Trends, Statements, Perspektiven - Trends, Statements, Perspectives When Thomas Merton died accidentally in Bangkok in 1968, the beloved Trappist monk's will specified that his personal diaries not be published for 25 years -- presumably because they contained his uncensored thoughts and feelings. Now, a quarter of a century has passed since Merton's death, and the journals are the last major piece of writing to appear by the 20th century's most important spiritual writer. The first of seven volumes, Run to the Mountain offers an intimate glimpse at the inner life of a young, pre-monastic Merton. Here readers will witness the insatiably curious graduate student in New York's Greenwich Village give way to the tentative spiritual seeker and brilliant writer. Merton playfully lists everything from his favorite lines of poetry and songs to the things he most loves and hates. Thomas Merton wa
Lars Saabye Christensen har skrevet en roman om skam og identitet, mørk og annerledes i forhold til hans tidligere bøker. Handlingen er lagt til 60-årene og gatene bak Slottet. Den navnløse fortelleren beretter om oppveksten sin fra han var tolv til sytten i et hjem hvor det koker over av forstillelser og hemmeligheter. Faren hans, en patentingeniør, tar livet av seg på første side, og etter dette legger moren seg til for godt på det innerste rommet i leiligheten. Fortelleren vokser opp med en tante som ikke nødvendigvis gjør livet særlig lettere. Han referer til seg selv som "min fars rareste patent" og man forstår etter hvert at han muligens er litt kjønnsforvirret.

Based on groundbreaking original research, The Why Axis is a colourful examination of why people do what they do – and how effective incentives can spur people to change their behaviour and achieve more. Uri Gneezy and John List are a little like the anthropologists who spend months in the field studying people in their native environments. But rather than acting as impartial observers, these two intrepid economists have set out to study the ways people act in order to try to solve major problems in society, such as the gap between rich and poor students and the violence plaguing inner city schools; the real reasons people discriminate; and the continuing pay disparity between men and women. Their field experiments in the factories, communities, and shops where real people live, work, and play show how incentives can change outcomes. Their results will change the way you think about and

Reflections on a New Life In NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE: Reflections on a New Life, Christopher Reeve, author of the bestselling autobiography STILL ME, challenges readers not to accept limitations - those set be oneself or by others - but to harness our untapped resources. Christopher Reeve has mastered the art of turning the impossible into the inevitable. In Nothing is Impossible he shows that we are all capable of overcoming seemingly insurmountable hardships. He interweaves anecdotes from his own life with speeches and interviews he's given and with evocative photographs taken by his son Matthew. Reeve teaches us that for able-bodied people, paralysis is a choice - a choice to live with self-doubt and a fear of taking risks - and that it is not an acceptable one. Christopher Reeve knows from experience that the work of conquering inner space is hard and that it inevitably requires some s
