In a world ruled by magic, eighteen-year-old Katie is a princess who has none. Katie is so shy that her mother, the queen, mockingly calls her 'Mouse.' Her only real talent is getting around her mother's castle unnoticed. Alone and unloved, she befriends Alaric, the foreign mage-king who is her mother's enemy and prisoner. Cleaved from his magic, Alaric hopes to negotiate for his release and for a way to end the long, brutal war between the two kingdoms. Drawn to his vulnerability and his principled stand, Katie shares his desire for a just peace. Alaric negotiates a settlement with the queen that hinges on one condition: He must marry one of her daughters with magical abilities. Not the magicless Katie. The agreement is sworn on an oathstone-and to be forsworn is to die. When Alaric teases the tiniest bit of magic from Katie and announces that he will marry only her, the queen is livid. In mortal danger, Katie and Alaric flee for their lives. Click 'Look Inside' to see whether Katie's blossoming magical ability can bring an end to the war-or destroy Alaric and all she loves.

Las acciones tienen consecuencias, y la capacidad de aprender de ellas revolucionó la vida en la Tierra. Aunque es bastante evidente que las consecuencias son importantes (¿dónde estaríamos sin el reforzamiento positivo?), pocos saben que existe una ciencia de las consecuencias con principios que nos afectan cada día. A pesar de su variedad, las consecuencias parecen seguir un conjunto común de principios científicos y comparten algunos efectos comunes en el cerebro, por ejemplo, en los llamados "centros de placer". El sistema genética-ambiente siempre opera de forma integrada, y los científicos han demostrado que aprender de las consecuencias activa de manera predecible los genes y reestructura nuestro cerebro. Las aplicaciones posibles de esta ciencia de las consecuencias están en todas partes, en el hogar, en el trabajo y en el ámbito escolar, por mencionar algunos ejemplos. A nivel individual y social, por ejemplo, el autocontrol se enfrenta a menudo a las consecuencias a corto y largo plazo. Después de diez años de trabajo, "La Ciencia de las Consecuencias" narra una historia que abarca desde la genética hasta los neurotransmisores, desde la emoción hasta el lenguaje, desde la educación infantil hasta la política, adoptando un enfoque interdisciplinario inclusivo para mostrar cómo algo tan aparentemente simple puede ayudar a dar sentido a tantas cosas. Este título ha recibido numerosos elogios de expertos reconocidos en genética, neurociencia y economía, así como en psicología, análisis de conducta y entrenamiento animal en medios como Nature, The Scientist y Science News.

İslâmî gelenek, Allah'ın Âdem'e şöyle seslendiğini bildirir: "Ben rahmetimi kulum Havvâ'nın şahsında senin için topladım" ve "Ey Âdem, mümine bir kadından daha hayırlı bir rahmet olamaz." Tasavvufî bakış açısı bu sözleri şöyle yorumlar: Allah, rahmetiyle insanın nefsini var etmiştir. Eğer o nefis mutmain mertebesine ulaşıp mümin olursa beşeri insan makamına yükseltir ve Allah'ın ondaki tecellîsiyle mükâfatlandırır ki bu da en hayırlı rahmettir. Dolayısıyla tasavvufta dişi nefsi, erkek ise aklı temsil eder. Ve nefis, şikâyet edilmesi değil, bilakis şükredilmesi gereken bir tekâmül fırsatıdır. Aklın nefse, nefsin de akla ihtiyacı vardır. Bu gerçek, Kur'an'da şöyle bildirilir: "Siz kadınlarınız için bir elbisesiniz, kadınlarınız da sizin için bir elbisedir." Hz. Peygamber (s.a.s) "Kadın ve erkek birbirlerinin iki yarısıdır." derken Hucurât Sûresi'nde buyurulan "Ey insanlar! Şüphesiz sizi bir erkek ile bir dişiden yarattık." âyetinin yorumunu yapmıştır. Ve O'nun (s.a.s) "Kadınlar, akıl ve gönül sahibi erkeklere hükmederler." sözü de kadının Allah'ın zâtından bir nur olduğunu açıklamaktadır. Nihayet diyebiliriz ki: "Ey Allah'ın Cemâli olan kadın, sen ki Allah'ın Rahmet ve Rahîm tecellîlerinin kaynağısın. Eğer Yaradan, erkek ve kadın kutuplarda görünüp kendinden kendine âşık olmasaydı O'nu nasıl tanıyıp idrak edebilirdik." * * * Elinizdeki bu kitapta; Cemâlnur Sargut, Dr. Karim D. Crow, Dr. Anna Bigelow, Prof. Dr. Azîzan Baharuddin, Rabia Brodbeck Uzun, Prof. Dr. Suad el-Hakîm, Prof. Dr. Mehmet Demirci, Prof. Dr. Carl W. Ernst, Dr. F.

"A vivid and impassioned Vietnam War Biography Nobody's Children: recollections from the maintenance line Vietnam '67-'68 is the real war in Vietnam, told without histrionics or self-pity." - BookViral Reviews: Golden Quill Read We began as nobody's children. Shuffled from military confinement in Tennessee to the battlegrounds of southeast Asia, we were conscripted to defend democracy against imminent threats. Transitioning from a carefree frat party mindset to the harsh realities of war, diverse groups of young men faced conflict, displacement, and the constant specter of death while occasionally contending with destructive typhoons. Assigned to an Assault Helicopter Company, these valiant airborne cavalrymen persisted despite unequal measures of prosperity and hardship. Constrained in a foreign land, beguiled by illusions of vacation ambience, we braced ourselves for escalating assaults wrung from malignant odors, menacing rhinoceros beetles, errant rockets, aggressive monkeys, and waves of NVA and VC forces lurking beneath parachute flares. In this poignant account, we delve into the months leading up to and following the first Tet Offensive of Vietnam, offering profound insights into the fear and loss that defined our experiences. Early harbingers of rock-n-roll warfare, we navigated life-altering situations with bravado, confusion, and sorrow reminiscent of generations before us. Paradoxically, our generation sought solace in marijuana-induced relaxation and soaring guitar riffs, while simultaneously enduring perverse humor and belittling tragedies. Through unwavering determination and resilience, we proudly transformed ourselves into individuals worthy of recognition. But upon returning home, we were treated once again as nobody's children.
