A Companion to the Early Modern Cardinal is the first comprehensive overview of its subject in English or any language. Cardinals are best known as the pope's electors, but in the centuries from 1400 to 1800 they were so much more: pastors, inquisitors, diplomats, bureaucrats, statesmen, saints; entrepreneurs and investors; patrons of the arts, of music, literature, and science. Thirty-five essays explain their social background, positions and roles in Rome and beyond, and what they meant for wider society. This volume shows the impact which those men who took up the purple had in their respective fields and how their tenure of office shaped the entangled histories of Rome and the Catholic Church from a European and global perspective.
Irina "Ira" Jeffries and her roommate, Fernanda Lopez, turn heads, even in a paradise like Miami's South Beach where beauty is the rule, not the exception. Ira lands local modeling gigs while working at an ultra-hip art deco hotel. Fernanda's classic Hispanic looks catapult her to the top of the local pageant scene. Both women take a mind-blowing ride into the cutthroat and competitive fashion and pageant worlds filled with seductive men, thousand dollar champagne toasts, Botox parties, spiked drinks, and the most incredible cities. Ira must choose between the frenetic pace of the fashion runways or the man she loves, sexy Spaniard and aspiring shoe designer, Pablo Andrews. Fernanda's quest for being the best and nabbing the crown of Miss United States drives her into the arms of local celebrity and former trash-talking Miami Tarpon football player, Thomas Traylor. Each woman eventually has to make the biggest decision of her life about who she really wants to be. The options leave them both Head Over High Heels.
Hat die Psychoanalyse neue Entwicklungen verschlafen? Hilft queer(es) Denken, die Psychoanalyse wachzurutteln? Griffin Hansburys Arbeit Das maskuline Vaginale und seine Verkorperung bei queeren Mannern an der Grenze zu Transgender provoziert sowohl behandlungstechnisch wie auch klinisch-theoretisch. Begegnet er seinem Patienten unvoreingenommen frisch in den Sitzungen oder missachtet er Grenzen? Gelingt ihm ein neuer Blick auf psychogenetische und theoretische Dimensionen oder folgt er auf Kosten des Patienten einer uberwertigen Idee? Das Beiheft des Jahrbuchs der Psychoanalyse hat Dana Amir, Leticia Glocer Fiorini, Howard Levine, Franco De Masi und Bernd Nissen um Kommentare gefragt, die sich pointiert mit Hansburys Arbeit auseinandersetzen.
In this landmark, critically acclaimed book, eminent historian and award-winning author Tom Griffiths explores the craft of history.
Through portraits of fourteen historians, including Inga Clendinnen, Judith Wright, Geoffrey Blainey and Henry Reynolds, he traces how a body of work is formed out of a life-long dialogue between past evidence and present experience. With meticulous research and glowing prose, he shows how our understanding of the past has evolved, and what this changing history reveals about us. Passionate and elegant, The Art of Time Travel conjures fresh insights into the history of Australia and renews our sense of the historian's craft.
Christmas at Henry and Mudge's house means cookies and carols and presents, and the whole family gathering for a delicious breakfast (with lots of food falling on the floor for Mudge). It may just be the best Christmas ever -- but Henry's favorite present is the big, lovable dog he's had all along.
Markso ĉi tie analizas la evoluon de la situacio en Francujo, kiu ebligis al Luizo Bonaparto, persono kun sufiĉe dubinda karaktero, fariĝi imperiestro de la francoj. Engelso skribis pri tiu ĉi verko:
"Kaj efektive ĝi estis genia laboraĵo. Tuj post la evento, kiu surprizis la tutan politikan mondon kvazaŭ fulmo el serena ĉielo, kiun iuj kun laŭta kriego de morala indigno kondamnis, aliaj akceptis kiel savon el la revolucio kaj kiel punon pro ties devojiĝoj, sed kiun ĉiuj nur mire rigardis kaj neniu komprenis - tuj post tiu evento Markso elpaŝis per mallonga, epigrama prezento, kiu prezentis la tutan iradon de la franca historio ekde la februaraj tagoj en ĝia interna interrilato, solvis la miraklon de la dua de decembro1 en naturan, necesan rezulton de tiu inter-rila-to, kaj ĉe tio eĉ ne bezonis pritrakti la heroon de la ŝtatrenverso alie ol per la bone meritita malestimo. Kaj la bildo estis deseg-ni-ta de tia majstra mano, ke ĉiu nova, intertempe okazinta malkaŝo liveris nur novajn pruvojn por tio, kiom fidele ĝi respegulas la realon. Tiu eminenta kompreno de la vivanta taga historio, tiu klara travido de la okazaĵoj, en la momento, en kiu ili okazas, estas efektive senprecedenca."
1La 2-a de decembro 1851 okazis en Francujo la kontraŭrevolucia ŝtatren-verso de Luizo Bonaparto kaj de liaj adeptoj. - vl

Where Have All the Bullets Gone? is volume five of Spike Milligan's outrageous, hilarious, legendary War Memoirs.
'Back to those haunting days in Italy in 1944, at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, with lava running in great red rivulets down the slope towards us, and Jock taking a drag on his cigarette and saying, "I think we've got grounds for a rent rebate."'
The fifth volume of Spike Milligan's unsurpassed account of life as a Bombardier in World War Two sees our hero dispatched from the front line to psychiatric hospital and from there to a rehabilitation camp. Considered loony (and 'unfit to be killed in combat by either side'), he becomes embroiled in his own private battle with melancholy. But it is music, wit and a little help from his friends - including one Gunner Harry Secombe - that help carry him through to his first stage appearances ...
'Desperately funny, vivid, vulgar' Sunday Times
'Milligan is the Great God to all of us' John Cleese
'The Godfather of Alternative Comedy' Eddie Izzard
'That absolutely glorious way of looking at things differently. A great man' Stephen Fry
Spike Milligan was one of the greatest and most influential comedians of the twentieth century. Born in India in 1918, he served in the Royal Artillery during WWII in North Africa and Italy. At the end of the war, he forged a career as a jazz musician, sketch-show writer and performer, before joining forces with Peter Sellers and Harry Secombe to form the legendary Goon Show. Until his death in 2002, he had success as on stage and screen and as the author of over eighty books of fiction, memoir, poetry, plays, cartoons and children's stories.
In 1961, Alexandra Wiwcharuk was found murdered on the banks of the Saskatchewan River. As Sharon Butala writes, all of Saskatoon "came to a stop," stunned by the brutal death of an attractive young woman who was a graduate nurse and had been crowned a beauty queen in local pageants. The murder became a touchstone moment for Saskatoon. More than 40 years later, it still haunts the residents, especially those who, like Butala, were Alexandra's friends.
Compelled by her memories of Alex and her time, Butala returns to that still-unsolved murder. InThe Girl in Saskatoona title taken from a song that Johnny Cash sang to Alex at a concert only months before her deathshe faces the horror of those past events to create a portrait of friendship and remembrance, of a time when life appeared so much simpler. Written in Butala's intimate, eloquent style, The Girl in Saskatoonis at once an in-depth investigation of a tragic death, a nostalgic coming-of-age story and an exploration of the nature of good and evil.

Presents a wonderful retelling for younger readers, by the Novel Prize-winning Spanish author, of a wandering poet and his faithful donkey as they encounter the beauty and tragedy of life in the small Andalusian village of Moguer in southern Spain.
Askildsen posee un estilo literario caracterizado por la contención, la brevedad y la concisión formal. Artista del narrar que ha creado un estilo indeleble. Puede narrarlo todo y de la mejor manera con personajes sin rostro ni más rasgos físicos que el detalle indispensable, con nombres que se olvidan de inmediato, sin tonos de voz; representando diálogos minimalistas y muy a menudo sin saltos de párrafo ni comillas; con emociones transmitidas por una palabra o por un impulso a actuar, con climas y estaciones indicadas apenas por la luz o por ínfimas señales del cuerpo o del espacio natural; con tragedias resumidas por la simple evocación de una imagen visual y un clímax erótico logrados por el leve desplazamiento de una mano.

What would it mean to become supernatural? What if you could tune in to frequencies beyond our material world... change your brain chemistry to access transcendent levels of awareness... create a new future... and transform your very biology to enable profound healing?
This is what Dr. Joe Dispenza offers in this revolutionary book: a body of knowledge and a set of tools that allow ordinary people-people just like you-to reach extraordinary states of being.
Dr. Joe, author of the New York Times bestseller You Are the Placebo as well as Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself and Evolve Your Brain, draws on up-to-the-minute research in neuroscience, epigenetics, and quantum physics to show how this kind of transformation takes place and what it can mean for our lives.
In these pages, you'll explore:
- How to free yourself from the past by reconditioning your body to a new mind - How changing your frequency allows you to create reality in the "generous present moment" - The secret science of the pineal gland and its role in accessing mystical realms of reality - How to shift your awareness beyond the limited, predictable material world and move into the quantum field of infinite possibilities - And much more
Using tools and practices ranging from state-of-the-art brain imaging to exercises such as a walking meditation, Dr. Joe offers nothing less than a program for stepping outside our physical reality and into a new world. "This is who we really are," he writes, "and this is the future I'm creating-one in which each and every one of us becomes supernatural."

Easy Exercises is about sneaking some exercise into your everyday routine for seemingly effortless exercise.
The book is for people who make New Year's resolutions to start jogging or to get fit quick - and then quit. It is also for people who think they have no time in their day to exercise. Some of the tricks are so easy - you may ask yourself, "Hey, why didn't I think of that?"
A number of the techniques could be classified as "extreme," but not in the ordinary sense. Who in their right mind would park their car somewhere specifically to walk home for exercise? Or try to do two things at once - that's not possible is it? What about taking some time off to exercise? Can you disguise exercise so it is not apparent you are exercising? Or distract yourself to the point that you don't notice that you're exercising? And what about people who are not allowed to exercise? Is there one particular stretch that would give your fitness program a boost to the point that you are no longer too injured to exercise? Have you ever heard of a "dieting" method that will conform to any other diet?
This is the 4th edition of the book. Please feel free to have fun with it.

This book, first published in 1996, introduces students to optimization theory and its use in economics and allied disciplines. The first of its three parts examines the existence of solutions to optimization problems in Rn, and how these solutions may be identified. The second part explores how solutions to optimization problems change with changes in the underlying parameters, and the last part provides an extensive description of the fundamental principles of finite- and infinite-horizon dynamic programming. Each chapter contains a number of detailed examples explaining both the theory and its applications for first-year master's and graduate students. 'Cookbook' procedures are accompanied by a discussion of when such methods are guaranteed to be successful, and, equally importantly, when they could fail. Each result in the main body of the text is also accompanied by a complete proof. A preliminary chapter and three appendices are designed to keep the book mathematically self-contained.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
