Adrian IV The English Pope (1154–1159)

Studies and Texts

By: Brenda Bolton,Anne J. Duggan

The year 2000 witnessed the 900th anniversary of the birth of Adrian IV, the only Englishman to sit on the papal throne. His short pontificate of four and a half years, distracted by crisis and controversy and followed as it was by an 18-year schism, could be judged a low point in the history of the papacy. The studies in this book challenge the view that Adrian was little more than a cipher, the tool of powerful factions in the Curia. This is the first large-scale work on Adrian since 1925, and is supported by a substantial appendix of relevant sources and documents in facing translation. Relations with the Empire, the Norman kingdom and the Patrimony are all radically reassessed and the authenticity of 'Laudabiliter' reconsidered. At the same time, the spiritual, educational and devotional contexts in which he was operating are fully assessed; his activities in Catalonia and his legatine mission to Scandinavia are examined in the light of recent research, and his special relationship with St Albans is explored through his privileges to this great abbey. These studies by leading scholars in the field, together with the introductory chapter by Christopher Brooke, reveal an active and engaged pope, reacting creatively to the challenges and crises of the Church and the world.

Hawthorne

A Life

Hawthorne

A Life

By: Brenda Wineapple

Handsome, reserved, almost frighteningly aloof until he was approached, then playful, cordial, Nathaniel Hawthorne was as mercurial and double-edged as his writing. “Deep as Dante,” Herman Melville said. Hawthorne himself declared that he was not “one of those supremely hospitable people who serve up their own hearts, delicately fried, with brain sauce, as a tidbit” for the public. Yet those who knew him best often took the opposite position. “He always puts himself in his books,” said his sister-in-law Mary Mann, “he cannot help it.” His life, like his work, was extraordinary, a play of light and shadow. In this major new biography of Hawthorne, the first in more than a decade, Brenda Wineapple, acclaimed biographer of Janet Flanner and Gertrude and Leo Stein (“Luminous”–Richard Howard), brings him brilliantly alive: an exquisite writer who shoveled dung in an attempt to found a new utopia at Brook Farm and then excoriated the community (or his attraction to it) in caustic satire; the confidant of Franklin Pierce, fourteenth president of the United States and arguably one of its worst; friend to Emerson and Thoreau and Melville who, unlike them, made fun of Abraham Lincoln and who, also unlike them, wrote compellingly of women, deeply identifying with them–he was the first major American writer to create erotic female characters. Those vibrant, independent women continue to haunt the imagination, although Hawthorne often punishes, humiliates, or kills them, as if exorcising that which enthralls. Here is the man rooted in Salem, Massachusetts, of an old pre-Revolutionary family, reared partly in the wilds of western Maine, then schooled along with Longfellow at Bowdoin College. Here are his idyllic marriage to the youngest and prettiest of the Peabody sisters and his longtime friendships, including with Margaret Fuller, the notorious feminist writer and intellectual. Here too is Hawthorne at the end of his days, revered as a genius, but considered as well to be an embarrassing puzzle by the Boston intelligentsia, isolated by fiercely held political loyalties that placed him against the Civil War and the currents of his time. Brenda Wineapple navigates the high tides and chill undercurrents of Hawthorne’s fascinating life and work with clarity, nuance, and insight. The novels and tales, the incidental writings, travel notes and children’s books, letters and diaries reverberate in this biography, which both charts and protects the dark unknowable core that is quintessentially Hawthorne. In him, the quest of his generation for an authentically American voice bears disquieting fruit.

The Water-Energy-Food Nexus

Optimization Models for Decision Making

By: Brenda Cansino-Loeza,José Maria Ponce-Ortega

The Water-Energy-Food Nexus: Optimization Models for Decision Making covers the discussion about water, energy, and food as a crucial resource for human well-being and for sustainable development. These resources are inextricable interrelated, therefore, to cover water, energy, and food demands in different sectors and at different scales, it must be considered several sources to produce resources even conventional or unconventional, and there must be considered the interlinkages of resources for a proper integration.

Therefore, in The Water-Energy-Food Nexus: Optimization Models for Decision Making, mathematical models are presented for the design of water-energy-food nexus systems involving several strategies to account for issues like sustainable development, security of resources, interest in conflicts from stakeholders, and efficient allocation of resources. - Includes different optimization models for the integration of water-energy-food nexus - Considers sustainability criteria in the presented models - Helps readers understand different approaches for trade-off solutions - Presents general software that can be used in solving different problems

Spanish Is It Love Or Is It Addiction

Es Amor O Es Addicion

By: Brenda Schaeffer

Muchos de nosotros confundimos la infatuación y la obsesión con el amor verdadero. Las dos edicions previas de ¿Es amor o es adicción? han ayudado a mucha gente a encontrar el camino a partir de las tribulaciones y la confusión del amor adictivo hasta lograr relaciones enteras y sanas. Tal como la autora explica, podemos comenzar a trabajar a través de las relaciones dificiles con compasión y con efecto duradero incrementando el conocimiento de las formas de cómo expresamos el amor. En esta tercera edición ampliada, Brenda Schaeffer se inspira en años de retroalimentación y nuevos avances para promover una comprensión de la adicción al amor: qué es o no es, cómo identificarla, y, mucho más importante, como liberarse de ella. Los relatos de personas reales luchando para crear relaciones firmes ilustran las características de un amor sano y ayudan a los lectores a liberarse para encontrar una verdadera intimidad. Incluye información más actualizada sobre el fundamento biológico de las conductas adictivas y el efecto de la tecnología en las relaciones íntimas. La autora analiza además la influencia del abuso anterior y el trauma en la predisposición a la adicción a sentirse enamorado. Brenda Schaeffer, D.Min., M.A.L.P., C.A.S., es una licenciada en psicólogía y una especialista acreditada en adicciones, y con un doctorado en psicología espiritual. Brenda Schaeffer da conferencias y brinda capacitación a nivel internacional.

This is a story about a woman named Shannon who did not follow her instincts and found herself in a serious humiliating position. The signs were there but they were clouded because of her feelings for a man. Previously, she had overcame a weight issue, low self-esteem, and a bad relationship with a man who was not supportive, was unfaithful and could not be trusted; because of this relationship she secluded herself from dating until she met Benson. Benson, a handsome, alluring man who swept her off her feet with emotions and sensations she never experienced before. Her feelings were strong for him but she questioned her instincts. A man who literally made women weak just to be in his presence and made women second guess their instincts about him. The signs were there, but the desire to trust him made Shannon have self doubts about what she was seeing and how she should respond to this man. Find out what terrible situation Shannon found herself in..... **Sometimes not following your instincts can be like falling in a web and waiting on the spider.**
