Osadzona w kulturze Japonii uniwersalna historia dojrzewania młodej kobiety.
"Nigdy nie strzelaj przeciwko nikomu; nigdy nie strzelaj, żeby kogoś uwieść; nigdy nie strzelaj, żeby być od kogoś lepszą; nigdy nie strzelaj, żeby cokolwiek sobie udowodnić; strzelanie z łuku to stan, którym można się dzielić.

Po przeczytaniu historii Haru inaczej przeczytasz własne...

HIV/AIDS AND FISHING COMMUNITIES IN UGANDA. Fishing Communities all over the world are among the Most At Risk Populations and very susceptible to HIV/AIDS. Unfortunately their human rights in the fight against HIV/AIDS have not been adequately addressed and this is worsened by the nature of the dangerous work they do. The book covers the right to health for fishing communities as most at risk populations and to what extent the law has addressed their plight in the struggle against HIV/AIDS.

This book deals with issues of cross-cultural communications that stem from the lack of shared meaning that different cultural groups embrace. Shared meaning is built on mutual understanding that emerges when people at every level of the community can speak about what really concerns them. In the FotoDialogo Method, Hispanic women use pictures and storytelling to express their concerns about the disabling effects of social, cultural and economic marginalization associated with the low-income minority population in the USA. The FotoDialogo Method is an approach for engaging community-based...

One man. An extraordinary choice.

In 1511 a Spanish ship en route from the island of Hispaniola sank off the coast of Yucatan near the town of Tulum. The survivors were captured by the Maya; these were the first white men ever to set foot on the mainland of the American continent, and the first white men the Maya had ever seen.

Among the castaways was Gonzalo Guerrero, a sailor from Palos. After he was captured, he lived among the Maya as a slave for three years. He then escaped from his master and sought the protection of Lord Nachancan, ruler of Chetumal in Belize,...

"Would you say you were loved by the right people at the right time in the right way and for the right reasons?"

Michael Holmes and Nora Savins stepped into the ornate atrium of the Department of Vital Privileges and looked up at the life-size marble statue of the Founding Father, a smiling young man who held in his hand an ancient movie script rolled into a scroll.

"Keanu Reeves," Michael said reverentially, "with his quote from Parenthood: You need a license to drive, you need a license to fish, you need a license to own a dog, but they will let any moron be a...

Quante volte, si chiese, aveva tessuto assieme stoffa che la sua spada aveva poi spaccato a metaassieme alla carne che essa ricopriva?

Als ich vor etwa funfzehn Jahren das Studium der Soziologie aufnahm, konnte ich mit Theorien uberhaupt nichts anfangen, und schon gar nicht mit klassi schen. Als begeisterte Empirikerin interessierte mich nur die soziale Realitat, "so wie sie ist." Wieso hatte ich also meine Zeit damit verschwenden sollen, abstrakte (und daher unnotige) Gedankenkomplexe zu verstehen? Nur durch Zufall stiess ich eines Tages auf einige Schriften von Georg Simmel, dessen ausgefallene Themenauswahl und blumige Sprache eine beson dere Faszination auf mich ausubten. So begann ich - mehr aus Spass, denn aus...

E a partir dessas consideracoes que nos propomos a pensar a relacao do sujeito psicotico com o objeto droga. Partimos da hipotese de que o uso de droga na psicose nao pode ser pensado pelo mesmo prisma do uso de droga na neurose. Enquanto os neuroticos sao considerados os...
