Born among outcasts from the Mountain beyond, she is rescued by lawyer Royall and lives with him as his ward. Never allowed to forget her disreputable origins Charity despises North Dormer and rebels against the stifling dullness of the tight-knit community surrounding her. Her boring job in the local library is interrupted one day by the arrival of a young visiting architect, Lucius Harney, whose good looks andsophistication arouse her passionate nature. As their relationship grows, so too does Charity's conflict with her guardian; darker undercurrents start to come to the surface.Summer is often compared to Wharton's other New England story, Ethan Frome, and it shares the same intensity of feeling and repression.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) was one of the most admired astronomers who ever lived and a key figure in the scientific revolution. A defender of Copernicus s sun-centred universe, he famously discovered that planets move in ellipses, and defined the three laws of planetary motion. Perhaps less well known is that in 1615, when Kepler was at the height of his career, his widowed mother Katharina was accused of witchcraft. The proceedings led to a criminal trial that lasted six years, with Kepler conducting his mother's defence. In The Astronomer and the Witch, Ulinka Rublack pieces together the tale of this extraordinary episode in Kepler's life, one which takes us to the heart of his changing world. First and foremost an intense family drama, the story brings to life the world of a small Lutheran community in the centre of Europe at a time of deep religious and political turmoil - a century after the Reformation, and on the threshold of the Thirty Years' War. Kepler's defence of his mother also offers us a fascinating glimpse into the great astronomer's world view, on the cusp between Reformation and scientific revolution. While advancing rational explanations for the phenomena which his mother's accusers attributed to witchcraft, Kepler nevertheless did not call into question the existence of magic and witches. On the contrary, he clearly believed in them. And, as the story unfolds, it appears that there were moments when even Katharina's children struggled to understand what their mother had done.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Vier Milliarden Menschen werden von den Rechtssystemen ihrer Länder nicht vor Gewalt geschützt.

Neuen Studien zufolge fürchten sie willkürliche Gewalt sogar stärker als Wasser-, Nahrungs- und Medikamentenmangel.Menschen, die von weniger als zwei Dollar am Tag überleben müssen und der Fessel alltäglicher Gewalt schutzlos ausgeliefert sind, bleiben in Armut gefangen. Gewalt gegen Arme verhindert jede nachhaltige Entwicklung; ein Aspekt, der auch in der Entwicklungszusammenarbeit neu bedacht werden muss.Dieses Buch des Menschenrechtlers Gary Haugen und des Staatsanwalts Victor Boutros zeigt, dass ein tiefgreifender Strukturwandel im Polizei- und Gerichtswesen vieler Entwicklungs- und Schwellenländer nötig - und möglich - ist, um Menschenrechte auch für die Ärmsten tatsächlich durchzusetzen.Stimmen zum Buch'Mein Leben lang habe ich mit eigenen Augen gesehen, dass Talent, Ehrgeiz und die Bereitschaft zu harter Arbeit unter allen Menschen dieser Erde gleichermaßen verteilt sind. Doch manche von ihnen kämpfen Tag für Tag ganz einfach nur ums Überleben.

Madeleine Albright(ehemalige Außenministerin der USA)'Allzu oft werden die Lösungsansätze für die großen Probleme unserer Welt übereilt und vereinfachend formuliert.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The 'New Atheist' movement of recent years has put the science-versus-religion controversy back on the popular cultural agenda. Anti-religious polemicists are convinced that the application of the new sciences of the mind to religious belief gives them the final weapons in their battle against irrationality and superstition. What used to be a trickle of research papers scattered in specialized scientific journals has now become a torrent of books, articles, and commentary in the popular media pressing the case that the cognitive science of religion can finally fulfill the enlightenment dream of shrinking religion into insignificance, if not eliminating it altogether. James Jones argues that these claims are demonstrably false. He notes that cognitive science research is religiously neutral; it can be deployed in many different ways in relation to the actual belief in and practice of religion: to undermine it, to simply study it, and to support it. These differences are differences in interpretation of the data and, Jones suggests, a reflection of the background assumptions and viewpoints brought to the data. The goal of this book is not to defend either a general religious outlook or a particular religious tradition but to make the case that while there is much to learn from the cognitive scientific study of religion, attempts to use it to 'explain' religion are exaggerated and misguided. Drawing on scientific research and logical argument Can Science Explain Religion directly confronts the claims of these debunkers of religion, providing an accessibly written, persuasive account of why they are not convincing.
