The Knowledge of Good and Evil
Author: David Murdoch
Publisher: Strategic Book Publishing
ISBN: 1608608476
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
At the time of Norway's original conversion to Christianity, two missionaries stumble upon the spiritual lesson of a lifetime. The missionaries find themselves in the company of a wise old man, who was one of the original converts to Christianity in Norway. In the form of an intelligent Socratic dialogue, the three men converse about ideas the missionaries had never before considered. The dialogue that unfolds goes deeply into exploring human sinfulness, judgment, and moral precepts. As the old man tries to explain to his audience, right and wrong - as purported to be from God's eyes - is not a true judgment, but only a mere imitation of people. The men slowly open up themselves to life-changing revelations. A deeply theological work, The Knowledge of Good and Evil may bring readers, even if they do not understand the main thesis, to a greater understanding of the law, judgment, punishment and morality, while revealing God's love through all of them. David Murdoch is a convert to the Roman Catholic faith and the author of the novel Ana Markovic. In addition to being a writer, he is also a historical researcher and a part-time taste tester for a large grocery store chain. He lives in Toronto, Canada.

Book Description
Seriemördare härjar bland Malmös utslagna En iskall vinter har lamslagit Malmö. Journalisten Leyla Abdallah ska snart återgå till jobbet på morgontidningen efter sin mammaledighet när hon får ett erbjudande som hon inte kan tacka nej till. Stiftelsen Vitanova driver ett lovordat kvinnohärbärge och ger henne fria händer att skriva en bok om stadens hemlösa och utslagna. Leyla blir djupt engagerad i projektet. När en känd heroinist hittas död i sin knarkarkvart avskriver polisen det som en överdos. Men Leyla misstänker att något annat ligger bakom. Snart påträffas en uteliggare död, med en makaber dikt skriven i sin panna, och det står klart att en seriemördare härjar i staden. Dikten aviserar fler mord och polisen tvekar inte att dra igång en omfattande mördarjakt mitt i julruschen. Samtidigt kämpar Leyla på sitt håll mot klockan för att stoppa förövaren. Till slut står hon öga mot öga med mördaren. Av jord är du kommen är en spännande kriminalroman om utsatthet, svek och hämnd. Den skildrar hur gamla mönster av brott mot kvinnor och barn upprepar sig, och vad som kan hända när någon bestämmer sig för att bryta den kedjan. Boken är en fristående fortsättning på Låt barnen komma till mig som Forum gav ut år 2008. Här har huvudpersonen Leyla Abdallah fått sonen Viktor och flyttat ihop med sin svenskfödde pojkvän Tom. Men familjelyckan grusas av att Leylas irakiske pappa i Rosengård inte kan acceptera Tom och vägrar att träffa den lilla familjen.

Category : Social Science

Pages : 198
Book Description
Gender in Hispanic Literature and Visual Arts provides an interdisciplinary and multicultural perspective on gender within Hispanic film and literature. The contributors analyze the relationship between the historical and social contexts of various Hispanic countries—including Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Mexico, Peru, Puerto Rico, Spain, and Uruguay—and the effects of their contexts on their representations of gender. This book examines gender-based violence, transvestism, lesbianism, (mis)representation, indigenism, dissent, identity, and voice as a means of better understanding the meaning and implications of gender within the diversity of people and cultures that comprise the Hispanic world.

Brunet Saunier Architecture
Author: Pascale Blin
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter
ISBN: 3034610904
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Founded in 1981 in Paris, Brunet Saunier Architecture is a French leader in the design of hospitals and large-scale public buildings. This publication is much more than a monograph. It is also a professional reference work, as hospital buildings make up a large portion of the showcased projects. Over the last ten years the architectural office has been developing a successful concept known as “Monospace”. The book discusses and analyzes this concept in detail, presenting trueto- scale floor plans, cross-sections, architectural views, and other information. The Monospace concept – which is based on a process of creative reduction down to essentials, i.e. “simplexity” – is adaptive rather than normative or prescriptive, and based on probabilities rather than determinism. It respects energy, even when it sometimes uses it. It takes the individual’s experience into account, and starts from the position of the subject. It also permits changing perspectives. This design concept should attract attention far beyond the borders of France.

Book Description
Young Researchers' meetings are held annually late in December since 2002 and they are organized by the Materials Research Society of Serbia. Originally conceived as seminars, since 2007 these meetings were transformed into conferences. The previous meetings featured presentations based on the research of various young scientists from Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Slovenia, Brazil, Germany, United States of America, China, Poland, Belgium, Spain, Romania, United Kingdom, Austria, Italy, Hungary, Russia, Canada, etc. At the Conference, young researchers, students of doctoral, master and undergraduate studies, are given the opportunity to make an overview of their research into materials science and engineering through oral and poster presentations. As for the scientific content of the conference, we have given full priority to research topics that are currently considered as being on the frontier of the field. Nanotechnology and Advanced Materials, Synthesis and Engineering of Biomaterials, Application of Biomaterials, Theoretical Modeling of Materials and Advanced Methods for Synthesis and Processing present only some of those exciting topics that will be given the central stage and most attention during this meeting. The Twelfth Young Researchers' Conference Materials Science and Engineering was held in Belgrade, Serbia on December 11-13, 2013.

ISBN: 1527538583
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 553
Book Description
The book provides a summary of 30 countries’ epidemiological profiles on tooth eruption and hard dental tissue anomalies. It opens with a chapter that introduces readers to the entire gamut of anomalies associated with tooth eruption, and dental tissue development and its associated anomalies. This is followed by a chapter that discusses dental development and its association with life history, brain development, and sexual maturity, as well as population differences in tooth development. There is also a contribution that extensively addresses teething and associated myths and misconception, while another considers non-syndromic causes of dental anomalies. The book ends with a chapter that maps what we currently know and what still remains to be studied.
