The Cnidaria, Past, Present and Future
This volume presents a broad panorama of the current status of research of invertebrate animals considered belonging to the phylum Cnidaria, such as hydra, jellyfish, sea anemone, and coral. In this book the Cnidarians are traced from the Earth’s primordial oceans, to their response to the warming and acidifying oceans. Due to the role of corals in the carbon and calcium cycles, various aspects of cnidarian calcification are discussed. The relation of the Cnidaria with Mankind is approached, in accordance with the Editors’ philosophy of bridging the artificial schism between science, arts and Humanities. Cnidarians' encounters with humans result in a broad spectrum of medical emergencies that are reviewed. The final section of the volume is devoted to the role of Hydra and Medusa in mythology and art.
The Case for Marriage
A groundbreaking look at marriage, one of the most basic and universal of all human institutions, which reveals the emotional, physical, economic, and sexual benefits that marriage brings to individuals and society as a whole. The Case for Marriage is a critically important intervention in the national debate about the future of family. Based on the authoritative research of family sociologist Linda J. Waite, journalist Maggie Gallagher, and a number of other scholars, this book’s findings dramatically contradict the anti-marriage myths that have become the common sense of most Americans. Today a broad consensus holds that marriage is a bad deal for women, that divorce is better for childr...
Credința ca filosofie
„Cartea lui Nicolae Turcan, construit pe mai multe genuri de text, de la confesiune la studiu, trecând prin articol, este în întregul ei o invitație la credință și gândire în egală măsură și cu egală forță. Fie că se referă la sine («Argumentul Cioran») sau la alții (de pildă, la Mitropolitul Bartolomeu), la Tradiție sau la Crez – autorul ne acceptă drept companioni pe drumul de la ideal la faptă, de la cum gândește la cum trăiește, de la ce înțelege la ce crede. Este un exercițiu tonifiant, deloc crispat, deschis și ferm în același timp, care dă mărturie convingătoare despre o căutare autentică și o întemeiere fără fisuri. Sunt bucuros că seria Theologia Socialis se îmbogățește nu atât cu un titlu, cât mai ales cu o propunere de «filosofie adevărată»”. (Radu Preda)

Diamonds and War
Based on previously unexamined historical documents found in archives in Belgium, England, Israel, the Netherlands, and the United States, this book is the first in English to tell the story of the formation of one of the world's main strongholds of diamond production and trade in Palestine during the 1930s and 1940s. The history of the diamond-cutting industry, characterized by a long-standing Jewish presence, is discussed as a social history embedded in the international political economy of its times; the genesis of the industry in Palestine is placed on a broad continuum within the geographic and economic dislocations of Dutch, Belgian, and German diamond-cutting centers. In providing a micro-historical and interdisciplinary perspective, the story of the diamond industry in Mandate Palestine proposes a more nuanced picture of the uncritical approach to the strict boundaries of ethnic-based occupational communities.
