Y y de recordar que no todo merece tu energia, tu tiempo o tu explicacion.

Su vida cambia cuando se enamora de Eugenia, pero lo que parece una historia de amor se convierte en una profunda exploracion del sentido de la vida, la libertad y la identidad.En Niebla, Miguel de Unamuno borra las fronteras entre el autor y su personaje, entre la realidad y la ficcion. A traves de un lenguaje preciso y una estructura innovadora, crea una "nivola" como el mismo la llamo que desafia las reglas de la novela tradicional y plantea una pregunta esencial: ¿somos dueños de nuestro destino o simples criaturas de una voluntad ajena?

Ireland, under both the Irish Free State and after full independence, has now had just over 100 years of autonomous national political leadership.This book, based on Iain Dales blockbuster podcast, tells the story of Irish politics over the past century by examining the lives and actions of each Irish Taoiseach, from W.T. Cosgrave to Micheal Martin. 15 leading Irish historians, journalists and politicians write essays on each of these figures, showing in the process how Ireland developed from a poor ex-colony to a successful, modern country at the heart of the European Union. In the process, the contributors examine the importance of topics such as the power of the Roman Catholic Church, changing social mores, Irelands relationship with the UK, and its economic development.This is a must read for anyone interested in Irish politics at a time of potential far-reaching change for the republic.

The universe was supposed to be all there was - the whole of existence. For centuries the size of the universe and whether or not it is finite, fascinated scientists and philosophers.But however big the universe may be, there being only one gave astronomers and cosmologists a headache. Existence as we know it is contingent on so many constants in nature which, if altered only slightly, would make life impossible. This seems so unlikely to happen by chance. What if, instead, there is in fact a vast range of different universes, with many variants of the universal contents, making ours just one of many that happens to be viable for life?In this illuminating exploration, Brian Clegg delves into the endless possibilities of the multiverse. Investigating questions of expanding, parallel and communicating universes, this accessible guide takes the reader into one of the weirdest and most exciting areas of modern physics and cosmology.

O que é ser humano?Esta é uma pergunta que exige resposta cuidadosa em nossos dias. Assim como a igreja, ao longo dos séculos, enfrentou crises teológicas acerca da divindade de Cristo e da justificaço pela fe, vivemos hoje uma crise antropologica sem precedentes. Em muitas comunidades crists, mesmo entre aqueles que conhecem as respostas corretas sobre quem e Jesus e como somos salvos, encontramos uma compreenso fragilizada sobre o que significa ser humano.Em O que e ser humano, o teologo britanico Iain W. Provan utiliza a metafora do cuco europeu um parasita que se infiltra em ninhos alheios e destroi a familia hospedeira para descrever como ideias no biblicas sobre a humanidade tem invadido sorrateiramente nossas comunidades. Essas ideias, quase imperceptiveis a primeira vista, crescem ate dominar completamente o ambiente cristo, desviando-nos de forma fatal do caminho da verdade.Dividido em quatro partes praticas e acessiveis, este livro oferece: Uma base solida para compreender a antropologia crist Ferramentas para identificar e rejeitar ideias no biblicas sobre a humanidade Orientaçes claras para viver segundo uma viso verdadeiramente crist do ser humano Estrategias para equipar a igreja contra os "cucos" antropologicos contemporaneos Escrito especialmente para cristos serios que desejam seguir fielmente a Jesus Cristo, este livro no apenas promove o discipulado, mas tambem ajuda a restaurar uma viso biblica e robusta da pessoa humana em todas as areas da vida da igreja.

Beginning with the rise of modern Pentecostalism before tracking back 2,500-years, author and academic Gavin Evans traces the history of the Abrahamic faiths, Christianity, Judaism and Islam. In this book he explores the New Testament, Hebrew Bible and the Quran.Delving into recent archaeological research, Bible Stories presents evidence that tales such as those of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and also Moses, Joshua and the Exodus, were entirely mythological. Robust interrogation of the evidence allows Evans to go further still, casting doubt on the Jesus story and arguing that even if he did exist as an historical figure, we know next to nothing about him.As well as examining these key religious texts, Bible Stories also holds modern atheism to account - critiquing the work of some of its most ardent advocates, Evans rejects a militant approach and makes a compelling argument for a softer, more tolerant atheism.

A chance remark on the stairs at Peter Morris Music in Londons Denmark Street, in October 1963, set off a chain reaction that helped Brian Epstein apply some much-needed leverage on Americas Hollywood-based Capitol label.Although February 1963 marked the Beatles breakthrough in Britain, by the closing months of that year they still had not conquered the United States. Their manager Brian Epstein had been fighting what seemed like a losing battle to persuade Capitol to release the bands records in America. Indeed, when the Beatles eventually hit the big time in the United States in February 1964, both Epstein and Capitol executives obscured the truth behind it.What is the story behind this essential step in the Beatles meteoric rise to worldwide fame? In Capitol Gains, historian Andrew Cook uses corporate and personal archives to reveal the reality behind this and much more, lifting the lid on Capitols unfavourable view of the British record industry and how they set out to remix UK master tapes and create distinct US albums. It shows how, while Capitols strategy made the Beatles rich beyond their wildest dreams, Epstein often struggled to balance Capitols commercial decisions against the Beatles own demands, and explores the efforts made to protect the Beatles image as they were caught up in the whirlwind of global success.
