La oración vocal, la meditación y la contemplación son los tres modos de orar mencionados en el Catecismo de la Iglesia católica. El primero acude a fórmulas hechas. El segundo se ejercita cuando buscamos una respuesta de Dios a una cuestión difícil, o cuando formulamos un propósito o hacemos examen de conciencia. El autor ofrece recorridos por el tercer modo: cuando, tal vez en un atardecer y en una iglesia vacía y silenciosa, el alma se siente invadida de una paz profunda al advertir la cercanía de Dios.Ofrece para ello algunos recursos pedagógicos, consciente de que, como siempre, la acción corresponde al Espíritu Santo, que lleva el alma hasta Jesucristo.

Alma Nel leaves her home on the edge of the Kalahari to retrieve the body of her gay son in Amsterdam. Driven by guilt and grief, she resolves to reconstruct Staal's life and the events leading up to his death, undertaking a bizarre quest in a strange and surreal world. Guided by a coke-dealing Rastafarian, Alma opens a psychedelic can of worms, meeting many of Staal's friends and acquaintances - scissor queens, leather men, rent boys, daredevils. But not everyone is sympathetic towards Alma, and some of Staal's friends would prefer to keep their secret histories hidden in the darkrooms of the night. As her quest progresses, Alma discovers that a mysterious stranger is several steps ahead of her, trying to put together the pieces of the puzzle. The mysterious stranger turns out to be Staal's friend Remco de Heer, the accident-prone leading man from Six Fang Marks and a Tetanus Shot. Rem seeks Staal's help after fleeing from his brother's attic at the end of Six Fang Marks and a Tetanus Shot. Now Rem descends into the underworld again to find Staal's rent-boy lover Janusz, who was with him the night he died. Rem is driven by the need to know whether his malignant accident-proneness played any part in Staal's death. The Big Stick is poignant, comical, suspenseful and (strangely) sexy. Two telling compliments from Dutch reviewers give us a snapshot of their reactions: "Characters I'd love to meet in the flesh" and "How can a straight author write so accurately about the gay scene?"

Forgetting is a brief but searing sojourn inside the mind of Alma as she navigates the complexity of the past and future within her identity.On her nighttime wanderings through a Paris saturated with cultural and historical meaning, she begins the slow work of grieving for her grandfather, a Holocaust survivor, and begins to unravel the ways that his experience continues to reverberate across generations.

Griselda "Geez" Zaragoza has a love for beautiful things, like her collection of vintage teacups and the flower garden she and her dad planted in the front yard.

Tagging along with big sister Maribel, who postponed college for a job selling Alma Cosmetics, Geez dreams up a way to reclaim the life she thinks she lost: If she can sell enough tubes of glistening, glittery Alma lip gloss, she'll win a cash prize that could help jump start her dad's business.

In her early twenties, Alma met a tree-planter and fell in love -- not with the man but with his strangely romantic work. Now, after several seasons of planting trees out west, the tough-minded hero of Kathryn Kuitenbrouwer's visceral first novel has come home to northern Ontario to help reforest the ravaged landscape with a gang of filthy ex-hippies and idealistic students. Baking by day in the hot sun and tormented by mosquitoes and blackflies, Alma and her fellow planters relieve their backbreaking toil at night with sex, dope, and alcohol. But her brief passionate affair with a charismatic newcomer named Willem raises the ire of Karl (whose amorous attentions she has deflected in the past), and he viciously rapes her. Pregnant and alone, Alma flees to an abandoned mining camp where she and Willem once made love. There, with the help of the camp's single weird inhabitant, she constructs for herself and her unwanted baby an increasingly ominous new life. Weaving together Alma's story with an ancient Flemish folktale about a peasant girl's magical hold over a lustful count, Kuitenbrouwer links the power of narrative with the passion for self-realization. The Nettle Spinner is a gritty, sensuous debut that portrays sex with startling clarity and violence with peculiar tenderness.

"Cuando apareció, hace veinticinco años, este libro supuso una pequeña revolución liberadora para muchos: en un panorama dominado por la novela experimental, reivindicaba el placer de la ficción llena de aventuras, emociones e imaginación. Celebraba el entusiasmo intacto de la lectura y la ética de la narración, que se adentra en el misterio de nuestros anhelos y recomienda siempre el coraje. Las aventuras en la selva y los viajes interestelares, las pesquisas policiales o los desafíos del salvaje Oeste son masajes que tonifican el alma del lector, porque el alma -como otras medicinas- necesita ser agitada antes de usarla. Por eso, de todos mis libros, sigue siendo éste el que prefiero".Fernando Savater

Cuando la niña Alma Belasco llega a San Francisco huyendo de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, encuentra en la casa de sus tíos la guarida que necesitaba; pero también el amor incondicional de otro niño de su edad, Ichimei, que posee un don especial para las floresA los veintidós años, sospechando que tenían el tiempo contado, Ichimei y Alma se atragantaron de amor para consumirlo entero, pero mientras más intentaban agotarlo, más imprudente era el deseo, y quien diga que todo fuego se apaga solo tarde o temprano, se equivoca: hay pasiones que son incendios hasta que las ahoga el destino de un zarpazo y aun así quedan brasas calientes listas para arder apenas se les da oxígeno.

This comprehensive Handbook sets out the nature and scope of International Human Resource Development (IHRD) to advance our understanding of research and practice in the field. Drawing on expertise from a global team representing some of the field's most distinguished researchers, the Handbook explores a range of contextual, process and people development practice issues impacting IHRD research and practice. Focusing on IHRD as a distinct field of research and practice, the authors offer comprehensive coverage of a number of critical contextual dimensions that shape the IHRD goals that organisations pursue; impact the IHRD systems, policies and practices that are implemented; and influence the types of IHRD research questions that are investigated. The Handbook examines the processes or actions taken by organisations to globalise IHRD practices and discusses important people development practices that come within the scope of IHRD. By bringing together a variety of research strands and engaging in key debates while also acknowledging the emergent, dynamic and constantly evolving nature of the field, the authors of this Handbook have created an invaluable resource for academics, students, professionals and practitioners in IHRD, HRD, HRM, international management, organisational behaviour and leadership.Contributors: M.

Los poemas reunidos en la Luz de la jornada es la obra poética de juventud de Jacinto Rivera de Rosales. Tiene un fuerte aroma del sur, de sus tierras y su mar, acariciados por el viento cálido que recorre los floridos campos, mece las olas de ese mar o se funde con el silencio de la tristeza. Nos regala sus versos de la palabra del alma que arde, la palabra que como un cuchillo recorta la belleza, que convierte todo lo que le rodea en este libro de poemas, donde el alma azul desordenada busca su destino en el horizonte, se pierde en los versos y aleja el dolor en la búsqueda de su sendero entre el sí y el no. El poeta nos abre unas páginas de versos de su vasta aventura interior.

Based on the true story of Alma Rattenbury, who, in 1935, went on trial with her eighteen-year-old lover for the murder of her husband. In the play, Terence Rattigan pits Alma against a formidable lady juror, whose own life offers a plangent counterpoint to the central tale of love, betrayal, guilt and obsession. Published in this edition alongside a major revival of the play at The Old Vic, London, Cause Célèbre was Rattigan's last play and was still running in the West End at the time of his death in 1977. It comes, like the other volumes in NHB's uniform edition of Rattigan's plays, with an authoritative introduction by Rattigan scholar Dan Rebellato. ‘Few dramatists of this century have written with more understanding of the human heart than Terence Rattigan’ - Michael Billington

In der Psalmenforschung hat in den letzten Jahrzehnten überkonfessionell und international eine Neuorientierung stattgefunden: Psalmenexegese wird ergänzt durch Psalterexegese. Dabei wird der Zusammenhang von Intertextualität und der Entstehung des Psalters hervorgehoben, aber auch das Verhältnis des masoretischen Textes zu den Psalmen in Qumran und in der Septuaginta kritisch in den Blick genommen.Der vorliegende Band enthält die überarbeiteten Beiträge einer internationalen Konferenz, die im April 2018 an der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München stattfand. Alle Aufsätze bieten Einblicke in aktuelle Fragen nach der Komposition und Intention des Psalters. Neben grundlegenden methodischen Reflexionen präsentiert der Band neue theologiegeschichtliche Perspektiven zur Erhellung der Entstehung des Psalters.

In his Spring painting (1894), Lawrence Alma-Tadema represented the Victorian custom of sending children to collect flowers on the morning of May 1, or May Day. By placing the scene in ancient Rome, he suggested the festival’s great antiquity through architectural details, dress, sculpture and musical instruments based on Roman originals. Alma-Tadema’s curiosity about the ancient world was insatiable, and he incorporated his knowledge into over 300 paintings of ancient archaeological and architectural design. In later years, his large panoramic depictions of Greek and Roman life caught the attention of Hollywood. The set design of certain scenes in Cecil B. DeMille’s film Cleopatra (1934) was inspired by this painting. We are honoured to feature a detail from Spring as part of our collaborative The J. Paul Getty Museum Collection.
