Embarking on the dating scene can be a fun though sometimes daunting prospect for any single woman. But for the more than 10 million single women in the U.S. with children at home, dating is a much more complicated matter. Whether uncoupled through divorce or death, single moms face a wide range of questions: When will I be ready to date and how do I start? When-and what-should I tell the kids? What happens if I love the guy and the kids hate him?

महाकवि भास संस्कृत साहित्य के मूर्धन्य कवि हैं। उन्होंने अपने जिन तेरह नाटकों से संस्कृत साहित्य को समृद्ध किया उनमें स्वप्नवासवदत्ता और प्रतिज्ञायौगन्धरायण विशेष लोकप्रिय हैं। नाटकों की भाषा बहुत ही सरस और बोध्गम्य है। अभिनय की दृष्टि से भी भास के नाटक सर्वथा उपयुक्त हैं।

Streghe che cavalcano lupi e iene, cortei notturni di morti senza riposo, uomini trasformati in animali, formule magiche in grado di controllare spiriti e divinità: ogni popolo e ogni cultura del mondo, dall'alba dei tempi fino a oggi, ha creduto nell'esistenza di individui capaci di nuocere agli altri attraverso poteri magici; personaggi che incutono paura o provocano repulsione, dai quali è necessario difendersi, le cui caratteristiche vanno a formare la sfaccettata figura della strega.

Les symboles ont un usage bien plus quotidien qu'on ne l'imagine. Comme le disait Aristote, "le mot chien ne mord pas", il est le symbole par lequel nous pouvons désigner la réalité du chien. Le rôle du symbolisme consiste donc à exprimer n'importe quelle idée d'une façon qui soit accessible à tout le monde. Cet ouvrage se propose d'analyser les mutations des signes depuis leur apparition jusqu'à leur lointaine métamorphose, notamment dans le domaine des mythes, et d'étudier ce qui se dresse entre la chose et l'idée : le symbole.

Hace miles de años, en la Antigüedad, las ayas griegas contaban a los niños historias a las que llamaban mythoi, que no se diferenciaban en esencia de las narraciones que solemos calificar como cuento y que tratan sobre sucesos extraordinarios, ya sean reales o inventados. Los mythoi tenían como protagonistas a seres divinos o semidivinos objeto de culto entre el pueblo griego. También tenían como protagonistas a héroes que podían contar con el favor, o disfavor, de esos dioses. Hoy día esas viejas historias han quedado sepultadas bajo capas de olvido.

Il Giappone è il paese degli opposti: tradizione e modernità, spiritualità e tecnologia convivono fianco a fianco dando origine a una speciale alchimia. Il fascino che il paese del Sol levante esercita sui visitatori è quello di un luogo privo di una specifica collocazione, situato in un tempo e in uno spazio quasi magici, slegati da tutto il resto del mondo. Gli scenari del Giappone appaiono come livelli di un videogioco: gli enormi schermi e i vestiti gotici delle ragazze; le torri futuristiche e i bar con karaoke; i boschetti di bamboo e le cime ghiacciate.

Arm yourself with garlic, stake and crucifix, for the vampires are back in force - at the top of the best seller lists, on your TV, on the web and lurking in darkened cinemas. But where did they come from? Why have they come back now? And how can you tell if you are one? Beginning with the first sightings of bats and blood-sucking in the Romantic period, Bite follows the undead's progress through the ages, right up to the present.

Se l'Italia è una Repubblica fondata sulla bellezza, come è stato recentemente proposto in Parlamento, non c'è dubbio che l'abitudine al bello - e a un patrimonio artistico e culturale che non ha eguali nel mondo - sia il vero elemento unificante degli italiani, e come tale si rifletta nel testo della Costituzione promulgata nel 1948. Michele Ainis e Vittorio Sgarbi compongono un inedito commento letterario e illustrato alla nostra Costituzione in sedici capitoli, uno per ciascuno dei dodici princìpi fondamentali e dei quattro titoli in cui s'articola la prima parte della Carta.

Breve Historia de la Mitología Griega nos ofrece un panorama completísimo de las deidades del mundo clásico. Fernando López Trujillo no se detiene en una enumeración de los Dioses Olímpicos y sus atributos, sino que primero nos hace ver la importancia rectora de la mitología en el mundo antiguo, para mostrar a continuación las apasionantes historias que pueblan esta mitología.

Mythology is not about the past. The past is what’s behind us and that’s not where mythology really exists. The big daddy of mythology hails from ancient Greece - and whether we realize it or not, Greek mythology influences the western world of today. The Greeks were not a boring bunch, and their mythology was no different! Greek Mythology: Timeless Tales from the Ancients is a smart, fun, compulsively listenable overview of the Greek's favorite characters and tales. These myths are filled with sex, violence, drama, lies, monsters, hubris, journeys, and just about anything else you can think of!

Roberts writes stories from a wide variety of locations: "Night of the Hunt" in Hendersonville, North Carolina; "Return of the Bell Witch" in Adams, Tennessee; "The Shenandoah Stage" in New Market, Virginia; "Chain Gang Man" in Decatur, Alabama; "Fort Mountain" in Fort Mountain, Georgia; "Laura" in Campbellsville, Kentucky; and "The Coming of the Demon" in Middleway, West Virginia.

To her group of classic stories, Mrs. Roberts has added three new tales about the Carolina coastal areas. The mountains, Piedmont, Eastern Carolina, and the Outer Banks all provide settings for the unique and haunting accounts found in this book. Six of the stories take place in the Outer Banks - a particularly inspiring location and the perfect place to meet the ghost on Blackbeard's last voyage.

The United States is a nation that touts its diversity, but there is one tradition that all Americans love to share. Every year on the Fourth of July, Americans celebrate the founding of the nation. Independence Day is the greatest of national traditions, but much of the inherited lore that surrounds the Fourth is myth and legend, not history.

Contrary to popular belief, the roots of American country music do not lie solely on southern farms or in mountain hollows. Rather, much of this music recorded before World War II emerged from the bustling cities and towns of the Piedmont South. No group contributed more to the commercialization of early country music than southern factory workers.

Noah and the ark makes it on everyone’s list of top-10 favorite Bible stories - right up there with Jonah and the whale, and David and Goliath. No biblical account has raised as many questions and has generated as much controversy as Noah and the ark. The story in the Bible is just the beginning! Was the massive ark seaworthy?

Best-selling author Frank Delaney deconstructs the Vampire myth through the ages, and shows us how Stoker’s 1897 novel, one of the most widely read books of all time, heightened the allure of sex, the glamour of blood, and the defeat of death in a way that continues to pulse - and faster than ever - on the page and on the screen.
