Ak Môj bracho je magor, nečudo, že dôjde k odvete a vo štvrtej časti voľného pokračovania humorných príbehov z rodín s dospievajúcimi deťmi, príde na rad aj sestra. Že ktorá? Možno aj tá vaša. V knižke je to dvanásťročná Vanda, ktorú jej deväťročný brat Kubo nenazve inak ako vzducholoď. Tí dvaja sa neustále doberajú, robia si napriek, no keď príde na lámanie chleba, dýchali by jeden za druhého aj žiabrami. Vtipné situácie v knižke Mojej sestre šibe zažívajú súrodenci v škole, na ihrisku, medzi kamarátmi, ale hlavne so starými rodičmi z otcovej i maminej strany. Babka Berta a babka Sidónia sú svojrázne a vnúčatká by zjedli od lásky, no občas dokážu byť prehnane a podľa detí hlavne zbytočne prísne. Zato dedovia Ferdinand a písali ho ako Vincenca namiesto Vincenta, si robia žarty zo všetkého. A tak nečudo, že v rodine Vandy a Kubka to len tak iskrí. Úspešnú trilógiu Našej mame hrabe, Nášmu tatovi preplo a Môj bracho je magor (kniha získala ocenenie Panta Rhei Awards v kategórii Mládežnícka kniha roka 2020) - doplní rovnako s láskou k deťom a príznačným humorným perom autorky aj štvrtý diel – Mojej sestre šibe. Komu preskakuje v skutočnosti, sa dozviete pri čítaní knižky, ktorú ilustrovala Jana Homolová.

Příběh Kateřiny Howardové, páté manželky krále Jindřicha VIII., je jedním z nejtragičtějších v anglických dějinách. Dívenka sotva odrostlá dětským střevíčkům, kterou ke dvoru přivedla její ctižádostivá rodina, okouzlila krále svými půvaby a krásou. Uměla zpívat, nádherně tančila, milovala dvorské slavnosti, a když se s ní stárnoucí král dychtivý dědice roku 1540 oženil, plnými doušky si užívala svého privilegovaného postavení. Kdyby mu porodila syna, byl by její triumf dokonalý. Zamilovaný Jindřich se nad ní rozplýval a všem na potkání opakoval, že Kateřina je jeho slunce, jeho růže bez trnů. V její minulosti však byly stíny, o kterých neměl tušení, a ta minulost se Kateřině čím dál nebezpečněji připomínala. A přece si dívka nemohla pomoci a stále znovu si zahrávala s ohněm. Král se tak měl poučit, že ti, kdo trhají růže bez trnů, musí počítat s tím, že se spálí.

Význam starého, dnes již neexistujícího chebského letiště pro naši leteckou historii daleko přesahuje západočeský region. Vzniklo ještě za 1. světové války, jako vůbec první stálé vojenské letiště v Českých zemích. Aviatikům habsburské monarchie ale nesloužilo dlouho.A zpočátku se zdálo, že valné perspektivy jej nečekají ani v nové republice. Na vině byla jeho nevýhodná geografická poloha i s tím související fakt, že šlo o krajinu plnou živlů republice nepřátelských. Přesto však v meziválečném období nakonec sloužilo nejen jako základna bojových jednotek, ale především jako významné centrum leteckého výcviku československého letectva, svého času dokonce jediné. V té době na něm nacházíme téměř všechny typy letadel, které brázdily oblohu nad Československem ty domácí i četné zahraniční. A také snad všechny významné i dnes již zapomenuté aviatiky, kteří pomáhali psát historii tehdejší zlaté éry letectví.Převážně k výcvikovým a pomocným účelům pak letiště používala také německá Luftwaffe a nakonec se zde formovaly i letecké jednotky Ruské osvobozenecké armády. Přestože koncem 2. světové války bylo staré chebské letiště americkými leteckými útoky prakticky úplně zničeno, v naší letecké historii má své pevné a trvalé místo.O tom všem, a nejen o tom je tato bohatě obrazově vypravená kniha (programově se však nevěnuje historii nového chebského letiště, vybudovaného spolu s leteckou továrnou v dobách okupace, což je téma na speciální monografii). Přestože se po obsahové stránce zabývá všemi třemi dekády existence starého chebského letiště, akcentuje především první roky jeho budování a fungování, což dosud představovalo určitý dluh naší letecké historiografie.Totéž se do jisté míry týká i kapitol věnovaných jeho fungování v meziválečném období a v časech 2. světové války, jejíž dramatický závěr ve svých důsledcích učinil tečku za existencí nejstaršího stálého vojenského letiště na našem území. Ve srovnání s kapitolami o nejstarší chebské letecké historii jde totiž o problematiku již podstatně známější z řady jiných pojednání jak o meziválečném čs. letectvu, tak o historii letecké války nad českým územím. Jistou kompenzací za tuto určitou asymetrii budiž podstatně rozsáhlejší a informativnější obrazový doprovod, dokumentující aviatiky a letadla zlaté éry československého letectví. Mezi více než 800 snímky byly zařazeny buď dosud nepublikované, nebo kdysi zveřejněné, ale nyní zpravidla v lepší kvalitě většinou v charakteristických místních kulisách, jimiž dominuje nezaměnitelná řada osmi chebských hangárů.

Nabokovovo vrcholné dílo je románem o posedlosti a šílenství. Vypráví mrazivý příběh člověka, jehož život se postupně proměňuje v sled šachových kombinací. Geniální Lužin je věčné dítě, duševně nevyrovnaný samotář, který se k šachům uchýlí, protože mu poskytují pocit bezpečí. Jenže figurky na čtyřiašedesáti polích Lužinovi postupně nahrazují realitu až do té míry, že není schopen odlišit svůj život od hry. Během náročného turnaje se nervově zhroutí, nakrátko se octne v léčebně a poté si vezme ženu, která je posedlá nutkavou touhou zabránit mu v návratu k šachovnici… V románu, napsaném v roce 1929, najdeme mnohá z autorových základních témat: nespolehlivost paměti a smyslového vnímání, osudovou a zničující vášeň i snahu proniknout do podstaty ruské identity v období po masovém exodu vyvolaném bolševickou revolucí. Lužinova obrana je dokladem Nabokovova vypravěčského a stylizačního mistrovství, jehož kvality naplno vynikají díky novému překladu Pavla Dominika.

Ve své nejnovější knize se bývalý americký prezident podrobně zabývá předsudky, diskriminací, násilím, zkresleným výkladem náboženských textů (Bible, Koránu a dalších), fyzickým a duševním týráním, chudobou, nemocemi a válkami z hlediska ženské nerovnosti, existující dnes na celém světě. Carter ukazuje, že muži sice s tímto stavem věcí mnohdy nesouhlasí, ale mlčí, aby si zachovali dominantní postavení. Jimmy Carter navštívil se svou ženou Rosalynn 145 zemí světa a společně založili neziskovou organizaci The Carter Center, která aktivně působí v polovině z nich. Měl příležitost seznámit se s lidmi z často velmi odlehlých vesnic v džunglích i pouštích. Dozvěděl se mnoho z jejich osobního života, zvláště to, že nerovnost mezi pohlavími roste stále rychleji a platí to stejnou měrou pro země bohaté i chudé. Carter si sice uvědomuje, že ekonomická nerovnost ve světě představuje čím dál větší problém, ale zároveň již dospěl k pevnému přesvědčení, že nejvážnějším a všeobecně opomíjeným problémem se celosvětově staly deprivace a týrání žen i dívek, jež převážně povstaly z falešného výkladu některých náboženských textů a rostoucí tolerance vůči násilí a válkám – podle jeho slov naneštěstí tento příklad světu poskytly samotné Spojené státy americké. Carter zdůrazňuje, že kromě velkého utrpení žen, o němž se téměř nemluví, tu je i zničující dopad na ekonomiku v důsledku toho, že k prosperitě nemůže přispět nejméně polovina lidské populace na Zemi.

Předkládaný výbor představuje literárního kritika a překladatele Josefa Vohryzka (1926–1998) jako kritického myslitele o povaze komunistického režimu, o české a slovenské společnosti ve společném státě a po jeho rozpadu, o vztahu silnějšího a slabšího, většiny a (romské a židovské) menšiny.Kniha je členěna do čtyř oddílů. První tvoří texty o společnosti a politice před rokem 1989 a po sesunu komunistického režimu. Úvodní esej přibližuje životní pocit nestraníka během pražského jara 1968, úvahy psané během tzv. normalizace pro samizdatové sborníky nebo periodika se zabývají faktickými možnostmi Charty 77, mechanikou soudního šikanování a významem nezávislých občanských iniciativ, a stati z první poloviny devadesátých let pojednávají o vztazích k nově se formující moci, o rozpadu federativní republiky, étosu nově vzniklého českého státu a chováním tzv. intelektuálních elit při všech těchto momentech.Druhý díl sestává z textů o rasové nesnášenlivosti. Polemika z roku 1968 ukazujemožné sociálních důsledky tehdy chystané federalizace československého státu, kterým se pak věnuje jeden z prvních dokumentů Charty 77 (z roku 1978), v němž je podrobně rozpracováno postavení Romů v tehdejším Československu. Josef Vohryzek připravil pojednání anonymně, text zveřejněný v samizdatu a v exilových publikacích vyšel s podpisy tehdejších mluvčích Charty 77. Úvahy, které na chartovní dokument navazují, pocházejí už z let 1990–1997 a zabývají se vztahem „bílé“ většiny k menšinám a zdroji rasismu, resp. rozdíly ve změnách vzájemných postojů u většinové a menšinové populace.Třetí část přináší texty o knihách, v jejichž prvním plánu figuruje téma politického („třídního“), národnostního a rasového napětí, nesouladu nebo nenávisti. Jsou zde shromážděny Vohryzkovy reflexe nad díly publicistickými (V. Mrštík), memoárovými (M. Bubeníčková-Kuthanová, S. Wiesenthal, G. Konrád) nebo beletristickými (A. Giňa, V. Třešňák, J. Fränkl, Ch. Potok, I. Ferková, I. B. Singer).Závěrečný oddíl zaujímají Vohryzkovy vzpomínky. Vznikly v roce 1991 pro dokumentační potřeby Židovského muzea v Praze, tiskem vyly vydány posmrtně z autorovy literární pozůstalosti v květnu 2000 v časopise Revolver Revue. Autor v nich podrobně vzpomíná na své dětství odvíjející se v pražské židovské neortodoxní rodině (otec byl advokát), na pobyt ve švédském exilu v letech 1940–1950, kam ho rodiče ještě stačili vyslat, než byly hranice pro židovské občany bývalého Československa definitivně uzavřeny, stejně jako na složitou repatriaci v komunistickém Československu padesátých let 20. století, kam se Vohryzek vrátil, zatímco již věděl, že jeho rodina během války zahynula v nacistických vyhlazovacích táborech.Uspořádal, k vydání připravil, komentáře a medailon napsal Michael Špirit

BOOK OF THE WEEK ON BBC RADIO 4PRIMETIME BBC2 DOCUMENTARY WITH JEREMY PAXMANOn a dark night in Provence in December 1888 Vincent van Gogh cut off his ear. It is an act that has come to define him. Yet for more than a century biographers and historians seeking definitive facts about what happened that night have been left with more questions than answers.In Van Gogh’s Ear Bernadette Murphy sets out to discover exactly what happened that night in Arles. Why would an artist at the height of his powers commit such a brutal act? Who was the mysterious ‘Rachel’ to whom he presented his macabre gift? Was it just his lobe, or did Van Gogh really cut off his entire ear? Her investigation takes us from major museums to the dusty contents of forgotten archives, vividly reconstructing the world in which Van Gogh moved – the madams and prostitutes, café patrons and police inspectors, his beloved brother Theo and his fellow artist and house-guest Paul Gauguin. With exclusive revelations and new research about the ear and about ‘Rachel’, Bernadette Murphy proposes a bold new hypothesis about what was occurring in Van Gogh’s heart and mind as he made a mysterious delivery to her doorstep that fateful night.Van Gogh’s Ear is a compelling detective story and a journey of discovery. It is also a portrait of a painter creating his most iconic and revolutionary work, pushing himself ever closer to greatness even as he edged towards madness – and one fateful sweep of the blade that would resonate through the ages.

Svět zvířat je úchvatnou součástí přírody a nám lidem je blízký tím, že jej tvoří živí tvorové. Rádi sledujeme jejich život, jak se chovají a jak si dokážou inteligentně poradit v nejrůznějších zapeklitých situacích. Právě o tom vypráví tato zábavná a vtipná knížka, jejímž autorem je populární německý zoolog a propagátor přírody Mario Ludwig (nar. 1957). Zaměřil se na speciální fígle a triky, jež naši zvířecí spoluobyvatelé používají, aby se vypořádali s nástrahami prostředí a života. Z nich vybral přehršli skutečných zoologických lahůdek, například jaktože tučňáci nezmrznou, proč mormonští kobyláci dávají přednost buclatým partnerkám, čím to, že gekoni dokážou běhat po stropě, jak se raci přečůrávají, o rybkách, které se dorozumívají prděním nebo o kuriozní opičí kratochvíli – šermu penisem. Celkem na stopadesát poutavých historek o zvířecím důmyslu, které svéráznými humornými ilustracemi doprovodil proslulý kreslíř Jan Gulbransson (nar. 1949), tvůrce mnoha kreslených seriálů a filmů, zařazený do Síně slávy Walta Disneyho. Jejich společná knížka je netradičním a osvěživým výletem do mnohotvárné přírody, potěší, poučí a pobaví všechny bez rozdílu věku a vzdělání.

",A powerful story of social realities, pressures, and the fracturing of traditional structures.",-Ruth Goodman, Wall Street Journal Nineteenth century Britain saw remarkable economic growth and a rise in real wages. But not everyone shared in the nation's wealth. Unable to earn a sufficient income themselves, working-class women were reliant on the 'breadwinner wage' of their husbands.When income failed, or was denied or squandered by errant men, families could be plunged into desperate poverty from which there was no escape. Emma Griffin unlocks the homes of Victorian England to examine the lives - and finances - of the people who lived there. Drawing on over 600 working-class autobiographies, including more than 200 written by women, Bread Winner changes our understanding of daily life in Victorian Britain.

Světově známý polský filozof a politolog ve své originální knize poukazuje na řadu předsudků, lží a pověr, jež si u nás donedávna činily nárok na výsadní postavení.

Potom čo ich okradli o všetko sú mág, bojovník, elf a trpaslík nútení ukradnúť si vybavenie potrebné na ďalšie dobrodružstvo v obchodnom dome Magic Maze. Dohodli sa, že najprv preskúmajú labyrint chodieb v obchodnom dome, potom si nájdu každý svoj obľúbený obchod a nájdu východ. Aby sa vyhli strážnikom, ktorí si ich už pri príchode podozrievavo prezerali, všetky štyri lúpeže spáchajú zároveň a hneď ujdú k východu. Plán je dohodnutý, ale podarí sa im ho splniť a ukradnúť potrebné veci? Hrdinové bez záruky (Magic Maze) je kooperatívna hra, v ktorej hráči hrajú súčasne. Každý hráč môže ovládať ktoréhokoľvek panáčika a urobiť s ním akciu, ktorú nijaký iný hráč urobiť nemôže. Napríklad jeden hráč môže hýbať panáčikmi smerom na sever, ďalší objavuje nové chodby obchodného domu, iný vie použiť eskalátor... Všetky tieto ťahy si však vyžadujú majstrovskú spoluprácu medzi hráčmi, aby sa panáčiky dostali kam majú. Má to však háčik! Počas hry sa môžete rozprávať len krátky čas, zvyšok hry musíte hrať bez toho, aby ste spoluhráčom čokoľvek naznačili slovne alebo hoci neverbálne. Ak sa vám podarí odísť z obchodného domu za čas, ktorý vám hra určuje, s ukradnutými predmetmi bez toho, aby vás chytili, všetci vyhrávate. Na začiatku hry máte k dispozícii len 3 minúty. Viac času môžete získať ak stúpite na políčka s presýpacími hodinami. Ak sa vám presype všetok piesok v presýpacích hodinách, všetci prehrávate: príliš dlho ste sa až priveľmi nenápadne motali po obchodnom dome, čo bolo podozrivé ochranke a tá vás vyprevadila von! Aby bola zábava o to väčšia, hra ponúka rôzne úrovne náročnosti, od východov, cez ktoré môže ujsť len konkrétny panáčik, posúvanie vašich kariet s akciami v smere hodinových ručičiek, špeciálnych schopností jednotlivých panáčikov až po lepšie zabezpečené chodby obchodného domu.

Český čtenář má poprvé příležitost podrobněji nahlédnout do nesmírně zajímavé historie jedné z nejmocnějších panovnických dynastií Evropy, která vládla ve Francii, v několika italských státech a od roku 1700 také ve Španělsku, kde s krátkými přestávkami vládne dodnes. Autor postupuje chronologicky, své líčení začíná nástupem Filipa V. na španělský královský trůn v době, kdy ve Francii vládne mocný a obdivovaný Ludvík IV., Filipův dědeček a zároveň jeho nejlepší rádce. A knihu uzavírá kapitolou věnovanou současnému monarchovi Juanu Carlosovi I., který byl prohlášen králem deset dní po smrti diktátora Franka a ve Španělsku, do té doby v politické izolaci, nastolil demokratické reformy a zemi výrazně napomohl k ekonomickému a kulturnímu rozkvětu. Kniha je ilustrována černobí-lými reprodukcemi dobových obrazů a fotografiemi.

She spent her life on the margins, knowing very little about her own life, let alone the lives of others she was shot like a pinball through a childhood of loss, a veteran of Child Protective Services and a survivor, but always reacting, watching from a distance. Death brings her into the hearts and minds of those she has known--even her killer--as she is able to access their memories and to see anew the meaning of her own. In the course of these pages she traces back through her life, finally able to see what led these lost souls to this crushingly inevitable conclusion. pIn iA Tiny Upward Shovei, the debut novelist Melissa Chadburn charts the heartbreaking journeys of two of society's cast-offs as they find their way to each other and their roles as criminal and victim. What does it mean to be on the brink When are those moments that change not only our lives but our very selves And to what lengths will we go for mercyp

This work was first published in 1692, and makes for a great read still today both in addressing false teaching and in promoting the positive Reformation view of justification by faith alone in Jesus Christ and His imputed righteousness. This is one of the best works ever written on the subject. Here the central theme of the Christian gospel and the sure ground of the believer's hope is expounded with profound scriptural clarity. How the churches of today would benefit if pastors would preach this doctrine in contemporary dress as thoroughly, polemically, and winsomely as Keach did in his own day. Dr. Joel R. Beeke

iGermans into Jewsi turns to an often overlooked and misunderstood period of German and Jewish history-the years between the world wars. It has been assumed that the Jewish community in Germany was in decline during the Weimar Republic. But, Sharon Gillerman demonstrates that Weimar Jews sought to rejuvenate and reconfigure their community as a means both of strengthening the German nation and of creating a more expansive and autonomous Jewish entity within the German state. These ambitious projects to increase fertility, expand welfare, and strengthen the family transcended the ideological and religious divisions that have traditionally characterized Jewish communal life. Integrating Jewish history, German history, gender history, and social history, this book highlights the experimental and contingent nature of efforts by Weimar Jews to reassert a new Jewish particularism while simultaneously reinforcing their commitment to Germanness.

Which language should philosophers use technical or common language In a book as important for intellectual historians as it is for philosophers, Lodi Nauta addresses a vital question which still has resonance today is the discipline of philosophy assisted or disadvantaged by employing a special vocabulary By the Middle Ages philosophy had become a highly technical discipline, with its own lexicon and methods. The Renaissance humanist critique of this specialised language has been dismissed as philosophically superficial, but the author demonstrates that it makes a crucial point it is through the misuse of language that philosophical problems arise. He charts the influence of this critique on early modern philosophers, including Hobbes and Locke, and shows how it led to the downfall of medieval Aristotelianism and the gradual democratization of language and knowledge. His book will be essential reading for anyone interested in the transition from medieval to modern philosophy.

In this collection, world-renowned scholars of Bolshevism and world communism analyze the human costs of the Bolshevik Revolution, its contribution to the spread of totalitarianism, and the responses it inspired among American and Western intellectuals. Together, their essays constitute a profound refusal of the poesy of totalitarianism that is based on sober research and detailed analysis of the limits of utopian politics and the dangers of cruel ideologies based in the cosmetic aesthetic of moral perfectionism and lyric intoxication. This study provides an accurate and succinct depiction of the nature of Bolshevism and its consequences in light of several decades of research, including former Soviet archival materials and American intelligence such as the Venona files.

This is the first ever study to address Jewish forced labor in the General Government Poland during the Holocaust, and its consequences on the Nazi regime. A fascinating book about mutual dependence of economics and warfare during one of the most difficult periods in human history.

pFollowing Franois Laruelle's nonstandard philosophy and the work of Judith Butler, Drucilla Cornell, Luce Irigaray, and Rosi Braidotti, Katerina Kolozova reclaims the relevance of categories traditionally rendered unthinkable by postmodern feminist philosophies, such as the real, the one, the limit, and finality, thus critically repositioning poststructuralist feminist philosophy and genderqueer studies.ppPoststructuralist feminist theory sees the subject as a purely linguistic category, as emalways alreademy multiple, as emalways alreadyem nonfixed and fluctuating, as limitless discursivity, and as constitutively detached from the instance of the real. This reconceptualization is based on the exclusion of and dichotomous opposition to notions of the real, the one unity and continuity, and the stable. The non-philosophical reading of postructuralist philosophy engenders new forms of universalisms for global debate and action, expressed in a language the world can understand. It also liberates theory from ideological paralysis, recasting the real as an immediately experienced human condition determined by gender, race, and social and economic circumstance.p

In this Old West tale of deceit, revenge, and greed, full of scoundrels, rogues, and desperadoes on a lawless frontier, John Barton learns what it takes to become a man. Chasing his boyhood dream of staking his claim in the Mauvaises Terres, the Badlands of the Dakota Territory, John Barton comes face to face with the undeniable truth that the only winners in life are those willing to take their destiny into their own hands. Signing on to a cattle drive to the Dakota Territory, he is duped into taking part in a dangerous cattle-rustling foray deep into Mexico. Unable to turn back, he fights to survive in a life-or-death struggle during a grueling cattle drive, beset by violent storms, renegade Indians, and men seeking revenge. Finally staking his claim, he confronts the deeper meaning of his lifelong quest and of the mysterious spiritual roots of a land and its people that will forever lie somewhere beyond the horizon.

This volume explores the primitive yet complex emotional world of the baby, a preverbal world that predates memory, symbolic representation, self-reflection, and verbal description. Author Ivri Kumin describes the impact of early relational experiences on the foundation of emotional living, when traumatic developmental interferences can disrupt the infant's emerging capacity for representational thought. Using detailed clinical examples, he explains how these early experiences are enacted within the psychoanalytic situation and how their analysis and mediation enable the patient to think about and emotionally encompass these states for the first time. pMultidisciplinary in his approach, the author integrates infant observational studies and attachment theory with psychoanalytic developmental perspectives. He explores the core concepts of the three major psychoanalytic theories signal anxiety ego psychology, projective identification object relations theory, and affect attunement self psychology, and explains the unity of their underlying modes of action on the basis of contemporary infant research. The book then applies its understanding of early relatedness to a wide variety of psychoanalytic issues of both theoretical and clinical importance. pPart I of the volume examines the basic language of primary relatedness. Topics covered include early attachment, precursors of internalized object relationships, signal anxiety, and environmental mediation. Chapters in Part II discuss affect transmission, the nature of emotional exchanges in the psychoanalytic situation, fields of identity, creation of representability, and the psychoanalytic mediation of primitive emotional states. Part III addresses pathology, including in-depth examinations of disturbances of pre-object relatedness, ambivalent and avoidant relatedness, the repetition compulsion, trauma and enactment, and the effect of incorrect interpretations. pSynthesizing empirical findings with theore

emAverroes on Intellectem provides a detailed analysis of the Muslim philosopher Averroes Ibn Rushd's notorious unicity thesis -- the view that there is only one separate and eternal intellect for all human beings. It focuses directly on Averroes' arguments, both from the text of Aristotle's emDe Animaem and, more importantly, his own philosophical arguments in the emLong Commentary on the De Animaem. pStephen Ogden defends Averroes' interpretation of emDe Animaem using a combination of Greek, Arabic, Latin, and contemporary sources. Yet, Ogden also insists that Averroes is not merely a 'commentator' but an incisive philosopher in his own right. The author thus reconstructs and analyzes Averroes' two most significant independent philosophical arguments, the Determinate Particular Argument and the Unity Argument. Alternative ancient and medieval views are also considered throughout, especially from two important foils before and after Averroes, namely, Avicenna Ibn Sina and Thomas Aquinas. Aquinas' most famous and penetrating arguments against the unicity thesis are also addressed. Finally, Ogden considers Averroes' own objections to broader metaphysical views of the soul like Avicenna's and Aquinas', which agree with him on several key points including the immateriality of the intellect and the individuation of human souls by matter, while still diverging on the number and substantialbrnature of the intellect. pThe central goal of this book is to provide readers with a single study of Averroes' most pivotal arguments on intellect, consolidating and building on recent scholarship and offering a comprehensive case for his unicity thesis in the wider context of Aristotelian epistemology and metaphysics.br

pFrom climbing trees and making dens, to building sandcastles and pond-dipping, many of the activities we associate with a happy childhood take place outdoors. And yet, the reality for many contemporary children is very different. The studies tell us that we are raising a generation who are so alienated from nature that they can't identify the commonest birds or plants, they don't know where their food comes from, they are shuttled between home, school and the shops and spend very little time in green spaces - let alone roaming free. pIn this timely and personal book, celebrated nature writer Patrick Barkham draws on his own experience as a parent and a forest school volunteer to explore the relationship between children and nature. Unfolding over the course of a year of snowsuits, muddy wellies, and sunhats, iWild Childi is both an intimate story of children finding their place in natural world, and a celebration of the delight we can all find in even modest patches of green.p
