This book contains proceedings of the international conference Santini and Italy, held in Rome in June 2023. In his contribution, Augusto Roca de Amicis describes the nature of the structural relations of Santini's work to Italian architecture. Pavel Kalina discusses the development of Santini scholarship in the art historical literature of the 20th and early 21st centuries. Richard Biegel shows in his contribution that the sources of Santini's work can be found not only in Italian but also in French architecture. Michael Young's text points to the connection between Santini's architecture and contemporary literary theory and practice, which blended different languages and styles. In his article, Ulrich Fürst stresses the importance of a sense of originality for the design of the Benedictine monastery church at Rajhrad, whose construction demonstrated its independence from the monastery of Břevnov, for which the Dientzenhofers worked. Johana Bronková explores the relationship between Santini's architecture and the work of the great Italian architect Francesco Borromini. Marisa Tabarrini presents a completely new discovery - the unknown plans of Santini's church of St. Peter and Paul in Prague's Zderaz. Important for understanding the functioning of Baroque buildings is the article by Jakub Řehak, who analyses the water and ventilation system of the monastery in Plasy. On the other hand, Madleine Riedenklau's text is devoted to the literature on the monastery and church in Sedlec. Irena Bukačová introduces the reader to the past and present of the pilgrimage site in Mariánská Týnice.

No woman was going to spring her mantrap on Sergeant Nick Paretti! And that included Gina Santini. They’d agreed to publicly play boyfriend/girlfriend, and Nick had never intended to keep up the pretense in Gina’s bedroom. But her luscious mouth left him poised before a pleasure-precipice he couldn’t resist. So he dived in—and took Gina’s virginity with him. The beautiful temptress claimed she was after experience—not marriage—but her heart obviously disagreed. Meanwhile, something told Nick the guards at his heart had thrown down all their weapons and surrendered….

“Conroy takes aim at our darkest emotions, lets the arrow fly and hits a bull’s-eye almost every time.” —Milwaukee Journal Sentinel This is the story of Bull Meecham, the epitome of the Marine officer. Demanding, authoritarian, as tough a disciplinarian at home as at the base, Bull is a difficult man to please, and even harder to love. This is also the story of Ben Meecham, Bull’s oldest son. A gifted athlete whose best never satisfies his father, Ben must balance his own ambition with his father’s expectations – and decide what course he will chart for himself and what kind of man he will become. Piercing, bittersweet, and unforgettable, The Great Santini is Pat Conroy’s semi-autobiographical lens into fathers and sons, and the powerful legacy one man can leave behind. “Robust and vivid…full of feeling.” – Newsday “Few novelists write as well, and none as beautifully.” – Lexington Herald Leader

Neither Spem in alium, the widely acclaimed ‘songe of fortie partes’ by Thomas Tallis, nor Alessandro Striggio’s forty-part Mass is the largest-scale counterpoint work in Western music. The actual winner is Gregorio Ballabene, a relatively unknown Roman maestro di cappella, a contemporary of Giovanni Paisiello, Joseph Haydn and Luigi Boccherini, who composed in forty-eight parts for twelve choirs. His Mass saw only a public rehearsal and was never performed liturgically despite all of Ballabene’s efforts to promote it. On closer inspection, however, the work deserves special consideration as a piece of outstanding combinatory creativity – the product of a talent able to conceive, structure and realise a project of colossal dimensions. It might even be claimed that if Charles Burney had gained knowledge of it, all derogatory comments by nineteenth-century music historians would not have succeeded in extinguishing the interest of later generations. Ballabene’s Mass has remained completely unstudied until today, even though the score survives in prominent collections. This study offers, for the first time, a historical and analytical perspective on this overlooked manifestation of a very individual musical intelligence.

Despite our many abilities, human beings have yet to harness absolute answers to the mysteries of our very existence. Over the centuries, many great thinkers have tried to make sense of it all, through the use of science, philosophy, and religion, but the big answers remain elusive. All human knowledge, at its core, is a fiction. A personal guide to freedom and spiritual awakening, Beyond the Moral Matrix explores philosophy of the mind, philosophy of science, and the philosophy of morality through an in-depth analysis of the structure of self and self-consciousness. It exposes the inadequacy of traditional organized religions, including Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. The masses have been subjugated and exploited by religious morality that inflicts the social values of the elite classes upon followers, which has resulted in the present geopolitical and economic conflicts in the world. Extremism is to be blamed on the use of thought control by the clergy and its emissaries; this type of control is based on a false image of God and His will. We have taken all that we claim is good, put it up on a pedestal, and called it Godthe cause of much suffering in our past and present world. Heaven and hell are not real places; they were invented by the clergy to control the masses through fear. We are a universal brotherhood who are part of and belong absolutely to God; past, present, and future, all is God and God is all.
