That night, only two men returned home, barely alive and unable to speak of what had happened out at sea.

Between the birth of Dante in 1265 and the death of Galileo in 1642, something happened that transformed the entire culture of Western civilization. Painting, sculpture, and architecture would all visibly change in such a striking fashion that there could be no going back on what had taken place. Likewise, the thought and self-conception of humanity would take on a completely new aspect. Sciences would be born - or emerge in an entirely new guise.

O lugar da Paola Carosella sempre foi a cozinha – até que a fama, a pressão do julgamento constante e a polarização política no país que ela escolheu para viver tiraram até isso dela. Na tentativa de achar um caminho de volta, a renomada chef de cozinha e apresentadora achou as respostas que ela procurava nos livros de uma ensaísta norte-americana: M.F.K. Fisher.

Iraq, 2003: in the post-war looting of the treasures from Baghdad's antiquities museum, a legendary Phoenicean statue is stolen . . .Known as the Navigator, the statue points back to the days of King Solomon and is the vital clue to a secret of unimaginable power.

I order another bourbon, neat. This is the drink that will flip the switch. I don’t even know how I got here, to this place, to this point. Something is happening to me lately. I’m drinking too much. My sheets are soaking wet when I wake up from nightmares of decaying corpses. I order another drink and swig it, trying to forget about the latest case I can’t shake. Crime solving for me is more complex than the challenge of the hunt, or the process of piecing together a scientific puzzle. The thought of good people suffering drives me to the point of obsession.

Spinoza's brilliant metaphysical system was derived neither from reality nor experience. Starting from basic assumptions, with a series of geometric proofs he built a universe which was also God, one and the same thing, the classic example of pantheism. Although his system seems an oddity today, Spinoza's conclusions are deeply in accord with modern thought, from science (the holistic ethics of today's ecologists) to politics (the idea that the state exists to protect the individual).

When Kitty Karr Tate, a White icon of the silver screen, dies and bequeaths her multimillion-dollar estate to the St. John sisters, three young, wealthy Black women, it prompts questions. Lots of questions. A celebrity in her own right, Elise St. John would rather focus on sorting out Kitty’s affairs than deal with the press. But what she discovers in one of Kitty’s journals rocks her world harder than any other brewing scandal could—and between a cheating fiancé and the fallout from a controversial social media post, there are plenty.

Christians know that daily Scripture reading is an essential spiritual discipline. But sometimes opening the Bible day in and day out can feel like a burden rather than the joy and gift that it is. Spending even a few minutes reflecting on the truths found within God's word can strengthen your faith, help you resist sin, and inspire you to live for the eternal, unshakable kingdom of God. In the Everyday Gospel devotional, Paul David Tripp provides a roadmap for listeners who want to spend a full year in God's word.

Slade Steadman's lone opus, published twenty years ago, was Trespassing, a cult classic about his travels through dozens of countries without benefit of passport. With his soon-to-be-ex-girlfriend Ava in tow, Steadman sets out for Ecuador’s jungle in search of a rare hallucinogenic drug and the cure for his writer’s block. Amid a gang of thrill-seeking tourists, he finds his drug and his inspiration but is beset with an unnerving side effect—periodic blindness.

Par une froide nuit d'hiver, alors que toute la ville était plongée dans la torpeur, Monsieur Descartes doutait : Se pourrait-il que trois et deux ne fassent pas cinq ? Que le monde, finalement, soit un rêve ? Qu'une sorte de Malin Génie me trompe en toutes choses ?

Que puis-je connaître ? Que dois-je faire ? Que m'est-il permis d'espérer ? À Königsberg, le sévère professeur Kant répondit à ces questions, et à quelques autres, au cours d'une journée si folle qu'il devait en manquer sa promenade...

Socrate va par les rues d'Athènes, interpellant ceux qu'il trouve sur son chemin : Connais-toi toi- même ! Ne te soucie pas des richesses, cherche la vérité et deviens philosophe ! Ce n'est pas du goût des Athéniens. Au terme d'un procès, Socrate est condamné à boire la ciguë. Va-t-il s'enfuir ? Un philosophe doit-il craindre la mort ? Par une froide nuit d'hiver, alors que toute la ville était plongée dans la torpeur, Monsieur Descartes doutait : Se pourrait-il que trois et deux ne fassent pas cinq ? Que le monde, finalement, soit un rêve ?

Il est de bon ton à noter époque d’affirmer qu’il ne faut vivre que de ses passions. Ecrivons des poèmes, parcourons le monde en voilier, adonnons-nous à la peinture... et l’argent suivra.

En résultent l’insatisfaction, la fatigue et la déprime. La Fish ! philosophie vous enseigne comment rompre le cercle infernal métro-boulot-dodo, au fil d’une fable destinée à réveiller l’énergie, la créativité et l’enthousiasme qui sommeillent en vous.

Children have been wondering about the Bible for centuries. What do all these long-ago stories have to do with each other—and with me? This whimsical and lyrical book, inspired by the work and ideas of the late Rachel Held Evans and completed by her good friend Matthew Paul Turner, explains that the Bible is a big library of amazing stories about God, the world, and Jesus. When you hear those stories, you will understand the world differently—and you can make the world different too.

Everyone, at some point, has experienced something they can't explain. Perhaps they've felt a presence or heard voices when alone, or maybe they've seen something in the woods that, in their mind, shouldn't exist. Imagine hiking along a favorite trail with your labrador when suddenly, an eight-foot-tall creature covered in dark hair steps onto the path before you. Your dog, usually fearless, cowers behind you, trembling. The creature notices you, turns, glowers, and charges. You have no way to defend yourself. You close your eyes and pray, fully aware that you'll be torn to shreds in an ...
