They are interpreted within the context of their relevant books, their connections with preliminary editorial phases of the Book of the Twelve are investigated, and their connections with each other are examined on both a diachronic and a synchronic level. The results of this study feed into the current debate on the origins and unity of the Book of the Twelve and the history of the concept of the Day of JHWH.

Book SynopsisProvides the English-speaking reader with a comprehensive guide to the fiction of Alfred Döblin, a major figure in German and European literary modernism.Alfred Döblin was born into a Jewish family in 1878 and grew to become a leading German literary figure before he had to flee from the Nazis in 1933. His big-city novel Berlin Alexanderplatz (1929) is often compared to Joyce's Ulysses, but Döblin had been exploring modern narrative techniques since the early 1900s, and his themes were entirely his own. In view of the highly diverse character of his fictions and their settings-ranging from Europe to China and South America, and from the sixteenth century to the twenty-seventh-the first four chapters of this book present them according to broad thematic concerns-Person, Power, Nature and Culture-rather than chronological sequence. The aim is to encourage readers to identify aspects of his writing that they would like to investigate further for themselves. The introduction provides initial orientation in Döblin's early thinking and the way he conceived the writer's task, and that is followed by a concise description of his family background and his subsequent personal biography. The final two chapters focus respectively on the development of his skill in the deployment of specific narrative techniques and on how historical circumstances affected his philosophical and religious orientation in the course of his adult life, from the language skepticism of his early years and his professed agnosticism in the 1920s to his late conversion to Catholicism.

Having no choice, East and a crew of untested boys - including his trigger-happy younger brother, Ty - leave the only home they've ever known in a nondescript blue van, with a roll of cash, a map and a gun they shouldn't have.

Book SynopsisVibrant Death links philosophy and poetry-based, corpo-affectively grounded knowledge seeking. It offers a radically new materialist theory of death, critically moving the philosophical argument beyond Christian and secular-mechanistic understandings. The book's ethico-political figuration of vibrant death is shaped through a pluriversal conversation between Deleuzean philosophy, neo-vitalist materialism and the spiritual materialism of decolonial, queerfeminist poet and scholar Gloria Anzaldua. The book's posthuman deexceptionalizing of human death unfurls together with a collection of poetry, and autobiographical stories. They are analysed through the lens of a posthuman, queerfeminist revision of the method of autophenomenography (phenomenological analysis of autobiographical material).Nina Lykke explores the speaking position of a mourning, queerfeminine I, who contemplates the relationship with her dead beloved lesbian life partner. She reflects on her enactment Trade ReviewLykke challenges the entrenched dualist, Christian, secular, and colonial understandings of death and mourning by allowing her excessive mourning to continue unbounded ... By opening the door to a new understanding of death and mourning, Lykke leaves the reader with a deep sense of love and connection to the world and has us join her in asking, “what if every critter’s death was vibrant?” * Journal of Lesbian Studies *Composed of ashes, pearls, diatoms, longing and audacious thought, this book takes the reader beyond the life/death threshold, to an encounter with the posthuman that is both spectral and inexorably material. Nina Lykke takes posthumanist scholarship to a new place. * Maggie MacLure, Professor Emerita, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK *Through an interweaving of dimensions such as photography, poetry, storytelling, opera, miraculous co-becomings and philosophical reflections, Vibrant Death invites us to a process of un-learning of death beyond the idea of static nothingness. This book is a radical, sensorial and transformative project * Katja Aglert, independent artist and Professor of Art, Linköping University, Sweden *Vibrant Death is simply stunning across all registers: affective, methodological, theoretical and poetic. As a magical “travelogue”, its range and depth of inquiry around the issues of death and mourning are fearless and startlingly innovative. Lykke gives us a relentlessly posthuman, queerfeminist text that beautifully exemplifies an erotics of connection. * Margrit Shildrick, Guest Professor of Gender and Knowledge Production, Stockholm University, Sweden *Table of ContentsOverture: Travelling to the World of the Dead – A Triptych Chapter 1: Queering Death and Posthumanizing Mourning - Introduction Interlude I: Lacrimoso e Lamentoso (Crying and Lamenting) Chapter 2: The Excessive Mourner Interlude II: Vibrato Bruscamente (Abruptly Vibrating) Chapter 3.

Book SynopsisFrom James Dashner, author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Maze Runner series, comes the first book in the bestselling Mortality Doctrine series, an edge-of-your-seat cyber-adventure trilogy that includes The Rule of Thoughts and The Game of Lives.  Includes a sneak peek of The Fever Code, the highly anticipated conclusion to the Maze Runner series—the novel that finally reveals how the Maze was built!      The VirtNet offers total mind and body immersion, and the more hacking skills you have, the more fun it is. Why bother following the rules when it’s so easy to break them? But some rules were made for a reason. Some technology is too dangerous to fool with. And one gamer has been doing exactly that, with murderous results.      The government knows that to catch a hacker, you need a hacker. And they’ve been watching Michael. If he accepts their challenge, Michael will need to go off the VirtNet grid, to the back alleys and corners of the system human eyes have never seen—and it’s possible that the line between game and reality will be blurred forever.   Praise for the Mortality Doctrine Series:“Dashner takes full advantage of the Matrix-esque potential for asking ‘what is real.’” —io9.com   “Set in a world taken over by virtual reality gaming, the series perfectly capture[s] Dashner’s hallmarks for inventiveness, teen dialogue and an ability to add twists and turns like no other author.” —MTV.com   “A brilliant, visceral, gamified mash-up of The Matrix and Inception, guaranteed to thrill even the non-gaming crowd.” —Christian Science Monitor

Book SynopsisThe 1977–78 Los Angeles Dodgers came close. Their tough lineup of young and ambitious players squared off with the New York Yankees in consecutive World Series. Dodgerlandis the story of those memorable teams as Chavez Ravine began to change, baseball was about to enter a new era, and American culture experienced a shift to the “me” era.Trade Review"Not a conventional championship-season kind of treatment but a thoughtful, comprehensive, and even deeply personal account of a boisterous era whose echoes remain loud, even painful."—Kirkus"Fallon gets the tone of the events just right—the boisterous energy and the deflation, the nervous highs and the depressive lows of Dodgerland and L.A."—Ron Slate, On the Seawall"This book is recommended not only for baseball fans but also for readers who are interested in social history or who want to learn more about the culture of Los Angeles during that time."—Guy Who Reviews Sports Books"Michael Fallon combines baseball, culture, politics, and social issues into a neat package in Dodgerland."—Bob D'Angelo, Sports Bookie"Dodgerland is a fine baseball book. Fallon is a talented writer, who is able to effortlessly weave together a number of major storylines in order to make the enormous tapestry that this story is ultimately part of."—Baseball Historian“Dodgerland is a fascinating study of American culture in Los Angeles in the 1970s. Among the characters marching across the pages are Tom Wolfe, Hugh Hefner, Charles Manson, Jim Bouton, Mayor Tom Bradley, Frank Zappa, and, of course, the men who bled Dodger blue, including imperfect heroes such as Steve Garvey, Don Sutton, Reggie Smith, and Glenn Burke. All came for the American Dream. Not all of them made it.”—Peter Golenbock, author of The Bronx Zoo and Bums: An Oral History of the Brooklyn Dodgers “An intriguing, often audacious tale that weaves in such iconic characters as John Wayne and Bob Marley, Tom Wolfe and Tommy Lasorda. In the eye of this cultural hurricane, for a moment or two, stood the 1977–78 Los Angeles Dodgers. Here is their story—deftly told.”—Tim Wendel, author of Castro’s Curveball and Summer of ’68 “Michael Fallon has given us the California counterpart to The Bronx Is Burning, a sweeping yet intimate portrayal of the seventies’ denouement on the West Coast. Here’s the American Dream in Dodger blue, a black mayor, a pioneering journalist, and a hardworking hardware store owner.”—John Rosengren, award-winning author of The Fight of Their Lives: How Juan Marichal and John Roseboro Turned Baseball’s Ugliest Brawl into a Story of Forgiveness and RedemptionTable of Contents Prologue: Tuesday, October 17, 1978 Part 1. 19771.

Book SynopsisEl estudio, que realizamos lo hacemos en dos elementos de la dogmatica del delito, como son el dolo y la culpa, siendo estos tan distantes y tan cercanos, como el caso del Dolus Eventualis, su cercanía con la culpa consiente.Tanto en el dolo, como en la culpa, hacemos un estudio de las principales doctrinas, que se encargan de dar fundamento a cada uno, y acogido, para nosotros la que señala que el dolo, es un elemento subjetivo, voluntario y querido, por el sujeto activo, mientras que la culpa no tiene la intención, es decir no es voluntaria ni querida por el sujeto activo, de ahí que se caracteriza por su menor pena, se fundamenta en la impericia, imprudencia, negligencia, o observancia de órdenes, reglamentos, o normativas, por parte del sujeto activo. Es aquí donde radica la diferencia de ambas conductas.Es tan subjetivo el dolo, que viendo un ejemplo sencillo lo dejamos demostrado, como el caso del ciudadano, que va al supermercado y sustrae un producto, camina por todo el superme

Book SynopsisTime Magazine reihte ihn unter die hundert wichtigsten Personen des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts. Die Harvard University verlieh ihm das Ehrendoktorat für die Entdeckung "der bedeutsamsten mathematischen Wahrheit des Jahrhunderts". Er gilt allgemein als der größte Logiker seit Aristoteles. Sein Freund Einstein ging, nach eigener Aussage, nur deshalb ans Institut, um Gödel auf dem Heimweg begleiten zu dürfen. Und John von Neumann, einer der Väter des Computers, schrieb: "Gödel ist tatsächlich absolut unersetzlich. Er ist der einzige Mathematiker, von dem ich das zu behaupten wage." Dieses Buch ist eine leichtverdauliche, einfache und anschauliche Einführung in Gödels Leben und Werk, gedacht für jene, die sich für die menschlichen und kulturellen Aspekte der Wissenschaft interessieren. Ausgangspunkt des Buches waren die Vorbereitungen zu einer Ausstellung über Kurt Gödel aus Anlass seines hundertsten Geburtstags. Eine Ausstellung hat etwas von einem Spaziergang an sich, und gerade das wollen wir bieten: einen Spaziergang mit Gödel. Albert Einstein genoss solche Spaziergänge sehr. Man kann also Gödel genießen.Trade Review"Die Autoren übertreffen die Erwartungen des Lesers in jeder Hinsicht. Nach dem Betrachten der Fotos und der Lektüre der Briefe und Bildlegenden meint man fast, den grossen Meister persönlich zu kennen." NZZ - Neue Züricher Zeitung, 07.06.2006Table of ContentsGödels Leben - Gödels Umfeld - Gödels Werk (Hilberts Programm, Cantors Kontinuum, Einsteins Universen, Platos Schatten) Gödel's Life - Gödel's Surroundings - Gödel's Work (Hilbert's Program, Cantor's Continuum - Einstein's Universes - Plato's Shadow)
