However, living amongst humans proves just as difficult.

La Giudea è in fiamme, rivolte e massacri si susseguono sotto lo sguardo costernato di cinque personaggi che osservano increduli l'ascesa e il declino del re dei Giudei, Simone bar Giora: forse un messia, forse un mistico, forse un mago, di certo un rivoluzionario e un nemico dell'Impero. Tito, il fratello Domiziano, un maestro di cerimonie, un cospiratore ebreo e uno scanzonato vagabondo scrivono all'imperatore Vespasiano, interrogandosi su Simone, l'uomo che sta guidando i Giudei alla rivolta. Dalla sua apparizione tra le fila della guerra giudaica, fino alla sua crocifissione a Roma, la figura di Simone bar Giora si compone e si ricompone lettera dopo lettera, attraversando come un fantasma le maglie della nostra tradizione. In un mosaico caleidoscopico di citazioni, Cinque Lettere a Vespasiano intesse un giallo storico che scandalizza, rapisce e che riscrive una pagina ancora sconosciuta della nostra antichità . Mario Barbaglia, architetto e designer milanese, è nato nel 1950. Ha firmato diverse lampade di conclamato successo internazionale, ma i suoi interessi sono molteplici. Mario Barbaja, cantautore prog, è il suo alter ego musicale
De 1970 à 1975, pendant cinq longues années, le Cambodge a été le théâtre d'une guerre dévastatrice, qui a été qualifiée à tort de "guerre civile". Curieusement, cette guerre meurtrière - qui a fait 5 à 600 000 morts selon les estimations actuelles - n'a été étudiée méthodiquement dans aucun ouvrage, alors que de très nombreux livres ont été publiés sur la guerre du Vietnam qui s'est achevée aussi en 1975. On appréciera donc d'autant plus l'ouvrage que le Général Sosthène FERNANDEZ, ancien Commandant en chef des Forces Armées Nationales Khmères, a consacré à l'étude de cette guerre du Cambodge, bien mal connue jusqu'à présent.

An easy read for a very complex subject. This pocketbook introduces three forward ideas regarding our evolution and our ancient past. 1 - Humans are a product of the environmental change associated with the start of the glacial cycles. 2 - There have existed not just one, but many other ancient civilizations, in various pockets of time, separated by major global disasters, all likely unaware of each-other's existence. 3 - Using pyramid cardinal deviations, glacial cycles and Earth's precession, the construction time of the Egyptian pyramids is calculated and argued to be about sixteen-thousand years ago.
A long time ago, in a world far far away, I used this material I for my stand-up comedy act.It is a collection of strange and comical book titles that I created. None of which should beused as any kind of how-to help book. If you enjoy a good laugh, and even sometimes at myown expense ( I poke fun of myself here too ) then have a good laugh on me.

Undisturbed, glaucoma blinds people. It respects neither gender nor education; it ignores wealth and privilege. We have no cure for it and we cannot reverse the damage that it has caused. Glaucoma affects about 2% of people over 40 years of age. It is not rare. It is the commonest cause of irreversible and preventable visual disability everywhere. But most of the time we can control it. The earlier glaucoma is diagnosed, the less damage that has been caused, the better the long-term outlook. Early detection requires informed communities whose members seek eye examinations as well as knowledgeable and appropriately equipped eye health care professionals. This requires access to a worthwhile health system. Even in developed societies, about 50% of patients with glaucoma have not been diagnosed and are not on treatment. Half of these undiagnosed people have been seen by an eye health care practitioner in the last two years. With this book, we wish to enlighten our readers with quality information to minimize visual disability from glaucoma.
Mientras que en nuestras vidas cotidianas la lectura en voz alta de un texto escrito suele ser menos frecuente que el hecho de "hablar", construyendo frases de forma espontánea cuando participamos en una conversación, en la práctica musical y en los procesos de educación musical se suele otorgar una importancia considerable a la lectura de "textos", a la interpretación musical de partituras, a veces en serio detrimento de la actividad de improvisar, que podría considerarse el equivalente a "hablar" el lenguaje de la música. En este libro se ofrecen, desde la investigación y reflexión, varias aportaciones en torno a la improvisación musical en grupo y sus beneficios en el contexto educativo y terapéutico. El Aprendizaje Social y Emocional y la Musicoterapia son dos áreas de conocimiento que inspiran los estudios y propuestas que aquí se comparten. Entre otros contenidos, este libro presenta: Una autoetnografía en torno a una experiencia de improvisación grupal libreEl diseño y evaluación de un proyecto de improvisación grupal dirigido a estudiantes de un conservatorio profesional de músicaUna serie de propuestas didácticas relacionadas con la improvisación musical en grupo Luis Ponce de León es Doctor en Ciencias de la Educación (UNED).
