W księgach świętych Ojciec, który jest w niebie, spotyka się miłościwie ze swymi dziećmi i prowadzi z nimi rozmowę. Ta rozmowa zawsze dokonuje się w określonych ramach czasu i przestrzeni, w losach poszczególnych osób. Biblia, prezentując nam całą galerię konkretnych ludzkich postaci, jest najpiękniejszym świadectwem owego miłosnego spotkania Boga z człowiekiem.Niniejsza publikacja stanowi jasne i atrakcyjne przybliżenie losów niektórych spośród bohaterów, jakich spotykamy na kartach Starego Testamentu. Szczególnie wartościową czynią tę książkę determinacja i dbałość, z jaką Autor ukazuje uniwersalne przesłanie religijne, a więc to, co współczesny czytelnik może wyczytać dla siebie z losów danych postaci.Ksiądz Tomasz Jelonek, krakowianin urodzony w 1937 roku, teolog z tytułem profesora w dziedzinie biblistyki, profesor zwyczajny Nauk Społecznych PAT (obecnie UPJP II), wykładowca matematyki na UJ.Kierownik Katedry Teologii Małżeństwa i Rodziny, dyrektor Instytutu Nauk o Rodzinie.

Modlnicki kościół wzniesiony w 1553 r. doczekał się pierwszego, obszernego, albumowego opracowania, które daje gruntowny obraz jego dziejów wraz z obszernym opisem wyposażenia, przywołując również historię związanych z nim osób. Silna więź autora Stanisława Nowina Konopki z tym miejscem wynika z ponad 200-letniej obecności rodziny Konopków w Modlnicy, gdzie dwór i kościół były zawsze ze sobą nieomal organicznie związane. Ta trwająca do dzisiaj więź zainspirowała młodego autora do napisania książki, w której historia drewnianej świątyni wzbogacona jest o niepublikowane dotąd prastare wspomnienia rodzinne. Tekstowi towarzyszą liczne zdjęcia Rafała Monity uzupełnione ciekawymi zdjęciami archiwalnymi.Ten przebogaty w treści album, który jest kolejnym tomem wydawnictwa Astraia z serii o kościołach zabytkowych, skłoni czytelnika, by zachwycić się pięknem tego drewnianego kościoła położonego w najbliższym sąsiedztwie Krakowa.

From the TIME 100 author of the Sunday Times and number 1 New York Times bestseller So You Want to Talk About Race, a subversive history of white male American identity — now with a new preface.
‘One of the most admired writers and “internet yellers” around… [Mediocre is] ever more vital… Oluo’s meeting the time — this movement against white supremacy and systems of oppression. But the question she keeps asking in her work: Are we?’ IBRAM X KENDI
‘Mediocre paints an urgent, honest picture of how white male identity has spawned unrest in the country’s political ideology… It’s a necessary read for the world we live in’ CHIDOZIE OBASI, Harper’s Bazaar
‘[Ijeoma’s] books don’t come from a place of hate, but of determination to make change… [Mediocre is] another amazing book’ TREVOR NOAH on The Daily Show
What happens to a country that tells generation after generation of white men that they deserve power? What happens when success is defined by status over women and people of colour, instead of actual accomplishments?
Through the last 150 years of American history — from the post-Reconstruction South and the mythic stories of cowboys, to the present-day controversy over NFL protests and the backlash against the rise of women in politics — Ijeoma Oluo exposes the devastating consequences of white male supremacy on women, people of colour, and white men themselves.
As provocative as it is essential, Mediocre investigates the real costs of white male power in order to imagine a new white male identity, one free from racism and sexism.
‘[An] analytical and compassionate book’ New Statesman
‘Deftly combines history and sociological study with personal narrative, and the result is both uncomfortable and illuminating’ Washington Post
‘Ijeoma’s sharp yet accessible writing about the American racial landscape made her 2018 book So You Want to Talk About Race an invaluable resource . . . Mediocre builds on this exemplary work, homing in on the role of white patriarchy in creating and upholding a system built to disenfranchise anyone who isn’t a white male’ TIME
Throughout our lives, we are always looking for ways to keep our mind sharp and effortlessly productive. In this book, globetrotting neurosurgeon Dr Sanjay Gupta offers insights from top scientists all over the world, whose cutting edge research can help you heighten and protect brain function and maintain cognitive health at any age.
Keep Sharp debunks common myths about ageing and cognitive decline, explores whether there’s a ‘best’ diet or exercise regimen for the brain, and explains whether it’s healthier to play video games that test memory and processing speed, or to engage in more social interaction.
Discover what we can learn from ‘super-brained’ people who are in their eighties and nineties but showing no signs of slowing down – and whether there are truly any benefits to drugs, supplements and vitamins. Dr Gupta also addresses brain disease, particularly Alzheimer’s, answers all your questions about signs and symptoms, and shows you both how to ward against it and how to care for a partner in cognitive decline.
The book also provides readers with a personalized twelve-week programme featuring practical strategies to strengthen your brain every day.
Keep Sharp is the only owner’s manual you’ll need to keep your brain young and healthy at any age!
Great cities are complex, chaotic and colossal. These are cities that dominate the world stage and define eras; where ideas flourish, revolutions are born and history is made.
Through ten unique cities, from the founding of ancient capitals to buzzing modern megacities, Paul Strathern explores how urban centres lead civilisation forward, enjoying a moment of glory before passing on the baton.
We journey back to discover Babylonian mathematics, Athenian theatre and intellectual debate, and Roman construction that has lasted millennia. We see Constantinople evolve into Istanbul, revolutionary sparks fly in Enlightenment Paris, and the railways, canals and ships that built Imperial London. In Moscow men build spaceships while other men starve, New York’s skyscrapers rise up to a soundtrack of jazz, Mumbai becomes home to immense wealth and poverty, and Beijing’s economic transformation leads the way.
Each city has its own distinct personality, and Ten Cities that Led the World brings their rich and diverse histories to life, reminding us of the foundations we have built on and how our futures will be shaped.
'Boldly ambitious, deeply affecting, and magisterial in scope' Steve Silberman, author of Neurotribes
'Expansive and thoughtful, it illuminates the complexity and elusiveness of his subject' New Statesman
Depression is a leading cause of disability around the world today, a growing health crisis that affects us all. It is a complex and diverse condition. But it is also highly treatable.
In this profound and sweeping history, Alex Riley charts the macabre, ingenious, and often surprising developments in the science of mental healthcare over the last 2000 years. In the pursuit to understand his own experiences with mental illness, Riley interweaves his own family history with fascinating stories of biological and psychological treatments which illuminate the past, question the current state of diagnosis, and investigate the hype and hopes for future treatments.
From the re-emergence of long-forgotten therapies to a group of grandmothers who stand at the forefront of a revolution in mental healthcare, A Cure for Darkness is an essential exploration of one of the most pressing problems of our time.
Why do some ideas make it big while others fail to take off? According to award-winning behavioural economist John List, the answer comes down to a single question: Can the idea scale?
Countless enterprises fall apart the moment they scale; their positive results fizzle, they lose valuable time and money, and the great electric charge of potential that drove them early on disappears. In short, they suffer a voltage drop. Yet success and failure are not about luck - in fact, there is a rhyme and reason as to why some ideas fail and why some make it big. Certain ideas are predictably scalable, while others are predictably destined for disaster.
In The Voltage Effect, University of Chicago economist John A. List explains how to identify the ideas that will be successful when scaled, and how to avoid those that won't. Drawing on his own original research, as well as fascinating examples from the realms of business, government, education, and public health, he details the five signature elements that cause voltage drops, and unpacks the four proven techniques for increasing positive results - or voltage gains - and scaling great ideas to their fullest potential.
By understanding the science of scaling, we can drive change in our schools, workplaces, communities, and society at large. Because a better world can only be built at scale.
Following the international critical and commercial success of The Cost of Living, this final volume of Levy's 'Living Autobiography' is an exhilarating, thought-provoking and boldly intimate meditation on home and the spectres that haunt it. It resumes and expands Levy's pioneering examination of a female life lived in the storm of the present tense, asking essential questions about womanhood, modernity, creative identity and personal freedom. From one of the great thinkers and writers of our time, Real Estate is a memoir and a manifesto for radical emancipation - as an artist, as a woman, and as an inheritor of the real estate of the now.
What does it mean to be a good man? To be a good father, or a good partner? A good brother, or a good friend?
In this clear-sighted analysis, social historian Ivan Jablonka offers a re-examination of the patriarchy and its impact on men. Ranging widely across cultures, from Mesopotamia to Confucianism to Christianity to the revolutions of the eighteenth century, Jablonka uncovers the origins of our patriarchal societies. He then offers an updated model of masculinity based on a theory of gender justice which aims for a redistribution of gender, just as social justice demands the redistribution of wealth.
Arguing that it is high time for men to be as involved in gender justice as women, Jablonka shows that in order to build a more equal and respectful society, we must gain a deeper understanding of the structure of patriarchy - and reframe the conversation so that men define themselves by the rights of women. Widely acclaimed in France, this is an important work from a major thinker.
This Way to the Universe is a celebration of the astounding, ongoing scientific investigations that have revealed the nature of reality at its smallest, at its largest, and at the scale of our daily lives. The enigmas Professor Michael Dine discusses are like landmarks on a fantastic journey to the edge of the universe.
Dine is widely recognized as one of the greatest living physicists, having made profound contributions to our understanding of matter, time, the Big Bang and even what might have come before it. Asked where to find out about the Big Bang, Dark Matter and Energy, the Higgs boson - the cutting edge of physics now - Dine had no single book he could recommend. This is his accessible, authoritative and up-to-date answer. Written in language anyone can follow, if you are looking for one book to help you understand physics, this is it.
'Richard Dawkins is a thunderously gifted science writer.' Sunday Times
'It may be a collection of shorter parts, but the book is in no sense Dawkins made simple. It amounts to a substantive whole which offers a unitary panoramic view across his entire intellectual life.' Spectator
Including conversations with Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Steven Pinker, Matt Ridley and more, this is an essential guide to the most exciting ideas of our time and their proponents from our most brilliant science communicator.
Books Do Furnish a Life is divided by theme, including celebrating nature, exploring humanity, and interrogating faith. For the first time, it brings together Richard Dawkins' forewords, afterwords and introductions to the work of some of the leading thinkers of our age - Carl Sagan, Lawrence Krauss, Jacob Bronowski, Lewis Wolpert - with a selection of his reviews to provide an electrifying celebration of science writing, both fiction and non-fiction. It is also a sparkling addition to Dawkins' own remarkable canon of work.
Plenty of other scientists write well, but no one writes like Dawkins... here is Dawkins the teacher, the scholar, the polemicist, the joker, the aesthete, the poet, the satirist, the man of compassion as well as indignation, the slayer of superstition and, above all, the scientist. - Areo Magazine
