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

Les troubles dissociatifs sont une réponse aux traumas extrêmes subis pendant l’enfance et ancrés dans la mémoire. Ces troubles se manifestent par une altération de la conscience avec des pertes fonctionnelles (amnésie, troubles de l’identité, paralysie, pertes de sensations...) ou des intrusions (flashbacks, voix...). Souvent confondus avec d’autres pathologies, notamment les psychoses dissociatives, ils sont un concept fondamental en psychotraumatologie et posent de difficiles problèmes médicolégaux en criminologie. 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.

&¿Cu&áles son las claves de una personalidad emprendedora? Lo primero que debemos aprender es que el &éxito de un proyecto est&á &íntimamente relacionado con el crecimiento personal: debe cimentarse sobre nuestras pasiones, talentos y virtudes.

El secreto reside en combinar de forma transgresora elementos que han estado siempre a nuestro alcance.

Los caminos conocidos, nos dicen Hern&án Herrera y Daniel Brown, conducen a destinos predecibles, y no siempre se obtienen los resultados deseados. Nuestra meta no debe consistir en aspirar a ser mejores, sino en hallar el camino que nos haga &únicos.&

"From its opening lines, Daniel Brown''s Taking the Occasion sounds a new note in poetry. In poem after poem, Mr. Brown plays urban speech rhythms across the back-beat of meter and rhyme. Distinctive in matter as well as in manner, Taking the Occasion addresses topics ranging from baseball to the birth of God. In a time when subjects are viewed by many poets as suspect, Mr. Brown demonstrates the abiding power of an arresting premise. His work repeatedly sounds emotional or philosophical depths yet isn''t above eliciting a laugh in the process. If contemporary poetry has lost the large and enthusiastic audience a vital art requires, the pleasure-giving profundity of Taking the Occasion just may help forge a reconnection."--BOOK JACKET.

The story of the American people has been traditionally written as "victory history." In this narrative, Euromericans come to the Western Hemisphere, dominate the existing indigenous peoples, and ultimately create the greatest nation in the world. This version has been misleading, misguided, and occasionally downright wrong."American Chronicle: An Inclusive History" Volume I, is an in-depth examination of American history from the arrival of Euromericans to the administration of Rutherford B. Hayes. It provides readers with a more accurate representation of the previously scorned and marginalized people-the native nations and tribes, African Americans, Chicanos, American Jews, Asian Americans, and the LBGTQ community-with their proper recognition and acknowledgement. Moreover, their bypassed, disregarded, and frequently denigrated contributions are illuminated.In addition, "American Chronicle" examines the role mass sickness and disease has played in U.S. history. While many historical appraisals highlight the devastation mass disease had on indigenous peoples, scant attention has been paid to the fact that most deaths in American conflicts were the result of various maladies. For example, less than twenty percent of all American deaths in the Mexican War were battlefield related, while eighty-three to eighty-six percent were caused by disease, particularly dysentery, yellow fever, malaria, and smallpox. In the Civil War, two-thirds of all fatalities were the result of disease.Finally, this study integrates social history-the role fashion, music, language, and literature played in shaping the American perspective-into this exceedingly well documented "warts and all" narrative.
