Описание: Through a series of lively and absorbing portraits of iconic modern Chinese leaders and thinkers, two of today's foremost specialists on China provide a panoramic narrative of this country's rise to preeminence that is at once analytical and personal. How did a nation, after a long and painful period of dynastic decline, intellectual upheaval, foreign occupation, civil war, and revolution, manage to burst forth onto the world stage with such an impressive run of hyperdevelopment and wealth creation--culminating in the extraordinary dynamism of China today? Wealth and Power answers this question by examining the lives of eleven influential officials, writers, activists, and leaders whose contributions helped create modern China. This fascinating survey begins in the lead-up to the first Opium War with Wei Yuan, the nineteenth-century scholar and reformer who was one of the first to urge China to borrow ideas from the West. It concludes in our time with human-rights advocate and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Liu Xiaobo, an outspoken opponent of single-party rule. Along the way, we meet such titans of Chinese history as the Empress Dowager Cixi, public intellectuals Feng Guifen, Liang Qichao, and Chen Duxiu, Nationalist stalwarts Sun Yat-sen and Chiang Kai-shek, and Communist Party leaders Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, and Zhu Rongji. The common goal that unites all of these disparate figures is their determined pursuit of fuqiang, "wealth and power." This abiding quest for a restoration of national greatness in the face of a "century of humiliation" at the hands of the Great Powers came to define the modern Chinese character. It's what drove both Mao and Deng to embark on root-and-branch transformations of Chinese society, first by means of Marxism-Leninism, then by authoritarian capitalism. And this determined quest remains the key to understanding many of China's actions today. By unwrapping the intellectual antecedents of today's resurgent China, Orville Schell and John Delury supply much-needed insight into the country's tortured progression from nineteenth-century decline to twenty-first-century boom. By looking backward into the past to understand forces at work for hundreds of years, they help us understand China today and the future that this singular country is helping shape for all of us.

After experiencing two near-death experiences, Orville Douglas Denison quickly realized the boundless power of spiritual intelligence at work, not just in his life, but in the lives of all of us.
In an inspiring first-hand account, Denison shares a collection of detailed visions that transport others on an introspective ride through time and space as he views the future where all human minds are reprogrammed with "A New World Order" and a new thought process of "What Can I Do For You?" Human-to-human interactions are altered. Wars stop because of the new thought process. Additionally, Denison's visions take others back to a time when his deceased father-in-law appeared to him in solid form. Throughout his visions and stories, Denison asks introspective questions that encourage us to embrace the influence of visions to guide our direction in life.
Visions is a collection of true stories that highlight the power of spiritual forces at work in one man's life as he learns to rely on his visions for guidance and creation of inventions.

Описание: Avec sa place majestueuse dans la nature et avec sa structure racinaire, arborescente et genealogique, l’arbre possede traditionnellement une symbolique importante dans le paysage identitaire. Lorsque la symbolique de l’arbre est depossedee de ses caracteristiques et que sa structure et sa force sont menacees, elle revele une vision tourmentee du paysage identitaire. Au niveau de son systeme racinaire, la symbolique de l’arbre est limitee, destabilisee, voire deracinee de sa force, et la symbolique du rhizome offre une autre facon d’apprehender la structure genealogique. Pour devoiler les aspects de la colonisation, Thierry T. Gustave explore la symbolique de l’arbre et celle du rhizome dans les ?uvres litteraires de la Martinique et de la Guadeloupe. Son ouvrage analyse plus particulierement la flore antillaise comme metaphore et representation du paysage identitaire dans luie et vent sur Telumee Miracle de Simone Schwarz-Bart, Delice et le fromager de Xavier Orville, et Pays mele de Maryse Conde.

Among all the large whales on Earth, the most unusual and least studied is the narwhal, the northernmost whale on the planet and the one most threatened by global warming. Narwhals thrive in the fjords and inlets of northern Canada and Greenland. These elusive whales, whose long tusks were the stuff of medieval European myths and Inuit legends, are uniquely adapted to the Arctic ecosystem and are able to dive below thick sheets of ice to depths of up to 1,500 meters in search of their prey-halibut, cod, and squid.
Join Todd McLeish as he travels high above the Arctic circle to meet:
Teams of scientific researchers studying the narwhal's life cycle and the mysteries of its tusk
Inuit storytellers and hunters
Animals that share the narwhals' habitat: walruses, polar bears, bowhead and beluga whales, ivory gulls, and two kinds of seals
McLeish consults logbooks kept by whalers and explorers and interviews folklorists and historians to tease out the relationship between the real narwhal and the mythical unicorn. In Colorado, he visits climatologists studying changes in the seasonal cycles of the Arctic ice. From a history of the trade in narwhal tusks to descriptions of narwhals' vocalizations as heard through hydrophones, Narwhals reveals the beauty and thrill of the narwhal and its habitat, and the threat it faces from a rapidly changing world.

Описание: Social Security is a self-financing program that provides monthly cash benefits to retired or disabled workers and their family members and to the family members of deceased workers. Workers become eligible for Social Security benefits for themselves and their family members by working in Social Security-covered employment. Social Security is of ongoing interest both because of its role in supporting a large portion of the population and because of its long-term financial imbalance. The Social Security benefits that are paid to worker beneficiaries and to workers dependents and survivors are based on workers past earnings. Retired worker benefits can be affected by other adjustments, for example, the windfall elimination provision.

Humanity's purpose has long been the center of controversial debate by all sects, communities and religious persuasion throughout our history. The obvious and undeniable observation is that we are here, but the more difficult question to answer is "Why are we here?"
I believe for each of us, the answer may be different, if we should examine the question from the position of purpose, but what about those who believe we are just here by chance, and for no apparent reason? How valid and believable are their arguments in the cosmic scale of our reality? It is obvious that the world is much bigger than we could ever possibly know, yet with a majority of existence unknown, we can barely handle what is known.
Made In God's Image is a conversation-starter, because I believe there is something to that statement. We know what we became after man fell in the Garden, but what was man before the fall? How did we look? How did we function? Surely, this, that we know now, is not it. If there was a way to leave such perfection and unity with the Creator, there must be a way back. Finding the Ancient Path is an imaginative, colorful and picturesque journey from the past to a possible future outside the realms of what we already know. I can't say for sure what it looks like, but I believe that is where we are going.
The purpose of this journey is to trigger your own imagination to see a world outside of time, space and matter, and to begin to realize that your being here is by divine providence.
