Every three months a space rocket carrying three astronauts and cosmonauts to the International Space Station launches from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. At around the same time, to the north-east in remote grasslands, three other astronauts fall back to earth. The photographs in Some Worlds Have Two Suns document these comings and goings of the Russian Soyuz spacecraft and the local community whose lives are accidentally intertwined with this portal to space.

An ancient entertainer unable to work while pregnant; a medieval holy woman performing a ‘miraculous termination’; a Reformation-era abortion provider prosecuted as a witch; a Victorian midwife saving her patients from the workhouse. Women have always sought to end pregnancies, and long succeeded. This book tells their stories.
From enslaved and Indigenous herbal knowledge on Europe’s colonial plantations to Planned Parenthood’s unlikely alliance with postwar churches, Mary Fissell reveals abortion’s long politics, tracing how Western societies have policed the practice—or chosen not to. For long periods in our past, abortion was widely tolerated by authorities and ordinary people, and far from straightforward in Christian morality: it was not a crime in Britain until 1803, nor a religious issue in America until the twentieth century.
Whether in France, Scotland, Germany or Italy, abortion controls have always sprung from wider panics around social change—whether times of war, revolution and economic upheaval, or patriarchal anxiety about women’s growing independence. As restrictions tighten once more, this vividly illuminating history reminds us that such repression never endures.
Hollywood Fashion explores the art and legacy of the cinematic costume designer, starting with the birth of the modern motion picture industry on a prime piece of California real estate known as Hollywood.
Readers will discover how film clothing evolved from actors selecting items from their home wardrobes to outfits customized for their roles; everything from suits of armor to ball gowns to office attire to lingerie, all created by a studio designer and a dedicated staff of costumers.
They will also encounter the actresses from each decade who displayed a distinct fashion sense, on and off the screen - women who made the costumer's job less demanding by embodying the character and evoking the time, place and circumstances the designer wished to portray.
The body was cold as ice; the heart had long ceased to beat: yet there were no other signs of death.'
The phantoms and ghouls of Japanese folklore are in this book driven back into the world of the living. Mysterious brides melt into mist, paintings come alive, and man-eating goblins barter for redemption. Traditional Japanese folktales and legends, infused with memories of Lafcadio Hearn’s own haunted childhood, are here masterfully retold.
Publikacja podejmująca problematykę wczesnochrześcijańskiej myśliPodejście inicjacyjne pozwala nam śledzić obydwa rodzaje kerygmatu w zupełnie nowej perspektywie - progresywnej, ewolucyjnej. W rzeczy samej w centrum kerygmatu NT (kerygmatu Jezusa i o Jezusie) stoi Jezus jako Człowiek, który jest medium Bóstwa.Z przeglądu źródeł chrześcijaństwa powstałych przed 381 r. narzuca się nam z całą siłą perswazji jako główny i najważniejszy - wniosek następujący: nie można uchwycić i zrozumieć fenomenu ekklesii w oderwaniu od kontekstu instytucji inicjacji, a nawet instytucji pokuty.Bogusław Górka, prof. Uniwersytetu Gdańskiego, doktor historii starożytnej UG, doktor i doktor habilitowany z religioznawstwa UJ. Twórca podejścia inicjacyjnego oraz hermeneutyki inicjacji.
Kluczem do poprawnego odczytania i zrozumienia tekstów biblijnych jest m. in. ich język, odzwierciedlający charakterystyczne dla autorów natchnionych i redaktorów sposoby myślenia oraz konstruowania wypowiedzi. Z badań nad tymi zagadnieniami zrodziła się idea sesji zatytułowanej Język Biblii a język współczesny, której wyniki prezentuje niniejsza książka. Autorzy referatów - znani polscy bibliści wraz z gościem sesji, profesorem Rolandem Meynet SJ - podejmują w swych przedłożeniach temat relacji między retoryką a Biblią, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem metody analizy literackiej, zwanej analizą retoryczną. Omawiają zagadnienie bierności jako specyficznej cechy języka biblijnego; problem autorstwa i struktury Listu do Hebrajczyków. Przedstawiają ponadto specyfikę semickiego wyobrażenia o pięknie języka, jego stylu, a także możliwości wzajemnych oddziaływań między Biblią a reklamą.

Organizacja może być ofiarą sytuacji kryzysowej, może również sama sprowokować kryzys w sposób niezamierzony albo w sposób zamierzony. Dynamika mediów społecznościowych i środowiska internetowego sprawia, że przebieg sytuacji kryzysowej może być mniej przewidywalny, a odbiorcy bardziej zaangażowani emocjonalnie, co utrudnia organizacji podejmowanie właściwych działań (fragment Wstępu).

Explores iconic fashion items and their revolutionary impact on fashion history

Discusses the cultural and sociopolitical significance of fashion classics
Perfect for fashion enthusiasts and historians
When it comes to fashion, the term icon is almost invariably associated with a person: a man or, more often, a woman whose style has left a mark on the collective imagination. And yet, there are also objects that have the same extraordinary evocative power, items of clothing or accessories which, in different ways, have revolutionised the history of fashion. The birth of the Burberry trench coat, flat pumps or Givenchys little black dress were milestones after which nothing was ever the same. Each designer, label or fast-fashion manufacturer has had to come to terms with fashion icons existence, by quoting or revisiting them, or simply by copying creations that have now become classics. Some of these are even known by their original name, like the Kelly bag and Borsalino hats. Others, over the years, have also gained sociopolitical connotations (Levis jeans, for example, which were once workwear, became a symbol of the Sixties youth revolution), while others, such as Hermès scarves and Chanel No.5 perfume, continue to be status symbols. This book with historical illustrations, cult advertising and beautiful still life shots of the products featured, narrates the history and anecdotes, and tells of the famous people and intrinsic values relating to the must-have fashion items.
