The Marbles and the Crown - Marga Vogel, Michelle Princenthal - eBook (9789492110220)

Wise Tree sends Ruben and Rivka on a journey to search for a very special bottle and fill it with 10 unique marbles discovered along the way. These marbles are each collected on several small islands. The children are able to reach each of the islands by crossing a bridge, but only after they have spoken to the looking glass (their inner selves). Throughout their journey they are interrupted, misguided and challenged by Rara Rattlesnake (the evil inclination), who continuously is trying to lead them away from the right path. Butterfly Fairy (the good inclination) consistently provides valuable guidance. Throughout the story the children are sidetracked by situations requiring them to decide whether to follow the direction of Rara Rattlesnake or Butterfly Fairy. When Ruben and Rivka succeed in their task they are amply rewarded, but their most valuable reward is the insight, experience.

The sleeping Ulysses

In 1801, five ships sailed to England from the harbour of Piraeus in Greece. Their cargoes were filled with statues, metopes, friezes and other pieces of art originating from the Parthenon in Athens. These 'Parthenon Marbles' are currently exhibited in the British Museum in London. For many years, the Greek people have waited in vain for the return of their stolen art, but now the wait is over. Aristos Brown, a self-made businessman, unexpectedly becomes involved in the battle for the return of the 'Parthenon Marbles' to Greece. Inspired by Homer and chased by the English secret service, he and his personal assistant Annie Steel take on the mission of recovering the stolen art. Their dangerous journey over Corfu, Peloponnesus and the island Ithaca ends in Athens. The possible return of the 'Parthenon Marbles' to Greece rests on their shoulders. What dangers will they encounter and is success even possible?

This collection of essays examines urban communities and societies in Asia and the West to shed much-needed light on issues that have emerged as the world experiences its new urban turn.

The beauty of the difference - Martine F. Delfos - eBook (9789088508561)

In The Beauty of the Difference, Martine Delfos describes the differences and similarities between men and women. She shows how these differences and similarities intertwine like cogwheels. She does not limit herself to listing the differences and similarities, but she describes how male and female are interrelated, and how they have meaning with and for each other, from biological, evolutionary and social elements. From this viewpoint one can understand the meaning of these differences in contemporary society and Delfos shows how biological similarities make emancipation of both men and women possible. Delfos thinks that both the differences and the similarities are necessary for the emancipation of men and women. She states that we must emancipate with the biological flow instead of against the biological current. The book provides an in-depth insight into the way men and women function and its significance for entering into relationships, both heterosexual and homosexual. Why homose…

Children who changed the world - Els Kloek, Floris van Straaten - eBook (9789491833229)

What do Malala Yousafzai and Anne Frank have in common? Both opened the eyes of the world to the injustice done to them as children. Malala deliberately set out to fight for her right to education. While Anne Frank unwittingly became a symbol of the effect of war on the lives of children. Children Who Changed the World, tells the stories of more than twenty children who have opened the worlds eyes to serious problems in society, and who have contributed to the solution. As children, they have changed our world for the better. Children like Iqbal Masih, Andrew Adansi, Ishmael Beah, Urmila Chaudhary and Nujood Ali spoke out against child labour, discrimination, child marriage, poverty, exclusion from education, war, disease and hunger. They were listened to, despite - or perhaps because of - their young age. Kim Phuc, Ruby Bridges, Nkosi Johnson and Helen Keller did not accept their fate, they challenged it. Their perseverance is an inspiration to other children, as well as to adults. …

Conquest: The Last Argument of Kings Miniatures 12-Pack Spires: Force Grown Drones

Pack with 12 plastic miniatures and 1 iCard for the Tabletop Game Conquest: The Last Argument of Kings.They never screamed or howled or anything, you know? They had no battle cries. They just made these sounds... Gurgling growls and snarls, like hate drowning in boiling blood. - Heimlen Mullner, Man-at-ArmsIn the dispassionate view of the Directorate, all life that crawls from their vats is a product. Clones, which are grown directly from original Exile life strands, are perhaps high-end products, the best of which can someday prove themselves and even earn some standing in Spire society. Such a fate is forever beyond the wretched Force Grown Drones. All Drones are spliced from 'base' tissues, found locally on Eä, and therefore no Sovereign Lineage would ever countenance a creature as inelegant as the Force Grown Drone. The Directorate has no such compunctions. In fact, they are the ones who first came up with the distinction between clones and drones, and the Force Grown Drone remains…

The art of audit - Roel Janssen - eBook (9789048530823)

Accountability, good government and public trust are intricately linked. Supreme Audit Institutions fulfil an exceptional role in the public domain, checking if governments spend their money properly. They are like 'watchdogs' for citizens and parliaments with the purpose of auditing public expenditure and examining the effectiveness of policies. They aim to strengthen the trustworthiness of government institutions, all the more so in fragile democracies. They do so, for instance, in striving to disclose cases of corruption, not just in the highest echelons of government, but also in everyday petty bribery. And they can be found counting houses, roads and water taps, to see if government's promises are being kept. On the occasion of the retirement of Saskia J. Stuiveling as the president of the Netherlands Court of Audit, eight (former) heads of audit institutions talk candidly about their work and innovations in the area of public auditing, about how the financial crisis affected …

Origins and ends of the mind - eBook (9789461660374)

Psychoanalysis claims that the individual human mind is structured by its childhood relationships with its parents. But the theory of attachment, evolutionary psychology and contemporary philosophy of mind have all recently re-introduced new dimensions of innateness into mental development and pathology. If attachment is an instinct, then what is the psychological status of the child's relation to the mother? If the mind is in part a product of evolution, then how far down do the inhibitory mechanisms of the mind go? If the mind of the child is shaped by their encounter with a set of prohibitions, how, in the light of contemporary 'cognitive science' and philosophy of mind, can the child be conceived as 'taking on' a rule? How is the construction of the mind related to the normative ends of cognitive experience? Today, it is Lacanian psychoanalysis which most vigorously defends psychoanalytic theory and practice from the encroachment of the biological and 'cognitive' sciences. But a pa…
