На каву до Львова

Marc Levy

A mysterious object found in a dormant volcano will forever change the lives of Adrian and Keira. Together they embark on an extraordinary adventure which takes them from the banks of Lake Turkana in the heart of Africa to the mountains of China. They seek to reveal the object's hidden secrets and answer the age-old question: how did life begin?,Keira is a passionate and ambitious archaeologist leading her first dig in the isolated Omo Valley in Ethiopia. When a sand storm destroys the site, she has no choice but to abandon her field work and go home: to Paris, to her sister and to the mundane city life she despises. She returns with an unusual stone, which was given to her by a local orphan boy. While visiting the museum where her sister works, a probing elderly professor takes a particular interest in Keira and above all in the talisman she wears around her neck. ,Adrian is an accomplished astrophysicist, who has taken a leave of absence from the illustrious Academy of Sciences in London to pursue his study of the stars in a remote observatory on the Atacama plateau in Chile. Ill-adapted to the altitude, he has to be rushed back to England before he can fully pursue his bold and unconventional research. ,Keira and Adrian's paths briefly cross while competing for an illustrious grant in London. Years earlier they had spent one brief, romantic summer together before going their separate ways. Keira leaves her necklace behind in Adrian's apartment, sparking his interest as a scientist and fuelling his hopes for a rekindling of old passions. With the help of a hapless administrator from the Academy, Adrian begins his own investigation of the stone's origins, but it quickly becomes apparent that he is not the only one interested in the mysterious object, and that the other party is determined to get hold of it at any cost. ,Adrian seeks out Keira who has returned to Africa. What innocently begins as a common pursuit of knowledge soon takes a dangerous turn when their guide is found dead. Despite heightening threats to their own safety, Keira and Adrian continue their search, which takes them across the world, from cutting edge laboratories to venerable museums, from forgotten Greek islands to monasteries hidden in the mountains. They follow maps written in the stars and clues buried within the earth, always guided by the slowly unraveling secrets of the strange object from Ethiopia. But the professor and his cohorts are always on their tracks and one step ahead... , ,"A wonderful read" - Le Parisien ,"Over the years, Marc Levy has seduced millions of readers. What's his secret? He writes about quintessential themes, such as love, friendship, and the mysteries of life, in an accessible way." - Paris Match "A page-turning adventure story." - Nice Matin

Depois de treze anos de vida desregrada no Québec, Hugo, um contrabaixista de jazz, decide tirar um «ano sabático» e regressar a Lisboa, onde espera reencontrar o equilíbrio junto da família. Porém, logo numa das primeiras noites, assiste ao concerto de Luís Stockman - um pianista que se tornou recentemente famoso -, e a almejada paz transforma-se no pior dos pesadelos: Stockman toca um tema inédito que Hugo conhece bem demais, pois é o mesmo que vem escrevendo há anos na sua cabeça... Quando o começam a confundir na rua com o pianista - e a própria mãe lança a dúvida sobre a sua identidade -, Hugo encetará uma busca obsessiva da verdade e do seu duplo, entrando num labirinto de memórias e contradições que o conduzirá a um destino muito mais funesto do que imaginara ao deixar Montreal.,É nessa mesma cidade que Stockman desaparecerá, curiosamente, mais tarde, segundo nos conta o seu melhor amigo - o narrador deste romance - a quem cabe agora desmontar os acontecimentos, destrinçar fantasia e realidade e enfrentar as assustadoras e macabras coincidências que unem, como num espelho, a vida dos dois músicos.,«O Ano Sabático», construído em crescendo e com páginas de tirar literalmente o fôlego, é um magnífico romance sobre a identidade e o outro, mas também sobre o amor fraternal e a amizade que perdura mesmo quando tudo o resto parece ter ruído.

Murasaki Shikibu,Martti Turunen,Kai Nieminen

Genjin tarina 1: Kirsikankukkajuhla,Genjin tarina, on maailman ensimmäinen suurromaani ja yhä Japanin kirjallisuuden arvostetuin teos. Se syntyi lähes tahattomasti: noin tuhat vuotta sitten Heian-kauden (794–1185) Kiotossa, jossa keisarinnan kamarirouva Murasaki kirjoitteli kertomuksia, lähinnä toisten hovinaisten ratoksi. Keskushenkilönä kertomuksissa oli kuviteltu sankari ”sädehtivä Genji”, mutta itse tarinan Murasaki sijoitti tuntemaansa 1000-luvun Kiotoon, ylimystön ja hovin maailmaan. Syntyi jotakin uutta: kuvitteellista kirjallisuutta, kertomakirjallisuutta. Ja kamarirouva itse sijoittui maailmankirjallisuuteen yhtenä sen huomattavimmista naiskirjailijoista.,Genjin tarinalle, on esitetty aikojen kuluessa hyvin erilaisia tulkintoja. Genji on keisarin ja sivuvaimon poika, loistavan kaunis, loistavan lahjakas. Silti hänkin kärsii rakkauden tähden. Hän lohduttautuu lukemattomilla rakkausseikkailuilla, jotka toisinaan tuottavat hänelle suuren ilon, toisinaan johtavat hänet tukaliin tilanteisiin, ovat saattaa hänet tuhoonkin. ,Genjin tarinan, alkuperäinen käsikirjoitus on kadonnut; luotettavimmat kopiot ovat 1200-luvulta ja niihin perustuu nyt ilmestyvä suomennoskin. Nykyisessä kokoonpanossa ,Genjin tarina, käsittää kaikkiaan 54 lukua, joista yhdeksän ensimmäistä sisältyy tähän kirjaan.

Gian Carlo Ghirardi

Quantum mechanics, which describes the behavior of subatomic particles, seems to challenge common sense. Waves behave like particles; particles behave like waves. You can tell where a particle is, but not how fast it is moving--or vice versa. An electron faced with two tiny holes will travel through both at the same time, rather than one or the other. And then there is the enigma of creation ex nihilo, in which small particles appear with their so-called antiparticles, only to disappear the next instant in a tiny puff of energy. Since its inception, physicists and philosophers have struggled to work out the meaning of quantum mechanics. Some, like Niels Bohr, have responded to quantum mechanics' mysteries by replacing notions of position and velocity with probabilities. Others, like Einstein and Penrose, have disagreed and think that the entire puzzle reflects not a fundamental principle of nature but our own ignorance of basic scientific processes., ,Sneaking a Look at God's Cards, offers the general reader a deep and real understanding of the problems inherent to the interpretation of quantum mechanics, from its inception to the present. The book presents a balanced overview of current debates and explores how the theory of quantum mechanics plays itself out in the real world. Written from the perspective of a leading European physicist, it looks extensively at ideas from both sides of the Atlantic and also considers what philosophers have contributed to the scientific discussion of this field. ,Sneaking a Look at God's Cards, sets out what we know about the endlessly fascinating quantum world, how we came to this understanding, where we disagree, and where we are heading in our quest to comprehend the seemingly incomprehensible.

Lewis DeSoto

The journey of a man who loses everything in one terrible moment,Leo Millar is a young painter in Paris who seems to have it all—a beautiful French wife, a talented young son, a thriving career. And then in one terrible moment he loses everything. Overcome by guilt and despair, he flees to an island off the coast of Normandy, thinking that his life is over. Soon the island begins to work its magic when Leo encounters a brilliant but troubled musician who is fighting her own demons. But it is only when a strange, damaged child enters Leo’s life that he has a chance to move beyond his own losses and find, perhaps, a new definition of love and the restoration of hope.,This luminous novel from the acclaimed author of A Blade of Grass explores the intersection of creativity and love and the ways in which the past is woven into the present. DeSoto’s marvellous painterly eye, his affinity for the natural world and his deep insight into human nature—in particular, the act of artistic creation—have produced an unforgettable work of fiction set in a landscape that is the stuff of dreams.

C.G. Jung,Karl Kerényi

Essays on a Science of Mythology, is a cooperative work between C. Kerenyi, who has been called "the most psychological of mythologists," and C. G. Jung, who has been called "the most mythological of psychologists." Kerenyi contributes an essay on the Divine Child and one on the ,Kore, (the Maiden), together with a substantial introduction and conclusion. Jung contributes a psychological commentary on each essay. Both men hoped, through their collaboration, to elevate the study of mythology to the status of a science.,In "The Primordial Child in Primordial Times" Kerenyi treats the child-God as an enduring and significant figure in Greek, Norse, Finnish, Etruscan, and Judeo-Christian mythology. He discusses the ,Kore, as Athena, Artemis, Hecate, and Demeter-Persephone, the mother-daughter of the Eleusinian mysteries. Jung speaks of the Divine Child and the Maiden as living psychological realities that provide continuing meaning in people's lives.,The investigations of C. Kerenyi are continued in a later study, ,Eleusis: Archetypal Image of Mother and Daughter, (Princeton).

I’m the one buried in a grave.,My name is Christy Snow. I’m seventeen.

D. Bruce Dickson

Hunter-gatherers, of the Upper Paleolithic period of the late Pleistocene epoch in western Europe left a legacy of cave paintings and material remains that have long fascinated modern man. This book draws on theories derived from cultural anthropology and cognitive archaeology to propose a reconstruction of the religious life of those people based on the patterning and provenience of their artifacts., Based on the premises that all members of Homo sapiens sapiens share basically similar psychological processes and capabilities and that human culture is patterned, the author uses ethnographic analogy, inference from material patterns, and formal analysis to find in prehistoric imagery clues to the cosmology that lay behind them. The resulting book is an intriguing speculation on the nature of paleolithic religion, offering scholars a valuable synthesis of anthropological, archaeological, and sociological research, and general readers an accessible account of how our forebears may have regarded the unknown.,

Angered by the requirement, Riley seeks a means of bypassing his father's stipulation. Blackmailing Jack Campbell into marrying him "for love" suits Riley's purpose. There is no mention in his father's documents that the marriage had to be with a woman and Jack Campbell is the son of Riley Senior's arch rival.

Riley hadn't counted on the fact that Jack Campbell, quiet and unassuming rancher, is a force of nature in his own right. ,This is a story of murder, deceit, the struggle for power, lust and love, the sprawling life of a rancher and the whirlwind existence of a playboy. But under and through it all, as Riley learns over the months, this is a tale about family and everything that that word means.

« Mohamed Leftah a signé avec Demoiselles de Numidie, un roman qui mérite d’être qualifié de chef-d’œuvre. Si l’on dit que ce livre est écrit dans une langue splendide, on n’en fait pas suffisamment mesurer l’originalité, la nécessité, la justesse constante. C’est à une sorte d’enchantement pourrissant que nous convie Mohamed Leftah. Il raconte un bordel à Casablanca avec un élan de styliste qui fait songer à Apollinaire, ou à Pierre Louÿs. Tout l’ouvrage appelle constamment à des comparaisons qui feraient rougir l’auteur, lequel rougirait donc au Caire où il vit actuellement, mais on ne connaît pas d’autre écrivain marocain de langue française qui ait fait preuve d’une originalité aussi fulgurante, aussi corrosive, mêlant la tendresse la plus épanouie à la description la plus choquante, la plus vraie des sévices sacrificiels imposés par le monde prostitutionnel. » ,Salim Jay, Dictionnaire des écrivains marocains.

Mohamed Benchicou

Comment ne pas penser à L'Automne du patriarche de Garcia Marquez, où est décrit te monde de la dictature à la sud-américaine ? Cupidité, soif maladive du pouvoir, abus sexuels, telles sont les caractéristiques du pouvoir des tyrans. Mais dans ce document, nous sommes bien loin de la cocasserie et de la jubilation du roman colombien. Peut-être qu'à l'avenir, ce livre prendra une dimension burlesque s'agissant des aventures de « L'enfant adultérin d'un système grabataire et d'une démocratie violée ». Pour l'heure, il a des résonances tragiques,'car il s'agit de l'avenir et de la dignité nationale de l'Algérie. Plus qu'une charge contre Abdelaziz Bouteflika, L'auteur établit une chronique du temps perdu dans la recherche d'un destin national digne des innombrables sacrifices du pays.,Il dénonce avec force autant l'arlequin transformé en héros que le système, porté par des parrains aux biographies falsifiées, qui l'a mis sur scène.,Ce livre a le courage du combat mené à visage découvert. Mohamed Benchicou ne s'attaque pas à un prince déchu. Il brandit la braise de son indignation morale et de sa colère de citoyen à la face du « maître » de l'heure, tandis que ce dernier se réclame de l'amitié des puissants de ce monde, de la légitimité d'un scrutin tronqué, use de la puissance persuasive des milliards d'une cagnotte nationale détournée et de la force dissuasive d'une justice réduite au triste rôle de geôlier auxiliaire. Oui, ce livre est véhément et sans concessions ! Mais il est surtout précis et documenté. Il repose sur des écrits, des témoignages et des documents indiscutables car authentiques.

In 2007, the Center for Automation in Nanobiotech (CAN) outlined the hardware and software platform that would one day allow robots smaller than human cells to make medical diagnoses, conduct repairs, and even self-propagate. In the same year, the CBS network re-aired a program about the effects of propranolol on sufferers of extreme trauma. A simple pill, it had been discovered, could wipe out the memory of any traumatic event. At almost the same moment in humanity’s broad history, mankind had discovered the means for bringing about its utter downfall. And the ability to forget it ever happened. This is the sequel to the New York Times bestselling WOOL series.,Contains First Shift, Second Shift, and Third Shift.

Butterflies ominously proliferate as children whisper rumors of a mysterious creature lurking in the tunnel behind the school. To appease its wrath, they decide to offer it a sacrifice--a human one. But this is only the beginning of ,Nijigahara Holograph,, which takes place in two separate timelines and involves the suicidal Amahiko; Kohta, the lovestruck bully; their teacher Miss Sakaki, whose heavily bandaged face remains a mystery; and many more brothers, sisters, parents, co-workers, teachers, aggressors, and victims who are all inextricably linked to one another. Ten years later, all will have to face what they've done or suffered through--and maybe the end of the world. ,Nijigahara Holograph,--complex, challenging, and elliptical--was named one of the most anticipated new manga at Comic-Con International: San Diego. Hailed as a voice of the current generation in Japan, Inio Asano, whose ,Solanin, was nominated for Eisner and Harvey awards (and was made into a feature film), delves into David Lynchian territory with this psychological horror story.

Günümüz dünyasını milletlerarası münasebetlerin yapısını ve niteliğini oluşturan gelişmelerin başlangıcı, 1914-18 arasında cereyan etmiş olan Birinci Dünya Savaşı'nın sonuçlarına kadar gitmektedir. Fakat Birinci Dünya Savaşı da durup dururken patlak vermiş olan bir milletlerarası buhran değildir. Bu savaş, 1789-1815 arasında Avrupa'yı alt üst etmiş olan ve bundan da daha mühim olarak insanın siyasal yaşayışında tesirlerini günümüze kadar sürdüren çeşitli siyasal fikir akımlarını ortaya çıkarmış bulunan Fransız İhtilâli'nden sonra kendisini gösteren gelişmelerin bir sonucu olmuştur. Yani, Birinci Dünya Savaşı'nın kökleri, 1815-1914 arasının siyasal ve diplomatik gelişmelerinde yatmaktadır. Dolayısıyla 20. yüzyılı iyi anlayabilmek için 19. yüzyılın siyasî ve sosyal olaylarını çok iyi tahlil etmemiz gerekir.,Ülkemizin siyasî tarih alanında en tanınmış simalardan biri olan Prof. Dr. Fahir Armaoğlu, 20.

Dünya tarihinin seyrini değiştiren Liberalizm, Nasyonalizm ve Sosyalizm akımlarının doğuşundan Birinci Dünya Savaşı'na; İkinci Dünya Savaşı'ndan Soğuk Savaş Dönemi'ne; bloklardaki yapı değişikliklerinden Ortadoğu ve Asya'daki gelişmelere; Yumuşama sürecinden dünya politikasında Ortadoğu'ya kadar birçok olay; Napolyon'dan George Washington'a, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk'ten Churchill'e, Hitler'den Stalin'e, Yasser Arafat'tan Saddam Hüseyin'e, Gorbaçov'dan Turgut Özal'a kadar birçok lider yine yüzlerce Türkçe, Fransızca, İngilizce belge ve kaynak eser kullanılarak incelenmiş ve tarih severlerin beğenisine sunulmuştur. ,Zamanımızda yaşanan siyasî olayları daha iyi anlamak adına 19.

Black and white line drawings illustrate each chapter.,For ages 8-12, grades 3-7.,A swashbuckling story of two very different cat brothers and their adventures at sea.,Cat brothers Cecil and Anton are as different as port and starboard. Cecil, stocky and black with white patches, thirsts for seafaring adventure as he roams the docks of his harborside home, taking day trips on fishing boats when the chance comes along. Slim, gray Anton prefers listening to the sailors’ shanties at the town saloon, venturing to port only for the day’s catch. But one day when Anton goes in search of fresh mackerel, he’s stolen off the dock, and the next thing he knows, he’s at sea.,Knowing little of the wide open ocean that lies beyond the harbor, Cecil boards another ship in hopes of finding Anton.

يقودنا هذا الكتاب إلى الصياغات الأدبية الأولى التي قام بها إبراهيم الكوني ليكشف عن غوامض الصحراء الذي ظل منتظرا طويلا من يندب نفسه ليقرأ ألغازة ويفك طلاسمه ويفض أسرارهز كما لو أن آلاف السنين من عمر الإنسان في الصحراء وصراعه مع طبيتها القاسية وترحاله في أرجائها لم تكن كافية للكشف عن عالم الصحراء إلى أن جاء الكوني وكرّس أدبه ليدلنا على رموزها الخفية الباطنة خلف قناع عريها المكشوف والظاهر.,وإذا كانت الصحراء هي موطن القادة الروحيين الهظام في تاريخ البشرية، وميدان خبراتهم الوجودية وحقل تأملاتهم الروحية، فذلك لأن معاناتها والعيش فيها يتيحان "الخروج| على الحياة المألوفة والمعتقدات السائدة لعالم المدينة حيث التقاليد الراسخة والأنظمة الصارمة تقلل من فرص الخروج والتمرد وتضعف من تطلب الحرية.,الصحراء، وطن الرؤى السماوية ووطن الأنبياء تحضن عشاق الله والحرية وتحمل رسالاتهم بعيدا لغزو أرجاء المعمورة.

Bunlardan, kimisi peygamberlere, kimisi velilere, bir kısmı medyumlara diğer bir kısmı da üniversitelerde ilmî araştırma yapan fikir ve düşünce adamlarına aittir. Ancak bütün bu farklı müşahitlerin birleştikleri ortak bir nokta vardır. O da, maddenin ötesinde, fiziğin verâsında, ne madde ne de fizikle izahı mümkün olmayan yaratıkların mevcudiyeti hakikatidir. Madde asıl değildir. O, ruh ile kaimdir. Hem kâinattaki canlılar sadece dünyadakilerden ibaret olamaz. Dünya ki, diğer yıldız ve gezegenlere göre gayet hakir ve gayet küçük bir kulübe gibidir. O bu hâliyle bu kadar canlıyı içinde barındırıyorsa, elbette yüce ve yüksek saraylar hükmünde olan diğer yıldız ve gezegenler bomboş kalamazlar. Onların da kendilerine uygun sekeneleri ve içlerinde barındırdıkları canlılar vardır. Bizim literatürümüzde onların adı melektir, ruhanîdir, cindir, şeytandır.

R. David Edmunds

In the early 1800s, when control of the Old Northwest had not yet been assured to the United States, the Shawnee leaders Tecumseh and his brother Tenskwatawa, the Shawnee Prophet, led an intertribal movement culminating at the Battle of Tippecanoe and the Battle of the Thames. Historians have portrayed Tecumseh, the war leader, as the key figure in forging the intertribal confederacy. In this full-length biography of Tenskwatawa, R. David Edmunds shows that, to the contrary, the Shawnee Prophet initiated and for much of the period dominated the movement, providing a set of religious beliefs and ceremonies that revived the tribes' fading power and cohesion.

,'I was no longer fitting in at school. I was unsure of my friends, and they were increasingly unsure of me. I wanted to be a rock star. But while all around, voices were starting to break, acne beginning to appear, facial hair sprouting, I remained all flabby flesh and innate scruff, with a high-pitched whine and not a muscle to my name. I was the runt of the class and rarely allowed to forget it. I had no father at home to help me out, and could hardly talk to my mum. So I took solace in The Jam.', , , , , ,As a boy, Tony Fletcher frequently felt out of place. Yet somehow he secured a ringside seat for one of the most creative periods in British cultural history.,Boy About Town ,tells the story of the bestselling author’s formative years in the pre- and post-punk music scenes of London, counting down, from fifty to number one: attendance at seminal gigs and encounters with musical heroes; schoolboy projects that became national success stories; the style culture of punks, mods and skinheads and the tribal violence that enveloped them; life as a latchkey kid in a single-parent household; weekends on the football terraces in a quest for street credibility; and the teenage boy’s unending obsession with losing his virginity.,Featuring a vibrant cast of supporting characters (from school friends to rock stars), and built up from notebooks, diaries, interviews, letters, and issues of his now legendary fanzine ,Jamming!, Boy About Town ,is an evocative, bittersweet, amusing and wholly original account of growing up and coming of age in the glory days of the 1970s.

Derek Walcott

Derek Walcott, galardonado con el premio,Nobel de Literatura en 1992, se ha distinguido por,empaparse en distintas aguas, sean las del Caribe o,las del mar Egeo, de donde han surgido los más grandes,poemas de la historia. Esta antología, traducida por José Luis Rivas, recoge una selección de su obra desde 1946 a 2004, que muestra a un Derek Walcott poseedor de una visión universal y lo sitúa como una de las voces esenciales de nuestro tiempo. En la poesía de Walcott dialogan Homero, Helena, Juan de Patmos, una camarera de Grecia, el sonido de los tambores de Santa Lucía, la pintura de Tiepolo, los escombros del Partenón, las figuras entre las cenizas de Pompeya, el teatro de Seamus Heaney, el pensamiento de Octavio Paz y el de Brodsky. Precisamente este último ha dicho de él que «sus palpitantes e incansables versos llegan a la lengua inglesa como oleadas que coagulan en archipiélagos de poemas sin los cuales el mapa de la literatura moderna se asemejaría al papel pintado. [...] Nos entrega un sentido de infinito encarnado en el lenguaje». En este volumen entran en comunión un sentir y un pensar tan lúcidos que se convierten en un caudaloso río de imágenes que nunca cesa de manar. He aquí al Walcott necesario.

Charly Wegelius

For 11 years I was a professional cyclist, competing in the hardest and greatest races on Earth. I was in demand from the world's best teams, a well-paid elite athlete. But I never won a race. I was the hired help.,When my mum dropped me off in a small French town aged 17, I was full of determination to be a professional cyclist, but I was completely green. I went from mowing the team manager's lawn to winning every amateur race I entered. Then I turned pro and realised I hated the responsibility and pressure of chasing victory. And that's when I became a domestique.,I learned to take that hurt and give it everything I had to give, all for someone else's win. When the order came in to ride it was I pushed out with the hardest rhythm I could, dragging the group faster and faster, until my whole body screamed with pain. There were times I rode myself to a standstill, clutching the barrier metres from the line, as the lead group shot past. But that's what made me a so good at my job.,As my career took off, I started looking at the fans lining the route, cheering us like heroes. The passion for cycling oozed off them, but they couldn't know what it was really like. They didn't see the terrible hotels, the crazy egos or all the shit that goes with great expectations. Well, this is how it is.

Charlotte Higgins

Shortlisted for the 2013 Samuel Johnson Prize and the Thwaites Wainwright Prize,This is a book about the encounter with Roman Britain: about what the idea of ‘Roman Britain’ has meant to those who came after Britain’s 400-year stint as province of Rome – from the medieval mythographer-historian Geoffrey of Monmouth to Edward Elgar and W.H. Auden. What does Roman Britain mean to us now? How were its physical remains rediscovered and made sense of? How has it been reimagined, in story and song and verse?,Charlotte Higgins has traced these tales by setting out to discover the remains of Roman Britain for herself, sometimes on foot, sometimes in a splendid, though not particularly reliable, VW camper van. Via accounts of some of Britain's most intriguing, and often unjustly overlooked ancient monuments, ,Under Another Sky, invites us to see the British landscape, and British history, in an entirely fresh way: as indelibly marked by how the Romans first imagined, and wrote, these strange and exotic islands, perched on the edge of the known world, into existence.

Rob Hayles

The son of a wrestler turned cycling coach called Killer Kowalski, Rob Hayles was soon winning races himself and realizing that he didn't really want to work for a living.

With Bradley Wiggins, he was a member of the first GB team to become world champions at the team pursuit, the most demanding and thrilling discipline on the track.

Sharp, down-to-earth, packed with anecdotes and just plain fun, it takes you from the humblest of beginnings through a golden era in British cycling.

Samuel N. Stokes,A. Elizabeth Watson

A new edition of the book that received the Historic Preservation Book Prize and the American Society for Landscape Architects' Honor Award,Since publication of the first edition of ,Saving America's Countryside, in 1989, the fight to save America's rural resources has met with much success. Approaches considered experimental just a decade ago—greenways and heritage areas, for example—are now widespread. Yet at the same time, such disquieting developments as continuing suburban sprawl, the weakening of federal laws, and the so-called property rights movement all suggest that work remains to be done.,Saving America's Countryside, was the first and is still the only comprehensive, step-by-step guide to protecting the natural, historic, scenic, and agricultural resources of a rural community. The authors show how to organize a conservation effort, inventory available resources, pass effective new laws, set up land trusts, take advantage of federal programs, and change public attitudes.,The thoroughly revised and updated second edition reports on changes in conservation over the past eight years and adds a chapter on making economic development compatible with rural conservation. It includes new case studies, more than fifty new illustrations, and a section on heritage tourism. As in the previous edition, the detailed case studies document a variety of successful—and often surprisingly innovative—conservation efforts by residents of rural communities throughout the United States.

Alexandra Heminsley

In her twenties, Alexandra Heminsley spent more time at the bar than she did in pursuit of athletic excellence. When she decided to take up running in her thirties, she had grand hopes for a blissful runner’s high and immediate physical transformation. After eating three slices of toast with honey and spending ninety minutes on iTunes creating the perfect playlist, she hit the streets—and failed miserably. The stories of her first runs turn the common notion that we are all “born to run” on its head—and expose the truth about starting to run: it can be brutal.,Running Like a Girl, tells the story of how Alexandra gets beyond the brutal part, makes running a part of her life, and reaps the rewards: not just the obvious things, like weight loss, health, and glowing skin, but self-confidence and immeasurable daily pleasure, along with a new closeness to her father—a marathon runner—and her brother, with whom she ultimately runs her first marathon.,But before that, she has to figure out the logistics of running: the intimidating questions from a young and arrogant sales assistant when she goes to buy her first running shoes, where to get decent bras for the larger bust, how not to freeze or get sunstroke, and what (and when) to eat before a run. She’s figured out what’s important (pockets) and what isn’t (appearance), and more.,For any woman who has ever run, wanted to run, tried to run, or failed to run (even if just around the block), Heminsley’s funny, warm, and motivational personal journey from nonathlete extraordinaire to someone who has completed five marathons is inspiring, entertaining, prac­tical, and fun.

',Grammar is the science of using words rightly, leading to thinking rightly, leading to deciding rightly, without which - as both common sense and experience show - happiness is impossible. ,Therefore: ,happiness depends at least partly on good grammar.,',So writes Mr Gwynne in his small, but perfectly formed new book. Mr Gwynne believes passionately that we must regain our knowledge of the lost science of grammar before it is too late.,Formerly a successful businessman, Mr Gwynne has for many years been teaching and tutoring just about every sort of subject to just about every sort of pupil in just about every sort of circumstance. His teaching methods are very much the traditional, common-sense ones, refined over the centuries, that were almost everywhere until they were abolished in the 1960s. Being disappointed in the standards of grammar he encountered in his pupils, Mr Gwynne, over time, wrote this wonderful, succinct and yet comprehensive little book - because nothing quite as suitable already existed.,This edition also includes Strunk's classic guide to style, explaining how to write well and the main pitfalls to avoid. Beautifully designed, easy to understand and a joy to read, ,Gwynne's Grammar, may be the best little book you will ever have in your life.

Wells to Holst, Kabuki to Kubrick, and Elvis to Iggy, ,The most ambitious and important book on Ziggy Stardust ever written, this study documents the epic drama of the Starman's short but eventful time on Planet Earth, and why Bowie eventually had to kill him. It was the greatest invention in the history of pop music—the rock god who came from the stars—which struck a young David Bowie like a lightning bolt from the heavens. When Ziggy the glam alien messiah fell to Earth, he transformed Bowie from a prodigy to a superstar who changed the face of music forever. But who was Ziggy Stardust? And where did he really come from? Beautifully packaged, this will be a must-have artifact for Bowie fans.

In this no-holds-barred account, the former head of the United Nations in Sudan reveals for the first time the shocking depths of evil plumbed by those who designed and orchestrated ‘the final solution’ in Darfur.,A veteran of humanitarian crisis and ethnic cleansing in Iraq, Rwanda, Srebrenica, Afghanistan and Sierra Leone, Dr Mukesh Kapila arrived in Sudan in March 2003 having made a promise to himself that if he were ever in a position to stop the mass-killers, they would never triumph on his watch.,Against a Tide of Evil, is a strident and passionate ,cri de coeur,. It is the deeply personal account of one man driven to extreme action by the unwillingness of those in power to stop mass murder. It explores what empowers a man like Mukesh Kapila to stand up and be counted, and to act alone in the face of global indifference and venality.,Kapila’s story reads like a knife-edge international thriller as he risks all to use the powers at his disposal to bring to justice those responsible for the first mass murder of the twenty-first century: the Darfur genocide.

Sue Tompkins

What are astrological aspects and how do they show themselves in a horoscope? How do they relate to the zodiac as a whole and how important are they ? Most importantly, how can they best be put to use in understanding our individual needs and relationships? Sue Tompkins, former Director of Schools for the prestigious Faculty of Astrological Studies, explains the significance and practical use of astrological aspects, which go much deeper into revealing the layers of a person's character than do most summaries offered by basic descriptions of star signs. Included is a section offering interpretations for every planetary combination. Also featured are examples drawn from the lives of many well-known people, along with charts and diagrams. Not simply another book on astrology, this is informative and useful guide will appeal equally to the experienced astrologer and to the beginner who wishes to know more.

Fernando Savater

¿Qué vigencia tienen los diez mandamientos? ¿Siguen siendo una guía ética y moral para la sociedad occidental a pesar del paso del tiempo y del cambio radical de la vida y las costumbres? Pocos filósofos son capaces de explicar con sencillez y claridad grandes cuestiones que afectan a la historia de la humanidad como este código de diez mandatos divinos inscriptos en las tablas de la ley que un día llevó Moisés a su pueblo.,Contenido,Fernando Savater, filósofo agnóstico, analiza con elegante ironía los diez mandamientos aproximándolos al punto de vista del siglo XXI. Sin apartarse de la realidad y sin olvidar las cuestiones que nos interesan a todos, la obra recorre uno a uno los mandamientos –desde el "amarás a Dios sobre todas las cosas" hasta el "no codiciarás los bienes ajenos"– y su explicación histórica, pasando por la ambigua prohibición de robar o el deber de honrar a los progenitores. ,Con introducciones en las que el autor se dirige directamente a Dios tuteándolo y recriminándolo en ocasiones, y con la ayuda de las opiniones de un rabino y de un cura católico que ofrecen el contrapunto a sus mordaces y agudas observaciones, Fernando Savater ofrece al lector una reinterpretación moderna y universal de los principales tabúes y preocupaciones humanas. ,Este libro es la versión editorial de una serie de televisión dedicada al tema de los diez mandamientos en la que el autor sirvió como hilo conductor con otros interlocutores.

Laurie Bauer,Peter Trudgill

The media are ruining English"; "Some languages are harder than others"; "Children can't speak or write properly anymore." Such pieces of "cultural wisdom" are often expressed in newspapers and on radio and television. Rarely is there a response from experts in the fields of language and language development. In this book ,Laurie Bauer, and ,Peter Trudgill, have invited nineteen respected linguists from all over the world to address these "language myths"--showing that they vary from the misconceived to the downright wrong. With essays ranging from "Women Talk Too Much" and "In the Appalachians They Speak Like Shakespeare" to "Italian Is Beautiful, German Is Ugly" and "They Speak Really Bad English Down South and in New York City," ,Language Myths, is a collection that is wide-ranging, entertaining, and authoritative.

But I needed to find out for myself. Two weeks later I was gone, witnessing my new world wizz by, especially at dusk, then darkness as I watched the sum of all the city lights cast my silhouette across the pine trees of the Florida panhandle. This was it, I was riding my very first freight train. And soon, what would begin as mere natural curiosity and self-discovery would evolve into a casting call of sorts, taking photographs of my newfound friends. — Mike Brodie,11 x 13 Inches,60 Four-color Plates,104 Pages
