 Liz Cowley, "Gardening in Slippers: New Poems for Garden Lovers: New Poems for Gardening Lovers" English | ISBN: 1783340754 | 2015 | 128 pages | EPUB | 271 KB Liz has always loved gardening ever since she was a child, and is frequently in her slippers first thing in the morning, 'like so many of us who love their gardens.' Nothing misses Liz's warm and wicked wit - snails and slugs, triumphs and disasters, favourite flowers and infuriating weeds, nosy neighbours and expensive tree surgeons, the frustration of overcrowded flower shows - here is everything from the joy of seeing the first crocus to the irritation of losing a much-loved trowel. Laugh through the four seasons as you read over 100 gems, in many different styles from classic to modern, and always written straight from the heart.  John F. Desmond, "Fyodor Dostoevsky, Walker Percy, and the Age of Suicide" English | 2019 | ISBN: 0813231272 | PDF | pages: 313 | 1.4 mb Fyodor Dostoevsky, Walker Percy, and the Age of Suicide is a study of the phenomenon of suicide in modern and post-modern society as represented in the major fictional works of Fyodor Dostoevsky and Walker Percy. In his study, suicide is understood in both a literal and spiritual sense as referring to both the actual suicides in their works and to the broader social malaise of spiritual suicide, or despair. In the 19th century Dostoevsky called suicide "the terrible question of our age". For his part, Percy understood 20th century Western culture as "suicidal" in both its social, political and military behavior and in the deeper sense that its citizenry had suffered an ontological "loss of self" or "deformation" of being. Likewise, Thomas Merton called the 20th century an "age of suicide".
 Paulo de Assis, Michael Schwab, "Futures of the Contemporary: Contemporaneity, Untimeliness, and Artistic Research" English | 2019 | pages: 191 | ISBN: 9462701830 | PDF | 4,6 mb Futures of the Contemporary explores different notions and manifestations of "the contemporary" in music, visual arts, art theory, and philosophy. In particular, the authors in this collection of essays scrutinise the role of artistic research in critical and creative expressions of contemporaneity. When distinguished from "the contemporaneous" of a given historical time, "the contemporary" becomes a crucial concept, promoting or excluding objects and practices according to their ability to diagnose previously unnoticed aspects of the present. In this sense, the contemporary gains a critical function, involving particular modes of relating to history and one's own time.

Guy Mansini, "Fundamental Theology" English | 2018 | ISBN: 0813229855 | PDF | pages: 304 | 1.2 mb Fundamental Theology examines the light by which the mysteries of Christ and the Church, the Trinity and the Sacraments, are revealed to us. That light we call "revelation," and fundamental theology examines in the first place what this light shows about itself, and how it is sustained in the world. Or again, fundamental theology considers what the word of God has to say both about itself and what it has to say about where in the world it is to be heard. So, first it is a theology of Revelation (chapter 1), and second, a theology of the transmission of Revelation in Tradition, Scripture, and the Church (chapters 2, 3, and 4). Why must Revelation have the shape it does, and why must it be constituted by both word and event? Why is Tradition prior to Scripture, why must the word of God be written down, and why must Scripture come to us in two testaments? And why must the message conveyed in Tradition and Scripture have a living interpreter in the Church?

Carmen Maria Navarro, "Fostering: A Memoir of Courage and Hope" English | ASIN: B0B4KFSNKD | 2022 | 266 pages | EPUB | 542 KB What are you willing to sacrifice to save a child who's not your own?  James Lawton, "Forever Boys " English | ISBN: 147291242X | 2016 | pages | EPUB | 4 MB Sunday Times Sports Book of the Year 2015 Sometimes you love a football team not only for their strengths, the splendour of their play and the appealing thrust of their character, but also the haunting possibility that their best hopes may never be fulfilled. This has rarely been demonstrated so vividly as by the Manchester City team who briefly, but unforgettably, illuminated the late sixties. And no one was more caught up in their struggles and their triumphs than James Lawton, a young sportswriter starting out on a career that would take him to all the great events of world sport. Yet still, 50 years after Joe Mercer and Malcolm Allison began to shape the brilliant team, he counts watching their rise to glory as one of the most exciting times of his professional life. Francis Lee, Colin Bell, Mike Summerbee - these players loomed large over the game as they charged at the peaks of English football, and today evoke a period of the sport's history that seems distant and unknowable, hard to see except through the rose-tinted gloss of nostalgia. Lawton goes back to those heroes, interviewing all the main players and characters who are still alive, and vividly brings to life the story of that City team which with such wonderful panache, and freedom, won the first division title, the FA Cup, the League Cup and the European Cup Winners Cup between 1967 and 1970. This, though, is not just the story of one team, but a broader one of how sport can sometimes so perfectly mirror the exaltation and the despair of the real world, how it carries those who do it, and sometimes even those who merely see it, to moments that will claim a permanent place in their hearts. |
