The third edition will prove essential reading for all those interested in politics, political theory and political philosophy.\n \n\n A companion website to Models of Democracy provides lecturer and student resources; including a study guide, an interview with the author and links to develop the reader's understanding of the topics covered.

The late, beloved Rachel Held Evans answers many children's first question about God in this gorgeous picture book, fully realized by her friend Matthew Paul Turner, the bestselling author of When God Made You.\n \n Children who are introduced to God, through attending church or having loved ones who speak often about God, often have a lot of questions, including this ever-popular one: What is God like? The late Rachel Held Evans loved the Bible and loved showing God's love through the words and pictures found in that ancient text. Through these pictures from the Bible, children see that God is like a shepherd, God is like a star, God is like a gardener, God is like the wind, and more. God is a comforter and support. And whenever a child is unsure, What is God Like? encourages young hearts to 'think about what makes you feel safe, what makes you feel loved, and\n what makes you feel brave. That's what God is like.'\n \n PRODUCT FEATURE: Jacketed hardcover, full colour illustrations throughout.\n \n HOW THIS BOOK CAME ABOUT: In May 2019, the world was shocked by the sudden loss of 37-year-old Rachel Held Evans, a New York Times bestselling author, prominent blogger, and popular preacher and speaker. Her obituary was covered in The New York Times, The Atlantic,and The New Yorker, by CNN, and NPR, and across many other media outlets, creating an outpouring of grief over social media. Rachel left behind her\n husband, Dan, and two young children, ages 3 and 1. Since becoming a mother, Rachel was captivated by how she would share her faith in God--one that openly expressed so much doubt and questions--with her children. She had drafted What is God Like? in the weeks before she fell into a coma. Convergent author Matthew Paul\n Turner was a close friend of Rachel's, and was invited by her family to help flesh out her conversation about God, for children, in this book.\n \n INFLUENTIAL LAUNCH: Rachel's circle of friends includes a wide range of thinkers and influencers like Sarah Bessey, Nadia Bolz-Weber, Jen Hatmaker, Ann Voskamp, Glennon Doyle, Kate Bowler, Mike McHargue, Kristen Howerton, Rob Bell, and many others. For her previous books, Rachel was featured in The Washington Post, The Guardian, Christianity Today, Slate, Huff Post, and the CNN Belief Blog, and on NPR, BBC, Today, and The View.\n \n WIDE ECUMENICAL APPEAL: Rachel appeals to many from different religious perspectives and this book represents a broad position on God that doesn't conform to one theological channel.\n \n SOCIAL MEDIA: Rachel's legacy continues online on Facebook (123K followers) with active posting and engagement, Twitter (167K followers), and her website where her blogs are archived. Matthew has a Twitter following of 81.3K followers and an Instagram following of 16.2K.\n \n PUBLICITY: Dan Evans has represented Rachel and her interests since she passed, including at the Evolving Faith Conference, on Today.com, and on The New York Times podcast The Daily. Both Dan and...

Sia gli apologeti che i detrattori della globalizzazione hanno un'idea eccessivamente monolitica del fenomeno e non ne colgono le dinamiche complesse che possono avere esiti positivi o negativi a seconda di come sono governate. In questo volume uno dei più noti ed apprezzati studiosi del settore esamina le diverse sfere - dell'economia, della politica, del diritto e della sicurezza collettiva - che sono state intaccate dal cambiamento globale per delineare un'agenda democratica delle cose da fare. David Held insegna Scienza della politica alla London School of Economics and Political Science.

Virginia Held assesses the ethics of care as a promising alternative to the familiar moral theories that serve so inadequately to guide our lives. The ethics of care is only a few decades old, yet it is by now a distinct moral theory or normative approach to the problems we face. It is relevant to global and political matters as well as to the personal relations that can most clearly exemplify care.\n This book clarifies just what the ethics of care is: what its characteristics are, what it holds, and what it enables us to do. It discusses the feminist roots of this moral approach and why the ethics of care can be a morality with universal appeal. Held examines what we mean by \"care,\" and what a caring person is like. Where other moral theories demand impartiality above all, the ethics of care understands the moral import of our ties to our families and groups. It evaluates such ties,\nfocusing on caring relations rather than simply on the virtues of individuals. The book proposes how such values as justice, equality, and individual rights can \"fit together\" with such values as care, trust, mutual consideration, and solidarity.\n In the second part of the book, Held examines the potential of the ethics of care for dealing with social issues. She shows how the ethics of care is more promising than Kantian moral theory and utilitarianism for advice on how expansive, or not, markets should be, and on when other values than market ones should prevail. She connects the ethics of care with the rising interest in civil society, and considers the limits appropriate for the language of rights. Finally, she shows the promise of\nthe ethics of care for dealing with global problems and seeing anew the outlines of international civility.

Breve storia a fumetti dello storico caffe' Florian di Venezia aperto nel 1720.

A study of the life and background of 'Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani, putative founder of the Qadiriyya order, investigating the sources for his life and attributed works.

Among the offspring of humans and other animals are occasional individuals that are malformed in whole or in part. The most grossly abnormal of these have been referred to from ancient times as monsters, because their birth was thought to foretell doom; the less severely affected are usually known as anomalies. This volume digs deeply into the cellular and molecular processes of embryonic development that go awry in such exceptional situations. It focuses on the physical mechanisms of how genes instruct cells to build anatomy, as well as the underlying forces of evolution that shaped these mechanisms over eons of geologic time. The narrative is framed in a historical perspective that should help students trying to make sense of these complex subjects. Each chapter is written in the style of a Sherlock Holmes story, starting with the clues and ending with a solution to the mystery.

Una guida turistico-filosofica che accompagna il lettore nel suo vagabondare da un centro della classicità all'altro, passando per Mileto, Efeso, Atene, Roma, Alessandria, Istanbul; un libro che consente di riflettere sulla nascita della filosofia e sulle visioni del mondo alle origini della civiltà occidentale.

Rhythm and number underpin our lives, from the days of the week and the times of the day to the number of letters in the alphabet. But do we ever stop to consider the deeper meaning behind these every day realities?\n\nIn Uncovering the Secrets of Time and Number Wolfgang Held offers a fascinating exploration of this question. He looks at why there are seven days in a week and how each day resonates with different soul moods in the human being, for example why Tuesday is a good day for making mistakes and why Friday is the day of beauty and creativity. He also explores the qualities of numbers from one to thirty-one, explaining how many things have an inherent number attached to them: one sun, two parents, three meals a day, four seasons. \n\nThe practical insights brought together in this book can help the reader become more conscious of their relationship to time and number, allowing them to organise their lives in a harmonious way.\n\nPreviously published as Rhythms of the Week and Other Explorations of Time and The Quality of Numbers 1 to 31.

L'affermazione della democrazia come forma diffusa di organizzazione della vita politica è un fenomeno recente, mentre la storia mostra tutta la fragilità e la vulnerabilità delle istituzioni democratiche. Held ripercorre questa vicenda esaminando i modelli di democrazia elaborati dal pensiero occidentale a partire dalla Grecia classica fino ai nostri giorni.
