Praise for Aye, Robot>"With this book, Robert Kroese has planted his flag atop Sci-Fi Humor Mountain and dared everyone to knock him off. If this isn't the funniest book you read all year, there's something wrong." - Paul P. "I've never laughed so hard while reading a book." - Greg O. "Mr. Kroese is the Douglas Adams of our generation." - Ellen C. The Newest Name in Piracy Starts with Arrrrr>Aye, Robot is a sequel to Starship Grifters, but it's not like it's going to make any more sense if you read that book first, so you should probably just buy this book now while you're thinking about it.Praise for Starship Grifters "My favorite read this year. A hilarious space adventure. Hard book to put down." ―Hugh Howey, author of Wool "Starship Grifters... is not just the funniest SF novel I've read in decades, it may be the funniest I've read ever.... Funnier than Harry Harrison's Bill the Galactic Hero series, and [it] may even match Douglas Adam's Hitchhiker series."―Travis Corcoran, Prometheus Award-winning author of The Powers of the Earth "Starship Grifters is one of the funniest things I've ever experienced. It is certainly the funniest book I've read."―N.R. LaPoint, author of Chalk "Laugh-out loud funny. I loved every page of it. If you like sci-fi and laughter, this is the book for you!"―Rob Blackwell, author of The Forest of Forever "This is a funny, funny book. It is loveably absurd and ridiculously extravagant."―Benjamin Espen "Damn, I laughed.... This novel is funny, and should be approached only by those looking for a damn good reason to laugh."―John Daulton "Funny SF is tricky. Funny SF that holds up over an entire novel is a rarity. The writing in this book is sharp, tight, and clever. I laughed out loud enough to lose track of tally or occurrence. In a word, this novel is SMART."―SFFAudio.com "It's kind of like Foucault's Pendulum in space but without 500 pages of Italians discussing European history."―Castalia House "Kroese is the premier writer of humorous genre fiction in the indie sphere."―J. Manfred Weichsel, author of Five Maidens on the Pentagram

A collection of color photographs that show mobile people in static spaces (museums). The book contains more than 300 images of people and art intersecting formally and informally in museum spaces around the world. Many of the blurred images create impromptu relationships between the museum visitors and the art work. The title of the book acknowledges the single instance of the word in the first chapter of James Joyce's Finnegans Wake, and it is also a reference to Jennifer Bloomer's Assemblage 5 article "In the Museyroom"-a literary journey into John Soane's own house museum, referenced obliquely, like everything else in Joyce's work-that was published in 1988.

End Times Prophecy Expert, the late Dr. Grant Jeffrey says, "Aside from Russia, it would be difficult to name any other nation to the far north of Israel that is capable of leading a huge confederacy of nations from Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe and the Middle East against Israel. Furthermore, Russia is the arms supplier to every one of these nations.They all use Russian AK-47 rifles, T-72 tanks, missiles, and personnel carriers. For the last four decades Russia has trained the military officers and intelligence staff of all of the nations listed in Ezekiel's prophecy. The phrase 'Prepare yourself' and 'be a guard for them' may indicate Russia's future role in providing arms and military leadership to the huge confederacy of nations."After the invasion of Israel by Russia, (Russia - lose) according to the prophecy in the book of Daniel, there will be a time lapse of about three-and-half years, a time when the Jews rebuild the Temple (Revelation 11:1-2).

It seemed a little strange, that Detective Sergeant Kathleen Doyle wound up being the ranking officer on this particular homicide scene. It was true that DCI Acton was off somewhere, testifying, and DI Williams was chasing down witnesses on the latest Santeria murder, but Doyle couldn't shake the feeling that she was being manipulated, by one or both of them. But to what end? The unidentified victim was a wealthy man, who shouldn't have been mucking about in a Lambeth alley, in the first place. Who was he? And why were Acton and Williams staying well-away, with only Doyle left to sort it out? It was almost as though they didn't want the case to be resolved too quickly. . .

Il famoso mito della caverna di Platone ci insegna che la filosofia può trasformare la nostra vita ed elevarla. Può aiutarci a renderci conto della angusta "caverna" in cui siamo imprigionati e stimolarci e ispirarci ad uscirne per dirigere i nostri passi verso orizzonti più vasti. Questa è la prospettiva della Pratica Filosofica, un movimento internazionale di filosofi che credono che la filosofia possa incoraggiarci a vivere la vita con maggiore pienezza e profondità. Ran Lahav, uno dei principali teorici ad aver contribuito agli sviluppi in questo campo, presenta in questo libro il metodo che ha perfezionato nel corso di più di vent'anni. In questo libro discute i principi della Pratica Filosofica e spiega come possano essere applicati alla Consulenza Filosofica, ai gruppi di auto-riflessione, alla Compagnia Filosofica e alla propria ricerca individuale. Molti casi pratici illustrano il procedimento in modo agevolmente comprensibile. Si tratta di una vera e propria guida completa per filosofi, consulenti, psicologi e in genere per tutti coloro che intendono intraprendere un viaggio filosofico verso una vita più profonda.

InkStains is a random collection of stories - fiction and nonfiction of any genre - handwritten daily over the course of a year.When John Urbancik started this project, he aimed to write a story every day for a year. By hand. The stories in this second series were written in 2015 with various fountain pens in a selection of Leuchtturn1917 notepads.He took one mandatory day off monthly. Stories did not have to be fiction. Nonfiction, essays, reviews, memoirs - all genres - everything was open, so long as they were complete.These are the results: failures and successes both. Everything is included.He cleaned up grammar and spelling; he did my best to strengthen the writing where it was weak. The author is very happy with a lot of the stories, and disappointed with others, but some are fantastic. (I'm biased. You decide.)

La guía de estudio del alumno para el libro Andando en la Vida Nueva13 capítulos que describen las verdades bíblicas acerca de la vida nueva de un cristiano.Jesucristo, al responder a las preguntas espirituales de Nicodemo, explicó que sólo aquellos que han sido nacidos de nuevo, se les permitirá entrar en el reino de Dios (Juan 3:1-21). Entonces, Nicodemo respondió confundido: "¿Cómo puede un hombre nacer siendo viejo? ¿Puede acaso entrar por segunda vez en el vientre de su madre, y nacer? Respondió Jesús: De cierto, de cierto te digo, que el que no naciere de agua y del Espíritu, no puede entrar en el reino de Dios. Lo que es nacido de la carne, carne es; y lo que es nacido del Espíritu, espíritu es. No te maravilles de que te dije: Os es necesario nacer de nuevo" (Juan 3:4-7). Jesucristo le enseñaba a Nicodemo que cada individuo que entre al cielo debe tener dos cumpleaños: uno físico y uno espiritual. Primero tiene que nacer en una familia física y luego tiene que elegir personalmente nacer en la familia espiritual de Dios, creyendo en la muerte, entierro, y resurrección de Jesucristo como el único pago por sus pecados (Juan 1:12-13, Efesios 2:1-10). Aunque la vida física en esta tierra es temporal, Jesús le prometió a Nicodemo que la vida espiritual que Dios da es eterna. En Juan 3:16-18, Jesús dice "Porque de tal manera amó Dios al mundo, que ha dado a su Hijo unigénito, para que todo aquel que en él cree, no se pierda, mas tenga vida eterna. Porque no envió Dios a su Hijo al mundo para condenar al mundo, sino para que el mundo sea salvo por él. El que en él cree, no es condenado; pero el que no cree, ya ha sido condenado, porque no ha creído en el nombre del unigénito Hijo de Dios."Jesucristo fue enviado al mundo por Dios el Padre "a buscar y a salvar lo que se había perdido" (Lucas 19:10). Fue enviado para dar la vida espiritual a los que estaban "muertos en vuestros delitos y pecados" (Efesios 2:1). A través de Su obra terminada en la cruz, Él ha dado, "a todos los que le recibieron, a los que creen en su nombre, les dio potestad de ser hechos hijos de Dios" (Juan 1:12). Jesucristo vino a sacrificarse para que tú y yo "[tengamos] vida, y para que la [tengamos] en abundancia." (Juan 10:10). Y Dios ha prometido que "si alguno está en Cristo, nueva criatura es; las cosas viejas pasaron; he aquí todas son hechas nuevas" (II Corintios 5:17).Jesucristo no sólo ha proporcionado la oportunidad para que cada creyente tenga una nueva vida como uno de los hijos de Dios, sino que también ha dejado un "ejemplo, para que sigáis sus pisadas; el cual no hizo pecado, ni se halló engaño en su boca; quien cuando le maldecían, no respondía con maldición; cuando padecía, no amenazaba, sino encomendaba la causa al que juzga justamente" (I Pedro 2:21-23). I Juan 2:6 enseña que "El que dice que permanece en él, debe andar como él anduvo." Si un creyente verdaderamente depende en Jesucristo para su vida nueva, él debe desear vivir según el ejemplo que Jesucristo le proveyó. Debe decir como el Apóstol Pablo: "Vive Cristo en mí; y lo que ahora vivo en la carne, lo vivo en la fe del Hijo de Dios, el cual me amó y se entregó a sí mismo por mí" (Gálatas 2:20).El propósito de este estudio bíblico es estudiar las Escrituras para encontrar el verdadero significado de la "Vida Nueva" que se encuentra en Jesucristo y luego descubrir las grandes promesas que cada uno de los hijos de Dios puede disfrutar, así como las grandes responsabilidades que deben cumplir mientras caminan "en vida nueva" (Romanos 6:4).
