Описание: I Wish I Was Never Born By Belo Lionel Brescia A thrilling story of survival that spans four decades, written by a remarkable man with psychic powers How does one survive terrible odds? How can we take the problems life has given us and still manage to triumph? Brescia was born and raised in East Africa. He began suffering terrible nightmares in his childhood and soon realized he had the ability to foresee the future, which was both a blessing and a curse. He survived a childhood among raging alcoholics, and when his passport was not renewed, found himself a man without a country. Forced to live like a fugitive, he strived for security and happiness. But the worst was yet to come. When he married and had a son, Maurice, his son was abducted not once, but four times. His spirit broken, "the human taken out of him," Brescia was at the lowest point of his life. Still, Brescia's strength of will and spirit carried him through. He wrote books and music, became a pilot, painted and invented games and even rocked in his brother's band. And he met an astonishing cast of famous people, from John Wayne to Candice Bergen. Brescia's story is set against the gorgeous backdrop of Africa. Thrillingly told, this is an inspirational story that is sure to strike a chord in readers everywhere. Author Bio: Belo Lionel Brescia was born and raised in East Africa. He is the author of three adventure novels, seventeen science fiction novels, two dictionaries in six languages, two biographies and I Wish I was Never Born, his autobiography. He currently lives in the Seychelles.

Shines a light on the emerging field of law dedicated to responding to and resolving the crises of the twenty-first century
In an increasingly globalized world, a complex and interlocking web of nations, governments, non-state actors, laws, and rules affect human behavior. When crisis hits—whether that be extrajudicial detention, unprompted deportation, pandemics, or natural disasters—lawyers are increasingly among the first responders, equipped with the knowledge necessary to navigate the regulations of this ever more complex world. Crisis Lawyering explores this phenomenon and attempts to identify and define what it means to engage in the practice of law in crisis situations. In so doing, it hopes to sketch out the contours of the emerging field of crisis lawyering. Contributors to this volume explore cases surrounding domestic violence; dealing with immigrants in detention and banned from travel; policing in Ferguson, Missouri; the kidnapping of journalists; and climate change, among other crises. Their analysis not only serves as guidance to lawyers in such situations, but also helps others who deal with crises understand those crises—and the role of lawyers in them—better so that they may respond to them more effectively, efficiently, collaboratively and creatively. Crisis Lawyering shines a light on the emerging field of law dedicated to responding to and resolving the complex crises of the twenty-first century.

Architectural work in dialogue with different disciplines
Founded by Paolo Brescia and Tommaso Principi as a design network between Milan, London and Mumbai, OBR explores new modes of contemporary living, developing an architecture that responds sensitively to and stimulates interaction with its environment, while adapting to the changing needs of society. OBR’s work strives to promote a sense of community enhancing individual identities. In this book, the architects present their work as a communal endeavor. They engage influential people in transdisciplinary dialogues that extend beyond architecture itself, questioning its autonomy and offering new perspectives on its potential and relevance. The monograph showcases a selection of twenty-four international projects by OBR that address key social issues through the medium of architecture.
The first monograph on OBR’s work
Selection of 24 international projects presented in texts, plans and photographs
Transdisciplinary dialogues with Roni Horn, Michel Desvigne, Giovanna Borasi, and Georges Amar

The aim of this book is to discuss the quintessential struggle of faith and reason that invariably and perpetually manifests itself in the history of humanity. In west, technology, technolatria, is now seen as a substitute for desacralised Christianity. Ancients disliked «Faustian» technology and manipulation of the natural order of things. They branded Prometheus and Daedalus as evil-doers, for ‹novelty› or ‹innovation› then stood for hybris. The Greco-Roman Antiquity was markedly religious and political. Leaders and commoners had all to observe the sacrosanct cult. Thus, law and order were maintained, and change was precluded. The triumph of Christianity, orchestrated by Roman aristocracy, was to lead to intolerance and persecution even within the Orthodox Church.
This book presents a contribution to the neglected branch of history of morals in a time when virtue has been lost, and moral disorder or vacuum has ensued. The study covers a very long March of Father Time, from Homer and Hesiod until the twelfth century of the Common Era.
