The Vision of Don Roderick, the Field of Waterloo, and Other Poems (9780461483369)

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR (Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Aprender a comer solo : manual sobre el método "Baby led weaning" (9788416002788)

Si hay algo que les preocupa a los padres es su alimentación de sus hijos. ¿Necesitan los bebés de 6 meses que un adulto les dé de comer a la boca? ¿Y comer los alimentos triturados? ¿Se les debe dar a comer a demanda? Estas reflexiones son las que han conducido al estudio del enfoque de introducción de la alimentación complementaria conocido como Baby-Led Weaning o alimentación autorregulada o dirigida por el bebé, donde se promueve que desde el inicio de la incoporación de los alimentos, sea el propio bebé el que coma por sí solo la misma comida que el resto de la familia con pequeñas adaptaciones y sentado a la mesa como un miembro más. Este enfoque puede tener potenciales beneficios para el bebé y está siendo objeto de numerosos estudios, entre otros objetivos, como herramienta que ayude en la prevención de la obesidad. Este sistema de alimentación, que ya es muy popular en países como Reino Unido, está ganando adeptos por todo el mundo. Sin embargo, la mayoría de los profesionale...

The Devil and Philosophy : The Nature of His Game (9780812698541)

In The Devil and Philosophy, 34 philosophers explore questions about one of the most recognizable and influential characters (villains?) of all time. From Roman Polanski's The Ninth Gate to J. R. R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion to Bram Stoker's Dracula to Darth Vader to Al Pacino's iconic performance in The Devil's Advocate, this book demonstrates that a little devil goes a long way. From humorous appearances, as in Kevin Smith's film Dogma and Chuck Palahniuk's novels Damned and Doomed, to more villainous appearances, such as Gabriel Byrne's cold outing as Satan in End of Days, The Devil in Philosophy proves that the Devil comes in many forms. Are there any good arguments for the actual existence of the Devil? Does demonic evil thrive in Gotham City? Can humans really be accountable for all evil? Which truths about the Devil are actual facts? Is Milton correct, in that the Devil believes he is doing good? Through the lenses of Jung, Kant, Kundera, ...

Luke: An Expositional Commentary (9781642892819)

Can we know what Jesus was truly like during His time on earth? A first-century physician set out to gather eyewitness testimony of the life, teaching, and ministry of Jesus Christ. The result is a close-up account of a compassionate Savior on His journey to redeem His people. In this volume, Dr. R.C. Sproul traces the record of Jesus' life as told by Luke, the man considered by some to be one of the greatest historians of the ancient world. Dr. Sproul shows that this gospel is for believers and skeptics alike, written so "that you may have certainty" (Luke 1:4) about the Son of Man who came to seek and save the lost. Dr. Sproul's expositional commentaries help you understand key theological themes and apply them to all areas of your life. Drawn from decades of careful study and delivered from a pastor's heart, these sermons are readable, practical, and thoroughly Bible-centered. Here is your opportunity to learn from a trusted teacher and theologian as he leads...
