Catherine of Siena

Autor: Thomas Mcdermott

Número de Páginas: 372

Although Catherine of Siena was proclaimed a Doctor of the Church in 1970, relatively little attention has been given to her mystical thought, particularly in the English-speaking world. The Dialogue, the famous compendium of her mature thought, is difficult to understand owing to its interruptions, repetitions, overlapping arguments, imagery and undefined terms. Thomas McDermott breaks new ground in his systematic presentation of Catherine¿s teachings. Drawing on the Dialogue and also on Catherine¿s 381 letters and prayers, he explains clearly her principal teachings in relation to spiritual development, and identifies Catherine¿s possible sources as well as her areas of originality. By examining Catherine¿s life and mystical experiences, McDermott shows how she herself grew spiritually and how her growth corresponds to her later teaching on the ¿three stairs¿ on the ¿bridge of Christ crucified.¿ Finally, the author puts forward what he regards as the fundamental message of Catherine¿s life and teaching. Students of mysticism and spirituality will find this book a trustworthy guide through the incredibly rich mysticism of one of the 14th century¿s most amazing women.

Lo que el fútbol se llevó

Autor: Gregorio Martín Quetglás

Número de Páginas: 232

En pleno verano del 2003, algunos medios de comunicación empezaron a destapar la situación económica del fútbol español. El sector, con casi el 1% del PIB, mostraba su crisis: un déficit de más de 2.600 millones de euros, unas reclamaciones de Hacienda a los clubes de casi 300 millones de euros, sin contar las dirigidas a algunos futbolistas que engrosan la lista de imputados por delito fiscal, al tiempo que otros denuncian por impago a sus clubes. Este es un relato, alejado del ritmo que impone la competición, de las extrañas y tormentosas relaciones entre Hacienda y el fútbol, un deporte y un espectáculo, pero cuya crisis no puede resolverse a costa del dinero de todos los ciudadanos.

Menotti. El primero

Autor: Ezequiel Fernández Moores

Número de Páginas: 277

La historia y las ideas del director técnico que refundó la selección y logró la primera copa del mundo para la Argentina. Del Huracán del 73 al Barcelona de Guardiola, de Boca y River hasta los clubes mexicanos donde terminó su carrera, de la grieta menottismo versus bilardismo hasta el papel del Flaco en la Scaloneta. "Primero voy a ser campeón con Huracán y después voy a ganar el Mundial". César Luis Menotti, el Flaco, tenía 32 años cuando, a comienzos de los 70, en una cena con amigos, anunció su plan para "salvar" el fútbol argentino. Romper el camino "europeo" de juego más físico y recuperar el de toque y pausa, más sudamericano. La Nuestra. Una meta que estuvo por encima, incluso, de las contradicciones que podría haberle generado a un hombre de izquierda ganar la copa del 78 bajo una dictadura que buscó lavarse la cara con el festejo popular. ¿Las tuvo? Este libro, una biografía vital y futbolera, intenta responder esa y otras preguntas sobre Menotti. El entrenador politizado y el del "achique" maldito. El que, después de llegar tan rápido a la cima, jamás volvió a salir campeón, pero mantuvo hasta el final su discurso de fútbol bello y eficaz....

World Cup! History, Politics, and Art of the Beautiful Game

Autor: Daniel Noemi Voionmaa

Número de Páginas: 250

This collection of essays provides a multidimensional, interdisciplinary, creative, and colorful view on the meanings and possibilities of thinking football—'the beautiful game'—and its paramount event: the World Cup. It is intended to appeal to academics as well as to everyday experts, those for whom football is more than a sport. But it also wants to be a source that stirs the interest of those who see football just as a curious experience; those who may have heard, in passing, that a new World Cup will be played in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico in 2026. This book has, like a football team, eleven chapters. The approaches, styles, and perspectives differ considerably: From how football is a center piece in politics to its representations in poetry, from gender issues to nationalism, from fictitious wars to real ones provoked by a football match, and from exile to the neo-liberalization of the sport, the authors provide us a multicolor and global fresco of football and the World Cup. Likewise, the selection provides a global perspective on football and the World Cup: views from powerhouses such as England or Argentina, as well as from countries with a very incipient football...

At age fifty-one, James Roberts is nearing the end of his ten-year prison sentence. As he sits alone in his stripped-down cell in a federal prison camp, James looks back on the fateful events leading up to his incarceration, and the gross miscarriage of justice perpetrated by the justice system. Ten years prior, James Roberts is the hardworking owner of a limousine rental company. When he meets a mysterious businessman who claims to know of a great deal on vintage luxury cars, James jumps at the opportunity. However, this businessman, Joe, begins to act more erratically, dragging James on long trips just to cancel last minute, eventually burning through thousands of James’s funds. Desperate to recoup some of his money, James agrees to buy a kilo of cocaine for him—hoping to finally catch Joe committing a crime.

The Ruins Lesson

Número de Páginas: 401

"In 'The Ruins Lesson,' the National Book Critics Circle Award-winning poet-critic Susan Stewart explores the West's fascination with ruins in literature, visual art, and architecture, covering a vast chronological and geographical range from the ancient Egyptians to T. S. Eliot. In the multiplication of images of ruins, artists, and writers she surveys, Stewart shows how these thinkers struggled to recover lessons out of the fragility or our cultural remains. She tries to understand the appeal in the West of ruins and ruination, particularly Roman ruins, in the work and thought of Goethe, Piranesi, Blake, and Wordsworth, whom she returns to throughout the book. Her sweeping, deeply felt study encompasses the founding legends of broken covenants and original sin; Christian transformations of the classical past; the myths and rituals of human fertility; images of ruins in Renaissance allegory, eighteenth-century melancholy, and nineteenth-century cataloguing; and new gardens that eventually emerged from ancient sites of disaster"--

Advances in Microbial Toxin Research and Its Biotechnological Exploitation

Autor: Rajeev K. Upadhyay

Número de Páginas: 290

Microbial toxins are secondary metabolites that accumulate in the organism and, to a large extent, are metabolically inactive towards the organism that produces them. The discovery of penicillin, a secondary metabolite of Penicillium notatum West (= P. chrysogenum Thom), in 1929 marked a milestone in the development of antibiotics (microbial toxins). In the intensive studies that followed this discovery, scientists chemically characterized several new molecules (toxins) from secondary metabolites of microbes, some having a definite function in causing pathogenesis in plants. Toxins are also known to playa significant role in inciting animal (human) and insect diseases and as plant growth regulators. Many common toxins have also been isolated from different microbes exhibiting a wide spectrum of biological activity. Toxins are broadly divisible into several characteristic groupings - polyketides, oxygen heterocyclic compounds, pyrons, terpenoidS, amino acids - diketopiperazines, polypeptides etc. Recent research has indicated that these toxins play an important role in plant pathogenesis, disease epidemics, plant breeding, biological control of plant pathogens and insect pests,...

This volume mainly reports on new and recent advancements on different aspects of Pseudomonas syringae, a plant pathogenic bacterial species that include a high number of pathogens of important crops, which is an interesting model organism in plant pathology. In addition some related fluorescent Pseudomonas spp., responsible of new and emerging diseases, as well as some pathogens previously included in the above genus and now classified in the genera Ralstonia, Acidovorax are also considered. The tremendous recent advancements on: the ecology and epidemiology and, in particular, the adaptation of P. syringae to stresses and adverse environmental conditions; the function and regulation of genes involved in the production of phytotoxins and on their mechanism of action in the interaction with the host cells; the structure, function and regulation of type three secretion system (TTSS) and the transport of the effectors proteins in the host cells; the possibility to control diseases through the induction of the systemic acquired resistance (SAR); the development of molecular techniques for the highly specific and sensible identification and detection of pathogens; the determination of ...
