Anthropological theory can radically transform our understanding of human experience and offer theologians an introduction to the interdisciplinary nature between anthropology and Christianity.Both sociocultural anthropology and theology have made fundamental contributions to our understanding of human experience and the place of humanity in the world. But can these two disciplines, despite the radical differences that separate them, work together to transform their thinking on these topics? Robbins argues that they can. To make this point, he draws on key theological discussions of atonement, eschatology, interruption, passivity, and judgement to rethink important anthropological debates about such topics as ethical life, radical change, the ways people live in time, agency, gift giving, and the nature of humanity. The result is both a major reconsideration of important aspects of anthropological theory through theological categories and a series of careful readings of influential theologians such as Moltmann, Pannenberg, Jüngel, and Dalferth informed by rich ethnographic accounts of the lives of Christians from around the world. In conclusion, Robbins draws on contemporary discussions of secularism to interrogate the secular foundations of anthropology and suggests that the differences between anthropology and theology surrounding this topic can provide a foundation for transformative dialogue between them, rather than being an obstacle to it. Written as a work of interdisciplinary anthropological theorizing, this book also offers theologians an introduction to some of the most important ground covered by burgeoning field of the anthropology of Christianity while guiding anthropologists into core areas of theological discussion. Although theoretically ambitious, the book is clearly argued throughout and written to be accessible to all readers in the social sciences, theology, and religious studies interested in the place of religion in social life and human experience.

This volume contains Ibsen's two most famous and frequently read, studied and performed plays about women: A Doll's House (1879), his first international success, which 'exploded like a bomb into contemporary life', and Hedda Gabler (1890), now one of his most popular plays, but greeted at first with bewilderment and outrage ('The play is simply a bad escape of moral sewage-gas' Pictorial World). Also included is An Enemy of the People (1883), whose central character was the actor Konstantin Stanislavski's favourite role.Michael Meyer's translations are 'crisp and cobweb-free, purged of verbal Victoriana' (Kenneth Tynan)

«A arte de escribir consiste en dicir moito con poucas palabras», afirmaba Chéjov, o pai do conto moderno. Un reto para quen crea e unha aventura para quen le. Nestes vinte e dous relatos de «Compostela» achegámonos á cidade dende diversas voces e olladas, mais tamén fuximos dela a arrabaldes de grandes urbes, a vilas pequenas ou a barrios con encanto. Neste paseo literario gozamos de voces consagradas no xénero e doutras que se inician, xeracións diferentes que dialogan nunha mesma lingua na que constrúen historias enraizadas en nós. Cada conto é mostra do gran momento literario do país, estas páxinas son un remuíño de bolboretas mergulladas na mesma luz, a da literatura galega. (Malores Villanueva) A cousa é que a nave foi. E con esta xa van tres... E esta, como di un amigo meu que canta moito e moi ben, «Partiu!». (Pedro Feijoo)

Pronto se convirtió en uno, después de una pasantía en Estados Unidos, porque es talentoso pero modesto, un benefactor, dicen algunos, un santo.

El anillo de poder, susurran algunos. Teresa se desliza hacia la adolescencia desde la infancia, y se da cuenta de que la benevolencia que el mundo le reserva es un efecto secundario del servilismo hacia su padre. ¿Quién es Lorenzo Ciabatti? ¿El médico benefactor que ama a los pobres o un hombre calculador y violento? ¿Un poderoso que quizás jugó un papel en algunos de los eventos más oscuros de la historia reciente? Ya adulta, Teresa decide averiguarlo y se encuentra inmersa en el dulce y venenoso líquido amniótico que fue su infancia: preguntas nunca hechas, respuestas evasivas. Todo, en las historias familiares, se readapta, se transforma... Teresa Ciabatti reconstruye la historia de una familia y, con ella, los acontecimientos de toda una época. Una autoficción sincera, feroz, siniestra, nacida del afán de reconciliarse con una infancia feliz que se interrumpió bruscamente.

When Stephanie Plum is woken up in the middle of the night by the sound of footsteps in her apartment, she wishes she didn’t keep her gun in the cookie jar in her kitchen.

The world's most entertaining and useless self-help guide from the brilliant mind behind the wildly popular webcomic xkcd, the bestsellers What If? and Thing Explainer, and What If? 2, coming September 13, 2022.For any task you might want to do, there's a right way, a wrong way, and a way so monumentally complex, excessive, and inadvisable that no one would ever try it. How To is a guide to the third kind of approach. It's full of highly impractical advice for everything from landing a plane to digging a hole.Bestselling author and cartoonist Randall Munroe explains how to predict the weather by analyzing the pixels of your Facebook photos. He teaches you how to tell if you're a baby boomer or a 90's kid by measuring the radioactivity of your teeth. He offers tips for taking a selfie with a telescope, crossing a river by boiling it, and powering your house by destroying the fabric of space-time. And if you want to get rid of the book once you're done with it, he walks you through your options for proper disposal, including dissolving it in the ocean, converting it to a vapor, using tectonic plates to subduct it into the Earth's mantle, or launching it into the Sun.By exploring the most complicated ways to do simple tasks, Munroe doesn't just make things difficult for himself and his readers. As he did so brilliantly in What If?, Munroe invites us to explore the most absurd reaches of the possible. Full of clever infographics and fun illustrations, How To is a delightfully mind-bending way to better understand the science and technology underlying the things we do every day.
