Catholic issues addresses topics which frequently trouble Catholics and non-Catholics alike. There will be a growing series of position papers dealing with widely misunderstood issues like the Galileo Affair, Pope Pius XII and the Jewish Holocaust, and the Church's postion on the scientific theory of evolution.
The purpose is to clarify and to state the case as concisely as possible. Catholic issues will also address issues of Catholic apologetics such as how to deal with the Protestant belief in sola scripture ("scripture only"). And it will feature topics that are crucial to the re-evangalization of all Christians, including many Catholics, such as Natural Family Planning.

The library, that is specialized in astronomy and astrophysics, was born at the beginning of the XVIII century together with the foundation of the Specola di Bologna by Eustachio Manfredi. Today it is a part of the Library System of the University of Bologna and is active in both of the main Italian online library catalogues,ACNP (for serials) and SBN (for books).
The library is mainly destinated to the bolognese astronomers and to the students of the local degree course in astronomy, but counts among its users also amateur astronomers, school teachers and other scholars, like for example physicists, historians and philosophers of science.
The students of the scientific Departments of the University of Bologna are welcome.
Digitisation of both printed books and graphic material is well under way. For technical and economic reasons, documents have been processed primarily in image mode to begin with. Most of the texts selected for digitisation are out-of-copyright material making up an encyclopaedic collection on the human and social sciences which includes original material, peer reviews, reference works and a collection of journals which are either major research references or difficult to find elsewhere. The 100000 digitised images are drawn from document collections held outside the Bibliothèque nationale de France and from patrimonial collections selected among its own departments. The digitised collections are distributed through the internal Bibliothèque nationale de France network, but once the various technical and legal problems involved in on-line communications have been resolved, all digitised documents will be available through the various "information highways".
In den Katalogen verzeichnet sind Bücher, Zeitschriften, Zeitungen und Medien.

This page has been designed for the purpose of organizing the resources on Chinese philosophy that can be found in the 'cyberspace'. It is my goal in setting up this page to attract more people, who are interested in searching for the answers of their life, not to limit themselves within the scope of traditional Western philosophies, but to open themselves to some alternatives offered by several schools of Chinese philosophy. But, since there're countless on-line materials on the Internet that're about Chinese philosophy, and some of which I am not aware of, I would greatly appreciate it if any of you can point them out to me. Also, all suggestions and comments are welcomed and greatly appreciated.
