States of Emergency in Liberal Democracies Lazar Nomi Claire

In an emergency, statesmen concentrate power and suspend citizens' rights. These emergency powers are ubiquitous in the crisis government of liberal democracies, but their nature and justification is poorly understood. Based on a pluralist conception of political ethics and political power, this book shows how we can avoid the dangers and confusions inherent in the norm/exception approach that dominates both historical and contemporary debate. The book shows how liberal values need never - indeed must never - be suspended, even in times of urgency. Only then can accountability remain a live possibility. But at the same time, emergency powers can sometimes be justified with reference to extra-liberal norms that also operate in times of normalcy. By emphasizing the continuity between times of normalcy and emergency, the book illuminates the norms of crisis government, broadening our

A rejtélyes múltú fiatal vándor, Wilson Moon el kellett, hogy hagyja a szülőföldjét, így kénytelen másutt boldogulni. Victoria teljesen véletlenül találkozik Willel az utcán. A köztük lévő ellenállhatatlan vonzalom felforgatja mindkettejük világát, szenvedélyes kapcsolatuk viszont megannyi veszélyt rejt… Amikor bekövetkezik a tragédia, Victoria maga mögött hagyja addigi életét, a környező hegyekbe rejtőzik, ahol a túlélésért küzd, és nem tudja, mit hoz a jövő. Minden erejét össze kell szednie, hogy talpra álljon a veszteségből, majd továbblépjen. Főképp, amikor a Gunnison folyó bekebelezi az otthonát, a gyümölcsöskertet és mindent, ami generációkon át a családjáé volt. Felemelő regény a hatvanas években megsemmisült Iola városának igaz történetéről, egy különös szerelemről, a nehézségekkel való szembenézésről, a bátorságról, a kitartásról, a barátságról és az otthonról, amelyre ott is rálelhet az ember, ahol a legkevésbé várná. Shelley Read megmutatja, mit jelent úgy irányítani az életünket, mintha folyó lenne. Sok mindent összegyűjtve, áramolva, és az akadály ellenére mindig megtalálva az előrevezető utat.

Sensate Focus and the Psyche

Sensate Focus and the Psyche explores in depth both psychoanalytic and psychosexual perspectives of sensate focus, a programme of touching exercises for couples with sexual problems, and in so doing provides an original, integrated model for understanding the conscious and unconscious impact of this tactile intervention on couples in treatment.Susan Pacey reviews the historical relationship between psychoanalysis and sex therapy and the splitting of mind, body and relationship since Freud. She illustrates how the tactile intervention can help repair the early life impingements on partners' individual development that mobilise anxieties about sexuality and shame in adulthood. Case studies illustrate how sensate focus can help conceptualise unconscious embodied memories, repair shame, encourage Winnicottian play, work through transitional phenomena and develop

My Everyday Lagos Kitchen - Yewande Komolafe

Autor : Yewande Komolafe, Popis : An acclaimed chef and food writer celebrates the many cuisines found in Lagos, Nigeria's biggest city, with 75 recipes that mirror her own powerful journey of self-discovery. The city of Lagos, Nigeria, is a key part of a larger conversation about West African cuisine and its influences throughout the world. This cookbook consists of 75 recipes that are all served in recipe developer and food stylist Yewande Komolafe's fast-paced, ever-changing home city of Lagos. These recipes reflect the regional cooking of the country and reveal two complementary qualities of Nigerian cuisine-its singularity and accessibility. These are recipes that are considered national dishes, classics-ones that can be cooked anywhere. Along the way, through informative essays that place ingredients in historical context, Yewande explains how in a country where dozens of ethnic groups interact, a cuisine has developed that transcends tribal boundaries. Yewande's personal narrative is woven throughout the book and cautions against being burdened by notions of authenticity. These recipes, including classics like Jollof Rice, Puff Puff, and Groundnut Stew, are meant to be a starting point for the home cook, allowing them to trust the ingredients and achieve the variety of textures and flavors Nigerian food is known for. Beautiful photographs of the city and its people invite readers into the energy and pulse of Lagos, while the food photography entices them to make each and every dish in the book. This stunning cookbook is Yewande Komolafe's in-depth exploration of a cuisine that reveals the nuances of regions and peoples, diaspora and return-but also tells her own story of gathering the scattered pieces of herself through understanding her home country and food.Druh sortimentu : Kniha, Název : My Everyday Lagos Kitchen, Jazyk : Angličtina, Počet strán : 272

Regenerative Urban Design and Ecosystem Biomimicry Pedersen Zari Maibritt

It is clear that the climate is changing and ecosystems are becoming severely degraded. Humans must mitigate the causes of, and adapt to, climate change and the loss of biodiversity, as the impacts of these changes become more apparent and demand urgent responses. These pressures, combined with rapid global urbanisation and population growth mean that new ways of designing, retrofitting and living in cities are critically needed. Incorporating an understanding of how the living world works and what ecosystems do into architectural and urban design is a step towards the creation and evolution of cities that are radically more sustainable and potentially regenerative. Can cities produce their own food, energy, and water? Can they be designed to regulate climate, provide habitat, cycle nutrients, and purify water, air and soil?This book examines and defines the field of

Lotharingia

Autor : Simon Winder, Popis :Roku 843 se ve Verdunu sešli tři vnukové mocného císaře Karla Velikého. Po letech bouřlivých sporů o to, který z nich má zdědit rodové državy, se nakonec rozhodli říši rozdělit a jít každý svou vlastní cestou. V okamžiku dalekosáhlého významu získal jeden z vnuků území, z něhož se měla zrodit Francie, druhý budoucí Německo a třetí Lotharingii: zemi, jež původně druhé dvě od sebe oddělovala. Dynamika vztahů mezi těmito třemi celky předurčila mnohé z budoucích osudů Evropy.V této okouzlující, vtipné a zajímavé knize s napětím sledujeme, jak se řada ctižádostivých osobností ze západu i východu neúspěšně pokoušela podmanit si obyvatelstvo Lotharingie, z něhož se postupem doby stali Nizozemci, Němci, Belgičané, Francouzi, Lucemburčané a Švýcaři. V průběhu staletí vzešli z Lotharingie mnozí z největších evropských umělců, vynálezců či myslitelů, zároveň však tato země přiměla četné rádoby dobyvatele ronit slzy vzteku a frustrace. Spolu s Germanií a Danubií, v nichž Simon Winder fascinujícím způsobem předkládá svůj osobní pohled na evropské dějiny, je Lotharingia dalším nádherným a poutavým příběhem.Druh sortimentu : Kniha, Název : Lotharingia, Jazyk : Čeština, Počet strán : 568

Nepatrná ztráta osamělosti - Eli Beneš

Hrdinou a vypravěčem románu Nepatrná ztráta osamělosti je židovský chlapec, který přežije vyhlazovací tábor i pochod smrti a vrací se do rodné Prahy na pokraji svých duševních a fyzických sil. Je však květen 1945, lidé radostně oslavují konec války a do této optimismem naplněné doby se návrat stínů z minulosti nehodí. Hledání ztracené rodiny, přátel i lásky zavede hrdinu na nečekaně obtížnou cestu, na které se musí vyrovnávat se svými traumaty, úzkostmi i nedůvěrou k okolnímu světu. A zjišťuje, že válka zanechala nezhojitelné jizvy nejen v něm – poválečný svět se nenávratně mění a nic z toho, co si v zajetí vysnil, nebude snadné a zcela podle jeho představ… Sugestivní a napínavé vyprávění z temného období dějin není v tomto románu ztracených iluzí jen dalším příběhem o holokaustu, ale zpracovává následnou dobu a události, o kterých toho nebylo napsáno příliš mnoho. Kniha je zároveň historicky věrným dokumentem, napsaným podle skutečnosti.
