English | 2016 | ISBN: 0745686060 | PDF | pages: 64 | 0.7 mb In the past decade, the developed world has spent almost US$ 2 trillion on foreign aid for poorer countries.

McGavin, Chris Gibson, Neil Fletcher, "RSPB Wildlife of Britain" English | 2008 | ISBN: 1405329327 | PDF | pages: 514 | 165.2 mb [center]  Gladys Ganiel, Heidemarie Winkel, Christophe Monnot, "Religion in Times of Crisis" English | 2014 | ISBN: 9004277781 | PDF | pages: 204 | 0.7 mb Religion is alive and well all over the world, especially in times of personal, political, and social crisis. Even in Europe, long regarded the most "secular" continent, religion has taken centre stage in how people respond to the crises associated with modernity, or how they interact with the nation-state. In this book, scholars working in and on Europe offer fresh perspectives on how religion provides answers to existential crisis, how crisis increases the salience of religious identities and cultural polarization, and how religion is contributing to changes in the modern world in Europe and beyond. Cases from Poland to Pakistan and from Ireland to Zimbabwe, among others, demonstrate the complexity and ambivalence of religion's role in the contemporary world.  Re-designing the smart future: How new technologies are transforming businesses and the 2020 world we live in by André Telles English | July 16, 2020 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B08D9PGMCY | 152 pages | EPUB | 2.86 Mb The future has always intrigued us, packed with various fictions that since childhood gives us a repertoire to imagine this future as uncertain. Well, not so uncertain. The technology has provided a faster advance and, in many cases, things that seemed restricted to movie screens and cartoons are now available. While many fears a possible domination of machines upon humanity, many others say that technology will provide a leap in people's quality of life. The fact is that we have many uncertainties, but technology has already transformed our lives. In Re-Designing The Smart Future, Andrй Telles introduces us to the smart world as a result of a long journey in which knowledge and coexistence made this reality possible, pointing out perspectives based on this process. Clearly and objectively, the book not only reveals this knowledge but also conceptualizes the theme, contextualizes the concepts, and makes them accessible to an audience increasingly interested in technology and innovation.  Almut Fries, "Pseudo-Euripides, Rhesus" English | 2014 | ISBN: 3110342073 | PDF | pages: 537 | 2.7 mb Der pseudo-Euripideische Rhesos ist die einzige vollständig erhaltene griechische Tragödie, die auf einer Episode der Ilias (Buch 10) basiert, und ein einmaliges Zeugnis für die Geschichte der Gattung im 4. Jahrhundert v. Chr. Die Ausgabe mit Einleitung und Kommentar bietet einen griechischen Text, für den die wichtigsten Quellen zum Teil neu verglichen und um ein Papyrusfragment erweitert wurden. Ein Testimonienapparat ergänzt die Angaben zur direkten Überlieferung und hilft, die antike und mittelalterliche Rezeption des Dramas zu verfolgen. Einleitung und Kommentar behandeln sowohl textkritische Probleme, Metrik, Sprache und Stil als auch allgemeine Fragen der Interpretation, wie die Vorlagen des Dichters, Struktur, Dramaturgie und die historischen und mythologisch-religiösen Bezüge der Handlung. Neben Epos, Lyrik und Drama der archaischen und klassischen Zeit werden, soweit möglich, auch Tragikerfragmente und Interpolationen des 4. Jahrhunderts v. Chr. zum Vergleich herangezogen. Das Buch wendet sich an Wissenschaftler und fortgeschrittene Studenten, die an Rhesos selbst oder einzelnen Phänomenen dramatischer Dichtung interessiert sind. Thematisch getrennte Indices erleichtern die Orientierung.  Printer's Error: Irreverent Stories from Book History by J. P.

Peter Kreeft, "Practical Theology: Spiritual Direction from St. Thomas Aquinas" English | 2014 | ISBN: 1586179683 | EPUB | pages: 400 | 0.9 mb From a lifetime of studying the writings of St. Thomas Aquinas, popular author Peter Kreeft says that his amazement has continually increased not only at Aquinas' theoretical, philosophical brilliance and sanity, but also at his personal, practical wisdom, his "existential bite." Yet this second dimension of St. Thomas has usually been eclipsed by the other. Kreeft wrote this book to help bring that sun out from its eclipse. He provides easily digestible samples of the religious wisdom of Aquinas.  Ole Bjerg, "Poker: The Parody of Capitalism" English | 2011 | ISBN: 0472051636 | PDF | pages: 268 | 0.8 mb Poker is an extraordinary worldwide phenomenon with major social, cultural, and political implications, and Poker: The Parody of Capitalism investigates the game of poker as a cultural expression of significance not unlike art, literature, film, or music. Tracing the history of poker and comparing the evolution of the game to the development of capitalism, Ole Bjerg complicates prevalent notions of "casino capitalism" and correspondingly facile and simplistic comparisons of late capitalism and poker. By employing Slavoj Žižek's threefold distinction between imaginary-symbolic-real as a philosophical framework to analyze poker and to understand the basic strategies of the game, Bjerg explores the structural characteristics of poker in relation to other games, making a clear distinction between poker and other gambling games of pure chance such as roulette and craps. With its combination of social theory and empirical research, Poker offers an engaging exploration of a cultural trend.
