Sinopse

In the future, we'll all be having sex with robots… won't we?

Roboticists say they're a distracting science fiction, yet endless books, films and articles are written on the subject. Campaigns are even mounted against them. So why are sex robots such a hot topic?

Electric Dreams picks apart the forces that posit sex robots as either the solution to our problems or a real threat to human safety, and looks at what's being pushed aside for us to obsess about something that will never happen.

    The first Christians were weird. Just how weird is often lost on today's believers. 
     
     
     
    Within Roman society, the earliest Christians stood out for the oddness of their beliefs and practices. They believed unusual things, worshiped God in strange ways, and lived a unique lifestyle. They practiced a whole new way of thinking about and doing religion that would have been seen as bizarre and dangerous when compared to Roman religion and most other religions of the ancient world. 
     
     
     
    Award-winning author, blogger, speaker, and New Testament teacher Nijay Gupta traces the emerging Christian faith in its Roman context in this accessible and engaging book. Christianity would have been seen as radical in the Roman world, but some found this new religion attractive and compelling. The first Christians dared to be different, pushed the boundaries of what was acceptable, transformed how people thought about religion, and started a movement that grew like wildfire. This book shows how the example of the earliest Christians can offer today's believers encouragement and hope.

    Queens of the Age of Chivalry

    Medieval queens were seen as mere dynastic trophies, yet many of the Plantagenet queens of the High Middle Ages dramatically broke away from the restrictions imposed on their sex, as Alison Weir shows in this gripping group biography of England's fourteenth-century consorts. 
     
    Using personal letters and wonderfully vivid sources, Alison Weir evokes the lives of five remarkable queens: Marguerite of France, Isabella of France, Philippa of Hainault, Anne of Bohemia and Isabella of Valois. 
     
    The turbulent, brutal Age of Chivalry witnessed the Black Death, the Peasants' Revolt, the Hundred Years War against France and savage baronial wars against the monarchy in which these queens were passionately involved. Queens of the Age of Chivalry brilliantly recreates this truly dramatic period of history through the lives of five extraordinary women. 
     
    "Stunning... [Weir has] brought those five queens to life like never before. I just raced through it - it has all the drama and suspense of a novel." - Tracy Borman, praise for Queens of Crusades

    The Albigensian Crusade, which took place between 1209 and 1229, was a significant and brutal religious conflict that marked a turning point in medieval France. It was launched by the Catholic Church under Pope Innocent III to eradicate the Cathar heresy, a dualistic religious movement that flourished in the Languedoc region of southern France. The crusade is often remembered not only for its religious motivations but also for its political and social implications. This chapter aims to introduce the Albigensian Crusade, its causes, key players, and lasting consequences. 
    The roots of the Albigensian Crusade lay in the growing tensions between the Catholic Church and the Cathars. The Cathars, also known as Albigensians due to their strong presence in the town of Albi, held beliefs that starkly contrasted with orthodox Catholic teachings. They viewed the material world as evil, emphasizing a stark division between the spiritual and material realms. This dualism, along with their rejection of Catholic sacraments and clergy, was seen as a direct threat to the authority of the Church. Over time, the Cathar movement spread rapidly in southern France, a region that was politically independent and had a long history of resistance to royal and papal authority. 
    At the time, southern France was under the control of various noble families, the most powerful of which was the House of Toulouse. The Count of Toulouse, Raymond VI, was a key figure in the Albigensian Crusade, as he was accused of harboring and supporting the Cathars. While Raymond’s motivations were complex, his apparent reluctance to persecute the Cathars made him an easy target for the papacy, which saw him as an obstacle to its desire for religious unity and control over the region.
