Superbike


Book Description

Already the winner in 2010, Max Biaggi confirmed he was still at the top of the Superbike World Championship by winning the 2012 title in the saddle of an Aprilia. After taking his second world title, he announced his retirement from competition. So the 2013 Superbike World Championship opens without a reigning champion, but it is still packed with excitement. The Superbike World Championship story is once again told in the official, annual, reference book published by Giorgio Nada Editore on the world of bikes "derived from normal production", the machines that for many years have been the heart and soul of sports motorcycling, uniting competition with a high technological content. To illustrate the book there are the inevitable, spectacular pictures by Fabrizio Porrozzi, with the precise, accurate text by his brother Claudio.

Cambridge Yearbook of European Legal Studies, Vol 15 2012-2013


Book Description

The Cambridge Yearbook of European Legal Studies provides a forum for the scrutiny of significant issues in EU Law, the law of the European Convention on Human Rights, and Comparative Law with a 'European' dimension, and particularly those issues which have come to the fore during the year preceding publication. The contributions appearing in the collection are commissioned by the Centre for European Legal Studies (CELS) Cambridge, a research centre in the Law Faculty of the University of Cambridge specialising in European legal issues. The papers presented are at the cutting edge of the fields which they address, and reflect the views of recognised experts drawn from the University world, legal practice, and the institutions of both the EU and its Member States. Inclusion of the comparative dimension brings a fresh perspective to the study of European law, and highlights the effects of globalisation of the law more generally, and the resulting cross fertilisation of norms and ideas that has occurred among previously sovereign and separate legal orders. The Cambridge Yearbook of European Legal Studies is an invaluable resource for those wishing to keep pace with legal developments in the fast moving world of European integration.

2013 Oracle


Book Description

2013 Oracle looks beyond 2012 with a powerful divination system, including 34 beautiful laminated cards, a colorful printed cenote cloth to contain and focus the oracular energies, and an illustrated book to explain and interpret the guidance of the ancients. In beautiful artwork by visionary artist G. Borri and David Carson's prophetic interpretations, users will find answers to guide them through the uncertainties ahead. Like the Medicine Cards, 2013 Oracle is based on the spiritual wisdom of the Native American ancestors. David Carson introduced us to our power animals through that popular deck; we can now go deeper into the Native American mysteries with the 2013 Oracle. This set, including a beautiful book, deck and cloth, immerses the seeker in the rich lore of the Mayans and mound builders. We access the cosmology around which they built cities of gold where they practiced highly advanced technologies based on mathematical and scientific knowledge beyond that of the Europe of their day, knowledge we are only now beginning to comprehend. 2013 Oracle marries the sacred information these ancient ones inscribed for us with a divination system that is a mirror of our internal truth. The voice of the oracle speaks across the centuries to lead us through the contradictions of our times. A Progression of New Light The coming world will be as different from our current one as day is from night. Ancient American geometricians and metaphysicians left descriptions of these dimensional shifts to help future generations. These learned ones understood that the evolution of the human was incomplete and that our species faced great wars, natural catastrophes and other hardships before humanitydeveloped the consciousness to enter the New Creation. 2013 Oracle is the ancient map left by the ancestors to help us make a leap into infinite possibility. Their knowledge was sculpted into stone and clay and laid out in the design of the cities and calendars. It was hidden within ritual and sacrifice. Clarity Born From The Light Dimensions overlap, one with another, and exist within sacred time. Ancient peoples saw the patterning and ... understood the true measure of time more deeply than any modern culture. Time is a living entity. Waves of time have personality and possibility Over the centuries, the numerical values twenty and thirteen became highly important, a sacred series based on the subtle energies of the cosmos. The sequencing of twenty and thirteen, or 2013, is the first year of the spiritizing of matter and time. 2013 is the dawn of the New Humanity.
