"There are about 3500 words in the Bible that most of us can't understand because their meaning is not translated into English. These are biblical names. Yet 2 Timothy 3:16 says that "all Scripture" or "every Scripture" is given by inspiration and is profitable. Therefore, we can gain profitable spiritual truth and instruction from these names, although the reason for some names is not immediately obvious. Some are much clearer, such as Timothy, meaning "honoring God." He certainly honored God from his youth, up. This scholarly dictionary by James Beaumont Jackson was first published in 1909 after eleven years of hard work."-Introduction. From Aaron to Zuriel, this simple yet valuable resource will inform the study of the bible.
Das Buch der Stunde! Jacinda Ardern - Ex-Premierministerin von Neuseeland: Eine Ikone des Female Empowerment erzählt von ihrem Weg an die Macht. Ein Buch für alle, die nach einer anderen Art des politischen und gesellschaftlichen Miteinanders suchen.Sie revolutionierte unsere Vorstellung davon, was eine Politikerin ausmacht. Sie gilt als Hoffnungsträgerin, Mutmacherin, Verfechterin von Empathie und Gerechtigkeit: Jacinda Ardern, ehemalige Premierministerin von Neuseeland. Bereits mit 37 Jahren schrieb sie Geschichte, als sie 2017 die jüngste weibliche Regierungschefin der Welt wurde und als zweite Frau überhaupt während ihrer Amtszeit ein Kind zur Welt brachte. Heute ist sie eine weltweite Ikone. Erstmals erzählt sie in diesem sehr persönlichen Memoir von ihrem außergewöhnlichen Aufstieg. Und stellt dabei die entscheidenden Fragen der Zukunft: Welche Art von politischer Führung wollen wir? Schließen sich Mitgefühl und Stärke tatsächlich aus?Jacinda Ardern wuchs in einfachen Verhältnissen als Tochter eines Polizeibeamten in einer neuseeländischen Kleinstadt auf. Eine von Selbstzweifeln geplagte junge Frau, die über sich hinauswuchs und als Premierministerin ihre außergewöhnliche Führungsstärke unter Beweis stellte. Ihre empathische und zugleich energische Reaktion auf den Terroranschlag in Christchurch im Jahr 2019 fand weltweit Anerkennung. Jacinda Ardern lenkte ihr Land durch nie dagewesene Herausforderungen - einen Vulkanausbruch, eine nationale Krise in der Landwirtschaft und eine globale Pandemie - und verwirklichte gleichzeitig eine visionäre neue Politik zur Bekämpfung des Klimawandels, zur Verringerung der Kinderarmut und zur Sicherung internationaler Handelsabkommen. All dies, während sie zum ersten Mal Mutter wurde und mit größter Selbstverständlichkeit Mutterschaft und öffentliches Amt vereinte.Mit ihren ganz persönlichen Erfahrungen und Erkenntnissen ermutigt sie alle, die über sich hinauswachsen und mit Überzeugung, Mitgefühl und Mut vorangehen wollen. »A Different Kind of Power« ist mehr als ein politisches Memoir - es vermittelt ein Gefühl dafür, was es wirklich bedeutet, zu führen, und stellt die Frage: Was, wenn ich zu mehr fähig bin, als ich mir jemals habe vorstellen können?Ausstattung: 8-seitiger Bildteil, 4-farbig
This book provides a concise yet comprehensive guide to Wikipedia for researchers and students of linguistics, discourse and communication studies, redressing the gap in research on Wikipedia in these fields and encouraging scholars to explore Wikipedia further as a platform and a medium. Drawing on Herring's situational and medium factors, as well as related developments in (critical) discourse studies, the author studies the online encyclopaedia both theoretically and empirically, examining its origins, production and consumption before turning to a discussion of its societal significance and function(s). This book will be of interest to Wikipedia scholars from a range of disciplines, as well as those with a broader interest in linguistics, discourse studies and the digital humanities.

What would happen if a doctor implanted the pituitary gland and testicles of a man into the body of a stray dog? In Mikhail Bulgakov's topsy-turvy world, the dog starts to walk on two legs, drink, smoke, thieve, chase women and recite every swear word in Russian. The perfect candidate for a government official, in other words. This rude, riotous send-up of the Soviet Union, banned immediately on publication, is satire red in tooth and claw.

"You have never loved me. You have only thought it pleasant to be in love with me." --- Henrik Ibsen, A Doll's House A Doll's House is a three-act play in prose by Henrik Ibsen. It premiered at the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen, Denmark, on 2
Four of Ibsen's most important plays in superb modern translations, part of the new Penguin Ibsen series. With her assertion that she is 'first and foremost a human being', Nora Helmer sent shockwaves throughout Europe when she appeared in Ibsen's greatest and most famous play, A Doll's House. Depicting one woman's struggle to be treated as a rational human being, and not merely a wife, mother or fragile doll, the play changed the course of theatrical history and sparked debates worldwide about the roles of men and women in society. Ibsen's follow-up Ghosts was no less radical, with its unrelenting investigation into religious hypocrisy, family secrets and sexual double-dealing. These two masterpieces are accompanied here by The Pillars of Society and An Enemy of the People, both set in Norwegian coastal towns and exploring the tensions and dark compromises at the heart of society. The new Penguin series of Ibsen's major plays offer the best available editions in English, under the general editorship of Tore Rem. All the plays have been freshly translated by the best modern translators and are based on the recently published, definitive Norwegian edition of Ibsen's works.They all include new introductions by leading scholars and additional editorial apparatus by Tore Rem Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) is often called 'the Father of Modern Drama'. He was born in the small Norwegian town of Skien and started writing plays from an early age. In 1864 he left Norway for a 21-year long voluntary exile in Italy and Germany. After successes with the verse dramas Brand and Peer Gynt, he turned to prose, writing his great 12-play cycle of society dramas between 1877 and 1899. This included The Pillars of Society, A Doll's House, Ghosts, An Enemy of the People, The Wild Duck, Rosmersholm, The Lady from the Sea, Hedda Gabler, The Master Builder, Little Eyolf, John Gabriel Borkman, and, finally, When We Dead Awaken. Ibsen returned to Norway in 1891 and died there at the age of seventy-eight. Deborah Dawkin and Erik Skuggevik are freelance literary translators. Tore Rem is Professor of British literature at the University of Oslo and author of Henry Gibson/Henrik Ibsen (2006).
"A Door into Ocean" is the novel upon which the author's reputation as an important SF writer principally rests. A ground-breaking work both of feminist SF and of world-building hard SF, it concerns the Sharers of Shora, a nation of women on a distant moon in the far future who are pacifists, highly advanced in biological sciences, and who reproduce by parthenogenesis--there are no males--and tells of the conflicts that erupt when a neighboring civilization decides to develop their ocean world, and send in an army.

A vicious rivalry. A forbidden desire. A curse only her enemy can break. After twenty years stuck in a fae convent with no word from whoever abandoned her there, Briony Rose is all out of hope. But when her parents suddenly claim her and reveal she’s a lost fae princess, she’s burdened with the weight of a kingdom on the brink of collapse. To secure her family’s precarious position, she must marry a wealthy human stranger. She would have done her duty with pride…if it weren’t for Thorne Blackwood. Thorne Blackwood harbors three things: a secret name, a love for baked goods, and a long-standing plan for revenge on the family that destroyed his own. Briony Rose—a woman born to be his nemesis—provides the solution. With a single touch, he controls her. And through that control, he tricks her into triggering a curse that sends her family into one hundred years of enchanted sleep. But Briony isn’t the soft princess he expected her to be. She’s just as sharp and cunning as he is, and when she traps him in a bargain to reverse her family’s curse, he has no choice but to join a tense alliance. He too stands to gain from her plans, for if they break the sleeping spell, his own family will return from their forced slumber. To accomplish their goal, they must cooperate on one task: pair Briony with a husband who will make her parents proud. It should be easy. Thorne has connections while Briony has wit and beauty. What neither of them expects is the forbidden desire that burns in their darkest hearts… ACOTAR meets Kingdom of the Wicked in this standalone fairytale retelling of Sleeping Beauty. If you like enemies-to-lovers romance where the villain gets the girl, you’ll love this swoon-worthy story in the Entangled with Fae series. *NOTE this book is new adult featuring mature situations and some adult language.

Victoria risks everything to leave a dangerous marriage and gain a second chance at life. But when her escape goes awry, she finds herself caught in the strong embrace of a mysterious siren, forced to choose: temporary salvation or immediate death. And so, a cursed deal is struck. Five years later, Victoria is alive-and the world's finest ship captain. But her debt to the siren looms while her conniving ex has demanded a king's ransom as the final price of her freedom. Victoria refuses to cause her family to suffer any more on her behalf, and is determined to make things right before her time is up. But that time is cut short. The siren comes for her. Six months early. Taken to the magical and deadly Eversea, home of the sirens, Victoria discovers she's the sacrifice upon which all sirens pin their hopes. If they want to appease an angry god and save a world on the brink of destruction, then they need her. Which gives her the perfect leverage.

In a realm of ancient magic, submerged secrets, and forgotten gods, can love find a place among shattered hearts as they race against time and the blossoming of forbidden desires? Or will the delicate songs of their hearts be silenced once and for all?

Viele nehmen sich und ihre Kunst in ihren Autobiografien sehr, sehr ernst. Eric Goulden, der 1977 seine Karriere unter dem Namen Wreckless Eric mit seinem einzigen Hit »Whole Wide World« begann, macht diesen Fehler nicht. »A Dysfunctional Success« (Ein dysfunktionaler Erfolg) ist selbstironisch, nonchalant und schwarzhumorig, beinhaltet aber dennoch das, was man von einer Musikerautobiografie unbedingt erwarten darf: eine From-Rags-to-Riches-Story. Nur dass es bei Goulden auch wieder steil zurück zu den Rags ging. Ein massives Drogenproblem ist natürlich auch dabei, in Gouldens Fall eine Amour fou mit dem Alkohol. Und eine Amour fou des selbsternannten »Donovan of Trash« zur Popmusik. Soviel Freude sie auch dem Publikum bereitet, soviel Ärger kann Popmusik den Produzenten machen. Davon kann Goulden ein Liedchen singen bzw. ein Buch schreiben.In »A Dysfunctional Success« zeichnet Goulden sein Leben nach. Geburt, Coming of Age im grimmigen England der 1960er und 1970er Jahre, beschissene Jobs und (vermeintliche) Rettung durch Pop. Er schreibt über seine Unfähigkeit, sich in die Gesellschaft einzufügen, den schnellen Ruhm und die lange Erfolglosigkeit beim Label Stiff Records, das seinen Labelmates wie etwa Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe oder Madness durchaus funktionierenden Erfolg bescherte. »A Dysfunctional Success« ist nicht nur die Geschichte eines verkannten Genies, sondern auch die subjektive Geschichte des Punk von einem, der von Anfang an nicht nur dabei, sondern mittendrin war.»In den frühen Tagen von Stiff Records fragte Label-Gründer Jake Riviera jeden, was er sein wollte: reich oder berühmt. Ich dachte, die Antwort sei einfach - ich wollte berühmt sein, weil man das von mir erwartete, und wenn ich ein paar Hits hätte, wäre ich sicher sowieso reich. Aber 'berühmt' war die falsche Antwort - Elvis Costello zum Beispiel sagte 'reich'.« - Eric Goulden

A small-town brother's best friend romance from the bestselling author of Flawless and Wild Love. I kissed my best friend's little sister, and the world stood still. That night we were two perfect strangers, the town's grumpy recluse and a gorgeous girl in the back of a bar. Until we weren't. Because Nadia Dalca isn't just some girl, she's the girl I can't have. Fourteen years younger than me and completely off-limits. My plan is to stay away, but the universe keeps pushing us together. It's like some sort of cosmic joke, to give me a taste of something so electric - so real - that breathed life back into me. Because I can look, but I can't touch. Her sinful curves, her light-hearted laughter, her wild side... I'm addicted to every last bit of her. And when she turns those sultry eyes on me, so full of longing and free of judgement? I've always considered myself a strong man but, when she looks at me, I'm weak. To give in to our connection would be a betrayal. Her brother is the only family she has left and, sad as it sounds, he's also my only friend. But I kissed her again anyway. And now I can't stop.
