5 Centimeters per Second When Takaki meets Akari in elementary school, they are as thick as thieves. She always teaches him the important things, while he does his best to protect her. After they are separated in middle school, though, they have to find their paths in life without each other...
Director Makoto Shinkai delicately depicts the internal landscapes of his characters through three chapters in the life of one boy.
Children Who Chase Lost Voices Asuna is a shy and diffident girl who lives in the mountain town of Mizunofuchi. One day, she meets Shun, a boy who claims to be from a mythical land known as Agartha. However, just as a bond is beginning to form between them, Shun vanishes. As Asuna wishes she could see him again, she encounters Shin, another boy who looks just like Shun, and Morisaki, a teacher searching for Agartha. The three of them set out for the legendary country, each with their own goal in mind--and their own lessons to learn along the way .

Описание: Throughout the Second World War, a wide range of people, including political leaders and government officials, experts and armchair internationalists, civil society groups and private citizens talked about and formulated plans to ensure national security and to promote individual well-being in the postwar world. Rebuilding the Postwar Order explains how civil society and governments of the wartime allies conceived of peace and traces the international negotiations and conferences that later resulted in the United Nations system. It adopts a multilateral approach, connects wartime ideas to earlier peacemaking efforts, and reveals support for, as well as resistance and alternatives to, the emerging postwar order. In chapters on the United Nations, UNRRA, the IMF, World Bank and GATT, the FAO and WHO, UNESCO, and human rights, McKenzie explores the tensions between national sovereignty and international responsibility, national security and individual well-being, principles and compromises, morality and power, privilege and justice, all of which influenced the UN system.

Описание: Civil wars are among the most difficult problems in world politics. While mediation, intervention, and peacekeeping have produced some positive results in helping to end civil wars, they fall short in preventing them in the first place. In Incentivizing Peace, Jaroslav Tir and Johannes Karreth show that considering civil wars from a developmental perspective presents opportunities to prevent the escalation of nascent armed conflicts into full-scale civil wars. The authors demonstrate that highly-structured intergovernmental organizations (IGOs such as the World Bank, IMF, or regional development banks) are particularly well-positioned to engage in civil war prevention. When such IGOs have been actively engaged in nations on the edge, their potent economic tools have helped to steer rebel-government interactions away from escalation and toward peaceful settlement. Incentivizing Peace provides enlightening case evidence that IGO participation is a key to better predicting, and thus preventing, the outbreak of civil war.

Описание: Despite French President Charles de Gaulle`s persistent efforts to constructively share French experience and use his resources to help engineer an American exit from Vietnam, the Kennedy administration responded to de Gaulle`s peace initiatives with bitter silence and inaction.
Описание: Choice Outstanding Academic Title 2014 Scores of books have been written by Western experts, mainly American, looking at the root causes of the conflict between Iran and the US. However, none of them have presented an inside look at this complex relationship from within the Iranian culture, society, and most importantly, the Iranian policy-making system. This gap has been the cause of misperceptions, misanalyses, and conflict, followed by the adoption of US policies that have failed to achieve their objectives. Seyed Hossein Mousavian worked for over 30 years on diplomatic efforts between Iran and the West, serving in numerous official posts, and as a confidante, colleague, and peer to many former and current high ranking Iranian officials, including now-President Hassan Rouhani and Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif. Here the former diplomat gives an insider’s history of the troubled relationship between Iran and the US. His unique firsthand perspective blends memoir, analysis, and never before seen details of the many near misses in the quest for rapprochement. With so much at stake, the book concludes with a roadmap for peace that both nations so desperately need.
Описание: INTRODUCTION: The name "Eve" designates the unknown author of the Adam and Eve story in the Bible.
OVERVIEW: Everyone wants a way to end religious and secular conflicts. Also, everyone wants a well-defined way to become a Buddha and a Jesus. And most urgently, everyone wants a clear way to emotional health.
In The Second Coming of Eve, Abraham, Buddha, and Jesus we learn that that Way exists It has been hidden behind our misunderstanding of the Bible, The Gospel of Thomas, and Buddha's wisdom poems.
BACKGROUND: Scripture scholar Dr. Robert North discovered what he calls, "Semitic Parallelism," a method that Semitic and other ancient authors used to explain the meaning of metaphors and other sections of text. In other words, he found that many ancient writers embedded within their works their own dictionary and commentary.
Through the lens of Semitic Parallelism, we see for the first time the real Eve, Abraham, Buddha, and Jesus. As a result, we realize:
- That their ancient texts should be read as personal development allegories and poems, and not as historical or religious texts,
- That they taught the same alternative Way to religion, and
- That this Way is how one can be peaceful and fulfilled in any situation.
In short, Dr. North shows us that Eve, Abraham, Buddha, and Jesus were not abstract theologians. Instead, they were therapists. They articulated the same practical way that anyone can be peaceful and fulfilled in the most difficult situations. This is the Way that we all need yesterday.
REVIEWS: "Dr. North's expose of Eve, Abraham, Buddha, and Jesus' Way comes together in a clear and lucid fashion in this engaging book. Why have their authentic teachings been overlooked by those who'd prefer to harden religious stances into fixed dogmas?" Dr. Barrie Wilson, former Chair and Senior Scholar in the Department of Religious Studies at York University and author of How Jesus Became Christian noted:
"In this book, Dr. North argues that the Bible is more than history or a set of religious instructions. Once we understand its psychological dimension, we begin to unlock its spiritual depth and so are enabled to make therapeutic applications to our own lives." John R. Greene, Ph.D. in Counseling, Georgia State University
"Dr. North reveals that our commonly-held beliefs about the Biblical figures Eve, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus of Nazareth are false. When we set aside religious doctrines and see their works as poems and allegories, they become deeply meaningful and spiritually enlightening...Join Dr. North as he guides us anew on the journey that the Wise Ones of antique times always intended us to walk-"The Soul Way." Dr. Michael Ireland, Ma. Religious Studies, University of British Columbia; Ministerial Ph.D., University of Sedona.
