The social and cultural challenges posed by the increasing threat to creation (climate change, destruction of biodiversity, etc.) are the starting point for new philosophical-ethical and theological reflections on the relationship between God, human beings and the world, as presented in this volume. God's creative impulse, which transforms anew, is at work in the actions of human beings and challenges us, in view of the threat to the "house of life" earth, to go new ways that make a common and good life possible. Creation and transformation are interrelated; an ecological theology of creation and practice of sustainability to be developed in the European context is to be embedded in the horizon of a global, liberating theology. Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Margit Eckholt, professor of dogmatics and fundamental theology at the Institute of Catholic Theology / University of Osnabrück, president of the European Society for Catholic Theology
In this brillant meditation on conceptions of history, Le Goff traces the evolution of the historian's craft. Examining real and imagined oppositions between past and present, ancient and modern, oral and written history, History and Memory reveals the strands of continuity that have characterized historiography from ancient Mesopotamia to modern Europe.
This collection focuses on the characterization of minerals, metals, and materials as well as the application of characterization results on the processing of these materials. Papers cover topics such as clays, ceramics, composites, ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, minerals, electronic materials, magnetic materials, environmental materials, advanced materials, and soft materials. In addition, papers covering materials extraction, materials processing, corrosion, welding, solidification, and method development are included. This book provides a current snapshot of characterization in materials science and its role in validating, informing, and driving current theories in the field of materials science. This volume will serve the dual purpose of furnishing a broad introduction of the field to novices while simultaneously serving to keep subject matter experts up-to-date.
Ethnozoology: Animals In Our Lives represents the first book about this discipline, providing a discussion on key themes on human-animal interactions and their implications, along with recent major advances in research. Humans share the world with a bewildering variety of other animals, and have interacted with them in different ways. This variety of interactions (both past and present) is investigated through ethnozoology, which is a hybrid discipline structured with elements from both the natural and social sciences, as it seeks to understand how humans have perceived and interacted with faunal resources throughout history. In a broader context, ethnozoology, and its companion discipline, ...
DE VOLTA AO JOGO - VOO 998 é a continuação do dinâmico e eletrizante livro OS SETE ESCOLHIDOS - VOO 818 de Carlos Di Vienna. Muito mais enigmático e misterioso, nos mostra uma história repleta de enigmas onde o investigador Messias Ebras continua correndo contra o tempo para salvar os cinco novos escolhidos. Diante da repercussão do caso do Voo 818, o vilão que responde pelo codinome “Raposa” faz a Will uma proposta irrecusável: executar seu plano de vingança em troca da liberdade e um milhão de dólares. Mesmo sabendo que desta vez não estaria no comando, aceita. Messias e Sarah Ebras estão separados há um ano e em visita a família, antes de entrar, recebe no portão uma caixa de papelão. Logo percebem que se trata de um enigma de Will, e a história começa a se repetir. O avião decola com 124 passageiros, entre eles Daniel Ebras e família. Durante o voo, um é assassinado. Will diz que cinco serão escolhidos e sofrerão um atentado no qual levarão consigo várias pessoas. O jogo de vida ou morte é retomado. Com dinamismo, Carlos Di Vienna nos apresenta uma história tão impressionante e agitada quanto OS SETE ESCOLHIDOS.
Cultural heritage is material – tangible and intangible – that signifies a culture’s history or legacy. It has become a venue for contestation, ranging in scale from protesting to violently claimed and destroyed. But who defines what is to be preserved and what is to be erased? As cultural heritage becomes increasingly significant across the world, the number of issues for critical analysis and, hopefully, mediation, arise. The issue stems from various groups: religious, ethnic, national, political, and others come together to claim, appropriate, use, exclude, or erase markers and manifestations of their own and others’ cultural heritage as a means for asserting, defending, or denying critical claims to power, land, and legitimacy. Can cultural heritage be well managed and promoted while at the same time kept within parameters so as to diminish contestation? The cases herein rage from Greece, Spain, Egypt, the UK, Syria, Zimbabwe, Italy, the Balkans, Bénin, and Central America.
Do aparente caos que caracteriza a epopeia terrestre — cuja civilização cambaleia, errante —, emerge a ordem que encadeia os fenômenos sob a autoridade do governador solar, Jesus. Desde os primórdios, a Terra foi programada como um educandário que visa à redenção de diferentes raças espirituais, mas que guardam em comum o traço da rebeldia, quando não da maldade. Com esse projeto, levado a cabo pela mais excelsa inteligência de que temos notícia, o planeta não poderia deixar de ser um caldeirão fervente de interesses conflitantes, contradições e disputas atrozes. Em meio às quedas de braço entre facções rivais e ideologias escravizantes, sintetizadas na figura bíbli...
