Bronwyn Campbell's end-of-summer plans were simple: wrap up her job at Saint Andrews Country Club, meet her friends one last time at the virtual reality arcade, and move across the country-again-with her father. But when lightning strikes while she's working the club's Saint Andrews Heritage Day, she's transported from an American fairway to the home of golf, The Links at St. Andrews, in Scotland-and in the year 1691, no less. When Iain MacDonald discovers Bronwyn knocked out cold on the seventeenth green, little does he know their meeting would change not only the course of their lives but the course of history. The son of the chieftain of Clan MacDonald, Iain bears the weight of responsibility for his family and his clan's survival on his shoulders. Family drama and the growing discord over religion in Scotland add to the heavy load he carries daily while stepping further into his role as future chieftain. As political events between England and Scotland heighten the conflict surrounding the MacDonald lands, Bronwyn and Iain rely upon their shared faith and growing feelings toward each other for survival. Amid the questions that plague both of them, though, one stands out: How can you be with the one you love if your choice ultimately influences history?

Les trente problèmes explorent diverses questions, y compris l'existence d'un début du monde, la nature de la matière première, l'origine de la connaissance de la création de Moïse, l'universalité de cette connaissance, la durée de la création du monde, l'existence d'autres mondes avant le nôtre, l'émanation directe de Dieu, le nombre d'éléments nécessaires à la création, la création des âmes et des corps, la création du Paradis et de l'Enfer, l'existence du Purgatoire, la création des démons et des anges, la rondeur du ciel, la cause finale de la création du monde, et l'altérabilité du monde s'il est éternel. Ces problèmes invitent à de profondes réflexions sur la nature de l'existence et de la foi. Manassé Ben Israël, né à La Rochelle, France vers 1604 et enterré à Ouderkerk aan de Amstel, République néerlandaise en 1657, est connu pour avoir fondé la première imprimerie hébraïque à Amsterdam (Cardozo de Béthencourt, 1904; Levy, 1924; H.P.

"What an incredibly insightful book that speaks from the hearts of a special population of individuals who have been diagnosed as adults with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD)... Patti Kasper has put together an outstanding book. She has been able to bring her own unique point of view to an extraordinarily complex subject in a way from which we can all benefit and learn." Kenneth Lyons Jones, MD, Distinguished Emeritus Professor, Department of Pediatrics University of California, San Diego La Jolla, CA As a foster and adoption social worker, Patricia Kasper wanted to understand why so many children in the foster care system fall between the cracks. A lifelong learner, she ultimately dove into the study of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders, or FASD, which affects 5% of the general population, but up to 70% of youth in foster care. Indeed, Patricia learned that 80% of youth with an FASD are not raised by their parents, and that 86% are either un- or mis-diagnosed. The training Patricia took was revolutionary, as not only did it explain why so many children and youth have been failed, as well as why foster families are so ill-prepared to meet their needs, but it also revealed to Patricia that she herself was impacted by prenatal exposure to alcohol. FASD, a physical disability with behavioral symptoms, is rarely diagnosed, even though it is the #1 preventable cause of developmental, learning and intellectual disabilities world-wide, affecting more people than Autism Spectrum, Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida and Downs Syndrome combined. No one outgrows FASD and services for adults living with FASD are even fewer than those available for children and youth. With a diagnostic rate of less than 1%, there are millions upon millions of adults who are unaware they've had a prenatal brain injury. No two people with FASD are impacted the same way, due to a complexity of factors. Sip by Sip shares with its readers 10 stories, the author's own and the other nine through a series of conversations the author has with other people living with FASD. This book is Patricia's attempt to reach other adults who may find answers to life's struggles by looking at their lives through the lens of FASD.

In December 1997, an unknown Chinese American author named Iris Changpublished The Rape of Nanking: The Forgotten Holocaust of World War Two. Herpassionate but error strewn account of a sixty-year-old episode of Asian politicalviolence was a spectacular success, with over half a million books sold. Thisthesis asks why. Why that piece of history; why that moment; and why thatauthor and that book?

Alexander's social theory of cultural trauma.

A brief journey to the roots of Jiu-Jitsu through an important historical record.A book written by the legendary Japanese fighter Mitsuyo Maeda (1878 - 1941), the famous Conde Koma, precursor of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.Mitsuyo Maeda learned the gentle way at the Kodokan, with an instructor directly appointed by Jigoro Kano, the creator of Judo. He received his black belt in 1889, and five years later he left Japan to travel the world demonstrating the effectiveness of his martial art, then called "Kano Jiu-Jitsu".After traveling through Europe, the United States, and Central America, he settled in Brazil in 1917, where he married and taught the precepts of the gentle way. In addition to being one of the first to introduce Judo to Brazil, his work as a teacher in the city of Belém do Pará, with Carlos Gracie, Hélio Gracie's brother, as his student, sowed the seeds of what would become Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.This book, written during his time in El Salvador in 1913, gives us a glimpse of his vision, descriptions, and photographic records of various techniques: locks, chokes, projections, and self-defense techniques, as well as his teachings on healthy habits.Self-defense or jiu-jitsu achievable by everyone is a small piece of judo and jiu-jitsu history, inaccessible for decades, now at your fingertips.
