In queste lettere, scritte dal cuore della città di Londra, l'autore condivide intuizioni, tracce di meditazione e di approfondimento che interpellano il discernimento e la responsabilità personali più che fornire risposte preconfezionate valide in ogni situazione. Esse raccontano infatti le sfide, le fatiche, le gioie di una realtà quotidiana fatta di incontri, dialoghi, viaggi a Gerusalemme e in Galilea, storie d'amore e di malattia, l'impatto del Covid-19, la guerra che devasta terre non lontane dalla nostra Europa. Nate dal silenzio e dalla preghiera, queste lettere forniscono parole di incoraggiamento, parole nuove su ciò che è e può diventare 'casa'. Un luogo in cui si è sicuri e pienamente accettati, in cui poter gioire persino nella prova, uno spazio al cuore di una comunità basata sull'amorevole riconoscimento che i bisogni degli altri, e in particolare dei più deboli, sono la mia preoccupazione.

Un libro singolare, insolito e affascinante: una stimolante condivisione attorno a frammenti di esperienze personali e fulminanti intuizioni interiori, e al contempo una sorta di manuale pratico per la nascita di realtà comunitarie cristiane significative. Come costruire una comunità che condivida una vita spirituale improntata alla quiete e all'accoglienza in una città frenetica? Come imparare, nel bel mezzo di una giornata impegnativa, a fare spazio, trovare il tempo, vivere la differenza approfondendo il nostro amore? Queste pagine ripropongono tesori di saggezza cresciuti in una pratica comune, guidando in una meditazione che spalanca le porte di un luogo di pace e comunione. Chiunque potrà scoprirvi come trovare il suo 'monastero' ovunque si trovi.

Few people have been as deeply involved in motorcycle sport as Chris Carter, a larger than life character and raconteur who was for a great number of years a journalist, commentator and broadcaster at the very top level of motorcycle sport. This memoir is a funny, fascinating and unique insider view of professional motorcycling over more than six decades. From scrambling in the 1960s, to four decades of international road racing - including Daytona and Macau - and on to trials and speedway. Packed with remarkable stories and amusing anecdotes, as well as interesting reflections and astute observations, it is a light-hearted, highly readable autobiography which lifts the lid on an extraordinary world. In past times, racing paddocks were open and friendly, and Chris felt part of a big, happy family. He lived cheek by jowl with the very top riders and shared their triumphs and tragedies; to many, he was a friend and confidante. Honest, frank and direct, Chris tells things exactly as they were, and provides insights into a fast disappearing world.

(Applause Libretto Library). Music by Richard Rodgers Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II New book by Douglas Carter Beane Original book by Oscar Hammerstein II In March 2013, a new Rodgers and Hammerstein musical opened on Broadway new to Broadway, but based on a TV musical first written nearly 60 years before, and beloved by audiences all over the world. It was Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella , which very quickly became the belle of the ball of the Broadway season, winning cheers for its fresh take on a timeless classic. Douglas Carter Beane created a new, Tony-nominated book that was hailed for complementing the inspirational themes of Rodgers and Hammerstein with a 21st-century sensibility, giving the musical new characters, surprising plot twists, and revelatory moments that harkened back to the Charles Perrault version of the fairy tale. The score was cheered as well: the familiar songs from the television versions 'In My Own Little Corner,' 'Impossible,' 'A Lovely Night,' 'Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful,' and so on along with undiscovered gems from the 'trunk.' Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella was hailed by the Associated Press as a 'charming, witty and relevant take on the classic story' and cheered by New York magazine as a 'wised-up, wit-spackled CINDERELLA... As solidly entertaining as they come!'

A bicycle-decorating contest provides Andy with a humorous and highly appreciated opportunity to save the hometown parade.

There are two things Andy Shane wants more than anything — to win the contest for best-decorated bike in the parade, and . . . to be a hero. He has a great idea for the bike part, although high-strung Dolores is upping the ante with her paper-daisy-covered helmets for her and her cat. But the second goal has Andy stumped, until the parade is in motion and his eagle eyes catch the reason why the drum corps has suddenly thrown the marchers out of whack. Pass the baton to a lovably low-key hero as he saves the day in a new adventure for early chapter-book readers.

On a wintry day in December 1890, near a creek named Wounded Knee on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, the Seventh Cavalry of the U.S. Army opened fire on an encampment of Sioux Indians. This assault claimed more than 250 lives, including those of many Indian women and children. The tragedy at Wounded Knee has often been written about, but the existing photographs have received little attention until now.

Eyewitness at Wounded Knee brings together and assesses for the first time some 150 photographs that were made before and immediately after the massacre. Present at the scene were two itinerant photographers, George Trager and Clarence Grant Morelodge, whose work has never before been published. Accompanying commentaries focus on both the Indian and the military sides of the story. Richard E. Jensen analyzes the political and economic quagmire in which the Sioux found themselves after 1877. R. Eli Paul considers the army's role at Wounded Knee. John E. Carter discusses the photographers and also the reporters and relic hunters who were looking to profit from the misfortune of others.

For this Bison Books edition each image has been digitally enhanced and restored, making the photographs as compelling as the event itself. Heather Cox Richardson tells the story behind the endeavor to present a meaningful account of this significant historical event.

Hebel (U. of Maryland) and McCarter (George Washington School of Medicine) explain the principles of epidemiology and how to interpret data from medical studies, and provide questions for applying the concepts and testing comprehension. The seventh edition adds brief sections on statistical power, one-tailed P values, study-wise significance levels, and receiver operating curve analysis.
