Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Harriet Beecher Stowe's timeless and moving novel, an incendiary work that fanned the embers of the struggle between free and slave states into the fire of the Civil War. Uncle Tom's Cabin is the story of the slave Tom. Devout and loyal, he is sold and sent down south, where he endures brutal treatment at the hands of the degenerate plantation owner Simon Legree. By exposing the extreme cruelties of slavery, Stowe explores society's failures and asks a profound question: 'What is it to be a moral human being ' And as the novel that helped to move a nation to battle, Uncle Tom's Cabin is an essential part of the collective experience of the American people. With an Introduction by Darryl Pinckney and an Afterword by Jonathan Arac.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Today the theory of evolution by natural selection and the science of genetics are the twin keys to our understanding of how life on earth came about. Yet when an English naturalist called Charles Darwin first published his ideas in 1859 in a book called On the Origin of Species the world was horrified at the notion of a changing creation without the intervention a Creator. By contrast, when a few years later an obscure Moravian monk, Gregor Mendel, published the results of his experiments in genetics the world failed to noticeJohn Scotney's new book explains just what these two great men had discovered and follows the amazing development of this seminal idea from the decade when it turned the world on its head to the present time and the unravelling of the human genome. It describes how the first dinosaur fossils were believed to be the bones of giants and how little by little the ongoing story of living creatures has been assembled until we can see the thread of life running from single-cell microorganisms to primates like ourselves, and why most ancient creatures died out and some survive to this day. Indeed we still carry vestiges of former life forms in our bodies and it is said that ancient seas flow in our blood. Anatomy, taxonomy, chemistry, geology, archaeology, and embryology have all had a part in this remarkable detective story, and even the Cold War became involved when the followers of Mendel in the West were confronted by those of Lamarck in China and Russia. Modern evolutionary theory is shown to be a synthesis of many scientific fields and the product both of years of tireless work and of sudden imaginative leaps.The Theory of Evolution conveys the excitement of this fundamental discovery and gives an insight into the way scientific enquiry and debate continue to shape our world.SIMPLE GUIDES: SCIENCESimple Guides: Science are user-friendly introductions to the great scientific discoveries of the world.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - «Este libro es un colirio para los ojos. Cada relato sana una parte de nuestra persona, nos ilumina un rincón oscuro, nos devuelve la esperanza sobre nosotros mismos, a los que la prisa importante y cualificada no nos deja mirar, contemplar, reposar la mirada, ver.Una mirada peregrina que disuelve la cáscara de las apariencias y descubre bajo la superficie de los rótulos y las costumbres otra dimensión mucho más honda de la realidad. Lo mismo que Jesús veía surgir el reino de Dios desde todas las vidas descalificadas por la sociedad de su tiempo, Mariola ve cómo el don nuevo e incesante de Dios sigue llegando hoy por esos desapercibidos profetas de la condición humana. Gracias al arte de contar y de hacernos ver, también nosotros nos vamos acercando a esas historias, que se convierten en pequeñas parábolas de la manera en que Dios va rehaciendo hoy el tejido de la historia humana. Esos destellos fugaces del reino de Dios, no son como la estrella de los Magos que los condujo persistente a través del interminable desierto. Se parecen más bien a la claridad que brilló unos segundos en los rostros de los pastores y los dejó alegres en medio de su noche marginal. Se puede abrir en cualquier página como el que abre una fuente. Pero no es un libro inocente. Lleva dentro una exigencia profunda: ¿Hay que nacer de nuevo para ver el reino de Dios¿ (Jn 3,3) y, al mismo tiempo, hay que ¿cuidar y abrazar la vida de los otros allí donde se encuentra más amenazada¿».

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - El significado del matrimonio es infinitamente grandioso. El abismo entre la vision biblica del matrimonio y el concepto humano en general es -y ha sido siempre- gigantesco. Historicamente, algunas culturas respetan la importancia y la permanencia del matrimonio mas que otras. Algunas, culturas occidentales del siglo XXI, tienen una actitud hacia el matrimonio del tipo 'tomelo o dejelo,' tan limitada e informal como para hacer que la vision biblica le parezca ridicula a la mayoria de la gente. El matrimonio es un regalo temporal, pero glorioso. Es mas que el amor de un esposo y de una esposa por el otro; es muchisimo mas. Su significado es infinitamente grandioso: es la representacion del amor fiel al pacto entre Jesus y su pueblo. Pacto matrimonial esclarece la vision biblica, sus inesperadas caracteristicas y sus trascendentales implicancias para casados, solteros, divorciados y vueltos a casar.
