This title was first published in 2003. The transition from socialism experienced by the countries of Eastern and Central Europe during the last decade has been recognised as a profound historical watershed. It is only now, however, that the meanings and dimensions of 'post-socialism' are becoming apparent. The use of the 'biographical perspective' in research provides a unique avenue for studying these changes. Biographical Research in Eastern Europe is the only edited volume that brings the work of many of the most advanced and active biographical researchers working on Eastern Europe together in one volume. The book is organized into four parts. 'The Potential of Biographical Research,' explores the methodological issues. Arguments for the appropriateness of the biographical approach as a humanistic perspective are put forward and emphasis is laid on its fruitfulness for research into everyday lives and for the study of identity construction with particular reference to transition. 'Communists, Informers and Dissidents,' deals with the structural features of Soviet regimes, with a particular focus on the problematic divisions between public and private spheres of life. 'The Impact of Social Change,' demonstrates the value of the biographical approach as an instrument for the study of social and cultural change. 'Exile, Migration and Ethnicity,' centres on the problem of constructing and maintaining ethnic identities under repression; a context that can be seen as disturbing life-trajectories and framing the life story. Covering a wide range of 'post-socialist' countries, the chapters are unified by a common research perspective and an informative introduction that identifies common themes across the selections.

"Forgive and forget" is the mantra. But what if the path to true peace is "forgive and remember"? This is the radical and liberating truth shared by two authors who bridge the Catholic-Protestant divide. Together they show that true forgiveness lies the other side of grace-filled remembering, not denial-laden forgetting. Seldom the work of a moment, the path of forgiveness does not run straight and its many difficulties can leave us trapped in a cycle of hate and despair. Forgiveness Remembers sensitively shows how God's grace can break this cycle and instead catch us up in a spiral of hope that leads into the freedom and compassion of God. This book is for anyone who struggles with forgiveness--with grace that seems so unfair--but who longs to know God's grace and continue the journey into His heart.

In August 2015, Robert Miller and Bruce Gendelman toured sites of the Holocaust s atrocities. Led by the former Special Envoy to Combat and Monitor Anti-Semitism and a Catholic priest, and accompanied by survivors of the Holocaust, they met witnesses, deniers, and ghosts of their ancestors. Sifting through Ashes is their effort to capture what they experienced, and an attempt, in some small way, to make sense of how the Holocaust happened.

Nunca te has preguntado por qu a pesar de hacer ejercicio y llevar una dieta "normal" sigues teniendo barriga? O por qu de repente tienes muchas ganas de comer, as sin m s, incluso despu s de haber comido? Sabes por qu unas personas, sin hacer ejercicio est n m s delgadas que otras? Y por qu hay gente que tiene una gran barriga pero el resto del cuerpo no tiene grasa? Sabes por qu cuando creces (a pesar de hacer el mismo ejercicio toda tu vida) est s m s gordo, y precisamente suele ser en la barriga? Los "expertos" nos ense aron que la mujer suele acumular grasa en las caderas y culo y el hombre en la barriga. Entonces por qu ahora las mujeres tambi n tienen grasa en la barriga? Y los ni os? Y los beb s? Qu te hace engordar y por qu ? Por qu no funcionan las dietas? Estas son las grandes preguntas que todos nos hacemos a diario. Y ahora, por fin, todas de ellas tienen respuesta y sentido. Los gobiernos, "expertos" y "profesionales" de la salud han fallado estrepitosamente en sus pautas. Con solo echar un vistazo a tu alrededor, ver s que han creado un mundo obeso. Es hora de cambiar esa visi n. Es hora de saber la verdad. Es hora de recuperar nuestro peso de una vez por todas y para siempre.

1. 1 Contexts The principal issue with which this monograph deals is the role of the hippocam­ pus in establishing and using representations of contexts for information processing. However, before this issue can be addressed directly, it is necessary to ask "what is meant by the word 'context' ?". The first answer which comes to mind is likely to be something along the following lines: "A context is a framework (or background) of information with respect to whieh more specific 'items' ofinformation can be identified and manipulated". This answer may be correct, but it begs a fundamental question. Why should it be necessary to subdivide information into specific "items" of information, and the more global backgrounds, or frameworks? This question is especially pertinent if we are thinking of information representation in the brain, since neuroscientists (or at least the vast majority of them) believe that the basic way in whieh patterns of information are encoded in the brain is as combinations of connections, selected in a variety of ways. Since both "items" of information and "contexts" are just such patterns, apparently differing only in size, it is far from clear why there should be a categorical division between the two. ! This question is relatively new in the neurosciences. However, in a somewhat different guise it has been alive for a long time, since the publication ofImmanuel Kant's Critique 01 Pure Reason.

The 'European project' is in a state of perpetual crisis in which the root cause is a lack of identification by ordinary citizens with Europe and European institutions. The Evolution of European Identities employs state of the art analysis of in-depth interviews by renowned practitioners to give a unique 'bottoms up' perspective on the development (or its lack) of a sense of 'European mental space'. Linking conceptual findings with case studies, the book provides unique insights into groups that have been especially sensitized by their life experiences to question what it means to be European in the twenty-first century. The groups explored in this book include: adults who experienced European education exchanges when young; transnational workers; civil society organization activists; persons involved in cross-border intimate relationships; farmers who are subject to European markets, regulations and subsidies; and migrants into 'fortress Europe'.

This book examines the Old Testament language about Israel’s relationship with God in the light of Assyrian royal propaganda. Unpacking this language’s meaning in both Assyrian and biblical contexts, it shows Israel borrowed language from Assyrian vassal treaties to describe its covenant with God, and this book reveals what “covenant” meant, and that it is not “covenant” at all, but “grace.” The broader theological implications of this discovery are explored in dialogue with contemporary theologians. The book takes seriously the study of text in its ancient context in order to highlight the theological content and its modern relevance.
