Title :
La vita immaginataAuthor: Porter Andrew Publisher: Feltrinelli Steven Mills è arrivato a un bivio. Sua moglie e suo figlio se ne sono andati, forse per sempre. Ma nella vita di Steven c'è stato un altro abbandono, anni prima, quando il padre - brillante e carismatico professore universitario - scompare dopo uno scandalo mai chiarito completamente. Steven allora si mette sulle sue tracce, forse come unico appiglio a una realtà che gli sta sfuggendo di mano. Mentre guida lungo la costa della California, alla ricerca degli amici, dei familiari e degli ex colleghi del padre, l'infanzia e l'adolescenza di Steven prendono forma: le leggendarie feste in piscina dei genitori, i film in bianco e nero sul proiettore del cortile, i segreti condivisi con l'amico più caro. Ogni conversazione nel presente rivela un altro strato del passato di suo padre, un'altra intuizione sulla sua assenza. Eppure, a ogni rivelazione, quell'uomo che per un attimo sembra apparirgli finalmente davanti agli occhi, l'attimo successivo scompare di nuovo, costringendo il figlio ad affrontare la verità sulla propria vita. Ricco di atmosfera e dotato di una bussola emotiva straordinariamente sicura, 'La vita immaginata' è un romanzo indagatore e nostalgico sull'impossibilità di comprendere i propri genitori, sui primi amori e fallimenti, sull'innocenza perduta, sui legami indistruttibili tra un padre e un figlio. € 19,00

Fundamentals of New Testament Textual CriticismAuthor: Porter Stanley E., Pitts Andrew W. Publisher: Eerdmans Pub Co This book provides a student-level overview of the foundational elements necessary to grasp textual criticism of the New Testament, also addressing such issues as canonical formation and translation theory. Stanley Porter and Andrew Pitts cover a range of topics related to New Testament textual criticism, including appropriate definitions, the canon, the manuscripts of the New Testament, and the best methodologies for determining the original reading when manuscripts disagree. They also provide a history of the various editions of the New Testament with a how-to guide for using and understanding them. The end of each chapter includes a list of key vocabulary and a select bibliography, making this text especially useful for teachers and students. An appendix introduces students to the tools of textual criticism and invites discussion on how they might use textual criticism in a future classroom or ministry setting. € 20,30

Title :
Sharing the Common PoolAuthor: Porter Charles R. Jr., Sansom Andrew (FRW) Publisher: Texas A & M Univ Pr If all the people, municipalities, agencies, businesses, power plants, and other entities that think they have a right to the water in Texas actually tried to exercise those rights, there would not be enough water to satisfy all claims, no matter how legitimate. In Sharing the Common Pool: Water Rights in the Everyday Lives of Texans, water rights expert Charles Porter explains in the simplest possible terms who has rights to the water in Texas, who determines who has those rights, and who benefits or suffers because of it. The origins of Texas water law, which contains elements of the state’s Spanish, English, and Republic heritages, contributed to the development of a system that defines water by where it sits, flows, or falls and assigns its ownership accordingly. Over time, this seemingly logical, even workable, set of expectations has evolved into a tortuous collection of laws, permits, and governing authorities under the onslaught of population growth and competing interests?agriculture, industry, cities?all with insatiable thirsts. In sections that cover ownership, use, regulation, real estate, and policy, Porter lays out in as straightforward a fashion as possible just how we manage (and mismanage) water in this state, what legal cases have guided the debate, and where the future might take us as old rivalries, new demands, and innovative technologies?such as hydraulic fracturing of oil shale formations (?fracking”)?help redefine water policy. € 21,00

Title :
In Between DaysAuthor: Porter Andrew Publisher: Vintage Books “Andrew Porter is a born storyteller . . . He makes his own space instantly and invites you in. Hats off!” —Barry Hannah From a commanding new voice in fiction comes a novel as perceptive as it is generous: a portrait of an American family trying to cope in our world today, a story of choices and doubts and transgressions. The Hardings are teetering on the brink. Elson—once one of Houston’s most promising architects, who never quite lived up to expectations—is recently divorced from his wife of thirty years, Cadence. Their grown son, Richard, is still living at home: driving his mother’s minivan, working at a local coffee shop, resisting the career as a writer that beckons him. But when Chloe Harding gets kicked out of her East Coast college, for reasons she can’t explain to either her parents or her older brother, the Hardings’ lives start to unravel. Chloe returns to Houston, but the dangers set in motion back at school prove inescapable. Told with piercing insight, taut psychological suspense, and the wisdom of a true master of character, this is a novel about the vagaries of love and family, about betrayal and forgiveness, about the possibility and impossibility of coming home. € 13,40

Title :
Christian Origins and Hellenistic JudaismAuthor: Porter Stanley E. (EDT), Pitts Andrew W. (EDT) Publisher: Brill Academic Pub This collection of essays is the second volume in a three-part series on Early Christianity in its Hellenistic contexts. This particular volume focuses on the background of Hellenistic Judaism against which Early Christianity arose. After an editorial introduction, the text is divided into two portions. The first explores the social contexts of Hellenistic Judaism, while the second considers literary and religious contexts. The essays in this first section interrogate the connections between Hellenism and biblical canons, conceptual boundaries between resurrection and immortality in Hellenistic Judaism, the ethnic context of Paul's letters, and Paul's anthropology beyond the Judaism/Hellenism divide. The second section of essays turns to issues like whether John the Baptist was a member of the Qumran community, rhetoric and persuasion in the wisdom of King Solomon, dialectics in its Talmudic and Hellenistic contexts, 'ancient science fiction' in ancient stories about journeying into space, prophecy in the Torah, and more. There are two indexes in the back, one for modern and one for ancient sources. The contributors are American and European professors of bible studies or theology, as well as seminarians and theologians. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) € 260,90
