Др Зорана Јеленак, пореклом из Србије, већ шеснаест година као физичар прикупља податке, анализира урагане и лети овим јединственим авионима. Какав је посао ловаца на урагане, како јој је било у ураганима пете категорије и који су циљеви њихових мисија? Ово су само нека питања, која ће уз анегдоте са мисија, испричати причу о нашој храброј научници и њеном тиму.

Spasoje M. Neskovic

Spasoje M. Neskovic
Dr. Neskovic was born in Belgrade, Serbia, in a farmer's family, and he was supposed to continue farming the same way his father, grandfather and grandfather did. But, from may be age 3 he wanted to become a physician or maybe a Serbian priest, but that desire to become a physician was so strong that he never deviated from his original idea which became his lifelong passion and his calling. He remembers clearly when he put on that white coat as a medical student in Belgrade University in 1971, and he still has that real and a very distinct feeling which is hard to explain, and he has that feeling every single time when he puts on his white coat.

The Meaning of Reality

The Meaning of Reality

Essays on Existence and Communion, Eros and History

by Christos Yannaras

The collection of articles traces the thought of Christos Yanaras through his long journey in discovering the meaning of existence, communion, eros, and history. It is a cause of immense joy that no fewer than twenty articles of passionate significance and substance have at present been gathered together in this volume under the title The Meaning of Reality.

Yannaras is undoubtedly one of the most significant thinkers of our time. Kallistos Ware once described him as "the most creative and prophetic religious thinker at work in Greece today," while Rowan Williams characterizes him as "one of the most significant Christian philosophers in Europe." His very wide and no less deep education helps him to develop an inimitable blend of philosophy, theology, and social criticism, and to speak in an original way about the traditional and contemporary issues of human existence, as well as the latest challenges of modern empirical science and political engagement. A detailed knowledge of the writings of the Holy Fathers has always been his foundation amidst the labyrinth of modern thought - which is inimately bound up with psychoanalysis, environmental issues, human rights, postmodernism, and pluralism , to mention just a few. Insistence on the primacy, uniqueness, and eternal value of human personality prevails in almost all his works and inspires his own vigorous theological and ecumenical engagement, based on the Orthodox eucharistic and ascetic tradition.
