“Wealth without work Pleasure without conscience Science without humanity Knowledge without character Politics without principle Commerce without morality Worship without sacrifice. https://vidjambov.blogspot.com/2023/01/book-inventory-vladimir-djambov-talmach.html Feeling that there was not the slightest hope of falling asleep, he quietly went down from the balcony, deciding to go out onto the road to the station and blot himself, to walk three miles. But he stopped in the courtyard: warm dusk, sweet silence, the milky whiteness of the sky from innumerable small stars ... He walked around the courtyard, stopped again, raised his head: the starry departing deeper and deeper, and there was some terrible black and blue darkness, where there were failures in something ... and calm, silence, incomprehensible, great desert, lifeless and aimless beauty of the world ... the silent, eternal religiosity of the night ... and he alone, face to face with all this, in the abyss between heaven and earth ... He began to pray without words about some heavenly mercy, about someone’s self-pity, with bitter joy feeling his connection with heaven and already some detachment from himself, from his body ... Then, trying to keep these feelings in himself, looked at the house: the stars are reflected in a flattened brilliance in the black glass of the windows - and in the glass of her window ... Sleeping or lying, in a dumb numbness of the same thought about Titov! Yes, that’s her turn ... /// For, according to legend, Hosea made the prophet a family sorrow: Homer was just a girl, and he was no longer young; he was chaste, thoughtful, sad, and despite her childhood, she was an immense harlot.

Publisher: Anchor
ISBN: 1101974664
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
Widely acclaimed as Naguib Mahfouz's best novel, Midaq Alley brings to life one of the hustling, teeming back alleys of Cairo in the 1940s. From Zaita the cripple-maker to Kirsha the hedonistic cafe owner, from Abbas the barber who mistakes greed for love to Hamida who sells her soul to escape the alley, from waiters and widows to politicians, pimps, and poets, the inhabitants of Midaq Alley vividly evoke Egypt's largest city as it teeters on the brink of change. Never has Nobel Prize-winner Mahfouz's talent for rich and luxurious storytelling been more evident than here, in his portrait of one small street as a microcosm of the world on the threshold of modernity.

The Encyclopedia of Louisville
Author: John E. Kleber
Publisher: University Press of Kentucky
ISBN: 0813149746
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 1029
Book Description
With more than 1,800 entries, The Encyclopedia of Louisville is the ultimate reference for Kentucky's largest city. For more than 125 years, the world's attention has turned to Louisville for the annual running of the Kentucky Derby on the first Saturday in May. Louisville Slugger bats still reign supreme in major league baseball. The city was also the birthplace of the famed Hot Brown and Benedictine spread, and the cheeseburger made its debut at Kaelin's Restaurant on Newburg Road in 1934. The "Happy Birthday" had its origins in the Louisville kindergarten class of sisters Mildred Jane Hill and Patty Smith Hill. Named for King Louis XVI of France in appreciation for his assistance during the Revolutionary War, Louisville was founded by George Rogers Clark in 1778. The city has been home to a number of men and women who changed the face of American history. President Zachary Taylor was reared in surrounding Jefferson County, and two U.S. Supreme Court Justices were from the city proper. Second Lt. F. Scott Fitzgerald, stationed at Camp Zachary Taylor during World War I, frequented the bar in the famous Seelbach Hotel, immortalized in The Great Gatsby. Muhammad Ali was born in Louisville and won six Golden Gloves tournaments in Kentucky.

Your Destiny Is in Your Hands
Author: Michael Cooper DTM
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN:
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 327
Book Description
It is said that by thought, we attract the thing. By taking action, we receive the thing. We decide what our thoughts should be. As a man thinks in his heart, so is he (Prov. 23:7). The book encourages us to think using the mind of God (Phil 2:5). Thinking with the mind of God makes success inevitable because God knows all things. The book encourages readers to let go of many things, including the past. But to never give up on the power of believing in oneself. Readers are encouraged to allow their higher self to control the inner conversations. Many people rent out their mind to sources void of credibility but get no compensation in return. Furthermore, they have no “rental clause” to protect them from their mind being highjacked. More often than not, even if their mind is returned to them, it is under the control of envy, jealousy, fear, worry, and “can’t do.” Before the mind is returned to its original owner, it would have forged an intimate relationship with “lack,” “procrastination,” and “the past.” Who is controlling your mind?

The Essential Brunswik
Author: Kenneth R. Hammond
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 9780198029823
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 562
Book Description
Egon Brunswik is one of the most brilliant, creative and least understood and appreciated psychologists/philosophers of the 20th century. This book presents a collection of Brunswik's most important papers together with interpretive comments by prominent scholars who explain the intent and development of his thought. This collection and the accompanying diverse examples of the application of his ideas will encourage a deeper understanding of Brunswik in the 21st century than was the case in the 20th century. The 21st century already shows signs of acceptance of Brunswikian thought with the appearance of psychologists with a different focus; emulation of physical science is of less importance, and positive contributions toward understanding behavior outside the laboratory without abandoning rigor are claiming more notice. As a result, Brunswik's theoretical and methodological views are already gaining the attention denied them in the 20th century. The plan of this book is to provide, for the first time, in one place the articles that show the origins of his thought, with all their imaginative and creative spirit, as well as thoughtful, scholarly interpretations of the development, meaning and application of his ideas to modern psychology. Thus, his views will become more understandable and more widely disseminated, as well as advanced through the fresh meaning given to them by the psychologists of the 21st century.

An Ambush of Years
Author: J.A. Enfield
Publisher: Wayzgoose Press
ISBN:
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
Mick Conway is tired of mourning his mom and wondering when his dad will finally come home. He’s tired of moving to live with yet another aunt or uncle and having to change schools and friends each time he moves. And, as much as he loves his baby sister Emilia, he might be a little less tired if somebody else would take a turn getting her back to sleep at night. He isn’t tired of electricity, functional sewer systems, or a world with some respect for the laws of physics. But he doesn’t realize how much he cherishes those things until he’s mysteriously dropped somewhere that doesn’t have any of them—though it does have time travel, faceless interlopers skulking in the shadows, and somebody with a sinister plan that could prove deadly. Can Mick help thwart that plan? And can he do so without giving up on getting back home?

Sexual Harassment
Author: Linda LeMoncheck
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers
ISBN: 0585116989
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 251
Book Description
The question of what constitutes sexual harassment—from suggestive remarks to outright threats, from off-color jokes to lewd posters on office walls—is contentious, as is the question of how to address sexual harassment. Do all instances of sexual harassment constitute sex discrimination? Are some instances merely sexual attraction gone wrong? Do social policies aimed at eliminating sexual harassment in the workplace violate freedom of expression or do they make working relationships possible between women and men? In this uncompromising yet respectful debate, two philosophers of widely divergent views present clear arguments and then respond directly to each other's reasoning. LeMonchek argues for a feminist perspective on sexual harassment that is sensitive to the politics of gender. Hajdin contends that this perspective is both morally confusing and legally problematic, and that sexual harassment can be better addressed by traditional moral and legal categories.
