Curiosity is the instinct that prompts us to act, and a book about curiosity should tell us how to live. This is the first to do so, with its twelve rules for life. While a fatal sin in Eden, curiosity is a necessary virtue in our world. It asks us to search for new experiences, to create, to invent. It tells us to look inward, to be curious about the needs of other people and about our own motives. It tells us not to be a stick in the mud or a bore. In particular, curiosity asks us to examine the most fundamental questions of our existence. When you put all this together, curiosity tells you how to live a life in full. While there's a natural desire to explore, there's also a natural desire to stay home. We have a dark side that wants to hide from the world. We've also been made incurious by the rise of bitter partisanships and narrow ideologies that have sent things and people we should care about to our mental trash folders. That's why this book is needed today. ...

"Vergesst Kluivert, Maldini und selbst Beckham", schrieb die englische Zeitung The Sun und erklärte Schiedsrichter Pierluigi Collina zum Star der Fußball-Europameisterschaft 2000. Sein Ruf ist legendär. Manndecker respektieren ihn, und Frauen geraten in Verzückung, wenn er Rot zeigt. Schiedsrichter werden meist als notwendiges Übel betrachtet. Sie werden verachtet, beschimpft und taugen immer zum Sündenbock, wenn eine Mannschaft es wieder einmal versäumt hat, das gegnerische Tor zu treffen. Der italienische Schiedsrichter Pierluigi Collina hat es in den letzten Jahren geschafft, dieses Image grundsätzlich in Frage zu stellen. Seit er 1995 auf die Liste der internationalen Schiedsrichter rückte, gilt er als unumstrittener Star seiner Gilde, dessen Souveränität und Konsequenz auch Fußball-Laien begeistert. Fünfmal bereits wurde Collina zum Welt-Schiedsrichter des Jahres gewählt. Sein Buch "Meine Regeln des Spiels" erzählt von seinen Anfängen als 17-Jähriger und natürl...

On the early morning of March 16, 1968, American soldiers from three platoons of Charlie Company (1st Battalion, 20th Infantry Regiment, 11th Brigade, 23rd Infantry Division), entered a group of hamlets located in the Son Tinh district of South Vietnam, located near the Demilitarized Zone and known as "Pinkville" because of the high level of Vietcong infiltration. The soldiers, many still teenagers who had been in the country for three months, were on a "search and destroy" mission. The Tet Offensive had occurred only weeks earlier and in the same area and had made them jittery; so had mounting losses from booby traps and a seemingly invisible enemy. Three hours after the GIs entered the hamlets, more than five hundred unarmed villagers lay dead, killed in cold blood. The atrocity took its name from one of the hamlets, known by the Americans as My Lai 4. Military authorities attempted to suppress the news of My Lai, until some who had been there, in particular a h...

Despite the widespread belief that natural is better when it comes to sex, pregnancy, and parenting, most of us have no idea what natural" really means the origins of our reproductive lives remain a mystery. Why are a quarter of a billion sperm cells needed to fertilize one egg? Are women really fertile for only a few days each month? How long should babies be breast-fed?In How We Do It , primatologist Robert Martin draws on forty years of research to locate the roots of everything from our sex cells to the way we care for newborns. He examines the procreative history of humans as well as that of our primate kin to reveal what's really natural when it comes to making and raising babies, and distinguish which behaviours we ought to continue,and which we should not. Although it's not realistic to raise our children like our ancestors did, Martin's investigation reveals surprising consequences of,and suggests ways to improve upon,the way we do things now. For instance, ...

Years ago my wife and I were part of a congregation that fell into the depths of spiritual deception and became cultic. The events of those days led to the ruin of many lives. Most shocking was the number of students from evangelical backgrounds who were so easily deceived. How did this happen? What were the spiritual principles involved that led to such a great tragedy? It is my conviction that the account of this congregation and the review of the principles involved in their deception will prevent the same thing from occurring elsewhere. May those who read this learn to guard themselves against the Dynamics of Spiritual Deception. Product details Format Paperback | 82 pages ...
