ORIGENS, TENDÊNCIAS E PRÁTICAS MUÇULMANAS NO MUNDO CONTEMPORÂNEO O que os cristãos precisam saber sobre os muçulmanos, o fundador do islã, seu livro sagrado e suas tradições? "Uma Nova Introdução ao Islã" apresenta as questões históricas, religiosas, sociais e geográficas que influenciaram a tradição islâmica e sua compreensão sobre Deus, Jesus, ética e outros assuntos que moldaram o pensamento e a formação da religião islâmica. Uma obra abrangente e que se tornou um clássico. Escrita por um notável acadêmico cristão, que oferece ao leitor os estudos mais recentes, as tendências, bem como a complexa relação do Ocidente com o islã, o radicalismo islâmico e a disseminação do islamismo para a Europa e as Américas, é ricamente ilustrada. Por que ler o livro • Para saber mais sobre o Alcorão, Maomé e a influência islâmica • Para conhecer melhor os principais personagens, os acontecimentos e o contexto cultural do islã. • Conteúdo ricamente ilustrado, além de glossário, índice de nomes e mapas Aplicações do tema • Como os cristãos devem se aproximar e conversar com os muçulmanos? • O que é e o que dizer sobre o radicalismo islâmico? • O que sabemos sobre a teologia islâmica e a relação do Ocidente com o islã? *** O QUE DISSERAM "Uma Nova Introdução ao Islã" ajuda o leitor a ter uma compreensão mais sólida sobre os principais personagens e acontecimentos ao descrever os primórdios do islã, seu desenvolvimento e o impacto que essa religião e seus seguidores têm tido – positiva e negativamente – sobre a história nos últimos quatorze séculos. Para Daniel Brown, "o processo de formação do islã, dos seus livros sagrados e de suas conquistas territoriais foram mais longos e complexos do que se costuma afirmar, já que "religiões e civilizações não emergem totalmente formadas do deserto; os nômades não se transformam da noite para o dia em teólogos, juristas, lexicógrafos e teóricos políticos". Enfim, vários dos temas presentes em Uma Nova Introdução ao Islã são pouco abordados por autores cristãos na literatura disponível no Brasil – teologia e filosofia islâmicas, a sharia, o sufismo, a complexa relação do Ocidente com o islã, os desafios que o islã encontra ao se deparar com o pluralismo, o liberalismo, o feminismo e – como não? – com o radicalismo islâmico. – Marcos Amado

Daniel Brown’s Subjects in Poetry is the first book to examine the broad and imposing topic of poetic subject matter, probing both what poems are about and how that influences the way they''re made. It comprises one poet’s attempt to plumb the nature of his art, to ask how the selection of material remains a crucial yet unexplored area of poetic craft, and to suggest the vast range of possible subjects for poems. The book begins by venturing a novel definition of “subject,” derived from Robert Frost’s dictum that poetry constitutes an “art of having something to say.” Brown posits that a poem can say something by expressing, evoking, or addressing. He considers each of these ways-of-saying in turn, first defining it and then looking at poems in which it predominates. Brown next makes a wide-ranging case for the value of subjects to poems, poets, and the art of poetry, especially at a time when many poems appear subjectless. He concludes the book with practical guidance on finding subjects, improving them, and realizing their potential. Replete with thoughtful readings of poems both classic and contemporary, Subjects in Poetry should appeal to poets across all levels and readers interested in understanding the art and practice of poetry.

Achieve your weight loss and fitness goals using the diet inspired by the Mediterranean Sea Are you looking for a diet that will help you reach your weight loss goals? One that makes you healthier, boosts immunity, ensures you maintain a healthy weight, and benefits all areas of your life? Many of us are constantly looking for a diet that is not only manageable, but also fits into our lifestyle. None of us wish to spend sleepless nights, imagining the unpleasant meals or the starvation we will have to endure, just to lose a couple of pounds. The attraction of the Mediterranean Diet is not merely the glamour of the countries in which it originates, such as Italy, France, Greece, Egypt, and other neighboring provinces. This is also an eating style that allows you to feel more satisfied as you are getting whole, delicious and healthy foods. Even more importantly, is that it encouraged you to eat sustainable amounts of food, rather than restricting calories. Residents of countries, such as Italy, have been eating this way for centuries, and now we have the ability to access the same principles to use in our own lives. Look Great and Live Healthy While Enjoying the Classic Mediterranean Lifestyle! The Complete Mediterranean Diet Cookbook A Complete Guide Many Americans are looking for ways to lose weight and get in better health. With the rising costs of medical care and prescriptions and all the bad health effects that can come from an unhealthy lifestyle, it is important to make the right changes. There are hundreds of diet plans out there that promise to be the best, but most of them are unhealthy or too hard to stick with for the long term. The Mediterranean Diet is different. It isn''t just about eating fewer calories and making yourself feel deprived. It is a complete lifestyle change. While you will spend some time learning how to eat foods that are healthy, such as learning the difference between good and bad fats and limiting carbs, you also need to focus on some of the other important aspects, such as eating with family and friends and getting in plenty of exercise. This diet focuses on changing your habits and lifestyle into a healthier one so that you can stick with these changes for the rest of your life.

Les troubles dissociatifs sont une réponse aux traumas extrêmes subis pendant l’enfance et ancrés dans la mémoire.

Ce livre, premier du genre en langue française, fait le point sur la recherche scientifique concernant les troubles dissociatifs, ses expressions cliniques et leur traitement.

Hilary Fraser provides a comprehensive and thorough survey of English prose in the nineteenth century which draws from a wide variety of fields including art, literary theory and criticisim, biography, letters, journals, sermons, and travel reportage. Through these works the cultural, social, literary and political life of the twentieth century - a period of great intellectual activity - can be charted, discussed and assessed. For the first time, an inclusive critical survey of nineteenth-century non-fiction is presented, that traces the century''s ideological and cultural upheavals as they are registered in the literary textures of some of its most widely read and influential writings.The book explores the relations between writers who are generally perceived as occupying different discursive spheres, for example between John Stuart Mill, Florence Nightingale and Mrs Beeton; between Cardinal Newman, Elizabeth Gaskell and Hannah Cullwick; and between Charles Darwin, David Livingstone and Henry Mayhew. The establishment and development of different genres and their interactions over the century are clearly mapped. The genre of the periodical essay, a distinctively modern and flexible form catering to the mass readership, is the subject of the introduction, and then more specialist fields are discussed, covering scientific writing, travel and exploration literature, social reportage, biography, autobiography, journals, letters, religious and philosophical prose, political writing and history.

Should a Christian be depressed? Is it a failure on their part? This is my story (so far) of the descent into extreme darkness.

This book is about the historical moment when writers and critics first used the term “realism” to describe representation in literature and painting. While scholarship on realism tends to proceed from an assumption that the term has a long-established meaning and history, this book reveals that mid-nineteenth-century critics and writers first used the term reluctantly, with much confusion over what it might actually mean. It did not acquire the ready meaning we now take for granted until the end of the nineteenth century. In fact, its first definitions came primarily by way of example and analogy, through descriptions of current practitioners, or through fictionalized representations of artists. By investigating original debates over the term “realism,” this book shows how writers simultaneously engaged with broader concerns about the changing meanings of what was real and who had the authority to decide this.

With contributions by Paula Morgan-Johnson, Paula Sacks, Caroline R. Baltzer, James Hickey, Andrea Cole, Jan Bloom, and Deirdre Fay. Attachment Disturbances in Adults is a landmark resource for (1) understanding attachment, its development, and the most clinically relevant findings from attachment research, and (2) using this understanding to inform systematic, comprehensive, and clinically effective and efficient treatment of attachment disturbances in adults. It offers an innovative therapeutic model and set of methods for treating adult patients with dismissing, anxious-preoccupied, or disorganized attachment. In rich detail, it integrates historical and leading-edge attachment research into practical, effective treatment protocols for each type of insecure attachment. Case transcripts and many sample therapist phrasings illustrate how to apply the methods in practice. Part I, "Foundational Concepts," features a comprehensive overview of the field of attachment, including its history, seminal ideas, and existing knowledge about the development of attachment bonds and behaviors. Part II, "Assessment," addresses the assessment of attachment disturbances. It includes an overview of attachment assessment for the clinician and a trove of practical recommendations for assessing patients'' attachment behavior and status both outside of and within the therapeutic relationship. In Part III, "Treatment," the authors not only review existing treatment approaches for attachment disorders in adults, but also introduce an unprecedented, powerful new treatment method. This method, the "Three Pillars" model, is built on three essential clinical ingredients: 1. Systematically utilizing ideal parent figure imagery to develop a new positive, stable internal working model of secure attachment 2. Fostering a range of metacognitive skills 3. Fostering nonverbal and verbal collaborative behavior in treatment Used together, these interdependent pillars form a unified and profoundly effective method of treatment for attachment disturbances in adults—a must for any clinician. In Part IV, "Type-Specific Treatment," readers will learn specific variations of the three treatment pillars to maximize efficacy with each type of insecure attachment. Finally, Part V, "A Treatment Guide and Expected Outcomes," describes treatment in a step-by-step format and provides a success-assessment guide for the Three Pillars approach. This book is a comprehensive educational resource and a deeply practical clinical guide. It offers clinicians a complete set of tools for effective and efficient treatment of adult patients with attachment disturbances.

On September 1, 1894 two forest fires converged on the town of Hinckley, Minnesota, trapping over 2,000 people. Daniel J. Brown recounts the events surrounding the fire in the first and only book on to chronicle the dramatic story that unfolded. Whereas Oregon''s famous "Biscuit" fire in 2002 burned 350,000 acres in one week, the Hinckley fire did the same damage in five hours. The fire created its own weather, including hurricane-strength winds, bubbles of plasma-like glowing gas, and 200-foot-tall flames. In some instances, "fire whirls," or tornadoes of fire, danced out from the main body of the fire to knock down buildings and carry flaming debris into the sky. Temperatures reached 1,600 degrees Fahrenheit--the melting point of steel. As the fire surrounded the town, two railroads became the only means of escape. Two trains ran the gauntlet of fire. One train caught on fire from one end to the other. The heroic young African-American porter ran up and down the length of the train, reassuring the passengers even as the flames tore at their clothes. On the other train, the engineer refused to back his locomotive out of town until the last possible minute of escape. In all, more than 400 people died, leading to a revolution in forestry management practices and federal agencies that monitor and fight wildfires today. Author Daniel Brown has woven together numerous survivors'' stories, historical sources, and interviews with forest fire experts in a gripping narrative that tells the fascinating story of one of North America''s most devastating fires and how it changed the nation.
