Monster Verse : Poems Human and Inhuman (0375712402)

Monster Verse: Poems Human and Inhuman brings to life a colorful menagerie of fantastical creatures from across the ages. Humans have always defined themselves by imagining the inhuman; the gloriously gruesome monsters that enliven our literary legacy haunt us by reflecting our own darkest possibilities. The poems gathered here range in focus from extreme examples of human monstrousness--murderers, cannibals, despotic Byzantine empresses--to the creatures of myth and nightmare: dragons, sea serpents, mermaids, gorgons, sirens, witches, and all sorts of winged, fanged, and fire-breathing grotesques. The ghastly parade includes Beowulf's Grendel, Homer's Circe, William Morris's Fafnir, Lewis Carroll's Jabberwock, Robert Lowell's man-eating mermaid, Oriana Ivy's Baba Yaga, Thom Gunn's take on Jeffrey Dahmer, and Shakespeare's hybrid creature Caliban, of whom Prospero famously concedes, "This thing of darkness I acknowledge mine." Monster Ve...

Cuando muere el dinero : el derrumbamiento de la República de Weimar (9788420673851)

La República de Weimar fue escenario, durante la década de 1920, de la mayor inflación que registra la historia europea contemporánea. A lo largo de cuatro años, los precios subieron de forma tan vertiginosa que hicieron necesaria la enfebrecida fabricación de papel-moneda y la multiplicación casi inverosímil de los medios de pago. En 1923, cuando el tipo de cambio con el dólar alcanzaba los 4.200.000.000.000 marcos, la República de Weimar prácticamente se vio reducida a una economía de intercambio: joyas por productos básicos como el pan, una entrada para el cine por algo de carbón, una botella de parafina por una falda de seda. Combinando el análisis con numerosos testimonios de la época, Adam Fergusson narra el fracaso de una generación europea -incapaz de comprender el alcance de sus actos y las consecuencias de la destrucción de las clases medias- y el irresistible ascenso al poder de los regímenes autoritarios. Un libro lleno de relevancia para nuestra época. ...

Todos os Homens do Kremlin. Os Bastidores do Poder na Rússia de Vladimir Putin (9788582864173)

Todos os homens do Kremlin conta a envolvente história de um "rei" que assumiu o poder por acaso e de um séquito sem controle. Tendo como base uma série de entrevistas inéditas com membros do círculo de Vladimir Putin, este livro apresenta uma visão totalmente inédita dos bastidores da política na Rússia. A imagem de Putin como um homem forte é questionada. No lugar dela parece surgir um tedioso líder simbólico, fustigado – e até mesmo controlado – pelos homens que o aconselham e o enganam ao mesmo tempo. Mas essa é uma via de mão dupla, e se Putin vem se mantendo à frente da Rússia por quase três décadas, não é por acaso. Os governadores regionais e os líderes burocráticos são peças fixas, com muito mais poder em suas zonas de influência do que o próprio presidente. Também o são os guardiões que protegem o caminho até o poder, dos quais Putin depende tanto quanto eles contam com Putin. Esse equilíbrio frágil é repleto de intrigas e conspirações típicas da corte dos Médici, c...

The Field : The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (9780061435188)

"A big, bold, brilliantly crafted page-turner with HUGE ideas that challenge every last view about how the world works. This is both a primer to understand the law of attraction and the essential book of our age." -- Jack Canfield, author of The Success Principles(TM) and featured teacher on The Secret(TM)"One of the most powerful and enlightening books I have ever read. A magnificent job of presenting the hard evidence for what spiritual masters have been telling us for centuries." -- Wayne W. Dyer During the past few years science and medicine have been converging with common sense, confirming a widespread belief that everything--especially the mind and the body--is far more connected than traditional physics ever allowed. The Field establishes a new biological paradigm: it proves that our body extends electromagnetically beyond ourselves and our physical body. It is within this field that we can find a remarkable new way of looking at health, sickness, memory, wi...

Martin Buber's "I and Thou" : Practicing Living Dialogue (9780809141586)

Martin Buber's classic philosophy of dialogue, I and Thou, is at the core of Kenneth Paul Kramer's scholarly and impressive Living Dialogue: Practicing Buber's I and Thou. In three main parts, paralleling the three of I and Thou, and focusing upon Buber's key concepts --"nature," "spirit becoming forms, " "true community," the "real I," the "eternal Thou," "turning,"-and the two fundamental dialogues-the "I-Thou" and the "I-It"- the book clarifies, puts into practice and vigorously affirms the moral validity of Buber's philosophy, with its extension to love, marriage, the family, the community, and God, in the conviction that "genuine dialogue" will effect better relations with one another, the world and God. Well-researched, and replete with a glossary of Buberian terms, practice exercises for true dialoguing, and discussion questions, Living Dialogue emerges as an invalua...

The Dropout Prevention Specialist Workbook : A How-To Guide for Building the Skills and Competencies for Addressing the School Dropout Crisis (9780190090845)

Despite policy efforts at the state and federal levels, the school dropout rate for students in the United States is estimated at a staggering 500,000-to-1,000,000 children and youth per year. And while school social workers and other professionals working with truancy and school dropout issues are well positioned to offer assistance as Dropout Prevention Specialists (DPSs), an overwhelming number of those who fill such roles go vastly undertrained and underprepared for the demands they face.
