Sometimes the small things make all the difference. Moved by the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy, Ferial Pearson wondered if a…
simple act of kindness could change a life. She thought of the school where she taught and the students she guided every day and wondered, what would happen if we started secretly carrying out small acts of kindness in school? Could a modest act of compassion really change the course of a life? She posed the question to her students. They didn’t have the answers but they were willing to find out. And so they became the Secret Kindness Agents. They not only changed the lives of those they met, they changed their own. Their hope, their hearts, and their hunger for happiness will inspire you to change your small corner of the world, in your own way, for the better. Let them show you how they did it, and how you can do the same.

In 1865, British polymath Francis Galton published his initial thoughts about the scientific field that would become ‘eugenics.’ The same…
year, Russian physician Vasilii Florinskii addressed similar issues in a sizeable treatise, entitled Human Perfection and Degeneration. Initially unheralded, Florinskii’s book would go on to have a remarkable afterlife in twentieth- and twenty-first-century Russia. In this lucid and insightful work, Nikolai Krementsov argues that the concept of eugenics brings together ideas, values, practices, and fears energised by a focus on the future. It has proven so seductive to different groups over time because it provides a way to grapple with fundamental existential questions of human nature and destiny. With and Without Galton develops this argument by tracing the life-story of Florinskii’s monograph from its uncelebrated arrival amid the Russian empire’s Great Reforms, to its reissue after the Bolshevik Revolution, its decline under Stalinism, and its subsequent resurgence: first, as a founding document of medical genetics, and most recently, as a manifesto for nationalists and racial purists. Krementsov’s meticulously researched ‘biography of a book’ sheds light not only on the peculiar fate of eugenics in Russia, but also on its convoluted transnational history, elucidating the field’s protean nature and its continuing and contested appeal to diverse audiences, multiple local trajectories, and global trends. It is required reading for historians of eugenics, science, medicine, education, literature, and Russia, and it will also appeal to the general reader looking for a deeper understanding of this challenging subject.

This volume presents a collection of articles centring on the language of the Mishnah and the Talmud – the most…
important Jewish texts (after the Bible), which were compiled in Palestine and Babylonia in the latter centuries of Late Antiquity. Despite the fact that Rabbinic Hebrew has been the subject of growing academic interest across the past century, very little scholarship has been written on it in English. Studies in Rabbinic Hebrew addresses this lacuna, with eight lucid but technically rigorous articles written in English by a range of experienced scholars, focusing on various aspects of Rabbinic Hebrew: its phonology, morphology, syntax, pragmatics and lexicon. This volume is essential reading for students and scholars of Rabbinic studies alike, and constitutes the first in a new series, Studies in Semitic Languages and Cultures, in collaboration with the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Cambridge.

Jeg håper du vil finne informasjonen hjelpsom, nyttig og lønnsom. Informasjonen i denne e-boken om å leve vegetarisk og beslektede emner er organisert i 15 kapitler à ca 500 – 600 ord. Og som en tilleggsbonus har du min tillatelse til å bruke innholdet på din egen web-side, eller på din egen blogg eller nyhetsbrev – selv om det beste vil være om du da først skriver det om med dine egne ord.

Har du tilbakemeldinger, så vennligst send dem til firmaet du kjøpte boken av. Takk igjen for at du kjøpte denne e-boken. Vennlig hilsen Owen Jones

This volume offers a new English translation, introduction, and detailed commentary on Sefer Meyasher 'Aqov, (The Rectifying of the Curved), a…
14th-century Hebrew treatise on the foundation of geometry. The book is a mixture of two genres: philosophical discussion and formal, Euclidean-type geometrical writing. A central issue is the use of motion and superposition in geometry, which is analyzed in depth through dialog with earlier Arab mathematicians. The author, Alfonso, was identified by Gita Gluskina (the editor of the 1983 Russian edition) as Alfonso of Valladolid, the converted Jew Abner of Burgos. Alfonso lived in Castile, rather far from the leading cultural centers of his time, but nonetheless at the crossroad of three cultures. He was raised in the Jewish tradition and like many Sephardic Jewish intellectuals was versed in Greek-Arabic philosophy and science. He also had connections with some Christian nobles and towards the end of his life converted to Christianity. Driven by his ambition to solve the problem of the quadrature of the circle, as well as other open geometrical problems, Alfonso acquired surprisingly wide knowledge and became familiar with several episodes in Greek and Arabic geometry that historians usually consider not to have been known in the West in the fourteenth century. Sefer Meyasher 'Aqov reflects his wide and deep erudition in mathematics and philosophy, and provides new evidence on cultural transmission around the Mediterranean.

København 1825 i den såkalte danske gylne tid. Carl Otto er lege, og leder av sykehuset ved det danske statsfengselet…
i Købnhavn. Han er vitenskapsmann, mmen mener at en kan finne ut omtrent alt om et menneskes evner og karakter ved måling av kraniet. Han er - med andre ord - landets ledende talsmann for såkalt vitenskapelig frenologi. Vitenskapelig tar han selvfølgelig feil, og dette blir han motvillig klar over når han får en ny pasient i sykehuset: En fattig, fordrukken, løgnaktig og tyvaktig bondekone som har blitt benådet fra dødsdom. Det spesielle møtet mellom to personer fra diamtralt motsatte samfunnsforhold truer med å knuse Carl Ottos anseelse og sosiale posisjon og fører ham inn i en dyp samvittighetskonflikt. Romanen består av Carl Ottos nedtegnelser, alternerende med historier fra den fattige, kriminelle kvinnens liv fra barndom til hennes død i fengselet. Hele den historiske beretningen innrammes av et moderne narrativ som forklarer hvordan Ottos papirer er blitt oppdaget. Både Carl Otto og hans motstykke Anne Andersdatter er virkelige, historiske personer, og nesten alt i romanen erbasert på research og faktiske hendelser.
