The silence of God is a recurring theme in modern reflection. It is not only addressed in theology, religious studies and philosophy, but also in literary fiction, film and theatre. The authors show that the concept of a silent deity emerged in the ancient Near East (including Greece). What did the Ancients mean when they assumed that under circumstances their deities remained silent? What reasons are discernable for silence between human beings and their gods? For the first time the close interrelation between the divine and the human in the revelatory process is demonstrated here on the basis of a wealth of translated ancient texts. In an intriguing epilogue, the authors explore the theological consequences of what they have found.

The gladiator is one of the most enduring figures of Ancient Rome. Heroic, though of lowly status, they fought vicious duals in large arenas filled with baying crowds. The survivor could be either executed (the famous ‘thumbs down’ signal) or spared at the whim of the crowd or the Emperor. Few lasted more than a dozen fights, yet they were a valuable asset to their owners. But how did they fight and how did their weapons and techniques develop? Who were they? This book gives an entertaining overview of the history of the gladiator, debunking some myths along the way. We learn about the different forms of combat, and the pairings which were designed to carefully balance the strengths and weaknesses of one against the other. The retiarii (with nets) were lightly armed but mobile, the secutores and murmillones protected but weighted down by their armour. Gladiators also participated in simulated naval battles on large artificial lakes or even in the arena of the Colosseum. Although their lives were brutal and short, gladiators often were admired for their bravery, endurance, and willingness to die. They were the celebrities of their day. This book reveals what we know and how we know it: ancient remains, contemporary literature, graffiti, modern attempts to reconstruct ancient fighting techniques and above all the discovery at Pompeii where a complete gladiator barracks was found alongside multiple skeletons tell their story.

Taking it upon herself to lead the petition against the closure, Agatha sees a perfect opportunity to confront redeveloper Lord Ancombe when she is invited to his annual Civil War re-enactment at Ancombe Manor.

But before the scones can be served, Lord Ancombe is discovered shot dead. Suddenly Agatha has not just a pub to save, but a murder to solve. It seems her investigations are not everyone's cup of tea . . . Agatha has the distinct impression that someone is trying to silence her, for good Praise for the Agatha Raisin novels: 'A Beaton novel is like The Archers on speed' DAILY MAIL 'The detective novels of M C Beaton have reached cult status' THE TIMES 'Agatha is like Miss Marple with a drinking problem, a pack-a-day habit and major man lust.

Though the basic statistical theory behind modern genetics is not that difficult, most statistical genetics papers are not easy to read for beginners, and fitting formulae to a particular area of application quickly becomes very tedious. Introduction to Statistical Methods in Modern Genetics makes a clear distinction between the necessary and unnecessary complexities. The author keeps the derivations of methods simple without losing the mathematical details. He also provides the necessary background in modern genetics for newcomers to the field, including discussion ranging from biological and molecular experiments to gene hunting and genetic engineering.
Who deserves to be a citizen? Colonial Citizenship reveals how citizenship emerged from empire as a technology of racial and civilisational sorting. Navigating the longest-standing European empire, it analyses colonial policies, citizenship regulations and segregation laws to show how citizenship works as both affirmation and denial of rights. Drawing on newly uncovered Portuguese archives, it develops a critical citizenship theory that asks, from the perspective of the colonised, who has the right to have rights and whether citizenship, despite its colonial nature, can become a tool for justice. A devastating critique and a theory of survival essential for decolonial studies, jurisprudence, and constitutional law.

He practices aiming a foam pebble at a round target with his slingshot to be ready to aim the pebble accurately at the helmet of Goliath during the play. There is a new student in Tyler's class this year, and Tyler and this new student, Joel, become close friends. During recess break after the students go out to the yard to play, Joel attempts to aim a basketball the the net, but misses a few times. The students take the ball away from Joel, and tell him that they don't want him to play with them because he is not a good basketball player. They exclude him from joining their game while explaining that no one wants him on either team. Tyler feels with Joel's sadness at being disrespected, rejected, and bullied. When Tyler learns from Joel that he is very good at using a slingshot and has had practice in aiming accurately at a target with it, he offers him the role of acting David in his place. Tyler believed that when the students observed the successful aim of Joel, they would begin respecting him and stop bullying him. Tyler's plan succeeded. Joel earned the admiration of everyone watching the play in the school auditorium. Joel was elated. His self-confidence and joy were restored. Tyler felt content although he had lost the opportunity to act the role himself. His heart only felt a love that was uniting all the students present in the school auditorium.
This is the same story that was written in English with the title "Tyler's Promised Gift", and which won the Mom's Choice Award honoring excellence. Author/illustrator M. C. Abushar has rewritten it in this French edition titled "Cadeau Promis A Tyler." It also includes the identical illustrations found in the English-language edition. Tyler is still the same loved and admired rabbit-hero with whom children became acquainted in the "Tyler, the Rabbit series", and possesses the same character traits that led to his being appreciated by parents and educators because he models exemplary behavior. Tyler obeys all his mother's requests so that she would buy him his most desired toy for his birthday. On the day of his birthday Tyler discovers a young guest in tears because he was the only one at the party who had no toy of his own with which to play. Tyler acts quickly. He stops the younger rabbit from crying by offering him his new toy.
