The Life and Witness of Saint Maria Goretti: Our Little Saint of the Beatitudes Kirby JeffreyPaperback

St. Maria Goretti was only a child when she died a martyr's death. Yet today, she inspires millions who find in her a perfect model of purity and holiness. Read here about her great holiness in the midst of tremendous suffering , how she died at the hands of a vicious murderer who tried to defile her purity, and how she visited this very same murderer years later in his jail cell to forgive him. Fr. Jeffrey Kirby examines the life of this little saint as he reflects on the Beatitudes and how she, along with her family, lived them each day. In a world where purity is corrupted in the darkness of the night and mercy is abandoned in the name of vengeance, let us turn to St. Maria Goretti and see her as the dawn of a new day, where the light of Christ shines on each of us and guides us into His Kingdom.

Dogs just wanna have FUN! - Picture this: Dogs at PlayPevná vazba

There are many books that celebrate our canine friends, but few so colourfully and evocatively demonstrate the sheer enjoyment they experience from being a dog. The photographs in Dogs Just Wanna Have Fun! are not about the bond between us and our canine companions, the results of dog training, or the ever-expanding canine wardrobe. Rather, the focus is on how dogs behave when they are freed from everyday constraints, and can indulge their natural instincts. The unsung heroes here are the owners, who, after ensuring that their beloved best friend would be safe, let him or her run free to interact with others for the photoshoot. The resultant images showcase pure doggie delight - as the expressions on the dogs' faces demonstrate! Whether chasing balls or other dogs, mud-bathing, swimming, or rolling, this is a joyous celebration of dogs simply enjoying

Fifty Years Since the End of Steam - Britains Railways 1968-2018Paperback

Steam on Britain's railways ended in 1968 - and the fifty years since have been a period of controversy and debate; has it been a time of progress and development, or under-investment and political meddling? Some would say that Beeching's cuts led to an era of corporate monotony, whereas others would claim that the last half century has witnessed remarkable technological advancements, with innovations like the HST 125 and Crossrail. Taking an often controversial viewpoint, and utilising a wealth of images, author Mark Lee Inman explores the rapid changes made on Britain's railways over the last half century, decade by decade, considering whether it really has been a period of progress, from the end of steam right up to Crossrail, Class 88s and

The Grim Sleeper - Talking with Americas Most Notorious Serial Killer, Lonnie FranklinPaperback

During the mid-1980s, a brutal killing spree began in Los Angeles as several women were murdered, having been sexually assaulted and shot in the chest with the same .25 calibre gun. The man responsible was Lonnie David Franklin Jr. However, his identity wouldn't be revealed for more than 20 years, by which time he had become one of America's most prolific serial killers. At the time, Los Angeles was a city struggling under the weight of racial inequalities and a crack epidemic that was sweeping through its most deprived areas. The victims were black women, and often addicts and sex workers. Many in the communities of South Central felt that these factors all caused a lack of interest on the part of the LAPD in investigating the murders, allowing Franklin to carry on his killing spree

Sweet Tooth Book Two Lemire Jeff Paperback

O komikse v slovenčine: Ľudská rasa dosiahla svoju najtemnejšiu hodinu. Za sedem rokov, odkedy sa Affliction prvýkrát objavil, zomreli miliardy ľudí. Všetky deti narodené po morovej epidémii sú zvláštnou novou rasou hybridov človeka a zvieraťa.Jeden z mála zostávajúcich ľudí, tulák menom Jepperd, si vytvoril puto s jedným z takýchto detí, sladkým, srnčím chlapcom menom Gus. Ale aj medzi hybridnými deťmi je Gus anomáliou, zdanlivo narodený predtým, ako začala choroba.Veriac, že Gusova história by mohla byť kľúčom k pôvodu moru, Jepperd a chlapec sa spolu vydajú na cestu na sever do Aljašky v nádeji, že ak odhalia príbeh jeho narodenia, povedie ich to k lieku na chorobu.Ale naďalej pretrváva znepokojujúca otázka: Ak Gus nie je produktom Affliction, bol jej príčinou?  O komikse v angličtine:Now a Netflix Original Series!The human race has reached its darkest hour. In the seven years since the Affliction first appeared, billions have died.

But even among the hybrid children, Gus is an anomaly, seemingly born before the sickness began.Believing that Gus' history might be the key to the plague's origins, Jepperd and the boy will journey north together to Alaska in the hope that if they can uncover the story of his birth, it will lead them to a cure for the sickness.But the troubling question remains: If Gus isn't a product of the Affliction, was he its cause?Written and illustrated by Jeff Lemire (Descender, Green Arrow), Sweet Tooth is an exploration of kindness and cruelty in a dangerous post-apocalyptic world.

Kann sich das Bewusstsein bewusst sein? - Eckoldt, Matthias

"Wie war es möglich, dass an einem durch nichts ausgezeichneten Punkt am Rande einer eher durchschnittlichen Galaxie die Funken des Geistes zu sprühen begannen?" Das ist die Ausgangsfrage des neuen Buches von Matthias Eckoldt "Kann sich das Bewusstsein bewusst sein?", und wieder versammelt der bekannte Wissenschaftsjournalist namhafte Vertreter aus Sozial-, Geistes- und Naturwissenschaften, um Fragen nach dem Ursprung, der Art und Weise und dem Inhalt des Bewusstseins auf die Spur zu kommen. Herausgekommen ist ein faszinierendes Kaleidoskop von Erklärungen und Herleitungen, die ohne Trivialisierungen einen gut nachvollziehbaren Einblick in den aktuellen Forschungsstand der unterschiedlichen Fachdisziplinen gewähren. Die dialogische Form ermöglicht es, die aktuelle Debatte schrittweise nachzuvollziehen. Die ist heute an dem spanenden Punkt angelangt, wo sich mit großer Deutlichkeit abzeichnet, dass keine Wissenschaftseinrichtung allein das Rätsel Bewusstsein lösen wird. Eckoldt stellt fest: "Die Suche nach Erklärungen des Phänomens Bewusstsein setzt bereits Bewusstsein voraus. Insofern ist die Sache schon ein wenig verflixt, weil man in zirkuläre Zusammenhänge kommt. Denn letztlich kann es nur das Bewusstsein selbst sein, das sich - im besten Fall - bewusst sein kann."
