Cecilia, young, fearless, and privileged is drawn precariously to the early Christian Church in Rome while her childhood friend, Elagabalus, groomed to be emperor by his murderous and scheming grandmother, goes on a different path. This story of their brief but incredibly intense relationship based on historical characters and timelines, vividly brings alive the sprawling Empire's titanic and bloody power struggles and inevitable clash with the early Christian church. Palace intrigue, obsession, assassination, inspiration, insanity, and love, weave together a heartbreaking story of two different people swept up in the cultural and religious forces transforming Rome in the early third century.
Un terribile conflitto ha messo messo in ginocchio l'umanit . Creature che si credeva esistessero solo nella mitologia e nei peggiori incubi hanno preso piede su tutto il pianeta.Andrea un giovane autodidatta che tenta disperatamente di far finire la guerra;Sharon una ragazza isolata in una Londra ormai all'estremo della civilt ;Antony, detto Tony, un ex architetto opportunista che non concepisce la morte dell'arte;Martina, una cacciatrice che non accetta il suo passato.Cosa possono fare quattro persone, che non hanno nulla in comune, per far finire un conflitto che non gli appartiene?Tra armi mistiche, leggende mai raccontate e la stessa venuta delle creature Celesti, i quattro compieranno un viaggio ai limiti dell'impossibile, per provare a salvare ci che resta della loro realt .Chi sono gli Arcani? I Celesti? Ci salveranno? O finiremo nell'oblio dell'abisso?Perch l'Arcangelo Gabriel sembra non ricordare la sua nascita?"...potrei aiutarvi, ma vorrei che prima rispondeste ad una semplice domanda: cosa sareste disposti a fare per vincere la guerra? Arrivereste a sacrificare la vostra stessa vita ed esistenza?..."

How can we live well with tech, without it becoming our master? These days, the heady promises of Silicon Valley seem suspect: the internet didn’t bring all of humanity together; neither did smartphones or social media. We have long since stopped associating tech with utopian visions of global harmony, instead blaming it for distraction, polarization, addictions to porn and gambling, the trivialization of culture, loss of privacy and work-life balance, and fears that automation may push millions out of a job. Advances in artificial intelligence seem poised to bring us to the next technological watershed. It’s a good time to ask how we can learn to live well with tech, and how we might push back against technologies that shape humans in anti-human ways. On this theme: Find out why computers can’t do math and humans can.When parenting from prison, a little tech can make a big difference.Glucose monitoring systems transform life for children with diabetes.Should ChatGPT write sermons and prayers?From scrolls to scrolling, tech has changed the way Jewish people read scriptureWill AI bring the end of the world, or is it already here?An intentional community tries to be intentional about personal technology.Our struggle with technology goes back to the Tower of Babel in Genesis.A farmer praises a simple piece of technology – the rock bar. Also in this issue: A photo essay about children on the frontlines in UkraineA philosopher’s proposal for a gift economyThe winners of the 2024 Rhina Espaillat Poetry AwardInsights from Gerard Manley Hopkins, E.

Start, focus, or extend your integrated STEM education journey with an authentic interdisciplinary perspective! In response to calls for active STEM learning that builds students’ agency and sense of belonging, teachers and leaders are being encouraged more and more to equitably implement integrated STEM instruction. This practical guidebook is designed to help educators create integrated STEM learning experiences that are inclusive for all students and allows them to experience STEM as scientists, innovators, mathematicians, creators, engineers, and technology experts! Addressing the STEM status quo and promoting inclusiveness in STEM fields, the authors center their work around the Equity-Oriented Conceptual Framework for STEM Literacy, which provides high-quality integrated strategies to connect students' lived experiences to STEM learning. Simplifying STEM provides a ground-breaking model of the four Integrated STEM Practices (ISPs) to ensure coherent and aligned teaching across disciplines through authentic opportunities to meaningfully engage students. Learn how to simplify STEM with these four equitable practices to inspire deep learning Use critical and creative thinking to seek solutionsCollaborate and use appropriate tools to engage in iterative designCommunicate solutions based on evidence and dataRecognize and use structures in real-world systems Including a STEM planning guide as well as instructional strategies and assessments for standard alignment, this is an essential resource for any educator seeking to empower their students with meaningful STEM learning experiences. The book includes an online implementation toolkit to give educators opportunities for powerful professional development built on collaboration and connection.

The Index of Middle English Prose is an international collaborative project which will ultimately locate, identify and record all extant Middle English prose texts composed between c.1200 and c.1500, in both manuscript andprinted form in medieval and post-medieval versions. The first step towards this goal has been this series of Handlists, each recording the holdings of a major library or group of libraries. Compiled by scholars, Handlists include detailed descriptions ofeach prose item with identifications, categorisations and full bibliographical data. Every Handlist will also contain a series of indexes including listings of opening and closing lines, authors, titles, subject matter and rubrics. For students of the middle ages Handlists provide essential bibliographical tools and shed light on a wide range of subjects.
