Diana Phillips Livres

The narrative follows Diana Phillips as she reflects on her unique childhood as the daughter of Canadian folk hero Pan Phillips. Set against the backdrop of a remote pioneer ranch in British Columbia's interior, the story captures the challenges and adventures of growing up in a rugged environment, highlighting themes of resilience and the connection to nature. Through her memories, Diana shares insights into her family's legacy and the rich tapestry of rural life.

Pioneers Pan Phillips and his partner Rich Hobson carved their places in ranching history when they discovered "grass beyond the mountains" in the far reaches of the Chilcotin. Thanks to a series of hugely popular books, their exploits became the stuff of legend and Phillips became one of Canada's enduring folk heroes. But if a man had to be tough to survive some of the roughest living in creation, what did a young girl have to be? This is the story of Pan Phillips' daughter Diana, who learned to trap muskrat when she was little more than a toddler, worked with haying crews before she was into her teens and was renowned as the only person feisty enough to best her legendary father in a slanging match.

In part one Iris Murdoch's work is set against its contemporary background. Her concept of Man, as seen both in her fiction and in her philosophical work, is discussed with special attention being paid to the influence of Plato, J. P. Sartre, Simone Weil, Gabriel Marcel and the linguistic philosophers. Murdoch's views on the Good, and on Love, Death and Art, her main agencies of the Good, are then dealt with in greater detail. In part two five novels, which are representative of her literary output, are examined in greater depth.

Na světě není nic tak přitažlivého, jako malá kulička chlupů a dobré nálady, které se říká štěně čaua. Čau čau je neobyčejně vděčný a obdivuhodný společník, ale je to patrně nejsvéráznější plemeno ze všech. Přestože většině lidí připomíná živou hračku, musíte mít na paměti, že toto roztomilé stvoření hračka není, ale že je to živý tvor, který poroste, bude mít své nároky a také svébytnou, dosti zvláštní povahu.

Since the publication of the first edition of this dictionary (1979), the world of finance has undergone many profound changes. The compilers of this second edition have taken account of these developments by eliminating outdated entries, by including about 450 new ones and by updating and thoroughly revising all other entries. This dictionary thus fully reflects the terminology currently in use in the world of finance. It has easy multilingual cross-referencing via indexes, is user-friendly, and presents an exhaustive combination of a dictionary with a thesaurus. It is descriptive, rather than prescriptive, and thus records all the terms actually in use to express particular concepts, leaving the choice of the most appropriate equivalent, which obviously depends on the context, to the user.
