    Book : This Sovereign Isle Britain In And Out Of Europe -...

    -Titulo Original : This Sovereign Isle Britain In And Out Of Europe-Fabricante : Penguin-Descripcion Original: A leading pro-Brexit intellectual examines the historical context of the referendum vote, engaging with the arguments and fears of both sides Geography comes before history. Islands cannot have the same history as continental plains. The United Kingdom is a European country, but not the same kind of European country as Germany, Poland or Hungary. For most of the 150 centuries during which Britain has been inhabited it has been on the edge, culturally and literally, of mainland Europe. In this succinct book, Tombs shows that the decision to leave the EU is historically explicable - though not made historically inevitable - by Britains very different historical experience, especially in the twentieth century, and because of their more extensive and deeper ties outside Europe. He challenges the orthodox view that Brexit was due solely to British or English exceptionalism: in choosing to leave the EU, the British, he argues, were in many ways voting as typical Europeans. About the Author Robert Tombs is Emeritus Professor of French History at Cambridge, and a Fellow of St Johns College. Most of his writing and teaching has been on French and European history and on Franco-British relations, for which he was awarded the Palmes Academiques by the French government. Since his foray into English history, with the publication of The English and Their History in 2014, he has become a frequent commentator on contemporary issues, and is co-editor of the pro-Brexit academic website Briefings for Britain...

    Book : The Women Of Troy - Barker Pat

    -Titulo Original : The Women Of Troy-Fabricante : PENGUIN-Descripcion Original: What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.Our understanding of God impacts not merely our theology, but also the way in which we practice ethics and morality - our entire lives are based on the way we answer the core question: Who is God? Thus, it is paramount that we have a true and accurate understanding of God. American pastor, author, and spiritual mentor, A. W. Tozer (1897-1963) believed that the vast majority of modern Christians have unwittingly adopted a low view of God, simultaneously gutting the Gospel of its true power, disfiguring our worship, and barring access to true spiritual power. The solution? Recapturing a true understanding of the magnitude of Gods glory.In Knowledge of the Holy, Tozer offers real hope for Christians whose worship has become uninspired and lifeless, whose prayers feel like a monologue, and who feel devoid of spiritual power.Written in the accessible language of worship, this timeless classic will open readers eyes to Gods...Relentless faithfulnessVast goodnessFierce justiceTransformative mercyMeasureless loveTriumphant holinessand moreAt its very core, the sin of idolatry is a wrong belief about who God is and what He is like.

She had spent decades as one of the most successful entertainers in the world, but, she told the crowd, I was a devil in other countries, and I was a little devil in America, too. Inspired by these words, Hanif Abdurraqib has written a stirring meditation on Black performance in the modern age, in which culture, history and his own lived experience collide.With sharp insight, humour and heart, Abdurraqib explores a sequence of iconic and intimate performances that take him from mid-century Paris to the moon -- and back down again, to a cramped living room in Columbus, Ohio. Each one, he shows, has layers of resonance across Black and white cultures, the politics of American empire, and his own personal history of love and grief -- whether its the twenty-seven seconds of Gimme Shelter in which Merry Clayton sings, or the magnificent hours of Aretha Franklins homegoing; Beyonces Super Bowl show or a schoolyard fistfight; Dave Chapelles skits or a game of spades among friends...

    Book : The Enlightenment The Pursuit Of Happiness 1680-1790.

    -Titulo Original : The Enlightenment The Pursuit Of Happiness 1680-1790-Fabricante : Penguin-Descripcion Original: The best single-volume study of the Enlightenment that we have Literary ReviewThe Enlightenment is one of the formative periods of Western history, yet more than 300 years after it began, it remains controversial. It is often seen as the fountainhead of modern values such as human rights, religious toleration, freedom of thought, scientific thought as an exemplary form of reasoning, and rationality and evidence-based argument. Others accuse the Enlightenment of putting forward a scientific rationality which ignores the complexity and variety of human beings, propagates shallow atheism, and aims to subjugate nature to so-called technical progress.Answering the question what is Enlightenment? Kant famously urged men and women above all to have the courage to use your own understanding. Robertson shows how the thinkers of the Enlightenment did just that, seeking a rounded understanding of humanity in which reason was balanced with emotion and sensibility. His book goes behind the controversies about the Enlightenment to return to its original texts and to show that above all it sought to increase human happiness in this world by promoting scientific inquiry and reasoned argument. His book overturns many received opinions - for example, that enlightenment necessarily implied hostility to religion (though it did challenge the authority traditionally assumed by the Churches). It is a master-class in big picture history, about one of the foundational epochs of modern times...

Or perhaps its the other way round...? This Charming Man is the hugely entertaining second novel in the Stranger Times series. Vampires do not exist. Everyone knows this. So its particularly annoying when they start popping up around Manchester . . . Nobody is pleased about it. Not the Founders, the secret organization for whom vampires were invented as an allegory, nor the Folk, the magical people hidden in plain sight who only want a quiet life. And definitely not the people of Manchester, because there is nothing more irksome than being murdered by an allegory run amok. Somebody needs to sort this out fast before all Hell really breaks loose - step forward the staff of The Stranger Times. Its not like they dont have enough to be dealing with. Assistant Editor Hannah has come back from getting messily divorced to discover that someone is trying to kidnap a member of their staff and while editor Vincent Banecroft would be delighted to see the back of any of his team, he doesnt like people touching his stuff - its the principle of the thing. Throw in a precarious plumbing situation, gambling debts, an entirely new way of swearing, and a certain detective inspector with what could be kindly referred to as a lot of baggage and it all adds up to another hectic week in the life of the newspaper committed to reporting the truth that nobody else will touch.This Charming Man is the second book in the critically acclaimed The Stranger Times series.

    -Titulo Original : A New Earth Awakening To Your Lifes Purpose (oprahs Book Club, Selection 61)-Fabricante : Penguin-Descripcion Original: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “A wake-up call for the entire planet . . . [A New Earth] helps us to stop creating our own suffering and obsessing over the past and what the future might be, and to put ourselves in the now.” -Oprah Winfrey With his bestselling spiritual guide The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle inspired millions of readers to discover the freedom and joy of a life lived “in the now.” In A New Earth, Tolle expands on these powerful ideas to show how transcending our ego-based state of consciousness is not only essential to personal happiness, but also the key to ending conflict and suffering throughout the world. Tolle describes how our attachment to the ego creates the dysfunction that leads to anger, jealousy, and unhappiness, and shows readers how to awaken to a new state of consciousness and follow the path to a truly fulfilling existence. Illuminating, enlightening, and uplifting, A New Earth is a profoundly spiritual manifesto for a better way of life-and for building a better world. Review Praise for Eckhart Tolle and his work [Oprah] Winfrey calls the book a wake-up call for the entire planet, one reader at a time. It helps us to distance ourselves from our egos . . . and to open ourselves to a higher self. . . . It helps us to stop creating our own suffering and obsessing over the past and what the future might be, and to put ourselves in the now. -USA Today I would do anything to be anywhere in the vicinity of Eckhart Tolle. -Jim Carrey A gentle journey, one that could take you to a spectacular and very special place of new awareness and deeper understanding. -Neale Donald Walsh, author of Conversations with God One of the best books to come along in years. Every sentence rings with truth and power-the power to bring you into the gap, the space between our thoughts, where we find, as Eckhart so beautifully puts it, deep serenity, stillness, and a sacred Presence. -Deepak Chopra, author of The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success About the Author Eckhart Tolle is widely recognized as one of the most inspiring and visionary spiritual teachers in the world today. With his international bestsellers, The Power of Now and A New Earth-translated into 52 languages-he has introduced millions to the joy and freedom of living life in the present moment. His teachings focus on the significance and power of Presence, the awakened state of consciousness, which transcends ego and discursive thinking. Eckhart sees this awakening as the essential next step in human evolution. The New York Times has described him as “the most popular spiritual author in the United States”, and in 2011, Watkins Review named him “the most spiritually influential person in the world”. Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. The Flowering of Human Consciousness Evocation Earth, 114 million years ago, one morning just after sunrise: The first flower ever to appear on the planet opens up to receive the rays of the sun. Prior to this momentous event that heralds an evolutionary transformation in the life of plants, the planet had already been covered in vegetation for millions of years. The first flower probably did not survive for long, and flowers must have remained rare and isolated phenomena, since conditions were most likely not yet favorable for a widespread flowering to occur. One day, however, a critical threshold was reached, and suddenly there would have been an explosion of color and scent all over the planet-if a perceiving consciousness had been there to witness it. Much later those delicate and fragrant beings we call flowers would come to play an essential part in the evolution of consciousness of another species. Humans would increasingly be drawn to and fascinated by them. As the consciousness of human beings developed, flowers were most likely the first thing they came to value that had no utilitarian purpose for them, that is to say, was not linked in some way to surviva...

    Book : Peace Of Wild Things - Berry, Wendell

    -Titulo Original : Peace Of Wild Things-Fabricante : Penguin-Descripcion Original: I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free. The poems of Wendell Berry invite us to stop, to think, to see the world around us, and to savour what is good. Here are consoling verses of hope and of healing; short, simple meditations on love, death, friendship, memory and belonging; luminous hymns to the land, the cycles of nature and the seasons as they ebb and flow.
