Gregory Mobley plunges beneath the Bible's surface to reveal its "backstories" -- the tales that constitute the backbone of the people Israel and of the body of Christ. Viewing the Bible as "essentially, relentlessly story," Mobley provides an easy-to-understand sevenpart thematic overview of the Bible that guides readers through the drama of the Hebrew Bible, highlighting the interconnectedness of biblical stories. Each story is a variation on a single theme -- the dynamic interplay between order and chaos. Intriguing Ancient Near Eastern myths, personal anecdotes, and popular cultural references from movies, musical theater, and writers ranging from Dr. Seuss to William Blake pepper the book throughout. Arresting chapter and section titles such as "It's Love That Makes the World Go 'Round" and "Lord Bezek's Big Toes" capture the imagination, and Mobley's own lyrical, energetic writing style -- exercised on vibrant biblical material -- propels the reader forward. Readers will find his enthusiasm contagious!

Se rappresentiamo con un grafico la stabilità di un paese in funzione della sua apertura economica e politica verso il resto del mondo, otteniamo una curva a forma di J: all'aumento dell'apertura il paese diventa inizialmente più instabile. Bremmer distilla in modo brillante i decenni di storia appena trascorsi per analizzare paesi chiave posti in punti diversi della curva J: Iran, Iraq, Turchia, Russia, India, Cina, Corea del Nord, Arabia Saudita, Sudafrica, Israele, Cuba, per concludere che l'isolamento politico e le sanzioni economiche spesso provocano l'effetto opposto a quello che si intende perseguire e che la globalizzazione commerciale è il miglior modo per allentare la presa che i regimi autoritari hanno sulle rispettive società.
Seventeen Songs for Children is a collection of original lyrics written by Theresa Sull. Some can be sung to familiar melodies like Row, Row, Row Your Boat, but others need new tunes parents or other teachers create.
