Samira Ashton é uma mulher vulgar, com um quotidiano normal cujo casamento se foi deteriorando sem ela dar por isso. Quando "acorda" encontra uma forma de evasão que a leva a uma reviravolta na sua vida.

Quando la guerra ha l'ambizione costitutiva di utilizzare il criterio dell'efficacia per costruire un diverso ordine mondiale, il principio di legalità internazionale entra in crisi e con esso la politica stessa del conflitto. Concetti chiave della tradizione culturale occidentale quali sovranità, democrazia, popolo, diritto, comunità subiscono la torsione della crisi polemica e si riposizionano nella costellazione della paura e della disgregazione. In questo senso, il realismo dell'effettività e, dunque, della politica di potenza, si scontra con un immaginario letterario e artistico che costruisce narrazioni di spazi e corpi nelle dimensioni del genere e della vita. Resistenze contro la grammatica rozza della morte in un vincolo che da sempre lega la guerra alla necessità di raccontarla.

This book contains an Irish translation of the the second-edition English version (ISBN 9780244879822, https://logicpress.ie/2020-1/index.html) of a one-semester undergraduate course taught through the medium of Irish. I have given this course in Maynooth each year since 2006. The class is typically quite mixed, and the book aims to challenge students familiar with rigorous arguments while simultaneously providing comfort to other students that prefer procedural mathematics---not an easy balancing act! For instance, some exercises are targeted at one or other of these two groups of students and, while some material is done in the context of metric spaces, guidance is given to the reader who prefers to stick to the real line. This second edition of the book has no major new topics, but it is about twice as long as the first. Some topics are explored in greater depth (e.g. conjugacy and semiconjugacy, bifurcation) and some proofs have been added (notably for Sharkovsky's and Singer's theorems). Additional exercises have been given, and the most challenging ones are marked appropriately. There is a glossary giving translations of terms.

Existen peles transparentes para os nosos ollos que habitan a dor das rúas, a dureza das superficies. A crueza da existencia é moito máis que un recurso poético. Por tras deste libro de poemas hai vidas sen nome, rúas polas que transitamos sen pararnos a observar as marcas, os restos que esas vidas foron depositando sobre o pavimento.

I fenomeni sociali contemporanei sono connotati da un grado di mutevolezza, complessità e interdipendenza che non conosce precedenti. Gli sconvolgimenti avvenuti in questo primo scorcio del XXI secolo sono molteplici e chiamano in causa scenari politici, tecnologici ed emergenziali inediti. Emergono interrogativi ineludibili che interpellano lo scienziato sociale e schiudono nuovi spazi per il dialogo e l'integrazione tra discipline e metodologie differenti, alla ricerca di categorie e approcci che permettano di interpretare il presente e che possano orientarci nella costruzione di un futuro equo e sostenibile.La comunità italiana delle dottorande e dei dottorandi in scienze sociali ha percepito fortemente questa necessità, decidendo di riunirsi per dare luogo ad un confronto ampio che si muovesse in questadirezione.

Born in a well-lit council room in a beautiful brick building in Philadelphia, our nation was conceived out of an unheard-of political ideal and shaped by five words which have echoed off the walls and streets of every town throughout the nation:All men are created equalHowever, when the men at Independence Hall dared to forge a new nation against impossible odds, their iconic phrase was little more than a fantasy to such a diverse group of fragmented people. Plantation owners. Slaves. Factory owners. Child laborers. Merchants. Indentured servants. Poor farmers. Privateers and pirates. Sailors. Politicians. Average people from all religions, all social classes, and all countries. A fragmented, dissonant people attempting to form a cohesive, harmonious orchestra. Average people pursuing an extraordinary goal:All men are created equalMeanwhile, the world watched America, the Great Experiment, with incredulous and scoffing eyes. A host of admirers, skeptics, emulators, and naysayers looked on, watching to see if the petulant colonists would succeed in their fool's errand or simply fall apart in their ineptitude.This is the dramatic story of America's successes and failures in its quest to achieve the highest possible ideal for mankind:All men are created equalA five-word phrase that left an indelible mark on the world by offering every unique individual something they had always searched for: hope.

As Jesus was passing by in Matthew chapter 9, three-blind men recognized their opportunity for a healing; they seized the moment by crying out "Thou son of David, have mercy on us." (Verse 27).They did not ask for money, deliverance, or help; they asked for mercy. They recognized that if they must be made whole, and if their destinies were to be repaired, it would only happen on the template of mercy.Mercy was the vehicle, conduit pipe, or channel by which they could obtain whatsoever it was they desired of the Master; but Jesus was going to introduce them to another spiritual principle by asking:"Believe ye that I am able to do this?" (Verse 28).So, Jesus was saying, although mercy is the template or vehicle by which your request is going to come; however, belief (or faith) is the acceptable currency for this transaction.Any other thing would not be considered as a spiritual legal tender to acquire that which you desire; only faith (belief) would do!These blind men searched within themselves and confirmed that although they had no physical currency or shekels, they certainly had the required 'spiritual currency' of faith and answered, "Yea Lord." (Verse 28).Jesus responded by saying..."...According to your faith be it unto you." (Mt. 9:29 - KJV).We can only take delivery of our miracles in accordance with the measure of faith we demonstrate, show, or bring forth.Men only receive according to faith (Rom. 12:3, 6).Everything we could ever require for life and godliness is abundantly made available in God's treasure house. However, Dollars, Pounds, Yen, or any other kind of earthly currency will be totally unacceptable. The only acceptable currency is faith (or belief)!This book will take you, the reader, beyond the shallow waters, and beyond the letter of the word; it will launch you into the Spirit behind the word, the intent, the integrity and immutability of the Word of God.APOSTLE (DR.) DAYO BROWN.

The Science Fiction Abundance is a book of poetry that documents almost all corners of the science fiction genre. Science fiction allows for individuals to make the unfamiliar familiar. By this, it is meant that science fiction takes complex philosophical and existential ideas and places them in a story in a way where people can understand these ideas. Science fiction has the opportunity of placing the reader in a world that they could possibly live in someday, thus placing them in an unfamiliar world that has familiarity. This paradox creates cognitive dissonance, striking thought and fear into the reader's mind. Science fiction, in this work, is used as a warning for what could possibly happen in the future, what has happened in the past that is covered up, and what could possibly be happening in the present that we are not aware of. Poetry is used in this book to express these ideas due to the innate nature of poetry capturing the feelings and imaginations of those who read it. Poetry also involves meter and manipulation of words which, in itself, can reflect on many science fiction ideas creating an experience for the reader that is more than just a story.
