Abunä Estifanos (Stephen), the edition and translation of whose hagiographical life is presented here, was the leader of a monastic reform movement that shook the foundations of the Ethiopian State and Church in the fifteenth century. Estifanos (Stephen) started his movement at the end of the reign of the king whom Emperor Yeshaq succeeded in 1413 AD. The reform movement of Estifanos and his followers, called Däqiqä Estifanos or Estifanosites or Stephanites, was known to the local clergy from the time of the reign of Emperor Zär’a Ya’eqob (1434-1468). As we know from ZÃ

In recent years, the triumph of autonomy has made paternalist interventions increasingly problematic. The value of a patient’s right to self-determination and the practice of informed consent are considered supremely important in present-day health care ethics. In general, the idea of ’doctor knows best’ has become more and more suspicious. This has left us with a situation in which paternalist medicine seems difficult to reconcile with respect for patient autonomy. This book offers a thorough reflection on the relationship between autonomy and paternalism, and argues that, f

Mike Crawley’s Photographing the Nude is a thoroughly practical and inspiring guide for photographers of all levels. It begins by setting out a number of basic skills: nude photography shares many of the same technical problems as other areas of portraiture, and developing a sound understanding of the basics is the key to success. Mike demonstrates a wide range of classic lighting techniques, from soft diffuse lighting for a romantic mood to contrasty lighting to emphasize the contours and musculature of the body. Knowing what poses are good for figure work is also essential: specially c
