Kennedy and the Speech That Changed America ISBN: 0143118978 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780143118978 Издательство: Random House (USA) Цена: 9810.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: 2013 is the 50th Anniversary of JFK's assassination. A narrative of Kennedy's quest to create a speech that would distill American dreams and empower a new generation, Ask Not is a beautifully detailed account of the inauguration and the weeks preceding it. During a time when America was divided, and its citizens torn by fears of war, John F. Kennedy took office and sought to do more than just reassure the American people. His speech marked the start of a brief, optimistic era. Thurston Clarke's portrait of JFK is balanced, revealing the president at his most dazzlingly charismatic and cunningly pragmatic. Thurston Clarke's latest book, JFK's Last Hundred Days, is currently available in hardcover.

Описание: In It for the Money After millennia as a dwarven colony, Druma has emerged as one of the richest nations in the known world, where white-robed prophets known as Kalistocrats have built a religion out of wealth.

Whether you are an entrepreneur with dreams of commercial domination, an adventurer seeking a wealthy patron, a scholar deciphering the esoteric Prophecies of Kalistrade, or an explorer hoping to uncover the extraordinary history of Avistan and its Kellid people, Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Druma, Profit and Prophecy holds what you seek and more. Explore Druma and discover the following: - Details on the long, storied history of the nation and the enigmatic Kalistocrats who rule it. - An extensive gazetteer of Druma's regions and major settlements. - A bestiary of new monsters found within Druma's borders. Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Druma, Profit and Prophecy is intended for use with the Pathfinder campaign setting, but it can easily be adapted to any fantasy world.

Christmas 2020 -2021 and it's been a funny year!
Santa does not know what to do.......Christmases should always be magical including a Christmas lockdown.
He is trying to make a plan about travelling to every girl and boy in the world during these Christmases.
Don't worry kids- Santa will shine through!
Lockdown Santa is a very different Santa Claus story, as they are very different times.
We see him video calling the furloughed elves under the Northern lights and telling them to make all the toys from their homes.
Due to the COVID rules, Santa will no longer be able to come down everyone's chimney.
This year, he will have to find another way to keep Christmas magical and deliver presents to each and every child's home.
We follow Santa to the Australian Outback; English back-to-back houses; jazz quarters; the worlds highest skyscrapers and the largest shantytowns as he tries to see every child under lockdown conditions.
It has been a tough year for everyone, so Santa wants to thank all the carers for their bravery and hard work by giving them a little extra something too!
Follow Santa's adventures as he shines through for every little child on Christmas Eve night.
Lockdown Santa is a delightful rhyming story that remembers the special Christmases during lockdowns and allows children to keep their firm belief in Father Christmas!
Lockdown Santa has traditional handpainted pictures that bring Christmas warmth for children. This special Christmas story can be read and remembered for many more Christmases to come.

Автор: Naomi Thurston Название: Studying Christianity in China: Constructions of an Emerging Discourse ISBN: 9004361286 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789004361287 Издательство: Brill Цена: 73050.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Studying Christianity in China introduces an emerging academic trend in contemporary Chinese scholarship. Through qualitative interviews with leading experts in Chinese Christian studies, Naomi Thurston has investigated the ongoing conversation between China and Christianity. Since the 1980s, this conversation has given rise to an interdisciplinary academic field that is quickly gaining traction as a cutting-edge, cross-cultural discourse. The Chinese intellectuals driving this field are encountered as unique transmitters of cultural knowledge: they are cultural mediators working in a range of humanities and social science disciplines who are not only re-interpreting Western theology, but are also lending a new voice to Chinese expressions of the Christian faith. As such, they are at the forefront of a novel force in World Christianity.

Ella Polansky is as hip as a kindergarten teacher can be. No apple or alphabet sweaters for her. Ever. And when she plays a gig with her accordion, she sometimes steps to the microphone in red boots and tight jeans to add some percussive beatboxing.
But Ella loses her cool when someone pushes her beloved accordion off a balcony and kills the unpopular director of a local musical theater production. Who is the logical suspect? Ella, of course, and she's not happy about it. Somehow she has to persuade handsome Detective Dan Sherman that she's innocent, get her teaching job back, and rescue her kindergartners from the mean substitute teacher they all hate. Oh, and she also needs to figure out how to help her best friend, who is accidentally pregnant by a conceited male model with bad grammar and absolutely no potential as a father. Ella enlists the help of friends, family and the doting older men in a polka band (yes, a polka band) to discover the truth and clear her name.
