"We act like children with our dead," Halyna Kruk writes as she struggles to come to terms with the horror unfolding around her: "confused,/ as if none of us knew until now/ how easy it is to die." In poem after devastating poem, Kruk confronts what we would prefer not to see: "a person runs toward a bullet/ with a wooden shield and a warm heart..." Translated with the utmost of care by Amelia Glaser and Yulia Ilchuk, A Crash Course in Molotov Cocktails is a guidebook to the emotional combat in Ukraine. These stunning poems of witness by one of Ukraine's most revered poets are by turns breathless, philosophical, and visionary. In a dark recapitulation of evolution itself, Kruk writes: "nothing predicted the arrival of humankind..../ nothing predicted the arrival of the tank..." Her taught, lean lines can turn epigrammatic: "what will kill you will seduce you first," or they can strike you like Lomachenko's lightening jabs: "flirt, Cheka agent, bitch." Leading readers into the world's darkest spaces, Kruk implies that the light of language can nevertheless afford some measure of protection. Naming serves as a shield, albeit a wooden one. The paradox is that after the bullets have been fired and the missiles landed, the wooden shield, the printed book, reconstitutes itself.

An incisive overview of the macroeconomics of financial crises—essential reading for students and policy experts alikeWith alarming frequency, modern economies go through macro-financial crashes that arise from the financial sector and spread to the broader economy, inflicting deep and prolonged recessions. A Crash Course on Crises brings together the latest cutting-edge economic research to identify the seeds of these crashes, reveal their triggers and consequences, and explain what policymakers can do about them.Each of the book’s ten self-contained chapters introduces readers to a key economic force and provides case studies that illustrate how that force was dominant. Markus Brunnermeier and Ricardo Reis show how the run-up phase of a crisis often occurs in ways that are preventable but that may go unnoticed and discuss how debt contracts, banks, and a search for safety can act as triggers and amplifiers that drive the economy to crash. Brunnermeier and Reis then explain how monetary, fiscal, and exchange-rate policies can respond to crises and prevent them from becoming persistent.With case studies ranging from Chile in the 1970s to the COVID-19 pandemic, A Crash Course on Crises synthesizes a vast literature into ten simple, accessible ideas and illuminates these concepts using novel diagrams and a clear analytical framework.

'Humanism' is among the most powerful terms in historical and contemporary political, religious, and philosophical debates. The term serves to position itself in ideological conflicts and to cement a claim to interpretation, but is highly contradictory. This Element addresses 'humanism' in its striking contradictions. Contemporary definitions are confronted with the historical contexts the term 'humanism' is applied to. Based on Niethammer's invention of 'humanism' as an anti-enlightenment pedagogical concept (1808), the book does not present a mere conceptual history, but rather a theoretically oriented discourse, an examination of the front positions, between which humanism has been constructed. In this way, its 'impossibility' is shown, which is rooted in its strict contextuality. Secondly, historiographical alternatives to this dilemma are pointed out, in order to finally give suggestions not only for an ethical-normative work of the historian of humanism, but for dealing with 'humanism' in general, in connection with discourse-theoretical suggestions. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.

Die Deutsche Opernsängerin Lilli Lehmann (1848-1929) ist heute noch dafür berühmt, das italienische Bel Canto, wie auch das deutsche Repertoire gleichermaßen zu beherrschen. Sie war aber nicht >nur< Sängerin sondern auch Schriftstellerin, Regisseurin und Leiterin des früheren Salzburger Mozartfestes. Durch die Untersuchung vieler, teilweise neu entdeckter Quellen, wird ihre Biographie in dieser Dissertation neu bewertet. Außerdem wird ihr Beitrag zur Entwicklung eines neuen aesthetischen Empfindens in den Bereichen Lied und Oper um 1900 untersucht. Eine umfassende Analyse der Korrespondenz zwischen Lilli Lehman und Victor Maurel wird präsentiert und sein Einfluss auf ihre Arbeit als Schriftstellerin erörtert. Schließlich wird ihre Arbeit als Regisseurin beim Mozartfest in Salzburg, ihr Beitrag zur Etablierung der Salzburger Festspiele und ihre Gründung des Mozarteums, des Konservatoriums in Salzburg, betrachtet. Die englischsprachige Studie beleuchtet Lilli Lehmanns bedeutenden Beitrag und ihren Einfluss speziell durch ihre Arbeit, aber auch durch ihre Rolle als protofeministisches Vorbild.

I'm dreaming of a frightful Christmas... The first thing that Patrolman Zane Cohen notices when he meets Helen Bell again in this new season is that she is not herself. The libraries of the Volumes of Wisdom have been burned to ash. Believers of the Truth are disappearing across the snow globe. A Beast of the darkness is taking hostages and building his army in Winter. And Helen... Helen sees it all unfolding in her dreams. When the Volumes of Wisdom begin to whisper clues of something hidden in Winter that might turn the tides of the oncoming war, Helen finds herself trekking into the prickly pines and thundering songs of war drums in the Green Kingdom. She claims she's there as an emissary of the Three Kings of the East. But the true reason she's risked stepping into a kingdom of the verge of losing a deadly war... Is to steal the Queen of the Pines garland crown right from atop her head.

This magical Christian fantasy adventure totally hits the spot and got everything right. It is a beautiful reminder of what is truly important in life." - USA Today Bestselling author Astrid V. J.

Lord Hal of Crydee and his great friend Ty Hawkins, champion swordsman of the Masters' Court, are entrusted with the task of smuggling Princess Stephane and her lady-in-waiting, the lovely but mysterious Lady Gabriella, out of Roldem to a place of greater safety. But is there any safe haven to be found? Meanwhile, Hal's younger brothers Martin and Brendan are attempting to hold the strategic city of Ylith against an onslaught of Keshian Dog Soldiers, and a mysterious force from beneath the sea. The Kingdom might lose Crydee and recover; but if Ylith falls, all is lost. An unknown player appears to orchestrating these conflicts.

Never promise a life that isn't yours to give. New York City is decked out for the holidays, and Special Agent Patrick Collins is looking forward to a reunion with his old team when he gets assigned a new case. A human child is missing, and the changeling left in her place causes a prominent witch family to demand justice from the fae. Meanwhile, continued harassment from the New York City god pack forces Jonothon de Vere to formally establish his own with Patrick. Doing so will mean a civil war within the werecreature community-a war they risk losing from the start without alliances. Making bargains with the fae is never wise, but Patrick and Jono have nothing to lose when a fae lord comes asking for their help. The Summer Lady has been kidnapped from the Seelie Court, and if they can find her, Patrick and Jono will cement an alliance with the fae. But the clues to her disappearance are found in Tír na nÓg, and the Otherworld has never been kind to mortals. Venturing past the veil, Patrick and Jono risk losing territory, time, and their very lives while searching for answers. Because the Queen of Air and Darkness knows they are coming-and the ruler of the Unseelie Court has an offer for them they can't possibly refuse.

What if life didn't have to feel like survival? What if love was steady? What if joy was allowed? What if we chose warmth over the hustle? A Crown Of Sunlit Things was born from golden evenings, quiet streets, countryside paths, and these nagging questions.Written while wandering through castles, ruins, and her lover's hometown, her collection lives at the intersection of fairytale longing and real emotional growth. Blending dreamy imagery with modern vulnerability, this collection explores what happens after survival-when love is no longer something to endure, but something safe enough to rest inside of. These poems celebrate tenderness, devotion, partnership, and the kind of romance built on warmth rather than chaos.Inside, you'll find: - Soft, steady love instead of dramatic highs and lows- European-inspired imagery: castles, cobblestone streets, wildflower fields, golden light- Healing after heartbreak, trauma, and emotional exhaustion- Sensuality & Intimacy written with warmth, reverence, and emotional depth- Domestic intimacy woven with fairytale wonder- Dreaming of a slower, softer life built on presence, not pressure- Happiness & HopeWritten during a season of travel and romantic daydreaming, A Crown Of Sunlit Things captures the moment you realize you are allowed to build a life that feels beautiful-not just productive.This is poetry for romantics tired of the grind.For readers who love fairytale-inspired aesthetics, and emotionally honest reflections on love, healing, and desire.For anyone craving emotional safety and softness.For anyone who is learning that gentleness is not weakness.You survived, now you get to live.

Imagine trying to understand a stained glass window by breaking it into pieces and examining it one shard at a time. While you could probably learn a lot about each piece, you would have no idea about what the entire picture looks like. This is reductionism,the idea that to understand the world we only need to study its pieces,and it is how most social scientists approach their work.In A Crude Look at the Whole , social scientist and economist John H. Miller shows why we need to start looking at whole pictures. For one thing, whether we are talking about stock markets, computer networks, or biological organisms, individual parts only make sense when we remember that they are part of larger wholes. And perhaps more importantly, those wholes can take on behaviours that are strikingly different from that of their pieces.Miller, a leading expert in the computational study of complex adaptive systems, reveals astounding global patterns linking the organization of otherwise radically different structures: It might seem crude, but a beehive's temperature control system can help predict market fluctuations and a mammal's heartbeat can help us understand the heartbeat" of a city and adapt urban planning accordingly. From enduring racial segregation to sudden stock market disasters, once we start drawing links between complex systems, we can start solving what otherwise might be totally intractable problems.Thanks to this revolutionary perspective, we can finally transcend the limits of reductionism and discover crucial new ideas. Scientifically founded and beautifully written, A Crude Look at the Whole is a powerful exploration of the challenges that we face as a society. As it reveals, taking the crude look might be the only way to truly see.

Do God's emotions, desires, and commands determine what is morally good? And if so, must we take the idea of a potentially cruel God seriously? The contributors discuss these questions by dealing with the divine command theories, alternative approaches to a decidedly religious metaethics, and fundamental questions of theological ethics as a whole.
