How can one avoid divisions in the Church while attuning the mind and heart to unity in Christ? Grace is to be sought from God, not from men. Can Christ really be divided? If Christ cannot be divided, how can His Body - the Church - be divided? This book shows how quarrels are caused by vainglory, and points out the terrible consequences of man-worship in the Church fuels quarrels, and man-worship in the Church leads to terrible consequences.

In Perfect Day, Txema Salvans photographs Spain's holiday-makers in unexpected corners of the postindustrial landscape. Sunbathers congregate in car parks, swimming pools are nestled between encroaching buildings, and cranes and cooling towers loom over beaches. In these surreal, banal and humorous scenes, Salvans reveals how the pursuit of leisure persists in spite of the ominous pressures of the built environment, expressing a deeply human determination to adapt, and find repose, against the odds. Although many of these photographs were made near the sea, the sea itself remains invisible: a silent, implicit witness and a backcloth that has been inverted. Instead, we see - in a literal sense - what the images subjects want to turn their back on. Beneath the surface of these scrupulously composed tableaux are potent questions about class, national identity, and the politics of space: a depiction of simple pleasures advocating our rights to them.

L'Europe est-elle la mort, la sauvegarde ou le remplacement de l'Etat? Assiste t-on à l'émergence d'un super-Etat européen? Doit-on abandonner une fois pour toute notre vision du monde structurée par l'Etat-nation et ses chimères d'homogénéité culturelle, de souveraineté populaire et d'un centre politique agissant sur le réel? L'intégration européenne est-elle une révolution silencieuse et régénératrice ou le raidissement annonciateur d'un long déclin? Telles sont quelques-unes des questions qui traversent ce livre. Le lecteur est convié à suivre plusieurs trajectoires. Trajectoire chronologique du système politique européen tout au long de sa genèse, de l'Etat comme forme de domination à l'Union européenne d'aujourd'hui, et traversant les histoires nationales de part en part. Trajectoire conceptuelle du débat sur la nature de l'Europe politique, de "l'objet non identifié" à sa normalisation comme réalité ancrée dans la vie quotidienne des citoyens. Trajectoire pédagogique, du simple au complexe, du passé au présent, du national au supranational et au transnational tout en montrant comment ces niveaux s'interpénètrent désormais de manière inextricable. Cet ouvrage n'est pas un traité de recherche exposant l'exhaustivité d'une matière spécialisée. Ce n'est pas davantage un manuel présentant toutes les approches et les écoles. Il se veut un compagnon de route qui fait des choix, opte pour les raccourcis nécessaires ou allonge le chemin lorsqu'il faut avoir une vue d'ensemble. Il s'adresse à l'étudiant qui aborde les études européennes en voulant aller du général au particulier; au chercheur ou au praticien en quête d'une réflexion transversale sur les dimensions multiples de l'intégration européenne; au lecteur profane désireux de décrypter ce qui se fait à "Bruxelles" et, plus largement, les racines et des enjeux de la politique contemporaine.
