Even better, he'll find her a prince.As usual, there's no problem Parth can't fix.

Ética a Nicómaco

Parece claro que la felicidad es el fin último al que aspira la vidahumana. Pero ?cuál es la verdaderaesencia de la felicidad? A esta espinosa cuestión se enfrentaAristóteles (384 - 322 a. C.) en la Ética a Nicómaco.Resultado de la selección realizada por su hijo Nicómaco con las notas que el propio autor utilizaba para sus leccionesen el Liceo, la obra resume las claves de la reflexión moral de suautor. Y aún más meritorio es el hecho de haber sidoél quien, por vez primera en la literatura universal, aborda ladisciplina como rama filosófica independiente. ParaAristóteles, la ética, ciencia de los hábitos y el carácter, no es unsaber meramente teórico, sino que despliega unadimensión práctica en la búsqueda de la virtud, el bien más preciadopor ser patrimonio del alma.

Aberfan

On 21 October 1966, 116 children and 28 adults died when a mountainside coal tip collapsed, engulfing homes and part of a school in the village of Aberfan below. It is a moment that will be forever etched in the memories of many people in Wales and beyond. Aberfan - Government & Disaster is widely recognised as the definitive study of the disaster. Following meticulous research of public records - kept confidential by the UK Government's 30-year rule - the authors, in this revised second edition, explain how and why the disaster happened and why nobody was held responsible. Iain McLean and Martin Johnes reveal how the National Coal Board, civil servants, and government ministers, who should have protected the public interest, and specifically the interests of the people of Aberfan, failed to do so. The authors also consider what has been learned or ignored from Aberfan such as the

Sisters in Arms

A history of female combatants, from those who joined the military disguised as men to the current role of women in the armed forces.In October 2018, Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson announced that all roles in the military would now be open to women. Although this marks a historic shift, officially allowing British women into combat roles, the presence of women on the front lines dates back to antiquity. Beginning with the founding myth of the Amazons--in reality female warriors of a nomadic tribe to whom the Greeks attributed super-heroic powers--Julie Wheelwright explores the history of women in arms. She traces our fascination with these figures, many of whom successfully disguised themselves as men, using primary sources and their own words to bring their experiences vividly to light. Among these forgotten heroines are Christian Davies, Ireland's most famous

Through our heritage of charming, quirky, and profound traditional tales, you will be reacquainted with once familiar fauna. Perhaps you will be reading, for the first time, stories of those creatures that have, in living memory, made the British islands their home. You will also be in the company of those, which once long gone from these shores, have recently reclaimed their right to

Forensic Science Fraser Jim University of Strathclyde Glasgow

Forensic science is a subject of wide fascination. What happens at a crime scene? How does DNA profiling work? How can it help solve crimes that happened 20 years ago? In forensic science, a criminal case can often hinge on a piece of evidence such as a hair, a blood trace, half a footprint, or a tyre mark. Complex scientific findings must be considered carefully and dispassionately, and communicated with clarity, simplicity, and precision. High profile cases such as the Stephen Lawrence enquiry and the Madeleine McCann case have attracted enormous media attention and enhanced general interest in this area in recent years.In this Very Short Introduction, Jim Fraser introduces the concept of forensic science and explains how it is used in the investigation of crime. He begins at the crime scene itself, explaining the principles and processes of crime scene management, and

Sunnis and Shia

A compelling history of the ancient schism that continues to divide the Islamic worldWhen Muhammad died in 632 without a male heir, Sunnis contended that the choice of a successor should fall to his closest companions, but Shi'a believed that God had inspired the Prophet to appoint his cousin and son-in-law, Ali, as leader. So began a schism that is nearly as old as Islam itself. Laurence Lou r tells the story of this ancient rivalry, taking readers from the last days of Muhammad to the political and doctrinal clashes of Sunnis and Shi'a today.In a sweeping historical narrative spanning the Islamic world, Lou r shows how the Sunni-Shi'a divide was never just a dispute over succession--at issue are questions about the very nature of Islamic political authority. She challenges the widespread perception of Sunnis and Shi'a as bitter enemies who are perpetually at war
