This work contains almost everything written by Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi, his inspired compositions, and a number of translations from ancient Advaitic texts, representing the essence of his teachings. They fall into two categories-those which exemplify the path of surrender through love and devotion to the Divine, and those which are more doctrinal. The first group included the Five Hymns to Sri Arunachala, of which the first poem, The Marital Garland of Letters, "is among the most profound and moving poems in any language" and expressses the attitude of the soul aspiring for union with God. Sri Bhagavan has affirmed that seekers who study these works are certain to attain the Bliss of Liberation. Product details Format Paperback ...

A doctor's life gets turned upside by a dangerous new technology in this thought-provoking medical thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Robin Cook. George Wilson, M.D., a radiology resident in Los Angeles, is about to enter a profession on the brink of an enormous paradigm shift, foreshadowing a vastly different role for doctors everywhere. The smartphone is poised to take on a new role in medicine, no longer as a mere medical app but rather as a fully customizable personal physician capable of diagnosing and treating even better than the real thing. It is called iDoc. George's initial collision with this incredible innovation is devastating.

Die Skulptur besaß bereits in der Antike einen vorrangigen Platz und gehört bis heute zu den interessantesten Gattungen der Kunst. Für den Betrachter war und ist gerade die viel ansichtige Darstellung reizvoll, die es ermöglicht, das Werk von allen Seiten zu betrachten. Die Einbeziehung der Dreidimensionalität führte insbesondere im Barock zu beeindruckenden Meisterwerken. War die Skulptur in der Romanik primär als Relief an tragenden Elementen sakraler Bauten zu sehen, so wird die Darstellung der menschlichen Gestalt in der Renaissance zum vorrangigen Motiv. Plastik entsteht nicht mehr rein für den sakralen Bereich und für Grabmäler, sondern es rücken vor allem Bildnisse realer Zeitgenossen in den Mittelpunkt - wie einige berühmte Reiterdenkmäler belegen. Die bildhauerischen Ausdrucksmöglichkeiten erlangen im Barock ihren Höhepunkt. Statuengruppen wie der "Raub der Proserpina" von Gianlorenzo Bernini mit ihren komplizierten Drehungen und kontrastreichen Licht- und Schattensp...
