Chodenie je nádherné obdobie v živote dvoch ľudí. Táto kniha sa prakticky venuje mnohým otázkam, ktoré sa môžu objaviť aj pri vašom spoločnom spoznávaní sa.Nájsť spoľahlivého a oddaného celoživotného partnera je skutočne ťažké – najmä preto, lebo ľudia spolu chodia spôsobom, ktorý im nepomáha v rozhodovaní sa k záväzku či k odchodu zo vzťahu. Veľmi často potom zažijú bolesť a utŕžia mnohé zranenia. Čas chodenia však tiež môže priniesť do života dospievajúceho človeka veľa dobrých vecí – okrem iného mu môže pomôcť pri jeho osobnom vývoji a dozrievaní.Cieľom tejto knihy je pomôcť vám odhaliť tajomstvo úspešného chodenia a vyhnúť sa tak možným nástrahám vo vzťahoch. Dr. Henry Cloud a Dr. John Townsend sú klinickí psychológovia, konzultanti, prednášatelia a autori mnohých populárnych kníh. Okrem spolupráce v psychologickom centre na klinike Minirth-Meier v Newport Beach v Kalifornii založili spolu poradenské centrum Cloud-Townsend Clinic and Resources. V slovenčine im vyšli knihy Hranice, Hranice v manželstve, Hranice a deti.

Jedným z najskľučujúcejších javov dnešnej doby sú smrtiace útoky v mene islamu, ku ktorým pravidelne dochádza. Takmer rovnako skľučujúce sú neustále uistenia západných politických lídrov a médií, že tieto násilnosti nemajú „nič do činenia s islamom“. K týmto uisteniam patria výrazy ako radikálny islam, islamizmus, militantný islam, „takzvaný“ Islamský štát (ISIS) a džihádisti, čo navodzuje dojem, akoby ľudia páchajúci násilie v mene islamu nejakým spôsobom prekrúcali mierumilovné učenie moslimského náboženstva. No pochybnosti zostávajú. Ak je islam skutočne „náboženstvom mieru“, prečo k týmto útokom naďalej dochádza? Prečo väčšinu teroristických útokov páchajú ľudia vyznávajúci učenie Koránu? Peter Townsend vo svojej knihe skúma dôkazy o možnej súvislosti medzi islamom a násilím. Robí tak prostredníctvom dôkladnej analýzy základných textov islamu (najmä Koránu a tradícií), no analyzuje aj obvyklé námietky, ktoré zaznievajú vždy, keď niekto naznačuje súvislosť medzi islamom a násilím. Otázka, či islam podnecuje k násiliu, môže byť jednou z najdôležitejších otázok, akým naša civilizácia kedy čelila. Zaslúži si viac pozornosti a podrobnejšiu analýzu než len pár ľahkovážnych slov. V predkladanej knihe máte príležitosť preskúmať túto otázku zo všetkých uhlov a vyvodiť vlastné závery. Toto slovenské vydanie jeho knihy je špecificky ručne vyrobené v obmedzenej edícii.

The essential guide to the world of Aztec mythology, based on Nahuatl-language sources that challenge the colonial history passed down to us by the Spanish. How did the jaguar get his spots? What happened to the four suns that came before our own? Where was Aztlan, mythical homeland of the Aztecs? For decades, the popular image of the Mexica people - better known today as the Aztecs - has been defined by the Spaniards who conquered them. Their salacious stories of pet snakes, human sacrifice and towering skull racks have masked a complex world of religious belief. To reveal the rich mythic tapestry of the Aztecs, Camilla Townsend returns to the original tales, told at the fireside by generations of Indigenous Nahuatl-speakers. Through their voices we learn the contested histories of the Mexica and their neighbours in the Valley of Mexico - the foundations of great cities, the making and breaking of political alliances, the meddling of sometimes bloodthirsty gods - and understand more clearly how they saw their world and their place in it. The divine principle of Ipalnemoani connected humans with all of nature and spiritual beliefs were woven through the fabric of Aztec life, from the sacred ... Unknown localization key: "more"

In November 1519, Hernando Cortés walked along a causeway leading to the capital of the Aztec kingdom and came face to face with Moctezuma. That story--and the story of what happened afterwards--has been told many times, but always following the narrative offered by the Spaniards. After all, we have been taught, it was the Europeans who held the pens. But the Native Americans were intrigued by the Roman alphabet and, unbeknownst to the newcomers, they used it to write detailed histories in their own language of Nahuatl. Until recently, these sources remained obscure, only partially translated, and rarely consulted by scholars. For the first time, in Fifth Sun, the history of the Aztecs is offered in all its complexity based solely on the texts written by the indigenous people themselves. Camilla Townsend presents an accessible and humanized depiction of these native Mexicans, rather than seeing them as the exotic, bloody figures of European stereotypes. The conquest, in this work, is neither an apocalyptic moment, nor an origin story launching Mexicans into existence. The Mexica people had a history of their own long before the Europeans arrived and did not simply capitulate to Spanish culture and colonization. Instead, they realigned their ...
