Belief
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Vattimo, Gianni / D'Isanto, Luca / Webb, David, PUBLISHER: Stanford University Press, In this highly personal book, one of Europe's foremost contemporary philosophers confronts the theme of faith and religion. He argues that there is a substantial link between the history of Christian revelation and the history of nihilism, in particular as the latter appears in the work of Nietzsche and Heidegger, Vattimo's philosophical specialty. Tracing the relation between his response to these two thinkers and his own life as a devout Catholic, Vattimo shows how his interpretation of Heidegger's work and his conceptions of "weak thought" and "weak ontology" can be seen as closely linked to a rediscovery of Christianity. Vattimo speaks here in the first person--a risk that results in a disarmingly open exploration of the themes of charity, truth, dogmatism, morality, and sin, viewed through the lens of his own life and his own return to Christianity. While deeply critical of institutionalized religion and the Church, Vattimo discovers in the Christian tradition a voice (not a distinct message) whose interpretation is still being played out around us. Shaped by his readings of Nietzsche and Heidegger, Vattimo's decision to affirm his formation within the Christian tradition provides an original and engaging contribution to the contemporary debate on religion. At the center of this book is the enigma of belief. Freed by modernity from its Platonic subordination to knowledge, belief is recovered as a crucial and inevitable feature of our cultural and personal lives. "Do you believe?" Vattimo is asked. "I believe so," he replies. Acquista Ora
Suburb of Dissent - PB
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Irr, Caren / Caren Irr / Irr, PUBLISHER: Duke University Press, In "The Suburb of Dissent "Caren Irr explores the leftist literary subculture of the United States and Canada during the s to reconstruct the ideas of mass culture, class, and nationality that emerged as a result of the Great Depression. Unearthing plots and characters that still surface in contemporary narratives, Irr juxtaposes classic and neglected works of criticism, fiction, poetry, and journalism and demonstrates how leftist writers resisted totalitarianism much more thoroughly than Cold War accounts would suggest. Irr highlights works by Richard Wright, John Dos Passos, Nathanael West, and others to uncover the complex relationship between American anti-communism and communist anti-Americanism. In an unprecedented move, she extends her inquiry to the work of Canadian intellectuals such as Dorothy Livesay and Hugh MacLennan to reveal the important yet overlooked fact that the territory at the border of the United States and Canada provided a vital contact zone and transnational "home" for leftist thinkers. Attending to intersections of race, ethnicity, and gender, Irr illustrates the ways dissenting writers made culture actively respond to the political crises of the Great Depression and questioned the nature of what it means to be "American." Drawing on insights from postcolonial and American studies and taking into account the intellectual and cultural dimensions of leftist politics, "The Suburb of Dissent" is the first study of the s to bring together U.S. and Canadian writings. In doing so, it reveals how the unique culture of the left contributed to North American history at this critical juncture and beyond.

Pacific Arcadia: Images of California,
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Perry, Claire, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, Since the arrival of the Spanish explorers in the sixteenth century, California has been thought of as a land of promise and opportunity. This lavishly illustrated catalog, which is to accompany a major exhibit opening in April at Stanford's Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Center for Visual Arts and traveling subsequently to two other museums, presents a fascinating cultural history of an idyllic vision of California that still figures prominently in the American imagination. Brought together in one show for the first time, this combination of art is unique in its range from high art to popular representations. Currier and Ives lithographs and the work of early European cartographers are juxtaposed with photographs by Carleton E. Watkins, Arnold Genthe, and Eadweard Muybridge, and paintings by Albert Bierstadt, James Walker, and William Hahn, among others. With one hundred and fifty plates--sixty in full color--Pacific Arcadia illuminates the imagery of the California Dream. Perry investigates how and why this vision of a Pacific paradise was developed and marketed to the public, taking as her subject the images produced by early visitors and residents confronted by the peculiarities of California's landscape, the abundance of its natural resources, and the omnipresence of the vast Pacific. Using paintings, drawings, maps, photographs, newspaper and book illustrations, and printed ephemera dating from the seventeenth century to , Pacific Arcadia examines the ways these images represented California as a place where economic bliss could be attained in a spectacular natural setting.
The Deepest Cut
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Emley, Dianne, PUBLISHER: Ballantine Books, Back from the dead. That's how it feels for Nan Vining-a Pasadena homicide cop, a struggling single mother, and a woman determined to find the brutal madman who left her for dead a year ago. Now, in Dianne Emley's brilliant new thriller, Nan Vining must face the truth: her attacker is still out there and he's killed at least three other women. She has given a name to her unknown assailant: T. B. Mann-The Bad Man. On the job, Nan breaks rules and steals evidence, building a case file based on the dead certainty that T. B. Mann is obsessed with women who wear uniforms or carry guns, that he hunts them and kills them, then adorns them with a pearl necklace. At the crime scene of her official assignment, the murder of an ex-con in a clown suit, Nan spots a graffiti tag and is sure, against all reason, that T. B. Mann was there, too. But she is fearful to share her suspicions. Further complicating matters is Nan's developing relationship with Detective Jim Kissick. In the grip of her secret obsession, she knows that opening her heart means losing control. Within this sprawling panorama T. B. Mann reemerges, bringing Nan to the sudden, horrifying realization that her killer has baited the perfect trap. Smart and gut-wrenching, deeply felt and passionate, The Deepest Cut startles and astounds from the first page to the last.

Still reeling from the deaths of her mother and sister on the Titanic, Sibyl Allston is living a life of quiet desperation with her taciturn father and scandal-plagued brother in an elegant town house in Boston's Back Bay. Trapped in a world over which she has no control, Sibyl flees for solace to the parlor of a table-turning medium. But when her brother is suddenly kicked out of Harvard under mysterious circumstances and falls under the sway of a strange young woman, Sibyl turns for help to psychology professor Benton Derby, despite the unspoken tensions of their shared past. As Benton and Sibyl work together to solve a harrowing mystery, their long-simmering spark flares to life, and they realize that there may be something even more magical between them than a medium's scrying glass.

Babysitting George
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Walden, Celia, PUBLISHER: Bloomsbury UK, As a young reporter, Celia Walden receives an unusual assignment: track down a global superstar and keep him away from all other journalists. That man is soccer player George Best, who made his debut for Manchester United at age seventeen and was the star of a star team throughout the s.

Yet as Celia's assignment to "babysit" George around the clock stretches out over months, an unlikely sort of friendship develops, and she gets to know George as a funny, volatile, and complex human being, an avid reader and member of MENSA, ravaged by alcohol and gradually withering under the constant glare of the spotlight." Babysitting George "is a tender account of a unique relationship between a young journalist and a dying star. It questions the exploitative nature of tabloid journalism; the terrifying, all-consuming nature of addiction; and the implausible meetings that can change one's life.

Memoir: A History
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Yagoda, Ben, PUBLISHER: Riverhead Books, From a critically acclaimed cultural and literary critic, a definitive history and analysis of the memoir. From Saint Augustine's "Confessions" to Augusten Burroughs's "Running with Scissors," from Julius Caesar to Ulysses Grant, from Mark Twain to David Sedaris, the art of memoir has had a fascinating life, and deserves its own biography. Cultural and literary critic Ben Yagoda traces the memoir from its birth in early Christian writings and Roman generals' journals all the way up to the banner year of , which saw memoirs from and about dogs, rock stars, bad dads, good dads, alternadads, waitresses, George Foreman, Iranian women, and a slew of other illustrious persons (and animals). In a time when memoir seems ubiquitous and is still highly controversial, Yagoda tackles the autobiography and memoir in all its forms and iterations. He discusses the fraudulent memoir and provides many examples from the past-and addresses the ramifications and consequences of these books. Spanning decades and nations, styles and subjects, he analyzes the hallmark memoirs of the Western tradition-Rousseau, Ben Franklin, Henry Adams, Gertrude Stein, Edward Gibbon, among others. Yagoda also describes historical trends, such as Native American captive memoirs, slave narratives, courtier dramas (where one had to pay to NOT be included in a courtesan's memoir). Throughout, the idea of memory and truth, how we remember and how well we remember lives, is intimately explored. Yagoda's elegant examination of memoir is at once a history of literature and taste, and an absorbing glimpse into what humans find interesting-one another.

A Black Way of Seeing: From "Liberty" to Freedom
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Robeson, Paul, Jr., PUBLISHER: Seven Stories Press, " C]ontinues the elder Robeson's tradition of speaking out thoughtfully and frankly, and sketches a vision of American history where Black Americans, from slavery forward, have been forced to live a 'separate reality' from white Americans."-Publishers Weekly "The language of the Declaration of Independence could not have used the word freedom without directly confronting the issue of slavery as the ultimate denial of liberty, " writes black American writer Paul Robeson Jr. in the opening pages of this powerful and forward-looking indictment of contemporary American politics. Thereafter, Robeson writes, "liberty meant the privileges to which the elite minority was entitled." And as for freedom, we are still waiting for it. In the tradition of James Baldwin's Notes of a Native Son, Robeson's A Black Way of Seeing melds history and analysis in a sweeping panorama, scathing in its understanding of why black empowerment has failed and prescient in its articulation of what it will take for black Americans to finally cross over to the status of fully empowered citizens and what the ramifications of this change can be for the country as a whole. Paul Robeson Jr. is the author of Paul Robeson, Jr. Speaks to America: The Politics of Multiculturalism and The Undiscovered Paul Robeson: An Artist's Journey. An esteemed cultural critic, he has lectured across the United States and has appeared on radio and television programs around the globe. Son of the legendary Paul Robeson, he served for more than twenty years as his father's close aide and personal representative.
Braque: The Late Works
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Golding, John / Monod-Fontaine, Isabelle / Bowness, Sophie, PUBLISHER: Yale University Press, Georges Braque is one of the most significant artists of the twentieth century, yet only a small part of his work is well known. This handsome book sheds new light on the art of this master and shifts the focus from his Cubist work to the great cycles of his mature years -- the Interiors, Billiard Tables, Studios, and late Bird paintings. In Braque's later work, says John Golding, we see that he is able to demonstrate an increased freedom and poetic quality even while remaining truthful to the principles of Cubism. As in his Cubist still lifes, Braque regards the objects in his interiors in a detached manner, using them to define the spatial organization of the paintings, and he treats the figures that occasionally appear in these works in a similar way, totally fusing them with their setting. The artist's palette of darker tones also harks back to the Cubist years. But in the series of Billiard Tables, which dates from to , Braque manipulates space with unusual boldness, using the table as a device with which to play visual tricks. And the later works also exhibit a poetic content, especially evident in the Bird paintings, with their quiet resonance and with space depicted without formal limits and defined only by the presence of the bird itself. This book will serve as the catalogue of an exhibition of Braque's late works at the Royal Academy of Arts, London, in spring and at the Menil Collection, Houston, in summer .

Stufa radiatore a gas metano italkero stratos 5.0
STRATOS 5.0 potenza max 4,30 min 2,98 kw lunghezza 68 cm Grazie ad un innovativo sistema di mandata d'aria calda dal basso evita la stratificazione del calore e garantisce la distribuzione omogenea del calore. Design elegante che si adatta a tutti gli ambienti, colorando il frontale dello stesso colore della parete, Stratos si mimetizza con gli interni. Installazione a pavimento facile e veloce grazie alla base di sostegno floor standing (optional). Apparecchi a gas indipendenti per il riscaldamento degli ambienti. Impiegano un bruciatore atmosferico con camera di combustione di TIPO C, stagna rispetto all'ambiente in cui sono installati, massima garanzia di sicurezza perchè non permette rigurgiti di fumi di scarico o di combustibile all'interno del locale abitato. L'aspirazione dell'aria comburente e lo scarico dei prodotti della combustione avviene all'esterno dell'ambiente grazie al ventilatore centrifugo installato sugli apparecchi. Date le loro dimensioni contenute, possono essere installati in spazi limitati e per assicurare un maggiore benessere dell'ambiente riscaldato, sono dotati di una vaschetta umidificatrice. Sono predisposti, in fabbrica, per il funzionamento a GAS METANO, ma possono essere trasformati a GPL (G30/G31) utilizzando il Kit ugelli fornito a corredo. Nota: A richiesta gli apparecchi possono essere forniti già predisposti a GPL. Lo scambiatore termico, realizzato in alluminio pressofuso é alettato, consentendo un elevato rendimento di combustione. Il ventilatore tangenziale, consente invece, un rapido riscaldamento degli ambienti dal momento della richiesta di calore. Una scheda elettronica controlla tutte le principali funzioni dell'apparecchio ed interrompe automaticamente l'erogazione del gas in caso di avaria. Il pannello di comando consente di inserire l'alimentazione elettrica all'apparecchio, di avviarlo o arrestarlo manualmente o automaticamente, programmando il Timer giornaliero, selezionare la potenza termica NO MAIL,CONTATTO TEL,
