What is the opposite of love? Many would say hate, but studying the Bible reveals that it is actually fear. Fear leads us to make harmful decisions and live unproductive, unhappy, and unfruitful lives. Love is the key to a fruitful life, but love must be more than a feeling. Love must be an action, a choice. Choosing love over fear is the most powerful choice we can make. Kenny Vaughan brings this timeless discussion back to the forefront of our spiritual exploration by teaching us to view life as a fruit-bearing tree. When we feed the roots with love, the tree flourishes, and we enjoy the blessings that grow upon it. If we deprive our roots, however if we allow fear to cut us off from love then the whole tree withers and dies. Utilizing both Scripture and anecdotes from modern life, The Right Fight teaches us how to tend our roots, grow our fruit, and, through the grace of God, cast fear out for good.
After enduring a vicious bear attack in the Russian Far East''s Kamchatka Peninsula, a French anthropologist undergoes a physical and spiritual transformation that forces her to confront the tenuous distinction between animal and human.In the Eye of the Wild begins with an account of the French anthropologist Nastassja Martin’s near fatal run-in with a Kamchatka bear in the mountains of Siberia. Martin’s professional interest is animism; she addresses philosophical questions about the relation of humankind to nature, and in her work she seeks to partake as fully as she can in the lives of the indigenous peoples she studies. Her violent encounter with the bear, however, brings her face-to-face with something entirely beyond her ken—the untamed, the nonhuman, the animal, the wild. In the course of that encounter something in the balance of her world shifts. A change takes place that she must somehow reckon with.Left severely mutilated, dazed with pain, Martin undergoes multiple operations in a provincial Russian hospital, while also being grilled by the secret police. Back in France, she finds herself back on the operating table, a source of new trauma. She realizes that the only thing for her to do is to return to Kamchatka. She must discover what it means to have become, as the Even people call it, medka, a person who is half human, half bear.In the Eye of the Wild is a fascinating, mind-altering book about terror, pain, endurance, and self-transformation, comparable in its intensity of perception and originality of style to J. A. Baker’s classic The Peregrine. Here Nastassja Martin takes us to the farthest limits of human being.

Edição com nova capaNunca tivemos tantas maneiras de nos comunicar, e no entanto nunca faltou tanto diálogo no ambiente familiar como nos dias de hoje. Aparentemente, a comunicação via SMS, WhatsApp, Telegram, Messenger, e-mail, celulares, e o bom e "velho" telefone já não se mostram suficientes para ajudar na manutenção ou no estreitamento dos laços entre membros de uma mesma família. Some a isso a correria frenética do dia a dia e uma agenda cheia de atividades, e está montado o cenário típico de ruído de comunicação, prejudicando um dos momentos mais importantes que se pode ter em família: a hora das refeições. A questão não é a alimentação em si, mas o compartilhamento interpessoal e o investimento nos relacionamentos que esse tempo à mesa proporciona. Por isso, devemos saudar o trabalho competente de Devi Titus, que não apenas nos alerta sobre os perigos da comunicação deficiente em família, mas também apresenta dicas valiosas sobre como atribuir à experiência da mesa um valor de dimensões eternas.

The golden era of industrial design that revolutionized home appliances.The fascinating world of product design that emerged between the 1960s and 1980s symbolized the birth of a new age and human behav- ior. From coffee grinders to fondue sets to hairdryers, each home appliance was intended to help in the daily household routines-but they were also masterpieces of style.Based on Jaro Gielens's collection, one of the largest in the world, Soft Electronics explores a nostalgic and unique set of prod- ucts from a very distinct time for design. Each object possesses a sense of longevity, quality, and innovation-one that has been hard to match since manufacturing was moved overseas and planned obsolescence redefined our relationship with electronic goods. Soft Electronics pays homage to an iconic era of design.
