The bestselling author of The Willpower Instinct introduces a surprising science-based book that doesn't tell us why we should exercise but instead shows us how to fall in love with movement. Exercise is health-enhancing and life-extending, yet many of us feel it's a chore. But, as Kelly McGonigal reveals, it doesn't have to be. Movement can and should be a source of joy. Through her trademark blend of science and storytelling, McGonigal draws on insights from neuroscience, psychology, anthropology, and evolutionary biology, as well as memoirs, ethnographies, and philosophers. She shows how movement is intertwined with some of the most basic human joys, including self-expression, social connection, and mastery--and why it is a powerful antidote to the modern epidemics of depression, anxiety, and loneliness. McGonigal tells the stories of people who have found fulfillment and belonging through running, walking, dancing, swimming, weightlifting, and more, with examples that span the globe, from Tanzania, where one of the last hunter-gatherer tribes on the planet live, to a dance class at Juilliard for people with Parkinson's disease, to the streets of London, where volunteers combine fitness and community service, to races in the remote wilderness, where athletes push the limits of what a human can endure. Along the way, McGonigal paints a portrait of human nature that highlights our capacity for hope, cooperation, and self-transcendence. The result is a revolutionary narrative that goes beyond familiar arguments in favor of exercise, to illustrate why movement is integral to both our happiness and our humanity. Readers will learn what they can do in their own lives and communities to harness the power of movement to create happiness, meaning, and connection.

In this fifth volume of the BayloraMohr Siebeck Studies in Early Christianity series, Michael Wolter provides a detailed, verse-by-verse interpretation of the Third Evangelist's Gospel (Luke 9:51a24). Wolter's commentary fully complements the great tradition of "Handbooks of the New Testament" published by Mohr Siebeck. Replacing the third edition of Erich Klostermann's commentary on Luke, Wolter's volume rightly joins those by Conzelmann (Acts), KAsemann (Romans), and Lietzmann (1 Corinthians) in this venerable series. Wolter's approach to a sustained reading of Luke's Gospel is comprehensive. He carefully places Luke's narrative of Jesus in its cultural context, paying close attention to the relationship of the Gospel with its Jewish and Greco-Roman environment. Wolter performs form-critical and narrative analysis of the specific stories; however, Wolter also emphasizes Luke as a theologian and his Gospel as a work of theology. Centrally, Wolter recognizes how Luke's narrative of Jesus forms the first part of a unified workathe Acts of Apostles being the secondathat represents a new moment in Israel's history. But in surprising new ways, Wolter makes clear that it is God alone who works in and through the words and deeds of Jesus to bring salvation to Israel. His commentary shows that Luke succeeds in preserving the history of Jesus and its theological impact and that this history stands on equal footing with the history of early Christianity. Wolter's thorough, careful reading follows Luke as the Evangelist seeks to explain how the fulfillment of the Old Testament promises of God for Israel results in a parting of the ways between the Christian church on the one side and Judaism on the other. Scholars and students alike will benefit from access to new German scholarship now available to English-language audiences.
As it was in Anna Karenina, Madame Bovary, and Othello, so it is in life. Most forms of private vice and public evil are kindled and sustained by lies. Acts of adultery and other personal betrayals, financial fraud, government corruption--even murder and genocide--generally require an additional moral defect: a willingness to lie. In Lying, best-selling author and neuroscientist Sam Harris argues that we can radically simplify our lives and improve society by merely telling the truth in situations where others often lie. He focuses on "white" lies--those lies we tell for the purpose of sparing people discomfort--for these are the lies that most often tempt us. And they tend to be the only lies that good people tell while imagining that they are being good in the process.
"The authors argue against certain philosophical distinctions between art and science; between verbal and nonverbal meaning; and between the affective and the cognitive. The book continues Goodman's argument against one traditional mode of philosophizing which privileges the notions of 'truth' and 'knowledge'. Hence, the book is in a broadly pragmatic tradition. It also deals in detail with such topics as meaning in architecture and the concept of 'variation' in art, and contains a superb critique of some important views in contemporary epistemology. This work will be savored even by those who will not accept all aspects of Goodman and Elgin's approach. Essential for all undergraduate philosophy collections." --Stanley Bates, Choice
"Sometimes funny, always creepy, genuinely moving, this marvellous spine-chiller will appeal to readers from nine to ninety." - "Books for Keeps". "I was looking forward to "Coraline", and I wasn't disappointed. In fact, I was enthralled. This is a marvellously strange and scary book." - Philip Pullman, "Guardian". "If any writer can get the guys to read about the girls, it should be Neil Gaiman. His new novel "Coraline" is a dreamlike adventure. For all its gripping nightmare imagery, this is actually a conventional fairy story with a moral." - "Daily Telegraph". Stephen King once called Neil Gaiman 'a treasure-house of stories' and, in this wonderful novel, which has been likened to both "Alice in Wonderland" and the "Narnia Chronicles", we get to see Neil at his storytelling best.

Un personaje indeclinable de la comedia plautina es el esclavo; su contrapunto o cómplice, el parásito. La picaresca de los esclavos y el hambre de los parásitos acabarían siendo legado de pícaros y graciosos. Y así, algunas palabras del Gelásimo de " Estico " podrían haber sido recitadas en octosílabos por cualquier gracioso de la comedia áurea: " Mi padre me puso el nombre de Gelásimo, porque ya desde chiquitito era muy gracioso. Y fue la pobreza la culpable de que me pusieran este nombre, porque ella me obligó a ser gracioso [...] Me dijo mi padre que nací en época de carestía. Y creo que esta debe de ser la razón por la que paso un hambre tan atroz " . Plauto aprovecha estos y otros personajes para bordar sus burlas sobre la ropa femenina, las modas y las marcas; sobre los abogados, los banqueros y la usura, todo tan actual y tan moderno; pero también, entre burlas y entre veras, sutiles reflexiones sobre el amor, ese pequeño detalle. En el capítulo 146 de su legendaria " Leyenda áurea " , Santiago de la Vorágine recoge el testimonio contrito de san Jerónimo, según el cual " de día leía las obras de Cicerón y de noche las de Plauto " , y cuando comparaba su estilo " con el ramplón de los libros sagrados sentía una enorme decepción " . Ya Varrón elogiaba " el estilo y la gracia de su lengua " .Y es que los textos de Plauto son una fiesta del lenguaje, que solo a duras penas pueden sortear los escollos de la traducción desde " el obstinado mármol de esa lengua " a la que " manejamos hoy despedazada " , por decirlo al borgesiano modo. Con todo, hay momentos en que hasta despedazado refulge el brillo del mármol. El esclavo Sagaristión de " El persa " se burla así del lenón Dórdalo al decirle su nombre: [Me llamo] " Falsiloquidoro Vendedoncellónides Gastabromístides Sacatudinerónides Diceloquetemerécides Burlónides Embaucónides Loquetequítides Nuncalorrecuperarástides " .
