Job

Life can be hard, and sometimes it seems like God doesn't even care. When faced with difficult trials, many people have resonated with the book of Job--the story of a man who lost nearly everything, seemingly abandoned by God.In this thorough and accessible commentary, Christopher Ash helps us glean encouragement from God's Word by directing our attention to the final explanation and ultimate resolution of Job's story: the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Intended to equip pastors to preach Job's important message, this commentary highlights God's grace and wisdom in the midst of redemptive suffering.Taking a staggeringly honest look at our broken world and the trials that we often face, Ash helps us see God's sovereign purposes for adversity and the wonderful hope that Christians have in Christ.Luke's carefully researched and orderly account of

Vegetius

The only Latin art of war to survive, Vegetius' Epitome was for long a part of the medieval prince's military education. The core of his proposals, the maintenance of a professional standing army, was revolutionary for medieval Europe, while his theory of deterrence through strength remains the foundation of modern Western defence policy.

Ticho rúk - Bartoš Miroslav

Tisícročia v minútkach „Sedemnásť slabík. Pridlhé na ozvenu, dosť na vyznanie.“ Takto poeticky definuje starý japonský literárny útvar – haiku (17. – 19. st.) spisovateľ Miroslav Bartoš vo svojej básnickej zbierke Ticho rúk. Zároveň nás týmto trojverším „upozorňuje“ na veršovú skratku a myšlienkovú, pocitovú hĺbku tohto žánru. Kniha pozostáva z vyše 200 haiku, ktoré rozdelil do dvoch častí: Pramienky ticha a Dar ticha. Uvedené názvy jasne vypovedajú o jeho zámere – vyvolať v nás široké spektrum pocitov, no predovšetkým vnútorný pokoj a súlad. Dôležitú úlohu pri zhmotňovaní autorovho vnímania sveta majú okrem mysle i jeho ruky. Práve ony „slová ticha“ prinášajú, zaznamenávajú to, čo je pominuteľné – krásu prírody, chvíle zaľúbenia, radosti, nostalgie alebo rozčarovania, smútku z ťažkej osobnej či spoločenskej situácie. Len jedným haiku, 17 slabík v troch veršoch (5, 7, 5), Bartoš pre nás otvára priestor na vnútorné doznievanie, rozjímanie, opätovné prežívanie, jednoducho nám poskytuje čas na samých seba. Môžeme sa zastaviť, či vrátiť v čase, ponoriť sa do ticha a nechať sa unášať impresiami, zmyslovosťou, významovou čistotou, zvukomalebnosťou, jednoducho si tak „haiočkať“ v rytme slova, v pohybe života, odkrývať pravdy, overené tisícročiami ľudskej existencie, a tak si uvedomovať, že ľudská duša nezaniká, že tu všetko už raz bolo, že sme súčasťou niečoho veľkého, čoho zmysel nám často uniká v zhone každodennosti. Autor nás upozorňuje na tento zázrak života, na jeho kontrasty, paradoxy, ktoré v konečnom dôsledku vytvárajú harmóniu. Tým v nás vyvoláva pocity bezpečia, istoty, podporuje nás vo viere, že život je večný. Ticho rúk ponúka verše – ruky, ktoré pomáhajú, pohládzajú, utišujú, rozradostňujú, objímajú, veď v objatí najviac vnímame krásu ticha – jeho dar. Slová navyše sú zbytočné, preto výber básnickej formy haiku považujeme za najvhodnejší (viac v Doslove P. Mišáka). Každé slovo má v nej svoje miesto a silu, čas a priestor, čím nám môže pripomínať naše príslovia, porekadlá, ale i aforizmy. Bartošovu knihu haiku by sme mohli prirovnať k tzv. jednohubkám, k minútkam s výraznou, bohatou chuťou, ktorú autor dosahuje výberom pestrých výrazových prostriedkov (poetizmy, novotvary, neologizmy, a i. ), obsahovými kontrastmi: neha – údernosť, pokoj – pohyb, ticho – hluk, pokora – vzdor, osobné – spoločenské apod. Súčasťou básnickej zbierky sú aj autorove ilustrácie, ktoré ju nevtieravo, jemne umocňujú. A ako to už pri jednohubkách býva, keď začneme, nevieme (alebo skôr nechceme) prestať. Čítame, vnímame, vychutnávame si ich – jedno haiku na jeden nádych a výdych, na jeden hlt... a jeho chuť sa pomaly rozplýva, všetko v nás doznieva. V tichu. Slávka Sudorová

Tilings and Patterns Grunbaum Branko

The definitive book on tiling and geometric patterns, this magnificently illustrated volume features 520 figures and more than 100 tables. Accessible to anyone with a grasp of geometry, it offers numerous graphic examples of two-dimensional spaces covered with interlocking figures, in addition to related problems and references. Suitable for geometry courses as well as independent study, this inspiring book is geared toward students, professional mathematicians, and readers interested in patterns and shapes—artists, architects, and crystallographers, among others. Along with helpful examples from mathematics and geometry, it draws upon models from fields as diverse as crystallography, virology, art, philosophy, and quilting. The self-contained chapters need not be read in sequence, and each concludes with an excellent selection of notes and references. The first seven chapters can be used as a classroom text, and the final four contain fascinating browsing material, including detailed surveys of color patterns, groups of color symmetry, and tilings by polygons.

Hold on to Your Dreams Lawrence Tim

Hold On to Your Dreams is the first biography of the musician and composer Arthur Russell, one of the most important but least known contributors to New York's downtown music scene during the 1970s and 1980s. With the exception of a few dance recordings, including "Is It All Over My Face?" and "Go Bang! #5", Russell's pioneering music was largely forgotten until 2004, when the posthumous release of two albums brought new attention to the artist. This revival of interest gained momentum with the issue of additional albums and the documentary film Wild Combination. Based on interviews with more than seventy of his collaborators, family members, and friends, Hold On to Your Dreams provides vital new information about this singular, eccentric musician and his role in the boundary-breaking downtown music scene.Tim Lawrence traces Russell's odyssey from his hometown

Birmingham Canals Shill RayPaperback

It is said that there are more miles of canals in Birmingham than in Venice. The canals contributed much to the growth of Birmingham bringing coal and merchandise into the town. From 1838 to 1932 Birmingham continued to grow and absorb neighboring communities. Originally independent canal companies were responsible for these waterways, today run by British Waterways, whose local office at Ocker Hill serves Birmingham and the Black Country. Although part of the national network, each Birmingham canal retains its original identity and most are still in waster and regularly used. This illustrated book captures the old Birmingham canals under busy trade days and compares them to the twilight years and the modern more recreational

KJV Bible 1611 Edition

400th Anniversary EditionFor 400 years, the Authorized Version of the Bible popularly known as the King James Version has been beloved for its majestic phrasing and stately cadences. No other book has so profoundly influenced our language and our theology. Over time, however, the text has suffered subtle and occasionally troublesome alterations.

Operation Nemesis Bogosian Eric

A masterful account of the assassins who hunted down the perpetrators of the Armenian GenocideIn 1921, a tightly knit band of killers set out to avenge the deaths of almost one million victims of the Armenian Genocide. They were a humble bunch: an accountant, a life insurance salesman, a newspaper editor, an engineering student, and a diplomat. Together they formed one of the most effective assassination squads in history. They named their operation Nemesis, after the Greek goddess of retribution. The assassins were survivors, men defined by the massive tragedy that had devastated their people. With operatives on three continents, the Nemesis team killed six major Turkish leaders in Berlin, Constantinople, Tiflis, and Rome, only to disband and suddenly disappear. The story of this secret operation has never been fully told, until now.Eric Bogosian goes beyond

Deváté dítě

Kniha vypráví životní osudy Edgara Brichty, narozeného v roce 1930 v židovské rodině v Bratislavě. Po vypuknutí války na podzim roku 1939, kdy se situace pro osoby židovského původu v Československu ještě více zkomplikovala, se Edgarovi rodiče dozvěděli o možnosti poslat svého syna do tehdy neutrálního Norska. O čtyři roky mladší sestra Vera byla na cestu příliš malá.Dohromady odjelo z Československa do Norska 37 dětí. Edgar byl umístěn u manželského páru v Bergenu v západním Norsku.V dubnu 1940 však obsadili Němci i Norsko a v roce 1942 bylo také zde přikročeno k zatýkání a deportacím židovského obyvatelstva. Edgarův pěstoun se navíc stal členem Národního sjednocení – norské národně-socialistické strany – a záhy byl Němci dosazen na místo starosty v obci Laksevag nedaleko Bergenu.Jak je možné, že židovský chlapec přežil druhou světovou válku v rodině předního nacistického činitele? Jeho pěstoun byl nejen kolaborant, ale také přesvědčený antisemita a s Edgarem měl několik konfliktů, nicméně paralelně mezi nimi vzniklo silné osobní pouto. Důležitou roli v Edgarově osudu sehrála také pěstounka, která se o politiku nijak nezajímala, a několik dalších osob, jež Edgarovi během války i později pomáhaly.Po podepsání míru se Edgar rozhodl k návratu domů. Důvodem byla jeho snaha najít své rodiče a sestru. Po dlouhém a složitém pátrání se mu podařilo zjistit pouze to, že se v roce 1942 dostali v jednom transportu do Osvětimi, kde také zahynuli.Edgar žil po skončení války chvíli v Československu. Zde se v sionistickém táboře v Bratislavě připravoval na emigraci do Izraele, na poslední chvíli se však rozmyslel a po složitých jednáních se vrátil do Norska. V té době už byl jeho norský pěstoun odsouzen za vlastizradu. Edgar udržoval s pěstouny kontakt až do jejich smrti v 90. letech.Později Edgar emigroval do Kanady a USA a stal se nejprve vojenským a poté dětským lékařem. Dnes žije v Kalifornii se svou ženou, která také pochází ze Slovenska a válku přežila za podobně dramatických podmínek, a se svými pěti dětmi.Kniha se opírá o rozsáhlý rozhovor s Edgarem Brichtou i jeho současníky a o množství archivních materiálů.
