Описание: Eighty-five-year-old Hendrik Groen is fed up to his false teeth with coffee mornings and bingo. __________ Along with fellow members of the Old-But-Not-Dead Club, he embarks on a wild spree of octogenarian anarchy. But the home's director will not stand for any more drunken bar crawls, illicit fireworks or geriatric romance.

The good name of the care home will not be disgraced. But when Hendrik learns of a plan to close the home down he realises life outside it could be much worse. He and the gang must stop the closure before it's too late.

Or drop dead trying . . .

Описание: Excerpt from Rambles Through the Archives of the Colony of the Cape of Good Hope: 1688-1700

In this form many years of Colonial History have already been completed by me; and I trust within a very early period to be able to publish the whole in the same manner in which the papers of the two first years 1651 - 53, have seen the light.

Описание: We all live life counting the years, noting the milestones. But is it the years in our life or the life in our years that matter? We all go to school to learn, to grow up. Is it about how smart we are or how we are smart? Society pulls the wool over our eyes because we allow it. Sometimes we do not ever realise. But do we want our life lived for us, fixed and determined by things outside ourselves? We may believe that we are really that helpless. Or not. And then something can happen to us that causes us to wake up, step out of the fog, seemingly to see clearly for the first time. What am I doing? Where am I? Who am I really? And what has this life been about that I thought I was living and now seems like something foreign to me? I perceive the world as if through new eyes, hear things previously silent, feel and sense anew. You are not alone on this journey, this waking up to yourself and all about you. Do not be afraid. This is your glorious adventure. And these poems are part of my adventure that I will share with you.

Описание: In the course of the early sixteenth century the printed book decoration underwent a double metamorphosis. First stylistically, through the replacement of the previous medieval mostly floral embellishments by new motifs copied from Islamic or Byzantine sources, or borrowed from antiquity. Second technically, by the gradual inclusion of cast ornaments into the printer's bills-of-fount. They increasingly replaced the prestigious, sumptuous and time-consuming hand-painted illumination and decoration, or the less costly and sometimes crude woodcut techniques.This survey focuses on one pattern of these Renaissance ornaments, namely the vine leaf, or as it is commonly known, the "Aldine" leaf. The design is also known as an ivy leaf or, as palaeographers and some typographers call it, a hedera or floral heart.As a cast sort the vine leaf was introduced in the early sixteenth-century. It became rapidly one of the most favoured decorative designs in Renaissance typography and has remained a steadfast sort in a printer's case since then. The motif has mainly been studied from a designer's point of view, but a more bibliographically oriented survey seems to be missing. To fill up this void this survey aims to register all sixteenth-century sorts known.Next to a facsimile in true scale, the bibliography contains the punchcutter's name, the size, occurrences, type-specimens, preserved artefacts and notes.

Описание: Art historians and cultural scholars have become interested in the subject of exile as the locus of artistic experience as well as in the travels and wanderings of painters, sculptors, and architects in search of new insights about the world. Researchers have also focused on artworks created in the context of migration. This volume broadens the perspective on these phenomena, which have been studied only separately until now.

Описание: Since the time of the Enlightenment in Western Europe, discussions of faith and reason have often pitted the believer against the skeptic, the theist against the atheist, and the person of one faith against the person of no professed faith. But the relation of reason to faith has been a matter of debate among believers as well. There are those who hold that religious faith can be proven or supported by rational argument. Others say that to try to give reasons and arguments does violence to religious faith, or opens it to misunderstanding and doubt, or trivializes it. Responses to the Enlightenment: An Exchange on Foundations, Faith, and Community is a dialogue between Hendrik Hart and William Sweet, two philosophers who identify themselves as Christians, and who seek to respond to the challenges of the Enlightenment and its legacy. The authors approach the relation of faith to reason, however, in very different ways: Hart from the perspective of the Calvinian tradition and postmodern philosophy, Sweet from the Catholic tradition and analytic philosophy. Among the topics discussed are the nature of religious faith and of reason, liberalism and orthodoxy in religion, the relation of religious experience and rationality, and building community in a religiously and culturally pluralistic world. This exchange presents two distinctive perspectives to some of the major challenges of the reason to religious belief, but seeks to find common ground between them.
