Creation - Transformation - Theology
The social and cultural challenges posed by the increasing threat to creation (climate change, destruction of biodiversity, etc.) are the starting point for new philosophical-ethical and theological reflections on the relationship between God, human beings and the world, as presented in this volume. God's creative impulse, which transforms anew, is at work in the actions of human beings and challenges us, in view of the threat to the "house of life" earth, to go new ways that make a common and good life possible. Creation and transformation are interrelated; an ecological theology of creation and practice of sustainability to be developed in the European context is to be embedded in the horizon of a global, liberating theology. Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Margit Eckholt, professor of dogmatics and fundamental theology at the Institute of Catholic Theology / University of Osnabrück, president of the European Society for Catholic Theology
Canids
The new Canid Action Plan synthesizes the current knowledge on the biology, ecology and status of all wild canid species, and outlines the conservation actions and projects needed to secure their long-term survival. Aiming at conservation biologists, ecologists, local conservation officials, administrators, educators, and all others dealing with canids in their jobs, the authors aspire to stimulate the conservation of all canids by highlighting problems, debating priorities and suggesting action.
De Volta Ao Jogo
DE VOLTA AO JOGO - VOO 998 é a continuação do dinâmico e eletrizante livro OS SETE ESCOLHIDOS - VOO 818 de Carlos Di Vienna. Muito mais enigmático e misterioso, nos mostra uma história repleta de enigmas onde o investigador Messias Ebras continua correndo contra o tempo para salvar os cinco novos escolhidos. Diante da repercussão do caso do Voo 818, o vilão que responde pelo codinome “Raposa” faz a Will uma proposta irrecusável: executar seu plano de vingança em troca da liberdade e um milhão de dólares. Mesmo sabendo que desta vez não estaria no comando, aceita. Messias e Sarah Ebras estão separados há um ano e em visita a família, antes de entrar, recebe no portão uma caixa de papelão. Logo percebem que se trata de um enigma de Will, e a história começa a se repetir. O avião decola com 124 passageiros, entre eles Daniel Ebras e família. Durante o voo, um é assassinado. Will diz que cinco serão escolhidos e sofrerão um atentado no qual levarão consigo várias pessoas. O jogo de vida ou morte é retomado. Com dinamismo, Carlos Di Vienna nos apresenta uma história tão impressionante e agitada quanto OS SETE ESCOLHIDOS.
Gestação da Terra
Do aparente caos que caracteriza a epopeia terrestre — cuja civilização cambaleia, errante —, emerge a ordem que encadeia os fenômenos sob a autoridade do governador solar, Jesus. Desde os primórdios, a Terra foi programada como um educandário que visa à redenção de diferentes raças espirituais, mas que guardam em comum o traço da rebeldia, quando não da maldade. Com esse projeto, levado a cabo pela mais excelsa inteligência de que temos notícia, o planeta não poderia deixar de ser um caldeirão fervente de interesses conflitantes, contradições e disputas atrozes. Em meio às quedas de braço entre facções rivais e ideologias escravizantes, sintetizadas na figura bíbli...
History and Memory
In this brillant meditation on conceptions of history, Le Goff traces the evolution of the historian's craft. Examining real and imagined oppositions between past and present, ancient and modern, oral and written history, History and Memory reveals the strands of continuity that have characterized historiography from ancient Mesopotamia to modern Europe.
Judaeo-Christian Intellectual Culture in the Seventeenth Century
MURIEL MCCARTHY This volume originated from a seminar organised by Richard H. Popkin in Marsh's Library on July 7-8, 1994. It was one of the most stimulating events held in the Library in recent years. Although we have hosted many special seminars on such subjects as rare books, the Huguenots, and Irish church history, this was the first time that a seminar was held which was specifically related to the books in our own collection. It seems surprising that this type of seminar has never been held before although the reason is obvious. Since there is no printed catalogue of the Library scholars are not aware of its contents. In fact the collection of books by late seventeenth and early eighteenth century European authors on, for example, such subjects as biblical criticism, political and religious controversy, is one of the richest parts of the Library's collections. Some years ago we were informed that of the 25,000 books in Marsh's at least 5,000 English books or books printed in England were printed between 1640 and 1700.
Privilege and Property
What can and can't be copied is a matter of law, but also of aesthetics, culture, and economics. The act of copying, and the creation and transaction of rights relating to it, evokes fundamental notions of communication and censorship, of authorship and ownership - of privilege and property. This volume conceives a new history of copyright law that has its roots in a wide range of norms and practices. The essays reach back to the very material world of craftsmanship and mechanical inventions of Renaissance Italy where, in 1469, the German master printer Johannes of Speyer obtained a five-year exclusive privilege to print in Venice and its dominions. Along the intellectual journey that follow...

Contested Cultural Heritage
Cultural heritage is material – tangible and intangible – that signifies a culture’s history or legacy. It has become a venue for contestation, ranging in scale from protesting to violently claimed and destroyed. But who defines what is to be preserved and what is to be erased? As cultural heritage becomes increasingly significant across the world, the number of issues for critical analysis and, hopefully, mediation, arise. The issue stems from various groups: religious, ethnic, national, political, and others come together to claim, appropriate, use, exclude, or erase markers and manifestations of their own and others’ cultural heritage as a means for asserting, defending, or denying critical claims to power, land, and legitimacy. Can cultural heritage be well managed and promoted while at the same time kept within parameters so as to diminish contestation? The cases herein rage from Greece, Spain, Egypt, the UK, Syria, Zimbabwe, Italy, the Balkans, Bénin, and Central America.
