Ten Boomovci boli obyčajná holandská rodina. V máji 1942 ich požiadala o pomoc jedna židovská rodina, aby ich ukryli pred Gestapom. Otec Casper tenBoom súhlasil. Odvtedy v tajnej skrýši v ich dome zachránili mnoho ďalších židov a účastníkov odboja. Vo februári 1944 ich niekto udal. Gestapo uväznilo celú rodinu. Otec Casper zomrel vo väzení a dcéra Betsie v koncentračnom tábore. Corrie sa na základe omylu dostala na slobodu tesne pred skončením vojny. Betsie svojej sestre pred smrťou povedala: „Niet takej hlbokej jamy, aby Božia láska nebola ešte hlbšie.“ Corrie po vojne popísala ich „obyčajný“ príbeh v knihe Útočište. Corrie zomrela v Spojených štátoch vo veku 91 rokov v deň svojich narodenín. Podľa židovskej tradície majú len veľmi požehnaní ľudia privilégium zomrieť v deň svojich narodenín...

Why do we feel like we are always performing? Where does this impulse come from?As John Starke shows in The Secret Place of Thunder, our modern world has internalized the idea that the markers of having an admirable and successful life are primarily visible. It leads us to believe that a sense of self-worth and identity are metrics to be displayed. The performance of the self has become more important than the reality. We live as if the most important things about us are to be performed before others; that our deepest happiness will come from being who others think we ought to be.But when Jesus says, "Do not practice your righteousness before others," he is leading us to believe that the most important things about us are hidden. How does the Bible lead us to live primarily before God? How does Jesus lead us to wholeness?Jesus teaches us to live, not for the eyes of others or even for ourselves, but in the secret place where our Father in heaven sees and rewards.

The Masculinites of John Milton is the first published monograph on Milton''s men. Examining how Milton''s fantasies of manly authority are framed in his major works, this study exposes the gaps between Milton''s pleas for liberty and his assumptions that White men like himself should rule his culture. From schoolboys teaching each other how to traffic in young women in the Ludlow Masque, to his treatises on divorce that make the wife-less husband the best possible citizen, and to the later epics, in which Milton wrestles with male small talk and the ladders of masculine social power, his verse and prose draw from and amplify his culture''s claims about manliness in education, warfare, friendship, citizenship, and conversation. This revolutionary poet''s most famous writings reveal how ambivalently manhood is constructed to serve itself in early modern England.

This book explores a new approach to understanding the evolution of mind and consciousness by examining the perceptual abilities of animals and the way they experience their world. It offers a science-based bottom-up approach to our own conscious worldview by seeing it through the eyes of others. Emphasis is on the role of context in evolution and the way animals internalize and engage with the contextual properties of their world that are meaningful for them. The core argument is that a context, which is subjective and based of the perceptual capacities, offers new insights into the evolution of mind. Rather than seeing biological evolution in terms of the emergence of mindless forms and cultural evolution as the emergence of disembodied minds, the book seeks to integrate these two perspectives through the rigorous mapping of contexts. Key Features· reveals an understanding animal minds· formulates a hypothesis for the evolution of consciousness· includes a discussion of the origin of technological innovation· provides a rationale for the ecology of mind· proposes a theory of the evolution of language· outlines the science of experience and how it influences choice· explains the role of context and choice with respect especially to human ecology

“Riveting…an electrifying true crime story of the Mafia-smitten eighties and nineties. Suspenseful and multifaceted, The Gotti Wars can’t be missed.” —Esquire, The Best Nonfiction Books of the YearA “meticulous chronicle of good triumphing over evil” (The Washington Post) from the determined young prosecutor who, in two of America’s most celebrated trials, managed to convict famed mob boss John Gotti—and ultimately took down the Mafia altogether. John Gotti was without a doubt the flashiest and most feared Mafioso in American history. He became the boss of the Gambino Crime Family in spectacular fashion—with the brazen and very public murder of Paul Castellano in front of Sparks Steakhouse in midtown Manhattan in 1985. Not one to stay below law enforcement’s radar, Gotti instead became the first celebrity crime boss. His penchant for eye-catching apparel earned him the nickname “The Dapper Don;” his ability to beat criminal charges led to another: “The Teflon Don.” This is the captivating story of Gotti’s meteoric rise to power and his equally dramatic downfall. Every step of the way, Gotti’s legal adversary—John Gleeson, an Assistant US Attorney in Brooklyn—was watching. When Gotti finally faced two federal racketeering prosecutions, Gleeson prosecuted both. As the junior lawyer in the ... Unknown localization key: "more"

"In me, there is the red of miry clay, the brown of spring floods, the gold of ripening tobacco. All of these hues are me; I am, in the deepest sense, colored.” From these fertile soils of love, land, identity, family, and race emerges The Home Place, a big-hearted, unforgettable memoir by ornithologist and professor of ecology J. Drew Lanham.Dating back to slavery, Edgefield County, South Carolina—a place "easy to pass by on the way somewhere else"—has been home to generations of Lanhams. In The Home Place, readers meet these extraordinary people, including Drew himself, who over the course of the 1970s falls in love with the natural world around him. As his passion takes flight, however, he begins to ask what it means to be "the rare bird, the oddity.”By turns angry, funny, elegiac, and heartbreaking, The Home Place is a remarkable meditation on nature and belonging, at once a deeply moving memoir and riveting exploration of the contradictions of black identity in the rural South—and in America today.
