Among the most prominent hallmarks of the late Prof. Hanan Eshel (1958–2010) were his generosity, passion, and integrative approach. The eighteen essays in this volume were selected by Prof. Eshel shortly before his untimely death, to be printed as a collection aimed at contextualizing the textual finds of the Dead Sea Scrolls within their archaeological settings and within the contours of contemporary scholarship.The Qumran texts that stand at the center of these articles are correlated with archaeological and geographic information and with a variety of textual sources including epigraphic evidence and, especially, the Hebrew Bible, Josephus, and rabbinic texts. The essays are organized according to the provenance of the discovered material, with sections devoted to the Damascus Documentand the scrolls from Caves 1, 3, 4, and 11, as well as a final more general chapter.Half of the essays have been previously published in English, while the other half have been translated from Hebrew here for the first time. The book includes essays that have been co-authored with Esther Eshel, Shlomit Kendi-Harel, Zeev Safrai, and John Strugnell.

This humorous collection of illustrations depicts the trout angler's anguish and anticipation in pursuit of the 'gentle art'. The author and illustrator Paul Dady believes that 'Fishing doesn't actually clear the mind. It does, however, given the opportunity, tend to clutter it with altogether more agreeable stuff ... usually.' From knots to lucky underwear and appalling hauling to woeful weather, many 'trouters' will identify with the scenarios and comments featured in this quirky portrayal. Contrasting cartoon styles convey the different moods of each scene and are guaranteed to catch the reader's attention.

<p>In his thriller stories Edgar Allan Poe tries to show psychic side of the crime from the inside. He is not interested in social roots of the crime, but in unmotivated actions that go beyond normal behavior of a person in the society. Nevertheless, in a series of stories while describing the acts committed by characters under influence of “contradiction demon” or “perversion demon”, Poe puts in rational reasons. For example, the character from the story The Black Cat understands that his brain is poisoned with alcohol, and as a result his mental health and temper were injured. But this reasoning is too plain and trivial for the thriller. Narrating on behalf of the criminal, Poe brings actions under the control of contradiction demon. Combination of plans puts volume to the stories the events are at the same time rational and not, motivated and incredibly paradoxical.</p> <p>This collection includes the works of the famous Edgar Allan Poe: </p> <p>The Black Cat,</p> <p>The Gold-Bug,</p> <p>The Pit and the Pendulum,</p> <p>The Tell-Tale Heart,</p> <p>The Fall of the House of Usher,</p> <p>The Masque of the Red Death,</p> <p>The Cask of Amontillado,</p> <p>The Murders in the Rue Morgue,</p> <p>The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar,</p> <p>Hop-Frog.</p>

Painting Over the Cracks is novelist Sophie Buchaillard's poetry debut. Inspired by her life and a series of workshops she ran with survivors of abuse, this collection explores the relationship between unspoken shame and fraying family ties, and the healing power of expression, friendship, and community in overcoming trauma. Split into four chronological sections, the collection travels from the anxieties of a single mother to memories of buried traumas that lurk in corners of the mind, colouring every interaction to articulating the unspoken, strong from new friendships and rediscovered communities.

<p>This book brings together the latest research in education in relation to science and religion. Leading international scholars and practitioners provide vital insights into the underlying debates and present a range of practical approaches for teaching. Key themes include the origin of the universe, the theory of evolution, the nature of the human person, the nature of science and Artificial Intelligence. These are explored in a range of international contexts. The book provides a valuable resource for teachers, students and researchers in the fields of education, science, religious education and the growing specialist field of science and religion.</p> <p><i>Science and Religion in Education</i> is a compelling read for current and future generations of academic researchers and teachers who wish to explore the fascinating intersect between science education and religious studies. The research findings and insights presented by these international scholars offer new dimensions on contemporary practice. </p> <p>- Vaille Dawson, Professor of Science Education, University of Western Australia</p> <p><i>Science and Religion in Education</i> offers a fascinating and diverse collection of chapters surveying the current state of thinking about how science and religion can be understood in education. The book offers a wealth of thought-provoking material for anyone interested in the natures of science and religion, their relationship(s), or their representation within the curriculum. </p> <p>- Professor Keith Taber, University of Cambridge</p> <p>Science education and religious education are uncomfortable bedfellows. This book, written in part as a response to the – perhaps too clear – accounts of Ian Barbour, provides suitably nuanced pictures of how science and religion are dealt with in schools. Whatever the views of specialists, young people ‘receive’ an education in both science and religion: hearing their voices is refreshing in such a serious academic account. </p> <p>- Julian Stern, Professor of Education and Religion, York St John University</p>Humans have long endeavored to make sense of the world often using science and religion. Yet, these two great traditions are frequently seen as incompatible. This useful volume features thoughtful contributions from experts whose work straddles the divide and provides educators with arguments, engaging strategies and historical perspectives to help build a bridge and allow a fruitful discussion in schools. <p></p> <p>- William F.

<div> This edited volume seeks to combine and highlight the theoretical and practical aspects of teaching by exploring and reflecting on the ways in which Cultural Studies is taught and practiced at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, in the US and internationally. Contributors create a space where connections among Cultural Studies practitioners across generations and locations are formed. Because the alliances built by Cultural Studies practitioners in the U.S. and the global north are deeply shaped by the global south/Third World perspectives, this book extends an invitation to teachers and practitioners in and outside of the US, including those who may offer a transnational perspective on teaching and practicing Cultural Studies. This volume promises to be a trailblazing collection of first-rate essays by leading and emerging figures in the field of Cultural Studies. </div>

<b>Un à un, les acteurs d'une troupe de théâtre disparaissent mystérieusement... Qui sera le prochain ? </b> <br> <br>Pour l’ouverture de cette funeste représentation, ce ne sont pas trois mais quatre coups que l’Ankou frappe du manche de sa faux, chaque impact faisant référence au décès de l’un des membres de l’atelier de théâtre amateur brestois du Patronage Laïque du <br>Pilier Rouge ! Mais ces morts, survenues à seulement quelques jours d’écart, sont-elles aussi naturelles qu’elles le paraissent ? <br>Afin de lever le doute, Chantelle revient une fois de plus sur scène pour organiser le casting des acteurs qui l’accompagneront dans l’enquête. Cette troupe de détectives impromptus écrira son propre scénario des drames suivant les inspirations pour le moins intuitives de la sorcerez. <br>Le capitaine Le Gac et le lieutenant Rousseau ont pris leurs billets, mais resteront-ils simples spectateurs de cette pièce policière ? <br> <br> <b>Dans ce neuvième tome, retrouvez la <i>sorcerez</i> Chantalle et suivez-la pas à pas dans une nouvelle enquête plus que mystérieuse. </b> <br> <br>EXTRAIT <br> <br>La partie d’aujourd’hui manque cruellement d’intérêt, l’ex-médecin peine à se placer correctement, il se traîne. Pourtant, son dynamisme du premier set – où il ne s’est incliné que 6 à 4 – ne laissait pas présager une telle baisse de performance… <br>D’abord, Guy ne comprend pas ce qui se passe, étonné de ne pas voir Jean-Charles s’avancer pour frapper la balle. Il s’aperçoit alors que son ami est allongé au sol, les mains serrées sur la poitrine, une grimace de douleur sur le visage, immobile. Affolement <br>! Guy court pour le secourir, voulant sauter par-dessus le filet, mais rate sa prise d’élan, s’accroche le pied dans les larges mailles et s’écroule sur la terre battue. Pas le temps de se plaindre, il se relève et vient s’agenouiller à côté. <br>— Merde, JC ! Joue pas au con ! C’est toi, le toubib, pas moi ! Je suis architecte, je ne soigne que les maisons, pas les humains… Dis-moi ce que je dois faire ! <br>Pas de réponse, Guy ne sait où placer ses mains pour vérifier… <br> <br>À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR <br> <br> <b>Jean-Michel Arnaud</b> est né en 1966 en région parisienne, où il a vécu vingt-huit ans avant de s’installer à Brest. Outre son activité professionnelle d’ingénieur en informatique, il est bassiste dans le groupe My Bones Cooking, qui « joue du rock, mais pas que ». Depuis 2013, il écrit dans la collection Enquêtes & Suspense des romans policiers se déroulant majoritairement dans le nord-ouest du Finistère. Il est également membre du collectif d’auteurs <i>L’Assassin habite dans le 29</i>. <br>
