If you are a fan of Jodi Picoult or Susan Lewis, this is equal parts family drama, love story and thriller. Diane Chamberlain is the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Silent Sister and The Midwife's Confession.Susanna Miller loses custody of her eleven-month-old son, Tyler, but rather than turning the little boy over to her ex-husband and his new wife, she goes on the run. She dyes her hair, changes her name and escapes from Boulder, Colorado, leaving behind everyone she knows including Linc Sebastian, the man who has been her best friend since childhood and who knows her better than anyone. Susanna lands in Annapolis, Maryland, alone, frightened, and always looking over her shoulder for someone who might recognize her. Just as she's beginning to feel safe in her new surroundings, she stumbles across information that could save the lives of many people . . . if she's willing to take it to the police. But going to the authorities means revealing her identity, admitting her guilt and, worst of all, losing her son.

Tato studie pojednává o dvou temných archetypech. Mužský pól prezentuje Lucifer, ženskou polaritu zastupuje Lilit.

It was a gathering together of many classical and post-classical agricultural works, from Pliny in ancient Rome to the 7th-century Cassianus Bassus and the 4th-century Vindonius Anatolius. Many of these no longer survive, making the Geoponika the more valuable. It is a source both for ancient Roman agricultural practice in the West, and for understanding Near Eastern agriculture and what went on in Byzantine Anatolia. It was once translated into English, in the early 19th century, but has usually only been accessible to scholars of Greek. The history of the manuscript is extremely

The idea of technological singularity, and what it would mean if ordinary human intelligence were enhanced or overtaken by artificial intelligence.The idea that human history is approaching a "singularity" -- that ordinary humans will someday be overtaken by artificially intelligent machines or cognitively enhanced biological intelligence, or both -- has moved from the realm of science fiction to serious debate. Some singularity theorists predict that if the field of artificial intelligence (AI) continues to develop at its current dizzying rate, the singularity could come about in the middle of the present century. Murray Shanahan offers an introduction to the idea of the singularity and considers the ramifications of such a potentially seismic event.Shanahan's aim is not to make predictions but rather to investigate a range of scenarios. Whether we believe that

Many church leaders, yearning for church growth, look to the latest evangelistic strategies or seeker-targeted worship services. But lack of growth might not be due to lack of concern for new people--it may be because we are not effectively discipling the people we already have. Greg Ogden address the need for discipleship in the local church and recovers Jesus' method of accomplishing life change by investing in just a few people at a time. Ogden sets forth his vision for transforming both the individual disciple and discipleship itself, showing how discipleship can become a self-replicating process with ongoing impact from generation to generation. This revised and updated edition includes a new chapter on discipleship and

This overview is accompanied by numerous illustrated essays from renowned authors, including Peter Sloterdijk, Richard Sennett, Paola Antonelli, Jonathan Olivares, Mario Carpo, Louise Schouwenberg, Jan Boelen, Janna Lipsky and Mateo Kries.

One of the most influential directors in the history of French cinema, Robert Bresson never strayed from his iconoclastic ways, insisting on the use of nonprofessional actors, shunning the advances of Cinerama and CinemaScope (and the work of most of his predecessors and peers), mincing no words about the damaging influence of capitalism and the studio system on the still-developing in his view art of film. Organized chronologically, this collection of interviews and testimonials reveals the development of Bresson s thought over the course of forty years, punctuated by recurring mantras such as Sound cinema invented silence, Characters don t make a film, a film makes its characters, Cinema is a form of writing, and (paraphrased from the Bible) Every idle word shall be counted. His integrity and originality earned him the respect of younger innovators, notably the filmmakers of the French New Wave, whose importance he recognized from the start. Perhaps the most striking cumulative effect of this palimpsest of self-interpretation is the revelation, beneath the apparently hyper-controlled aesthetic of Bresson s films, of a near-religious belief in the value of intuition, not only that of the creator but that of the general public, which he claims to deeply respect: People are always ready to feel before they understand. And that s how it should be. ",

The contributions of major figures are highlighted and assessed in terms of their empirical, conceptual, and

Part Field Notes from a Catastrophe, part 1984, part World War Z, John Feffer's striking new dystopian novel, takes us deep into the battered, shattered world of 2050. The European Union has broken apart. Multiethnic great powers like Russia and China have shriveled. America's global military footprint has virtually disappeared and the United States remains united in name only. Nationalism has proven the century's most enduring force as ever-rising global temperatures have supercharged each-against-all competition and conflict among the now 300-plus members of an increasingly feeble United Nations.As he navigates the world of 2050, Julian West offers a roadmap for the path we're already on, a chronicle of impending disaster, and a faint light of hope.

On March 11, 2011, Japan suffered the largest earthquake in its modern history. The 9.0-magnitude quake threw up a devastating tsunami that wiped away entire towns, and caused, in the months afterward, three nuclear meltdowns at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant. Altogether, it was the costliest natural disaster in human history.This is not the story of that disaster.This is the story of a man who took a job. Kazuto Tatsuta was an amateur artist who signed onto the dangerous task of cleaning up the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant, which the workers came to call "Ichi-F." This is the story of that challenging work, of the trials faced by the local citizens, and of the unique camaraderie that built up between the mostly blue-collar workers who had to face the devious and invisible threat of radiation on a daily basis.

Úvodný zväzok Spisov, ktorý vyšiel v 20. rokoch 20. storočia a dnešnému čitateľovi je prakticky nedostupný, zahŕňa celú Gellnerovu poéziu a dopĺňa ju o málo známy básnický odkaz a preklady. František Gellner bol predstaviteľom solitérnej revolty, ktorej výsledkom bol ironický a trpko posmešný postoj k spoločnosti, niekedy až provokatívny. Spočiatku sa vysmieval buržoáznym ideálom, morálke a šovinizmu. Neskôr jeho ironický postoj maskoval bolesť sklamaného srdca a v jeho básňach silnela túžba po cite a láske a jeho smútok sa menil na zádumčivú melanchóliu. Jeho poézia sa dodnes hojne číta a zhudobňuje, napríklad v podaní skupiny Katapult alebo speváka a skladateľa Pepu Nosa.

The son of Wyn Henderson, who managed the famous Guggenheim Jeune gallery, he became acquainted with leading figures in modern art, including Max Ernst and Marcel Duchamp. While living in Bethnal Green, east London, he created an extraordinary archive of photography documenting life in the area between 1949 and 1953. This beautiful book showcases 150 of these newly digitized photographs, which capture the heart of working-class London life. From children playing hopscotch to a funeral cortege to street parties celebrating the 1953 coronation, Henderson's unique view of the streets evokes the wit, resilience, and character of the local people as it documents a fast-disappearing way of

Nová kniha Petra Colotku „S oštiepkami do Povstania“ voľne nadväzuje na predchádzajúcu „Vo víre času“. Prvá časť je spomienkovo – poviedková a ako hovorí jazyková redaktorka Dr. Mária Dudáková „...je to kus oravskej j histórie, neprikrášlených spomienok, ktoré majú svoju výpovednú hodnotu, čo dokumentuje aj výber jazykových prostriedkov. Niektoré sa už aj vytratili zo slovenského jazyka, ale dávajú dielu ten pravý punc. Skláňam sa pred autorovou slovnou zásobou, pamäťou a zmyslom pre detaily“. Bodkou za touto časťou je rozhovor Pavla Dinku, šéfredaktora Literárneho týždenníka o takmer tridsaťročnom pôsobení Petra Colotku v politike a diplomacii.Druhá – básnická časť nikoho neprekvapí. Akcentuje témy zmyslu života, lásky, vzťahu k rodine i ku krajine, v ktorej prežil svoj tvorivý život.Posledná časť je návratom k oslavám autorovej deväťdesiatky v roku 2015 vybranými listami známych osobností politického a kultúrneho života.Fotografie len dokresľujú atmosféru autorovho bohatého spoločenského života od začiatku roku 2015 doposiaľ.Z pera talentovanej mladej slovensko - maďarskej autorky Noémi Kolčákovej Szakállovej pochádzajú pôvabné ilustrácie, tematicky zamerané na jednotlivé udalosti rozprávača Colotku.Veríme, že autorove návraty do minulosti zaujmú čitateľov rovnako ako editorov knihy.Číslo vydania 1Jazyky slovenskýPočet strán 220Dátum uvedenia titulu 2017-04-01Rozmery 218x116x18Hmotnosť 549gTypKnihy viazané

Doprovodný katalog ke stejnojmenné výstavě v Galerii Roberta Guttmanna. Charta 77, občanská iniciativa požadující dodržování lidských a občanských práv, byla nejvýznamnější akcí odporu proti komunistickému režimu a normalizaci. Čtyřicáté výročí zveřejnění tohoto dokumentu v roce 2017 nabídlo možnost představit fenomén židovské obce v období normalizace v jeho nesporné specifičnosti a současně jako mikrosvět, ve kterém se na menším prostoru, ale neméně intenzivně odehrávaly podobné procesy jako ve většinové společnosti. Katalog prezentuje na konkrétních případech způsoby působení StB proti židovským obcím, dilemata, jimž byli jejich členové vystaveni, ale i zapojení některých jejich členů do disentu a aktivit mimo rámec oficiálních židovských obcí. Nebyly však zachyceny jen různé formy dobové "protisionistické" propagandy a jejich dopad na lidské životy. Součástí normalizace bylo také ničení židovských hřbitovů, demolice synagog, zamezování výzkumu a dokumentace osudu Židů za druhé světové války stejně jako téměř úplná likvidace judaistiky. Katalog obsahuje fotografie zachycující každodennost židovského života, snahy o jeho zachování navzdory koordinovaným snahám státních orgánů o utlumení jakýchkoliv smysluplných aktivit, zejména předávání tradic dalším generacím. Většina unikátních dokumentů a fotografií z různých archivních zdrojů se na výstavě a v katalogu objevila vůbec poprvé.

Kde je chyba? Hledání odpovědi na otázku absolutní chronologie santorinského vulkánu.Jedním z nejprobádanějších a nejčastěji citovaných problémů egejské doby bronzové je otázka absolutní datace výbuchu santorinské sopky, potažmo celé pozdní doby bronzové ve velmi širokém regionu od Egypta přes Přední východ po střední Evropu. Názory a výsledky přírodních věd a tradiční archeologie se neshodují a jejich argumentace umísťují událost od poloviny 17. století až po konec 16. století před Kr., výjimečně i později. Práce analyzuje jednotlivé argumenty i metodologické přístupy a snaží se odpovědět na otázku neshody jednotlivých přístupů. Tzv. mínojská erupce (nebo santorinská katastrofa) ovlivnila nejenom životy lidí ve velmi širokém regionu, ale také globální klima. Jedná se tedy o klíčovou událost pozdní doby bronzové. Její přesné datování umožní synchronizaci regionálních chronologických systémů mediteránních a evropských regionů a tvorbu přesného časového rámce, který je nutností pro další řešení kauzálních otázek historie doby bronzové.
