Dawkins: o dezamagire? - Nu!

Ultima coperta gata de tipar (de azi) imbraca o carte ce-ar vrea sa ii dea peste nas lui Dawkins. Sincer, nu cred ca imi plac subiectele de gen: sa contrazicem o contrazicere. Autorul, fost ateu (cica), face pe desteptul cand nu trebuie, ceea nu e nici macar amuzant. Anyhow, va recomand (totusi) cu caldura: Climbing Mount Improbable si Unweaving the Rainbow de R. Dawkins. Si credeti-ma, nu-i mare lucru de crezut ...out there.

Alister McGrath, Joanna Collicutt McGrath - "Dawkins: o amagire? Fundamentalismul ateu si negarea divinului" apare in curand la Curtea Veche in colectia Stiinta si Religie.

Ghost riding

Curierul a sunat (azi) la usa de acasa si negasind pe nimeni m-a urmarit pana la birou. Frumos din partea lui, mai ales ca mi-a lasat plocon o cutie de vreo 80 de cm inaltime plina cu goodies. De departe cel mai impresionant obiect din cutia cu jucarele este cel de mai sus, si anume: GHOST RIDER ON BUILDING STATUE BY GENTLE GIANT. Cu numarul 240 din 1000 de bucati lansate in lume, uriasa statueta merita tot efortul (caratului pana la etajul 2). Revin cu poze si pret la cerere... doar daca renuntati la contul de facebook si va propuneti sa fugiti din tara pana in 2012.


Right out of the feature film, this impressive 12 inches long by 14 inches tall piece showcases every detail of Ghost Rider’s powerful Hell Cycle as well showing off his fiery motorcycle moves! Sculpted by Gentle Giant and limited to 1000 pieces, this statue features a hand-numbered base with matching box and Certificate of Authenticity. A Diamond Select Release! A Gentle Giant Sculpt!

Terminatorial

Iata ca dupa luni de asteptare, precomanda Neca Terminator 2 Deluxe 12 Inch Figure Battle Damaged T-800 ...programata spre lansare in septembrie anul trecut (si reprogramata in februarie a.c.), s-a materializat ieri cu succes. Aflat deja in drum spre noua lui casa, T-800, damaged asa cum se poate observa (si nu din cauza transportului sau a Postei Romane), este o surpriza mai mult de placuta in aste vremuri de inundatie si ilegalizare a drogurilor legale. Ceea ce... iarasi este o surpriza placuta.

Name: Battle Damaged T-800
Manufacturer: NECA
Series: Terminator 2 12 Inch Figure
Details (Description): From James Cameron's 1991 motion picture Terminator 2 comes this 1/6-scale action figure featuring the authorized likeness of star Arnold Schwarzenegger. The T-800 (Final Battle) stands 12' tall, features a light-up cybernetic right eye, and comes complete with grenade launcher accessory.
