Описание: The Green Thread: Dialogues with the Vegetal World is an interdisciplinary collection of essays in the emerging field of Plant Studies. The volume is the first of its kind to bring together a dynamic body of scholarship that shares a critique of long-standing human perceptions of plants as lacking autonomy, agency, consciousness, and, intelligence. The leading metaphor of the book--"the green thread", echoing poet Dylan Thomas' phrase "the green fuse"--carries multiple meanings. On a more apparent level, "the green thread" is what weaves together the diverse approaches of this collection: an interest in the vegetal that goes beyond single disciplines and specialist discourses, and one that not only encourages but necessitates interdisciplinary and even interspecies dialogue. On another level, "the green thread" links creative and historical productions to the materiality of the vegetal--a reality reflecting our symbiosis with oxygen-producing beings. In short, The Green Thread refers to the conversations about plants that transcend strict disciplinary boundaries as well as to the possibility of dialogue with plants.

Описание:
Is It True? is a delightful collection of children's humorous poetry that children will want to read over and over. It encourages parents to interact in an enjoyable way with their children, to help them understand the many misunderstandings of common expressions used in our daily language.
The book explores a child's perception of adult sayings like:
"Your father's in the dog house"
"Lost your marbles"
"Double-jointed"
What makes perfect sense to an adult sounds strange to children. They tend to be literal about what parents say, taking things out of context. As adults, we become desensitized to the exact meaning of subtle sayings we use daily.
Explore these saying with your children. Whether they come up naturally or are discovered in Is It True?, this illustrated book helps you laugh and learn with your children as they grow up.
Описание: This is a curated and comprehensive collection of the most important works covering matters related to national security, diplomacy, defense, war, strategy, and tactics. The collection spans centuries of thought and experience, and includes the latest analysis of international threats, both conventional and asymmetric. It also includes riveting first person accounts of historic battles and wars.
Some of the books in this Series are reproductions of historical works preserved by some of the leading libraries in the world. As with any reproduction of a historical artifact, some of these books contain missing or blurred pages, poor pictures, errant marks, etc. We believe these books are essential to this collection and the study of war, and have therefore brought them back into print, despite these imperfections.
We hope you enjoy the unmatched breadth and depth of this collection, from the historical to the just-published works.

Описание: In un remoto passato, uomini e angeli avevano abitato la Terra insieme. Ma troppo simili nelle passioni, somiglianti nei cuori come nei volti, i divini si ritirarono nel Gan Desha, alla ricerca di una nuova patria. Alcuni tuttavia, osservata con disgusto la corruzione dei loro simili, scelsero l'esilio, rinunciando per sempre alla luce. ""La vergogna per ci che era stato generato tinse le loro anime di un indelebile lutto, mutandoli anche nell'aspetto..."" L'epocale vicenda travolge la vita di Diletta, segnandola con cicatrici che le solcano lo spirito, ma che l'aiuteranno a far risplendere la parte migliore di se stessa. Un romanzo emozionante, epico, solenne. Il primo volume di una saga, un grande esordio.
