Prvá kniha zo série Charlieho mimoni – Góly, body, kamoši opisuje prvú súťažnú sezónu mladých futbalistov. Charlie miluje futbal. Nadšene ho sleduje, o futbalistoch a slávnych góloch vie absolútne všetko, je kapitánom miestneho tímu. Svojich kamošov prihlási do súťaže o svetový pohár. Má však jeden problém - musí dokázať, že si miesto v turnaji naozaj zaslúžia a keďže sa im veľmi nedarí, nie je to vôbec ľahké. Zápisky Charlieho tímu sú plné kresieb, futbalových pikošiek a záznamov zo zápasov plných vtipných katastrof a prekvapení. Zabavia každého – chlapcov aj dievčatá, tých, čo bez futbalu nevedia žiť, aj tých čo jeho čaru ešte nepodľahli.

This volume considers internal exile as a simultaneously twofold experience. It studies estrangement from one's society and, correlatively, from one's normative sense of self.

Charlie and his gang think they're heading for a week of football training but end up at a Survival Camp instead!

When Jake and Jess visit Robin in the Scottish countryside, they're surprised to see how well he has adapted to the wild. But when Grandma's plan to catch a gang of thieves backfires, will the robot's new skills save the day?

A groundbreaking and detailed presentation of the rich system of meditation traditions that have come to us through the Pali tradition of Buddhism. Meditations of the Pali Tradition, from consummate scholar of Pali Buddhism L. S. Cousins, explores the history of meditation practice in early or Pali Buddhism, which was established in various parts of South and Central Asia from the time of the Buddha and developed until at least the fourteenth century CE. Ranging in discussion of jhana (absorption) meditation in ancient India to the Buddhist practice centers of the Silk Road to the vipassana (insight) practices of our modern world, this rigorous and insightful work of scholarship sheds new light on our understanding of the practices that are today associated with the Theravada school of Buddhism and the insight meditation movement. Cousins demonstrates that there is much more to Buddhist meditation than mindfulness alone—concentration and joy, for example, are equally important.
