The Gospel according to Jesus Christ - Jose Samarago

Saramago's Jesus is the son not of God but of Joseph. In the wilderness he tussles not with the Devil - a kindly and necessary evil - but with God, a fallible, power-hungry autocrat. And he must die not for the sins of the fathers but for the sins of the

Poor Numbers

One of the most urgent challenges in African economic development is to devise a strategy for improving statistical capacity. Reliable statistics, including estimates of economic growth rates and per-capita income, are basic to the operation of governments in developing countries and vital to nongovernmental organizations and other entities that provide financial aid to them. Rich countries and international financial institutions such as the World Bank allocate their development resources on the basis of such data. The paucity of accurate statistics is not merely a technical problem; it has a massive impact on the welfare of citizens in developing countries.Where do these statistics originate? How accurate are they? Poor Numbers is the first analysis of the production and use of African economic development statistics. Morten Jerven's research shows how the

Agile!

Are you attracted by the promises of agile methods but put off by the adoring tone and fanaticism of so many of the agile texts? Would you like to know which agile techniques work, which ones will not matter much, and which ones will actually harm your projects? Then you need Bertrand Meyer s Agile! : the first exhaustive, unbiased review of agile principles, techniques and tools.§Agile methods are clearly one of the most important developments in software over the past decades, but they are a surprising mix of the best and the worst. Until now every project and every developer had to sift by themselves through the ideas and sort out the gems from the gravel. This book, the result of an immersion of several years in the practice of agile development and the agile literature, spares you the pain. It offers both a thorough descriptive presentation of agile techniques and a perceptive, no-nonsense analysis of their benefits and limitations, by one of the top names in software engineering.§The first achievement of Meyer s book is to serve as a primer on agile development : one chapter each introduces agile principles, roles, managerial practices, technical practices and artifacts. This concise yet complete review will enable you to master all the important agile ideas. A separate chapter analyzes the four major agile methods: Extreme Programming, Lean Software, Scrum and Crystal.§The accompanying critical analysis explains what you should retain and discard from agile ideas. It is based on Meyer s thorough knowledge of the methods, principles and literature of software engineering, and his extensive personal experience of programming and project management. He fearlessly calls the agile proponents bluff by debunking the hyped and unsound ideas, and highlights the truly brilliant contributions even those to which their own authors do not do full justice. §Three important chapters precede the core discussion of agile ideas: an extended overview, serving as a concentrate of the entire book; a dissection of the intellectual devices used by agile authors to convey their arguments; and a measured review of the classical software engineering techniques, such as requirements analysis and lifecycle models, which agile methods love to criticize. The final chapters describe the precautions that a company should take during a transition to agile development, and present the overall assessment of agile ideas, with a carefully defined list of the ugly, the hyped, the good and the truly brilliant. §This is the first book to discuss agile methods, beyond the brouhaha, in the general context of modern software engineering. It is a key resource for projects that want to combine the best of established results and agile innovations.§

From Solidarity to Sellout

In the 1980s and 90s, renowned Polish economist Tadeusz Kowalik played a leading role in the Solidarity movement, struggling alongside workers for an alternative to really-existing socialism that was cooperative and controlled by the workers themselves. In the ensuing two decades, really-existing socialism has collapsed, capitalism has been restored, and Poland is now among the most unequal countries in the world. Kowalik asks, how could this happen in a country that once had the largest and most militant labor movement in Europe?This book takes readers inside the debates within Solidarity, academic and intellectual circles, and the Communist Party over the future of Poland and competing visions of society. Kowalik argues that the failures of the Communist Party, combined with the power of the Catholic Church and interference from the United States, subverted efforts to

Acts of the Council of Constantinople of 533

The Council of Constantinople of 553 (often called Constantinople II or the Fifth Ecumenical Council) has been described as 'by far the most problematic of all the councils', because it condemned two of the greatest biblical scholars and commentators of the patristic era DS Origen and Theodore of Mopsuestia DS and because the pope of the day, Vigilius, first condemned the council and then confirmed its decisions only under duress. The present edition makes accessible to the modern reader the acts of the council, session by session, and the most important related documents, particularly those that reveal the shifting stance of Pope Vigilius, veering between heroic resistance and abject compliance. The accompanying commentary and substantial introduction provide a background narrative of developments since Chalcedon, a full analysis of the policy of the emperor Justinian (who summoned and

ALCHEMIST 25TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION

"To realize one's destiny is a person's only obligation."--from The AlchemistThe Alchemist tells the story of Santiago, the young Andalusian shepherd who dreams of buried treasure in Egypt and embarks upon a challenging journey to find it. With all the simplicity and symbolic richness of a fable, Coelho's novel is both a hunt for buried treasure and a spiritual quest, with a hero who overcomes trials along the way with the help of teachers who guide him.Paulo Coelho's books have difficult--and valuable--lessons to impart, but much of their appeal comes from the way Coelho dramatizes these lessons. With exquisite simplicity, the author brings to these stories his own experience of confronting life's most profound challenges, his broad knowledge of philosophy, psychology, and literature, and a deeply-felt humanity.Freshman

Inner Reading and Inner Hearing

2 lecture courses & 2 Christmas lectures, Dornach, Oct. 3-7 & Dec. 12-20, 1914; Dornach, Dec. 26 and Basel, Dec. 27, 1914 (CW 156)These two lecture courses, given just after the beginning of World War I, stand as a kind of unexpected gift. A few months later, once the war became a reality, the possibilities for esoteric work would change and it would become more difficult to do spiritual research. But in the short interval before the true horror of the conflict unfolded, Rudolf Steiner--almost by the way--was able to give these lectures, which lay out in the clearest fashion the path of anthroposophic meditation, and its assumptions, language, and consequences.The first lectures expand on the idea of inner "reading" and "hearing" as the path to spiritual knowing. The spiritual world gives something and we, as spiritual researchers,
