Fascinado por ciência e tecnologia, Verne aproveitava as poucas horas de folga para estudar matérias relacionadas com esses assuntos, adquirindo conhecimentos que lhe permitiram misturar ficção e realidade, conceber máquinas impensáveis na época e descrever explorações que só ocorreriam muitos anos depois. '20.000 léguas submarinas' conta as aventuras do capitão Nemo. A bordo de seu fantástico submarino Nautilus, esse homem percorre o planeta atacando navios que o perseguem e, paradoxalmente, ajudando povos que lutam pela liberdade. Esta edição traz uma adaptação do romance de Júlio Verne, mantendo porém o fascínio do original. Diagramas, gravuras e fotos coloridas ilustram as informações complementares sobre oceanografia, submarinos e mergulhadores, proporcionando ao leitor um vasto panorama do maravilhoso mundo submerso e das máquinas utilizadas para estudá-lo.

What if all your favorite LOST authors and bloggers were gathered in one place, accessible anytime you wished, day or night? What would you talk about with them? What fascinating ideas would they bring for your consideration? What if you could talk with people who never left the Island, who never will leave the Island-whose job it is, in fact, to live, breathe, touch, and see LOST 24 hours a day, seven days a week? There are such people, and there is such a magical place, in a book: LOST Thought. This anthology presents the greatest collection of LOST expertise ever gathered in one book: Bloggers and Authors:Nikki Stafford (Finding Lost)Jo Garfein (Jopinionated)Pearson Moore (LOST Humanity)Sarah Clarke Stuart (Literary Lost)Sam McPherson (Lostpedia.com)Erika Olson (Long Live Locke)Ryan Ozawa (The Transmission)Andy Page (Dark UFO) Nationally Recognized Literary Scholars:Amy Bauer, Ph.D. (Professor of Music)Cynthia Burkhead, Ph.D. (Professor of English)Jeffrey Frame, Ph.D. (Professor of Theater and Film)Delano Freeberg, Ph.D. (Analytical Scientist)Julia Guernsey-Pitchford, Ph.D. (Professor of English)Michelle Lang, Ph.D. (Professor of Art)Antonio Savorelli, Ph.D. (Film and Literary Studies)Paul Wright, Ph.D. (Professor of English)Jamie R.

David Milles (Literary and Film Studies)Erin Carlyle (Women's Studies)Gozde Kilic (Cultural Studies)Kevin McGinnis (Religious Studies) The Island is the destiny of everyone onboard Flight 815. That is to say, the Island is our destiny. This is where we stand, where destiny bids us abide. We stand in the shadow of greatness. No one can ever own the Island. It is the Island that calls us, directs us, owns us. The Island compels us to reject the spiritual death of complacency, conformity, and mediocrity. There is nothing compromising or halfway in the Island's call to exploit every faculty of the mind so that we might ponder, create, and dream. Here then, in these pages, meditations and missives-dispatches and messages-from the object of our fascination: the Island.

"An insightful and often funny depiction of Italian Life" Hannah McIntyre, The Italian Insider Magazine --- In this, the second book in his Italian Trilogy, Paul relays more enthralling real-life stories about Italian village life. Though Lake Como has always had a reputation for exclusivity, it is now one of Italy's most expensive places to live. But alongside the high-fliers are the everyday people, rich, poor and all levels in between. In the sequel to the successful 'An Italian Home - Settling by Lake Como, ' expatriate artist Paul Wright, a resident of northern Italy for over 28 years pulls no punches to give us his take on his Italian neighbours, workmates and clients. From time to time, he touches base with a group of men, retired from the restaurant trade, who spend their days seated around the fountain in the piazza of his home village of Argegno, making their own running commentary on the world as it passes by. Paul also travels outside the village boundaries too, to the surrounding Italian countryside, the Italian Riviera and Switzerland to work for all manner of clients, ranging from the reputable to the decidedly risky. After selling some of his trademark watercolours to an American couple, he visits the USA to paint a mural in their home in Vermont and enjoys a break in New York City, where he explores the art world

40 Reflections On Scripture And Place

Heart of the Holy Land

"Paul Wright's tribute to the robust pleasures of village life brings out the generosity and humanity of the inhabitants of Lake Como" Desmond O'Grady, Italian Insider Review: --- Just what is it like for a foreigner to live and work in a northern Italian village, and become part of the community? How tough is it to leave your home country and settle in a new one? What do you have to do to be accepted by the people who live in a village that has existed for over five hundred years? Award-winning stage designer and artist Paul Wright and his wife found out the hard way, working, playing, laughing, eating and drinking alongside the residents of a beautiful lakeside village on the shores of Lake Como. Paul and his wife had had enough of Britain in the 1990s recession so they left for Italy - except that they had no work there and Paul could not speak a word of Italian! That didn't stop them diving head first into the life of their adopted village, Moltrasio. They soon found work; Paul as a mural painter and his wife in an office in Milan, Paul was recruited by the local football team and they both took part in the fabulous summer and Christmas festivals and the mangialonge - the 'long eats' where groups of locals drive off into the country to feast on the best local food and wines, all day. They gain a new neighbour, George Clooney, who gained great popularity amongst the locals, and they lose an older, very near neighbour, fashion designer Gianni Versace who was brought back to rest in his native Moltrasio after he was gunned down in Miami. Paul's dry sense of humour and artistic observation brings the lakeside village and its inhabitants to life, and he is guaranteed to make your mouth water with his wonderful descriptions of the local food.... AIH Book Review: ---Every year rafts of people make the decision to pack up their lives and swap afternoon tea for aperitivi. In this sincere and openly honest account of 'Settling by Lake Como, ' Paul relives the highs and lows of their Italian adventure: This compelling book by a talented story teller provides a personal insight in to the day-to-day life - and the struggles - of becoming expats. What develops is an intimate piece of prose, which envelopes the reader in all the frustrations, heartaches and joys of a couple trying to find their feet in Italy, from gaining social acceptance to experiencing the vibrant atmosphere of their first local festa. For anyone considering moving to or holidaying in Italy, this book makes an entertaining, warm and honest guide.

This is the third book in the Italian Trilogy...'Cats Do Eat Spaghetti' is very interesting and entertaining experience about living with rescue cats and Italian culture in general.....In this delightful book about adopting feral cats that through patience and hard work become domesticated the fourteen chapters will make your heart feel better for having read them: The early chapters are set in the north of England and then in the county of Surrey. They then move abroad, to a couple of beautiful medieval villages on the shores of Lake Como in northern Italy, to where Paul and his wife emigrated in 1991. 'Cats Do Eat Spaghetti' includes the last twenty seven years of their relationship whilst living alongside not only their adopted indoor cats but also with the local feral cats that will evoke pleasure, sadness, sentiment and affection within the heart of the committed cat lover. As the story progresses it includes their sometimes problematic Italian neighbours, who are certainly not cat lovers. Some of them do however love cats, but in a divergent and alarming way and that is to eat them during the winter months as a roasted accompaniment to piping-hot-polenta. The book also embraces their daily association with the little darlings. Paul and his wife are not just surrogate parents they have dedicated their lives to the happiness and contentment of their cats. As an example of their devotion they allowed themselves a holiday five years ago. It was the first one they'd had for twenty years. This wasn't because of any misfortune or lack of funds but because they don't like having to be away from their babies for too long in case they fret. They only took the risk of seeing other parts of their adopted country because they found a couple of baby-sitters they could trust and who were prepared to stay in their house to look after their cats as well as they try to do it..

Reading the land enables us to read the Bible with greater insight. Though the truths of the Bible transcend time and place, they are rooted in them. Geographical data inform our understanding of activity in the land of the Bible, while the Bible’s own description of these events, embedded deeply in the realia of the land itself, helps us better understand the living context in which these events took place. When we develop a skill set that allows us to read the land of the Bible as fluently as we might read the text, we stand not only to gain a better appreciation of the divine-human events of Scripture, we also gain an understanding of how these events become relevant to us in our own particular living contexts. Chapters include: Exploring the World of the Bible Building Blocks of Biblical Geography The Land of Ancient Israel: The Southern Regions (Judah/Judea) The Land of Ancient Israel: The Central Regions (Israel/Samaria) The Land of Ancient Israel: The Northern Regions (Galilee) Transjordan Afterword: Geography of the Heart Biblical geography has great apologetic value. The biblical writers had to be accurate when presenting geographical material. Unlike some matters of history and doctrine, their assertions about the realities of land forms and climate, or about the relation of one city to another, or about the use of strategic routes could easily be verified both by their first readers as well as by contemporary readers. Verifiable geographic information provides a solid foundation on which to place and evaluate the veracity of other truth claims in the biblical text.
