Quantic love
Al CERN, el centre d'investigació més avançat del món, entre experiments de viatges en el temps i de teletransportació, entre partícules que superen la velocitat de la llum i altres que revelen l'origen de l'Univers, la jove Laila s'enfronta al misteri més gran que existeix: com triar entre dos amors. D'una banda, l'Alessio, un atractiu periodista, i de l'altra, en Brian, un cerebral científic que amaga un gran secret.
Battle Descriptions as Literary Texts
Battle descriptions are usually seen as the raw material of the military historian, who uses them to explain why generals won or lost a given battle. This volume does not aim to contribute to this discussion; it rather approaches battle descriptions as literary texts that interact with the expectations of a given audience. Therefore literary traditions in structure, vocabulary and topics of battle descriptions should be explored. The transgression of genre-borders – also literary and fictional texts are included – and a broad comparative approach, combining evidence from the third millennium BC up to the 20th century AD, makes cultural specifics and differences more easily perceivable.

Pelegrí Casades
El present volum és una edició anotada de les memòries inèdites de l’arqueòleg i jurista català Pelegrí Casades i Gramatxes (Barcelona, 1855-1947). Al llarg del text, Casades reviu la seva trajectòria com a excursionista científic i divulgador arqueològic, alhora que reconstrueix els moments més significatius de la seva vida tot relacionant-los amb el convuls context històric que li va tocar de viure. Nombroses anècdotes, estirabots, tafaneries, reflexions i insults salpebren un text imprescindible per conèixer la vida i l’obra d’aquest barceloní il·lustre i heterodox, que Josep Pla va definir com a «terrible i menut rondinaire, biliós, malcarat, sàtrapa i llengua viperina desenfrenada».

Understanding Material Text Cultures
The present volume comprises 6 highly original studies on material text cultures in different nontypographic societies stretching from the 3rd millennium cuneiform textual record of Ancient Mesopotamia to 20th century Qur'anic boards of northern and central African provenience. It provides a multidisciplinary approach to material text cultures complementary to the interdisciplinary, strongly theory-grounded research scheme of the CRC 933. Six research fellowships were awarded to outstanding young researchers for innovative, high-risk research proposals pertinent to the CRC 933's overall research scheme. Their studies contained in this volume add multidisciplinary dimension to material text culture research, satisfy the curiosity as to the applicability of the theoretical premises and methodology developed and tested by the CRC 933 to research on inscribed artefacts carried out on an international level and in different research environments and contribute to anchoring material text culture research as proposed by the CRC 933 within the tradition and broader context of other research strategies devoted to the material dimension of writing, such as the filologia materiale.
Divine Violence and the Character of God
There is much violence in the Old Testament, both human and divine. Christians and non-Christians react differently to what they read about the God of the Old Testament. Some people are so affected by the violence found in the Old Testament that they give up on God, stop going to church and reading the Bible, and eventually lose their faith. Others are offended by divine violence and seek to find an alternative explanation for the violent acts of God in the Old Testament. A popular alternative in the twenty-first century is to return to the second century and adopt some form of Marcionism and make the God of the Old Testament to be a different God from the God revealed by Christ in the New Testament. The purpose of this book is not a defense of God and his use of violence. The author seeks to understand why God acted the way he did and to understand the reason for divine violence in the Old Testament. Yahweh did use violence in his work of reconciliation. However, the use of violence was necessary when everything else failed. Israel provoked God to anger. When God brought judgment upon his people, he did so with tears in his eyes.
