By Pierluigi Di Cosimo, Danica Bartošová. 2014
Krátce o knize:Kde končí všechny sny a kde začíná život? Nebo kde končí život a začínají sny?To jsou otázky, se…
kterými se setkáme, když budeme sledovat dobrodružství Petra a Pamely. Na řádcích tohoto příběhu je budeme doprovázet na fantastické cestě na místo i při návratu z něj zpět, místo, které si každý z nás vytvořil ve své vlastní mysli, díky své vlastní víře, nebo díky vlastnímu přesvědčení, že nic nekončí navždy. Když překonáme naše obavy, pak se setkáme s našimi sny, o které budeme muset pečovat jako o malé děti. A spolu se dvěma hrdiny příběhu se budeme muset o ně postarat, aby se jim nic zlého nestalo, vychovávat je a bojovat za ně, snažit se je realizovat s veškerou energií, kterou nám samotné sny předávají. To je naše podstata bytí. Přestat věřit v tyto sny nebo je nenásledovat, by nás uvedlo do bolestí a zanechalo nás s hrstkou prachu v ruce. A právě v tomto okamžiku, všechno a my, ve skutečnosti končíme, to je okamžik, ve kterém končí život. Budou umět Petr s Pamelou bojovat proti nečemu skutečnému ale neurčitému? Budou umět nalézt tuto nitku, která sjednotí jejich sny, aby se návratili zpátky do života a žili jejich sny?Stjerneskud siger ikke farvel

By Averroes, Ralph Lerner. 1974
"In one fashion or another, the question with which this introduction begins is a question for every serious reader of…
Plato's Republic: Of what use is this philosophy to me? Averroes clearly finds that the Republic speaks to his own time and to his own situation. . . . Perhaps the greatest use he makes of the Republic is to understand better the shari'a itself. . . . It is fair to say that in deciding to paraphrase the Republic, Averroes is asserting that his world--the world defined and governed by the Koran--can profit from Plato's instruction."--from Ralph Lerner's IntroductionAn indispensable primary source in medieval political philosophy is presented here in a fully annotated translation of the celebrated discussion of the Republic by the twelfth-century Andalusian Muslim philosopher, Abu'l-Walid Muhammad Ibn Ahmad Ibn Rushd, also know by his his Latinized name, Averroes. This work played a major role in both the transmission and the adaptation of the Platonic tradition in the West. In a closely argued critical introduction, Ralph Lerner addresses several of the most important problems raised by the work.Dezert Na Dnešní Večer

Komisařův Přízrak
By Claudio Ruggeri, Denisa v bensk. 2014
Děj: Komisař Vincent Germano je policajtem, který náleží do generace z tzv. staré školy a který se narodil v San…
Franciscu. Do Itálie se dostal když mu bylo něco málo přes dvacet let a bylo to právě osudové setkání, které rozhodlo o tom, že komisař tu zůstal už navždy. Castelli Romani, které se nacházejí v provincii jižně od Říma, poslouží jako pozadí pro oba dva případy, během kterých bude podrobena těžké zkoušce Germanova a jeho mužů vyšetřovací bystrost. Jedná se o případ rozhodčího a jeho "postavení mimo hru" a případ zmizelé dívky.Týden S Italskou Kuchyní

Politimesterens Spøgelse
By Claudio Ruggeri, Mia Massimo. 2015
Vincent Germano er en lidt gammeldags og intuitiv politimester, som leder en politistation i Castelli Romani, en provinsby syd for…
Rom. Han er født og opvokset i San Francisco, men da han som enogtyve-årig rejser til Italien, tager hans liv en helt anden retning. Det er netop i Castelli Romani, der er skueplads for to situationer, som for alvor sætter Germanos og hans kollegaers dømmekraft på en hård prøve. En "offside" fodbolddommer og sagen om en forsvunden kvinde trækker tråde tilbage til fortidens spøgelser. Germano får brug for al sin medfødte intuition til at løse sagerne. Forude venter politimesteren en spændende jagt og mange søvnløse nætterThis 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.Horos: Ancient Boundaries and the Ecology of Stone

By Shai Heijmans. 2020
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.George Herbert Mead on Social Psychology (Heritage of Sociology Series)
By George Herbert Mead. 1964
One of the most brilliantly original of American pragmatists, George Herbert Mead published surprisingly few major papers and not a…
single book during his lifetime. Yet his influence on American sociology and social psychology since World War II has been exceedingly strong. This volume is a revised and enlarged edition of the book formerly published under the title The Social Psychology of George Herbert Mead. It contains selections from Mead's posthumous books: Mind, Self, and Society; Movements of Thought in the Nineteenth Century; The Philosophy of the Act; and The Philosophy of the Present, together with an incisive, newly revised, introductory essay by Anselm Strauss on the importance of Mead for contemporary social psychology.

Wind Energy for the Rest of Us
By Paul Gipe. 1970
Wind Energy for the Rest of Us straddles two—or more—worlds. The book is about wind energy. It’s not just about…
small wind turbines. It’s not just about large wind turbines. It’s about the depth and breadth of wind energy, encompassing more than either type of wind turbine. It includes water-pumping windmills and sailing ships. It’s a sprawling book, one minute discussing how to install small wind turbines safely, the next explaining how farmers in Indiana can earn millions by installing their own multimegawatt wind turbines. If it’s a book hard to categorize, that suits its author, Paul Gipe, who likes to think he’s hard to categorize after four decades at the frontiers of renewable energy. His book tells the story of modern wind energy in all its complexity and introduces a North American audience to the trailblazing electricity rebels who have launched a renewable energy revolution in Europe. The book debunks novel wind turbines their promoters claim will generate electricity “too cheap to meter,” and rebukes revisionist historians who falsely argue that it was the aerospace industry that delivered today’s modern wind turbines. Gipe explains why new wind turbines are part of a silent revolution that is changing the way we use wind energy. This revolution doesn’t garner headlines, but is making wind turbines more cost-effective in more places than ever before, lessening the need for new transmission lines, obviating the need for storage, and fueling rapid growth. Gipe refutes many common myths surrounding wind energy and argues persuasively that wind turbines are productive, effective, and environmentally sound. Gipe argues that wind energy is too important to be left to electric utilities and their subsidiaries alone. Wind energy is also for the rest of us, he says. It is our resource. We can develop it and we can own it--ourselves.Landscapes of Investigation: Contributions to Critical Mathematics Education
By Miriam Godoy Penteado and Ole Skovsmose. 2022
Creating landscapes of investigation is a primary concern of critical mathematics education. It enables us to organise educational processes so…
that students and teachers are able to get involved in explorations guided by dialogical interactions. It attempts to address explicit or implicit forms of social injustice by means of mathematics, and also to promote a critical conception of mathematics, challenging the assumption that the subject represents objectivity and neutrality. Landscapes of Investigation provides many illustrations of how this can be done in primary, secondary, and university education. It also illustrates how exploring landscapes of investigation can contribute to mathematics teacher education programmes.
