for a long time, even while the whole world has become more and more diverse across races, religions and cultures. It offers a great opportunity to philosophers of education for their cross-cultural understanding and self-understanding of educational ideas and practices on both personal and institutional levels.

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.

Temporality pervades the dynamic joint of existence, and the human being as such. As human beings unfold through ontopoiesis, each move of which punctuates the temporality of life, they, whose life experience, deliberation, planning, reflection and dreaming are permeated by temporal motivations and concerns, feel that they are engaged in the spinning of a common thread. Attributing to that involvement universal laws, constant existential validity and power, they absolutise/hypostasise its rule as a cosmic/human factor: “time”. Yet today technologies are transforming the temporality of our existence by accelerating, intensifying, expanding our partaking in the world of life. Human communal and social involvement is being challenged in its personal significance to the core of our being. What happens to “time”? A basic reinvestigation of the nature of temporality is called for. Human creative endeavor – especially literature – may initiate it. Having the human subject – the creator – at its center, literature is essentially engaged in temporality whether that of the mind or of the world of life through the creative process of writing, stage directing, or the reader’s and viewer’s reception. Out of the cross-motivations that the creative mind filters in its temporal synthesis in touch with all the perspectives of existence, there surges the deepest significance of life in humanity and culture. But, first of all, life comes to light as timing itself in its logos. (Tymieniecka)

This book offers an empirically informed understanding of how identity and agency become wholly embedded within practices of media-remembering. It draws upon data collected from the British military, the BBC and Falkland Islanders during the 30th Anniversary of the Falklands war to uniquely offer multiple perspectives on a single ‘remembering’ phenomenon. The study offers an analysis of the convergence, interconnectedness and interdependence of media and remembering, specifically the production, interpretation and negotiation of remembering in the media ecology. In so doing it not only examines the role of media in the formation and sustaining of collective memory but also the ways those who remember or are remembered in media texts become implicated in these processes.

This book explores the morality of pride, a value that has been condemned through history and is still largely unwelcome in many societies. The author explores the nature of the self and free will, and how pride links to technology and rational theology. It refers to the work of Lionel Trilling, Allan Bloom, Charles Taylor and Heidegger on authenticity; Jacob Burckhardt, Stephen Toulmin, Max Weber and Mark Lilla on modernity; Christine Korsgaard on the self; John Rawls and Ruth Benedict on morality; and the Stoics and Kant on free will.

This book pioneers evidence-based research on healthy aging through the application of self determination theory (SDT). Its uniqueness is located in the fact that to date, no other work has applied SDT to the empirical study of aging populations. The authors focus on how SDT drives healthy, successful and active aging, and note that the motivation factors underpinning healthy aging are often neglected, or altogether absent, in the existing literature. This edited volume is particularly timely given the expanding aging crisis in many North American, European and Asian contexts. The collection of chapters meets this challenge head-on in comparing these contexts vis-a-vis a broad international scope, and subsequent discussions on important specialty issues in aging, such as hearing and memory loss. The work offers global perspectives on aging, autonomy and associated life challenges, as well as factors relating to the sustainability of healthy aging in terms of physical and mental well-being. This book will be highly relevant to researchers in the SDT community, as well as specialists in aging and gerontology. It will also be of interest to lifespan psychologists and developmental psychologists.

This book describes how civic dialogue can serve as an antidote to a polarized public square. It argues that when pervasive polarization renders rational and fact-based argumentation ineffective, we first need to engage in a way that builds trust. Civic dialogue is a form of structured discourse that utilizes first-person narratives in order to promote trust, openness, and mutual understanding. By creating a dialogic structure that encourages listening and reflection, particularities and differences about fraught identities can be expressed in such a way that leads to the possibility of connecting through our fundamental, shared, and deeply felt humanity. Drawing on Plato, Buber, Gadamer, Dewey, cognitive bias research, as well as the work of dialogue practitioners, Lauren Swayne Barthold provides a sustained defense of civic dialogue as an effective strategy for avoiding futile political arguments and for creating pluralistic democratic communities.

This book explores the long-term outcomes of severe and ongoing trauma—particularly complex posttraumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD)—from phenomenological and cognitive perspectives. For example, C-PTSD can result in impairments at the body-schema level. In order to survive, trauma victims may conduct their lives at the body-image level, thus producing a mismatch between body schema and body image. In turn, as in the case of somatoparaphrenia and body integrity identity disorder, this incongruity can result in body disownership, which will affect long-term outcomes of severe and ongoing trauma.

An original and timely study of men's experiences of depression in which the author tackles the discursively constructed relationship between the self and depression showing its linguistic and social complexity and analyses the relationship between depression and masculinity.

Mais de 10 anos se passaram desde sua promulgação e a efetivação da Lei nº 11.645/2008 – determinando o ensino da temática afro-brasileira, africana e indígena na Educação Básica – continua por se fazer em grande parte dos contextos escolares, provavelmente na maioria deles. A norma foi uma conquista significativa dos movimentos sociais e acadêmicos em busca de transformações sólidas e perenes nas relações étnico-raciais no Brasil, somando-se ao conquistado a respeito das temáticas afro e afro-brasileira. Entendem que só teremos êxito na construção de uma sociedade justa, igualitária e baseada no respeito pelas diferenças socioculturais se as questões estiverem na base dos currículos e na estrutura formativa de crianças e adolescentes. No entanto, ainda se faz necessário debater em detalhes algo aparentemente simples, porém, crucial: como efetivamente implementar a Lei. Os textos presentes neste potente livro incidem na questão colocada acima e vem em boa hora por basicamente dois motivos. O primeiro é óbvio, uma vez que quanto mais o tempo passa, mais distantes ficamos da promulgação da Lei e mais a desrespeitamos. Não se trata de desdenhar ou negligenciar os esforços bem sucedidos de discutir a importância, trajetórias, particularidades e protagonismos dos povos indígenas por meio de grupos de estudos, centros de pesquisas, laboratórios de ensino e publicações, tanto em escolas quanto em universidade. Mas, enquanto forem ações isoladas, frutos de trabalhos individuais ou de pequenos grupos, o problema persistirá.

With the urbanization of the world's population proceeding apace and the equally rapid urbanization of poverty, urban theory has an urgent challenge to meet if it is to remain relevant to the majority of cities and their populations, many of which are outside the West. This groundbreaking book establishes a new framework for urban development. It makes the argument that all cities are best understood as ‘ordinary’, and crosses the longstanding divide in urban scholarship and urban policy between Western and other cities (especially those labelled ‘Third World’). It considers the two framing axes of urban modernity and development, and argues that if cities are to be imagined in equitable and creative ways, urban theory must overcome these axes with their Western bias and that resources must become at least as cosmopolitan as cities themselves. Tracking paths across previously separate literatures and debates, this innovative book - a postcolonial critique of urban studies - traces the outlines of a cosmopolitan approach to cities, drawing on evidence from Rio, Johannesburg, Lusaka and Kuala Lumpur. Key urban scholars and debates, from Simmel, Benjamin and the Chicago School to Global and World Cities theories are explored, together with anthropological and developmentalist accounts of poorer cities. Offering an alternative approach, Ordinary Cities skilfully brings together theories of urban development for students and researchers of urban studies, geography and development.

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.

En 1966 se publicaron dos libros clave para la arquitectura contemporánea: Complejidad y contradicción en la arquitectura de Robert Venturi y La arquitectura de la ciudad de Aldo Rossi. En su libro más importante, Rossi dio un giro copernicano a la concepción de la ciudad que ha marcado la reflexión arquitectónica hasta nuestros días. No obstante, las inquietudes de Rossi en ese período no se redujeron a lo que él denominó la "ciencia urbana", sino que intentó armar también una teoría aplicada al proyecto de arquitectura. El presente volumen rescata tres ensayos breves de Rossi en los que explica una posible teoría del proyecto arquitectónico. Una ocasión única para redescubrir la iluminadora mirada de uno de los grandes arquitectos de la segunda mitad del siglo XX.

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.

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.

"Prefab Architecture . . . is beyond theory, and beyond most of what we think we know about pods, containers, mods, and joints. This book is more than 'Prefabrication 101.' It is the Joy of Cooking writ large for the architecture and construction industries." From the Foreword by James Timberlake, FAIA THE DEFINITIVE REFERENCE ON PREFAB ARCHITECTURE FOR ARCHITECTS AND CONSTRUCTION PROFESSIONALS Written for architects and related design and construction professionals, Prefab Architecture is a guide to off-site construction, presenting the opportunities and challenges associated with designing and building with components, panels, and modules. It presents the drawbacks of building in situ (on-site) and demonstrates why prefabrication is the smarter choice for better integration of products and processes, more efficient delivery, and realizing more value in project life cycles. In addition, Prefab Architecture provides: A selected history of prefabrication from the Industrial Revolution to current computer numerical control, and a theory of production from integrated processes to lean manufacturing Coverage on the tradeoffs of off-site fabrication including scope, schedule, and cost with the associated principles of labor, risk, and quality Up-to-date products featuring examples of prefabricated structure, enclosure, service, and nterior building systems Documentation on the constraints and execution of manufacturing, factory production, transportation, and assembly Dozens of recent examples of prefab projects by contemporary architects and fabricators including KieranTimberlake, SHoP Architects, Office dA, Michelle Kaufmann, and many others In Prefab Architecture, the fresh approaches toward creating buildings that accurately convey ature and expanded green building methodologies make this book an important voice for adopting change in a construction industry entrenched in traditions of the past.

"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

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.

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.

"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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

This book reveals the inside track on the making of Terminal 5: the courage, the ground-breaking management thinking and the many lessons learnt from the leaders, the client and integrated supply chain teams, - involving over 50,000 people from 20,000 companies - which led to the successful delivery of this mega project on time, on budget, and safely. Love or hate Heathrow we can’t ignore it! An economic power house for the UK, 155,000 earn their living from it and 68 million of us pass through it each year. Two decades of the planning, design, construction and opening of Terminal 5 has resulted in a gateway that Heathrow can be proud of. Faced with the risk of opening a year late, being a billion overspent, since Sir John Egan in the early 1990s, BAA, stakeholders and supplier partners have been grappling with Terminal 5`s challenges. The result? £4.3 billion of design and construction delivered on time, to budget and safely is to be commended given the industry statistics but the acid test will now be the quality of the 30 million passengers experience and the operating costs that have been left to stand the test of time. Sharon Doherty is HR and organisational effectiveness director for Heathrow airport and Terminal 5. Sharon has previously worked in consultancy, financial services and retail. Her specialism is people and change. 2002 to the end 2007 she was accountable for the approach to people management and organisational change on Terminal 5.

A look at history like youve never see before. A quirky, often humorous look at the things that make us human. How did the pyramids come to be or how was chocolate made palatable .Its all in this book. From the earliest control of fire to the atomic bomb this book tells it all.

This book discusses nocturnal cooling technologies for building applications. Exploiting the natural environment as a renewable and sustainable resource has become a significant strategy for passive energy saving in buildings, and has led to growing interest in the use of passive radiative cooling based on nighttime (nocturnal) and daytime (diurnal) operating periods. Of these, nocturnal cooling is more promising since diurnal cooling is hard to achieve due to the solar radiation effect. As such, this book provides a comprehensive overview of nocturnal cooling for building applications, including a definition, concepts and principles; materials and devices; and cooling systems and configurations.

Chinese Spatial Strategies presents a study of social spaces of the capital of Ming Qing China (1420-1911). Focusing on early Ming and early and middle Qing, it explores architectural, urban and geographical space of Beijing, in relation to issues of history, geopolitics, urban social structure, imperial rule and authority, symbolism, and aesthetic and existential experience. At once historical and theoretical, the work argues that there is a Chinese approach to spatial disposition which is strategic and holistic.

This study examines public estates in Tuscany's Maremma region from the 9th to 11th centuries, identifying material markers of royal properties. It explores the role of public lands, local aristocracies, landscape transformations, production, exchange, and rural economic growth before the 12th century.

Hazim Awbi's Ventilation of Buildings has become established as the definitive text on the subject. This new, thoroughly revised, edition builds on the basic principles of the original text drawing in the results of considerable new research in the field. A new chapter on natural ventilation is also added and recent developments in ventilation concepts and room air distribution are also considered. The text is intended for the practitioner in the building services industry, the architect, the postgraduate student undertaking courses or research in HVAC, building services engineering, or building environmental engineering, and the undergraduate studying building services as a major subject. Readers are assumed to be familiar with the basic principles of fluid flow and heat transfer and some of the material requires more advanced knowledge of partial differential equations which describe the turbulent flow and heat transfer processes of fluids. The book is both a presentation of the practical issues that are needed for modern ventilation system design and a survey of recent developments in the subject

Dans "Paris sous Louis XIV : monuments et vues", Auguste Maquet dresse un tableau riche et détaillé de la capitale française sous le règne du Roi Soleil, soulignant les transformations architecturales et urbanistiques qui ont façonné la ville. L'ouvrage se caractérise par un style descriptif et immersif, où le lecteur est convié à une exploration presque sensorielle des monuments emblématiques tels que le Louvre et le Palais de Versailles. À travers ses récits, Maquet parvient à contextualiser ces évolutions dans une France en pleine mutation, où l'art et le pouvoir s'entrelacent, reflet d'une époque de splendeur et d'intrigues politiques. Auguste Maquet, souvent associé au mouvement romantique, a été nourri par son amour pour l'histoire et la culture française. Ses travaux en tant qu'écrivain et dramaturge, ainsi que son profond intérêt pour la période classique, l'ont amené à réaliser cet ouvrage qui se veut à la fois historique et esthétique. En se plongeant dans les archives et en parcourant les rues de Paris, Maquet a su capter l'essence même d'un âge d'or qui continue d'inspirer et de fasciner. Ce livre est fortement recommandé à tous les passionnés d'histoire de France, de culture et d'architecture, ainsi qu'à ceux qui souhaitent découvrir Paris au prisme d'un regard érudit. L'œuvre de Maquet, à la fois documentée et poétique, offre une perspective inestimable sur une période charnière, permettant ainsi de mieux comprendre les racines de la ville moderne.

San Francisco is not known for detached houses with landscaped setbacks, lining picturesque, park-side streets. But between 1905 and 1924, thirty-six such neighborhoods, called residence parks, were proposed or built in the city. Hundreds like them were constructed across the country yet they are not well known or understood today. This book examines the city planning aspects of residence parks in a new way, with tracing how developers went about the business of building them, on different sites and for different markets, and how they kept out black and Asian residents.

“A comprehensive, entertaining, and compelling argument for how rebuilding social infrastructure can help heal divisions in our society and move us forward.”—Jon Stewart NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR • “Engaging.”—Mayor Pete Buttigieg, The New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice) We are living in a time of deep divisions. Americans are sorting themselves along racial, religious, and cultural lines, leading to a level of polarization that the country hasn’t seen since the Civil War. Pundits and politicians are calling for us to come together and find common purpose. But how, exactly, can this be done? In Palaces for the People, Eric Klinenberg suggests a way forward. He believes that the future of democratic societies rests not simply on shared values but on shared spaces: the libraries, childcare centers, churches, and parks where crucial connections are formed. Interweaving his own research with examples from around the globe, Klinenberg shows how “social infrastructure” is helping to solve some of our most pressing societal challenges. Richly reported and ultimately uplifting, Palaces for the People offers a blueprint for bridging our seemingly unbridgeable divides. LONGLISTED FOR THE ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL FOR EXCELLENCE IN NONFICTION “Just brilliant!”—Roman Mars, 99% Invisible “The aim of this sweeping work is to popularize the notion of ‘social infrastructure'—the ‘physical places and organizations that shape the way people interact'. . . . Here, drawing on research in urban planning, behavioral economics, and environmental psychology, as well as on his own fieldwork from around the world, [Eric Klinenberg] posits that a community’s resilience correlates strongly with the robustness of its social infrastructure. The numerous case studies add up to a plea for more investment in the spaces and institutions (parks, libraries, childcare centers) that foster mutual support in civic life.”—The New Yorker “Palaces for the People—the title is taken from the Scottish-American industrialist and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie’s description of the hundreds of libraries he funded—is essentially a calm, lucid exposition of a centuries-old idea, which is really a furious call to action.”—New Statesman “Clear-eyed . . . fascinating.”—Psychology Today

WINNER OF THE NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARD • The prescient founder of The Free Press delivers an urgent wake-up call to all Americans exposing the alarming rise of anti-Semitism in this country—and explains what we can do to defeat it. “A praiseworthy and concise brief against modern-day anti-Semitism.”—The New York Times On October 27, 2018, eleven Jews were gunned down as they prayed at their synagogue in Pittsburgh. It was the deadliest attack on Jews in American history. For most Americans, the massacre at Tree of Life, the synagogue where Bari Weiss became a bat mitzvah, came as a shock. But anti-Semitism is the oldest hatred, commonplace across the Middle East and on the rise for years in Europe. So that terrible morning in Pittsburgh, as well as the continued surge of hate crimes against Jews in cities and towns across the country, raise a question Americans cannot avoid: Could it happen here? This book is Weiss’s answer. Like many, Weiss long believed this country could escape the rising tide of anti-Semitism. With its promise of free speech and religion, its insistence that all people are created equal, its tolerance for difference, and its emphasis on shared ideals rather than bloodlines, America has been, even with all its flaws, a new Jerusalem for the Jewish people. But now the luckiest Jews in history are beginning to face a three-headed dragon known all too well to Jews of other times and places: the physical fear of violent assault, the moral fear of ideological vilification, and the political fear of resurgent fascism and populism. No longer the exclusive province of the far right, the far left, and assorted religious bigots, anti-Semitism now finds a home in identity politics as well as the reaction against identity politics, in the renewal of America First isolationism and the rise of one-world socialism, and in the spread of Islamist ideas into unlikely places. A hatred that was, until recently, reliably taboo is migrating toward the mainstream, amplified by social media and a culture of conspiracy that threatens us all. Weiss is one of our most provocative writers, and her cri de coeur makes a powerful case for renewing Jewish and American values in this uncertain moment. Not just for the sake of America’s Jews, but for the sake of America.

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.

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.

The linguistic integration of migrants affects every aspect of settling in a new country (employment, health, etc.). The aim of this collection of texts is to propose a number of specific measures member states can take to help adult migrants become acquainted with the language of the host country. The main focus is on organising language courses that meet migrants’ real communication needs. It is not enough for authorities simply to consider the technical aspects of such courses, they should also design and conduct them in accordance with the fundamental values of the Council of Europe. A number of issues concerning the linguistic integration of adult migrants are presented here, beginning with the notion of linguistic integration itself. Family reunion, the nature of citizenship and the function of language tests, among others, are dealt with from the point of view of language and language use. Readers are invited to reflect on the type of language competences that need to be acquired as well as an appropriate use of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. The collection also sets out approaches and instruments designed to assist in implementing effective policies.

Is it time to take a break from feminism? In this pathbreaking book, Janet Halley reassesses the place of feminism in the law and politics of sexuality. She argues that sexuality involves deeply contested and clashing realities and interests, and that feminism helps us understand only some of them. To see crucial dimensions of sexuality that feminism does not reveal--the interests of gays and lesbians to be sure, but also those of men, and of constituencies and values beyond the realm of sex and gender--we might need to take a break from feminism. Halley also invites feminism to abandon its uncritical relationship to its own power. Feminists are, in many areas of social and political life, partners in governance. To govern responsibly, even on behalf of women, Halley urges, feminists should try taking a break from their own presuppositions. Halley offers a genealogy of various feminisms and of gay, queer, and trans theories as they split from each other in the United States during the 1980s and 1990s. All these incommensurate theories, she argues, enrich thinking on the left not despite their break from each other but because of it. She concludes by examining legal cases to show how taking a break from feminism can change your very perceptions of what's at stake in a decision and liberate you to decide it anew.

Originally published in 1951, Nigerian Land Law and Custom (now with a new preface by Olusoji Elias), the first of its kind, is an excellent comparative study of the whole system of land tenure in Nigeria. There are, of course, a few anthropological attempts, almost invariably designed as or inspired by Government Reports on some specific areas of the country, and their aim is therefore often administrative or fiscal. This book is accordingly an attempt to create a legal order out of the chaos of lay approaches and to examine and systematize, as far as possible, such principles of indigenous tenure as are discernible in available materials in the light of the growing body of case-law. This book will be of value to students and researchers of African law and custom, and of comparative jurisprudence.

В самых разных жизненных ситуациях нам приходится принимать решения – на что тратить деньги и время или как убедить других потратить свои деньги и время. Это и есть основной смысл ценообразования. Цена – то «место», где встречаются ценность и деньги. Это самый мощный и распространенный фактор экономики в повседневной жизни каждого человека – и при этом один из наименее изученных.Формула успешного ценообразования больше напоминает рецепт экзотического коктейля. Это смесь психологии, экономики, стратегии, методов, стимулов и поощрений, приправленных математикой. В итоге менеджеры разбавляют коктейль догадками, интуитивными ощущениями и общими правилами или вообще исключают те категории, которые им не понятны. Конечно, напиток получается слаще, однако теряет насыщенный вкус и аромат, необходимый для того, чтобы оказать воздействие на клиента и на бизнес.В книге Германа Симона собраны мудрые советы и здравые принципы ценообразования. Более сорока лет Симон посвятил тому, чтобы сделать этот «коктейль» более эффективным, практичным и приятным для менеджеров и управленцев любой индустрии.Всемирно известный эксперт по ценообразованию и доверенный консультант топ-менеджеров Fortune 500, Герман Симон точно знает, о чем говорит. Он досконально изучил ценообразование. За свою жизнь он прошел путь от сельских фермерских рынков до престижной научной карьеры и профессии предпринимателя и консультанта крупных компаний по всему миру.И на протяжении всего пути он учился – у обладателей Нобелевской премии и ведущих гуру в области менеджмента. Он научил многих топ-менеджеров использовать ценообразование для того, чтобы создавать новые рынки, расширять бизнес и обеспечивать себе долгосрочное конкурентное преимущество. Кроме того, он усвоил несколько непростых личных уроков о том, что такое ценность, как люди воспринимают ее и как из нее извлекают прибыль.В «Признаниях мастера ценообразования» собраны лучшие советы и принципы, охватывающие все ингредиенты ценового коктейля, причем доступно, понятно и интересно – чтобы вам захотелось подробно изучить эту тему. Вы увидите ценообразование в совершенно новом свете.В чем УТП книги и ее конкурентное преимуществоВ отличие от других книг о ценообразовании «Признания мастера ценообразования» обладает тремя преимуществами:• здесь вы найдете целостный обзор всех элементов ценообразования, а не детальный анализ одного из них;• автор книги – профессор с выдающейся карьерой (Гарвард, Стэнфорд, МТИ), консультант в области менеджмента (основатель Simon-Kucher & Partners), востребованный спикер/публицист/писатель по данной теме.• в книге множество примеров как великолепных, так и катастрофических результатов ценовых решений компаний по всему миру – от компаний Apple и Honda до Ryanair и MaybachЧтобы понять эти три конкурентных преимущества, нужно задать себе вопрос – почему по ценообразованию до сих пор не было ни одного бестселлера. Ни одна из предыдущих книг не дает менеджерам целостного представления о ценообразовании, не утопая в лишних деталях. Многие из них имеют слишком узкую направленность.• Psychology: Priceless: The Myth of Fair Value (William Poundstone) и Cheap: The High Cost of Discount Culture (Ellen Ruppel Shell)• Методы: The Price Advantage (три автора консалтинговой компании McKinsey) рассказывает только об одном методе под названием «ценовой водопад»; The Art of Pricing (Rafi Mohammed) имеет более общую направленность, но тоже посвящена в основном одному методу• Стимулы и тактика: Pricing with Confidence (Reed Holden, Mark Burton) касается B2B переговорам• Отраслевая специфика: Smart Pricing: How Google, Priceline, and Leading Businesses Use Pricing Innovation for Profitability (два профессора Уортонской школы бизнеса) посвящена важной теме (хай-тек, Интернет), но информацию сложно применить к другим областям.Более того, эти авторы обладают узкой специализацией – писатели/журналисты (Poundstone, Shell), консультанты по менеджменту (McKinsey, Mohammed, Holden, Burton), профессура (Уортонская школа бизнеса). Герман Симон, The Pricing Man, сочетает в себе все эти знания и опыт, причем в каждой области он заслужил блестящую репутацию.Спросите, к примеру, Питера Друкера о Германе Симоне и его компании Simon-Kucher & Partners, и он ответит: «Никто не говорит о ценообразовании так мудро, как Герман Симон».Или спросите Уильяма Паундстоуна: «Ни одна компания не сделала так много для профессионализации ценообразования, как Simon-Kucher & Partners Германа Симона».Или спросите Филиппа Котлера (профессора Северо-Западного университета): «Герман Симон – автор одной из лучших теоретических и практических книг по ценообразованию».Для кого эта книгаВ двух словах, любой менеджер и директор, которому нужно продать товар, является целевой аудиторией. В книге собраны методы и принципы, применимые к любой коммерческой деятельности.Кто такой The Pricing ManГерман Симон – председатель консалтинговой фирмы Simon-Kucher & Partners Strategy & Marketing Consultants, у которой 33 офиса в 23 странах. Он всемирно признанный ведущий специалист по ценообразованию.

At the start of the 21st century, some 2 million Europeans were detained against their will in prisons, police stations, mental health institutions or other detention centres. It is generally recognised that protection against the arbitrary deprivation of liberty and the prevention of ill-treatment reflect the extent to which states respect human rights and human dignity, when these can be jeopardised by demands for security and efficiency. This book describes the European system for the protection of people deprived of their liberty and how this has evolved over the past fifty years. It discusses the different initiatives taken by the Council of Europe in this area, of which the European Convention on Human Rights and the Convention for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment are the most significant.

This book analyses corporate rescue laws, processes and policies prescribed in corporate insolvency or bankruptcy laws, and employment laws of the UK and the US, with a particular focus on how extant employee rights are treated when a debtor employer initiates corporate insolvency proceedings. The commencement of formal insolvency proceedings by an employer affects employees’ rights and interests. Employment laws seek to protect employees’ rights and interests, while insolvency laws seek to promote corporate rescue, which may entail workforce changes. Consequently, this creates a tension between whose interest insolvency law should give primacy of protection. The book analyses how corporate rescue processes such as administration, pre-pack business sales, company voluntary arrangements, receivership and liquidation impact employee rights and protection during corporate rescue proceedings in both jurisdictions. It goes on to address how the federal system of government in the US and the diffusion of power between federal and state law jurisdictions impact a uniform code of employee protection during Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganisation proceedings. The book considers how an interpretative approach to law (Dworkin’s Interpretative Theory of Law) may be used to balance both employee protection and corporate rescue laws during corporate insolvency in the UK and the US. Of interest to academics, students and employment law practitioners, this book examines the tension between corporate rescue laws and employment protection laws during corporate insolvency in the US and the UK and how this tension may be remedied or balanced.

Retomando a realização periódica do Congresso da Direito das Sociedades em Revista - interrompida pela pandemia -, teve lugar nos dias 15 e 16 de outubro de 2021, em Lisboa, a sua VI edição, a qual foi, como sempre, promovida pelo Grupo Almedina e pela ADSR - Associação Direito das Sociedades em Revista. Foram apresentadas várias comunicações agrupadas em painéis intitulados "Assembleias Gerais e direitos dos sócios", "Novas tecnologias e sociedades", "Reestruturação e insolvência societárias", "Fusões e aquisições", "Interesse da sociedade e sustentabilidade". Sendo, como é hábito, um Congresso transversal a diferentes temas societários, houve a preocupação de nele serem abordadas as recentes e importantes alterações que, nestas matérias, se têm verificado no nosso ordenamento jurídico, chamando, para o efeito, universitários e profissionais do Direito, com perfis muito variados, mas cujo traço comum é a sua especialização na área do Direito das Sociedades. O Congresso - que à semelhança de edições anteriores, constituiu uma excelente oportunidade de análise, debate e atualização sobre direito societário - vê agora, com o presente livro (que, como de costume, é oferecido a todos quantos estiveram presentes), publicada a maioria das intervenções nele proferidas, ordenadas pelo modo por que foram apresentadas, com o que se visa precipuamente estender a sua divulgação a outros públicos e contribuir para o debate e, assim o esperamos, para o progresso do direito societário entre nós.

تعدُّ الحماية الجنائية خط الدفاع الأهم والفعال، وصمام الأمان الذى يحمي المجتمع من الجرائم التي تقع ضده ويضمن له الاستقرار والعدالة والمساواة في المجتمع؛ ولذلك فإن الموضوعات التي تخضع للحماية الجنائية تمثل قدرًا من الأهمية التي تجعلها موضوع اهتمام المشرِّع الجنائي. ومن هذه الموضوعات سوق الأوراق المالية، إذ تتبوأ مكانة عليا وتحظى بقدر من الأهمية في الاقتصاد الوطني تجعلها من الموضوعات التي يجب أن يعيرها المشرِّع الجنائي اهتمامًا خاصًا نظرًا لمكانتها وطبيعتها الخاصة. ونظرًا لجسامة وخطورة الجرائم التي ترتكب في نطاق سوق الأوراق المالية، فإن الحماية الجنائية هي السبيل إلى التصدى والحد من جرائم أسواق الأوراق المالية. حيث أن سوق الأوراق المالية يقوم شق كبير منه على تبادل أسهم الشركات المقيدة بها ونظرًا لما لبيانات تلك الشركات من أهميه، فتكون الحماية الجنائية لبيانات الشركات المقيدة في سوق الأوراق المالية ضرورة ملحة؛ بسبب خطورة تسريب أو استغلال بيانات داخلية جوهرية، أو عدم الالتزام بالإفصاح عن التغيرات التي تطرأ على المركز المالى لتلك الشركات. يثير هذا البحث العديد من التساؤلات، والتي سنحاول إيجاد حلول لها والوصول لإجابات واضحة عنها، وتتمثل إشكاليات البحث في السؤال الرئيس التالي: ما وجه الحماية الجنائية لبيانات الشركات المقيدة في سوق الأوراق المالية؟ تلك هي الإشكالية الأساسية لهذا البحث ويتفرع عن ذلك مجموعة من الإشكاليات التي تتمثل فى: 1- هل علاقة السببية بين السلوك والنتيجة في جرائم بيانات الشركات المقيدة في سوق الأوراق المالية مفترضة أم يجب على النيابة والمحكمة توضيحها وإثباتها؟ 2- هل يكفى توافر قصد جنائي عام في جرائم بيانات الشركات المقيدة في سوق الأوراق المالية، أم يُشترط قصد خاص؟ 3- ما مدى مسئولية الأشخاص المعنوية في جرائم بيانات الشركات المقيدة في سوق الأوراق المالية ؟

Buku ini disusun secara bertahap dari mulai tahapan yang paling mendasar hingga kepada contoh solusi praktis terhadap permasalahan yang dipersoalkan di dalamnya. Meskipun setiap bab tampak seperti tema-tema yang berbeda, namun sesungguhnya hubungan antara keempat bab di dalam buku ini sangat rapat. Oleh karena itu, kami tidak menyarankan untuk langsung membaca bab terakhir atau memilih membaca salah satu bab saja. Bab pertama buku ini menjelaskan persoalan mendasar dalam kehidupan yang berpengaruh terhadap cara kita dalam melihat dan menempatkan persoalan. Cara orang melihat sebuah rumah yang berdiri dengan kokoh dan tak goyah oleh zaman serta kuat ditempa gempa itu berbeda. Ada orang yang berdecak kagum dan memuji kehebatan rumah itu. Ada lagi yang lain bertanya tentang arsitek dan insinyur pembuatnya dan memuji kehebatan orang yang membuatnya. Dan ada juga orang yang memiliki rasa ingin tahu yang lebih dari yang kedua itu. Dia mencari seluruh rencana atau rancangan pembuat rumah itu. Dia mempelajari bagaimana rumah itu dibangun, bahan apa saja yang dipergunakan untuk membangunnya, dan seluruh alasan dari semua pilihan pembuat rumah itu. Dalam bab kedua, kami menulis gagasan Indonesia sebagai sebuah bangsa dan perjalanan yang telah dan kemungkinan akan dilaluinya. Menggunakan panduan yang diberikan oleh Ibnu Khaldun, pembacaan terhadap sejarah dimaknai sebagai sebuah kesatuan yang utuh dalam keseluruhan sejarah kehidupan Indonesia sebagai sebuah bangsa. Dengan cara seperti inilah, kami berusaha untuk dapat mengantisipasi zaman. Dalam bab terakhir, kami berusaha memberikan panduan praktis melalui beberapa rumusan dan program yang memungkinkan dilaksanakan untuk melakukan Siyasah terhadap Indonesia saat ini. Pembaca dapat memahami alasan pilihan yang disebutkan dalam bab terakhir apabila telah membaca bab-bab yang sebelumnya. Dengan adanya bab empat ini, kami berusaha menjadikan buku ini sebagai bagian penting dari sebuah gerakan untuk melakukan pembaharuan bangsa Indonesia. Kesimpulan akhir dari buku ini akan menuntun pembaca untuk menyetujui dan bersama-sama menjadi bagian dari pembaharuan bangsa Indonesia

Ha lo scopo di raccogliere e presentare la molteplicità di opinioni dottrinali, pronunce di Corti nazionali ed Europee, non sempre convergenti circa l’interpretazione da attribuire a un principio di profonda civiltà giuridica che nel nostro Ordinamento è racchiuso nel ristretto ambito di una norma del nostro codice di rito penale, ma di ampia applicazione a livello comunitario.

This book demonstrates the importance of Léon Duguit for property theory in both the civil and common law world. It translates into English for the first time ever Duguit’s seminal lecture on property, the sixth of a series given in 1911 in Buenos Aires. It also collects essays from the leading experts on the social function of property in major civil and common law jurisdictions internationally. The book explores the importance that the notion of the social function of property has come to have not only in France but in the entire civil law tradition, and also considers the wide – if un-attributed and seldom regarded – influence in the common law tradition and theory of property.

مجموعه كتا بهاي موحدين حمد و سپاس خداوندي كه نعمت اسلام را بر بندگان خود ارزاني داشت و از ميان آنان، بهترين و پا كترينِ ايشان را براي ابلاغ پيام آزادي و آزادگي برگزيد؛ و درود و سلام پروردگار يكتا بر اهل بيت بزرگوار، صحابه كرام و تابعين گرا نقدرِ پيامبر دوستي و رحمت. ديني كه امروز مفتخر به آنيم، ثمره مجاهدت ها و از جان گذاشتگي هايِ مردان خداست؛ آناني كه در راه حفظ و نشر پيام الهي، خالصانه مهر حق در دل و مهر نامِ پاكش بر لب داشتند و در راه صيانت از كلام خداوند سبحان و سنت پيامبر مهربان، جان و مال و عرض بر كف نهادند و جز خشيت و خوف آفريدگار، ترسي به دل راه نداند. آري، اسلام عزيز اين گونه رشد كرد و باليد و بر بلنداي آسمان بانگ يكتاپرستي و برابري سر داد. اما در اين ميان، كينه دشمنان قسم خورده و جورِ عالمان متهتّك و جاهلان متنسك، قامت رعناي دينِ حق را هدف گرفت؛ و شرك و غلو و گزافه و دروغ، چنان طوفاني بر پا كرد كه چهره زيباي آيين حق، در پسِ دروغ پردازي هاي غوغا سالارانِ دين فروش در محاق افتاد. اين روند دوري از حقايق دين و سنت حسنة رسول الله، به ويژه پس از روي كار آمدن پادشاهان صفوي در قرن نهم هجري و زمامداران جمهوري اسلامي در عصر حاضر، سير صعودي گرفت؛ تا جايي كه امروز، مساجد، محلِّ سينه زني و عزاداري است؛ صداي قرآن برنمي خيزد مگر بر مزار مردگان؛ روايات شاذّ و خودساخته، جايگزين سنت پيامبر شده است؛ مداحان جاهل و عوام فريب، تبديل به فرهنگ ناطق دين شد هاند؛ تفسير به رأي و روايات مجعول، مستمسكي شده است براي جدايي انداختن بين شيعه و سني؛ و دريغ كه ندانستند از اين تفرقه و خصومت، بهره و منفعت از آنِ كيست! آنچه امروز به نام تقريبِ مذاهب اسلامي در ايران سر م يدهند، چيزي نيست مگر هياهوي تبليغاتي و گرد و خاك سياسي كه در ساية پوششِ رسانه اي گسترده، مقصودش جلب توجه سياسي و ترسيم چهره اي مناسب از حكومت شيعيِ ايران در جهان است. نگاهي به عملكرد سردمداران، روحانيون و مراجع شيعة ايران، خود گويايِ اين حقيقت است كه تقريب مذاهب و دوستي و برادري ديني، به شيوة زمامدارانِ ايران، خواب و .« دو صد گفته چون نيم كردار نيست » خيالي بيش نيست و در اين ميان، مسلمان موحدي در ايران، از دل جامعه خرافه زدة شيعه اماميه برخاستند و كمر به بيداري جامعة غفلت زده خود بر بستند؛ سراپا شور و شهامت شدند و قلم فرسودند و سخن دردادند؛ زنگارِ شرك را به صيقلِ توحيد و سنت زدودند و بي پروا فرياد برآوردند كه: برخيز تا يكسو نهيم اين دلقِ ازرق فام را هر ساعت از ما قبل هاي با بت پرستي م يرود بر باد قلّاشي دهيم اين شرك تقوا نام را توحيد بر ما عرضه كن تا بشكنيم اصنام را حيدر علي قلمداران قمي، كه از زمرة اين بزرگواران بود، در كتاب ارزشمند شاهراه اتحاد، علت اين تفرقه را در جهل مسلمين نسبت به كتاب خدا و سيره پيامبرش مي دانست و كوشيد تا با ريش هيابيِ ديگر علل جداييِ فرق ههاي اسلامي، گامي حقيقي و موثر در جهت تقريب مذاهب بردارد. تلاش و جديت ديگر علما و دلسوزان اسلام، همچون آيت الله سيد ابوالفضل برقعي قمي، سيد مصطفي حسيني طباطبايي، آيت الله شريعت سنگلجي، يوسف شعار و بسياري ديگر از اين مجاهدانِ راه حق، بدون شك، الگويي است براي حق پژوهان و جويندگانِ گوهر دين، تا با تأسي از شيوة دي نپژوهي وعيار سنجيِ مدعيات ديني و در ساية آموزه هاي ناب قرآن و سنت، در جهت پژوهش هاي يكتاپرستانه گام هاي موثري بردارند و گ مگشتگان را مدد رسانند تا ره به ساحلِ سلامت برند و از گرداب شرك و توهم رهايي يابند. تلاش هاي خستگي ناپذيرِ اين رادمردانِ عرصه يكتاپرستي، رسالتي را بر دوش ديگراني مي گذارد كه شاهد گرفتاري هاي دينيِ جامعه و جدايي مسلمانان از تعاليم حياتبخش اسلام، به ويژه در ايران هستند. لازم به ذكر هست كه اصلاح گراني كه امروز كتاب هايشان را منتشر مي كنيم، در خلال تغيير مذهب از شيعه دوازده امامي، كه در گذشته پيرو آن بوده اند، مرحله هاي متعددي را پشت سر گذاشته اند و باطل بودن عقايد شيعة امامي مانند امامت از ديدگاه شيعه، عصمت، رجعت و غيبت و اختلافاتي را كه ميان صحابه رخ داده به صورتي تدريجي و در چند مرحله كشف كرده اند؛ به همين دليل عجيب نيست كه در تعدادي از كتاب هايي كه در ابتداي امر تأليف كرد هاند، برخي از اثرات و بازماند ههاي عقايد گذشته به چشم بخورد. ولي كتاب هاي بعديِ آنها از اين عقايد غلو آميز رها شده، بلكه كاملا از آن پاك شده است؛ به هدف نزديك شده و بلكه عقيدة بي آلايش و پاك توحيدي را در آغوش كشيده اند. اهداف آنچه امروز در اختيار داريد، تلاشي است در جهت نشر معارف دين و اداي احترام به مجاهدت هاي خستگي ناپذيرِ مردانِ خدا. هدف از انتشار اين مجموعه، اين است كه: -1 امكان تنظيم و نشرِ آثار موحدين، به صورت اينترنتي، الكترونيكي، لوح فشرده و چاپي مهيا شود، تا زمينه آشنايي جامعه با انديشه و آراء توحيدي آنان فراهم و ارزش هاي راستينِ دين، به نسل هاي بعد منتقل گردد. -2 با معرفي آثار و انديشه هاي اين دانشمندان موحد، چراغي فرا راه پژوه شهاي توحيدي و حقيقت جويانه قرار گيرد و الگويي شايسته به جامعه انديشمند ايران معرفي شود. -3 جامعه مقلد، روحاني گرا، مرجع محور و مداح دوست ايران را به تفكر در انديشه هاي خود وادارد و ضمن جايگزين كردن فرهنگ تحقيق به جاي تقليد، به آنان نشان دهد كه چگونه از دلِ شيعة غاليِ خرافي، مرداني برخاستند كه با تكيه بر كلام خدا و سنت رسول، ره به روشناييِ توحيد بردند. -4 با نشر آثار و افكارِ اين موحدينِ پاك نهاد، ثمرة پژوهش هاي ب يشائبة آنان را از تيغ سانسور و محاق جهل و تعصبِ زمامدارانِ دين و فرهنگ ايران به در آورد و با ترجمه اين كتاب ها به ديگر زبان ها، زمينه اي فراهم كند براي آشناييِ امت بزگ اسلام در ديگر كشورها با نگرش ها و انديشه هاي يكتاپرستانِ مسلمان در ايران.

The Grim Reaper is coming to the courtroom—where Daniel Pike and Ben Kincaid may face their final judgment. In Florida, defense attorney Daniel Pike is stunned when his legal files are ransacked and his lover, Maria Morales, disappears. In Oklahoma, semi-retired attorney Ben Kincaid is horrified when his connection to this apparent abduction endangers the people he loves most. Desperate for help, Pike seizes Kincaid and hauls him on a cross-country road trip to discover what happened to Maria…and why a killer is so interested in a California murder case. During the journey, Dan and Ben encounter Roswell aliens, San Diego cosplay, snowstorms, barroom brawls, assassination attempts, a cartel rubout, and an old acquaintance now behind bars. But someone dressed as the Grim Reaper is leaving a bloodstained trail of victims from one coast to the other. Every new clue points to a West Coast murder conviction—and a pending motion that might prevent a major injustice. Reluctantly, Dan and Ben agree to represent the defendant who might hold the answers they seek—or might make them the next victims. Will this be the capstone to their distinguished careers—or the final ride into the sunset? Enthralling for newcomers and fans, Partners in Crime launches a new Daniel Pike series and also features Ben Kincaid, the author’s first fictional attorney returning after more than a decade. If you like spellbinding courtroom drama, unexpected revelations, and jaw-dropping action, you’ll love William Bernhardt’s thrill-packed legal road trip.

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.

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—.

Winner of the 2023 National Book Critics Circle for Nonfiction and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize A Washington Post best nonfiction book of 2023 | Winner of the Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction “A riveting indictment of the child welfare system . . . [A] bracing gut punch of a book.” —Robert Kolker, The Washington Post “[A] moving and superbly reported book.” —Jessica Winter, The New Yorker “A harrowing account . . . [and] a powerful critique of [the] foster care system . . . We Were Once a Family is a wrenching book.” —Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice | One of Publishers Weekly's best nonfiction books of 2023 The shocking, deeply reported story of a murder-suicide that claimed the lives of six children—and a searing indictment of the American foster care system. On March 26, 2018, rescue workers discovered a crumpled SUV and the bodies of two women and multiple children at the bottom of a cliff along the Pacific Coast Highway. Investigators soon concluded that the crash was a murder-suicide, but there was more to the story: Jennifer and Sarah Hart, it turned out, were a white married couple who had adopted six Black children from two different Texas families in 2006 and 2008. Behind the family’s loving facade was an alleged pattern of abuse and neglect that had been ignored as the couple withdrew the children from school and moved west. It soon became apparent that the State of Texas knew all too little about the two individuals to whom it had given custody of six children. Immersive journalism of the highest order, Roxanna Asgarian’s We Were Once a Family is a revelation of precarious lives; it is also a shattering exposé of the foster care and adoption systems that produced this tragedy. As a journalist in Houston, Asgarian sought out the children’s birth families and put them at the center of the story. We follow the lives of the Harts’ adopted children and their birth parents, and the machinations of the state agency that sent the children far away. Asgarian’s reporting uncovers persistent racial biases and corruption as young people of color are separated from birth parents without proper cause. The result is a riveting narrative and a deeply reported indictment of a system that continues to fail America’s most vulnerable children while upending the lives of their families.
